Query on batch jobs with overlapping time during execution time

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

This post is related to a task in SAP SCM EM module and currently I am working on an archival activity that comprises of two tasks to be done through 2 different programs (scheduled through batch jobs)

Job 1 is created to deactivate particular Event Handler records (changing a status field on the EH record)

Job 2 (archival job) runs daily and writes deactivated EHs to a local file and subsequently deletes this from SAP server.

Archival job takes an average of 30 hrs to complete .

Therefore my query is on how to schedule Job1, as these seem to be dependent and might impact each other in unexpected manner.

Please advise.

Thanks & regards,

Mohan

Hi Mohan,

You can try as Daniel suggested. Delay Archieving job or can run after deactivating Event Handler records job is finished. Check any parallel processing is available or not.

It can stop your overlapping issue and can increase your performance.

You can change starting time of the dependent job, there you can enter that it shall start after completion of the first job.
