Best Practices: Deleting SAP ABAP Jobs in CCMS

When creating an SAP Job you can specify what should happen to the job in the Automation Engine when the job has finishes in your SAP system. You do this on the SAP page of the job definition. The parameter is called Delete Job and the available options are:

• Do not delete job
• Always delete job in CCMS after completion (this is the default value).
• Only delete job from CCMS if no error occurred

If you leave the default option activated (Always delete job in CCMS after completion) means that as soon as the job is completed in your SAP system, it is deleted and you will not see it in the Process Monitoring perspective.

This is useful if you are dealing with jobs that are scheduled to run at very short intervals to avoid cluttering the list of activities in your SAP system. However, if that is not the case, you may want to have these tasks displayed; for this purpose, choose any of the other two options.
