JOB_SUBMIT

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

i have a job to submit. the report name is RKGALKSU5 (Actual Assessment). the variant is VAR1. the parameters to be passed to the selectio-screen is stored in RSPARAMS internal table. it has more than one cycle to submit.

right now i am using

SUBMIT RKGALKSU5 USING SELECTION-SET 'VAR1'

WITH SELECTION-TABLE IT_RSPARAMS1

VIA JOB 'ASSESSMENT1' NUMBER JOBNUMBER1

AND RETURN.

but the problem is all the cycles are executed in parallel.

how can i submit the job in steps.

usign job submit how to do the job steps

where should i passs the parameters for selection screen in the function module job_submit.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'

One option is to create a new job each time using JOB_OPEN and start the 2nd job after the 1st job has completed.

You need to use the parameters PREDJOB_CHECKSTAT,

PRED_JOBCOUNT and PRED_JOBNAME in the function JOB_CLOSE.

Hi Kiran,

thanks for your prompt reply. i will give u the clear picture. two cycles are created for each costcenter (iteration1 and iteration2 cycles). if it is a costcenter groupd more than one iteration1 and iteration2 cycles. all the cycles for iteration1 are collected in one internal table......IT_RSPARAMS1 which is the selection-table containg the parameters to be sent to the selection screen for program RKGALKSU5. similrly iteration2 cycles in IT_RSPARAMS2.

suppose there are 20 costcenters in costcenter group.

then 20 cyles each for both iteration1 and iteration2.

now i need to submit these cycles for execution.

iteration1 cycles are submitted as job1 and then job2 for iteration2.

for iteration1 i used

job_open.

SUBMIT RKGALKSU5 USING SELECTION-SET 'VARTEST2'

WITH SELECTION-TABLE IT_RSPARAMS1

VIA JOB 'ASSESSMENT1' NUMBER JOBNUMBER1

AND RETURN.

job_close.

with this all the iteration1 cycles (20) are getting executed in parallel. but i want them as jobsteps.

i tried to loop

loop at it_rsparams1.

job_open.

SUBMIT RKGALKSU5 USING SELECTION-SET 'VARTEST2'

WITH SELECTION-TABLE IT_RSPARAMS1

VIA JOB 'ASSESSMENT1' NUMBER JOBNUMBER1

AND RETURN.

job_close.

endloop.

but getting errors.

i am wondering whether we can do jobsteps with job_submit.

the program to run is RKGALKSU5 and parameters for selection screen are IT_RSPARAMS1 ( contains all 20 iteration1 cycles) . and the variant is VAR1.

suggest where to pass the above to the attributes of job_submit.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'

Hey,

I am not sure how to add steps to a job programatically but I had a similar problem sometime back and I created 2 separate jobs and made the 2nd job run after the 1st job was over. It is similar to having 2 steps in a single job as the 2nd step would start processing after the 1st step has finished.

Sample code below:

Create both the reports below:

REPORT zkartest.

DO 500000 TIMES.

WRITE:/ sy-index.

ENDDO.

REPORT zjobtest.

DATA: jobcount1 LIKE tbtcjob-jobcount,

jobname1 LIKE tbtcjob-jobname,

jobcount2 LIKE tbtcjob-jobcount,

jobname2 LIKE tbtcjob-jobname,

date LIKE tbtcjob-sdlstrtdt,

time LIKE tbtcjob-sdlstrttm,

index(2) TYPE c.

DO 5 TIMES.

index = sy-index.

CONCATENATE 'ZTESTKAR' index INTO jobname1.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

jobgroup = 'TEST'

jobname = jobname1

jobcount = jobcount1

cant_create_job = 1

invalid_job_data = 2

jobname_missing = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE i000(vz) WITH 'Error in function' 'OPEN'.

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'

EXPORTING

authcknam = sy-uname

jobcount = jobcount1

jobname = jobname1

report = 'ZKARTEST'

bad_priparams = 1

MESSAGE i000(vz) WITH 'Error in function' 'SUBMIT'.

ENDIF.

IF sy-index = 1.

date = sy-datum.

time = sy-uzeit + 120 .

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

jobcount = jobcount1

jobname = jobname1

ENDDO.

Is this what you are looking for?

call function job_open.

loop at cost center groups.

SUBMIT RKGALKSU5 USING SELECTION-SET 'VAR1'

WITH SELECTION-TABLE IT_RSPARAMS1

VIA JOB 'ASSESSMENT1' NUMBER JOBNUMBER1

AND RETURN.

endloop.

call function job_close.

This way it will open one job with multiple steps.

Just tried what Srinivas has suggested and it WORKS!!!. Just need to call the function JOB_SUBMIT in the loop.

Thanks Srinivas ur suggestion solved my problem.

Thanks Kiran for your responses. they were helpful.
