BAckground Job Downloading.

Hi Experts,
     There's a solution of SAP regarding this topic using rfcsdk method by cerating SM59 and some changes to your local machine to have a connection between your machine and SAP server in background mode.
      But the RFC_REMOTE_FILE function has a limit of 256 characters of reading.
      How can we by pass this limit or rather cross the limit of 256 characters.

Jenifer,
When you download a spool in "Spreadsheet", SAP really downloads the data in tab delimited text format, even thought the file extension is .XLS.
So, just open the Excel file in notepad (or any other text editor) and see if the missing rows are present. If there are, then you have to figure out how to import the file properly into Excel file without losing the rows.

Background job downloading missing some rows in sm37

Hi,
I am downloading background job output through spool request in excel format. Out of 2000 records some 50 records in the middle are not displayed.But those 50 records are there in the spool output.
When downloaded in text format means all 2000 records are downloaded correctly..
Give me a solution please...
Thanks and Regards,

MDMGX download to ports as background job without FTP?

Hello everybody,
is it possible to use MDMGX as a background job to download directly into the mdm ports without FTP?
If I try to download as a local download (in background job) I get the error message: "Cannot open dataset for batch download of file: No such file or directory. Message no. MDM_GX_MSG031"
Any advice?
Regards,
Axel

Hello Alex,
As said in the above post MDMGX is used to extract the reference data from ECC. This data can be extracted to the local system as well. You need to specify the FTP server and MDM Root of the system on which the MDM server is Installed, by doing so the data extracted will be placed in the respective folders created under the given root in MDM. PI is not required for this since the output is in the required XML format

Why the background job for downloading file failed?

I have a background job for downloading file with logical path.
with
'OPEN DATASET l_out_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT';
Now, the program can be run in foreground;but when it running on background, it shows 'open file error'.
I do not know what happen?
Please help ~~

Hi,
The logical path you have provided might be incorrect or you might not have the necessary authorization to read/write on that folder.
Please check the folder in transaction AL11 & check whether you have the authorization to read/write. BASIS consultant would be able to tell you about it.
Best regards,

Background job to download standard ALV reports

Hi,
Could anyone knows how to download an standard ALV report in a background job?
In a job I made, some ALV reports were precessed and made, and their spools were made,
but not downloaded.
Regerds,
Katsumi Makabe

hi,
I think you can have a network shared folder on application server.
you said that it is a comma separated file.
1) Using TCODE CG3Z, upload the flat file to application server , remember to copy the path (it contains file path aswellas name).
2) Using DATASET read the filepath along with the name and read each line into workarea and split at ',' into fields.
3) Then append those fields to internal table.
using the FMs job_open, job_submit and job_close you can go for background scheduling.
Please go through the following link for sample code on FTP.

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.
Best regards, Christin Angus

Background job with download

Hi
Is it possible to set a program , that contains the download , in background?
If so, how?
Thank U
Narendra

hi,
You cannot download to the frontend in a background job because the GUI isn't available.
You will have to use OPEN DATASET stmts and
put the file on the Application server in the background
and then use the transaction CG3Y in the foreground to download the file to the pc from the application server.

How to avoid use of function module in case of background jobs?

Hi ,
I am working a file tranfer interface .Functionality is to extract file either apllication or presentation server , and process the file through bapi , send the result in their respective server. This program should run through batch jobs in background mode.
I am using following function module :
SUBST_GET_FILE_LIS : Get the file list from application server
TMP_GUI_DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES : Get the file list from presentation server
GUI_UPLOad : to extract file data from presentation server
GUI_downLOAD : to download data to presentation server
in case of background job these function modules will not work.... so how to resolve this issue...
what are the methods we can apply?
Thanks & Regards
Sandeep

Hi,
This FM is used to get list of files from Application server (will work in Background). This cannot be used to list files from presentation server. There is no way , by which you can process presentation server files in background mode.

My big problem is this, when Im running my program ordinarily (not as background job), Im getting all the pages downloaded correctly but when I run it as background job (using SM36), Im only getting the last page of my report being downloaded. Definitely, I cant debug it because its in background. I cant figure out why. Hope that I stated my problem clearly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can debug batch jobs by going to 'SM37', type in 'JDBG' in the
command line ( no '/' ), put the cursor on the job and press enter - will
take you to the job in debug mode.
You can do this only after the job has finished execution. This will simulate the exact background scenario with the same selection screen values as used in the job also sy-batch will set to 'X'.
So type in the transaction code 'JDBG' and place your cursor on the job after It has finished. It will take you to a SAP program in debug mode. Step through this program which is about 10 lines, after this your program will be executed in the debug mode.
Steps
1. Create variant called BACKGROUND for program to be debugged.
2. Execute ZDEBUGBG (pgm code below) in background for immediate processing.
3. Execute transaction SM50.
4. Select process that runs ZDEBUGBG.
5. Goto 'Program/Session' 'Program' 'Debugging'.
A se80 debug session will open.
6. Change variable W_EXIT to 'E'.
7. Step thru (F6) until ZWBTEST comes up.
1. Go to Transaction SM66 and find your work porocess.
Select the line work process is on and click on the Debugging button.
If this is a custom program, you can put a wait statement in the code to buy yourself sometime.
2. Go to Transaction SM50. From the tool bar "Program/session"->Program->Debugging.
goto SM37 and from Program menu(not sure.. try other menu's)
-->Catchjob . it will goto the active job in debugging mode.

Can ABAP proxy to consume WSDL file be run as background job for every10min

Hi all,
I have a requirement where I need to build an interface which gatheru2019s the purchase order details and send to external third party software in their required format (as an XML file).
So I should be the first point of contact and should trigger the interface each time a purchase order is generated.
So I am thinking that I should develop a background job for every 10 minutes which will look for new purchase orders and gathers the information of the purchase orders and send them to external third party software in their required format.
I have gone through all the SAP forums and e-Learning but still I have confusion in regards to how is it possible technically? Can some one guide me with some information on the same.
I have a little bit of confusion and want to know few things.
1)     Should I create a web service or should I consume a web service?
2)     If I need to consume a web service, then can I write an ABAP proxy to be run in background fro evry 10 minutes? I mean can we run ABAP proxy as a batch job in the background?
3)     Is there a difference between consuming an XML file and WSDL File?
Any Help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Jessica.

There are two options (as I know) to generate XML file.
1. Use XML TRANSFORMATION to get the XML string based your TRANSFORMATION. You can input your data and get back the XML string. Download this string to a file
Test XML generation program is:
types: begin of ty_data,
       num   type i,
       end   of ty_data.
DATA: itab TYPE standard table of ty_Data,
      la_data like line of itab,
      xmlstr TYPE string.
DO 3 TIMES.
la_data-num = sy-index.
APPEND la_data TO itab.
ENDDO.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np1
SOURCE table = itab
RESULT XML xmlstr.
CALL FUNCTION 'DISPLAY_XML_STRING'
EXPORTING xml_string = xmlstr.
My ZTEST_NP1 transformation. To create a transformation, click on the transformation in the "CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np1" statement. Select Simple transformation type.
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="table"/>
<tt:template>
    <table>
      <tt:loop ref=".table">
        <item>
          <tt:value ref="NUM"/>
        </item>
      </tt:loop>
    </table>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
XML string is like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<table>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
</table>
To use this option, you have to create a transformation and than use it to generate the XML string.
Check this SAP Help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e3/7d4719ca581441b6841f1054ff1326/frameset.htm
2. You can concatenate and create an XML string and download that string into a file.

How to set pl/sql function as background job in apex?

Hi,
I wrote a function which returns boolean value based on result.This function updates a table everyday.How to set this as a background job?or do I need to use dbms_job only?
Thanks,
Mahender.

No, you can use APEX_PLSQL_JOB.
Example:
DECLARE
l_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
l_job NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_sql := 'BEGIN MY_PACKAGE.MY_PROCESS; END;';
l_job := APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS(
p_sql => l_sql,
p_status => 'Background process submitted');
--store l_job for later reference
END;

Save Report Output to a PDF File
This report takes another report as input, and captures the output of that report. The output is then converted to PDF and saved to a local file. This shows how to use some of the PDF function modules, as well as an easy way to create PDF files.
One thing I am not thrilled about is how the spool number is retrieved. If anyone has any better method, please let me know! Until I actually have a production use for a program like this, I will not try to find a better way.
