Creating a variant for background scheduling

Hi All ,
I have  3 seperate executable programs which take filename as an input on the selection screen ( from the application server ) . Now the requirement is to schedule these programs as background jobs using a variant , but the variant is not possible as there can be many files in the directory at the same time with different filenames.
We need to execute all the avalaible files in the application server directory at that time .
If someone can give any idea how it can be possible to schedule these in background  , I would appreciate the same .
Thanks
Ankit

hi,
One thing u can do is,
Store the filename into one txt file,
and through program read this file for your input purpose,
that which prog. has to run....
I hope this will help u.
thanks

  • Change variant for background scheduled jobs

    Hi experts,
    I want to schedule the report RKO7KO8G in background.
    Two of the selection parameters of this report are Settlement period & Settlement year.
    This report should be executed in the background every month. For this the period parameter should change every month
    , like for example when the report executes in background in May then period should be 05, June - period should be 06
    and so on.
    i.e. the variant should change.
    For this how do i create a dynamic variant. I tried to create dynamic variant but it says that the parameter
    should be a date field. However, the settlement period field over has input from 001 to 999 & not date field.
    I want to schedule this report in background on a monthly basis and change its input parameter Settlement period
    as per the month.
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Priti.

  • Regarding Variants for Background jobs

    Hi Folks
    Can you please let me know the procedure how we can create the variants for Background jobs.
    Points are assured for correct answers.
    Regards,
    kumar

    Hi Sree Ram,
    Check this info.
    If you have any selection screen parameters for your program you need to enter the values for those fields in runtime. So, if you schedule your program in background to execute then there is no one to do this job. Here comes the concept of Variant.
    With variant you define what are the selection field values in the runtime. During runtime the program picks this values and runs the program.
    When you execute your program which has selection fields, you enter the values and then you click on 'GO TO ' tab and 'SAVE AS VARIANT'.
    When you schedule your program in background, give this variant also. Then it will run automatically.
    Hope this resolves your query.

  • How to create a variant for  a selection screen  button

    hi ,
          i have  created a selection screen for a normal report .   
    In the selection screen  there is one button after the selct option for company code. when user enters some company code and  presses the button the user i call a able contraol in which user gives some additional values for the comapny code.
    how  do i create variant.  when i create  varaint  for the slection screen  it does  not take into account the  other screen i called .
    so every time user has to click that button and enter some values and execute. please suggest  some way.
    THANKX IN ADAVANCE:)

    Hi,
          Inorder to create a variant for selection screen report, you need to enter valid data on the screen and click on the SAVE button which is available in the Menu.
          And regarding the button you were asking about after select option, it is not created manually it comes automatically,, you can remove this by mentioning no-extension after the select-option. You can get clear information of this if you do F1 help on select-option.
    My advice to you, make effect use of F1 help.

    do you mean that system is displaying the fields but values are not coming in there then variant is not the solution and you need to check with an abaper why data is not flowing there
    and if you want to change the screen layout then you are going the right way as mentioned in above thread

  • Problem while creating transaction variant for transaction KCH1.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to create transaction variant for KCH1 transaction code.
    I am able to deactivate standard navigation options Change, Copy, Delete for the menu called "Group" in the main screen.
    But I am unable to disable the standard navigation options for the menu u201CGroupu201D in the second screen where we enter possible profit center values in hierarchal structure.  I want to deactivate u201COther Groupu201D , u201CChangeu201D and u201CCopyu201D In the hierarchy screen.
    Please advice.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Padmasri

    Hi,
    As I have already mentioned in my previous message, I am able to deactivate standard menu options by using Menu functions for Main screen where we provide Profit center group value which needs to be created. For this screen I have passed GUID START_CO and was able to deactivate required options. But for the Hirarchial screen, I am unable to deactivate some of the menu options. In menu functions I have passed LIST_01(GUID for the screen) and deactivated the options but was not reflecting which testing the transaction variant.
    Anyone please let me know if transaction variant work for my scenario. If no please suggest a solution.

  • How to create process variant for delete index in a process chain

    Respected all
    I am creating a process chain, but unable to create process variant for the delete index. kindly tell me the
    step by step proceure for creating the variant for delete index. also if we use variant which is previously prepared then will it be safe? will it affect the other running process chian.
    pls reply
    thanks
    abhay

    Hi,
    Please do not use an already created variant for index deletion. It might delete indices of some other cube.
    You can follow the following steps -
    1. Open the chain in Edit mode and click on "Process Types" button
    2. On the Left hand side you will have various process types. Choose "Data Target Administration" and expand it.
    3. Choose the first process "Delete Index" (it will be marked with a trash bin sign) and drag it to your chain
    4. It will ask you create a variant. Press the create Button
    5. In new window enter the Process Variant technical name and description
    6. Then in new window choose Object Type = Cube through dropdown and Object name via browsing. After choosing the cube name click on "Transfer Selections"
    7. Save and return to your chain
    8. It will automatically generate a create index step also after delete index.
    9. You need to break the link between create and delete step and insert infopackage in between to get the following steps - delete index --> load cube --> create index.
    Please let me know if this is helpful..

  • How do we create a variant for report which runs in the background?

    Hi,
    I want to create a report which will have some variants and will be running in the background?
    The main intention is to transfer the data from one database into another. Please explain the step by step process.
    Regards
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
          When you run a report program in foregorund(If you have a selction-screen), by pressing F8 button, it takes you to the screen where when you press execute button, the report is executed.
          In this screen, you can enter the requirec values which you wish to store in the variables in the selection-screen and press SAVE button, then a variant will be created. You can create the required variants for your report and then when executing the same report in background, the process goes in this way,
    Go to SE38->Program-> Execute->Background, there you can give the variant name and press EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY and your program runs in background for the given variant.
    Hope this is helpful to you. If you need further information, revert back.

  • Variants for background jobs

    You need to schedule and automate batch jobs in an organisation. There will be multiple variants and multiple steps within same batch jobs. The variants are date dependent and needs to change every day. You need to automatically change the variants every day and schedule the jobs. Also check for the failures in the jobs. Apart from that Once the jobs in one server example : R/3 server ends the jobs in BW servers should be triggered automatically. Explain all steps with proper T codes and also provide a dry run example. Also provide all the table used for the variants purpose.
    Please help on this,thanks
    Narendra

    Hi Narendra,
    The background jobs are scheduled depending on the requirement with specific variants which are both date specific and even specific sometimes. These variants are created for the programs or reports which are run in the background job ,These variants are stored in VARID table for client specific variants and
    VARID_CI for client independent. For most of the times all these jobs are maintained in some job scheduling tools so that they automatically inform about job failures and processes can be automated.In our organisation we use UC4 for background job schedulign and it controls the process as you are looking for.
    Please award points accordingly

  • How to create diferents deliveries for each schedule line

    Dear gurus,
    I have sales orders with many schedule lines in order to deliver in diferents dates. We need to create all the deliveries together but each schedule line needs to be in a diferent delivery with the corresponding delivery date.
    I analiced the customizing about pool for delivery creation (VL10) but all I can change is for display and can not change the way the delivery is created. If we select two schedule line with diferent dates, the proccess create only one delivery with the total quantity and the first date of delivery.
    Anybody knows some way to make the proccess create individual deliveries from diferents schedule lines?
    Tanks in advance!
    Marina.

    Hello Marina
    I hope you are using VL10E. Did you try working with Delivery creation date (range) and Delivery Date calculation rule? For example if you go for a value of 2 for the CalcRuleDefltDlvCrDt ('Rule for determining default value for deliv. creation date), then system will consider only those sched lines which are to be delivered today and tomorrow.
    You also have the possibility of setting up your own routine for CalcRuleDefltDlvCrDt.
    Thirdly SAP has suggested a solution for Scheduling agreements ( valid for releases upto 4.7). In this SAP has suggested solution 4 for ensuring all schedule lines are not delivered together. You can customize the code to include Sales orders ( in stead of Sched Agreements)  in your case. Though it is for release 4.7, I think you can use the smae concept in ECC also.
    137937 - SD scheduling agreement: Delivery split for each schedule li
    Check it out and let me know how it goes. Good luck.

    In that case you can use transaction SHD0 to create a transaction variant for F-30 with its screen variant for screen# 122. And you also want to creat a so called Variant Transaction Z-something for F-30 using the mentioned transaction variant. You restrict users to use that Z-something.
