Two Background Job Running for the same program at the same time with different client

[former_member1370808]

Hello SAP gurus,

I have a program set for background job

- at two different client on the same server

- with the same program

- at the same scheduled time.

(The one without the spool, the yellow scroll, shows that the job was locked)

(This job was held first and therefore successfully ran)

I believed that background job was client dependent therefore, having two programs running at different client at the same time would not cause a lock-object for one another. yet here it is, the result clearly shows that it does.

I can simply change the schedule time for one of the clients which would solve the problem, However, I'm simply curious if background job is program-dependent or client-dependent.

I really appreciate your help in advance.

But what is the object locked by the program ? could be not client dependant

frdric.girod I'm not exactly sure how to check what program locked. So It can't be client dependent, meaning that same program running at different client at the same time wouldn't cause this?
