Background processing in Flex

I have two questions here. But, I guess they both are related
1. I have a calendar application, where I display set of
events based on time for a day. I need to start a background
process to check if any of the events are scheduled for the next
half an hour and show the reminder to the user.
Like I mentioned, I believe that there should be a background
thread running to check the current day event's time against the
local time and display reminder.
2. Next question is, I have a search component, where the
user enters the text and clicks on the search to fetch the results
based on the text entered.
I need a little customizable behavior here, where I need to
fetch the results based on the user input automatically(without
clicking the search button) based on the time lag after the last
character entered.
Any help/views in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance,
Suresh.

Hi,
The issue is bcz. in background screen container is not recognized.
Change the code as follows:
SET PF-STATUS 'SCREEN_100'.
SET TITLEBAR 'xxx'.
*if program is run in background
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
 RECEIVING
 e_offline = off.
IF off IS INITIAL.
 IF container1 IS INITIAL.
 CREATE OBJECT container1
 EXPORTING
 container_name = 'CC_ALV1' .
 ENDIF.
ENDIF.
CREATE OBJECT g_grid1
 EXPORTING
 i_parent = container1.
PERFORM prepare_field_catalog.
PERFORM exclude_button.
PERFORM display_alv.

AIR vs. Flex: image generator as a background process on the server

I am running into problems with an image generator running on
a headless server.
When I start up the server, it launches my java app. It reads
a list of report definitions from the data base. For each report,
it spawns a thread. Each thread launches my Flex application in a
browser window.
Flex draws the data in charts. Each time data is pushed to
the flex application from the java server side, Flex calls a remote
java method to save it's image to a file. This file sits in a
directory where it can be viewed in a regular old html page.
The problem is really the automated aspect. I want to have
this chart generated every few minutes as a .png file. It works
perfectly fine on my localhost machine, but the server deployment
is so far not working, I think because it is headless. We have
firefox installed on the server. Is there no way to launch it as a
background process to draw these images? Should I turn this into an
AIR app (I've never done anything with AIR up to this point) to
make it run more easily in the background?
Java programmers all seem to think that running an image
generating process in a web browser window on the server is "bad
practice". So I think I am thinking maybe I should turn it into an
AIR app. I'm not sure though how to deploy AIR apps though. Can
they go in a .war file?
If someone has any ideas about this or if going AIR is the
wrong approach here please let me know. Thanks!

Not explicitly, as far as I know.
But you could always run it and then hide its window using Cmd+H, or the menu command "iCal" -> "Hide iCal". Click its dock icon to make it visible again.

Adobe AIR background process throttled at 5%

I'm creating an air application that downloads stuff from the web (through httprequest...irrelevant though).
Oftentimes, while the content is being downloaded (roughly 200mb of data), the user will alt+tab away, putting the air app in the background process. I've noticed that (at least in windows), this will cause the air app to download extremely slow since the cpu utilization seems to be throttled. I realize this may be an OS-level optimization, but I don't see why browsers or say bit-torrent clients would exempt.
This problem isn't really related to downloading, but I think this is potentially a common use-case for an air application.
I've read an article about cpu throttling via the stage.framerate, but that doesn't seem to do the trick for me.
Is it possible to forcibly set the cpu or at least turn off the throttling?

Hi
For my particular app, its written in flex and I'm seeing the issue on windows. I was modifying the stage framerate actually (I think), I didn't try the backgroundFrameRate.
I'm pretty sure its just being throttled as an optimization at some level (not sure where). In a separate instance, I was writing an air application written in flex (and windows) where I was NOT downloading something, but it was rendering a cpu-heavy graph. While I was trying to investigate why my graph was so slow, I looked at the process manager (ctrl + alt + del). It would always say it was at 5% cpu utilization, which I thought was highly suspicious (certainly didn't feel like 5%). I eventually realized, that simply having the process manager on top of the application causes the throttling to occur. All I had to do to prove it was check the "always on top" setting for the process manager, and then bring the focus back on my air app. It was going at 60% -80% cpu utilization!
I don't have a sample app, but to recreate one real quick, just have something continuously running (maybe a looped sequence of animation or downloading a huge file), and then bring up the process manager. You'll notice it'll say something low like 5%. Then, keep the process manager up while you focus back on the application (maybe on the side) - you'll notice the cpu utilization jump back to normal.
Thanks for looking into this

Error in executing a process for Flex compilation ....exceeds 32K...

Hi,
deployin my model i get the following error-message.
"Error in executing a process for Flex compilation, Error: Branch between 64935 and 97770 around line 0 exceeds 32K span. If possible, please refactor this component.
Error: Branch between 64935 and 97770 around line 0 exceeds 32K span."
Do i delete a sort-element from my model it is deployed very well. So what does this message exactly mean and how can I locate where the error occurs and how can i fix that problem because i need this sort-element to be in my model.
Thanks for your help!
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
You are receiving this error due to a current limitation in the Flex server. How you can fix this is to split the iView you are currently working on into two iViews, and embed one within the other. This will decrease the size of the current iView you are receiving the error for and eliminate this problem.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Scott

GUI_DOWNLOAD and background processing

Hello,
I have created a process which creates a file. this process uses GUI_DOWNLOAD to put the file on the users C drive or other directory on our network. The user wants to run this process in background and the program is returning a 6 (error unknown) from the GUI_DOWNLOAD FM. I was looking on SDN and found out the GUI_DOWNLOAD only works in foreground. You have to use OPEN and CLOSE DATASET statements to process in background. I am thinking about putting a button to denote foreground/background processing and using the appropriate statements to process the file. I will then have to get the file from the app server to a place will the user can get access to it.
first question - is there a FM to do a FTP from the app server to a directory on our network for the user to access?
second question - is this the right approach or is there something else that I should be doing.
thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
Yes, your right, GUI_DOWNLOAD wil not work in background mode, you need to place the file in Application server, here.
See the below link for a FTP program, use the proper commands(i do not know whether downloading the file is possible through the commands)
http://www.sap-img.com/ab003.htm
or else, write a small program which downloads the data from the application server, but it should run in the foreground

The request could not be submitted for background processing.

It's an BOE XI SR2, on Win2k3 server, with a print cluster with two print spools, handling 3000+ printers. I discovered this error to be intermittent and only on one of the spools. It turned out that the only common factor was an HP4250 print driver. I backed all the 4250s down to 4200 drivers and the intermitent error ("Error in File. The request could not be submitted for background processing.") went from about 100 a day to zero. The other spool had a different version of the HP4250 driver and would on rare occassion cause this error, "Error in File ... Page header or footer longer than a page." but never the background processing error.
For reference, when I got this error in XI R1, this was the solution for 'the error with one name and many causes':The error "The request could not be submitted for background processing" can be related to a corrupt or wrong versioned crpe32.dll in the Crystal bin folder. Renaming to crpe32.dll_bak and using the repair command in the the "Add/Remove Programs" tool in the "Control Panel" will reinstall the correct dll. Then restart the Crystal services.

For Crystal reports :
Error : "The request could not be submitted for background processing"
I think,this was not related to a corrupt or wrong versioned crpe32.dll.
but the below mentioned is one of the reason for getting this error.
I got the error when the main report(crystalreports10) having more than 2 subreports not assigned proper tables for the subreports.
Example: (this code raise the abone mentioned error.)
rpt.SetDataSource(Exdataset);
rpt.Subreports["subreportname1"].SetDataSource(Exdataset); // Exdatatset.Tables[1]
rpt.Subreports["subreportname2"].SetDataSource(Exdataset);// Exdatatset.Tables[2]

Crystal Reports VS 2008 "The request could not be submitted for background processing"

Hi,
I am going to try to explain this issue the best I can. Please let me know if you need any other information or have any ideas as I have exhausted my resources. We have an ASP.NET application that has highly formatted crystal reports in them that the users can export as PDFs. All reports export without a problem when the application is run off of our desktops. The reports use a sql server authenticated user, executing stored procedures, and each subreport is linked by the main parameter. We are using Visual Studio 2008 version 3.5 SP1 with Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1. We have designed the reports in Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (11.5.12.1838) and imported them into the ASP.NET application. When trying to export the reports as PDFs from the development or production servers, we get the error message below for some, not all, reports:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800002AD): Error in File C:\Windows\TEMP\KeyAccountProfile {9FA5C095-77A2-425D-AC6B-8BB66B435336}.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing. at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext) at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
We have cleared the temp directory on the servers before exporting and are still receiving the error. We have installed Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio (10.5.2.0) on both servers. I have identified the underlying issue to one stored procedure/subreport that is causing the report to fail. The weird thing is, when we change the connection to point to development, the stored procedure/subreport runs fine for the report that generates an error when run from production, and the data is the exact same. I have tried rebuilding the subreport but the error still appears even though it runs fine for other reports.
I have been through the document below, and othe similar issues in the forums, but still have not found a resolution. I was trying to use the "modules" application put since this is an ASP.NET application I am unsure of which executable I should be looking at.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50a6f5e8-8164-2b10-7ca4-b5089df76b33?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&36837934524320
Thanks in advance for your assistance,

OK.. I did some more investigating on this today. I have found out when I move the sub report that generates the error under another sub report, the sub report in question runs without issue. But when I try and move the sub report that produces the error above any other sub report, the error still generates. Can this get any weirder.... FYI.. there is a total of ten sub reports on this report.

Hi Brad
I'm not sure that Modules would show us anything in this case, so let's try a few other things:
1) Make sure you are using SP 1 for Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio:
Crystal Reports for VS 2005 and VS 2008 Updates & Runtime Downloads
2) Seeing as this works on dev, this may be some db inconsistency so enabling the report option "Verify on 1st Print" will be a good idea.
3) Double check the database client and make sure the same client is used on dev and deployed systems. Actually I take back my Modules negative as this is where it may prove useful. Once you have the Modules logs, look at who is loading the crpe32.dll, then look at that process and see the client dlls.
4) Check the printer driver; see if there are any updates. Try a different printer driver.
Ten subreports is not too bad, though not that good either as you are loading the report engine with at minimum 11 simultaneous reports (each subreport is considered to be a report). If a subreport is in a details section and the details section returns a 100 records, you are running 100 + 1 reports. This may lead to memory issues, which may lead to the error.
If I was a betting man, I'd put most of my money on the printer driver (based on your last addition to your post). What ever money I had left would go to some database issue (be it actual data or client related).

Background Processing? how schedule job for "System Error" Message .

Hello everyone,
in sap help i have read.

PCK> Monitoring>Message Monitoring-->Background Processing
you can schedule jobs for various background processing:
●     Archiving of messages processed successfully
●     Deletion of messages that are not to be archived
●     Restarting of messages with errors
●     Rescheduling of lost messages
can anyone understand this docu?
give me some introduction, how can i define and schedule these jobs ?
thx in advance!!
best regards
Yaning

Background Processing
Prerequisites
You have started the message monitor on the initial screen of the PCK and are in Background Processing.
Features
Archiving
You require two archiving sessions to archive messages:
●     One session to write the messages to the archive
●     One session to delete the persisted messages that have been archived
To do this, you schedule an archiving job, which implicitly schedules the sessions to write to the archive and delete the archived messages.
You can define one or more rules for each archiving job; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be archived by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
All information that is displayed for a message in message monitoring is archived, in addition to the audit log for each message.
Deleting
A standard delete job is created automatically. It runs once a day. You can schedule additional delete jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.
Restarting
Instead of restarting messages with errors manually with message monitoring, you can schedule a job to automatically restart these messages. This is possible for all messages for which the number of defined restart attempts has been exceeded (messages with the system error status).
You can define one or more rules for each job to restart messages; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be restarted by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
Rescheduling
A standard job to reschedule messages is created automatically. The job runs once a day and ensures that messages lost as a result of database failure, for example, are rescheduled. You can schedule additional rescheduling jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.
Thx Aamir.
But I mean the messages with errors in Adapter Engine , not in Intergrations Engine.
the situation is like Naveen Pandrangi's WebLog
II. Errors in Adapter Engine [XI : How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically|XI : How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically]
I
Till now we have seen how to resubmit/restart message that failed in Integration Engine. One a message makes it from Integration Engine to Adapter Engine, the message is flagged as checked in Integration Engine. The status of the message in Adapter engine does not effect the processed state in Integration Engine. Now if this message was asynchronous, XI will by default try to restart the message 3 times at intervals of 5 minutes before the status of the message is changed from Waiting to System Error .
*how can i schedule a job to automatically restart these messages with errors?
best regards

ABAP trail 7.00 timeouts and background process

Does anyone knows if it's possible to change the number of dialog and background processes?
And the transaction to change the timeouts of such processes?
Thank you

you can change the timeout in rz11.Parameter-name is rdisp/max_wprun_time. Backgound processes habe no timeout, so this value is only valid for dia-processes
To change the number, you have to adjust your instance profile. In the forum 'Netweaver Administrator' should be some information about that. So just the short hint: you can adjust the profiles in RZ10, but have to do some steps for that. Just search in NW-Admin-forum above.

How can I run a method as a background process?

Hello,
I am currently working on a report where depending on the number of items selected, the user may choose to process all the items right now or as a background process.
How can I do that in ABAP?
Thanks

To run a job in the background it has to be scheduled as batch job. You would usually do that using transaction SM36. As I understand your problem you want to schedule such a job directly from your coding. You may want to have a look at function group BTCH. It overs quite a few FMs to programmatically add a batch job.
