Getting the variant name when the report program is run in background

Hi All,
How to get the variant name for the report program when run in background? My requirement is to create an email attachement with the name 'variant.XLS', where variant = selection screen variant, when the report program is run in background. The system field SY-SLSET holds the variant name only when run online.
Any pointers to this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Nilesh.

Hello Nilesh,
Please find the algo:
1. Call the FM: GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO to get the background job details.
2. Select data from TBTCP using these details:

      STEPCOUNT               = FP_STEPCNT
    EXCEPTIONS
      NO_RUNTIME_INFO         = 1
      OTHERS                  = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
*   Error calling FM: GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO
ENDIF.
DATA: FP_VARIANT TYPE BTCVARIANT.
SELECT JOBNAME JOBCOUNT STEPCOUNT VARIANT
FROM   TBTCP
INTO TABLE L_IT_TBTCP
WHERE JOBNAME   = FP_JOBNM
AND    JOBCOUNT = FP_JOBCNT
AND    STEPCOUNT = FP_STEPCNT.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    SORT L_IT_TBTCP BY JOBNM JOBCNT STEPCNT.
    READ TABLE L_IT_TBTCP INTO L_WA_TBTCP INDEX 1.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      FP_VARIANT = L_WA_TBTCP-VARIANT.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps.

Hi
When i run a program in foreground i am able to see the output. But when run in background not able to run the job successfully. The job is getting cancelled immediately.
I am using the below function module for output display. Should i need to pass any parameters in the below function module so that i can run the program in background successfully.
CALL METHOD DETAIL_GRID->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
      EXPORTING
        IS_LAYOUT         = IS_LAYOUT
        I_SAVE            = 'A'

Please suggest.
Thanks and regards

Hi Rajani.
ALV require the DRYPOR(screen) for display but incase you run in back ground which have to write to spool but in spool we can only write in format of LIST REPORT not inter-active report like ALV. That why
system cancelled your process immediately.
Hope it helps.

ABAP program to run in Background job

Hi,
We have a custumized program (SO Creation) calling some functions (like: WS_QUERY, WS_UPLOAD, WS_DOWNLOAD, CREATE_TEXT and CALL TRANSACTION VA01) and can only run thru dialog process (foreground). Is it possible to convert it to something that can run thru background job?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi Deo ,
Unfortunately cl_gui_frontend_services will not work in background.
Please have a look at following information about cl_gui_frontend_services :
The class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES contains static methods for the following areas:
File functions
Directory functions
Registry
Environment
Write to / read from clipboard
Upload / download files
Execute programs / open documents
Query functions, such as Windows directory, Windows version, and so on
Standard dialogs (open, save, directory selection)
To Use this, you should be bit familier with OO ABAP Concepts. So I will suggest you to go through with OO concepts of ABAP. It will be of great help to you.

How to reopen window in a program which runs in background

Hello,
I created a program, which runs in the background(when you start it, doesn't open a window). It has a notify icon and by double click opens a window. I open the window with ShowDialog() method. After I close it, I cannot reopen it. It says: "Cannot
set Visibility or call Show or ShowDialog after window has closed". What should I do?
Thanks!

When you say you can't re-open it.
Exactly what are you doing to show and hide it?
And what do you do to show it again?
Actually, I can probably guess roughly what you're doing.
Are you trying to show a window you closed without instantiating it again?
Are you effectively doing something like:
Window win = new MainWindow();
win.Show(); ....
win.Close();
win.Show();
Because you should do
Window win = new MainWindow();
win.Show();...
win.Hide();
win.Show();
Once you close it, that's it you're done with that window. It's on the garbage heap waiting for the garbage collector to come along and recycle it.
It is no more.
Either hide() rather than close() or instantiate a new object each time.
Hope that helps.

Difference in runtime of a program when run in background vs foreground

Hi,
Is running the program in background would result to better performance in terms of speed compared to foreground? If yes, what's the reason behind.
Thanks!

Hi Advait,

sorry... an ABAP program will NOT run faster in background.
As could be seen from your link:
- a program in background does not have a timout limit
- a program in background can use a different memory allocation sequence (depends on configuration)
and may be able to allocate more memory than a foreground program (depends on configuration as well)
but it will not run faster... .
Kind regards,

How to see if invisible program is running in background?

Hello,
I'm trying to help my friend who has an iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Her email and Facebook keep getting "hacked", and even though she changes the passwords to long and complex things that nobody could ever guess, someone is still able to figure out her passwords. The only way we think this could be happening is if someone broke into her home and put some type of "keystroke capture" program so that they could look at it while she's at work and get her passwords that way. We simply can not come up with any other way that her passwors are being discovered, and unfortunately we think it's a jealous ex-wife that is doing this.
I seem to recall in Snow Leopard that there is a way to see what is running in order to see how much memory is being taken by each task or program on the computer, but I don't recall where to go on the computer to monitor that information. Can someone please point me to where that information is, and if you have any other advice on how to check to see if a program is running without her knowledge, I would sure appreciate any input.
Thank you very much!

Great---thank you very much. I actually do recognize everything there, so we are baffled as to what's going on.
Thanks again!

ALV List export to Excel when program is run in background

Hello,
I am running into an issue with a custom ALV report which contains an export to Excel option on the input screen. However, when I attempt to run the report in background due to high volume of records/expected performance constraints, the job fails to produce a spool when the "export to Excel" option is selected. When I deselect that option, the background job successfully generates a spool, which I can then export to Excel (albeit the formatting will not look the same).
Is the above an accurate statement or does anyone know of a way where either;
1) The background job can create and store the Excel output into a cached directory?
2) The spool generated, when exported to Excel, can match the format of the foreground Excel output?
Thanks in advancce.

Wrapper program when run in background not generating SPOOL

I have created Program A which calls internally Program B or C based on the condition. When I run the program B or C independently in Background it generates the spool on completion. But When I run the program A in Background, Spool is not getting generated.
My requirement is that Spool should be generated when Program A is executed in Background.
Below is the code of program A:

How to Identify program is running in background or Foreground mode?

Hello Experts,
I have developed on Z report and from this report BDC for Transaction CO11 is runnning using CALL TRANSACTION statement.
On Selection screen there is a option for selecting the BDC mode either in Background or Forground or Error mode.
My question is:- how do I recognize this selected BDC mode in the function exit ZXMBCU02.
This exit triggers when transaction CO11 runs.
Because based on the selected BDC mode i have to apply some logic in this exit.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Jagesh

Hi Jagesh...
You can do the following..
1. Export the Batch Input Mode in to ABAP memory using the EXPORT statement.
2. Import that value in the user exit.
3. To execute your code only if its batch input mode, use the field SY-BINPT.
You can also check if this structure "BDCRUN" is used in that program, b'cas this is contained in the VA01 an VA02 transacation, this would contain all the data.
CALL FUNCTION 'BDC_RUNNING'
       IMPORTING
            bi_info = bi_info
       EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS = 1.
bi_info will contain all the data.
GET PARAMETER ID 'SD_BACKGROUND_DEBUG' FIELD background_debug.

Pradeep.

You can put a lock on the program inside the program, so that when it is run it puts a lock entry in SM12, then anyone trying to run it will get a message saying that the program is locked. USe the TRDIR lock object.

Check the value of system variable sy-batch. if value of it is 'X' that means program is running in background and if value is ' '(blank) that means prog. is executing in foreground mode.

   do.
     if a = 'X'.
