Unit 9: Scheduling Background Tasks ADM100
Figure 102: Event-Dependent Start of a Job
An application server is specified for the processing of events that are
triggered within the SAP system in profile parameter rdisp/btcname.
An event-dependent job scheduler is started on this server (unlike the
time-dependent job scheduler, which runs periodically on all background
servers). This scheduler checks whether a job is waiting for the event
that has been received. It is therefore important that the parameter
rdisp/btcname contains the name of an active background server.
Event-dependent jobs can be scheduled with one of the following three
start conditions:
After event
The job starts after a defined event is received by the SAP system.
At operation mode
With this option, you can link a job to the activation of an operation
mode when scheduling the job.
After job
In this way, you can create simple job chains in which the execution
of the successor job can be made dependent on the status of the
predecessor job.
