ADM100 Lesson: Fundamentals of Background Processing
• Definition of one or more job steps
• Definition of start conditions (time- or event-controlled)
The Job Wizard supports you when defining jobs, by leading your through
the individual steps listed above.
However, with the Job Wizard - unlike with “classical” scheduling - you
cannot perform individual steps with different users.
Figure 97: Job Monitoring
Use transaction SM37 to monitor jobs.
You can select jobs using various criteria on the initial screen of this
transaction. In this way, you can display all jobs that contain a particular
job step, that have a particular status, or that react to a defined event (for
this, you must select a particular event or “*”).
You can navigate to other job-specific views from the job overview shown
above:
• The spool list contains the output lists for ABAP programs (if they
exist).
• The job details contain, among other information, the job definition,
duration of the processing of the job, and the start time of the job. You
can adjust the layout of the displayed list to your requirements by
adding or removing additional fields.
