ALV background job problem

Hello gurus,
Kindly help me in resolving this back ground job problem.
We have a program which gives a tabstrip alv output. they are calling subscreens for this and using containers for alv.
its running good in foreground but going dump in back ground execution.
i have used the code written in forums,
data: or_doc type ref to cl_gui_docking_container .
if cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) is initial.
    create object or_custom_container
           exporting container_name = c_container.
create object or_grid
         exporting i_parent = or_custom_container.
else .
create object or_grid
         exporting i_parent = or_doc .
endif .
now the error is ''set screen not allowed in subscreens.''
Could you tell me wats the problem
regards
rajesh

Hi Sandeep,
Change the 1st statement of your program
REPORT ZALV LINE-SIZE 300.
Specify output device as LOCL or LP01 with format as X_65_255 for 255 character width of output.
If width of ALV output is more than 255 say 325, then create a format in SPAD as X_65_325 & assign the same to ALV.
Best regards,
Prashant

Page-break in alv background job for alv output variant not coming correctl

Hi,
I have created an ALV grid report. When i run the report in background i get the output with correct page-break on FIELD1. Now when i run the report in background with an "ALV output variant" (its the ALV variant that controls the fields display in the output; this is not the program variant), i do not get the page-break on FIELD1. I have already build the sort criteria and using:
gs_sort-group = '* '. "New-Page
Please let me know what could be reason for not getting the page-break in background when i am using the alv output variant and how do i correct this problem.
Regards,
Rakesh

Hello Everyone,
I have solved the problem. While running the program in background, we get the page-breaks when we use the below part of code in the sort catalogue with the condition that the program variant should not use any ALV layout variant.
gs_sort-group = '* '. "New-Page
If you are using the ALV layout variant in the program variant then we can check the ROWPOS, COLPOS, and NO_OUT for that ALV layout variant and pass them along in the fieldcatalog table. You should be careful with not to pass the layout variant in the DISVARIANT. You can notice that i have cleared it and simply passing the program name into that.
*C-- Process separately for jobs running in Background. Actually
*C-- sortcat-group solves the problem only in Foreground. In background
*C-- when ALV layout variant is not selected then it works otherwise it
*C-- fails. So for background jobs we are reading the fieldcat and then
*C-- passing the same in the display FM.

Then pass gt_fieldcat to 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
The reason i'm doing it this way is that when we pass the layout variant name, the contents in gt_fieldcat were getting modified.
One more thing i'd like to point out is that that, i tried to delete the fields with no_out = 'x'. Now when i ran the program in background with all the fields in sort catalog (suppose there are 2 fields field1 and field2) also in fieldcatalog it ran fine. In the next run in background i removed one of the fields in sort catalog from the fieldcatalog (delete the fields with no_out = 'x') and i got dump. Basically i had hidden field1 and so the code which was deleting fields with no_out = 'x' deleted this field from gt_fieldcat. So basically we should not delete fields with no_out = 'x'.
I was getting ABAP runtime errors MESSAGE_TYPE_X in the following part of the standard code.

i have just mentioned this part because when i checked the forum many people were getting such errors "MESSAGE_TYPE_X". This could also be one of the reasons.

Background job Problem

Hi,
I scheduled a Program for background job running for every 10 minutes.
When i go to SM37 I am seeing all the background jobs, it is creating a newline for every 10 min in the list.
my problem is , Is there any settings to change for showing only one job that means over writing the old job and show the latest job.
Thanks in advance,
fractal

Assuming that intention is to monitor jobs that are either failed or active, you can deselect rest of the radio buttons at the selection screen so as to see failed / active jobs.
Other than this, I dont think there is any solution / way to do this.

CUP: Email Reminder background job problem

Hi All,
I have been experiencing a problem in CUP for Email Reminder background job. The job is always in "BUSY" status. It is not in "Available" status as others! Can somebody help me on this?
Regards,
Faisal

Hi!
Don't worry Faisal,
We have the same problem, but with escalation job. The message was opened in the 19th of May this year, but it's still in process. At the begining consultants suggested us to upgrade our system with the latest SP, but it doesn't work. We are on the latest SP with all patches but the problem persists. Of cource, we met all requirements for job planning, and performance suggested by different SAP specialist - nothing is changed.
I think it would be better if you write the message directly to SAP hotline. You are not alone

Error in Mass process chain DP background job for Deinitialize version

Hi,
When I execute the process chain for DP background job to delete the planning area version, it gives error message
"Process DP Background Processing, variant DELETE XXXXXXX has status Ended with errors (instance D973YTQRSF0FRPV5TCR28L"
It is working well, when I tried the same manually with the same input parameters used in background job variant.
What could be the cause for the background job problem.
Thanks and regards

Hi Datta,
I am not deleting the planning version, I am using Macro in the DP background job to delete or make the key figure values to 0.

ALV List only 80 Columns when runinning as background job

Hello Guys,
I have a Problem with an ALV List.
We use the FM REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY for a Document Journal.
When I run it in foreground it works fine. But when I view the spool in background the list makes a break at excactly 80 signs, but the line size should be about 120.
In the report the Line-Size is set correctly, even the print parameters seem to be ok. We are running it with X_65_255.
I saw that there are some SAP Notes to this topic, but on our release (SAP_BASIS 700) the notes are already implemented.
Has anyone a solution to this topic?
Thanks and regards

How to display more than 255 chars in background job with ALV Grid ????

Hi All,
I am using ALV grid with OO.
I have used call screen for ALV grid display. I have to display more than 255 characters in width. While running it, I can see the list perfectly.
But in background mode, the list is truncated after 255 chars.
Can anybody help how to send complete list(width more than 255 chars) to spool.
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi SAP fan,
YES you can run the ALV report in background mode.
To run the report in background do F9 instead of F8, then give immediate and save.
Now goto Sm35 goto job overview and view the job listed
Choose the job and press the spool button. It will show the list created on the next page. When u clcik the list u can see the ALV output.
To see this the job should be in the finished status.
How to define Periodic Jobs
1.Execute transaction SM36
2.Define Job name, Job class, Target server
3.Click on 'START CONDITION' button
4.Click on 'Date/Time' button
5.Enter Scheduled start DATE & TIME. Check mark 'Periodic Job' field. Click on 'Period values' button and select 'Hourly' or 'Dialy' or 'Weekly' or 'Monthly' or Other period and SAVE. Go back to main screen.
6.Click on 'STEPS' button and enter Program name and Variant under box 'ABAP Program'. Click on 'Print Specification' button and enter Printer name under 'Output device' and SAVE
7.Click on SAVE button until you get message on bottom of the screen that describes 'Job XYZ saved with status: Scheduled'.
8.Click on 'Job overview' button or execute SM37 transaction.
9.Select the appropriate 'Job name', 'User name', 'Job Status' & Schedule date under 'Job start condition' and click on 'Execute' button or press F8.
10.You will now see all your scheduled JOBS.
Case: 2
You can Run in Background but make sure it is alv list, not alv Grid FM. if you are uisng alv list not problem , but if you are using alv grid then you can code like this..
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
 RECEIVING e_offline = off.
 IF off IS INITIAL.
 CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
 EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
 ENDIF.
Case: 3
if you are using OO ALV.
Just before creating the custom container check for the following condition.
Batch or Web Reporting
IF cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT o_custcontainer
EXPORTING
container_name = lc_custcontrol
EXCEPTIONS
cntl_error = 1
cntl_system_error = 2
create_error = 3
lifetime_error = 4
lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
OTHERS = 6
ENDIF.
You can see the output in Spool in transaction SP01.

Download ALV result list as excel-file in background job

Dear Experts,
I am looking for a possibily to download the result of an ALV based report as excel-file in a background job. Surely there is a standard function which can be used or at least some hints how to implement this. I searched the forum but couldn't find a thread which was covering this problem exactly.
Thanks in advance
Benjamin

Dear Mr. Krapf,
it is possible to output an ALV list to an Excel file in the background but there are some limitations.
Please consider the following notes:
#7925 Graphics, Upload, Download do not work in backgrnd
#65050 Data types and file formats in files (DATASET)
#145073 - FAQ Report Writer: Excel download
#569537 - Incorrect data during import into Excel
#590126 Sending CSV documents up to Release 4.6
Please be aware that they are all Basis notes. So for more information you might ask in the Basis SDN Forum.

Problems creating background job for program (job open, submit and close)

Hi gurus,
im trying to start a background job using the FM BP_START_DATE_EDITOR to show the start date to the job or if it's imediate. this FM it's working fine, after call it im opening a job, submiting it and call the job close FM and the job close FM creates me the job.
The problem it's when i go to the sm37 to see the job status the job has been canceled, and the job log says that i have to give a start date to the job.
What i dont understand it's either the job is imediate or i choose a date to start the job always gives me this error...

Problems with background job

Hi,
I have problems when creating a job that is supposed to be run once in background. I use the common steps as described below. My problem is that the report is executed twice.
- First it is executed synchronously when the job is created
- Then it is executed in the normal job step as I want it to do
I don't want it to be executed the first time because it creates data!!!
Code:
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
     EXPORTING
          jobname = w_jobid
     IMPORTING
          jobcount = w_jobnr
          sdlstrtdt = sy-datum
          sdlstrttm = sy-uzeit.
SUBMIT (p_prog)
WITH p_idocnr = p_idocno
           USER            p_user
           VIA   JOB       w_jobid
                 NUMBER w_jobnr
                 AND       RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
     EXPORTING
          jobcount         = w_jobnr
          jobname          = w_jobid
          strtimmed        = 'X'
     IMPORTING
          job_was_released = w_jobrel.
Does anyone have a clue of what I should do to prevent this?
// Regards Hans

Hi again,
1. U are right.
2. It will happen if we use SUBMIT.
3. As per the help documentation,
    it will run the program in separate session,
   ( as soon as submit statement comes)
4. and run the INITIALIZATION event.
The VIA JOB addition also loads the program accessed in a separate internal mode when the SUBMIT statement is executed and the system performs all the steps specified before START-OF-SELECTION. This means the events LOAD-OF-PROGRAM and INITIALIZATION are triggered and selection screen processing is performed. If the selection screen is not processed in the background when VIA SELECTION-SCREEN is specified, the user of the calling program can eidit it and schedule the program accessed in the background request using the function Place in Job. If the user cancels selection screen processing, the program is not scheduled in the background job. In both cases, execution of the program executed is completed after selection screen processing and the system returns to the calling program due to the AND RETURN statement.

ALV list display in a Background job - Spool output

Hi,
We are currently working on a report scheduled to be run in the background job, and the ALV list is displayed in the spool output.
ALV list in the spool does not look the same as front run job, the column headers are all crowded together, and there is no grid in-between different columns or rows. It's hard to read.
Is there a way to add grid for this kind of output?
Thanks!

I expanded your report into two rows display, and the grid in the spool display simply gone!

Problem related to Outbound Delivery creation via Background Job

Hi ,
We are using the program RVV50R10C for creating OBD incase of STO .
Z variant is created to take care of selection parameters which inlcudes Shipping Point , Delivery creation date , Calc Rule, Delivery priority and shipping conditions.
The job is scheduled to run for every 10 minutes .
As planned the job is running for every 10 minutes but the OBD are created after 1 hour .
What are possible causes of this error.?
Please note that there exists enough stock.
Regards
Ramesh Ch

I think you will have the same problem when doing it manually with VL10B.
The creation is based on entries in an index. there is a userexit where you can influence how and when an entry goes into the index. E.g. you can speed up the overall performance if you do not update the index all the time, instead you are doing this with a background job from time to time.
Check if this is the case in your system.
this note may give you some hints:
Note 356061 - Incorrect index compilation caused by own checks
