Question:
Hello,
if we crate an Infopackage (BW 3.0B) and start in not inmediatelybut later
in batch a CCMS-Batch Job is created and this Batch Jobs starts
the Program: RSBATCH1 with a variant &000000000345.
What does that & mean? If we look at the Program with SE38
we find that this Program has NO variants. How is this &000000000345
created. Is there a ceratin table to look at or is that &0000000345
Variant only created when starting the Program RSBATCH1 as
a Batch Job? Can anyone please help?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Markus
Answer:
You do not seem to have stated any problem.
The update jobs run w/o any variants. Even if you go to se38 (37?) and cerate a job for RSBATCH1, it will tell you that there are no (selection screens) variants for the job. So if your batch job is running ok then there is no cause for concern, else you may try posting your question in the ABAPers' forum, unless some BW-ABAPer answers you here

Answer:
When running a report in background SAP requires a variant... if you were to schedule a job in R/3 to run a certain ABAP/4 program you HAVE TO enter a variant otherwise you can't schedule it.
Now in BW when you schedule a load the system actually uses the same "scheduler" so it requires a variant... therefor your selection conditions are "temporarily" saved as a variant (hence the "&" sign followed by a number).

Answer:
Any idea what to do when the scheduled infopackage returns with the error message that the variant &000... does not exist?
