Managing "Easy-Method" Jobs with BP_JOBVARIANT_OVERVIEW

With BP_JOBVARIANT_OVERVIEW, you can offer your users a simplified display and management function for their "express-method" jobs.

With the function module, the user can:

• Display the following details for the selected jobs: displays the job title, report name and variant, start time specification, status, and scheduling user of each selected "express" job

• allows users to change the start specification and restart period of jobs that have not yet been run

• allows a user to display the job log and spool output of completed jobs

• allows users to delete jobs that are not currently running.

  You could use the following code to let users check on jobs that they have scheduled with the sample code shown in Easy Job Scheduling Using BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE.

  call function 'BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE' " Schedule jobs; 
  " counterpart to 
  exporting " BP_JOBVARIANT_OVERVIEW
  title_name = 'Documentation Check' " Displayed as title of 
  " of scheduling screens
  job_name = 'DocuCheck' " Name of background 
  " processing job
  prog_name = 'RSTWGZS2' " Name of ABAP 
  " report that is to be
  " run -- used also to 
  " select variants
  exceptions
  no_such_report = 01. " PROG_NAME program 
  " not found.
  
  call function 'BP_JOBVARIANT_OVERVIEW'
  exporting
  title_name = 'Documentation Check' " Displayed as title
  " of overview screen
  job_name = 'DokuCheck' " Jobs with this name 
  " are listed
  prog_name = 'RSTWGZS2' 
  exceptions
  no_such_job = 01.
  
                 

From this screen, your users can do the following, subject to background processing authorizations:

• delete or change the start time of jobs that have not yet started

• display the job logs and spool output generated by jobs that have been completed.
