Hi Venkat,

At SM37, we can do, you can copy the same job and rename the user id.

Or

you can follow as suggested below link:

Raman, thanks i tried to follow the post:

you can sort out based on user id.

select the job to which you want to change user name.

in menu bar --> job --> change

click on change user, give the required user name and save.

But the last step click on change user.  i can not find CHANGE USER.

Thanks.

Hi Venkat,

    I just want to re-iterate the steps.

1. When you create a job, select schedule date and time (two minutes later than current).
2. Goto SM37, find the job. This will be in scheduled state.
3. Click on the job, goto Job menu and select Change.
4. On Next screen, click on Step.
5. You will get a window like below.Click on edit (pencil button), then on next pop up, change the user name to desired one ( I guess BWREMOTE ?). Save it here , go to previous step and save it again.

When the time ticks at the scheduled time, job will start with given username.

Hope it helps!

Thanks,

Umashankar

Hi Venkat,

I think, on above link STEP option was missed. You can follow as said Umashanakr. its clear steps what you need.

Thanks

Background job will always execute by system user id(whatever you have created in SPRO). Any one can schedule the job, but job will be triggered by BGD user id only.

[former_member182470]

If you simply want to schedule the job by system user id, you have to login with that Id and schedule the job. Then, you will be able to  see the job released by System User Id.

You cannot change your user id after you created/scheduled/released.

As I already told you that job can be created by any, but the execution will be done bye BGD User which you specify in SPRO.

Hi ,

We can  change user ID as we need. Because some times user id will expire when he left the company. in that cases we need to change to default ids like bwremote or alremote or any another user id.

In previous project we did the same. when user id was expired process chain starting step it self always will be in yellow. in that cases we need to check about user id also.

Thanks

Hi raman,

I am not saying that. I say job can be scheduled by anybody, but execution will happen with the user id what you mentioned in SPRO.

Yes suman, job always triggered by the id which we maintained in backend(spro) like bwremote or aleremote.

Thanks
