ADM100 Lesson: Fundamentals of Background Processing
261 Exercise 16: Fundamentals of Background
Processing
Exercise Duration: 10 minutes
Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Determine the configuration of your SAP system with regard to
background processing
Business Example
Reports to be run regularly and long-running programs are scheduled as
background jobs in the system. The administrator schedules background
jobs and monitors the correct process of the system’s background
processing.
Task Checking the Configuration
Check the configuration of your SAP system with regard to background
processing
The following steps will make you familiar with the settings of the SAP
system that are relevant for background processing:
1. How many background processes are configured in your SAP system?
2. What determines the number of available background work
processes?
3. How many background jobs can be processed simultaneously?
4. Find out if background work processes are reserved for class A jobs
in your system.
5. Assume that all background work processes in your system are
currently processing and there are therefore no free resources for
other jobs. Can you set up additional background work processes
without restarting the SAP system?
