Hi All,

I need to schedule a job in the background(using SM36) . The report should run in the night from the last day of the month to the first day of the next month. What are the stepts to be followed in SM36 to achieve this?

Thanks ,

Vasuki

You can only schedule start time, not duration or end time (which are obviously not entirely predictable).

So I assume you want to start it periodically on the last day of the month. You'll have to schedule it to start on a 31st at the desired time for monthly execution, then it will run on each month end (also 28th or 30th, then switching back to 31st the following month).

Edit: you might also mean that it should run month end AND first of the month, then you need a second job to start monthly on the 1st
