NO Spool created on APO Batch job

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have a batch job created with 6 steps in, the first 3 stepsdo not create a spool at all, is there some setting I am missing as I have been informed that these steps used to create a spool request?

thanks in advance

the first 3 steps are as follows:-

1 - Constency Check for existing time series Networks <b>No Spool</b>

2 - Create Characterisitc combinations <b>No Spool</b>

3 - Constency Check for existing time series Networks <b>No Spool</b>

4 - Calculate Proportional Factors OK

5 - Load Planning Area version OK

6 - Raise Event for APO DP OK

I have checked the settings and on steps 1 to 3 the log creation has been selected.

Hai,

Consistency check jobs will create a spool only if the job has corrected some inconsistencies. Otherwise there would be no spool. You can see the job log and probably it would say that the job is successfully finished.

Similarly, Charcom creation job would not create a spool, if there are no new charcoms generated during the job. On such occasions, job log would specify that "all combinations exist".

Hope this helps you.

run the jobs online and check if there is any spool (or any spool with errors)

if not there may be no reason for a spool in the background job

Ok the 2 jobs I am running are 2 SAP standard programs

/SAPAPO/TS_LCM_COMS_CHECK

/SAPAPO/TS_PLOBS_GENERATE

The first job I do get a log created and all the recent entries in the log are green 🐵

The second job I have the results log selected, but am unable to display the Logs (says "No log exists") is there a transaction that I can display old logs?

I have run both of these programs on the quality system but am unable to run on the Production system due to authorizations

to display old logs try this

- /sapapo/c7 - use object APO_FCS and run to get a list of logs

click on the one you think might be the one you are looking for using selections for time, user etc for a detailed log

Hi Guy

What are the programs in the the steps that dont create the spool?

Pl check the programs and see if there are options to set a Log

If so ensure the variant in your job has the Log option checked
