Mapping between IBM Workload Scheduler and SAP job states
When an SAP job
is launched by IBM Workload Scheduler,
you can monitor its progress. The status transitions in IBM Workload Scheduler (internal
status) and the corresponding SAP status
are listed in Table 1.
| IBM Workload Scheduler Job State | SAP Job State |
|---|---|
| INTRO | Not Available |
| WAIT | Ready, Release |
| EXEC | Active |
| SUCC | Finished |
| ABEND | Canceled |
The INTRO state indicates that IBM Workload Scheduler is in the process of introducing the job, but in SAP, the job has not yet entered the ready state. Because it takes some time to get a job queued and into the ready column, the INTRO state might last a few minutes if the SAP system is particularly busy.
Even if a job is finished in SAP, IBM Workload Scheduler keeps it in the EXEC state if its BDC sessions are not complete and you have not selected the Disable BDC Wait option. For details about this option, see Using the BDC Wait option.
