Hi Venugopal,

In SM36,Background job scheduler,

Released means that the time set for the background job has just reached and it can start anytime now.

Cancelled means that due to some reason,the job could not be completed and there must be some error.

Finished means the background job have been completed successfully.

In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.

Regards,

Puneet Jhari.

1.Scheduled : means Scheduled for Back ground at specified time and will get ready as and when it should.

2.Released : means job is going to become active and will run

3.ready: Ready for Run in back ground and will become active as soon as it gets a processor

4.Active: job is running

5.Finished: Finifhed in Background and list can be checked in spool

6.Closed: job has been closed.

7. Can we change the Status of any job...i mean if the job status is Complete , can i change this to another Status --> U can't change the status of a completed job...Instead u can check it & re-run it if u want.

The Job Status values are as follows:

Scheduled - the job exists

Released - it has a start condition

Ready - it is free to run

Active - it is running

Finished - it has completed successfully

Cancelled - it has completed unsuccessfully

In SM37 you can double-click on any job to view it's details, and to look at the steps, start conditions, rin log etc.

Hi,

Released : If any job is scheduled, and when time is meet then the job will released to execute.

Cancelled : If any job is terminated, because of ABAP dump or due to any other reasons job will be cancelled.

Finished : When scheduled job is successfully completed. It is called as Job is finished.

Thanks,

Sriram Ponna.
