Introduction to Job Processing in SAP Demand Management
Jobs can be submitted in SAP Demand Management 6.4 by two means: Through SAP DM Web Application and Through Command Line. Though submitting the jobs through the Web Application is far more convenient, it is still good to know how to submit the jobs from command line, if required.
Submitting Jobs to Job Process Server via DM Web Application
Login to SAP DM Web Application using the browser. URL for SAP DM application is: http://<netweaver_host>:<j2ee_port>/applet/index.html
Enter Username/password for SAP DM Login. The SAP Demand Management Web Application starts up:
Click on the Processing link on the left hand panel.
Under the tab: Servers, the system should list all the Process Servers and their status should say ‘Started’:
This ensures that the Processing Server is connected.
Submit a Test Job as follows:
Under the tab: Operations, select Activity --> Regular, Group --> JPS System Test Group and Process --> JPS System Test Process.
Under Market Hierarchy Selection tab, check the option: Enterprise and click on Submit.
The test job is now submitted and under Filtered Processes tab, it is listed with status Released. After a few moments, the status should change to Completed:
Submitting Jobs to Job Process Server via command line
Connect to a middle tier machine in the environment using an SSH type tool like Putty. Middle tier machine here means the machine on which your Job Process Server is running.
Once connected, navigate to the directory: /<DM-NFS-Mount-Directory>/<DBSID>/java. In some cases, this may have been installed as /<DM-NFS-Mount-Directory>/<DBSID>/<DBSID>/java.
The script available for submitting the jobs is jpssubmit.sh in the above directory and along with the following flags:-groupkey --> JPS Group Key for job to run; required
a. -processkey --> JPS Process Key for job to run; required
b. -hokey --> Hierarchy Object Key (node key); required
c. -eventkey --> Event Key; default is 0; optional
d. -userkey --> Initiator's user key; default is -1; optional
e. -parms --> Parm Value pairs <name>=<value>; MUST BE LAST FLAG!; optional
f. -queue --> Fully qualified JPS queue name to which route the job; optional
g. -help --> Displays the usage information; optional
h. -file --> File where multiple lines of commands may be located (optional and should be only arg when used)
Type the command ./jpssubmit.sh along with flag entries to run one job via command line.
For example, the Test Job submitted in first section using Web Application can also be submitted using command line using the following flags:
Below is an example to run multiple jobs using command line:
./jpssubmit.sh –file joblist.txt
The file joblist.txt contains:
-groupkey 95 -processkey 160 -hokey 32373
-groupkey 95 -processkey 160 -hokey 32374
The status os this job can also be seen from the SAP DM Web Application.
