Background jobs still delaying while there are free BGD work processes

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In SM37, I saw there is 4 jobs being delayed upto 273,489 seconds, and they are still in released status, the Delay is still increasing. However, in my system there are many BGD work processes are available.

The delaying background jobs having the Job Class: A.

Do you guys know why will this happened ?

Check the following.

1. Check the execution server has the correct hostname?

2. Check if you have set any "no start after" settings and the data and time has the entry in the past.

3. Check SM61 and see if you have set any backgound job groups and it doesn't have the current hostnames?

4. Check the Global filesystem(/sapmnt/<SID>/global is not full?

Let us know what you find and whether its resolved.
