Job not yet started in SAP. Current status: SCHEDULED

Hi Sandra,

SAP Job Status: Scheduled:

This means that the steps that are required to make up the job are already completed but the start condition is not yet specified.

Have you checked in your SAP system (TX: SM37) how the start condition looks like?

Normally the job should be scheduled with Start Condition = Date + Time from exact the time where you started the extraction in Data Integration UI but maybe something is wrong here.

If not I would go to your SAP Basis team and ask why your scheduled job is not getting started automatically. They should be able to verify why the job stays in status: Scheduled.

Hi Dennis,

Is there any additional configuration to do? Case yes, where do I can configure and what?

Hi Dennis,

This error happens even when running manually.

Is there any test we can do to validate that the data extraction is working correctly?

Hi,

in my opinion there is no special configuration on Celonis EMS site.

In case the job is getting scheduled in SAP (TX: SM37) from EMS site everything should be fine.

At the end it should look like this:

Start Condition:

Step List Overview:Job Details: Here you can see that the job got directly released after it was scheduled. And this is the step that seems to not work on your site. Maybe you technical user do not have the authorizations to release jobs in your SAP system?

Please check that your technical user has sufficient authorizations on your SAP system.

In order to release jobs the user need Auth. Object: S_BTCH_JOB - JOBACTION = RELE - JOBGROUP = *

Copied out of SAP help text:

The authorization object S_BTCH_JOB consists of the authorization fields JOBACTION and JOBGROUP. JOBGROUP must always have the value '*'. For JOBACTION, you can assign the values:

                PLAN, DELE, LIST, RELE, SHOW, PROT, MODI,

Each of these permits the user to perform different operations on jobs.

A user WITHOUT ANY specific authorization for jobs may perform the following actions:

• Schedule jobs for which the job class is C and cannot be changed.
• View and change steps of his or her own jobs.
• Delete his or her own jobs.
• View the job details of his or her own jobs.

If a user has an authorization for the object S_BTCH_ADM, he or she has full authorization for all jobs of all users.

Defined fields

• JOBACTION can have the following values:
• DELE: Delete other users' background jobs.
• LIST: Not used
• PLAN: Copy or repeat other users' jobs
• PROT: (No check)
• RELE: Release jobs (including your own)
• SHOW: Display definitions of other users' jobs
• MODI: Modify other users' jobs.
• (See SAP Note 1623250).
• JOBGROUP:
• Set to *
