Define Jobname of a BI request

Posted on Jan 18, 2005 at 10:58 AM 47 Views

Hello,

starting an Info Package in SAP BW creates a corresponding extraction job in the SAP R/3 system with

jobname "BIREQU_....". The request number of the info package is part of the jobname.

We are looking for a possibility to set the jobname by program, bapi or function module.

Any ideas? Thank you for your help.

Best regards

Lothar

    Hi,

    It is possible to change the job description using the BAPI_IPAK_START Infopackage scheduling BAPI. I have done this in the past where I use the infopackage BAPIs to automatically create and schedule the infopakages.. However, I seem to recall that the job names are always created with the prefix BIREQ.... followed by whatever description the BAPI import variable is supplied with......

      Hi,

      thanks for your reply.

      Unfortunately BAPI_IPAK_START changes only the job description in the SAP BW system, e.g. to "BI_BTCHHELLO".

      in the job log entries you will find

      "InfoPackage ZPAK_7AWVZOKWJJ26YAA2PR2IPCPVY created request REQU_7W85H06U9CGWE03OUC5R4L5HQ"

      and in the SAP R/3 System the extraction job

      "BIREQU_7W85H06U9CGWE03OUC5R4L5HQ".

      We need the following: if we start an InfoPackage, e.g. named "Hello xyz", that the corresponding extraction job in SAP R/3 has the job name "...hello xyz".
