Monitor background job status centrally using SOLMAN...without an external scheduling tool

Monitor background job status centrally using SOLMAN. No external scheduling tool required

Open  Solution Manager, You call the Work Center via transaction SOLMAN_WORKCENTER (before proceeding check the role  SMWORK  assigned to your user id). You can then click on the Job Monitoring view and then click on the sub-view SAP Job Scheduler (BC-XBP). Here you can find some default queries shipped by SAP. As a next step you can click on the upper right-hand corner or Define New Query

In our use case you select the system/client combinations that you want to monitor and which are connected with the above mentioned TRUSTED RFC connections. Then you select the job status of interest, i.e. Canceled in our case. In order to read not too much data you should restrict the time frame of collection. Actually you can work with calculated, dynamic date selections.

Of course you can select more than one system/client combination at a time.

In our example we have chosen all canceled jobs within the last 30 days. If you have many job executions per day and reorganize your job data within a week you should select a more meaningful time frame, e.g. only the last 1 or 2 days.

After you defined your query you can apply the settings and the corresponding result list will show all the relevant jobs (e.g. all canceled jobs) from different systems in just one central view.
