Native KSE threading is already done. Some problems occurred though,
which yet seem to be scheduling problems in the threading (A complete
database backup runs, but does not responds correctly, when finished.).

Question from a SAP Developer was, if there are there ways for
"scheduling checks" in the lib ?

I will try that ...
