XI Scheduling capability

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I'm trying to find if XI (2.0 / 3.0) has scheduling capabilities like for example CA Unicenter. Is it possible to say go & retrieve this file from server xyz every night at 10:00pm.

Would also appreciate if you could send me any document on the subject.

Thanx & Regards,

Homiar.

Hi Homiar,

In XI 3.0, there is a Time-Control Message processing where you can schedule the sending of IDoc messages; You can read more about at help.sap.com under the Runtime topic of XI.

If the SAP Exchange Infrastructure time-controlled message processing functions are not sufficient, you can use the more extensive job scheduling options provided by the SAP Web Application Server.

In this case you have to use the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38) and program SXMS_START_JOBS to schedule a job whose name corresponds to the job ID.

Enjoy!
