Background Job not Printing TOs immediately

Hello experts,
I am having an issue with printing Transfer Orders created by background job, the output requests are sent to the output controller with status '-' . It works when I manually create the TOs or if I run the RLAUTA10 program with my userID in SE38 .
I have set the background job user default print parameters in SU3 to print immediately.
Also in the Job step, I have set up the print parameters to 'print immediately'
I have assigned printer for sorce storage type & set the indicator to use the source sto type in OMLV, The printer seems to be determined correctly, I've checked the Spool request name & printer in the spool controller, only issue seems to be the print not being triggered immediately.
Not sure, if there is some other setting that I have to make to be able to print the TOs created by the background job immediately.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kris T

whether the printer which you assigned is configured in SAP (network printer)? or LOCL?
printing may not happen if LOCL(background job)
Thanks

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.
000310     LOOP AT CT_SORT INTO LS_SORT.

000380
000390       LS_SORT-SELTEXT = <LS_FIELDCAT>-SELTEXT.
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 Step

Hi,
I have 3 steps in my job. I want to check the status of each job step and if that job step fails , send email to certain people.
How do i go abt doing abt it??
In table TBTCP -- it gives the status of each job step as 'P' ie scheduled even for the finished ones... so i cant get correct data from TBTCP.
Is der any FM implementing the same??
Its Urgent.
Answers will be rewarded,
regards,
Rohan

Hi Rohan,
Instead of creating the stpes, why don't you create the Job after completing the Fisrt job and for the Third Job select after completion of the Second job, so that you will get the Status in TBTCP table from there you can write the code to send the email

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,

Multiple background jobs to fill set-up tables in LO

Hi,
Can we schedule multiple background jobs for filling the same set-up table concurrently - obviously with non-overlapping selections.
ex: one background job for filling order# 1000 to 100,000
one background job for filling order#100,001 to 200,000
Both jobs running at same time.
Thanks,
Anita S.

Hi Anitha,
Yes we can Schedule Multiple Setup Jobs for the same Application wiht the Diff Ranges of selections.
It is possible and i have tried in our project.
Egg:-
We did a Reload of some doc that were missing in BI.
Did selective deletion of those corrupted data in some Data targetsand filled the Setup tables wiht those selection conditions (in our case 10 diff selection).
We ran this jobs in Background simultaniously when all the jobes finished we have ran the Full Repair Requests of those 10 selections to those respective data targets.
Hope this gives you enough clarity.........!!!
Best Regards,
VNK.

Sending output to a printer in a background job

I did a quick search on this issue and found a few suggestions. One suggestion was to use something like this:
SUBMIT RSFLFIND ... TO SAP-SPOOL DESTINATION 'LT50'.
I looked at the SAP help for SUBMIT and it was quite helpful however it raised a few questions. The program that am writing will be run in the background. I want to create a simple report that will print at several different printers when it is done. Looking at the help section (specifically this part):
"The SUBMIT statement accesses an executable program rep. The executable program is executed as described under Calling Executable Reports.
The program name rep can either be specified directly or as the content of a character-like data object name. The data object name must contain the name of the program to be accessed in block capitals. If the program specified in name is not found, an irretrievable exception is generated.
The selscreen_options additions can be used to determine the selection screen for the program accessed and to supply it with values.
The list_options additions allow you to influence the output medium and the page size in the basic list for the program accessed.
You can schedule the program for background processing by specifying job_options. "
It seems like I would create a simple program like this:
DATA: number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,
      name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST',
      print_parameters TYPE pri_params.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
    jobname          = name
IMPORTING
    jobcount         = number
EXCEPTIONS
    cant_create_job = 1
    invalid_job_data = 2
    jobname_missing = 3
    OTHERS           = 4.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
SUBMIT submitable TO SAP-SPOOL
                    SPOOL DESTINATION 'LT50'.
                    VIA JOB name NUMBER number
                    AND RETURN.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
      EXPORTING
        jobcount             = number
        jobname              = name
        strtimmed            = 'X'
      EXCEPTIONS
        cant_start_immediate = 1
        invalid_startdate    = 2
        jobname_missing      = 3
        job_close_failed     = 4
        job_nosteps          = 5
        job_notex            = 6
        lock_failed          = 7
        OTHERS               = 8.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
That will then call the background job and the output will go to the print spool. I have a few reservations about this. The print spool will not be determined until the background job. The background job creates sales orders and the material group, in the sales order, determines the printer that the final report will go to. Also, if this is the way to do it, do I just do simple write statements in the background job?

Hi,
Please try this ... perhaps it may help.
SUBMIT submitable TO SAP-SPOOL
                  SPOOL DESTINATION 'LT50'.
                  IMMEDIATELY 'X'           "Add here
                  VIA JOB name NUMBER number
                  AND RETURN.
OR
SUBMIT submitable TO SAP-SPOOL
                  SPOOL DESTINATION 'LT50'.
                  IMMEDIATELY 'X'           "Add here
                  WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO      "Add here

To check the status of a step inside a background jobs

Hi All,
i have a requirement where i have to check the status of a step(program)
inside a background job.
I tried with table TBTCP, but this will give the program status as P(scheduled)
always.
i know to find the status of a background job as whole, but how will we
find out the status of a program inside a job.
Could anyone please help?

Use function module BP_JOBLOG_READ, result is an internal table of structure TBTC5,
Analyze this internal table, looking for message S550(00) at the beginning of a step.

How to get data from the called program using SUBMIT in a background job?

Hi Experts,
I've a program which creates a background job using JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE function modules.
Between the above function modules I need to call a program using SUBMIT VIA JOB statement.
My problem is, How do I fetch some data in an internal table in the called program to the calling program after the SUBMIT statement?
I tried to EXPORT and IMPORT the data, but they are giving a failed sy-subrc when using this background job.
Kindly let me know your inputs and valuable suggestions.

Kumar,
When we execute a program as a background job then the output will be sent to Spool which needs to be fetched again.I guess we need to use Submit via spool as mentioned by Rajat.
Check these threads to get some idea
submit report to spool & import spool id

Actual Varaint Name used in the Background Job

Hi,
When a program is executed in Background made the selection screen variant selected is not the one that is shown in the Background Job Step information. There we see variant as &0000000000044.
I want to find the actual variant that was selected at the time of running the program in background mode.
Thanks.

Hi,
I also faced the same issue and after my R&D i found a workaround for this. Check this out.
Create a selection screen parameter and hide it.
PARAMETERS: po_varnt TYPE sy-slset NO-DISPLAY.
Now place below code in AT SELECTIO-SCREEN OUTPUT event.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
    CHECK sy-batch IS INITIAL.
    CLEAR po_varnt.
    MOVE sy-slset TO po_varnt.
If you are running in background by pressing F9 from selection screen, Use your hided parameter po_varnt for the variant name instead of sy-slset.
If you are running the report in foreground or through SM36 then you can use sy-slset to know the variant name.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Backup of background jobs after system refresh

Hi All,
I want to know that during the system refresh how can we take the backup of the background jobs which are in "Released" state so that we can schedule them the same way after the refresh is done. Presently we are taking the screen shot of "start condition" and "step" of each and every job and then using those screenshots we are scheduling them again after the refresh is completed. It would be really helpful and time saving for us if we come to know the tables where this information is stored and also if there is any other easier way for this.

Lovneesh
