Developing and Scheduling Jobs 

Purpose

The process below outlines the steps in developing and scheduling jobs for the SAP NetWeaver Scheduler for Java.

Prerequisites

The application server is running.

Process Flow

...

       1.      In the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio, you create a job definition. See Job Definition.

       2.      You deploy the job definition on the application server.

       3.      You schedule instances of the job definition by creating a scheduler task.

You can create a scheduler task programmatically from within an application by using the Scheduler API. For more information, see Scheduler Task.

You can create scheduler tasks based on existing job definitions that are already deployed on the server. You can create many scheduler tasks based on the same job definition.

For a step-by-step guide on developing a job definition and creating a scheduler task for it, see the tutorial Creating and Scheduling Your First Job.
