How to move BI_WRITE_PROT_TO_APPLLOG to an external job scheduler.

260 Views

A job named BI_WRITE_PROT_TO_APPLLOG was created by the system after I opened the RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench: Modeling) for the first time. The job is scheduled to run every 5 minutes and executes the ABAP program RSBATCH_WRITE_PROT_TO_APPLLOG with the parameter (variant) &0000000000000.

Another job the system created with the variant &0000000000000 is SAP_EVENT_HISTORY_REORG which runs the ABAP program RSEVTHISTREORG.

I am considering moving this job to an external job scheduler. I am able to import it into the external job scheduler, but question the variant &0000000000000 because when I prompt for the available variants on the ABAP program RSBATCH_WRITE_PROT_TO_APPLLOG, none are listed.

I am able to save the job definition on the external job scheduler with the variant &0000000000000.

Note: When the external job scheduler runs an SAP job, it creates it on the SAP system and then starts it (normally ASAP).

Question 1: If I schedule the job to run via the external job scheduler, is the variant &0000000000000 required?

Question 2: Is this type of job better left on the SAP system and not moved to an external scheduler?
