Background task pane in indesign

my background panel is spinning when i export pdf's in indesign help?

Windows or Mac? Which version, and which version of ID?
I'm guessing you mean you have the Background Tasks panel open and you see a spinning cursor of some sort (the kind you get when the machine is working or the program hangs). Does the progress bar advance? Does the export finish?

  • Indesign CC 2014: Background Tasks huge

    Just upgrading from CS6 and the biggest annoyance so far is the minimum width of the Background Tasks panel in the new CC is twice as wide as the previous one. It's now so comically large, even when minimized to just a tab, I have to go without it and start guessing when things complete. This is on both Mac OS 10.9.3 and a 10.8.5 system.

    Not much literature about the subject. You can check the comments here: http://indesignsecrets.com/why-is-indesign-soooo-slow.php/comment-page-1 where users point out the same issue you mention.

  • CS5 will not export to pdf, nor can I delete background tasks to close program

    I haven't a clue as to why InDesign CS5 will not create a pdf file from a 12 page document that (to my knowledge) has no errors.  This file is of a 12-page advertising catalogue that has already been sent to the printer, so there is nothing wrong with the file.
    I want to create a low resolution version of the file for viewing on the web.  The request shows up in the Background Tasks, however, nothing is happening.  Plus, I cannot delete the background task.
    I am using version 7.0 of InDesign CS5 on a Mac Pro Quad Core, running Version 10.6.8 of OS X.
    Up until this point I haven't had a problem with InDesign.
    All help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Diane

    Thank you Peter for your suggestion.
    I finally figured out that I was working with a corrupt file.  Go figure.    No telling how that happened as the last time I worked with the file was when I uploaded it to the printer.
    Everything is works perfectly in my InDesign software.
    Thank you again for trying to help.

  • Background Task Alert - won't export PDF

    Hello
    I'm working on a booklet and have been able to export PDF versions of it yesterday but for some reason today it will not let me export a PDF anymore as it keeps telling prompting "Background Task Alert Failure." I've spent hours reading and trying all the recommended ways of fixing this and nothing is helping. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, and attempted to disable it somehow. Please help!!!
    Also, I am not tech savvy so please describe what I can do in dummy speak if possible.
    Thank you.

    Totally, Sorry for not including all of that information.

    Do you think it might be because one of the images is a PDF using a different font?

  • Background task problem wont let me export to PDF

    Dear community, I have been publishing a newsletter made in Indesign but for some reason, for the last version, when I try to export it to PDF, it reports one background task error.  I am trying everything but I don't manage to  identify what caused it.
    I can still create PDF with other applications, so I believe it must come from Indesign.
    Thanks for your help.

    What is the exact error message?

  • Background Task running under initiator not under WF-BATCH

    Hi All,
      I am trying to resolve a problem with a Background task running under intiator. Since the initiator does not have authorization to execute the task, it is not working.
    My understanding was, all background tasks will run under WF-BATCH!!. Is it correct?.  in 4.7, it is working this way.
    However in ECC 6.00  the background task before the first dialog work item is executed under 'intiator' in this case.  I have moved the same task after first dialog work item, and it was executed under WF-BATCH.. I cannot move the task after the dialog workitem as the task need to be executed immediatly after the creation of workflow.
    1. How can I run the task in backgroud under WF-BATCH?
    2. Inside the task, I am running a BDC to update a flag in downpayment transaction created using F-47. How can I run the process under batch user to overcome the authorization issue that initiator will not authorization.
    I am running this workflow in SAP ECC 6.0 level 13
    Any help is really appreciated..
    thanks in advance for your help.
    johnson

    This issue can be resolved with triggering the event using the additional flag export parameter 'CREATOR' in function module  ''SWE_EVENT_CREATE_FOR_UPD_TASK' as WF-BATCH. I was not passing this parameter and hence it didn't work in ECC 6.0 as it take who ran the process as creator and ran the background task under that users id.
    Thanks Rachid for your input to resolve this problem.

  • How do I enable Task Panes in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    I'm trying to use Acrobat 9 Pro at work, and I'm repeatedly being given instructions on how to do various things that all involve the Task Pane(s). However, at some point on this machine I (or the person before me, since I haven't ever used Acrobat before, most likely) somehow closed the Task Panes, and I've spent several hours on the internet trying to find how to re-open them again, to no avail. Please, there must be some simple button to press or menu item to enable for such a standard, oft-used feature. Help!
    PS - Also I've seen lots of "How-Tos" in my search that say "Go to View -> Show/Hide -> [...]" but I don't have a Show/Hide option in my View menu... is this only in Acrobat X and XI?
    Thanks,
    Tyler

    Thank you. Do you know if the Show/Hide Post Script is also an X/XI feature change?

  • Function module not working when used with 'In Background Task'

    hi,
    this is my code
    call function 'Z_IBD_FILL_ZINETACT'
                  in background task
                  destination  'SAPD220125'
                  tables
                      it_net1 = it_net1
                      it_net2 = it_net2
                      it_net3 = it_net3  .
    when this code is executed i am not getting any data in my internal tables i.e it_net1, it_net2, and it_net3
    but i changed this code see the below code
          call function 'Z_IBD_FILL_ZINETACT'
                 in background task (THIS IS COMMENTED)
                  destination  'SAPD220125'
                  tables
                      it_net1 = it_net1
                      it_net2 = it_net2
                      it_net3 = it_net3  .
    now i am getting data into my internal tables
    can any one tell me what can be the problem and how to solve it in my case
    its very urgent

    Hi,
    Pls. go through the  docu..
    CALL FUNCTION
    Variant 5
    CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK.
    Additions:
    1. ... AS SEPARATE UNIT
    2. ... DESTINATION dest
    3. ... EXPORTING  p1 = f1    ... pn = fn
    4. ... TABLES     p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
    Effect
    Flags the function module func to be run asynchronously. It is not executed at once, but the data passed with EXPORTING or TABLES is placed in a database table and the next COMMIT WORK executes it in another work process.
    Note
    This variant applies only as of Release 3.0, so both the client system and the server system must be Release 3.0 or higher.
    Note
    qRFC with Outbound Queue
    This is an extension of tRFC. The tRFC is serialized using queues, ensuring that the sequence of LUWs required by the application is observed when the calls are sent.
    For further information about qRFC, refer to the Serialized RFC: qRFC With Outbound Queue section of the SAP Library.
    Addition 1
    ... AS SEPARATE UNIT
    Effect
    Executes the function module in a separate LUW under a new transaction ID.
    Addition 2
    ... DESTINATION dest
    Effect
    Executes the function module externally as a Remote Function Call (RFC); dest can be a literal or a variable.
    Depending on the specified destination, the function module is executed either in another R/3 System or as a C-implemented function module. Externally callable function modules must be flagged as such in the Function Builder (of the target system).
    Since each destination defines its own program context, further calls to the same or different function modules with the same destination can access the local memory (global data) of these function modules.
    Note
    Note that a database commit occurs at each Remote Function Call (RFC). Consequently, you may not use Remote Function Calls between pairs of statements that open and close a database cursor (such as SELECT ... ENDSELECT).
    Addition 3
    ... EXPORTING p1 = f1 ... pn = fn
    Effect
    EXPORTING passes values of fields and field strings from the calling program to the function module. In the function module, formal parameters are defined as import parameters. Default values must be assigned to all import parameters of the function module in the interface definition.
    Addition 4
    ... TABLES p1 = itab1 ... pn = itabn
    Effect
    TABLES passes references to internal tables. All table parameters of the function module must contain values.
    Notes
    If several function module calls with the same destination are specified before COMMIT WORK, these normally form an LUW in the target system. Calls with the addition 1 are an exception to this rule - they each have their own LUW.
    You cannot specify type 2 destinations (R/3 - R/2 connections).
    (See Technical details and Administration transaction.)
    Example
    REPORT  RS41503F.
    /* This program performs a transactional RFC.
    TABLES: SCUSTOM.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: CUSTID FOR SCUSTOM-ID DEFAULT 1 TO 2.

  • User WF_BATCH dumps with TIME_OUT for a background task

    Hello,
    Situation :
    While executing a workflow with a task defined as background task, the workflow creates a dump in ST22 after around 40 minutes. dump is because of TIME_OUT exception. And the workflow stays in status InProcess forever.
    Question:
    In my opinion background tasks do not have a time limit because they are executed as backgound batch jobs with batch user WF_BATCH. Then why do I get a TIME_OUT error ?
    Is my assumption that workflow background task are just handled like other background jobs (sm36) is wrong ?
    More Details :
    I have a workflow with a task defined as background task (Task -> Basic Data -> Execution -> Check box 'Background processing' selected).
    This task calls a method defined as 'Synchronous' method.
    This method calls a ABAP FM having a select statement which selects large volume of Data.
    If I execute this FM in Dialog mode definately I get a TIME_OUT. I understand this.
    But what I do not understand is , while executing in background I do not expect TIME_OUT error since background jobs do not have a time limit. They can even run for several days.
    Please let me know in what cases does a background job throws a time_out exception.esp wrt workflow.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Qs about call FM in background task, and monitoring in SM37.

    Hi, guys, i got a question here, if I call a FM using addition "in background task" in a Z program, does this mean the FM process is running in background? And can I monitor my task in sm37?
    i've tried to do that, the FM was successfully proceeded, but I cannot see anything related to that task in SM37 under mine user ID.

    No, you cannot see that in SM37.
    What it means is that the function is being executed in a seprated thread and the program that called the function will continue the execution without waiting for the function finish execution, that means the function is called in a synchronous manner.

  • What is the use of CALL FUNCTION MODULE - AT BACKGROUND TASK?

    Hi experts,
    I found Call functional module in background task will make the FM run at the next commit work as some people said. So I have some questions:
    1 if we use COMMIT WORK commend, the pending FM will be called? If there are several FMs called at background task, what is the sequence of them? How many conditions will trigger the running of these FMs?
    2 Where can I find the log of this pending FMs? In SAP library, it says there are 2 tables. But I checked these tables and can only find the FM name and user of it. And I can not understand content of these tables. It seems one is for the main information of FM, and the other is for the data of the FM, maybe the parameters.
    3 If I call a FM in this way, Can I canncel it before the next commit work in some way?
    Finally, thanks for reading and help.

    HI,
    When the COMMIT WORK statement is executed, the function modules registered for the current SAP-LUW are started in the order in which they were registered. ROLLBACK WORK deletes all previous registrations for the current SAP-LUW.
    If the specified destination is not available when COMMIT WORK is executed, an executable program called RSARFCSE is started in background processing. By default, this tries to start the function modules registered for a SAP-LUW in their destination every 15 minutes and up to 30 times. These parameters can be changed in the transaction SM59. If the destination does not become available within the defined time, it is recorded in the database table ARFCSDATA as the entry "CPICERR". The entry in the database table ARFCSSTATE is deleted after a standard period of eight days

  • How to get return values In Background Task?

  • How to see the status of a FM IN BACKGROUND TASK?

    Hi experts,
    If I call a FM IN BACKGROUND TASK addition. I can't Debug the FM called in BACKGROUND TASK. Then whether there is a way to see the status of this FM IN BACKGROUND TASK? I want to know this task is finish or not.
    Thanks.

    Hi Kelvin,
    I am also facing similar problem. I have come across few documents which have suggeted the way to test the FM in background. For this you will have to change the debugging settings, its in the  Settings->Display and change all. Check the oprion for In background task.
    A good document on settings of debugging.
