When you are doing upgrade for SAP system, you need to cancel/suspend jobs that are in released status in the transaction SM37. But, you realized that there are too many released jobs that need to be manually delete before an upgrade and to then manually schedule back after the upgrade
Suspend released jobs before the upgrade
By using transaction SE38 to call report BTCTRNS1 before starting the upgrade, jobs that have already been released are ‘Suspend for upgrade’.
• The status of all released jobs is set to a non-standard status. That is, to a status other than planned, released, active, finished or cancelled.
Re-releasing the jobs after the upgrade
To do this, call the BTCTRNS2 report after the upgrade is completed successfully, also by using transaction SE38.
• The jobs that BTCTRNS1 set with a special status are then restored to their original status (released).
• All jobs suppressed before the upgrade with BTCTRNS1 are then displayed as ‘Released’ in the job overview (transaction SM37). This also affects RDDIMPDP jobs. There should not be more than one RDDIMPDP running in any client.
