Background Mode

Hi all,
I would like to know how can I find which program is being used when I click on button Background in transaction VL10A.
I tried to debug but i was not able to find.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards

Hi,
I debugged and found out the issue.
The problem is in nomenclature. When it say's background it doesn't mean as a job. It means using ABAP FM's without user interaction.
You can appreciate this by understanding that there are two options: DIALOG and BACKGROUND.
When you choose DIALOG you go to transaction and enter/modify and save changes whereas in BACKGROUND it happens automatically using FM's.
That is the reason there is no job since no job is created in the first place !
Hope this helps in understanding.

both FM arent working, and when I try to execute in background mode, before anything, I recieve the following error:

and without the ASLM FM, the TEXT_CONVERT give me the conversion_failed exception...
the directories are right, that I am sure, because I just copy&paste it from CG3Z/CG3Y when I uploaded and downloaded to
check the file in the server...
am I missing something?
thanks again,

(PS: I made another topic because none replied the other in 4 days and wasnt solved yet)

Hi!
You didn't find answer for this, because it is not possible. If you run your program in background, it is running on the server, and does not have any connection to your local machine. That's why you can't upload/download in background mode.
You might try to address somehow your local PC, with its IP or MAC address, but I don't think does this task worth so much time.
Run your program in online mode, or if you want to run it in background, then upload your file into the SAP server.

BDC is not working in background mode and working fine in Foreground mode

Hi Experts,
I have created a BDC in SHDB for the transaction code:CWBQM for creating and deleting the record and converted the BDC recording into the program using call transaction. It is working fine in both foreground and background. When I given the same program for users testing one for the user was able to delete the records but Creation is not working in the same BDC. He is able to create the same records in another PC and the problem is only in that PC and only during the creation of the record. When I change the mode to 'A' mode for testing and request the user to execute and it is working fine the records created successfully. What could be the issue ?
Thanks,
Hema

Hello,
While recording BDC in SHDB try setting "Simulate background mode" flag and give a try.

Submit + LIST_FROM_MEMORY in background mode

Hi,
I need to capture the output results from standard program RFKORK00 and hence I designed a wrapper program that calls the standard program.
RFKORK00 generates a report output and I am able to capture the results correctly using the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY and FM LIST_FROM_ASCI in foreground mode. But when I try to run the same job in background, the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY does not return any results (I have checked the log by inserting information messages at various points in the program).
I have searched for similar contexts here on SDN and everyone is in agreement that LIST_FROM_MEMORY would work well even in the background mode too but I am unable to find the fault in this case. Could you please help, attached is the code -
SUBMIT RFKORK00

      AND RETURN.
    CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'

GUI functions (like GUI_UPLOAD) will not work in background, they need an actual Gui active.
There are plenty of threads on this subject, search also in the wiki for threads/guide like [Working with files |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Workingwithfiles] or [Communication to Presentation Server in Background Mode|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/9831750a-0801-0010-1d9e-f8c64efb2bd2&overridelayout=true] or [Working with FTP Server |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/WorkingwithFTP+Server]

Calling a function from a DLL, exectution in background mode.

Dear Experts,
We have created an ABAP report the calls a function from a DLL file. If the report is executed in on-line mode the program calls and executes the function from the DLL, but if the ABAP programa is executed in background mode it doesnt calls the DLL function.
Do you know a way to solve the problem when executing in background mode?
Best regards.
Antonio

Hi Gabriel,
Let me explain in details about my DLL function.
We are importing the business partners from legacy system into the SAP CRM system, so at the moment we created the BP master data via BAPI, I get the name of the BP and this moment I call the function in the DLL file. I export the parameter name and I receive back a simplified string with the name reduced to a code. This code I get back from the dll it is insert in a Z table, so there is no interaction in the screen, all must be executed in background mode, because there are a lot of business partners to be converted in SAP system.
I am sending my code for your considerations.
Instancia a DLL
CREATE OBJECT dll 'MTCODE.CPFONET'.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    RAISE without_dll.

Running a Dynpro-based Report as a Job/in Background mode

Hello,
i've got a report which hasn't got a selection-screen as its startscreen, but a complex dynpro and is based on different start-buttons and not only the "basic" F8/Run-Button. the users still would like to be able to run the report in background mode and as an automated weekly job. moreover they want to use their own configuration/variant for date-fields etc., just like they are used from a selection-screen. is this possible "out of the box" with a dynpro-based report or how can i archive this through my own programming logic?
thanks for your help,
dsp

Hi,
I guess yes, but since you seem to have several processes possible at startup (those buttons), you will have to code a new bit of code at the start of your application. This to choose the correct process... you should have a new statement like
IF sy-batch IS NOT INITIAL.
"Perform batch process
ELSE.
"Perform normal run
ENDIF.
For the variant, I'm not sure to really get the idea... Do the users already use variants with the actual version? or is there no selection screen at all? If not, you should use one and set-up parameters to pre-fill your dynpro fields...

Create Quality Management view for a Material in background mode

I want to know if there is a way to create a Quality Management View (Quality Management tab) on Material Master (material already extended to plant ) in background mode.
The requirement is to add inspection setup data for a material extended to a particular plant in background. I tried using 'BAPI_MATINSPCTRL_SAVEREPLICA' to add the data and it works perfect as required. Now the problem is this BAPI is creating the inspection setup data only for the material which has QM tab in MM02 for e.g. I manually created the inspection setup for a Material from MM01 and then deleted it , now the BAPI works fine for this material because when I created an inspection setup from MM01 it created the QM tab and after i deleted the entry the tab was still there with no entry in inspection setup.
I want to create inspection setup for a material which does not have QM tab.
I have to create everything is background mode. BDC is one option which I am list interested in.
Thank you for helping in advance.

Thank you for looking into my issue. I have to do the inspection setup in background without using any front end transaction.

Error in batch session processing in background mode

Hi ,
I am trying to do data transfer using batch session for transaction FD32.
Here the batch session is executing when I am processing the session in foreground.
Whereas in background mode it is failing.
Please check and assit.
Regards
Kishore

Hi Kishore,
Probably it will be some information or warning message which is coming in the background execution of the session.
That is the reason your session is going into error. Run the errored out session once again in foreground mode. You will get to know the reason of failure.
Please let us know of any doubts.
Cheers

Call transaction KB21N processed by a program in background mode

Hi to all,
I call transaction KB21N using BDCDATA in a custom program. If I process this program in foreground mode all it's OK, but if I process the program in background mode, I have a runtime error with DUMP: RAISE EXCEPTION with exception condition CNTL_ERROR. This program has to be executed in background so a bapi exist to use instead of call transaction or something else?
Thank you very much,
regards
Antonio

HI Antonio,
The transaction you are dealing with is an SAP Enjoy transaction and for such transactions it is not recommended to do a BDC. YOu should search for a BAPI for the same as you have already identified. Basically the enjoy transactions uses GUI controls which cannot be handled by BDC.
BAPI_ACC_ACTIVITY_ALLOC_POST may serve your purpose.

SM35 Re-processing of Incorrect/Error session in Background Mode

Hi all,
I am trying to reprocess a session in SM35 which is in Error status. Here I am a facing an issue, if I reprocess this session in background mode then it says that Batch input data is not available for a screen which is already processed. Ideally it should start from the screen where it threw error in the first run. If I select mode as Foreground or Display error then session is getting processed correctly.
Note:
If the session is in Ready to Process state then processing in background works perfectly fine. Has anyone came across this problem ?
Has anyone tried reprocessing Incorrect Session in background mode ??????
Regrads,
Antony

Thanks Sandra,
Indeed I understood the problem. And the problem is that transaction KEBC is always executed correctly & since its processed correctly its removed from the BDC Queue
Here transaction KEBC, sets a Memory Parameter, and transaction KEU2, first checks whether the memory parameter is initial, if found intial it pops-up a screen and makes the user enter it. In my case KEBC always run successfully
As you rightly suggested when session is in error, transaction KEBC is not getting called again to set the memory parameter & its throwing the pop-up from the transaction KEU2 to be entered by the user. ( BDCDATA currently dosent handle this Pop-up).
I could have omitted the KEBC transaction, but handling this pop-up from transaction KEU2 becomes tricky since it will only pop-up if the memory parameter is initial. And unfortunately Pop-up is the first screen in the sequence for transaction for KEU2 & nothing can be done in coding level to call KEU2 with the pop-up in all scenarios(Even when Memmory varaible is set) !
So I am kind of in a dilema, how to handle this? What I am suggesting to the Functional consultant is that let the session be only run in background mode (as it will be always in a new internal session memory variable will always be inital ) & I will record this pop-up in my BDC omitting transaction KEBC.
Do you have anyother solution for this?
Or is there any option to re process even the successfull transacations ?

Execution of Report with Tabstrips in Background Mode

Hi everyone,
              I have used 2 tabstrips in my report. When I choose the second tabstrip, give the related I/P's and then execute in Background mode. The O/P generated is coming for the 1st tabstrip instead of what I'd selected.
How could I execute the report in Background Mode for my Second Tabstrip? Any changes to be done in my Coding?

the blow is the content of the review team email：
We found that your app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently. This behavior is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
We noticed your app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist but does not include features that require persistent location.
It would be appropriate to add features that require persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background or remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. If your application does not require persistent, real-time location updates, we recommend using the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service.
For more information on these options, please see the "Starting the Significant-Change Location Service" and "Monitoring Shape-Based Regions" sections in the Location Awareness Programming Guide.
If you choose to add features that use the Location Background Mode, please include the following battery use disclaimer in your Application Description:

Import data from MS ACCESS in background mode

Hello experts,
i am facing the following problem. I´ve got to import a MS ACCESS database in background mode via job.
I got a solution which works in dialoge:
create object conn 'ADODB.Connection'.
create object rsdb 'ADODB.Recordset'.
concatenate 'Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;'
'Data Source=C:UserspfahlbeDesktopaccess.mdb'
into sql.
call method of conn 'Open'
exporting
#1 = sql.
Any idea how it can be handled in background?

The system does not have permission to the useru2019s desktop C:\Users\pfahlbe\Desktop\access.mdb when running in the background.
Recommend moving your MSAccess db to a network location where the system has full-time read-permission, and adjusting your sql accordingly.

Why can't we use GUI_Download in background mode...........

Hi experts as per the requirement my program should run at specific time in background mode, it need to upload the Personal numbers from the input file and for those personal numbers extract the data from multiple tables. but this report shd run in background.
and download the output in the form of flat file.
as i'm running in background mode can't use the F.M GUI_Download and GUI_Upload.
can any one guide me how to solve this issue and why can't we use these F.M. if we can't use then what is the alternative to run in background mode.

A program that runs in background mode doesn't have any connection to a frontend. After all, you can schedule it to run at a time where your frontend computer is not running.
In this case you have to load your files on the application server (or a mount point) and use the FMs C13Z_FILE_DOWN(UP)LOAD_ASCII(BINARY)
