How to execute a process in a certain server

[Former Member]

Hi all, We have a scheduled job to be executed in a certain server. This job trigger some process and the system do the load balancing, but we want that this processes runs in the same server than the job

Is possible to do this?, How to force the system to execute this processes in the same server than the job?

thanks.

Juan,

If you are speaking of a scheduled job - like one you can find in SM37, then you can set a specific server as the target server - like the CI.

First, check the following:

SM61 - make sure you have operation modes setup for the servers. The filed EXEC TARGET in the SM36/SM37 job definition reads for values based upon what you have setup here. The servers in the landscape will show up by default, but you can build a group to include/exclude certain servers as you see fit.

Next, in either SM36 when building a job, or in SM37 to change an existing job, open the job in change mode. On the first screen, you'll see a field labeled "Exec. Target" - use the match code values (F4 help) to select the target server you want. Save the job, and you are all set.

Hope this helps.

Tim,

Our jobs are scheduled to run in some servers and like you tell me we have done this in the transaction SM37, but this is not the problem because the jobs run in the server that we have assigned them. The problem is: some processes launched from the job, these processes are assigned to other servers (in function of the system load) and we want to force these processes to execute in the same server than the job.

thanks.
