We have granted end users the ability to schedule and release their own jobs through S_BTCH_JOB RELE. However, after:
1) Implementation of a note that adds a value of P to S_BTCH_ADM to prevent certain users from scheduling periodic jobs without going through our job scheduler
and
2) our internal control group going power hungry entering a ticket to remove S_BTCH_ADM with Y from certain roles
Our finance group has the lost the ability to start their month end job chains, which cannot be scheduled by our job scheduler as their is no rhyme, reason, or pattern to how or when they would be ready to release their jobs. These jobs were scheduled by different people and one of the accounting managers had access to SM37 with S_BTCH_ADM to release their jobs when they were ready.
The problem I have been tasked with is to find a solution to allow the end users who create these jobs the ability to release their own jobs. All users have access to SMX but unfortunately it looks like the SAP standard code for it greys out the release button. Is there another transaction similar to SMX that would allow users to see and release their own jobs, is there a way to limit SM37 safely without causing controls or auditing to swoop down from their perches, or will basis need to release these jobs? I am open to ideas here.
