Hi,

It can be if for example a background job is triggered by another program. SO a foreground report triggers an event and a job is scheduled on event so when the event is triggerd the background job runs. This is useful for example in user exits where a commit work is required but not permitted.

To debug you need to capture the job. This is not always possible but if it is a custom program one option is to put a wait statement in temporarily.

Hi

(SM37)

To debug an active job, choose Job -> Capture: active job". Only a single selection is allowed. If an active job seems to be running incorrectly (e.g., running for an excessively long time), you can interrupt and analyze it in debugging mode in a background process, and then either release it again or stop it altogether.

Note

You will be able to capture a background job only if you are logged on to the SAP server on which the job is running. To find server information in the Job Overview, select and mark the job, then choose Job ® Job details.

Or try like this

Step 1 : First put breakpoint in report..

Step 2: Goto transaction SM37

Step 3 : Select you job there

Step 4: Put JDBG in command field ( where we enter transaction - top left) and press enter.

Step 5: Now press F8 it will stop at break point which u created in report.

When report is executing in background, then you can debugg in SM50.

Just select the report name which is executing in background. Go to Menu Program/Session - > Debugging.

Hi,

In transaction SM50, you can choose the background process running this program and cleck the menu item Program/Mode --> Program --> Debugging...

If it is a Z-Program write an endless loop(at the start of the program) with an exit condition(which does not exit normally)...so that the background process will be stuck in this loop...Then choose debugging as mentioned...then change the exit condition correctly in debugging so that you are out of the endless loop...This is for making sure that the by the time you get to SM50 the execution is not over....
