Call function in update task empty variables error

Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird error while using the addition "In update task".
My Scenario is the following:
Use the bapi_goodsmvt_create -> if there are no errors, fill some values and call my function and then commit everything.
The problem is, when the function runs in update task, all import parameters are empty!
Also, this only happens in the following code structure
CALL METHOD run_migo( IMPORTING bapireturn = t_bapireturn).
IF t_bapireturn IS INITIAL.
CALL METHOD save_custom_tables. "this runs my function 'IN UPDATE TASK'
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
EXPORTING
wait = 'X'.
ENDIF.
if I commit inside the method SAVE_CUSTOM_TABLES, the data is passed normally to the function, if I commit like the code above, everything is empty.

Here's the code:
METHOD save_partial.
DATA: t_wegritm    LIKE gt_wegritm,
        t_tegrp_parc TYPE TABLE OF ztegrp_parc,
        w_tegrp_parc TYPE ztegrp_parc,
        w_tegrk_parc TYPE ztegrk_parc.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <w_wegritm> LIKE LINE OF t_wegritm.
t_wegritm = gt_wegritm.
DELETE t_wegritm WHERE mengee IS INITIAL.
CHECK NOT t_wegritm IS INITIAL.
*-->save xml iten
LOOP AT t_wegritm ASSIGNING <w_wegritm>.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING <w_wegritm> TO w_tegrp_parc.
    w_tegrp_parc-id = gw_tegrk-id.
    w_tegrp_parc-gr_docto = <w_wegritm>-gr_docto.
    w_tegrp_parc-gr_mjahr = <w_wegritm>-gr_mjahr.
    w_tegrp_parc-gr_zeile = <w_wegritm>-gr_zeile.
    APPEND w_tegrp_parc TO t_tegrp_parc.
ENDLOOP.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING gw_tegrk TO w_tegrk_parc.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_SAVE_PARTIAL'
    IN UPDATE TASK
    EXPORTING
      iw_tegrk_parc = w_tegrk_parc
    TABLES
      it_tegrp_parc = t_tegrp_parc.
ENDMETHOD.
I tried to re-create this scenario with a local class, but the code that I originally sent worked(the commit work outside of the routine).

Queries on Call Function In update Task

Hi ,
I have a requirement where I have to update a ztable in background once I execute the report.THe requirement is to exceute the updation in background.Will
Call funtion in update task help me?If yes, I have never used call function in update task .so can you guide me on the same.If no, how best can I acheive this?
Thanks & Regards,
Jyotsna

Hi,
look F1 to call function pls:
It is not executed at once, but the data passed with EXPORTING or TABLES is placed in a database table and a subsequent COMMIT WORK then causes the function module to be executed by the update task.
-> so in error case you can analyse err. with TA SM13
(update records)

Call function '' in update task - code inside is BDC

hi to all,
in using call function '' in update task
the code inside is bdc. is this possible?
my scenario is from VA01 then post billing to VF01,
i am using user-exit MV45AFZZ in subroutine userexit_save_document.
i need to post billing after va01 save.
thanks to all.

To debug in the update task, you have to set that option on in the debugger.
If the user exit runs in the update task, then you must have something like: CALL FUNCTION MODULE my_fm_to_do_BDC STARTING NEW TASK. ( This function module should wait until the SD is created. You might want to check in a loop, with a WAIT command. Once it is created, then you start your BDC and CALL TRANSACTION. ) This is NOT an update function module. It may need to be RFC enabled - I'm not certain at the moment.
If the user exit doesn't run in the update task, you need to create, and call from the user exit, an update function module that calls your function module "my_fm_to_do_BDC" STARTING NEW TASK.
The attribute "collective run", which is V3, means that the update task won't run that function module until a regularly scheduled job on the application server runs. For processing to run during the rest of the SD save, you must use V1 (could be run in any order with other V1s) or V2 (Will run after V1, but in any order with other V2s). Typically, I use V2 for this kind of task.

Is It Possible to use Call Function in update task in perform on commit

Hi Friends,
I have to send an email once the commit work is done. so i am writing code like this,
Perform send_email on commit.
form send_email.
call function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' in update task
endform.
endform.
.... ( Some other code)
commit work.
But, I am getting error saying Update task is not possible. Please suggest me how to solve this.
Thanks in Advance,
Phani.

Hi Phani,
Check whether <b>COMMIT Work</b> has be performed. I think this might be the problem.

Call Function in Update task

I have written the FM Call function 'COMMITROUTINE' in update task.
but this FM is not getting triggered when some commit happens. In all, this FM is not commiting tha data in the table.
CALL FUNCTION 'COMMITROUTINE' IN UPDATE TASK
EXPORTING
lt_dfkkbrlevyrec = lt_dfkkbrlevyrec
and the
What is missing in it?
Regards,
Seema Dadhwal.

Hi,
if you want to call your FM when a commit happens you should write a routine which is called upon commit and this routine will call your fm.
e.g
form call_my_fm .
CALL FUNCTION 'COMMITROUTINE' IN UPDATE TASK
EXPORTING
lt_dfkkbrlevyrec = lt_dfkkbrlevyrec
endform.
perform call_my_fm on commit.
commit work. " now your routine will be called

Calling function in Update Task problem

Hello Friends,
I'm calling FM 'REVISION_LEVEL_POST' in Update Task to insert a revision level for a material when saving a Change Master (CC02 T-Code). But the calling is triggered a bit early (Before updating the Data Base AEOI Table!). An Update Task FM is called right after the COMMIT WORK is executed. Here in my case, a commit work is done but not for my change Master but for a text... So my FM does not find the record to be updated.
Is there a way to solve this ?
Thank you for your Help!

Check the log in VBLOG table ..

Problem when using Call FM IN UPDATE TASK.

we plan to update ztable using Call FM in update task, and write the success/error message into log.
Does below is right?? I found the commit work can not be used here. Thanks..
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_ETABLE'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'update_ztable'' IN UPDATE TASK.
Endif.
COMMIT WORK and wait.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     ROLLBACK WORK.
     write error log.
Else.
    Write successful log.
Endif.
CALL FUNCTION 'DNQUEUE_ALL'.

Hi ,
Please see the refernce of UPDATE FUNCTION MODULES:
UPDATE FUNCTION MODULE
-In the attributes tab, under processing type, choose Update Module,
Start Immediately. Define your import parameters, enter the source
code, All validations should have been done prior to the call to this
function module, so all you need in the source, is the updating of the
database, INSERT, MODIFY, UPDATE, whatever.
-When you call you function module, use IN UPDATE TASK, after the call,
COMMIT WORK. The commit work will trigger the db update.
Why do we use this " In Update Task " ??
The main update technique for bundling database changes in a single
database LUW is to use CALL FUNCTION... IN UPDATE TASK.
How do we Use ??
A typical R/3 installation contains dialog work processes and at least one update work process. The update work processes are responsible for updating the database. When an ABAP program reaches a COMMIT WORK statement, any function modules from CALL FUNCTION... IN UPDATE TASK statements are released for processing in an update work process. The dialog process does not wait for the update to finish. This kind of update is called asynchronous update.
What is the Use... ??
Asynchronous update is useful when response time from the transaction is critical, and the database updates themselves are so complex that they justify the extra system load
Real time scenario.
Suppose a user wants to change an entry in a database table, or add a new one. He or she enters the necessary data, and then starts the update process by choosing Save. This starts the following procedure in the ABAP program:
Firstly, the program locks the database entry against other users, using the enqueue work process (or the message server in the case of a distributed system). This generates an entry in the lock table. The user is informed whether the update was successful, or whether the lock could not be set because of other users.
If the lock is set, the program reads the entry that is to be changed and modifies it. If the user has created a new entry, the program checks whether a record with the same key values already exists.
In the current dialog work process, the program calls a function module using CALL FUNCTION... IN UPDATE TASK, and this writes the change details as an entry in table VBLOG.
When the program is finished (maybe after further dialog steps), a COMMIT WORK statement starts the final part of the SAP LUW. The work process that is processing the current dialog step starts an update work process.
Based on the information passed to it from the dialog work process, the update work process reads the log entries belonging to the SAP LUW from table VBLOG.
The update work process passes this data to the database for updating, and analyzes the return message from the database. If the update was successful, the update work process triggers a database commit after the last database change and deletes the log entries from table VBLOG.
If an error occurred, the update work process triggers a database rollback, leaves the log entries in table VBLOG, flags them as containing errors, and sends a SAPoffice message to the user, who should then inform the system administrator.
The corresponding entries in the lock table are reset by the update work process.
Q:We are calling Sales Order Change in update task inside the user Exit MV50FZ1. We can see that the FM is called in update task after the commit work and the return of the FM shows the success message. But still the changes are not saved to the DB.
A: check sm21 or sm13 to see if the update was successful .. In SM21 I checked. It is giving me the error Transaction Failed

Debugging a function in UPDATE TASK

Hi All,
I'm debugging a function in UPDATE TASK. I have just actived the flag 'Update Debug'.
My problem is Find how the Function's parameters are passed. The function is called dynamically by a statement like this:
" PERFORM (VBFUNC) IN PROGRAM (TFDIR-PNAME) USING VBID. "
Does someone help me?
Thanks

Hi,
Your question is not clear to me.
wht I understood that you want to get the parameters passing to a function module which is dynamically called.
" PERFORM (VBFUNC) IN PROGRAM (TFDIR-PNAME) USING VBID. "
this statement is not calling any FM it is calling a subroutin which exist in TFDIR-PNAME program variable after USING stat is your parameter.
You can get the name of the form, program and the parameters if you debug at this point.
Thanks,
Anmol.

COMMUNICATION_FAILURE in CALL FUNCTION STARTING NEW TASK/Background task

Hi friends,
I am trying to use a FM in a Print Program (when user prints a document), using
CALL FUNCTION STARTING NEW TASK 'TASK' DESTINATION 'NONE'.
The program is triggered from VL02N tcode.
But it's giving an exception - COMMUNICATION_FAILURE. Message is Error when opening an RFC connection
I also tried
CALL FUNCTION IN BACKGROUND TASK as Separate Unit
then error message pops up - Database error when recording transactional RFC
We are attaching a PDF file of the print to content server within this function module and because the "attaching" takes a while, this part needs to be detached from the print program so that we can avoid performance issue.
I can't figure out the issue. i gues this is happening because print program is already running in Update task. I also tried with RFC enabled FM. Please help me resolve/understand the issue.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Ronjan.

Hi Ronjan,
COMMUNICATION_FAILURE. Message is Error when opening an RFC connection
I guess the reason for the above is that every RFC call synchronous/Asynchronous issues a DB COMMIT and we cannot have DB COMMITs in the V1/V2 updates, please go through the link below.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/23/e9aa61638e404d81575e939b5cd847/frameset.htm
Now, the possible solutions i can think of are,
1) Call the FM in update task delayed start and try.
2) Or create a report program and use SUBMIT (look at the job options as well).
@Mainak
3. Write a statement COMMIT WORK AND WAIT. This will actually invoke the FM
Mainak, this will lead to a Update termination, as the program is running in an update task.

How do I SUBMIT from a user exit which is called in an update task?

I want to send an idoc each time there is a goods movement. So, in the user exit of MB_POST_DOCUMENT I am calling IDOC_OUTBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB. This creates an idoc of status 30. However, in order to send the idoc I want to SUBMIT RSEOUT00. I get an ABAP dump on the SUBMIT because MB_POST_DOCUMENT is called in the update task, where SUBMIT is not allowed. Do you know any other way I can execute RSEOUT00 at this moment without having to call it later in batch?
Thanks!!
Joy

Hi Naren,
Your reply is VERY helpful!! Thank you so much.
I added CALL FUNCTION 'RSAP_IDOC_EINBUCHEN_VOM_BIW_4' IN BACKGROUND TASK. I am no longer getting the dump, but my idoc is still a status 03 and not a status 30. Should I expect to see it turn to a status 30? I ran this function directly in SE37 -> Test with the same parameters and it ran perfectly and turned the idoc to a status 03. Is there anything else I need to do in the code?
Thanks again,
Joy

Call function in background task... How to get the result?

I want to use Call function in background task parameter.
But I cannot find the result of this function. (No export parameter, no table result, no exception)
How to get the result of this function module? Correct or not?

Hi Heinz,
You can check the result in SM58 transaction.
For more information pls. refer this thread :
No IMPORTING parameters allowed in CALL FUNCTION IN BACKGROUND TASK

Use of CALL FUNCTION - STARTING NEW TASK parameter_list.

SELECT strt_code
             city_code
             commu_code
             regiogroup
      INTO TABLE gt_adrstreet1
      FROM adrstreet
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_street_district
      WHERE strt_code EQ gt_street_district-strt_code.
To optimize the performance of teh above query I am planning to use call function CALL FUNCTION - STARTING NEW TASK .....
by spliting the above internal table gt_street_district into two internal tables and use the value of each internal table into two different queries and these queries will be put in call function - start new task ....so that these queries are run in different workprocess and thus improve the performance of the program.
Can you please let me know if this would be a good option and also how to implement the same.
Thanks.....

>To optimize the performance of teh above query I am planning to use call function CALL FUNCTION - STARTING NEW TASK .....
nonsense! You should not try parallel processing for a non-optimized SELECT statement.
Better add the first key field of the WHERE condition as said above and check
+ whether the driver table is empfty
+ and whether there are duplicated entries
... And it is also a good idea to really use the SINGLE RECORD BUFFER, therefore you must write
field-symbol: <fs> type ...
LOOP AT gt_street_district ASSIGNING <fs>
   SELECT *
                INTO TABLE gt_adrstreet1
                FROM adrstreet
                WHERE counrty =
                 AND       strt_code = <fs>-strt_code.
ENDLOOP.
Then it will be extremely fast!

Save Order - Call function in background Task

Hi all,
I have written a function module which is called in order save Badi and copies the system status on the Master contract to the sub contracts.
This works fine but when I call this function in background task the status is not getting copied over.For testing I have created a program similar to function module and scheduled that in background and this was working as required.
Can someone please let me know if I missed out anything or how can i resolve this issue.
Any inputs in this regard would be very helpful.
Thanks and regards,
Vijay

Parallel Processing Issue : call function starting new task

Hi
I am using the parallel processing functionality using the call function new task destination in group default Performing on end of task inside a loop ( i am splitting the internal table )
However when i am debugging the code, i am able to see the function module( it opens a new session in debugging ) , and i see that new task is started after the RFC Function module is executed .
How is this parallel processing ? I mean the new task starts after control returns back to main program , after the execution of the RFC FM.
I thought the idea was to have the same FM executing in multi threads. So that time is saved.

Thanks for the answers.
There were too many complications in the 'call function in new task ' option.
So we are trying it with the job submit option. So we are splitting up the data into smaller tables and submiting it with this statement : Submit 'prog' with selection-table 's_sel' via job 'job' and return .
Thanks

Update termination error while calling FM in Update task

Hi Friends,
I am calliing my Z Function Module in update task from my report, my function module contain reuse alv list display fm which should create a Spool in the spool list.
When ever i am directly executing my Z function module i am getting spool in SP01, but when ever i am calling the Z Function Module in update task from my report i am getting a message as "Express document "Update was terminated" received from author.
I want to call the Function module in update task and it should generate spools .
Syntax:
CALL FUNCTION 'ZLOK_TEST' IN UPDATE TASK.
Commit work.
Thanks Regards,
Sandipan jena

Hi sandipan jena,
a function called in update task will not create a spool list if not told so to to. Only reports scheduled in a JOB will put the output into spool.
Make sure you have no COMMIT WORK and no MESSAGE output when in UPDATE TASK. You can enter /h and in debugger switch on UPDATE debugging. This will lead you to any error occurring.
You should analyze the errors you get. Mabe NEW-PAGE PRINT ON can help you.
Regards
Clemens
