Calling FM in background

Hi All,
I have a requirement to call one function module in background job. To acheive this, I tried to call this FM in another FM using 'IN BACKGROUND TASK' option. But this option is not scheduling it as a background job, rather its running this FM as a dialog session in background. And it gets terminated after the dialog timeout period.
The other option is to call this FM in a program and submitting this program in background. But as the input parameter of this FM is complex structure, I am not able to pass this complex table to the pragram.
Can you please suggest some solution..
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Not sure , but Try using AS SEPARATE UNIT.
CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK
[DESTINATION dest]
[AS SEPARATE UNIT].

Creation of spool for job created by calling FM in background task

Hi Gurus,
1.Wanted to confirm if it is possible to attach spool to the job that has been created by calling a function module in background task.
Currently I have created one RFC enabled FM and called it in background task. It runs fine, and the job is created which can be seen in SM37. But it does not contain the spool even if the RFC FM contains the code for list ALV.
2. Also is it possible to control the name of the job created by calling the RFC FM in background task?
Code for calling the FM is given below(ZK_XX is th RFC FM):
CALL FUNCTION 'ZK_XX' IN BACKGROUND TASK
CALL FUNCTION 'START_OF_BACKGROUNDTASK'
EXPORTING
   startdate       = sy-datum
   starttime       = sy-uzeit
NOSEND          = ' '
COMMIT WORK.
Thanks a lot for your help!!

I need to do the processing in background. Hence using 'IN BACKGROUND TASK' addition.
Please let me knowif you have some idea.

Call function in background task... How to get the result?

I want to use Call function in background task parameter.
But I cannot find the result of this function. (No export parameter, no table result, no exception)
How to get the result of this function module? Correct or not?

Hi Heinz,
You can check the result in SM58 transaction.
For more information pls. refer this thread :

Hi charles,
Use the mode 'N'
Example:-
DATA:
fs_opt TYPE ctu_params.
fs_opt-dismode = 'N'.
CALL TRANSACTION 'PA30' USING t_bdcdata OPTIONS FROM fs_opt.

Call transaction in Background job

Hi,
I am executing a program in background. In that program I am having a CALL TRANSACTION as below:
CALL TRANSACTION 'ME22'
    USING g_t_bdctab
    MODE 'N'
    UPDATE 'S'
    MESSAGES into g_t_bdcmsg.
But it is not working. The same is working when the program is executed in foreground.
Is this means, we cannot have CALL TRANSACTION in background?
If Yes, then what could be the solution for it?
Thanks,
Pankaj.

Hello Pankaj,
Call transaction works in background.
Provided you are not picking file from presentation server.
If you are picking file from presentation server, place the same file in application server and during background job pick the file from application server then your program works perfectly.

Problem in Call Transsaction in background..

Dear Friends ,
I have written Call Transaction (BDC) inside the program.
In output it will diaplays the document numbers and those document numbers r updated in one Tcode(through call transaction).
if i run in Foregroung the documents numbers updating in that Tcode. but in Background it is not updating in that Tcode..
What could b d probelm...

Hi !
Generally Call-Transaction in background is working fine...
Check something out:
- Do you get any errors back from the Call-Transaction ?
- Does the background-user have permission do execute
the called transaction ?
- Is the update-task on the background-server running
(SM13) (If you have saparate server for background)
- put an explicid COMMIT WORK after you call transaction
(if you can do so). Commonly updatetask starts it's
work by getting an COMMIT WORK.
In dialog there's an implicid COMMIT WORK when
then LIST oder the SELECTION-SCREEN apperas again.

Some points would be nice if that helped...

Save Order - Call function in background Task

Hi all,
I have written a function module which is called in order save Badi and copies the system status on the Master contract to the sub contracts.
This works fine but when I call this function in background task the status is not getting copied over.For testing I have created a program similar to function module and scheduled that in background and this was working as required.
Can someone please let me know if I missed out anything or how can i resolve this issue.
Any inputs in this regard would be very helpful.
Thanks and regards,

General BADi question:Call BADi in background job/batch input. Possible?

Hi out there,
i'm using thoe following BADi: /SAPSLL/CTRL_SD0C_R3 (Global Trade Service).
But also, this question is a general question.
If we are calling on screen the transaction VF01, the BADi is called correctly.
But unfortunately it seemes that the BADi is NOT called (im not really sure, cause i can't debug the background task) when we are calling a batch input sequence wth f.e. form bdc_transaction VF01 nothing happens.
Maybe BADi cannot be called in a background task? If it's possible, how could it be monitored. Thare isw no spool entry or anything like that!
Any answer can help.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Timo

Hi,
generally BADIs are called in background mode. You can use the following trick to debug your BADI. You just need to create an infinite loop in your BADI implementation. Something like this.
DATA: l_a TYPE c.
WHILE l_a IS INITIAL.
ENDWHILE.
Obviously when your BADI is called in background mode then program will get into infinite loop. You can easily connect and debug running programs from transaction SM50. You need to select your background process and go to Program/Session -> Program -> Debugging. You will jump directly into your BADI methos with infinite loop. Then you will just set value to l_a and you will start debugging your BADI. If you can not find any process then your BADI is not called in background mode.
Cheers

Help with Designing a Website Call to Action Background

Hi there,
This is my first post here, but I am having a bit of trouble designing a background call to action background for my website. My website is a common responsive 980px site but the problem is how I should go about designing a background that will properly adjust to the reponsive nature of the site.
If you want to have a look at what I mean here is my site, Galactic FX,
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Kieren Hovasapian.

Mazza,
Try this VI out. It returns a boolean instead of an integer, but this is really the same thing from what you are talking about.
You would use this VI as a subVI. It will pop up and allow user data entry. It passes the boolean out of it to see if the login was successful or not. You could also change things so that the password comparison (password in my case) is an input to the subVI as well.

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.

Ravi

Call Function in Background Task

Hi all,
I have written a method in which I call a function in background task, I would like to perform a task after the function has ended succesfully. this is possible with the addition PERFORMING 'next_task' ON END OF TASK.
This is sadly not possible in a global class.
How can I get info back on the state of the function in the background?
greetings Fred.

Hi,
   try using export import statement in FM

   endfunction
    import flag from memory id 'TEST'.
    if flag = 'Y'.
      perform next_task.
      endif.

Call Transaction in background mode

Hi everyone,
What I am currently trying to do is to perform a 'call transaction' while forcing the 'background processing' mode even when the user is running the program in online mode; this allows me to retrieve a lot more messages that are useful to the user than the messages generated in online mode.
As long as I have seen there is no field for that in the options table that can be passed to the 'call transaction' sentence. The only way to see that behavior while in online mode is by 'playing back' a recording thru the SHDB transaction and checking the 'Simulate background' option.
My first attempt was to set the SY-BATCH flag before doing the call transaction but it doesn't work, the flag seems to reset itself with the correct value during the call.
Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sergio

You would have to create a job on the fly to do this. This example shows how to kick off a background job via an ABAP program.
report zrich_0004 .
data:   sdate type sy-datum,
        stime type sy-uzeit,
        l_valid,
        ls_params like pri_params,
        l_jobcount like tbtcjob-jobcount,
        l_jobname like tbtcjob-jobname.
start-of-selection.
* Get Print Parameters
call function 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
       exporting
            no_dialog      = 'X'
       importing
            valid          = l_valid
            out_parameters = ls_params.
* Open Job
l_jobname = 'ZRICH_0005'.
call function 'JOB_OPEN'
       exporting
            jobname = l_jobname
       importing
            jobcount = l_jobcount.
* Submit report to job
submit zrich_0005
       via job     l_jobname
           number l_jobcount
       to sap-spool without spool dynpro
           spool parameters ls_params
              and return.
* Schedule and close job.
call function 'JOB_CLOSE'
       exporting
            jobcount = l_jobcount
            jobname   = l_jobname
            strtimmed = 'X'

CALL Transaction in background not working pls help URGENT

hi i have writtin a bdc program which uses CALL TRSANCTION everything is working in foreground.
if i schedule the program in background the call transaction does not work. any idea why?????????
pls help its urgent

hi
good
have you checked in the debug mode, if you have checked in the debug mode check wheather it is giving any error before data is displaying in the screen, if any error is displaying as a message than check that error why it is coming there.
If no error is coming than check your flow of the bdc screen in the debug mode , there must be some prob, so that it is not working in the background.
thanks
