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...!
