Trigger batch job via background event

1. Use transaction SM64 to create a background event. (also can start events in it)

 

2. We can use FM BP_EVENT_RAISE to create the event in runtime

CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE' "Trigger Background Event
  EXPORTING
    eventid =                            "
    eventid =                            " Identifier of the Event to be Triggered
*   eventparm = SPACE           " Optional Event Parameters
*   target_instance = SPACE    " msxxlist-name  Instance on Which the Event is Processed
  EXCEPTIONS
    BAD_EVENTID = 1                 " Invalid Event ID
    EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST = 2  "Unknown Event
    EVENTID_MISSING = 3                  "Event ID Missing
    RAISE_FAILED = 4                         "Error when Triggering the Event
    .

3. Set Start condition of Job to option "After event" and specify a background event defined in SM64.
