Question:
Guys, If i was to create a batch job/role how would I do this ? We have processes within SAP that should be done by the system ( no human interaction, almost like a recurrsive process) Any help ?
Thanks
Answer:
Are you refering to Batch Admin Role?
You need SM36, SM37. S_PROGRAM all access (unless there are reports you do not what them to schedule) and S_BTCH_ADM ( no one but basis should have this) and some spool access
Answer:
If you are creating a batch user that will actually process the background job then you can assign its' roles quite broadly (yes SAP_ALL isn't that awful). But you must make sure that you haven't assigned a lot of other users S_BTCH_NAM with your batch user's id or they will be able to schedule jobs in the name of the batch user that can do way more than you may want them to do. Only the batch administrator (i/e the job scheduler) should have access to S_BTCH_NAM (of course there are a million exceptions. But they are beyond the scope of forum replies.)
