Batch-Job curiosity

29 Views

Hello Forum,

I post this as "new topic" because I could not find any hint with the provided forum-search function.

I have following problem to solve and I ran out of ideas:

There is an ABAP report running in background. It starts early in the morning as scheduled and finishes late at night as customised in a special Z-table.

Its (deamon-)function is to transfer files via FTP between different systems and to submit other jobs to process incoming files. This works very well...! 😉

At very unregular times this job seems not to finish.

SM37 displays it as "active"...

SM50 also shows it...

But it really does not do anything!!!

I tried to stop the active Job with SM37; message : "Job ... is not active (cancel not possible)"

I tried to delete it; message : "Job active, function not possible"

The only way to stop and remove the job was to contact the Basis crew. They used SM50 to "kill" the job.

I have no Idea how and why this situation appears. The job seems to run endless... (endless-loop impossible 😉)

It is absolutely necessary that the ends by itself!

Anybody faced similar problems with endless running jobs...?

Any ideas are welcome...!
