Determining execution server of jobs in SAP
Determining execution server of jobs without target server in SAP
Usually, a background job without an execution goal can run on any background server of the system. The user cannot predict which server the system ultimately allots a job to.
However, experience has shown that it is sometimes very useful for the customer to restrict the amount of possible execution servers in this case as well.
The default server group can be used for these types of requirements.
Create a server group with the name ‘SAP_DEFAULT_BTC’ in transaction SM61 and assign the desired servers. As of now, the background jobs that do not have an execution goal are only executed on a (any) server that is included in the server group ‘SAP_DEFAULT_BTC’.
Note that the ‘SAP_DEFAULT_BTC’ server group is analyzed at the start time of a job, but not at the definition time. This applies in general to background processing server groups.
