1.3.1 Creating a background job
To create a job, use the jr3bjsub command. An ABAP program or an external program can be created as a job in the SAP system. When the job is created, it is placed in the scheduled state.
When the job is created, the following variants can be specified as the job step information:
-
Variant
A variant is a set of input values to a program and it is stored in the SAP system before the job is created.
-
Temporary variant
A temporary variant is a type of variant that is generated dynamically when the job is created.
You can also pre-check the variants for a specific program by using the jr3bjrep command. The variants are stored in the SAP system.
You can use the jr3bjdel command to delete scheduled jobs.
