Report RSBTCDEL2 to delete old jobs

The job SAP_REORG_JOBS is a standard job which runs a report RSBTCDEL2 to delete old, canceled, inconsistent, non-deleted jobs from the system. But the SAP systems older than release 4.7 used RSBTCDEL report to delete the old jobs. But in those systems, after upgrade it may not run and create a dumpTSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED as the old jobs get accumulated and cause memory problem.

Solution: So in those systems we need to schedule a job with report RSBTCDEL2 and variant which specifies the time range after which the jobs need to get deleted from the system. To create a new variant for the report RSBTCDEL2 we need to know the time range after which the jobs need to get deleted from the client.

1. Create a new variant in Transaction SE38 specifying the number of day’s range after which the jobs need to get deleted from the system.

2. Change the job from released to scheduled and delete the old RSBTCDEL report. Schedule it with the new job RSBTCDEL2

click on save

The job will now work fine since the program and Variant have been replaced.
