  • Hi regarding back ground jobs

    I have a report which is scheduled to run 2 times in the background.
    here i am using OO ALV when to display output when run in back ground.
    but i am getting an error when the same report is run in the back ground, stating there is a problem with the object references.
    but one of my friend tried it and is successful to run in the background but another problem, when run in foreground 10 records are displayed and when run in background only 2 records are displayed for the same criteria.in both the cases i am sending the output to the file on appl server.
    pls help me its urgent.
    pionts are assured.

    Ravi,
    I have faced the same problem when I schedule the job in background.
    When the report was run in forground, it gives expected results, and when it run in background, it will supress some fields and disply the report output.
    This problem, I have debugged it and corrected, and its application specific I can say, cant conclude it  by seeing the problem, needs to do much research and fix it up.

  • Regarding back ground job scheduling

    Hi,
        one of our program was sheduled for back ground job, by another user, so just i need to knwo when this job is sheduled and it is executing daily, so, i need to knwo whether he has created a background job through , sm36, or through a program, how could i found it out.
    thanks in advance.

    It is difficult to say. But if you can go to SM37 and check the log of the JOB it will dispaly you some messages.
    This might help you.

  • Regarding back ground job sheduling

    hi,
    could u plz clear my issu
             i am running a report which i want to shedule in back ground by writing the code within in that program.
    very urgent

    There are two ways for you to handle,
    one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
    secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
    Find below steps in doing both:
    Procedure 1:
    1. Goto Trans -> SM36
    2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
    3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
    4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
    5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
    6. Next click on Period Values
    7. Select "Other Period"
    8. Now give '15' for Minutes
    9. Save the job
    In SM37 u can check the status of the jobs that u have assigned to background...
    Here u mention the job name or the report name to check the status of the job...
    After mentioning the job name or program name u just execute it.. ( without any name also u can execute then it gives u all the jobs set by your user name..
    the status colud be released,active,finished etc..

  • Regarding Back ground reports

    Hi,
    is it possible to get the o/p in alv-grid while executing in background
    if so can any one plz explain points will be rewarded for sure..
    thanks in advanace

    Hi
    Many a times there is a requirement to display ALV Grid (not ALV List) in the background Job. I have checked the SDN Forum for the same and it has been mentioned that ALV Grid cannot be displayed in Background, but the list output of ALV is possible. So user won’t have the actual Grid interface but the List interface.
    There is a workaround to display ALV Grid in Background Job. The only restriction is you can’t schedule the job through SM36. You need to execute the transaction of the report program, fill in the selection screen data and hit Execute.
    The job would be executed in background. User will be able to see the Job Log and Job Status after executing the program. User doesn’t have to go to SM37 to view the job status/log. Once the Job Status is changed to “COMPLETED”, user can click on “DISPLAY SPOOL” to view the ALV Grid.

  • Back Ground Job not Working

    Hi,
    I have watched all the threads regarding Back Ground job like SE36 & SE37. I have given a back ground job and its not working.
    Its an ABAP Program which is creating an OLEDB Connection to MSACCESS and then retrieving and updating database table. The program is working very fine on foreground but when it is given to back ground job then it shows that the program is running, i mean in delay the time is ticking. But at last it is canceled by the system.
    What's the thing i am missing or what should i do here? I have already set my program at high priority.

  • Regarding bdc back ground job

    hi,
              i want to run the bdc from the program itself  not using any transaction
              could u plz tell me the syntex clearly with comments.
          very urgent plz.

    Hi,
    The name Batch Input Session itself tells u that a batch session will be craeted and u have to run it manually.
    Automatically it will not get executed.
    Go for ''call  transaction'' to execute it immediately...
    However if u want to use Batchinput session method, then u have to capture teh session name first and then u can run that Session in the back ground by creating the 'Background job' by sm36.
    Cheers,

    On SM37 screen there is plenty of options are there:
    This is what i got from SAP help
    Explanation for each selection field:                                                                               
    o   Jobname: Name of the job as an identifier.                                                                               
    o   Username: Name of the user who designed and planned the job.                                                                               
    o   Start date: The start condition of the job, which could be a time 
    frame or an event that the job is waiting for. Specifying both will   
    yield jobs whose starting condition is  either of the two             
    conditions.                                                                               
    ABAP program step: Name of an ABAP program that acts as a step in a   
    job.                                                                               
    Status selection: The current status of the job. By default, the      
    SCHEDULED option is not marked. To see the scheduled jobs, you must   
    explicitly check this.
    also give the proper values in Job Satus also.
