Background Processing - Introduction

The Background scheduler is a program, that is interpreted and

processed within a specified dialog process. The background
scheduler automatically selects the dialog process when the
R/3 system is started.

Background processing lets you move long-running or resourceintensive program runs to times when the system load is low
(e.g Reports , Programs).

SAP background processing automates routine tasks and helps

you optimize your organizations SAP computing resources.

You set the time at which the background job should start, At
specified intervals the background scheduler checks if there are
any background jobs to be processed.

Interactive users have the system during the day, large

background jobs have the system by night.

Background Processing - Introduction

Background jobs run in a special type of work process that is

different from dialog work processes in two ways:
1.

A dialog work process has a run-time limit that prevents

users from interactively running especially long reports ,No
such limit applies to background work processes.

2.

Background work processes allocate memory differently

than dialog work processes to allow processing large
volumes of data.

3.

Parameter to alter the no of Background Workprocess

rdisp/wp_no_btc=4

Background Processing - Architecture

The system offers a wide variety of scheduling options,including time

based,event-based, and calendar based scheduling. For managing jobs,
there are both graphical and list oriented monitors.

All job processing is logged in detail.

Background processing system supports parallel processing of jobs.

You can start any external program from a background job.

ABAP programs to schedule background jobs.

Event Triggered Background Processing

Background job can be started by triggering the job either at
Set time or an event.When R/3 system receives any events this
scheduler checks in background for particular job specified in
transport parameters.
< SID>/impdp_by_event = yes
< SID>/sapevtpath = /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run
The R/3 system is delivered with a set of events.
