COPA Report - Execution in Background

Friends,
We have a COPA report that takes very long time to execute. For this reason the user wants to schedule the report such that it executes in the background at month-end.
In order to test the scheduling of the report execution in background in Development system, I followed the following steps:
1) Selected the report to be executed using the t-code KE30.
2) Clicked on Report - Execute in background.
3) Filled in the execution parameters and since I did not want the print of the report, I ticked the checkbox 'Rebuild frozen report data' (I was getting the error message "Select either 'Print' or 'Save'".
4) Executed the report by pressing F8. I got the message 'Report data for the report saved'.
My question is how to view the report on screen when the report is executed in background?
Please advise at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

You cannot see this data as it is.
When you see the message 'Report data for the report saved'. It means that the system has performed a kind of summarization for the selection criteria you have entered. This is performance enhancement tool.
So you have to run the report again to view this report; but this time choose the option Read saved Data for the Read Mode under Status of Data. You can get to the see report output fairly quick.
SAP documnetation reads thus " <b>You create report-specific frozen report data by executing the report in the background and by choosing the Rebuild frozen report data option in the selection. When you call up the report again using the same selection, you have the option of displaying this frozen report data. If you would like more up-to-date frozen report data, you need to create this data again."</b>
Good luck.

How to Run a Report automatically in Background for every night

Hi,
How to run a report program in Background automatically for every nigh.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
You can use SM36 and use the "Job Wizard" to define a background job in simple step by step procedure
Or
Goto SM37 and specify a job name.
Next specify the ABAP Program Name of the report you want to execute under Job Step.
Then click on "Extended Job Selection" and goto the Period Tab.
There select "Only Periodic Jobs" and then specify the frequency of execution based on Months, Weeks, Days, Hours or Minutes.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Madhur

Does TotalPageCount affect report execution on production as well ?

Hi... As part of the mass report generation process an employee report needs to be run on production every month. The process runs for almost 2000-3000 customers and generats report for each of them. The static copies of this report is any mailed to each of tehse customers. The repot design uses TotalPageCount in a formula in the Page header of the report. I know use of this formula affects performance during report viewing. But does the use of TotalPageCount affect the report execution time when the report is being generated in mass numbers on production and scenario of report viewing does not exist ?

Thanks for your answers.
In my case, yes, the PDF reports are generated and then seperately mailed/emailed to the customers. What are the ways you are referring to so that the report performance can be improved ?
The java application calls the RAS with the required input parameters. The RAS execution code is abstracted and is not accessible to us. The PDF generated by RAS is stored at some physical location.
For your reference, my main report uses many subreports. I have done a detailed analysis of the report and no way can i get away with these subreports
There are some things I have noticed and would be glad if you could confirm the same :
1. I notice that there are many print time and on demand formulas present in the subreports but are not used. Should I remove them ? Does there presence affect report performance ?
2. Is there any way that performance of charts can be improved ?
3. Does using a lot of shared variables affect report performance ?
4. I have identified a few stored procs where the sorting can be transfered from report to stored procedure.
5. Is there an alternative way i can create the same effect for Page(TotalPageCount) in the page header without affecting the look of the report and also improving the performance of the report ?
Thanks in Advance !

Restatement and COPA Reporting

COPA reporting using costing keys

Hi,
I am using costing keys to access the different cost estimates in COPA. I have done the necessary configuration - created valuation strategy and assigned a point of valuation and assigned two costying keys - one for current and one for future costs. I have also mapped my value fields to each cost component. I mapped the one value field twice (representing each costing key) to each cost component.
My question is, when it comes to reporting, how do I show the values seperately that correspond to each costing key? Since I have the same value field being valued with current and future cost estimates, how are these shown separately in the COPA report? Or do I have to use two different value fields per cost component?
Much Appreciated

Just read the SAP documentation which says that you need to enter different value fields for the different costing keys (up to six).
Thanks to those who attempted.

Currency type in COPA report

I created a form to generate a COPA report. I selected "both company code and operating concern currency types while creating the form. Now, I need to be able to give the currency type as variable to have the user print the copa report whatever currency they want to print. It's cost based COPA /
How can I get the currency type as selection option? please advise.
Thanks,
Sri

From the form's general selection, select the currency type and define as local variable.

Why do I get a status of 'waiting' when I run a report in the background

Happy new Year Experts!!
I am working with Ad-hoc query and I run reports in the background. When I go to System > Own Spool Requests the status is always waiting. When I go to SM37 the status is complete. I can open the report from my own spools requests and it is completed.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jeanette

Go to SM36-> Own jobs - double click the job - Select Edit-Steps - DOuble click the step and check print specifications.
Moreover, if you wanna make the job printed on finish, make sure that there is a default printer defined in SU3 - Defaults - Output device field.

Issue in COPA Report Creation

Dear All,
I ave an issue in creation of COPA repor in KE30
We have created all P&L item as cost element except
1.Change in WIP for WIP calculation in Product Costing
2. Price Difference (OBYC- PRD) Variance will be calculated from settlement profile
Values in COPA are
1.     VV001 - Quantity (KWBRUM) Quantity field
2.     VV002 u2013 Price (PR00) Revenue account of sales (Cost Category 11)
3.     VV002 - Material Cost-COGS (VPRS)
4.     VV003 - Discount Given (SD Condition) (Cost Category 12)
5.     VV005 u2013 Fright (SD Condition) (Cost Category 12)
6.     VV005 u2013 Misc Exp (SD Condition) (Cost Category 12)
7.     VV006 - Consumption and Cost of Production, Revaluation, inv diff account
8.     VV007 u2013 admin expenses
9.     VV008 - Employees cost
10.     VV009 u2013 financial cost (interest paid etc deprecation cost, audit exp)
11.     VV010 u2013 Settlement of Variances of Production order (from settlement profile)
12.     VV011 - Other income GL accounts (including Exch Rate Diff, profit on sale of asset etc)
From VV005 to VV009 all the GL account included are created as primary cost element (C category 01)
and assigned in OKB9 as transfer to PA structure and assigned in PA transfer FI (direct posting form FI)
VV011 u2013 all the GL account created as Revenue (Cost Category 11)
Issue we are facing
1. In Consumption and Cost of Production GL account (Movement type 101 and 261 from production order ) we are not
able to generate Profit analysis document.
2. Price difference also come in picture at the time of Stock transfer and Price diff GL account is not created as cost element and how to flow that in copa, price difference from settlement will come from settlement profile.
Format we have created for COPA report is like
1.Quantity Field
2.Selling Price (PR00)
3 Material Cost (VPRS)
4 Discount Given
5. Fright
6. Misc Exp
7. Consumption and Cost of Production, Revaluation, inv diff account
8 admin expenses
9. Employees cost
10. financial cost
11 Settlement of Variances of Production order
12. Other income
13 Net Profit (Calculated Values ) ( 2- 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11+12)
Is this a correct logic I applied kindly suggest.
Regards

Want to add number of sales orders in a COPA report or form

Hi All
I created a COPA report that has two columns: sales from sales orders & sales from billing documents. Now I want to add columns which shows number of sales orders that make up sales. Can any one explain me , how can we acheive this With a user exit, .
thanks in advance for looking into this

Hi Steve,
Walter is very right in saying so.
In SD module itself you can get some reports like this.
Even in COPA you will get these kind reports. But if your company is a big company and have lots of sales orders,
Then you will have serious problems with System performance issue.
When you define that sale order is a segment level character, then system will ear up the resources and take very long time in executing the reports.
But for some reason this requirement is a must case, then it is very simple
you define Sale order in either form or report,
then give the variable parameters like Co.Code, Period etc. you will get all the sales orders details for the selected period
But think about not going for it before you make up your mind
Best Regards
Surya

Schedule measurement in SE30 - running a report in the background

Dear experts,
I have a long running ABAP report and I will need to analyze its runtime for performance improvements.
How may I correctly run this ABAP report in the background from SE30 (runtime analysis tool)? The report has to be run using a specific variant for its selection screen inputs as well.
This is what I have done:
1. Go to SE30
2. Click on "For User/Service" button under "Schedule"
3. Create new Schedule Measurement with the following details:-
- User (<my user name>),
- Client (<properly specified>),
- External Session (Any),
- Processing Category (Background Processing),
- Object Type (Report),
- Object Name (<ABAP report program name>),
- Max. No. of Scheduled Measurements (1),
- Expiration Date & Time (<properly specified>)
5. In the screen "Overview of Scheduled Measurements", I have the following displayed as well:-
- Scheduled = 1
- Started = 0
- Errors = 0
- Status = Being processed
Am I still on the right track here? (Started = 0 and there was no way I could specify the variant for the selection screen input values too)
Please help. Appreciate any inputs at all.
Thanks.

Hi,
you can try it with ST12 and the <ALL Servers> Option for tasktype B.
see this blog:
/people/hermann.gahm/blog/2010/03/22/st12-150-tracing-user-requests-tasks-http
ST12 uses SE30 / ST05 behind the covers. But here you can switch on
the trace for all servers and therefore don't have to take care for that yourself.
Kind regards,
Hermann
