Batch input session Information message
Hi,
Is there any way to display information messages in a batch input session. Suppose I have a batch input session running on a particular transaction.If in a particular screen, I want to display an information message to the user that ' Particular sales order has been created on date xx'. Is it possible.
Thanks &* Regards,
Vishnu Priya
Hello,
It is not possible in the Batch input Session.
You can do it by <b>Call transaction</b>. But it not possible to give message at particular screen. Becuase we are only passing screen seq and data for the screen.
Like,
Call transaction Va01.
if something is there,
message I
endif.

Messages in a batch input session
Hi,
I would like to catch the messages of a batch input session in order to inform user of clearing itens posted and not posted.
So i thought that SX_MESSAGE_TEXT_BUILD would work fine. Somebody can give an example of this kind of code.
Of course if you know another mean of solve the problem i will appreciate that.
Best Regards
João FernandesHi,
loop at i_yerrlog into wa_yerrlog.
v_msg_id = wa_yerrlog-msgid.
v_msg_no = wa_yerrlog-msgnr.
v_msg_var1 = wa_yerrlog-msgv1.
v_msg_var2 = wa_yerrlog-msgv2.
v_msg_var3 = wa_yerrlog-msgv3.
v_msg_var4 = wa_yerrlog-msgv4.
* Creating message text
call function 'MESSAGE_PREPARE'
exporting
msg_id = v_msg_id
msg_no = v_msg_no
msg_var1 = v_msg_var1
msg_var2 = v_msg_var2
msg_var3 = v_msg_var3
msg_var4 = v_msg_var4
importing
msg_text = v_text1.
move-corresponding wa_yerrlog to wa_output2.
move v_text1 to wa_output2-mstxt.

'S' message in BDC and message of type 'A' in batch input session
We have to upload data for ABZON transaction of assets. When we use LSMW with recording method and try to upload say 3 records. All teh records are updated successfully but the batch input session log says last two records with a message of type 'A' "leave transaction is not possible in batch input"
But when we upload the same data with BDC program with call transaction then teh log shows same message with type 'S'.
what could be the reason for this?
Though data gets uploaded successfully the 'A' message is being displayed in LSMW batch input log.
if anyone has encountered a similar problem pls let us know how to resolve this asap.
Thanks,
SimmiDid your batch input end with save ( /11 ) or what ok_code are you using ?

Batch input session to FB01 using standard program RFBIBL00
Hi all,
I am creating a batch input session using the standard program RFBIBL00 to simulate transaction FB01.
My problem is when I process the "batch input session" (using transaction SM35), this finish ok, but in the log I am retrieving the following message:
"Field BSEG-DMBTR. does not exist in the screen SAPMF05A 0300"
This is a success message and the document is created ok,and the field DMBTR is informed ok.
Has somebody some idea?.
Thanks so much in advance for any answer.Hi gundam,
1. Or is there any method to wait here until the process is completed before further processing?
There is no such direct method to wait.
2. Immediately after submitting in background,
we cannot wait
neither can we LOOP and go on detecting
whether the b/g process has completed or not !
3. To over come such problems,
we have to use another technique.
4. we have to submit another
job which will get triggered
on event SAP_END_OF_JOB
ie. when the original job will finish,
our new job will AUTOMATICALLY get triggered,
5. This new job / program
will do the FURTHER actions !

Batch input session for FI postings
At the time of batch input session processing for FI postings (Transaction FB01), session is terminated due to following error message -
Message no. 00349
Field BSEG-PRZNR. does not exist in the screen SAPMF05A 0302
Batch session has been created using LSMW for data upload. As per field status of the GL account, some of the line items may or may not require an entry for particular field. How can we ignore this error during batch input session when a field is not required to be input for a particular GL account. However, flat file format contains this field because it is required for some of the GL accounts.
Let me know if you need more information / example. I desperately need a solution.
Regards,Dear Abhilasha,
Lets assume you have two gl accounts gl1 and gl2. gl1 requires this field to be entered, whereas gl2 does not allow you to enter value.
In this case, modify your logic as below:
I believe you can write code in LSMW as well.
However, if you are using BDC you can write logic as follows:
if gl_account_field = gl1.
PERFORM bdc_field USING 'BSEG-PRZNR'
value.
endif.
Hope this will help.

BDC programming using Batch input Session.
Hello Experts.
I'm an ABAP beginner. I've benn practicing BDC programming using Batch input Session
at the moment.
This is the program that upload Local file which has plural records, and put the records into a Session.
These are the records.

I succeeded making Session.
However, for some reaseon, every record in the Session has got the same, value which is the first record.
Why is this happening? And How can I correct the code below?

How to see the Batch input session name in SM35 with User name.
Hi
Yesterday,User has created one Batch input session from FBWE and selected process button after that display errors only tick mark in SM35. Then the system displayed one error message"No Batch input data for screen SAPMF05A 0700".After that he came out from the screen. He dont know what happened.
Today we have verified in SM35. But there is no batch input session with his name. We have verified in incorrect screens and every thing in SM35.
We have verified in Table 'T045DTA'. There are some entries are there.
We dont know the session name also.
How we can find the session name created by the User.
We have not deleted any thing.
Please help me
Thanks
Ravi.Hi Ravi,
Yes, you should be able to create a new batch job for FBWE. You can see your own batch sessions from SYSTEM ==> OWN JOBS

How do I create a data set ready for a batch input session
Hi:
I don't know how to create a data set ready for an BATCH-INPUT SESSION.I know that with the function BDC_INSERT make de input online, but my requirement is that generate the data set and left to the user get in de SM35 transaccion and decide to him if it's execute or not. I have all the information in a BDCDATA table.
Any clue would be great!!You just have to do:
BDC_OPEN_GROUP (Open new batch)
BUILD BDC DATA (Your own code)
BDC_INSERT (Insert BDC data you have built in step 2)
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP (Close batch)
This will just create a new batch and it can be processed in SM35.
To build BDC data:
LOOP AT your_input_table.
<<here you have to use the code generated from recording in trasaction SHDB>> (i.e. bdc_dynpro and bdc_field performs)
ENDLOOP. -
Number of transactions in the current batch input session ...

How to control a Number of transactions in the current batch input session ...

Pls help. I'm new to LSMW
Thanks

I see.
Just my two cents on this:
- you enable auditing, when there is a requirement for it (business/legal wise), so it isn't really about the technical overhead
- and of course there is overhead. It's just the question whether or not your users will see a increased response time because of that.
> how can i check these stats in DB level. (table/view)
Check V$SYSSTAT and V$SYSMETRIC on Oracle level.
These should contain the information you like to see.
(btw: in my first reply I referred to how easy it is to create these statistic information on DB kernel level )

SM35 - manual processing of the batch input session
Hello,
In SM35 I see that some batch input sessions were processed by user XXX-XXXX (user type:System) (in our case INT-3528) in N mode. The question is: how to determine the exact user who has really processed that session? We need to stop that - I guess - automatic processing of the sessions and process them manually.
Thanks for help,
SlawekHi,
also, you can check the logs directly in SM35. So if any documents were posted (or anyting updated in the system) information about what happened should be shown there.
If there were acounting documents (table BKPF), I think the user name will be the same system user "who" has processed the sessions.
I think that your basis team has set up the system in a way that batch input sessions are processed automatically. This is simialr when scheduled jobs are running under a pseudo user name (system user, IT user, not a real person behind). You can ask the basis team to switch off this automatic processing competely or only for selected sessions.
Hope that helps, points welcome

Stopping a batch Input session
Hi,
I need to stop a job which is being processed. Please tel me how do i acheive this.
I've tried SM37 & went for release but it says 'cannot be done because of the stattus it has'
I've also tried to stop the batch using the push button in Appl tool bar in SM37 but still i have the same message.Hi..,
In the BDC_OKCODE,
give <b>/n</b> to stop that particular transaction...
give <b>/bend</b> to quit the entire Session....
You can interrupt the interactive execution of a session by entering the<b> /bend</b> OK code on any screen. <b>/bend </b>terminates the transaction currently being executed in the session and marks the transaction with the status Incorrect. The session is kept in the queue and is displayed in the Errors section of the list. Changes made by the interrupted transaction are rolled back as long as the transaction uses only the R/3 update facility. Direct database changes made by the transaction are not rolled back.
You can use <b>/bend</b> when testing sessions. For example, you may wish to run the first transactions of a large session in display-all mode to make sure that the session has been generated correctly.
You can restart processing of a transaction by entering the <b>/bbeg</b> OK code on any screen. <b>/bbeg </b>terminates the transaction that is currently being processed and then restarts the transaction fresh, as it is recorded in the batch input session. Any changes made by the transaction are rolled back, as long as they were made only by way of the R/3 update facility. Changes made directly to the database are not rolled back.
You can delete a transaction from a session during interactive execution by entering the <b>/bdel</b> OK code. The transaction is removed from the session. The deleted transaction cannot be run even if you restart the session, and you cannot take back the deletion.

LSMW Issue at step -Run Batch Input Session
Dear gurus,
While uploading service master through lSMW while processing the system prompts a message specifying "Buffertable not upto date" at Run Batch Input Session step .So please investigate what is missing/wrong.
Wirth regards,
RajI dont think that this has directly something to do with LSMW.
It is more related to the transaction your try to post in the batch input.
Search OSS with the error message number. I had seen some notes for number SE001, but your message is actually twice in the message table, and you did not tell the message number.
If it is message SE001, then you may find programm corrections in OSS.
Otherwise just log out and in again and try, or open a message at OSS yourself if the problem still persists -
How to delete batch input session still in process since year 2000
Hi All,
in our productive system we have still batch input session in process from year 2000, and I would like to delete them, but how to do this, because the error message is "Unable to schedule session .....".
Thanks for your helpHi Olivier ,
Such error occurs when you are trying to run session in foreground and some error occurs with connection.
As such these session are not harmful in any way. You can request basis person to remove those sessions.

LSMW - Error in Inventory - Create batch input session
Hello good day.
I'm trying to create a batch input session for inventory upload (Standard Batch Input program - RM07MMBL) and when I select the Name of logical file = "MM_INVENTORY_MANAGEMENT_GOODS_MOVEMENT" and press F8, the following error occurs:
<b>Sequential file mmgoods cannot be opened

Now as the legend says.... I've contacted my system administrator and he keeps telling me everything is ok, but the error keeps appearing, where can I see if I have authorization for this "file" ???
Where is it created ??
I need more info on this.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Juango to file transaction n check for the logical file path and logical file weather it is defined correctly r not?
if it is correctly defined check for the file, weather the flat file is defined at the correct location which is defined in the logical file path

LSMW- Batch Input session getting error
Hi All,
I created LSMW object for Tcode KO01 and its creating the Internal order as expceted.But even after creating the document the Batch Input session status is showing incorrect.No messages are also displayed in the log.
Please let me know why this is happening.
Thanks in Advance,
SavithaHi,
Detail Error Message is as follows:
No batch input data for screen SAPLIMR0 1110
Message no. 00344
Diagnosis
The transaction sent a screen that was not expected in the batch input session and which therefore could not be supplied with data.
Possible reasons:
1. The batch input session was created incorrectly. The sequence of screens was recordly incorrectly.
2. The transaction behaves differently in background processing in a batch work process than when running in dialog (SY-BATCH is queried and changes the screen sequence).
3. The transaction has undergone user-specific Customizing and therefore certain screens may be skipped or processed differently, according to the current user. If the person who created a batch input session is not the same as the person now processing it, this problem may occur frequently.
System Response
None.
Procedure
For 1: Either re-create the session or process it in expert mode. Correct the batch input program.
For 2. It is very difficult to analyze this problem, particularly in the case that the screen sequence or the display-only options of fields differ according to whether the transaction is being processed in the background or as an online dialog. It could also be that this kind of transaction cannot run with batch input.
For 3: Have the creator of the session process it. If no error occurs now, then this is a program with user-specific Customizing.

ababfk
