SAP BASIS Background Processing in Overview

Background Processing in Overview
Here’s a brief overview of how background processing works in the R/3 System. This diagram shows the components that are involved in processing various types of R/3 background jobs.

1. Job scheduling: Before the background processing system can do anything, background jobs have to be scheduled. This can occur in transaction SM36 (job scheduling), in the ABAP editor (transactions SA38 and SE38, the "start program in the background" execution option), or through the programming interface or external interface of the background processing system. Many R/3 applications use the internal programming interface to schedule long-running reports for background processing.
2. Job storage management: Jobs are stored in the R/3 database. Principal tables in the background processing system include the following:

- TBTCO: The job header table (job management data)
- TBTCP: The job step table (individual processing steps in jobs)
- TBTCS: The control table for the time-driven job scheduler
- BTCEVTJOB: Jobs scheduled to wait for an event

SAP Glossary

ABAP Advanced Business Application Programming. Programming language of the R/3 System.

ABAP Dictionary

Central storage facility containing metadata (data about data) for all objects in the R/3 System. The ABAP Dictionary describes the logical structure of application development objects and their representation in the structures of the underlying relational database. All runtime environment components such as application programs or the database interface get information about these objects from the ABAP Dictionary. The ABAP Dictionary is an active data dictionary and is fully integrated into the ABAP Workbench.

ABAP Editor

ABAP Workbench tool for developing and maintaining ABAP programs, function modules, screen flow logic, type groups, and logical databases. Besides normal text operations (such as insert, search, and replace), the ABAP Editor offers several special functions to support program development.
