Again on background task but on 925 (amber)

I read lots of messages about background tasks on windows phone, most answers were about disabling them by settings-applications... but nokia 925 with amber do not have "applications" in the settings menu.
any idea ?

No need to apologise my friend Learning a new operating system can take a bit of time, especially when going from Symbian to WP8. Hope you enjoy your new phone.

Windows 8.1 background task Javascript - Call angular controller function from task js

Hi,
The Ionic Side menu starter template for windows 8.1 is a very good option to run the ionic apps on Windows 8.1 phones.
I am not sure whether this is related to Ionic/angular or VS2013 CTP 3.1 but if anyone can give some tips ,that would be great. I registered a background task as per the VS tutorial (Run JS task in background) and i tested it with windows toast notifications.However
my requirement is to access webservice in background which I am not able to implement.
The setup for background task is path to the js file but my requirement is to call a function defined within a controller.Is there any way i can access the controller function from an outside js file.I am new to Ionic,Angular and VS 2013.Any help would be great
The structure of background task js file is as below
(function() {
--- I need to call my controller/service function here---
var notifications = Windows.UI.Notifications;
var template = notifications.ToastTemplateType.toastImageAndText01;
var toastXml = notifications.ToastNotificationManager.getTemplateContent(template);
var toast = new notifications.ToastNotification(toastXml);
var toastTextElements = toastXml.getElementsByTagName("text");
toastTextElements[0].appendChild(toastXml.createTextNode("From Background!"));
var toastNotifier = notifications.ToastNotificationManager.createToastNotifier();
toastNotifier.show(toast);
close();

Are there any updates on this issue? I'm currently seeing this on a Lumia 822 with WP8.1, and the app has never been published to the store. I've only ever deployed the app from Visual Studio to my device. It worked when deploying the Debug build, then I
tried a Release build, and it crashed immediately upon launch when trying to register the background task, but then I was able to go back to deploying/debugging the Debug build on the device for awhile. I made more changes, and now neither Debug nor Release
builds work--both fail on the BackgroundTaskBuilder.Register() call with the error described in the original question:
"The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070019)"
I've tried changing the Task name during registration, rev-ing the version number of the application, adding the call to BackgroundExecutionManager.RemoveAccess() before BackgroundExecutionManager.RequestAccessAsync(), changing the name of the IBackgroundTask
concrete implementation and changing the corresponding EntryPoint in the package.appxmanifest (as well as in the BackgroundTaskBuilder instance), and changing the package DisplayName to a new reserved name, all to no avail. The only thing I didn't try
was associating with an entirely new app in the app store or paving my phone, as these are both fairly undesirable "workarounds."
Even if this won't affect clients downloading the app from the store, this is a major roadblock during development, as we can essentially only use the emulator to test an app specifically designed to help solve problems involving moving around physically
in the real world.
Any more information would be greatly appreciated. If there's any information I can provide, please let me know.

RFC IN BACKGROUND TASK

Hai all,
I created RFC 'ZBAPI_BACKPROCES' .
And Im using this RFC in my ABAP program.
BUT I having to call this FUNCTION MODULE in background Task .But I dont know how its working and also this FM does not returning any values.
Can anyone Say example with explaination (how its working).
Thanks In Advance.
regards,
Ekadevi.S

Here's a good explanation of the RFC types:

Background task SystemTriggerType.SmsReceived won't triggered

I'm testing tasks in background windows phone 8.1 but the trigger SystemTriggerType.SmsReceived is not working for me . Has anyone managed to make it work ?
I used
this example of the MS background task , but only the original version worked.
Replaces this:
var task = BackgroundTaskSample.RegisterBackgroundTask ( BackgroundTaskSample.SampleBackgroundTaskEntryPoint, BackgroundTaskSample.SampleBackgroundTaskName , new SystemTrigger ( SystemTriggerType.TimeZoneChange , false) ,null) ;
On This :
var task = BackgroundTaskSample.RegisterBackgroundTask (BackgroundTaskSample.SampleBackgroundTaskEntryPoint, BackgroundTaskSample.SampleBackgroundTaskName , new SystemTrigger ( SystemTriggerType.SmsReceived , false) ,null) ;

The limit on SMS functionality is shown on the SMS integration namespace details page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/windows.devices.sms.aspx
As for getting support for this feature if you are a provider you'll perhaps have a local Microsoft contact for that kind of stuff.

Calling RFC enabled FM IN BACKGROUND TASK

Hi Frnds,
I have a requirement where in I need to call a FM which executes 'VA02' BDC in some user exit.
Since this has to be executed after the commit work is executed in the calling program i am using the background mode.
something like below,
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_SD_AVAILABILITY_CHECK_BDC'
    IN BACKGROUND TASK
    DESTINATION 'NONE'
    TABLES
      t_vbap = xvbap.
This above FM is RFC enabled.
And this FM is also called successfully and VA02 is executed without any error. But the FM's session does not get killed after its executed completly. Instead it creates another session of the same FM and executes the BDC again. This is goion on and on and multiple sessions are created at the end.
Am I missing something here? Do I have to include the Performing RETURN_INFO ON END OF TASK also?
Please give ur suggestions.
regards,
Karthick C

Hi,
Check the SM58 to see how many calls are there. It might be that the function is called multiple times every time the user exit is triggered. So put a break point in the user exit and check that the function is actually only called once per transaction.
As the SAP help says that the calls are stored in the tables ARFCSSTATE and ARFCSDATA, it might be worth checking the entries of this table for the function calls before the transaction commit work is executed. See [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8e/d05f3ce4dd3370e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]

Background location updates with the help of background task in ios

Hi,
we are building a navigation application, that updates location in background. The application receives location updates while in background by using CLLocation manager delegates. In order to reduce battery usage we take updates only on regular intervals say 5 min. For this are using NSTimer to fire an event that starts location update, fetch location and stop location updates for next 5 mins. This approach works well in foreground. But once the application is background this fails. When application fetches the location and stops the location updates for first time, the app gets suspended and never fires event to start location manger for subsequent times.
The solution we found, for keeping the timer alive is to track it using a background task. This way even if the location updates are stopped for a particular interval the application stays live to keep the timer running. My question is, is this method, a good approach for timed location updates in background states. Is this approach in any way prone to app store rejection as the 'background tasks' are designed to serve other specific scenarios.
Please share your thoughts on these

Bill & stephen,
Not much help I'm afraid, but I just saw your post & wanted to let you know that I have the same problem, but for me it manifests itself in many apps. The only thing I've noticed is that it only seems to happen when I first start typing after not using the keyboard for a while (I'm not sure how long a while is, but maybe 30 seconds or so). Then I'll type & the first few letters will be fine, and then one letter double-types, and then it's fine again until I stop using it for whatever the threshold amount of time is. I'm guessing that it has something to do with the iPad's battery management & that it's shutting off the connection to the keyboard or something & once it picks it back up, then it double-types that letter.
At least in Pages, it isn't as big of a deal because I know it's coming, I can correct it & then type for a long time. In Numbers, my keyboard use is much less consistent, so I need to be more cognisant of it.

Function module not working when used with 'In Background Task'

hi,
this is my code
call function 'Z_IBD_FILL_ZINETACT'
              in background task
              destination 'SAPD220125'
              tables
                  it_net1 = it_net1
                  it_net2 = it_net2
                  it_net3 = it_net3 .
when this code is executed i am not getting any data in my internal tables i.e it_net1, it_net2, and it_net3
but i changed this code see the below code
      call function 'Z_IBD_FILL_ZINETACT'
             in background task (THIS IS COMMENTED)
              destination 'SAPD220125'
              tables
                  it_net1 = it_net1
                  it_net2 = it_net2
                  it_net3 = it_net3 .
now i am getting data into my internal tables
can any one tell me what can be the problem and how to solve it in my case
its very urgent

Hi,
Pls. go through the docu..
CALL FUNCTION
Variant 5
CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.
Additions:
1. ... AS SEPARATE UNIT
2. ... DESTINATION dest
3. ... EXPORTING p1 = f1    ... pn = fn
4. ... TABLES     p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
Effect
Flags the function module func to be run asynchronously. It is not executed at once, but the data passed with EXPORTING or TABLES is placed in a database table and the next COMMIT WORK executes it in another work process.
Note
This variant applies only as of Release 3.0, so both the client system and the server system must be Release 3.0 or higher.
Note
qRFC with Outbound Queue
This is an extension of tRFC. The tRFC is serialized using queues, ensuring that the sequence of LUWs required by the application is observed when the calls are sent.
For further information about qRFC, refer to the Serialized RFC: qRFC With Outbound Queue section of the SAP Library.
Addition 1
... AS SEPARATE UNIT
Effect
Executes the function module in a separate LUW under a new transaction ID.
Addition 2
... DESTINATION dest
Effect
Executes the function module externally as a Remote Function Call (RFC); dest can be a literal or a variable.
Depending on the specified destination, the function module is executed either in another R/3 System or as a C-implemented function module. Externally callable function modules must be flagged as such in the Function Builder (of the target system).
Since each destination defines its own program context, further calls to the same or different function modules with the same destination can access the local memory (global data) of these function modules.
Note
Note that a database commit occurs at each Remote Function Call (RFC). Consequently, you may not use Remote Function Calls between pairs of statements that open and close a database cursor (such as SELECT ... ENDSELECT).
Addition 3
... EXPORTING p1 = f1 ... pn = fn
Effect
EXPORTING passes values of fields and field strings from the calling program to the function module. In the function module, formal parameters are defined as import parameters. Default values must be assigned to all import parameters of the function module in the interface definition.
Addition 4
... TABLES p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
Effect
TABLES passes references to internal tables. All table parameters of the function module must contain values.
Notes
If several function module calls with the same destination are specified before COMMIT WORK, these normally form an LUW in the target system. Calls with the addition 1 are an exception to this rule - they each have their own LUW.
You cannot specify type 2 destinations (R/3 - R/2 connections).
(See Technical details and Administration transaction.)

User WF_BATCH dumps with TIME_OUT for a background task

Hello,
Situation :
While executing a workflow with a task defined as background task, the workflow creates a dump in ST22 after around 40 minutes. dump is because of TIME_OUT exception. And the workflow stays in status InProcess forever.
Question:
In my opinion background tasks do not have a time limit because they are executed as backgound batch jobs with batch user WF_BATCH. Then why do I get a TIME_OUT error ?
Is my assumption that workflow background task are just handled like other background jobs (sm36) is wrong ?
More Details :
I have a workflow with a task defined as background task (Task -> Basic Data -> Execution -> Check box 'Background processing' selected).
This task calls a method defined as 'Synchronous' method.
This method calls a ABAP FM having a select statement which selects large volume of Data.
If I execute this FM in Dialog mode definately I get a TIME_OUT. I understand this.
But what I do not understand is , while executing in background I do not expect TIME_OUT error since background jobs do not have a time limit. They can even run for several days.
Please let me know in what cases does a background job throws a time_out exception.esp wrt workflow.
Thanks in Advance

Qs about call FM in background task, and monitoring in SM37.

Hi, guys, i got a question here, if I call a FM using addition "in background task" in a Z program, does this mean the FM process is running in background? And can I monitor my task in sm37?
i've tried to do that, the FM was successfully proceeded, but I cannot see anything related to that task in SM37 under mine user ID.

No, you cannot see that in SM37.
What it means is that the function is being executed in a seprated thread and the program that called the function will continue the execution without waiting for the function finish execution, that means the function is called in a synchronous manner.

Ravi

What is the use of CALL FUNCTION MODULE - AT BACKGROUND TASK?

Hi experts,
I found Call functional module in background task will make the FM run at the next commit work as some people said. So I have some questions:
1 if we use COMMIT WORK commend, the pending FM will be called? If there are several FMs called at background task, what is the sequence of them? How many conditions will trigger the running of these FMs?
2 Where can I find the log of this pending FMs? In SAP library, it says there are 2 tables. But I checked these tables and can only find the FM name and user of it. And I can not understand content of these tables. It seems one is for the main information of FM, and the other is for the data of the FM, maybe the parameters.
3 If I call a FM in this way, Can I canncel it before the next commit work in some way?
Finally, thanks for reading and help.

HI,
When the COMMIT WORK statement is executed, the function modules registered for the current SAP-LUW are started in the order in which they were registered. ROLLBACK WORK deletes all previous registrations for the current SAP-LUW.
If the specified destination is not available when COMMIT WORK is executed, an executable program called RSARFCSE is started in background processing. By default, this tries to start the function modules registered for a SAP-LUW in their destination every 15 minutes and up to 30 times. These parameters can be changed in the transaction SM59. If the destination does not become available within the defined time, it is recorded in the database table ARFCSDATA as the entry "CPICERR". The entry in the database table ARFCSSTATE is deleted after a standard period of eight days

How to get return values In Background Task?

Hi all,
I have a Call Function Module In Background Task.In this FM I defined a return tables to get related info.But if use In Background Task mode,how to look/get these table values? Many thanks!

Creation of spool for job created by calling FM in background task

Hi Gurus,
1.Wanted to confirm if it is possible to attach spool to the job that has been created by calling a function module in background task.
Currently I have created one RFC enabled FM and called it in background task. It runs fine, and the job is created which can be seen in SM37. But it does not contain the spool even if the RFC FM contains the code for list ALV.
2. Also is it possible to control the name of the job created by calling the RFC FM in background task?
Code for calling the FM is given below(ZK_XX is th RFC FM):
CALL FUNCTION 'ZK_XX' IN BACKGROUND TASK
CALL FUNCTION 'START_OF_BACKGROUNDTASK'
EXPORTING
   startdate       = sy-datum
   starttime       = sy-uzeit
NOSEND          = ' '
COMMIT WORK.
Thanks a lot for your help!!
Warm Regards,
Raveesh

Thanks for replying.
I need to do the processing in background. Hence using 'IN BACKGROUND TASK' addition.
Please let me knowif you have some idea.
Thanks & Warm Regards,

IN BACKGROUND TASK as a different user ID

Hi experts,
I am performing a FM IN BACKGROUND TASK call in a BADI to automate creation of GR.
Example:
Step 1. User ABC performs GR for plant 0001.
Step 2. BADI checks and automates another GR for plant 0002.
The problem is user ABC only has authorization for plant 0001.
During step 2, the BAPI returns an error saying that there is no authorization for plant 0002 as the BADI is triggered by user ABC.
I am using FM BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. I tried to pass in an ID with SAP_ALL to the PR_UNAME field to indicate this ID as the creator of the GR, but the authorization check still exists.
Is there anyway I can force this background task to be executed by another ID instead of the triggering ID?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure to discuss this with the security team...
The RFC destination you specify in your [call function - in background task|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPCALL_FUNCTION_BACKGROUND_TASK.htm] can be used to specify a different user. Check for example the logical workflow destinations in transaction SM59...

Problem in background task with Control channel trigger in Windows 8.1 app

Hi,
I created app with control channel trigger as background task.
This is working fine in windows 8.1 desktop whenever app in background and switching from my app to other apps.
But this same behavior is not working fine in windows tab, whenever app switching the notification associated with background task is not working. And some times it throws delayed notifications.
As assumption based, is there any problem in tab to initiate the background task in suspended mode? or is there any regulations for control channel trigger using?
Expecting your feedback!!! thanks
