Filter criteria can be defined in the table TBCICPT1 of SAP jobs. These criteria include the specification of a client, job name and user. If a user indicated in this table starts a job which meets the specified filter criteria, the job status changes to "Scheduled" regardless of the defined start mode (e.g. "Immediately").
The Intercept function can be activated in the transaction "SE38" using the program INITXBP2.
Click the 
symbol in the "Form"
tab of SAP jobs to access the table and maintain its entries (XBP 2.0)or use the Criteria Manager (XBP 3.0).
Table entries can also be changed dynamically using the script element R3_MODIFY_INTERCEPTION.
There are two ways of executing intercepted jobs:
- Use the RemoteTaskManager to control and monitor intercepted jobs
- Use R3_ACTIVATE_INTERCEPTED_JOBS
- Use R3_GET_INTERCEPTION to read the table. The result is stored to a file which can be accessed with PREP_PROCESS_FILE.
You can specify the maximum number of jobs which can run parallel when you start intercepted jobs individually with a group being indicated as start type.
