how to kill a background job

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I would like to ask on how to kill a background job in SAP? I have tried to cancel it via sm50, sm37, dpmon, and even the kill -9 command but none of those commands can solve the issue still the job is running.

Can you guide me on how to deal to such issue and if you know a command on how to kill that particular job.

Hoping for your immediate response.

Hi,

I think you may not have proper authorization to kill the job.

You can kill the job through SM50 as follows.

SM50 -> Choose the background job -> click Process -> and then click Cancel without core.

If the job is still not getting killed you can ask your basis person to kill it.

Regards
