Kill delayed work processses automatically

Kill delayed work processses automatically through batch

Generally we use TCode SM50 to view running processes and delete the long running processes manually. This is an attempt to make this manual process into automated process.

SAP has given a function module ‘TH_SERVER_LIST’ which gives all the details of the SAP Application Servers on the network.

SAP has given a function module  ‘TH_SYSTEMWIDE_WPINFO’ which gives all the details of work processes on given SAP Application Server.

We can filter the details by which type of work processes shall be stopped based on the time it has taken.

We have to take those process identifications (PID) and SAP Application Server and call the function ‘ThWpInfo’ to stop the process permanently.

This report could be scheduled so that it runs on its own and stop the long running processes automatically.

It is to be noted that this Program uses unreleased function modules and kernel calls, and so is to be used at your own risk.

Complete source is as follows:

I do hope it helps.

I thank Mr. Matthew Billingham for his valuable suggestions and guidance.
