Scheduling of Background Jobs

APO 4.1 offers two tools to improve planning with background jobs.These tools are the automatic parallelisation and the scheduling workbenchfor complex background job chains. With APO 4.1 these tools are onlyavailable for DP and SNP applications.

• ParallelisationWith the transaction /SAPAPO/SDP_PAR it is possible to define a paralleli-sation profile for the applications

• DP background processing• Copy planning version (time series copy with the transaction

/SAPAPO/TSCOPY)• SNP heuristic• initialise planning area• load planning area (from an info cube with the transaction TSCUBE)• proportional factor calculation and• SNP optimisation

as shown in figure 1.

Fig. 1. Parallelisation Profile

In the parallelisation profile the number of parallel processes is defined.Note that one process is required to control the processing (packaging,synchronising), i.e. out of N parallel processes, N-1 processes actually do

480 Scheduling of Background Jobs

process the functions. Therefore the minimum number of processes isthree.

Scheduling Workbench for Complex Background Jobs ChainsThe scheduling workbench for complex background job chains (transac-tion RSPC) allows scheduling complex process chains with dependenciesbetween the individual background jobs. The dependencies are maintained

• as conditions for the subsequent step based on the result of the previ-ous step (i.e. whether it has been carried out successfully, with errorsor always) and

• as conditions between steps, e.g. to start with a job only if all previ-ous jobs have been finished

as shown in figure 2 for a distribution and production planning example.

Condition for SubsequentStep based on the Result ofthe Previous Step

Condition Between Steps

Fig. 2. Process Chain

The maintenance of the process chain requires program variants as withthe standard background job scheduling (transaction SM36), but is limitedto a set of reports. Figure 3 shows the maintenance of the process chain.
