Intercepted Jobs

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").

With XBP 3.0 the enhanced filter criteria including complex filters may be defined in one or multiple profiles using the “Criteria Manager” (Transaction SM62).

Notes:

• The Intercept function can be activated in the transaction "SE38" using the program INITXBP2.
• Open the Form view on the Process page 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 multiple ways of executing intercepted jobs:

1. Use the RemoteTaskManager to control and monitor intercepted jobs. For more information, see Defining Remote Task Manager Objects.
2. Use R3_ACTIVATE_INTERCEPTED_JOBS.
