It is possible to configure as many background processes as required based on available resources.

Background processes are dedicated to background job (user request) and remains with task until it
is finished or cancelled.

The background jobs could not be timed out by any runtime parameter, and it can run hours/days to
complete the job.

Mechanism:

User submit the requests to run a program in the background mode.

The request is handled by dispatcher and it is allocated freely available dialog work process to the
user request.

The dialog work process receives the request from user request and it is updated the background job
in TBTC Batches table (TBTCT,TBTCP,TBTCS).

A background scheduler SAPMSSY8 (Which is a cyclic ABAP program) runs for every 60 Seconds in
dialog mode to picks the jobs with status “READY” from BTC tables.

The scheduler time is defined by the parameter rdisp/btctime=60


Freely available background work process is allocated to the BTC jobs and the jobs is active until it is
finished/cancelled.
