Hi
U've to transfer the file to a path of Application Server and use statament OPEN DATASET/READ DATASET/CLOSE DATASET to read the file.
U can't run your report in background if you need to read the file from the pc (Presentation Server).

BAPI in Background mode

Hi,
How to schedule BAPI in Background mode.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Madhavi

Hi,
When you create a batch input session, it remains in the batch input queue until it is explicitly started. Session processing can be started in two ways:
An on-line user can start the session using the batch input menu options. (To access the batch input options, choose System>Services>Batch Input.)
You can submit the background job RSBDCSUB to start a session in background processing. If several sessions have the same name, RSBDCSUB starts them all.
It's possible to coordinate the generation and execution of a session in the background processing system.
You can, for example, schedule both the batch input program and RSBDCSUB in the background. If you designate the batch input job as the predecessor for RSBDCSUB, then RSBDCSUB will be started automatically when the batch input job successfully completes.
Alternatively, you can schedule both the batch input program and RSBDCSUB as job steps in a single background job. In this case, however, RSBDCSUB is started even if the batch input program should terminate abnormally.
Hope this will help you.

Can we execute BAPI in background?

Hi All,
I have a report in which i have used BAPI . I need to execute that report in background via a variant.
Is it possible to run a BAPI in background ?
Please suggest ?
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hello Srinivas,
BAPI is not standalone entity it has to be called by some other entity for e.g. report, function module, object method etc.
So, it is not possible to run BAPI in background. Workaround to this problem is to create report calling BAPI and then schedule
that report in background.
For more information on JOB scheduling see following link:

Error in Check in of Originals by BAPI In background

Hi Friends
We have requirement to check in the documents in DMS in background mode using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN_REPLACE2 . Original files are stored on
application server in folder G: drive . When I run this BAPI in foreground mode it runs
fine. But in background mode it gives error u2018Program no longer
started via RFCu2019. No return possible.u2019 I debugged the BAPI and found that error occurs at
function module 'CV120_FTP_START_REG_SERVER in include LCV120F06.
Error occurs when it calls SYSTEM_START_REG_SERVER.
When this program runs in background it is unable to find SAPGUI.
That is why it fails while calling function module RFC_PING inside function module
CV120_FTP_START_REG_SERVER at line 28.
I have referred note 505891 for DMS related issues.
But when this BAPI runs in background it fails to check in.
We have also requirement to check in files located at remote FTP location.
Whether this is possible or not.
With Regards
Mangesh Pande

Hi Mangesh,
I'm facing the same problem, could you please give us some further explanations?
->Files are on the same server
->Checkin always fails (RFC-Callback not allowed)
->online works always fine (sure: with gui-download instead of FTP->No probs)...
Does it mean, i need a special Storage category? the one i have has the vault-Indicator...
Thanks in advance for any information and greetings from France...

Return Messages for a BAPI run in Background

Hi all,
I am running a BAPI( BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE ) in Background task, It works fine and updates the Sales order but i dont get any return messages.But based on the return messages i need to show up on the report which orders got updated and which are not.....
Can anyone help me how can i get the return messages when i run a BAPI in background task......

Thanks for the quick response....I think you got me wrong...I am not running the program as a background job....I am running only the bapi in background task as below.....
            CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'
               IN BACKGROUND TASK AS SEPARATE UNIT
                 EXPORTING
                      salesdocument    = v_vbeln
                      order_header_in = it_bapisdh1
                      order_header_inx = it_bapisdh1x
                 TABLES
                      return           = it_return
                      partnerchanges   = it_bapiparnrc.
When the bapi runs as a background task i dont get any return messages in it_return but the sales order gets updated....
But i will have to capture the return messages as well....How can i achieve that ?

BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 fails in Background

Hi everyone,
I wrote an ABAP-report calling BAPI 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'.
This ABAP has to create a document and upload files per FTP into DMS (Checkin)
Works Online fine (cause the BAPI avoids FTP as a GUI is online available) but miserably fails in background:
Message: RFC callback calls are not allowed in the ABAP...
This message comes from a failed call of the FM 'SYSTEM_START_REG_SERVER'
in the FM 'CV120_FTP_START_REG_SERVER' as described in an old thread (Error in Check in of Originals by BAPI In background)
Sample of the BAPI-call:
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'
    EXPORTING
      documentdata         = documentdata
      pf_ftp_dest          = 'SAPFTPA'
    IMPORTING
      documenttype         = documenttype
      documentnumber       = documentnumber
      documentpart         = documentpart
      documentversion      = documentversion
      return               = return
    TABLES
      documentdescriptions = documentdescriptions
      objectlinks          = objectlinks
*      documentstructure    = documentstructure.
*      documentfiles        = documentfiles
*      documentstructure    = documentstructure.
      documentfiles        = documentfiles.
I tried a lot, even in 2 steps (first create the doc per BAPI, second checkin per call of CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN)
but in everycase, i always get the same problem...
Any help will greatly be appreciated : i daily and manually (ok, even if 1 report launch per day is sufficent) have to upload aprox.
2000 PDFs ...
Thanks in advance for answering...
Edited by: Guillaume Delorme on May 5, 2010 11:08 AM

Hi everyone,
Due to holidays, i gotta post under another account...
There was a logical mistake in my problem:
-> i thought i had to do the physical checkin of the files while or after the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2-call.
In my case, the content-server is reachable from the app-server as it's been defined in the AL11.
The content-server is directly defined in table TDWD with complete directorypath as a vault-server (NO DVA-VAULT).
The SAP-FBs do actually handle two cases for file-checkin that can suit my concern::
-> DVA-Vault?->FTP-Connect for filetransfer
-> No DVA-Vault? ->Local GUI-Upload for filetransfer
For background-processing fails always the GUI-Upload -> normal
I don't use any DVA-Vault -> i must do something else.
Solution: Ridiculously easy...
*-> FIRST :Physical Checkin over a stupid TRANSFER DATASET for the file.
*If OK:
*->SECOND: Call of BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 with reference to the transferred File
*      ->Structure BAPI_DOC_DRAW2:
*          -> Short Dataname in BAPI_DOC_DRAW2-docfile1
*          -> Datacarrier in BAPI_DOC_DRAW2-datacarrier1 (actually the key for the VAULT-server)
*          -> App.type in BAPI_DOC_DRAW2-wsapplication1.
*          -> Description, Documentype, username, laboratory are must-fields with my customizing too.
*       ->Internal Table BAPI_DOC_FILES2:
*          -> Short Dataname in BAPI_DOC_FILES2-docfile
*          -> Datacarrier in BAPI_DOC_FILES2-storagecategory (actually the key for the VAULT-server)
*          -> App.type in BAPI_DOC_FILES2-wsapplication.
*          -> no other fields required for this table
*       ->(...)
*endif.
Now it runs fine every 5 minutes and i handle about 3000 documents a day...
I give points to Phillip van den Heever who reminded me the AL11-Setting and i mark this topic solved as soon as i can...
Thanks to everyone and greets,
Guillaume Delorme

BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW in background

Hello,
I want to copy an original file from a document info record to a server.
I tried to use BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW.
(I also tried BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW2 and CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_VIEW.)
I use the BAPI in a workflow. When i call the workflow in dialog, it works (the files is copied). But when i call the workflow in background, it doesn't work.
Does anybody know why or does anybody have experience with this??
Thanks in advance!
Werner.

Excel file upload in background

Hi
any one inform me how to Excel file will be Executed as a background job.
The Excel file will be executed as a background job.
This will eliminate issues related to network speed,
time-outs,user logging off,ect;
and the need for the user to remain logged in to the transaction till it finishes
execution. After the background job completes the output report will be sent to the
user via email as an attachment.
Regards

Duplicate thread.
Edited by: kishan P on Aug 24, 2010 10:39 AM

hi,
function module for email attachment -
function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
function module for background schedule - u2018ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLEu2019
When scheduling a job in the background the appropriate statement to read in your file is OPEN DATASET, and the file must be on the file system that the SAP server can see.
At anytime, a user can switch of the Personal Computers even though the job is still running in the background. Therefore GUI_* and WS_* function modules are not designed to work in that way, as they need to access your personal computer file.
To choose the correct download method to used, you can check the value of SY-BATCH in your code,
if it is 'X' use OPEN DATASET and if it is ' ' use WS_UPLOAD.

How to prevent plant locking issue while calling a BAPI? Please help!

Hi Experts,
   I have following scenario:
   BizTalk sends 4B2 PIP to XI via JMS adapter. XI then sends the same to ECC system via ABAP Proxy.
   4B2 PIP in our case contains one PO header and one line item.
   In ECC, ABAP proxy calls BAPI to process the GR (Goods Receipt).
   The problem is BizTalk can send many 4B2 PIPs simultaneously (Parallel). When The first PIP is getting processed in ECC the BAPI locks some plant data till it completes the GR. But if second PIP request comes when the first once is still getting processed then we get "plant is locked" error.
   How can we avoid this plant locking error? What is the best option to solve this?
While calling BAPI in my ECC ABAP Proxy if I use qRFC as given by the code below then will it solve the problem?
Will this use only one queue "QUEUE01" for all the 4B2 PIP requests?
Will it create a new queue for every request?
If we assume that there are 3 PIP requests already in a queue. If the GR processing for the first PIP returns some data error (not the locking error) in the BAPIRETURN then will the second PIP gets processed or will it wait till the first one is successfully processed?
   CALL FUNCTION 'TRFC_SET_QUEUE_NAME'
      IMPORTING
         QNAME = 'QUEUE01'.
CALL FUNCTION '<CREATE GR BAPI>'
IN BACKGROUND TASK
EXPORTING
     TABLES ....
COMMIT WORK.
Thanks & Regards

Man, you guys/gals are great! You notice everything...I sure appreciate all the help so far. I've updated a few things, but I still can't get x1 in the method to pass the right input to line 39. For instance, if I set a=2, b=4, and c=-30, then x1 should = 3 and x2 should =-5, but both keep showing -5. They are always equal for some reason, even when they are not supposed to be.
I see what you were saying with d always equalling zero. I was looking in the main where it doesn't always = zero, but in the method it was always set to zero. Thanks...good eye!
num1 = quad(a, b, c, 1);                              //line 39
num2 = quad(a, b, c, 2);                              //line 40
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "There are two real roots. They are root 1 = "+ num1 + " , and root 2 = " + num2 + ".");I also added this to the method so d won't always = zero
d = (Math.pow(b,2) - (4 * a * c));I also have all of the variables declared at the top, but I forgot to copy and paste all of them and I updated the System.exit(0) to close the JOptionPane along with extra } 's to close the program correctly.
Again, thanks a bunch.

BAPI bapi_doc_draw2

Hi Gurus,
I am using bapi "bapi_doc_draw2" to pass data for a new document. and using bapi "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2" to create a new document.
But i am getting an error - "Class type T01 : class T_CLASS_MAINT_WI not found"
Please help me with this error
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi Shruti,
please note that DMS BAPIs require always a SAPGUI channel or open RFC
connection to start the SAPHTTP/SAPFTP program that is used to up- or
download files to the client. If the BAPI ist executed in background
mode, the system doesn't know from where to get the original file.
Please do not use BAPIs in background mode, use APIs instead. They are
more flexible regarding RFC calls (background processing). I hope the
SAP note 504692, which contains sample programs for special
checkin/checkout cases could be useful for you. Please read this note and use the sample
programs as a basis for your own coding. Further please see also note
796709 which also might contain useful information for such cases.
Best regards,
Christoph
