Avoiding background job overruns - SAP

Commonly, We schedule background job for every 5 min or so on periodically depends on the functionality of the program and data updates required. In this situation,there might be a situation where previous background job still continue to run even after next schedule due to data or some other reason. This will make two jobs of same program run parallel and might create locking or performance issues. To avoid such situation, We can add a step to the existing background job prior to the step of the actual program. The below mentioned program should run prior to the actual program execution.  This program will check and cancel the subsequent job of the next run if the program still runs before next execution. Program Name - RSBTONEJOB Note that the variant of this program should be maintained with same name as that batch Job name.
