Job templates not allowed in OnPremise systems

[ckraussdennree]

Dear André,

thanks for this nice description how to achieve batch runs within RAP. Currently, I'm trying to implement such a feature in a retail environment (S/4HANA 2021 FPS02; ABAP 756 02), but now I'm stuck on creation of the job templates. Since I have to transport the entries from DEV, QAS to PRD system I would like to maintain the templates via transaction SAPJ. Implementeng the setup class seems a bit to much for a single creation. At the moment this transaction does not allow the creation of new templates. I also found this note https://me.sap.com/notes/2829891/E explaining that job templates are not allowed to be created by customers.

Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Best regards,
Christian

Hi @ckraussdennree,
I think the note meant to say that one can only pragmatically create job templates for customers. Got this provided source code of André to work in a S/4HANA 2023 FPS00 system at least.
I was adjusting the provided coding of zapp_cl_demo_01_setup->constructor to skip the part

IF package_of_rap_generator->read( )-property-record_object_changes = abap_true.
transport_request = create_transport( ).
ELSE.
CLEAR transport_request.
ENDIF.
transport_request = create_transport( ).
...

and instead provide a workbench request as transport_request.

If you then run this console app zapp_cl_demo_01_setup, it does create the job template, job catalog as well as application log object. Also the fiori app then successfully allows to schedule a job based on this.

Kind regards,
Frank
