transfer Job Schedule from DEV server to PRD server

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am an ABAP trainee, fresh out of college, embarking on an exciting career in SAP.

I'm very happy to be in the forums.

My scenario is this:

I'm able to schedule a job using the Job Wizard in SM36 to run a certain report. Supposedly the report should run automatically every January and July, but for testing purposes I want the report to run 5 minutes later. The job successfully gets "Released" then "Scheduled" then "Finished" in the Own Jobs section.

My question is: In SM36, if i schedule a job in the DEVELOPMENT server will it also apply to the PRODUCTION server of the client? When the system is turned-over to the users? Are job schedules supposed to be "transported" like the way it is with normal ABAP programs? How do I make sure my job schedule in the development server runs on the actual client machines when its implemented there?

Thank you in advance !

HI Mozart,

Job schedule activity will work in same client and not in production or any other client.

You can test your job schedule.

Hope you doubt is get cleared.

Q) My question is: In SM36, if i schedule a job in the DEVELOPMENT server will it also apply to the PRODUCTION server of the

client?

Ans: No, job is an client dependent. If job is created in 100 client it will be get executed only in that client eventhough many clients are configured on the same server..

Q) When the system is turned-over to the users? Are job schedules supposed to be "transported" like the way it is with normal ABAP programs?

Ans: No, jobs are not transportable.

Q)How do I make sure my job schedule in the development server runs on the actual client machines when its implemented there?

Ans: Go to SM37 in the production system and check if there is any job running with the program created by you or not. If no job is available please create a one to meet your requirement.

ok, will forward this to the functional consultants, as they are the ones with direct contact with the client. thanks
