Hi Rhishabh,

Actually we can not completely schedule background at OSLevel but we can trigger a background job which has alreadyscheduled by using sapevt tool syntax as follows.

sapevt <event name> nr=<instance name> name=<host name>

or we have tool like

In unix you use crontab.

We can use different job scheduling softwares like IBM TIVOLI software MAESTRO JOB SCHEDULING CONSOLE, Control M

Hi Rishabh,

You can schedule jobs at Database level but I am not very sure whether u can schedule SAP jobs at OS level.

what u can do is through SM36 you can define in steps external program;that program can be on OS which the job will execute

hope it helps
