RV60SBAT: Job with mulitiple steps to run independently ¬ simultaneously

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are facing an issue in our ECC6.0 upgrade in billing due list program. In ECC6.0 new program

RV60SBAT(VF06) is introduced in place of old program SAPMV60S. I believe program RV60SBAT internally calls program SDBILLDL.

We have a scenario to create billing due list for multiple organization, which needs to be done in a single job. We have tried multiple times to setup a job with 2/more steps where each step executes RV60SBAT. Regardless of how we set the variant - with Synchronous via VB log or Synchronous w/o VB log or Asynch - it always runs both steps immediately - not waiting for the previous job (submitted by 1st step) to complete.

We need some pointers on how to schedule the steps to run in such a way that only after the previous step completes the next step should trigger.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

While creating the BATCH JOB in SM36 , you have to enter the Variant in the Second step, then automatically the Job will pick the Variant and run as second step.

The first and second step will be controlled in the Program, Just you have to create the step as first and second as per your preference and requirement

This is controlled internally by the program and no manual inteference is required.

Hi Santosh,

The problem is with the program RV60SBAT. If you set mulutiple steps,all steps run simultaneously without waiting for the previous step to complete.

Hello Dusmanta,

RV60SBAT does not create billing documents.

It just creates background jobs for report SDBILLDL, which really

creates the billing documents.

So when RV60SBAT finishes, SDBILLDL is still running, so the billing

document creation is not finished yet.

The suggestion of note 652219 is to run directly report SDBILLDL

instead of RV60SBAT.

So when SDBILLDL finishes, the billing documents are really created.

Hello Dusmanta,

Please schedule SDBILLDL directly instead of RV60SBAT as a workaround
