Background Job assigment with variant in SM37 , for Textfile uploading

Dear all,
Im using the BAPI_PO_CHANGE to update the existing schedule dates in Purchase Orders,
for this the po's , item, schedules, delivery dates(Need to update) from a Textfile into the internal table
and passing that data to bapi function module, it works fi9 in foreground and the output is a classical report
with Corresponding messages through RETURN.
i need the same to run in background with a variant, but after assigning the background job in SM36,
i found that the job assigned got CANCELLED in SM37.
I hope everything is clear, so kindly revert back with solution.
Regards,
Niranjan.G

Hi,
You should understand that background job will be executed in application server and there will be no gui or access to presentation server available.
You should upload your file to application server through tcode CG3Z.
See F1 help for OPEN DATASET / Search SCN for sample codes for OPEN DATASET.
You should change the code so that it can be run in both modes using the system variable SY-BATCH.
If it is space use GUI_UPLOAD, if it is X use OPEN DATASET.

Background Job Scheduling with variants in IS - Public sector

Hi,
We run auto write off using scheduled job activity (SM37 -Program : RFKK_MA_SCHEDULER). There is an variant containing Main Transactions that needs to be included / excluded for write off.
The variant values are changed / updated with additional main transactions and when we run the batch jobs the new variant values are not getting picked or used. If we run the program independently i.e FP04M and use the variant, the new variant values are being handled.
I am not sure what is missing in the SM37 background job that is defined though the variant values are runtime parameters and should have automatically be used after it undergoes modification in the next job exeuction.
Kindly provide your feedback.
Thanks & Regards
Bala
P.S. : I Have posted this query in IS forum too.

Schedule background job using system variant

Dear gurus,
We're planning to schedule background job using system variant, for example, current fiscal year and current posting period (transaction AFAB). Is it possible? So for example, for this month, "Posting Period" value will be 6, and then next month will be 7.
Can you tell me how to do this, if I want to set up the schedule only once?
Thanks for your help.

Retain background jobs and its variants before system refresh activity

Hello All,
I am going to perform system refresh activity on quaity system on monday. Customer wants to retain the background jobs and its variants in the quality system. Please guide me and let me know the steps to retain the background jobs and its variants before starting the system refresh activity.
Regards
Subbu

Dear Subbu,
You have to export the TBT* Tables to retain the jobs. You can do this with R3trans:
1. Make Export file
2. Make Import file
3. Make Export in Q System before Systemcopy
4. Start Database and not SAP
5. Make Import in Q after Systemcopy
6. Start sap
1. Make Export file /tmp/export_cmd
export
file='/tmp/export_Q.dmp'
client=<your client>
delete from TBTCA
delete from TBTCB
delete from TBTCCNTXT
delete from TBTCCTXTT
delete from TBTCCTXTTP
delete from TBTCI
delete from TBTCJCNTXT
delete from TBTCJSTEP
delete from TBTCO
delete from TBTCO_V01
delete from TBTCP
delete from TBTCPV
delete from TBTCR
delete from TBTCS
delete from TBTC_SPOOLID
delete from BTCEVTJOB
select * from TBTCA
select * from TBTCB
select * from TBTCCNTXT
select * from TBTCCTXTT
select * from TBTCCTXTTP
select * from TBTCI
select * from TBTCJCNTXT
select * from TBTCJSTEP
select * from TBTCO
select * from TBTCO_V01
select * from TBTCP
select * from TBTCPV
select * from TBTCR
select * from TBTCS
select * from TBTC_SPOOLID
select * from BTCEVTJOB
2. Make Import file /tmp/import_cmd
import
file='/tmp/export_Q.dmp'
3. Make Export in Q System before Systemcopy
R3trans -w /tmp/Q_export.log /tmp/export_cmd
4. Start Database and not SAP
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL> startup
or
startsap
stopsap r3
5. Make Import in Q after Systemcopy
R3trans -w /tmp/Q_import.log /tmp/import_cmd
If you want to undo this, start the export script in P system and the Import script in Q system.
Don't be afraid of the delete statement but without delete it doesn't work!
6. Start sap
startsap

now click on pushbutton SELETION VARIABLE.
Then select type D and select the criteria current date or whatver of your choice.

Background Job step and Variant

Hi,
We are undergoing process of renaming user IDs(Eg from ABC to XYZ). I would like to know the effect on Background jobs due to renaming. I am sure we need to update the job step(s) with the new user ID. Do we need to do anything with variants too or will they work for new IDs also. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Sending of email triggered in a background job ends with error.

Hello all,
I have created a API which triggers mail to a distribution list using class CL_BCS. When i execute this API in foreground it works fine and the mails are triggered.
However i am calling this API in a report which will scheduled as a background job in my application and this job executes for some 5 to 6 hours and after that i trigger the mail. However at this point the job gets cancelled due to an abort message raised in
one of the CL_BCS methods.
The method is cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address which is called in my API and internally this calls many other methods. The abort meessage is thrown from the method instantiate_imp_class of class CL_EXIT_MASTER.
The ST22 log reads like this:
Runtime Errors: LOAD_SWITCHSTATES_MISMATCH
Short text: Current switch statuses are incompatible with program switch statuses.
What happened?
    The current switch statuses that are read for the execution of the
    program "CL_IM_CVI_ADDRESS_UPD_IMPL====CP" are incompatible with the switch
     statuses with which the
    program "CL_IM_CVI_ADDRESS_UPD_IMPL====CP" was generated at the time
     20090902114544.
Any advice would be greatly helpful.
Warm Regards,

Hi!
How you determine sender (method set_sender) ? if you use current user, when it runs on background use a backgorund user and it maybe can not determine an email.
Try force a sender (harcode your user for test when sy-batch eq 'X')
If it works, you need to determine the user to be used on jobs to solve this problem.
I hope it helps

Background Job cancelling with error Data does not match the job definition

Dear Team,
Background Job is getting cancelled when I run a Job on periodically but the same Job is executing perfectly when I run it manually(repeat scheduling) .
Let me describe the problem clearly.
We have a program which picks up files from an FTP server and posts the documents into SAP. We are scheduling this program as a background Job daily. This Job is running perfectly if the files contain no data. But if the file contains data the JOb is getting cancelled with the following messages.
And also the same Job is getting executed perfectly when repeat scheduling is done ( even for files with data).

Scheduled TMS_ # TMS_TP_IMPORT background jobs fail with error code 0232

Is anyone else having the problem we've just encountered since upgrading to ECC 6.0 and CRM 2007, where once setting up the automatic import ALL background jobs, to have all of the Transport Change Requests imported into the Q-Prod testing systems automatically, fail after several successful runs?
After setting up the automatic import background job to run every 15 minutes, the first few run successfully (importing any transports as it should), then the transports stop being imported.
The background jobs continue to run, but have the following in the job log overviews CRM 2007 - "Could not start transport control program tp". R\3 ECC 6.0 - "Transport control program tp ended with error code 0232".
Only by deleting the background job and recreating it (or manually importing) from STMS, can the transports continue to be imported. Although I have noticed that there are multiple tp.exe processes started, which need to be deleted before the STMS and TMS Background jobs work again.
The:
   DB is SQL Server 2005
   disp+work is at version 7000.150.14.48855
   R3Trans is at version 7000.149.14.47907
   tp is at version 7000.144.14.39594
Any suggestions on how to cure this for good?

Thanks All
FYI
SAP first suggested the following notes: 19466, 1150361, and to add a Startup profile parameter rfc/use_gwstart = 1. Which was only partially successful.
I guess it had more to do with RFC processes hanging than it did with the tp, which was fixed in a later kernel patch level.
I've upgraded the kernel to the latest (70000.181.0.0) and my problem was fixed.

Running job along with variant programatically

Hai,
I have to run a report (which have selection screen) through job from the module pool program.
that is the user will click on a button which triggers the execution of the report in back ground.
this report have a selection screen.I am creating the variant programatically & I have to use the same varinat in the job.But when I checked the job_open fm , it is not taking any input parametrs for variant.
please note creating the variant & job before the execution of the module pool program is not possible because I have to ceate the variant with the values from the module pool screen & I need to use the job
because the foreground process takes huge amount of time hence going for back ground.
can any one please tell how to cretae a job with varinat programatically?
creating a job with out variant is possible through job_open but I want to create a job with variant so that I can run the repor from module pool.
please give your ideas.
Regards,
Bhaskar.

Hello,
after the function JOB_OPEN you could use the submit_statment.
submit <Reportname> user <user> via job <jobname> number <jobnumber> using selection-set <variant>.
the jobname and jobnumber you would get from the JOB_OPEN-Function.
At last there would be a call function JOB_CLOSE or JOB_SUBMIT.
