Ability to schedule a report to run in background but No access to transact

Hi,
I want to give users ability to schedule a report to run in background but No access to transaction Sm37.
What can be the process/steps to work and morever if we do this is there any disadvantages that users
can face later...

Sorry, I misread your question - thinking that the report should only be run in the background.
I agree with the others (also about SMX and SMXX to display their own jobs, but not change them afterwards), but which report (tree) is this?
You can still give the user an ability to maintain a variant via transaction VARCH though (no execute possibility) . It will check S_PROGRAM p_action VARIANT or look for a user specific protection flag.
But then the user can submit it online as well from other transactions. That is why I thought you were looking for a way to run it as low priority in the background only.
Cheers,
Julius

  • Schedule a report to run in background

    Hi all,
    I have a report that has a selection screen .
    When i schedule this report as a background job , it is cancelled : "cannot perform frontend function in batch input mode " ??
    I created a variant and in the job step specified the variant name ...!! would appreciate if anyone can tell how to schedule the report to run as background job ?

    Hi,
    Ok in this case there can be too options.
    1) either take file from the shared network and put it in your presentation server and then take it into application server ( this is manual by using CG3z)and then execute your program in background
    2) or you will have to code using FTP commands
    First connect using FM FTP_COMMAND. you will ahve to use commands like mget etc
    Once connected then pass command using FM
    FTP_COMMAND
    Then get the files Data into Internal table via FTP server which can be done using
    FM FTP_SERVER_TO_R3
    once done use the back ground processing
    Make sure that there is R/3 connection mainained using SM59.

  • Function module needed to schedule a report to run in background.

    Hi,
    I am in need of a basis fm ro schedule a report to run in the background.
    There exists a function group BTCH with fm MINI_JOB_WIZARD which is what I need.The problem is that all the import parameters is mandatory
    IN_JOBNAME
    IN_REPVARNT
    IN_REPORT
    The problem with the above fm is that it requires a report variant which my report doesnt have since my report has no selection screens.
    Can you please suggest me any alternative fms which does the above wizard like stuff without the annoyance of supplying a variant .
    Thanks

    Hi Brian,
    Looking at the error, the server is not able to get to the data source. If you are using ODBC, make sure the server machine has access to the file.
    The exception is coming from your ODBC driver.

  • Can we schedule a report to run in  foreground daily

    Hi,
    I want to run a report in foreground daily.I know this can be done in background but i want to schedule in foreground. Can we schedule a report for running on daily basis. I am getting a dump if i do this in background job.Plz reply me.
    regards,
    Kumar

    Hi !
    In theory you could try the following:
    - Installa a Windows scheduling software such as
      http://www.databecker.de/pc_zeitschaltuhr.html
      on a specific PC
    - Try to create a frontend-schedule to start SAP_GUI
      (i.e. via shortcut with USER/PWD set) and execute the
       report.
    That may work.
    There is a 10-Day trial-download of
    http://www.databecker.de/pc_zeitschaltuhr.html
    so you yould just try it.
    Th site is in german so you may "Google-translate" it.

    Some points would be fine if that helped...

  • How to Schedule a Report to Run on a Specific Business Day and Not on the Weekend

    Hi,
    Is there a way to schedule a Webi report to run on a specific Business Day? For example, if I wanted a report to run on the 3rd day of every month, but when the 3rd day for a particular month landed on a Saturday or Sunday, then Monday would automatically be chosen instead. Is that possible?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    You can do that by selecting the calendar option while scheduling the report and manually selecting the 3rd day of every month and when the 3rd day for a particular month landed on a Saturday or Sunday, then select the next Monday.
    I dont see any option available for this scenario directly in BO.

  • How Warehouse Activity Monitor LL01 Report is Running in background?

    Hi Gurus,
    I am Working in IMWM are & giving support. Client is facing problem with this Report, as this report is not running frequently as per scheduled in Configuration settings. for e.g after 4 hrs or after 12 hrs or 1 week etc.
    Does any body know how this program is running in background?
    Do I need to create any Batch Job for this?
    As per our developer no need of Batch job, it has to run automatically. So if anybody know this, please let me know ASAP. We need to submit solution to client.
    thanks & regards,
    Anant Joshi

    Hi,
    Maybe I'm mistaken but I can't see any sense of running LL01 as background job. I think users have to run the report themselves, and it is possible to refresh it in the report itself or by running it again.
    Please check (run) the transaction in SAP and check SAP online help:
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/c6/f83aa34afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    The functions of the warehouse activity monitor are intended to assist warehouse administrators to oversee, plan and optimize work processes in the warehouse.
    This report requires users' interaction so, I can't understand what you want to achieve.

  • How can we know weather a report is running in background or foreground?

    Is there any system variable to find it?

    Hi Adiseshi,
    You can check the value of the system variable SY-BATCH. If it contains the value 'X' it is running in background else in foreground.
