- SM36

- Put in Job Name

- Click on Steps

- Put in the ABAP program name

- The variant for your program if you have a selection screen and want certain values on there

- Save

- Click on Start Condition

- Put in e.g. Start Date and Start Time and Click on Period Values

- Save

- Don't forget to Save on the Initial Screen as well (Define Background Job)

- this will create you background job

Hi,

In SM36 while creation of the job, we need to select the periodic job checkbox and in the other period tab specify the same 1day, 1 week, 1 month, 2hours. The job should run after every 2 hours. do remember to specify the Calendar id or select the check box : Run only on working days when you schedule the periodic job. Once the creation of job with correct variant and scheduling is done release the job in SM37 which would be in Ready state. The job would run successfully every 2hrs in a day.

Also for ex.

To restrict after 8PM we can specify the time 20:00:00 at the nostart after option below the scheduled start option in the Date/ Time tab where we select the periodic job check box. Also specify the details in restrictions.

Regards
