2.2.8 Enabling the XBP 2.0 interface (to use some functions)

By using XBP interface version 2.0, which is an external management interface provided by SAP (XBP 2.0 interface), you can use the following functions:

To use these functions, you need to enable the XBP 2.0 interface.

In addition, if you want to monitor the completion of parent and child jobs, you need to enable the parent and child function in the connection destination R/3 system before you execute the target job.

The following sections describe how to enable the XBP 2.0 interface and the parent and child function.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Enabling the XBP 2.0 interface

Check whether the XBP 2.0 interface is installed in the connection destination R/3 system and whether you can log on to the XBP 2.0 interface.

If the XBP 2.0 interface is not installed in the connection destination R/3 system, use the appropriate support package for your R/3 to install the XBP 2.0 interface.

To check whether the XBP 2.0 interface is installed in the connection destination R/3 system, use transaction SE38 of the connection destination R/3 system to check whether INITXBP2 (an ABAP program) exists. If INITXBP2 exists, the XBP 2.0 interface is installed.

For details about the XBP 2.0 interface, see SAP Note 604496.

(2) Enabling the parent and child function

To monitor the completion of parent and child jobs, you need to enable the parent and child function in the connection destination R/3 system before you execute the jobs.

To enable the parent and child function, enable the XBP 2.0 interface and then use the INITXBP2 ABAP program to turn on the parent and child function.

To turn on the parent and child function:

  1. Use the SAP front-end software to start the ABAP editor (transaction SE38).

  2. In the startup window of the ABAP editor, enter INITXBP2 for Program.

  3. From the Program menu, choose Execute.

    The INITXBP2 program starts and the current settings are shown.

  4. In Change Settings in Parent-Child Function, select Switch On.

  5. From the Program menu, choose Execute.

    The parent and child function is now enabled.
