JOB Status

[Former Member]

How would i know(writing ABAP code ) if a job that has been submitted is executed or still pending execution.

I have tried using FUNCTION 'BP_JOB_READ' by it does not seem to serve the purpose.

Have you tried BP_JOB_STATUS_GET yet?

This will return the status of the job.

<i>F1 help on the status field.

Short text

Status of background job

Definition

The following statuses are possible:

Scheduled: Job defined, but not yet eligible to run even if the start condition has been fulfilled.

Released: Job eligible to be started as soon as the start condition with which it was scheduled is fulfilled.

Ready: Job waiting to start. The job has been released and the job's start condition has been fulfilled.

Active: Job is currently running and can no longer be deleted or reset to scheduled.

Finished: Job has been successfully completed. All job steps completed successfully. Note: the background processing system cannot always determine whether an external job step was successfully completed. In this case, the system assumes successful completion.

Terminated: Job was ended abnormally either through user action or through an error in running a job step.</i>
