Transaction SM37 (Simple Job Selection) is your gateway into seeing what jobs are running, when they are running or are scheduled to run, if a job failed or was cancelled, who scheduled the job and the parameters set for the job. In addition you can use the * wildcard to search for a job, user and ABAP program.
What did the Job do? | As you can see, two jobs were found. One job was run on 10/16 at 22:30 hours and has finished successfully and the other is released awaiting its start time. The job name here is fairly good in this example in giving you a clue that it is a Finance job for case creation, but you will not always have good job names and you'll need to dig into the job to find more specifics. In cases were a Spool file is created you can click the check-mark next to the job and click on the Spool icon. |
What parameters were used? | When you need to drill into the parameters and fields used for the batch job, you can do this by using the Step button within the Job Overview screen. Once again you will need to click on the check-box next to the job and then click on the Step button on the toolbar. |
