Job Interception Configuration

When a job is found in the SAP System it is checked against the XBP interception rules defining the action to take on the job. The pattern matching is case sensitive.

Setting up connection information

See the Connection Details for the ABAP Stack section of the documentation for details on how to set up a connection to the ABAP stack.

The following wildcards are supported in masks:

* to match any string, for example BI_PROCESS_* would match BI_PROCESS_ABAP and BI_PROCESS_OR.
? to match a single character, for example RSUSR?00 would match RSUSR200 and RSUSR400.

The following actions are available:

Monitor: A reference to the job is created in SAP CPS. The status of the SAP job can be monitored in the job monitor of the SAP CPS.
Hold: The same as Monitor with the difference that if the SAP job is found to be in a Released state in SAP (which means waiting to start at a certain point in time), it is dereleased (put back in status Scheduled in SAP) and submitted on hold in SAP CPS.
Ignore: Jobs that match this rule are confirmed in SAP, so they are not checked again
Schedule: The same as Hold with the difference that the job is scheduled to start at the time it was intended to be in SAP.
Start Immediately: The same as Schedule with the difference that SAP CPS attempts to start the job as soon as possible.

Note Note

Jobs that do not match any of the defined rules are skipped, but not confirmed in SAP, so they are checked at the next synchronization round.

End of the note.

You can restrict job control rules to SAP jobs with the following statuses:

Scheduled (P)
Released (S)
Ready (Y)
Active (R)
Finished (F)
Canceled / Error (A)
