Choosing layout when running a report in the background

Hi Experts,
I have the following question: when executing a report in background that doesn't have the layout variant as selection criteria, how can I choose which fields are displayed in the spool?
I am particularly interested in the logistic reports: ME2N, ME2L, ....
I am using SAP ECC 6.0.
Kind regards,
Francisco Melo

I believe the process to do this is to:
1)  Go to transaction SM36 to create a batch job. 
2)  Enter a job name
3)  Select "Step", specify the ABAP program name (for ME2M, this is RM06EM00), then type in the variant you wish to use
4)  Save, then go to Start Condition and specify when you want this batch job to run, along with the frequency
Edit - nevermind, I misunderstood the issue.  I am unsure of how to have the layout automatically populated.

  • Why do I get a status of 'waiting' when I run a report in the background

    Happy new Year Experts!!
    I am working with Ad-hoc query and I run reports in the background.  When I go to System > Own Spool Requests the status is always waiting.  When I go to SM37 the status is complete.  I can open the report from my own spools requests and it is completed.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Jeanette

    Go to SM36-> Own jobs - double click the job - Select Edit-Steps - DOuble click the step and check print specifications.
    Moreover, if you wanna make the job printed on finish, make sure that there is a default printer defined in SU3 - Defaults - Output device field.

  • Schedule measurement in SE30 - running a report in the background

    Dear experts,
    I have a long running ABAP report and I will need to analyze its runtime for performance improvements.
    How may I correctly run this ABAP report in the background from SE30 (runtime analysis tool)? The report has to be run using a specific variant for its selection screen inputs as well.
    This is what I have done:
    1. Go to SE30
    2. Click on "For User/Service" button under "Schedule"
    3. Create new Schedule Measurement with the following details:-
      - User (<my user name>),
      - Client (<properly specified>),
      - External Session (Any),
      - Processing Category (Background Processing),
      - Object Type (Report),
      - Object Name (<ABAP report program name>),
      - Max. No. of Scheduled Measurements (1),
      - Expiration Date & Time (<properly specified>)
    5. In the screen "Overview of Scheduled Measurements", I have the following displayed as well:-
      - Scheduled = 1
      - Started = 0
      - Errors = 0
      - Status = Being processed
    Am I still on the right track here? (Started = 0 and there was no way I could specify the variant for the selection screen input values too)
    Please help. Appreciate any inputs at all.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    you can try it with ST12 and the <ALL Servers> Option for tasktype B.
    see this blog:
    /people/hermann.gahm/blog/2010/03/22/st12-150-tracing-user-requests-tasks-http
    ST12 uses SE30 / ST05 behind the covers. But here you can switch on
    the trace for all servers and therefore don't have to take care for that yourself.
    Kind regards,

  • Authorization error when running a report from the portal

    Hello,
    I am trying to run a certain report under a certain user in the portal.
    If I run this report with this user from the BW it is working but if I run it from the portal with this user it doesn't. The error I receive in the portal is this:

  • Issue with date formula when running a report on the 1st day of the month

    We have a formula that compares last month data against last year last month, the report runs on the 1st of every month although the report errors when it tries to run in January being the first month of the new year it tries to look for a month begining with Zero instead of looking back at decemeber which would be 12.
    Does anyone any solutions for this issue?
    Thanks,
    Chris
    Example of some formula's we have tried but none seem to work.
    if {@MonthName} = "December" then year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT}) in year(currentdate)-1 to year(currentdate)-2 else year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT}) in year(currentdate)
    OR
    (if {@Last Full Month Name}= "December" then year({CDCCHD.CDOPDT})= year(currentdate)-2 or
    {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastyearytd else {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastyearytd or
    {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in yeartodate)
    OR
    ({CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateserial(year(currentdate)-1,month(currentdate),01)-1 to dateserial(year(currentdate)-1,month(currentdate)-1,01) or
    {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in lastfullmonth)
    OR
    if {@monthname} = "December" then {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateadd("m", -28, (currentdate)) to (currentdate)-14 else {CDCCHD.CDOPDT} in dateadd("m", -14, (currentdate)) to (currentdate)

    Chris,
    Give these formulas a try...
    Beg of Last Month
    DateAdd("m", DateDiff("m",#1/1/1900#, CurrentDate) - 1, #1/1/1900#)
    End of Last Month
    DateAdd("m", DateDiff("m",#1/1/1900#, CurrentDate), #1/1/1900#)
    Beg December of Last Year
    IF DatePart("m",CurrentDate) = 1
    THEN DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -2, 12,1)
    ELSE DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -1, 12,1)
    End December of Last Year
    IF DatePart("m",CurrentDate) = 1
    THEN DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate) -1, 1,1)
    ELSE DateSerial(DatePart("yyyy",CurrentDate), 1,1)
    Note that the "End" formulas produce a value that shows midnight of the following day that you would normally expect to see... For example, if you are expecting to see 12/31/2009, it will show 1-1-2010.
    The reason is that the formulas come out to be midnight of the day shown... So a range of 12/1/2009 - 1/1/2010 will include 12/31/2009's data but none of 1/1/2010... (12/1/2009 - 12/31/2009 would actually cut off 12/31/2009).
    If for some reason your data is stored w/o time values then an adjustment would need to be mande.

  • Is there a way to affect the URL used when running a report subscription?

    We are using SQL Server 2008 R2.  I am finding out that when running a report subscription to extract a file in csv format, an extra blank line is created at the bottom (i.e., extra line feed), and the mysterious BOM characters also get inserted at
    the beginning.  Both of these "features" are causing problems with a client's import of these files.  Of course, it affects multiple clients.
    I have done some research and have found information on how to edit the rsconfigserver file to render CSV files using ASCII and to not use Excel formatting.  This removes both "features"/problems stated above.
    However, editing the server config file will affect all csv extractions on that report server.  Is there a way to control the URL of a specific report subscription to include these values (so only the reports that need the fix get it)?  For example,
    someone gave this URL as an example of how to add parameters including encoding in the URL.   http://MyReportServer/ReportServer?%2fReport+Folder%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=CSV&rc:Encoding=ASCII
    Is there a way to have the report subscription run the report using a URL like this so it extracts it without the BOM characters?  I was thinking a data driven subscription would allow me to set the values like this, but these parameters are only pertinent
    AFTER the report is run and only needed for the final rendering.  Not sure how to do this. Maybe it's not possible. If it's not, that's fine.  I just need to write a proposal to our DBA's to talk them into making a couple edits to the server config
    file.
    Has anyone ever worked around this before in SSRS?
    Thank you!!
    Dana

    Hi DanaSSRS,
    According to your description, you want to have some report exported into CSV file with ASCII encoding when running a subscription. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when we run the subscription, it will call the Render Extension as we configured in rsreportserver.config file, we can't set the Render format with ASCII Encoding on subscription level. As you said, the Render Extension we configured
    in the rsreportserver.config will apply to all reports. In this scenario, you only want that extension apply to specific reports. For your requirement, we suggest you add a custom Render Extension in configure file. You just need to copy the CSV Extension
    and add a <OverrideNames/> to override a new name. Then set the <Encoding> in <Configure>. And you can select this custom Extension when creating the subscription. This might be the most effective workaround.
    Reference:
    Customizing Rendering Extension Parameters in RSReportServer.Config
    CSV Device Information Settings
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,

  • Displaying report in .pdf format while Running oracle reports over the web

    I am running a report over the web via IE. I am suing .pdf
    format as the file type. The problem I am facing is that the

    in R12 I found 2 choice
    1) when submitting requests (if available) you can set the output format by using the Options button (upon sompletion section):
    layout --> format --> select format you need (RTF/HTML/EXCEL/PDF)
    2) in the request form (view->request) selecr the report you want to reprint in the Tools menu select print/republish, in the html page that pop up select output format you want, number of copies =1 submit

  • Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

    I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
    Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
    Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
    First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.
    Here's the url for that archived discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3849933?start=0&tstart=0
    Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
    thanks, brokenlom

    Here are Apple's instructions:
    If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
    Click Choose Library.
    Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
    (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
    Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

  • Error when running a report in BPC NW

    I am getting the following error when running a report for my application in BPC NW.
    EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server (retrying in (X) seconds).
    This error comes with this dialog option box to either continue or cancel retrying retrieving data. Retrying doesn't help either.
    Any report I run (on any of my appsets), I get this error. I used the EVDRE function and also tried running a report using the template as the basis. But I get the error either way.
    Does anyone know why this error is occurs or how to debug this issue. I saw some information about this in earlier threads but could  not make much out of it.
    Appreciate any assistance.

    Sanjay,
      This  is a   very  generic  error...Couple  of  places  to  look  for....
    1)Reprocess the application (Modify application + Reassign SQL Index + Process Application)
    2)optimizing the application sometimes helps (Full Optimize + Compress Database + Index defragmentation).
    3)Create a "evdataserver_debug.txt" in user's private publication folder on  server side to populate very detail level logging  and  check  the  log on client side EVDRE_LOG.txt for  further  peek  into  where  things  are getting  messed up.
    if  evdataserver_debug.txt does not  get  populated on BPC 5.x...it  is  an  issue  with  IIS authetication on Application server.
    4)You have to check the event viewer into .NET server and also the BPC logs which can be found into
    BPC\Logging  for  further  details  ..
    Hope  this  helps..

    Anybody knows how to increase the size of GREP blocks?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Arun Mohan

    Hello,
    The reason for the error GR215 is that too many data blocks are being
    processed.
    The explanation is one of the following:
    - You have variation activated in the report
    - A large group of objects is being processed and the report output
       fails due to the large data size
    - the selected data is reaching the technical restriction
    Check the SAP note 64537. This note advises you to set the BLOCK SIZE parameter
    in the coding to 500000. However, the maximum value possible is 999999. You may -
    if you already implemented the coding change of SAP note 64537 - raise the parameter
    once more to 999999.
    If the error then still remains the selected/processed data is definitely too much.
    Then check the report definition in comparison to SAP notes 317574 and 387414.
    Regards,
    David

  • How to avoid IE pop-ups when running BIP reports(w/ SSO) from Oracle Forms?

    Hi all,
    We have an OID/SSO integrated Oracle Forms and BI Publisher environment in place. We/users expect the same behavior when running Oracle Reports or BIP reports from Oracle Forms... which means receiving no intermediate pop-ups and simply getting the report output to appear in the relevant target application(PDF, EXCEL, etc). Currently we get multiple security warnings when running BIP reports from Oracle Forms.
    Here's a list of Pop-ups contents:
    1. "File Download - Security Warning" Do you want to open or save this file? -> OPEN
    2. "File Download" Do you want to save this file? Name = ma01r500.pdf -> YES
    3. "Save AS" -> pick desktop and save.
    4. "Download Complete" -> OPEN
    We have experimented with setting various IE security settings to LOW/enabled and still get these pop-ups.
    Any suggestions is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Yahya

    FYI... Metalink Note 282996.1 has resolved the bigger issue with the extra pop-ups with SSO enabled environment.
    Cause:
    Internet Explorer (IE) has to cache PDF files in a temporary directory prior to opening the file. Without this IE cannot process PDF files. With SSO protected pages, the header cache settings are set to no-cache which prevents IE from downloading PDF files.
    Solution:
    In mod_osso.conf use the entry "OssoSendCacheHeaders off" which tells mod_osso to turn off all no-cache related headers, which the enables Internet Explorer to be cache the file in a temporary directory.
    Now I am not sure if anybody has any thoughts/suggestions as how we might be able to resolve this issue where Oracle Reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls have no pop-ups so ideally BIP reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls should behave the same as both are calls from Oracle Forms.
    But at least now our SSO enabled environment and un-secure DEV/UAT behave the same with a single pop-up. Ideally the users shouldn't have to come across this intermediate pop-up to open(save/cancel being the other options) the document(just like Oracle Reports calls).

  • How to run long running report in the background

    Oracle Application server 10g
    I need to run the long running reports in the background because while the report is running the cursor is loading and the control doesn't return to the user
    this feature exist in oracle 6i by set the following parameter
    RUN_PRODUCT( REPORTS, 'r_1', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
    How can I accomplish the same in OAS 10g?

    Hi,
    I've done this in 11g. I think it will be the same in 10g as well
    Following are the steps in 11g using run_report_object.
    1. Read metalink note: Using the Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table and API - RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE [ID 72531.1]
    2. Implement RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE table as per above notes.
    3. When submitting report run it as background
    a. SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lo_report_object, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, ASYNCHRONOUS); -
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lo_report_object, REPORT_COMM_MODE , BATCH);
    4. Display the job_id to user (notification).
    5. Create a new form to view reports base on on RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE which provides you the status, etc.... (you may have to create a way to identify the username who submitted the job. This way not all users will see the jobs in RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE )
    6. Optionally you can use NOTIFYSUCCESS=email to notify user when the report is finished.
    Cheers
