Releasing Jobs

Before a scheduled background job can start, it must be released. Only users with appropriate Authorizations for Background Processing can release jobs.

Procedures

To release a scheduled job:

1. In Transaction SM37 (CCMS ® Jobs ® Maintenance) select a job or jobs to release.
2. Once the jobs to be released are selected, choose Release or Goto ® Release.
3. Enter or change the start condition, if necessary, and choose Save. The job is now released.

To revoke released status:

To reschedule a job or prevent a released job from being started, revoke the Released status. Revoking a job’s released status resets the status to Planned and prevents the job from being started until after it has been released again.

1. In Transaction SM37 (CCMS ® Jobs ® Maintenance), select a job or jobs whose released status you want to revoke.
2. Choose Jobs ® Release -> planned. The job's status has now reverted to Planned.
