Restarting a job in SAP depends on the type of job you want to restart. Here are some common scenarios:
1. Restarting a Background Job
To restart a background job in SAP, you need to access the SM36 transaction code. This transaction allows you to manage and control background jobs. Follow these steps:
- Open the SM36 transaction.
- Locate the job you want to restart. You can search by job name, user ID, or other criteria.
- Select the job and choose "Restart" from the menu.
- Confirm the restart action.
2. Restarting a Batch Input Session
A batch input session allows you to execute a series of transactions automatically. To restart a batch input session, follow these steps:
- Open the SM35 transaction.
- Locate the batch input session you want to restart.
- Select the session and choose "Restart" from the menu.
- Confirm the restart action.
3. Restarting a Workflow
Workflows are automated processes that can be restarted based on specific conditions. To restart a workflow, you need to access the SWFVISU transaction code.
- Open the SWFVISU transaction.
- Locate the workflow you want to restart.
- Select the workflow and choose "Restart" from the menu.
- Confirm the restart action.
4. Restarting a Report
Reports in SAP can be executed in the background or interactively. To restart a report, you can use the SE38 transaction code.
- Open the SE38 transaction.
- Enter the report name and execute the report.
- If the report is interrupted, you can restart it from the same point where it stopped.
Remember that the specific steps for restarting a job may vary depending on the version of SAP you are using. Always consult the SAP documentation or a qualified SAP consultant for specific instructions.
