Displaying Jobs Status and Logs without using SM37

[Former Member]

Hello All,

First of all, thanks a lot for your time.

We're being asked by the Audit Team to remove tcode SM37 from our Job Roles. Although I agree with them that users should not have "change" or broad display access for the tcode, some of them need to check other user's Jobs status, as well as their Job Logs (which I have managed to restrict using auth. object S_BTCH_JOB).

My question is: do you know if there's any alternative way or a transaction different than SM37 to display other user's Jobs status and Job Logs?

We're providing SMX for user's own jobs, but I have not been able to find an alternative way than using a restricted version of SM37 for displaying other people's Jobs status and Job Logs.

Best regards,

Hi All,

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, SOLMAN is not used in the company and no table display functionality is being provided to End Users...

You can either create your own monitor locally ( see transaction RZ20) or develop it on your own (see FM BP_JOB_STATUS_GET).

If you want to use SM37 then you can add SHOW to S_BTCH_JOB but this might be problematic in combination with RELE (of their own jobs).

[SAP Note 568963|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/568963] will be able to help you further.

Hi,

Even if users have access to S_BTCH_JOB with RELE they won't be able to release other people's job until unless they have access to S_BTCH_ADM... So this should not be a issue. However having DELE access to S_BTCH_JOB will give access to delete other people's job. So it should be avoided.

Still if due to audit issue only SM37 get picked up the you can use transaction like SM37B.. But out put and control is same as SM37.
