Background job fails with system exception

[Former Member]

Hi,

When I execute an ABAP program in background which creates XML files in AL11 the job fails with system exception error. There are two application servers in out test environment, the job runs fine in one application server but when the same job goes to another application server it fails. Can someone help me resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Please check the specified directory path in al11, this should be common for both application server.

Because whenever a BG job is executed to create XML files in  a directory or path in AL11, the job will be processed in any one of the application server because of load balancing. So if ur path is not accessible by any one of this server then it will get cancelled.

How to check whether the path is common for both application server.  if the path is not accessible by any one of this server then it could be a authorization issue or should i take basis team help.

No raghu its not authorization issue, its an mount point were all the available app servers can access data from. So please ask your basis team whether the path or directory is only shared with one app server or it is common across all app servers.

Zerandib,

 
It is a z program to create xml files in AL11. The error message says 'Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE'.
