Hi Balaji.

The next job which is supposed to run should have the settings in SM36 -> Define job.

i.e. : it should be stated there that this job should run after "JOB1" has finished.

Also check the status-dependent flag.

Now, in code, you have to pass values of PRED_JOBCOUNT, PRED_JOBNAME, and PREDJOB_CHECKSTAT.

Hope it solves.

Regards.

Hi samant ,

Thank you for your quick response. infact , earlier itself, we tried with this one ,it is not working .

say some clear suggestion, with some example

Please execute with 2 jobs using function modules

we are not using SM36, SM37. We want to use Function modules.

Thank you lot.

if you are creating your jobs via SM36, you should be able to to create the second job using 'After Job' option with the 'Start Status Dependent' checkbox switched on. This way the second job will not start unless the first job finishes successfully.

Hope this helps ...

Hi,

you can check state of your job with table

If I understood you correctly, you don't want to run the next job if the previous one failed. If that is the case, why can't you define one job and have multiple steps? The logic is as follows:

Create the job using JOB_OPEN.

Create the steps one after the other using JOB_SUBMIT.

After all the steps are inserted, close the job using JOB_CLOSE.

If this is not an option, and you want to create multiple jobs and want to wait until the first one is successfully completed, then you need to create a wait logic in your program, to wait until the job status of the first job is complete or aborted or cancelled. You can get the status of the job using BP_JOB_CHECKSTATE.

srinivas,

Thank you for your advice .

how much time it will be in the loop with wait statement. suppose ,if it is happens so, system will hang after certain time in back ground(i think so).

please suggest .

That is the problem you will face if you are creating both the jobs from within the program separately, and you want to wait to start the second job until the first job finishes correctly.

As I mentioned, you can just create one job with multiple steps, then your program need not wait, but the second job step will wait until the first job step is completed successfully.

You need not code for wait logic in your program. Suppose you have JOB1 & JOB2 . Define JOB1 using the three Function modules JOB_OPEN .. JOB_SUBMIT.. JOB_CLOSE. For JOB2 pass predecessor job as JOB1 in the parameter PRED_JOBNAME and also pass an "X" in the parameter PREDJOB_CHECKSTAT in the function JOB_CLOSE.

Your JOB2 will only start after JOB1 has succesfully completed . The will be taken care by background job processing daemon .

Cheers

Hi Balaji,

you might want to check out the new Job Scheduling capabilities of SAP NetWeaver. You can find more information about this on SAP Service Marketplace under quick-link job-scheduling (http://service.sap.com/job-scheduling).

Kind regards,
