Creating, viewing, and editing SAP jobs

A job has two running modes, execute mode and write report mode. When a job is started in execute job mode, the job executes. If the job runs in write report mode, the job only generates a report and does not change any objects. The job also generates a log file containing job specific messages associated with job execution, such as error messages.

You must be logged in to Documentum Administrator with administrator privileges.
