How to select server in which background job should run

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to run my program as background job. I want the user to select the server, in which background job should be run, in the selection screen of my program. When it is sheduled in background the job should run in the selected server.

How to do this?

Hi,

Background job should run on the server you want program to be executed, if yiur program is transported to production system and you want it to be exucuted in background then you need to schedule the job in the production system.

If you have program with selection screen then you need to create a varient for the program and for perticular selection criteria and while creating the background job; you need to assign this varient and you need to give start time of the job, so program will be executed in background at given time and date for the assigned varient.

YOU WILL FIND MANY THREADS TO DO THE SAME.

Use parameter TARGETSERVER of the JOB_CLOSE function module. Study the online documentation for further details.
