Testing the Automation Engine Interface with ABAP Workbench

	1.	Starting the development environment and opening the function modules

Start the development environment (ABAP/4 Workbench) and open the function modules to the function group /SBB/UC4_JOB with the object browser:

Tools > ABAP/4 Workbench >Overview > Object Navigator, select Function Group /SBB/UC4_JOB, select Function Modules, position the cursor on the object and click Test in the context menu.

The name of the function modules always has the prefix AE.

	2.	Testing the function module UC4_JOB_OPEN

Parameters that must be specified:

JOB NAME - Any name (such as TEST).
JOBCLASS - A, B or C

The parameter JOBCOUNT is supplied. This value must be noted or copied to the clipboard.

	3.	Testing the function module UC4_JOB_SUBMIT

Parameters that must be specified:

JOBCOUNT - Enter the value or import from the clipboard.
JOBNAME - As with function module UC4_JOB_OPEN,
REPORT_ID - 'RSM04000' or 'RSM04000_ALV'.

Make sure after the execution that no exception has occurred. Although parameters are supplied, they are not necessarily required for testing.

	4.	Testing the function module UC4_JOB_CLOSE

Parameter to be specified:

JOBCOUNT - enter value or import from the clipboard,
JOBNAME - as with function module UC4_JOB_OPEN.

After the execution, verify that no exception has occurred.

The job has now been started and can be displayed by using a standard transaction SM37 (System >Services > Jobs > Job Overview). When the job has ended okay, this indicates that the function modules within the SAP system work properly.
