Special Scheduling with SM36

[Former Member]

Hello,

I created a new job wih SM36. Now I need to schedule it, here is the problem : this job must be executed everyday (easy) every 15 minutes (easy) BUT from 24h to 19h. This is this last restriction I don't achieve to set.

Firstly, is this possible ?

If yes, how to ?

We don't want to use our IBM scheduler (TWS) for this.

Thanks for any help

This is not possible in sap Job management unless you wanted to do individual schedule and drop the unwanted jobs as said by some one in the forum.

I suggest you to pursue the option with the external scheduler to achieve what you have described.

You can also take a look at CPS in solman to see of you have the option in there.

thanks Venkat,

but the method you provided just allow the execution of the script every 15 minutes all day long. What I want is the execution of the script every 15 minutes but only between midnight and 19 O'clock.

Did you check the help.sap.com link which I copied?

[Former Member]

As I red in the link you posted, there is no other way for doing this but to write a program myself ...

so bad...

Yes, Take help from your ABAP Team if you don't want to use other job scheduling applications.

Well not sure if this way it is possible.

But I have an idea {bad one you can say }

Use below steps

1. Schedule your job to run daily every 15 minutes, as usual (EASY), using a user specific for this job (I mean step user)

2. At 19 hours schedule a job to lock this batch user. So above job will fail after this time

3. At 24 hours schedule a job to unlock this batch user. So job will then run fine.

Not sure if you like it. Something bad but. Let us know if you get proper solution.

Thanks

Hi,

This can be done by scheduling individual jobs for every one hour to run at 15 mins frequency. I believe, no other option through SAP.

Hi,

An other way is to schedule the job every 15 mn and to add a small specific abap program as a first step.

This program will interrupt the job if it runs outside its authorised time schedule.

Not very prestty but it couls work without defining a lot of daily jobs...
