Step 2. Enabling and configuring the job interception feature

As a prerequisite, the job throttler requires that the job interception feature is enabled in the SAP system. To enable and configure job interception, follow these steps.

1. Enable job interception, either automatically or manually, as follows:

   Automatic activation (meaning that the job throttler enables the job interception on SAP system)

   In the options file of the workstation with the r3batch access method you are using, set throttling_enable_job_interception=on (this is the default).

   Manual activation

   1. In the SAP system, run the INITXBP2 ABAP program in the transaction se38 and enable job interception.
   2. In the options file of the workstation with the r3batch access method you are using, set throttling_enable_job_interception=off.

   Note: When you stop the job throttler, the setting for the job interception feature that was previously configured on the SAP system is restored.
2. In the SAP system, configure the job interception criteria as follows:
   1. Launch the transaction se16 to access the table TBCICPT1, where the interception settings are maintained.
   2. Set the job name, creator, and client related to the jobs you want to intercept. To intercept all SAP jobs, specify the wildcard * (asterisk) for the job name, creator, and client.
   3. Save your settings and close the dialog.
