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 (example: 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 Defining Remote Task Manager Objects to control and monitor intercepted jobs.
  2. Use R3_ACTIVATE_INTERCEPTED_JOBS.
