Hi,

Please research in Google before posting this type of "how to do" questions as many threads or help documents readily available in internet.

Okay Let's come to your question, if you select the specified option for particular job, that will put that job into scheduled status from released status so it will not run until you release it again.

To cancel the job, you have multiple options,

1. From menu bar of SM37 , Job--> cancel active job option

This will cancel selected running job or

2. Kill corresponding BYC workprocess from SM50 or MC - Be careful when you do this, if you kill wrong wp then the job that supposed to be run would get killed by mistake.

Thanks,

Hi Raju.

For BG jobs, create a common user id, schedule all BG jobs in one single user id. so that you can avoid all common issues.

Hi Pradeep ,

Thank you for your response. I have one doubt , some background job are cancelled due to user locked ( actually he left the company and some jobs are scheduled on his ID ) so can i change user name as background user? if yes kindly request you please advise me.

* I am fresher in SAP.

Thank you

Yes, As Sriram suggested, go with single user ID like BTC_USER and give full authorization to this user. Create this user ID as SYSTEM user so no one can login. Then change the jobs to this user ID.

Thanks,
