Background Scheduling Z Report

Hi,
I have developed one report , it can output its result in alv report and excel file, So my requirement is to schedule the report and in background only email the report to the specified email id's. How can I achieve functionality of background scheduling and automatic email.
I know we can do background scheduling with SA38 or SM36/SM37 but upon scheduling it is not saving my excel file at desired location.

You should search forums about this....
You will need to save to the SAP Application server (in a folder which has write permission for SAP jobs) and possibly FTP to some shared drive within the network. Local PC, local MS network, like C:\, D:\, etc. is not visible to a background job, since there is NO GUI/PRESENTATION server involved in a background job. Outside of MS Office, an .XLS file is an unknown file type, probably.... how do you think you're creating a .XLS file in a background SAP job?

Ability to schedule a report to run in background but No access to transact

Hi,
I want to give users ability to schedule a report to run in background but No access to transaction Sm37.
What can be the process/steps to work and morever if we do this is there any disadvantages that users
can face later...

Sorry, I misread your question - thinking that the report should only be run in the background.
I agree with the others (also about SMX and SMXX to display their own jobs, but not change them afterwards), but which report (tree) is this?
You can still give the user an ability to maintain a variant via transaction VARCH though (no execute possibility) . It will check S_PROGRAM p_action VARIANT or look for a user specific protection flag.
But then the user can submit it online as well from other transactions. That is why I thought you were looking for a way to run it as low priority in the background only.

Julius

How to schedule the background job if report have Presentation server files

Hi All,
I have searched the forums and found , the way for the scheduling the background job if report selection screen have the presentation server file input.
1. Using the Open data set method.
And my client is not OK with Open dataset way, it there any other way to do this, As we are using the EXCEL file.
Thanks and Regards,
Bharani

Hi,
As said above it is generally not possible. Since your client most obviously doesn't like graphical background I would recomend storing data as till now, but show it with your own report in more userfriendly way. For example:
- as ALV Grid
- in excel with use of OLE either as embedded in SAP or new window (check transaction OLE for example)
- with use of webdynpro

Scheduling a report in background and passing data for processing

Hi all,
Using code (in a report1) ...i want to execute a report (report2) in background.....but at the same time i want to pass data (an internal table and a variable) to that report2.
is it possible to pass data like internal table to a executable report and at the same time pass the data to that report.
Thanks in advance.

Schedule a report to run in background

Hi all,
I have a report that has a selection screen .
When i schedule this report as a background job , it is cancelled : "cannot perform frontend function in batch input mode " ??
I created a variant and in the job step specified the variant name ...!! would appreciate if anyone can tell how to schedule the report to run as background job ?

Hi,
Ok in this case there can be too options.
1) either take file from the shared network and put it in your presentation server and then take it into application server ( this is manual by using CG3z)and then execute your program in background
2) or you will have to code using FTP commands
First connect using FM FTP_COMMAND. you will ahve to use commands like mget etc
Once connected then pass command using FM
FTP_COMMAND
Then get the files Data into Internal table via FTP server which can be done using
FM FTP_SERVER_TO_R3
once done use the back ground processing
Make sure that there is R/3 connection mainained using SM59.

Can we pass value through "EXPORT" in background scheduled report

hi experts
my query is can we pass some field using 'EXPORT' statement while scheduling a report to run in background using statement
submit 'ZXYX' via job jo_name number jo_num and return.
i am using 'IMPORT" statement in 'ZXYZ'

EXPORT, as I recall, is limited to your user context. Check shared objects (which still may not work, although you can propagate to servers) and INDX-like tables. Research use of INDX-like tables for how data is passed into and out of these tables (import/export).

Selection Screen Change & Impact on background scheduled reports

Hi,
I have modified the selection screen of a report program by adding additional selection criteria. This report is background scheduled and runs several times with different variants in a day. I am worried that the background jobs may fail in Production if the latest changes are moved. But I think, background jobs will not fails unless the selection criteria that are part of variants that used in the background jobs not modified. But not sure. I just want to make sure, I am doing correct thing.
Please let me know your thoughts. Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Kannan.

I don't think so.
But of course you will have to update the variants to reflect the new selections.

Function module needed to schedule a report to run in background.

Hi,
I am in need of a basis fm ro schedule a report to run in the background.
There exists a function group BTCH with fm MINI_JOB_WIZARD which is what I need.The problem is that all the import parameters is mandatory
IN_JOBNAME
IN_REPVARNT
IN_REPORT
The problem with the above fm is that it requires a report variant which my report doesnt have since my report has no selection screens.
Can you please suggest me any alternative fms which does the above wizard like stuff without the annoyance of supplying a variant .
Thanks

Try to use the standard FM for submit of jobs :

Can not view/schedule Crystal Reports in new BOE XI 3.0 Installation

Hello,
I'm having an issue on a brand new installation of BusinessObjects XI 3.0 on AIX 5.2 (using WebSphere 6.0). Installation went smoothly and migration went fine. Can log in, pull up CMC, InfoView (all other apps). But scheduled Crystal Reports (as well as viewing Crystal Report thru InfoView) are failing with the following errors (which to me seem interrelated):
*(1) Error in File ~cec0c55d91e0e015.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing*
*(2) Error in Report XXX: Failed to load database information*
*(3) An error occurred while creating a subprocess in the processing server. [RCIRAS0604]*
These three errors indicate to me that the report engines are having issues opening the files, pulling the data and generating the reports. We've checked to make sure that the account that BOE is running under has all the permissions it needs - and it has.
I just turned on tracing (-trace) on the report job processing servers and I'm watching the logs as I retrace my steps...
Any ideas? Would appreciate any feedback...
Thanks,
Will

Turns out this is a pretty nasty issue on Unix environments. Being that the BOE application is developed on Windows then ported to Unix environments, the services (daemons) still end up depending on an emulated registry (MainWin) sort of like in a Windows environment.
For some reason (we're still trying to figure this out), the BOE registry entries got corrupted and then started preventing the processing servers (which in the case of CR ultimately depend on CRPE - Crystal Reports Print Engine) from opening up and processing CR files.
We engaged BusinessObjects/SAP support and have been able to resolve this issue on our test AIX system. The resolution included deleting all the mainwin (mw) tmp directories and files in the root temp directory and also in the
/bobje/enterprise120/aix_rs6000/crpe>
directory. Then we stopped all BOE services and reran the MW script to regenerate registry entries. This repair was a pretty intricate multi-step process. The SAP Technical Rep who worked on this case is writing a knowledge base article (an SAP note). Once I get details, I'll update this post.
The good news about this issue is that the upcoming SP1 of XI 3.0 removes the dependency on the mw registries...
