Shedule a job as system user

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to know how I could schedule a job (sm36/sm37) as a user of type System user. Obviously the straight forward approach of logging on with the user and then just defining and scheduling the job doesn't work since system users cannot log on via SAP GUI.

Is there some other way of switching user once logged on to a SAP system. Or how could this be solved otherwise?

Regards,

Christian

this is not possible but if u want all your jobs to be running on a single name ,in step enter the user name (any type of user who has relevant authorization) even though the job is created by different users it will run only on the user defined in step

In the job step definition (where you specify the ABAP program to execute, and the variant), up at the top of the screen is a "run as user" field; just put the system userid in there and save the job definition.

Note: You need the S_BTC_NAME authorizaiton object with the system user's name or '*' to do this.
