Hi All,

Why we can't transport Background jobs between systems?

It would have been better if SAP provides a tool for the transportation of Background jobs.

Hi Raja,

If you think for sometime what is the purpose of transport, and whats a background job for,..then you would get the answer by yourself.

Please remember the need of background jobs, using background processing, you tell the SAP System to run programs for you which if run in dialog would take resource for longer time affecting the dialog response of the system. Background processing lets you move long-running or resource-intensive program runs to times when the system load is low.

On the other hand, The purpose of transport is to maintain the change management of the system and keep everything in sync across the landscape. like reports or customizing. But you wouldn't find the exactly same jobs running in your development and in production as there are number of reports which are meant for specific systems only. Now you can't create those report in production directly as system needs open for this activity and such a case would be against the recommendation of making production as most stable system (in a 3 system landscape) and hence use transport for the report to be available in production and schedule as background job in respective system where required.

hope this will clarify your doubt.
