Run Process Chain jobs in System ID

[Former Member]

Hi,

Most of the Process Chain jobs (e.g. Data Loads, Agg rollup, index deletion etc..) are developed in the user ID profiles. Subsequently the jobs also run under the individual ID. Is there any way to execute these jobs in System ID instead of the individual User ID.

We face this problem especially when the user ID expires, then all the jobs under that ID fail. So instead of waiting till that to happen, can we take some preventive measure.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

If your system is set up to activate and schedule process chains after importing from a transport, then the process chain jobs will all have ALEREMOTE user attached to the job names. However, frequently the process chains need to be changed within the Production environment and when reactivated and scheduled, the job names default to the user that activated it.

So, theoretically, if you do not want to go through SM37 and manually change all the BI_PROCESS_xxxx jobs to change the user name, one thought would be to log on using the batch user ID (may have to work with your Basis and/or Security team) and reactivate and schedule your process chains.

Hope this helps.

Hi Srinivas

You can use background user instead of particular user name

Hi Srinivas,

This can be done as follows:

1. In SM37, select your released job.

2. Select Job->Change from the menu.

3. Select "Step" for the job now (in the change mode).

4. Click on the job and edit the job (pencil on the top left).

5. Here change the user to your system user id.

Now, even though a developer created the batch job, it will run under system user id. Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards
