Question:
Hi all, pardon me for my ignorance...I'd like to confirm if background jobs can be transported from different box, QA -> PRD? From what I know ist not possible but I might miss something.
Thanks!
Answer:
Hi,
You cannot. (at least in releases up to 4.6)
Answer:
I do this in one of my dev systems then transport to all other systems.
1 First craete variants to all stndard jobs that you want and save these variants in a transport.
2. Delete all entries in REORGJOBS
3. Add your jobs manually and add to the same transpotr as 1.
3. Transport and import into all clients in new system.
4. Log onto golden client as batch user after changing temporarily to dialog) and go to SM36 and just hit the schedule button and viola!.
5. Go to SM37 and change the scheduling time of each job as required.
6. I then go into each client and schedule the client dependant jobs with the same batch user using SM36 and change scheduling tmie in SM37.
Sounds like a lot of work but it is a doddle compared to the alternatives.

I'm refering to the "adding to the same transport as 1"
Thanks again.
Answer:
Add the entry R3TR TABU REORGJOBS manually with a key of *
Your transport should look something like the following
....
LIMU VARX .......
LIMU VARX RSUSR300STANDARD
LIMU VARX RSWTTR02STANDARD
R3TR TABU REORGJOBS
I think many people will be interested in this little tip I hacked. Its through a deep sad interest in batch job architecture that I have.

Answer:
Whoops I think you may also want to know how to modify REORGJOBS.
1. For ABAP'ers its and easy interface - single table.
2. For SQL'ers once again its a pretty easy update.
3. For lazy people like myself I hack it as follows.
a. SE16, type REORGJOBS and press enter then execute.
b. You should now have the list of jobs up.
c. Hit the glasses to display one
d. type /h in the OK code field (command line) and press enter twice
e. on the next screen (debug) double click on the word code so it copies down to the Field Names.
f. Change the option to DELE and click the pencil at the end of the line once.
g. Click the fourth Arrow button (the down arrow continue) or press F8.
h. Now you can delete each record (save one for the next bit)
Once all records are deleted you can repeat A-G but instead of option DELE use INSR.
Once you have added all jobs just delete the last record you did not delete in the first step
### Just a note that these debug hacks create entries in SM21 for the rest of the Basis team to see###
