DataStage ABAP job running in the background aborts due to time-out

Technote (troubleshooting)


Problem(Abstract)

DataStage ABAP job aborts with the following error:

Fatal: ABAP_E_00745`:`ABAP background job time-out occurred as defined using BG_JOB_TIMEOUT property.

Symptom

When we create a new job, it aborts in 10 minutes (600 sec) with the error:

ABAP background job time-out occurred as defined using BG_JOB_TIMEOUT property.

Is there any environment variable that needs to be set which defines this property? Existing jobs have the ABAP background time-out set to 100,000 seconds.


Resolving the problem

There is a new stage property, ABAP background job time-out limit (BG_JOB_TIMEOUT), that can be used to adjust the time-out value. To see the property you need to open the ABAP stage in Grid Style.  To do this right-click on the ABAP stage and select Grid Style.  Then select the Outputs > Properties tab and scroll all the way to the bottom to see ABAP background job time-out limit, which is the maximum time in seconds that an ABAP background job may remain the 'Released' state after being started.  The default value is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
