Universal Connector
for Use with SAP® ERP supports the submission, starting, and monitoring of mass activities on the SAP system.
...
For more information on submitting and starting jobs with Universal Connector, see the
SUBMIT, START, and RUN commands.
Both
FKJO_SCHEDULE and
RFKK_MA_SCHEDULER can be used to initiate mass activities. Each program has a different approach (and different requirements) for preparing a mass activity on the SAP system. The decision of which one to use must be made by understanding the capabilities and requirements of each program and matching those to the requirements of the situation.

SUBMIT VARIANT and
MODIFY VARIANT commands.
Monitoring Mass Activities
Regardless of which program is used to initiate a mass activity, Universal Connector follows the same procedure for monitoring the process to completion. The MASS_ACTIVITY_WAIT command is used to instruct Universal Connector that it should perform this monitoring function (see the
MASS_ACTIVITY_WAIT option.
Specifying the
MASS_ACTIVITY_WAIT option will cause Universal Connector to monitor the status of the submitted / started job. In addition, as the jobs that make up the mass activity are created on the SAP system, Universal Connector detects them as child jobs of the initiator job and will begin to monitor their status as well. Universal Connector will continue to monitor the status of parent and child jobs until all jobs have completed.
Upon detecting the completion of a job, Universal Connector will optionally return the following information:
In addition, Universal Connector will record the application return codes (if they are set) and merge them into its exit code mapping process that takes place upon program completion. Universal Connector will exit with the highest value used in the exit code processing.

SUBMIT, START, RUN, and WAIT commands.
The information that controls how
RFKK_MASS_ACT_PARAMETER will adjust the mass activity parameter set is contained in a variant that resides on the SAP system. In many cases, it may be necessary to create or modify the contents of a variant with information that pertains to a specific mass activity. In this case, Universal Connector can be used to create or modify the variants as needed.

SUBMIT VARIANT and
MODIFY VARIANT commands.
