Hi,

Just check the Application Server details of the Background job in the Job Details through SM36. May be the servers might be different. Please check whether whether the Forground server name and Background job server name are same. You can get the Sever details from SM51 transaction for the login system.

Like Srinivas says, check on what server (if you have multiple application servers) your job is running.

If the directory is on a specific server, you can force your job to run on that server when you define it in SM36.

Check and comapre the authorization for AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_CTS_ADMI' ID 'CTS_ADMFCT'

User should have authority to this.

The function EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING that you mention carries out an auth check. If you forward-navigate to where the checks are carried out, you will see that objects S_TRANSPRT and S_SYS_RWBO are checked depending on various conditions.

You need to either adjust the authorizations (or your security team) or you can replace function EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING with a call to an external OS command (defined in SM49) to call either ls (on UNIX) or dir (on Windows).
