SAP Reference Assignment: How Does It Work?

I need to move a SAP background job (ABAP report for A / P) to Cronacle and cannot figure out how to stop the job in SAP so that I can start it with the Cronacle schedule.

The job runs in SAP from user SAPSYS every morning at 7:15 am, but if you look at it at sm37, it has no scheduled time and is not triggered by an event; also, this status is PLANNED.

I had a search for a command in Cronacle by job number, but they couldn't find any scripts indicating that job. If you look at the completed work, it shows that it is scheduled daily at 7:15 am. Also, there are no predecessor or successor assignments. Is it possible that it started with another job? How to find out about it without deleting it?

Some suggestion.



  • If you don't want to delete the scheduled task. try renaming it and see if it keeps working.
  • Make sure the users you are using for sm37 have full authorization to administer the backround.
  • The previous job can schedule and release and create and independent of the new job. See what works before problematic work.
  • Take a deep look at dev traces. They suggest something about what is happening in the system.

When added to a previous job that explicitly creates a new job, it is also possible that the job is created manually by an ABAP program that is scheduled in another job. Executing the function used on the OPEN_JOB function module and looking for programs Z * or Y * may give you a hint.



Another matter is whether this scheduled job has actually been canceled (ie are there any previous "FINISHED" jobs with the same name). The scheduled task will not run if it is not released for the first time. Therefore, if it never starts, it might be out of date.

Thanks for answers! It turned out to be "beginners' ignorance." When using the SM37 to review a job, I forgot to extend the search date to the next day. I don't know why this doesn't show the released work for the current day, but its distribution the next day did. This is a lesson I will not forget!
