Batch job to print GRs from a single plant

We have a requirement to set up a daily batch job to print all GRs for one of our plants. The others will be printed as they currently are (immediately when saving) but for one plant we want to delay all printing until a certain time of day and then print all automatically. How can this be accomplished?
Thanks!

Go through these steps you can get the GRN Printout
1. Maintain the Printer Name in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Printer Setting
Enter the local printer where you want to print your Goods posting document
2. Ensure that in SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Item Print Indicator, 1 stands for Matl Doc print out
3. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Gen Settings->Print Version, maintain Print Version 2
4. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Print Control->Maintain Print Indicator for Goods Receipt/GI/Transfer Posting Documents
Here for Particular mvt type 101,201,121,311 etcu2026 Maintain the Print item as 1--Material document printout
5. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Maintain Output Types, for the Output types WE01, WE02 and WE03, ensure the following--
Select the particular Output type then goto Details
a. Default Values: Dispatch Time is 3 or 4 as per reqmt. and Transmission medium is 1
b. Print Parameter is 7
6. In SPRO->Matl Mgmt->Inv Mgmt and Phy Inv->Output Determination->Printer Det->Printer Determination by Plant/Str Loc, Maintain the Output device for all your Plants
7. Go to MN21, for Tr Type WE, Print Version 3, maintain Print Item as 1.
Now the settings are ready for Printing Material doc
8. While doing MIGO, ensure that in General Tab, you get "3 Collective Slip" beside the Print Indicator and you tick mark the field.
9. Now depending on the setting in 5a, the Matl doc is printed. If it is 3, you have to print it using MB90. If it is 4, it is printed immediately.
for plant wise printing, you have to schedule the job in batch mode
to do that
first you have to create new conditon table which include the plant and other criteria you requireed
than create new access sequence
than M706 tcode enter you access seq
Than M708
create variant and use this variant for background job
than schedul a back ground job using SM36 tcode.

Batch Jobs Running during upgrade from 46C to ECC 6!

Hi All
We are currently due to run our upgrade in the next two weeks and I have one final concern. The only testing we have not done relates to batch jobs.
Our upgrade stratergy is downtime minimised.
Does anyone know any best practices or issues that could effect our upgrade?
Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil,
If I remember correctly all background jobs in SAP R/3 are de-scheduled by the upgrade process. You have to manually reschedule them after the upgrade so make sure you have good scheduling documentation (or consider the central job scheduling provided by SAP NetWeaver for the future).
One tip is that you need to make sure that jobs started from other systems are postponed until after the upgrade too (e.g. data extractions to BI). The upgrade process cannot determine job schedules and dependencies in other systems/scheduling tools.
Cheers,
Mike.

Batch job creating PO's from PR after a certain date in PR

Hello,
We need to create PO from PR based on certain number of days (4 days ) from the delivery date in PR. That is if delivery date in PR=30.4.14, then the PO should be created on 26.4.14 by the batch job (30.4.14 less 4 days ).
How to achieve the above !

Print selected pages of a PDF file to printer as a batch job using VB6

I have the following:
1) 1,000 multi-paged PDF files (say 00000001.pdf, 00000002.pdf, ..., 00160000.pdf)
2) A list of pages for each document to print
(e.g. 00000001.pdf: 2,3,5,7
00000002.pdf: 3-8, 10
00001000.pdf: 5,6,7,10)
I want to perform a single batch job to print the specified pages of all 1000 PDF documents to default printer.
I am using VB6, Acrobat Reader 9 installed.
I am thinking of writing a function like that:
Private Function PrintPDF(byval sPDFFilePath as string, byval iPageNum() as integer) as boolean
and then write a looping routine to print the files one by one.
Seems that Acrobat SDK has such feature.
Please advise how can I do this?

I downloaded the Arcobat SDK and now learning to use it with its sample.
However, I got stuck when I run the program BasicIacVB.
I got the following error message:
Cannot create ActiveX component.
When running the line
gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
I run this program on my PC with VS2005 installed.
What extra step do I need to do to use the sdk?
Seems there's no installation package there...
Sorry about my stupid question, I am a total newbie in AcrobatSDK.
P.S. My ultimate goal is to develop the program in VB6 (not using VB2005),
as my client PCs does not (and cannot for some reason) install .net framework.

Change Printer On Batch Job

A user has requested a printer change on a batch job (#4807) that only has a single step. I have used ZBMW to access the batch job details, and when I double click on the job step, I am taken to a screen with printing/archiving parameters but the fields are grayed-out and not able to be changed. This happens in both display and maintain mode for both 'active' and 'onice' jobs.
How can I go about making this change? Thanks.

What is ZBMW ?
The "normal" way to do that is go to SM37, then choose your job (must be in "Relased" status, then menu Job -> Change.
Then button Step, then select the program and press the change button.
In the next popup, press the "print specifications" button.
(By the way, I think you have posted this message into the wrong section

Batch Jobs fail because User ID is either Locked or deleted from SAP System

Business Users releases batch jobs under their user id.
And when these User Ids are deleted or locked by system administrator, these batch jobs fail, due to either user being locked or deleted from the system.
Is there any way that these batch jobs can be stopped from cancelling or any SAP standard report to check if there are any batch jobs running under specific user id.

Ajay,
What you can do is, if you want the jobs to be still running under the particular user's name (I know people crib about anything and everything), and not worry about the jobs failing when the user is locked out, you can still achieve this by creating a system (eg bkgrjobs) user and run the Steps in the jobs under that System User name. You can do this while defining the Step in SM37
This way, the jobs will keep running under the Business User's name and will not fail if he/she is locked out. But make sure that the System User has the necessary authorizations or the job will fail. Sap_all should be fine, but it really again depends on your company.

How to get all AD User accounts, associated with any application/MSA/Batch Job running in a Local or Remote machine using Script (PowerShell)

Dear Scripting Guys,
I am working in an AD migration project (Migration from old legacy AD domains to single AD domain) and in the transition phase. Our infrastructure contains lots
of Users, Servers and Workstations. Authentication is being done through AD only. Many UNIX and LINUX based box are being authenticated through AD bridge to AD.
We have lot of applications in our environment. Many applications are configured to use Managed Service Accounts. Many Workstations and servers are running batch
jobs with AD user credentials. Many applications are using AD user accounts to carry out their processes.
We need to find out all those AD Users, which are configured as MSA, Which are configured for batch jobs and which are being used for different applications on
our network (Need to find out for every machine on network).
These identified AD Users will be migrated to the new Domain with top priority. I get stuck with this requirement and your support will be deeply appreciated.
I hope a well designed PS script can achieve this.
Thanks in advance...
Thanks & Regards Bedanta S Mishra

Hey Satyajit,
Thank you for your valuable reply. It is really a great notion to enable account logon audit and collect those events for the analysis. But you know it is also a tedious job when thousand of Users come in to picture. You can imagine how complex it will be
for this analysis, where more than 200000 users getting logged in through AD. It is the fact that when a batch / MS or an application uses a Domain Users credential with successful process, automatically a successful logon event will be triggered in associated
DC. But there are also too many users which are not part of these accounts like MSA/Batch jobs or not linked to any application. In that case we have to get through unwanted events.
Recently jrv, provided me a beautiful script to find out all MSA from a machine or from a list of machines in an AD environment. (Covers MSA part.)
$Report= 'Audit_Report.html'
$Computers= Get-ADComputer -Filter 'Enabled -eq $True' | Select -Expand Name
$head=@'
<title>Non-Standard Service Accounts</title>
<style>
BODY{background-color :#FFFFF}
TABLE{Border-width:thin;border-style: solid;border-color:Black;border-collapse: collapse;}
TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 2px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color: ThreeDShadow}
TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 2px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color: Transparent}
</style>
$sections=@()
foreach($computer in $Computers){
$sections+=Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $Computer -class Win32_Service -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
Select-Object -Property StartName,Name,DisplayName |
ConvertTo-Html -PreContent "<H2>Non-Standard Service Accounts on '$Computer'</H2>" -Fragment
$body=$sections | out-string
ConvertTo-Html -Body $body -Head $head | Out-File $report
Invoke-Item $report
A script can be designed to get all scheduled back ground batch jobs in a machine, from which the author / the Owner of that scheduled job can be extracted. like below one...
Function Get-ScheduledTasks
Param
[Alias("Computer","ComputerName")]
[Parameter(Position=1,ValuefromPipeline=$true,ValuefromPipelineByPropertyName=$true)]
[string[]]$Name = $env:COMPUTERNAME
[switch]$RootOnly = $false
Begin
$tasks = @()
$schedule = New-Object -ComObject "Schedule.Service"
Process
Function Get-Tasks
Param($path)
$out = @()
$schedule.GetFolder($path).GetTasks(0) | % {
$xml = [xml]$_.xml
$out += New-Object psobject -Property @{
"ComputerName" = $Computer
"Name" = $_.Name
"Path" = $_.Path
"LastRunTime" = $_.LastRunTime
"NextRunTime" = $_.NextRunTime
"Actions" = ($xml.Task.Actions.Exec | % { "$($_.Command) $($_.Arguments)" }) -join "`n"
"Triggers" = $(If($xml.task.triggers){ForEach($task in ($xml.task.triggers | gm | Where{$_.membertype -eq "Property"})){$xml.task.triggers.$($task.name)}})
"Enabled" = $xml.task.settings.enabled
"Author" = $xml.task.principals.Principal.UserID
"Description" = $xml.task.registrationInfo.Description
"LastTaskResult" = $_.LastTaskResult
"RunAs" = $xml.task.principals.principal.userid
If(!$RootOnly)
$schedule.GetFolder($path).GetFolders(0) | % {
$out += get-Tasks($_.Path)
$out
ForEach($Computer in $Name)
If(Test-Connection $computer -count 1 -quiet)
$schedule.connect($Computer)
$tasks += Get-Tasks "\"
Else
Write-Error "Cannot connect to $Computer. Please check it's network connectivity."
Break
$tasks
End
[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($schedule) | Out-Null
Remove-Variable schedule
Get-ScheduledTasks -RootOnly | Format-Table -Wrap -Autosize -Property RunAs,ComputerName,Actions
So I think, can a PS script be designed to get the report of all running applications which use domain accounts for their authentication to carry out their process. So from that result we can filter out the AD accounts being used for those
applications. After that these three individual modules can be compacted in to a single script to provide the desired output as per the requirement in a single report.

Executing a Batch Job on Demand

Hi,
I need to execute a batch job which accepts data from flat files and then stage, validate, standardize and match the data and then produce an XML output for further processing. The volume of data will not be large as the flat files are produced via a GUI.
What would be the best way to enable this job to be called as required by the users ?
I can think of possibly
1) a very big real time job
2) a real time job containing a command line to execute the job
3) embedding the command line within the GUI (not sure if this is possible / practical)
Any pros and cons of these ideas or any other better ways much appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric.

Hi Eric,
This does not require a real time job, just a normal batch job called frequently on-demand.
You could do this via:
1. Command Line in bat script or GUI (requires executables on client)
2. Call your Job via a Web Service (within GUI or app)
Option 1 (calling the Job Launcher) will require the executables to be installed on each client machine that calls the Job, whereas option 2 will eliminate any need for executables.

Bogus print from cycle count batch job

Hi all,
We are using cycle count process for certain materials.
Two std batch jobs are used for this purpose.
1. To create cycle count document in the system.
2. To print created cycle count document.
For last few days we are facing a strange problem. Cycle count print job is printing some documents which are not available in SAP Environment. (Tables IKPF and ISEG)
Any pointers to solve the issue would be helpful.
regards,
Parshuram

check the settings made for the print job.
Use SM37 find your print job. Click the step button.
What program do you use?
put your cursor onto the step line, then choose from menu GOTO > Variants.
What selection criteria are used in the variant?

Printing to the wrong Printer from the Batch Job

Hi,
Morning every one!
I am facing a problem with Print which is coming from Batch Job. The Batch job contains 10 steps. Previously all steps out put has configured to one printer. Recently I changed one step out put to the another printer with the request. But the print is going to the old printer still.
When I am checking at the batch job -> Steps -> Specific step ->Print Specifications -> Output Device .. able to see New Printer.
But batch job -> Steps-> Select Specific step -> Spool -> Doble click .. There spool is going to the old printer. I am facing this problem for only one step.
The issue is dragging from past one week.. I tried couple of options..No luck
I appreciate any inputs/Solution for this.
Env: ECC5.0/Solaris/Oracle
Thanks,
Sri.

I got the solution finally from ABAP team. The printer is maintained in the Condition records of the Variant for the particular step. Even though I assigned the printer in Batch job..It is taking the printer from Condition record.
Thanks,
Sri.

Automatically output report to excel from a batch job

We have business users who require that a standard report be run daily as a batch job and output to a printer, which is using a large pile of paper every day. I have challenged the rationale for this without success, and am trying to find a way to continue to run the batch job but output the report to an excel file and e-mail it to a manager. I know that this can be done by a good ABAP programmer, but I am trying to find a way to set up the batch job to do this without additional ABAP, as programming resources are very limited. I would appreciate input from anybody who knows how to do this.

Likely because your user is continuing to call the service in a Windows (classic) DOMAIN\username format, and not in the Claims identity it should be.

Batch job print parameters missing

I have 4 BATCH jobs that output to a pdf via MAIL. The data is shrunk so small that it cannot be read. If I am in SP01, and I try to reprint with changed parameters, only a select few formats are available. (All the ABAP/4 lists).
I went to SPAD -> Full Administration -> Device Types -> Choose the device type -> Formats
I see the the output DEVICE associated with MAIL is PDF1. I checked the formats that are already listed. It seems that some of these will suit my needs - however, most of them are not available to choose when I edit the batch job.
How can I add a different format? I need to test several to find a size that will accommodate a very wide table.
All suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

It's pretty huge. Columns A-W. The length varies, but this week's was 195 rows. I tried to create a new format, but I supposed it will never fit on a normal sheet of paper.
Is it possible to "print" to an Excel file from a batch job?
Right now, I am going back into SP01 and downloading to excel and emailing it out.
Think this can be automated?
Thanks for your input

Regarding Batch Jobs for migration of data from client DB to our local DB

Hi Folks,
GoodDay, Previously I worked as a Oracle Developer and recently shifted into a BIG organisation as PL?SQL developer. Here my base work is with INTERFACES(Stored Procedure). That is retrieving data from client DB and need to put the data in our staging tables. For that i created 2 INTERFACES(stored procedures). One is for one time migration. No need to run on regular basis. The second one is to run regularly why because if any updations are done in client DB that should be replicate to our DB. For that we need to run a BATCH JOB regulary 24X7 basis.
But i dont have any working knowledge on BATCH JOB creation and running. Please let me guide on this issue ASAP.
Regards,
Ramesh.

You can try
dbms_job(9i)
or
dbms_scheduler(10g)
just out of curiosity.. tell me if you are interested...
what you were doing as a "oracle developer" ( is it like writing only "sql" )...

Is there a way to access ABAP OO instances from a batch job report

Hello,
I am looking for a way to access ABAP OO instances from a batch job report. My circumstances are the following:
I have got some ABAP OO coding that identifies other objects (class instances) that have to be processed (they have a DoIt method that does some calculation). As this processing is time consuming and performace relevant I have to parallelize this in batch jobs. This batch jobs however can only be "simple" ABAP reports according to SM36. The problem is now that I dont really know how to tell the batch job report what objects to process. Somehow I have to access theses instances from that batch job report.
Does anybody have an idea?
Greetings
Matthias

Hi David,
thanks a lot for your help. After a lot of searching on the net this seems to be the only way to cope with it. However I am not sure about the locking mechanisms and if its suitable for mass data processing. In the help page you suggested the following is stated which I do not fully understand::
"The current lock logic does not enable you to set specific locks for the following requirements:
·        Many parallel read and write accesses
·        Frequent write accesses
·        Division into changeable and non-changeable areas
Although the lock logic makes the first two points technically possible, they are not practical because most accesses would be rejected."
Does this mean
a) if I dont want to set "specific locks" for frequent write accessess I am fine
or
b) I am discouraged from use shared memory technics for frequent write accessess?
In the latter case I will have a problem...
What do you think?
