Download File in Background mode

Hi SAP Gurus,
I want to download file in Background using fn mod GUI_DOWNLOAD , it raises an execption 'CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR'.
Is there any other way to do so.?
Thanks in advance.
Gaurav

Hello Gaurav,
GUI/WS_DOWNLOAD require an active GUI and are therefore not useable in batch mode. OPEN DATASET is the statement of choice.
There is a related thread which might be of interest to you.
WS_DOWNLOAD in background?

Downloading file in Background mode?

Hi gurus,
When I run the program in Fore ground and Back ground (Immediately when press F9, without schedule) I am getting same result, I can able to download file in a local file. Please I like to know whether it is correct or not?
If it is not correct, How to download the file into presentation server (Local file) when program run in back ground mode (Immediately when press F9, without schedule)?
Please give your valuable suggestions. Please send the code if you have.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan.

Hi,
you can not download file in a presentation server using your Background job. That is a limitation from SAP. Instead you can download file to presentation server. Or you can add mailing the file to user id functionality.
Hope this helps.

Local file in background mode

Hi experts,
Is it possible to upload data from local drive(presentation server) to sap in background mode.
As I know ,in the background mode we can upload files from application server only.
but here my functional consultant saying they did upload data from local drive to sap in background mode.
please suggest.
thanks in advance.
sastry.

hey,
Yes it can be made possible,
The only way to access files in a background job is to have them on the application server and opened via OPEN DATASET or similar.
*--Local Variables
DATA : l_file TYPE string,
l_line TYPE string,
l_index TYPE sy-tabix.
*--Clear
CLEAR : l_file.
l_file = p_ipfile.
*--Read the data from application server file.
OPEN DATASET l_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
*--Error in opening file
MESSAGE i368(00) WITH text-005.
ENDIF.
*--Get all the records from the specified location.
DO.
READ DATASET l_file INTO l_line.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ELSE.
SPLIT l_line AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
INTO st_ipfile-vbeln
st_ipfile-posnr
st_ipfile-edatu
st_ipfile-wmeng.
APPEND st_ipfile TO it_ipfile.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.

Create an Excel format file in background w/DATASET Cmds?

I have heard that you can create a file into an excel format file in background mode using dataset commands - anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

Hi Stephen,
Use Open dataset, Transfer, Close dataset to create file on Application server.
Use FM Z_CONV_ITAB_TO_TAB_DELIMITED to convert your lines in TAB delimited format. you can download file from your application server to presentation server using T Code CG3Y and give extension as .xls ...
As you data is Tab delimited it will automatically get formatted in columns in your EXCEL file.

RFC communication to presentation sever in background mode

I need to download data in background mode to a presentation server. I found documentation from 2005 regarding this process and have successfully set up an RFC to send the data. In my ABAP program, I use RFC_REMOTE_FILE to send an internal table of data to the presentation server via the RFC connection. The connection works fine except that only the first 80 characters of each line of the internal table are sent. I found unanswered forum questions regarding the need to send more than 255 characters (which I could live with) so I am hoping that I can send more than an 80 character table. We are on ECC 6.0 - EHP4 with GUI 720.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try using FM- DOWNLOAD?

Hi,
In general practice we don't access a file from presentation server in background because at that point of time i might not logon to SAP server, so it is always preferable to access the file from Application layer incase of background processing.
Unless it is a client requirement, don't access files from the presentation layer in background./
thanks,
Mahesh.

Exporting Local File in background

Hi,
I want to export a flat file in background mode. I am currently using WS_DOWNLOAD but this doesn't work in background. What I think is that I will save it in UNIX directory. Can you please give some sample codes for this? or if there's still a way using WS_DOWNLOAD to do this in background?
I appreciate your response.
Thanks!

Use the transaction CG3Z to upload your file into application server.
Then you can use
open dataset.
transfer dataset.
close dataset.
commands to access that file from application server.

File download in Background mode

Hi All,
A file need to be downloaded to the folder
dc20\nt71data\jsox\" while execution in background mode.
It is also mentioned that the file need not be sent to the application server.

Can you please predict where would be this folder and how to proceed?
Thanks & Regards,

hi,
Please check in AL11 transaction.Where you will find the list of folders in Application server.

Why the background job for downloading file failed?

I have a background job for downloading file with logical path.
with
'OPEN DATASET l_out_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT';
Now, the program can be run in foreground;but when it running on background, it shows 'open file error'.
I do not know what happen?
Please help ~~

Hi,
The logical path you have provided might be incorrect or you might not have the necessary authorization to read/write on that folder.
Please check the folder in transaction AL11 & check whether you have the authorization to read/write. BASIS consultant would be able to tell you about it.
Best regards,

Hi!
You didn't find answer for this, because it is not possible. If you run your program in background, it is running on the server, and does not have any connection to your local machine. That's why you can't upload/download in background mode.
You might try to address somehow your local PC, with its IP or MAC address, but I don't think does this task worth so much time.
Run your program in online mode, or if you want to run it in background, then upload your file into the SAP server.

Download business document (T-code: OAOR) in background mode

I have attached a file to a production order and it is saved as a business document. From t-code OAOR (business document navigator), I can view the attachment (or directly from the production order).
I would like to download the attachment in background mode. Up to now, I only find a method export_attachment in the ABAP object cl_gos_document_service which can download the attachment in frontend.
Is there any ABAP object / FM which can cater this? Or please kindly suggest what can I do in order to achieve this. Your help is greatly appreciatedly. Thanks!
Below is the material that I can find in this forum
Re: Sales Order Attachment

check out this weblog.

Issue in Background mode -Excel downloading using typepool OLE2

Hi ,
I am working a report using OLE type pool.
Based on conditions the colors should display in excel sheet. As its displaying the colors correctly.
Issue:
1) How we will execute the OLE download in back ground
as i am using the below code as visible '0', if Visible '1'. the file is executing in fore ground and viewing the records.
SET PROPERTY OF H_EXCEL 'Visible' = 0 "in background
Issue: But again there is a wait until the excel is downloaded completely. How can we avoid it is ,If we run in backgroundu2026.it doesn't create the file. What could be done such that user opts for excel output and should not wait on screen.
Please let me know any option OLE to get the file in background with out waiting in selection screen.

Hi samruth,
The function of ABAP/4 OLE Automation Controller is to connect to Desktop applications supporting OLE2 that can be thus be called from R/3.
In background, there is no Desktop.
Thats it.
There is this really interesting [abap2xlsx|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/abap2xlsx] project. If you are prepared to forget OLE then this is the way to go.

Clemens
