Printing job

[Former Member]

Hi there,

Here we have been printing the invoces by RSNAST00 program. It is being done each 3 minutes. But in monthly closing, this job is taking more than 3 minutes.

So, the job started and the other job is still running.

Is there a way of the re-schedule the job only after his end execution?

Thanks in advance,

Hi!

One way is to have external batch scheduling software, which handles starting and monitoring of batch jobs. One program is BMC Software's Control-M. If you use external batch job management, there will not be issues you mentioned.

You can create conditions so you can trigger a job after the other one finish... but i don't know if you can create a continious loop....

Anyhow I think the best is to change the periodic value so you don't create a bottleneck.

Juan,

If there is a function to create or release a job, i could create a user-exit in the end of the RSNAST00 program.

So, in the end of the printing, the user-exit create/release another job but only 3 minutes later.

But i dont know if it is possible!

Thanks for you answer,

Yup you can use the user exit to trigger the printing job.

I feel during month end your spool workprocesses are occupied.

I hope you can trigger it using user exit and ensure that once that job or event is done then it automatically triggers the printing.

Vivek,

The problem is that I dont know if exists some abap function that "release" a job.

Do you know if it exists?
