Abap parameters to perform program in background service

Hi Guys,
we created a Z program, where into it we call a standard function module.
This Z program is executed by user in DIALOG process, in a Z screen created. When user clicks on button, it starts this standard function module XXX. We need that this XXX standard function module to be executed as BACKGROUND process.
Follow the ABAP code running the function module:
CALL FUNCTION 'xxx' IN BACKGROUND TASK
We though that this would run the task as BACKGROUND process, however, the SM50 transaction shows that this FM is running on DIALOG service. We guess the reason for that is because the program is using the same DIALOG process as button that triggers the function module.
Someone knows other parameter to force the FM to be performed in background even it we already set it in the program. Is there other call type to force it? I mean, we want to disassociate the Z execution using dialog service for FM can be performed as background.
Thanks in advance

Is the Function Module remote enable function module or Normal Function Module?
For executing in Backgorund Task it should be Remote enabled.

Easy Job Scheduling Using BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE
To schedule a job from within a program using the express method, you need only call the BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE function module.
The express method has the following characteristics:
Simplified job structure: The function module schedules a job that includes only a single job step.
The function module uses default values for most job-processing options. You cannot, for example, specify a target printer as part of the call to the function module. Instead, the job step uses the print defaults of the scheduling user.
Only ABAP reports can be scheduled. You must use the "full-control" method to start external programs.
The range of start-time options is restricted. Event-based scheduling is not supported.
The function module works as follows:
You name the report that is to be scheduled in your call to the function module.
The function module displays a list of variants to the user. The user must select a variant for the report.
You must ensure that the variants required by your users have already been defined.
The user picks either "immediate start" or enters a start date and start time. Optionally, the user can also make the job restart periodically. The job is then scheduled.
Example
You could use the following code to let users schedule report RSTWGZS2 for checking on the status of online documentation:
call function 'BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE'
exporting
title_name = 'Documentation Check' " Displayed as title of
" of scheduling screens
job_name = 'DocuCheck' " Name of background
" processing job
prog_name = 'RSTWGZS2' " Name of ABAP
" report that is to be
" run -- used also to
" select variants
exceptions
no_such_report = 01. " PROG_NAME program
" not found.
call function 'BP_JOBVARIANT_OVERVIEW' " List the jobs that
exporting " have been scheduled
title_name = 'Documentation Check' " Displayed as title
" of overview screen
job_name = 'DokuCheck' " Jobs with this name
" are listed
prog_name = 'RSTWGZS2'
exceptions
no_such_job = 01.

Creative Cloud background service constantly uses high-performance graphics card on MacBook Pro

On my MacBook Pro mid-2010, I recently noticed that the high-performance graphics card for some reason was constantly on. In MacBooks as of 2009, there are two graphics cards that can be used, one integrated, one PCIe. The integrated one is less powerful, but is used to preserve battery. The other one is enabled when there is a high demand for graphics power.
I saw that when the Creative Cloud service (with this I mean the general software package that tracks for updates and syncs fonts and files) was loaded into the system, the MacBook automatically starts using this high-performance graphics card, even without any other software running, just freshly from boot. This, of course, drains battery and I don't think that much power is needed to run a background service. The only way to stop the high-performance graphics card from kicking in, is by terminating the complete Creative Cloud service, which is of course not very useful when you use the sync feature a lot.
Is there a solution for this problem, or can you release an update of the software that addressess this issue?
If I need to provide you with logs or other relevant information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance, it's kind of annoying as it is now.
Ruben Delil

Same here. Macbook Retina 15", purchased earlier this year.
Nice (and free) utility to monitor GPU-usage is:
gfxCardStatus from http://gfx.io/
Helped me to notice that it's better to quit Photoshop if not using it because it still uses the nVidia GPU if Photoshop is not even the active application (eg. running in the background).
But still, sometimes after closing Photoshop, gfxCardStatus says that nVidia GPU is in use for process 'Creative Cloud'.
I'm mostly running on battery and nVidia GPU consumes much, much more battery than the integrated, Intel HD Graphics 4000 so this is a big issue for me.

When I excute the same program in the foreground, Attachment in the mail is showing all the pages of the report output.
But when I excute the same program in the background only last page is shown in the mail attachemnt.
I think the problem is with the function module SAVE_LIST function module.
I replaced the SAVE_LIST function module with LIST_TO_MEMORY and LIST_FROM_MEMORY function modules.
It is also giving the same result.
In the foreground excution email attachemnt showing all the pages and in the background excution only last page is shown in the attachemnt.
I want all the pages dispalyed in the background mode excution in the email attachment.
How to slove this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Now i want to call this program from another program that is already exists by using SUBMIT
statement in background and i need to process this program by dividing records by 1000 into seperate session.
how can i do it. Can any body tell me the solution with syntax.
I might get lot of records from above program so i want to split them into diffrent sessions based on number of records(1000).
can any body give me the solution.
Thanks in advance.

Call external program in background mode

Hi,
I am creating a PO using bapi BAPI_PO_CREATE1 in exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
I dont want to write the code in my exit. Instead I want to write the code in a Z program and call it in my exit.
My Problem.
How do I call my z program in my exit so that I can pass internal tables from my exit to the z program. Also I want to schedule the call of my external program for background processing.
I am trying with SUBMIT ZPROG AND RETURN. But not able to pass an internal table.
I tried PERFORM BAPI_PO_CREATE IN PRGRAM ZPROG, but in this case not able to schedule it in background.
Please advise.

How to set the BDC Call transaction Program in Background

Hi All,
 I have a requirement. If i execute a BDC Call Transaction Program in Background it is showing 0 seconds means it is not executing. Normally it is working properly. If execute in background it is not executing. But my client wnats to execute in background. How can i overcome this could you please suggest me?
Thanks in Advance

hi
To schedule the processing of session in backgroud you can use report RSBDCSUB.
You can do in two ways -
Ist Method
Define a batch job in SM36 with two steps -
First Step - Your Custom Program ( with a variant )
Second Step - RSBDCSUB ( With a variant having
the session name ).
2nd Method
In your program after BDC_CLOSE_GROUP add a line.
SUBMIT RSBDCSUB WITH MAPPE EQ <SESSION_NAME>.
Scedule you program as a batch job in SM36 ( Single Step ). ( You can also test the program by running in online mode . After your programs executes , go and see in SM35. You will see that your session created in being processed or has been processed in background).
In Both ways the session created by BDC_OPEN_GROUP will be processed in background
You would have to create a job on the fly to do this. This example shows how to kick off a background job via an ABAP program.
report zrich_0004 .
data: sdate type sy-datum,
 stime type sy-uzeit,
 l_valid,
 ls_params like pri_params,
 l_jobcount like tbtcjob-jobcount,
 l_jobname like tbtcjob-jobname.
start-of-selection.
Get Print Parameters
call function 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
 exporting
 no_dialog = 'X'
 importing
 valid = l_valid
 out_parameters = ls_params.
Open Job
l_jobname = 'ZRICH_0005'.
call function 'JOB_OPEN'
 exporting
 jobname = l_jobname
 importing
 jobcount = l_jobcount.
Submit report to job
submit zrich_0005
 via job l_jobname
 number l_jobcount
 to sap-spool without spool dynpro
 spool parameters ls_params
 and return.
Schedule and close job.
call function 'JOB_CLOSE'
 exporting
 jobcount = l_jobcount
 jobname = l_jobname
 strtimmed = 'X.

Execute program in background(Scheduled)

Hi guyz
I want to execute a program on every last friday of the month. It should be scheduled automatically in back ground with out any manual interruption. Is there any way i can do that?
Thanks

Hi Satya,
For executing jobs in non-interactive mode, schedule the job for background processing. To create a background processing job you should specify:
The name of the report
The name of any variant it needs
What to do with output
When to start it
After this, the SAP system does not require users intervention and can proceed with the job even without you. It executes the report and prints the output using printer or output controller. While scheduling a job in background process, three parameters should be specified. These parameters are:
Definition of programs
Its start time
The printing specification for getting the prints as required
After this, you can check whether your job was executed successfully and display a log of any system messages.
For scheduling background processing, you have to direct the system to process an ABAP/4 or external program in the background. This is a two-step process:
Scheduling the program
Releasing the job
This needs to have a special authorization for releasing and scheduling the job. Generally, the system administrator, who organizes and monitors background processing, supervises the release of these jobs. Many users are also authorized to schedule background processing of reports. You cannot schedule a job unless and until you have a release authorization. If a user is authorized and has specified a start date or selected "start immediately," he or she can release the job.
Authorized users can change start time. A program can be scheduled as a separate job or you can append it to an existing job, which has not yet been processed. Background process can be run while doing some other online work. However, this can adversely affect online operation and should be avoided. For example, if you run a program that locks the database, the work of online users will be hampered or stopped. Often, long-running reports are scheduled automatically or semi-automatically for background processing.
First Step
Initiate the job scheduling function. Standard job scheduling must be used in case of scheduling of an external command or external program as a background job and ABAP job scheduling function can be used to schedule ABAP programs. For starting a standard job scheduling function choose the following:
Administration menu bar option à CCMS option à Jobs option à Definition option.
For starting ABAP job scheduling function, navigate to ABAP Editor and choose Program menu bar option àExecute option à Background option.
Second Step
Now define a job. Using the Job Wizard you can define your job. From the Application toolbar, choose the wizard button. After this, the initial screen of the SAP Job Wizard appears. The Job Wizard is available only from the standard job scheduling function.
Third Step
Now, you have to save the job. When it displays the message "Job saved" it means the job has been successfully scheduled. We know that a job must be released before it is scheduled. Only authorized users can release the job, otherwise your system administrator will release your job.
Fourth Step
This is the last step of scheduling. In this step you have to check the status of your job. For this you need to choose System menu bar option à Own jobs option.
In SAP System, the background processing runs according to your instructions. In case a list is generated by the report, the report either prints directly or waits for you in the SAP output controller. The status of background processing can be checked for its correctness.
I think this will help you.
If so then award the points.
Thanks and regards

Programattically? You can add this code to the end of your transaction(if it is custom, of course).

* Submit report to job
submit <your_program_name
 via job l_jobname
 number l_jobcount
 to sap-spool without spool dynpro

 and return.
* Kick job off 10 seconds from now.

Schedule Module program in Background with Dynamic Input values ?

Hi,
I am trying a schedule a Standard Transaction which has Month,year and other Check boxes (By default they are Empty) .I need to schedule it monthly and Input must change dynamically when I run in background each month..
How do we do this?
Regards
Vara
Message was edited by: Vara K

You can not directly schedule a module pool program in background job. These are usually reports. What you can do is create a custom report program with your parameters on a selection screen. In this program you can do a BDC over the standard transaction filling the parameters from the selection screen of the custom program. This custom program can also have a selection screen variant which uses selection variables that will change dynamically. Then you can schedule the custom report program via SM36.
