Chapter 15. The Background Processing of ABAP Programs

This chapter uncovers all the ins and outs of background data processing in Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP) that you can face and the approaches that you can use to handle them. This technique is mainly used for transferring data from non-SAP systems to SAP systems, or between SAP systems that have no direct link to each other. Additionally, it can be applied to the mass processing of data in any transaction. This chapter describes tools that are very important in everyday work. A lot of processes are based on background work and, for the most part, they are the foundation of a well-functioning enterprise.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Background processing in SAP
  • Recording batch input sessions
