Background job - Spool output screwed up.

Hi Friends,

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!

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

Background Job spool / output file in different app server

We are working with 2 ECC app servers, A and B.
I've defined in app server A a background job to run an abap report and this report creates and submit 4 other background jobs.
Each of these 4 jobs is regarding an abap report which outputs a text file in the server.
The question is, why are the jobs generating the files in different app servers randomically?
The same file, in the 1st execution was generated in app server A, and without any change was generated in app server B, in the job 2nd execution?
Thank you!

Hi,
You can specify server name whille creating a batch job , so that it gets executed to that server only.
there is one field (in SM36 during creation or SM37 while modifying batch job) called "Exec Target " , where you can specify server name.
Hence you can plan to run your some batch jobs on server A or B.

Send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0.

Hello All,
I have a requirement to send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0. Please help.
Thank you.
Nalini

Hi Jigar,
Thanks for your response.
Anything is like download to desktop or email is fine. But in MHTML format.
We can download the ALV report in MHTML spreadsheet format when we run the program online. But the program is running for long time and going to dump.
So i scheduled it as background job and downloading the output in .HTML format. But user wants the spool/report output in .MHTML spreadsheet format.
I can write the code. Instead of changing the existing program I would like to know is there any way (from standard SAP) that I can get the background spool in MHTML spreadsheet format.
Thanks,
Nalini

Background jobs html output not allowed 1 MB size

hi experts,
We are facing an issue with backgrounds jobs HTML output. we are running some backgrounds jobs for Std reports, and we are facing if the HTML output is <1 MB, the std sap is cutting/reducing the content only 1 MB. I think somewhere the background jobs HTML output is fixed 1MB, request kindly let us know how & where we can modify/allow the HTML output <1 MB size for background jobs.
Please help.
thanks in advance
Srihari

thanx so much for the solution, but i wanted to fix permanently at the time of html output after the job is finished itself, but when i change the parameters from 1 to 9999 pages, it is showing information message and SAP recommends the spool output is fixed from 1 to 10 pages only, if i go beyond 10 pages, i get message memory slow and impact on memory, etc.,
I wud like to know expert opinion whether doing from 1 to 100 pages thru SP01, what are consequences are to be faced wrt to memory and other aspects. Also i wanted to know these permanent changes will affect entire system or only specific jobs?
I wanted for 2 to 5 background jobs, which are having more than 10 to 30 pages,
Please advise
thanx in advance

What data is stored in the CC Background Job Spool File?

What information is stored in the location referenced in the CC Configuration/Miscellaneous setting of 'Background Job Spool File Location'? Our test and production versions of this system are configured the same, with both pointing to the same location on their respective servers. However the test location shows a virsa/bgJobSpool folder in it containing multiple files while our production system shows this location as empty.
Both versions seem to be working OK. We are running backgrounds jobs in each (risk analysis, management reviews, rule generation, etc.) and seeing results.
We updated to the GRC 5.2 a few months ago and are currently on SP9. This issue came up during a system audit, so we need to come up with an explanation for the differences.
Thanks.

I had reviewed that SAP note previously, but it does not seem to help any with our situation. We are running ad hoc background risk analysis jobs frequently and can always see the results. Everything seems to work fine from the application side, we just don't see the logs where we thought they should be over on the server.
From the outside, it looks like maybe it is ignoring the configuration setting and is still using the default location for the log. Does it need to be on the same drive as the application? I believe our application and the default location are both on our E drive, but we want to put the location for this and the Alert Log on the D drive.
Thanks.

Has anyone put the RAR Background Job Spool on a different server?

We are on GRC 5.3 SP 13.
Has anyone put the RAR Background Job Spool File Location (assigned in the Miscellaneous configuration section) on a server different than the one that the GRC Frontend/Java system is on?
I currently have it assigned to a folder on the GRC server, but it is running out of space. I am having a problem getting the users to delete old reports as they say they need to keep them for internal Audit controls. They are also resisting downloading the reports (more work for them). I have been told that we cannot easily increase the file space on the GRC server (would basically have to purchase more storage and rebuild the server).
I was thinking about moving the folder over to our virtual storage area, were file size can be more easily expanded. I haven't found any documentation that says the folder has to be on the GRC server, but I also haven't seen any examples of where it has been put on a different server.
Has anyone done this, and did you run into any problems?
Thanks.

Hello Bob,
I got your point. Probably there's no recommendation about this, because the recomended practise is to delete or archive the spools as suggested in note : Note 1511027 - Periodic clean up of spool files
If you have a requirement to keep these files "online", I think the option to save them to a network drive is fine. I haven't tried it for this specific scenario. You have to take into account:
- Specific user to connect to FileServer
- Availability of the FileServer. If the FS is down, the RAR job will cancel.
- Performance. I mean, write to a local disk is not the same to write to a network drive. This point is very difficult to measure, because it depends on a lot of things like network speed, server load, etc.
Maybe someone has already implemented it and gives you more hints.
Cheers,
Diego.

Background job list output

hi friends,
i have a report that i submit to run as background job...in this report there are outputs, e.g. "WRITE" statements...how can i make those visible on screen ?
regards,
clemens

Hi,
When you run the job in the Background, the Output will be generated in the Spool, so you can look at this from SE37 or From Spool SP01, from there you can see that value,
You can use the below function modules to read the Spool
BAPI_XBP_JOB_SPOOLLIST_READ Read the Spool List of an ABAP Job Step
BAPI_XBP_JOB_SPOOLLIST_READ_20 Read the spool list for an ABAP job step (XBP Version 2.0)
BAPI_XBP_JOB_SPOOLLST_READ_RW Read ABAP Job Step Spool List (Raw Format)

Background Job result output should be displayed in Email body

Hi Friends,
One of our user is scheduling background job, He need the output to his external Email ID.
user required that Job result output should be displayed in Email body, Not in attachment.
We have tried but job result received in email as HTML (or) PDF file attachment, But he wants output in Email body itself.
Please help.
Regards,
Karthickbabu G.G

Hi,
Displaying report output in email body is not available as a standard feature. Also doing a custom development would be very cumbersome .

File path problem in background job spool

Hello ,
i have probelm in file path of the background job in spool.
i have selection screen
Radiobutton : p_local
parameter: path1.
Radibutton: p_applicatioserver
parameter: path2.
if i keep program in background job, it will alwas take second option.
Now user selected first option and executed job in abckground. File stored in the spplication server with corect file path name. (path2)
But when i go to sm37 entered job name and checked the spool, it gives me the file path name path1. but i need the file path1 in the background spool. my question whether i need to change the file path name in program or whether i have to change the setting
Regards,
zub

First of all, local is not an option in background job; you can only save to the apps server, and your program should take that into consideration by checking for sy-batch = 'X', for example. You should be checking in your at selection-screen to be sure the user has not chosen local path and file and background job.

Background job spool font

Hello all,
I have scheduled a background job to run a report which creates a spool and sends it to the recipients as a PDF attachment. Everything looks fine except the font in the PDF attachment. It is too small to read. Is there any control anywhere to adjust the font of the spool that is being sent to the recipients? Please let me know.
Thanks,
AV

Hello AV,
We have the same issue, can you please share to us how you resolve this?
Thanks,

Table for background job spool list ?

i know the table for spool request : TSP01
But how should i link it to background job name ?
i want the link between background job name and spool request.
TBTCPV is the view but it stores only one spool request.....rather than multiple spoolreq generated by background job..

Hi,
Table TBTCP has the Spool Request field PLIST field as well as Jobname JOBNAME field in it. Youc an link them together.

Background Job & Spool List Recipient not receiving all pages

I have a program that is run during our nightly cycle and is scheduled in SM36 with a spool list recipient designated for the report to be delivered to the user's SAP Inbox. The job completes successfully and creates a report that is over 100 pages. The user is only receiving 10 pages in their SAP Inbox. Is this a Basis system setting? Can we changes this on a per user basis?
Thanks,
Holly

Hi Holly,
it's sound like the <b>SAP-Note: 329537</b>
Symptom
If a batch job creates a spool and sends it to a recipients, only the first 1000 lines are sent.
Other terms
SAPOffice, spool list recipient
Reason and Prerequisites
For performance reasons, the output sent to SAPOffice is limited to 1000 lines.
Solution
If you wish to send spools longer than 1000 lines in Releases > 4.6B, proceeed as follows:
1. Apply the support packages or correction instructions mentioned in this note.
2. Create the following two entries in table TSPOPTIONS with transaction SE16:
              option: BTC_FIRSTLINE value: < desired value, probably 1>
              option: BTC_LASTLINE value: < desired value, e.g. 99999>
1. Call function module RSPO_OPTION_FLUSH with value NAME = '*'.
Please note that this change may impact performance, depending on the selected line interval.
In Releases < 4.6C or if you are not able to apply the support packages or corrections, you can accomplish this with a minor code change.
In program RSBTCRTE, change the parameter sent to the function module
RSPO_SPOOLJOB_TO_OFFICE as follows:
call function 'RSPO_SPOOLJOB_TO_OFFICE'
     exporting
      rqident              =
spo_list_id
         first_line
= 1
last_line            =
1000            "<<< Delete
        last_line            =
99999           "<<< Insert
        receiver
= recipient_object
         mail_title
