Copying the background job

Hi,
I have a background job with has a start condition after execution of a particular event.
Now i need to copy this background job to another name and execute it. I tried using the function module BP_JOB_COPY, but that copied the background job without the job start conditions. How can i copy the background job along with start conditions.
Thank you in anticipation.

Hi Nikhil,

How to cancel the background job processing in ABAP programming?

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to cancel the job depending on some constraint. My code is something like this:
Select some data from the table.
if sy-subrc = 0.
Do nothing.
Else
Cancel the job
call function 'BP_JOB_ABORT'
exporting
   jobcount                         = number
    jobname                          = name
EXCEPTIONS
   CHECKING_OF_JOB_HAS_FAILED       = 1
   JOB_ABORT_HAS_FAILED             = 2
   JOB_DOES_NOT_EXIST               = 3
   JOB_IS_NOT_ACTIVE                = 4
   NO_ABORT_PRIVILEGE_GIVEN         = 5
   OTHERS                           = 6
The above code is cancelling the job but it is throwing an exception called CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_MISSING because i dint pass job count. How can we find the job count of next job that is going to run? Or How to handle the exception which it is throwing. Even if i try to handle that exception something like this:
TRY
call function 'BP_JOB_ABORT'
exporting
   jobcount                         = number
    jobname                          = name
EXCEPTIONS
   CHECKING_OF_JOB_HAS_FAILED       = 1

   JOB_DOES_NOT_EXIST               = 3
   JOB_IS_NOT_ACTIVE                = 4
   NO_ABORT_PRIVILEGE_GIVEN         = 5
   OTHERS                           = 6
RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_MISSING.
CATCH
CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_MISSING.
ENDTRY.
It avoids the exception but it doesnt cancel the job. I even tried with function modules like JOB_OPEN
JOB_SUBMIT,BP_JOB_SELECT,BP_JOB_ABORT and tried to build some logic using status overview table (TBTCO) and TBTCP (Jobstep overview table).
Can someone suggest me the right way to write this program ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Problem is solved.
Create an background job with 2 steps. The first step in the background job calls the program ZBACKJOB_STEP1. In the variant we have a wrong material number
If the material number is not found in Mara, the next step in the job should not get executed and the job should get cancelled..
In the above posts i had asked how do I get the job count of the job that is currently triggering the program at the runtimeu2026..If u see the below code uu2019ll get to know.. We have to use the standard structure TBTCM which captures the properties/characteristics of the job.
REPORT ZBACKJOB_STEP1.
TABLES: MARA,TBTCM.
PARAMETERS : MATNR TYPE MATNR.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM MARA WHERE MATNR = MATNR.

Certain Maintenance Plan not getting scheduled in the background job

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an issue here.
A weekly background job (RISTRA20) runs every weekend and schedules the maintenance plans.
But we have noticed that some maintenance plans are not getting scheduled. i.e no orders or schedule is getting generated.
When I run IP30 manually for these plans then the schedule gets generated and orders get called.
I have checked up the background job and it is running fine.
Also, i have noticed a similarity in all these plans which are not getting scheduled. There schedule has been restarted (through IP10) at somepoint or the other.
But i don't see any direct impact of this?
Can any of you provide some help on this?? Points will be rewarded.
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Saini

Hi Narender,
Thanks for replying.
The message number for 'Groups don't match' is ME303.
I think this does not have anything to do with the restart as i have done further investigation.
Whenever I run IP30 with sortfield input as AS02*, i get the error as mentioned above for a certain number of maintenance plans while the remaining plans get scheduled.
If i run IP30 for any other sort fields, it runs fine and i don't encounter the error
mentioned above.
If you send me ur email address, i could forward you screen-shots of the issue.

Actual Varaint Name used in the Background Job

Hi,
When a program is executed in Background made the selection screen variant selected is not the one that is shown in the Background Job Step information. There we see variant as &0000000000044.
I want to find the actual variant that was selected at the time of running the program in background mode.
Thanks.

Hi,
I also faced the same issue and after my R&D i found a workaround for this. Check this out.
Create a selection screen parameter and hide it.
PARAMETERS: po_varnt TYPE sy-slset NO-DISPLAY.
Now place below code in AT SELECTIO-SCREEN OUTPUT event.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
    CHECK sy-batch IS INITIAL.
    CLEAR po_varnt.
    MOVE sy-slset TO po_varnt.
If you are running in background by pressing F9 from selection screen, Use your hided parameter po_varnt for the variant name instead of sy-slset.
If you are running the report in foreground or through SM36 then you can use sy-slset to know the variant name.
Thanks,
Vinod.

How to schedule the background job if report have Presentation server files

Hi All,
I have searched the forums and found , the way for the scheduling the background job if report selection screen have the presentation server file input.
1. Using the Open data set method.
And my client is not OK with Open dataset way, it there any other way to do this, As we are using the EXCEL file.
Thanks and Regards,
Bharani

Hi,
As said above it is generally not possible. Since your client most obviously doesn't like graphical background I would recomend storing data as till now, but show it with your own report in more userfriendly way. For example:
- as ALV Grid
- in excel with use of OLE either as embedded in SAP or new window (check transaction OLE for example)
- with use of webdynpro

How to schedule the background job daily twice?

Hi,
How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
Regards,
Srihitha

see the step by step procedure.
Scheduling Background Jobs:
1. Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
2. To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
company codes).
3. While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
a. Time of printing: set to Send to SAP spooler Only for now
b. Name abbreviated name to identify the job output
c. Title free form description for the report output
d. Authorization a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
e. Department set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f. Retention period set to Do not delete if the report output needs to be retained for more
than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
Configuring user access:
1. To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
2. To access a particular jobs output in the spool, the user must have
S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
3. Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
BASE access (display).
On-line reports:
1. Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
from R/3. If a user clicks Parameters button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
Scheduling background jobs section. Thus any output created by an online report
can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
(access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
attributes, see p. 3.d of Scheduling background jobs section).
Access to reports output:
1. A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
2. The selection screen can be configured by clicking Further selection
criteria button (e.g. to bring Spool request name (suffix 2) field or hide other
fields).
3. The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled jobs outputs)
a. Spool request name (suffix 2) corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
Scheduling background jobs section above).
b. Date created to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c. Title corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in Scheduling background jobs
section above).
d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in Scheduling
background jobs section above).
4. Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button to
retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
5. From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
Configuring user access)
a. Click the Print button to print the spool request with the default attributes
(usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
specified when a job was created.
b. Click the Print with changed attributed button to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c. Click the Display contents button to preview the spool request contents. A
Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode.

Select the Job using SM37 transaction. In the Menu Choose
Job ---> Cancel Active Job.
Before you do this it may be good idea to check the pid using SM50.
It will be using a Background work process. Check the pid and the status.
Select the same and in the Menu Choose Process --> Cancel with Core.
Refresh and check in SM37 for the Active and Cancelled Jobs.

Hi,
Goto SM37 and see the log if any is there and based on that you can check the code.
you can't debug background job.
Create a Variant for the Program and

Go to SM36 create a Job
enter Program and Variant for that program in STEP..
click on Start Condition
Click on DATE and TIME enter date scheduled Start and END times
click on Period Values
Click on HOURLY/WEEKLY etc
CLick on RESTRICTIONS also to use further criteria.
so your job will be scheduled and run as per your requirement.
and in SM37 Transaction check the status of that JOB

Anything is like download to desktop or email is fine. But in MHTML format.
We can download the ALV report in MHTML spreadsheet format when we run the program online. But the program is running for long time and going to dump.
So i scheduled it as background job and downloading the output in .HTML format. But user wants the spool/report output in .MHTML spreadsheet format.
I can write the code. Instead of changing the existing program I would like to know is there any way (from standard SAP) that I can get the background spool in MHTML spreadsheet format.
Thanks,
Nalini

How to check the ALV output for the background job

Hi Guru,
We are having a cutomized report which will display the result like a ALV report.
We configured it as an background job, after the completion of the background job, it will send the result to the SPOOL, and we can use SP02 to check the output,
But it is not easy for user to directly check the result easily, is there an method we can save it as an spreadsheet and send the output to a specific location or mailbox and then user can check it easily
thanks,

In SM37 ,select the Job > Spool > Select Spool No > Display Contents > Here it will show you the Output of the Report.Now select Ctrl +Shift + F12 , it will ask you to save the Spread sheet in specified location.
Best Regards,
