Creation of Spool for a Report Output in background.

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a Report and my requirement is that a Spool should be Generated for the Report Output in background. Instead of generating the spool manually, I need it to be generated in background.
Please let me know ASAP.

HOW TO ASSIGN F4_VALUE_HELP FOR A REPORT OUTPUT FIELD???

Hi Gurus,
Can you please help me out in assigning F4_VALUE_HELP for a report output field where it is taking value as the input parameter....... If possible please help me out with some sample code ....

I don't think that you are get the F4 functionality by pressing F4, but maybe if you use a hotspot you could achieve it. Check this sample. When you click on a company code in the list, it fires the F4 help defined by the program.

Options for ABAP report output in Dashboard type presentation

Background
Monash University environment is SAP ERP ECC6 - no BW. The University has undertaken considerable analysis of spend as part of developing a strategic approach to procurement. The data used to undertake this analysis was extracted from SAP MM and FI using a developed ABAP report which collates, categorizes and consolidates all spend information from MM (for our Purchase Order based commitment and expenditure) and FI (for direct invoices and Corporate Credit Card expenditure). This information is then currently exported to MS-Excel to produce a report containing graphs, pie charts etc.
Requirement
To present output from our Spend Analysis Report in a more readable dashboard type presentation. This facility should allow easy manipulation (slice and dice) and drill down of the data.. Our requirement is to have something operating within a very short time-frame, say within a month or two. Although you might suggest Web Dynpro Business Graphic or SEM /BW (as the optimal solution) we understand the set up time for either of these solutions is prohibitive. Visual Composer has been suggested as another option but we have no in-house expertise to determine if this is a viable solution.
Some colleagues visited a conference a couple of weeks ago and saw a demonstration of a product call XenoCube http://www.inlogik.com/downloads/XenoCube_Brochure.pdf
which was proposed as a quick way to present SAP 'raw' report output in a more readable form. Other solutions in this space that have been suggested include:-
Zycus - Actionable Spend Analysis Zycus.com
Emptoris Spend Analysis - emptoris.com
ONIQUA Enterprise Analytics oniqua.com.au
Ariba Buyer ariba.com
SAS Spend Analysis sas.com
Etesius SpendGuardian etesius.com
Can anyone provide advice as to their experience of SAP solution, integrated partner products or any of the about products to satisfy a similar requirement to that which I have outlined? The main selection criteria will include a product which is:
a) quick & easy to implement,
b) presentation and manipulation of ABAP extracted data
c) is scalable and
d) is reasonably priced.
Grateful for any advice regarding a solution .
Thank-you

Default Layout for a report running in background

Dear Friends,
I have created a layout for report ME2L and set as default layout (for every user)....
Foreground execution picked the DEFAULT layout but when am trying to execute the same report in background, default layout is not picked but the STANDARD layout is shown in the spool
Could you please suggest me how can i use same report layout for foreground as well as background
Thanks in Advance
Ana

Atanu dey,
If you wnat to download excel in back ground
You have to download in application server only.
EX:
DATA : v_filepath(80)     VALUE '/data/sapdata/inc/error_log/pme_br/',
c_coma     VALUE ',' .
OPEN DATASET v_filepath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
     LOOP AT i_errors_bat.
     CONCATENATE i_errors_bat-plant c_coma
                             i_errors_bat-zzvendor c_coma
                       INTO v_string.
        TRANSFER v_string TO v_filepath.
      ENDLOOP.
   CLOSE DATASET v_filepath.
Note : you can download in presentation server also.
but it requires lot of authorizations and have to use
FTP commands.
Reason is Apllication server in back ground has to
recognize the from which system request came.
Better go for OPEN DATA sets.
Don't forget to reward if useful.....

Downloading Spool of a report scheduld in background on Appllication server

Dear Experts,
I have a requiremnt as below.
1. A simple ABAP report is scheduled to run in the background daily.
2. This report is simple classical report.
3. Once the job is run successfully, the report output will be generated in the spool.
Now the requirement is to transport the spool output to the application server (unix-AL11)
awaiting your help and kind op-operation to meet this challenge.
Regards,
Nuri.

Use the Function RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB , for this pass the spool number, and get the report spooljob into a table BUFER, pass this table to application server using the Open dataset and Transfer .

Better user experience for slow reports (loading in background, progressbar

Hi
In our application, some reports take a long time till they are displayed. Therefore it would be nice, if i could provide the user with some feedback (example: progressbar). Is it possible to have this? Upon print, when a pdf file is being constructed (in web) we already have such functionality in place, is it possible to have it generally?
Mayb,e it would also be possible to have the report load the first page quickly, so the user has already something to look at, and load all the other needed data in a background thread. (i dont think it is possible, however, somebody may have an idea)
Does anybody have an idea how we could achieve a better user experience for our reports. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Greetings
I am using:
Crystal Reports 2008 (in Asp.net, Windows Forms)
Version .NET 3.5 (SP1)
PS: of course a very fast report would be the finest solution. However, i guess this will not be possible with our reports and the volume of data they access

Hi Daniel,
Crystal Report 2008 we have a inbuilt functionality of progress bar .If you are not getting progress bar for every report that means those reports are not taking to much time.
For more info regarding progressbar this check this link:
[https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/8035]
Look for processingIndicatorDelay and processingIndicatorText.
If you want to improve performance of report then we need to keep in mind few thing while creating report in Crystal report designer:
Here are a few points related to performance issue .
The performance of a report is related to:
External factors:
1. The amount of time the database server takes to process the SQL query.
( Crystal Reports send the SQL query to the database, the database process it, and returns the data set to Crystal Reports. )
2. Network traffics.
3. Local computer processor speed.
( When Crystal Reports receives the data set, it generates a temp file to further filter the data when necessary, as well as to group, sort, process formulas, ... )
4. The number of records returned
( If a SQL query returns a large number of records, it will take longer to format and display than if was returning a smaller data set.)
Report design:
1. Where is the Record Selection evaluated?
Ensure your Record Selection Formula can be translated in SQL, so the data can be filter down on the server, otherwise the filtering will be done in a temp file on the local machine which will be much slower.
They have many functions that cannot be translated in SQL because they may not have a standard SQL for it.
For example, control structure like IF THEN ELSE cannot be translated into SQL. It will always be evaluated
in Crystal Reports. But if you use an IF THEN ELSE on a parameter, it will convert the result of the condition to
SQL, but as soon as uses database fileds in the conditions it will not be translated in SQL.
2. How many subreports the report contains and in section section they are located.
Minimise the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible because
subreports are reports within a report, and if you have a subreport in a details section, and the report returns 100
records, the subreport will be evaluated 100 times, so it will query the database 100 times. It is often the biggest
factor why a report takes a long time to preview.
3. How many records will be returned to the report.
Large number of records will slow down the preview of the reports. Ensure you only returns the necessary data on the report, by creating a Record Selection Formula, or basing your report off a Stored Procedure, or a Command Object that only returns the desired data set.
4. Do you use the special field "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount"
When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page
of the report before it displays the first page, therfore it will take more time to display the first page of the report.
If you want to improve the speed of a report, remove the special field "Page N of M" or "Total Page Count" or formula that uses the function "TotalPageCount". If those aren't use when you view a report it only format the page requested. It won't format the whole report.
5. Link tables on indexed fields whenever possible.
6. Remove unused tables, unused formulas, unused running totals from the report.
7. Suppress unnecessary sections.
8. For summaries, use conditional formulas instead of running totals when possible.
9. Whenever possible, limit records through selection, not suppression.
10. Use SQL expressions to convert fields to be used in record selection instead of using formula functions.
For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of doing it in a formula, you can create a SQL Expression Field. It will concatenate the fields on the database server, instead of doing in Crystal Reports.
SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query send to the database.
11. Using one command as the datasource can be faster if you returns only the desired data set. It can be faster if the SQL query written only return the desired data.
12. Perform grouping on server
This is only relevant if you only need to return the summary to your report but not the details. It will be faster as less data will be returned to the reports.
Hope this helps!!

Shweta

No output Spool for my Z-program in Background

Hi All,

(The program getting executed successfully in Background but without the Output Spool ) :
' There is no list
No. BT175 message
diagnosis
Spool No order has been found for the job or job step to choose. Possible causes:
The job has not yet been executed.
The job was terminated without transmitting the print spool system SAP.

If you think the job was interrupted before the creation of data editing, see the protocol job. If the job was completed abnormally, you will find a corresponding message in the system log ' .
Please explain me what this Error is all about and also How to correct this error.
Many thanks in Advance.

Hi Burak,
The program has been completely successfully (not Interrupted ),but the output spool is not appearing in the Transaction SM37 and as i said I have given all the Informations regarding that.
I debugged the code and checked the Output file its generating. It has the Records (Entries) in Transaction AL11 which we are looking for.
But the problem is its not generating the Spool Report in Background.
Also, I couldn't debug the entire code ( it takes hours ) since we are fetching 4.5 million entries from DB tables.

Hello Bala,
I wouldn't SUBMIT the same program to get the Spool number. You can achieve the same by [NEW-PAGE PRINT ON|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_702/en/abapnew-page_print.htm#!ABAP_ADDITION_1@1@] command.

This is the spool of a batchjob, where in each spool number there is one PO number , as can be seen in the screenshot below.
This is the data in 1st line item of the spool.
I want to download all the PO numbers, from all thee spool's.
Is there any way to export all the PO numbers from the list of spools.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You can get the list from NAST table. Enter application EF, message type and execute. Based on the document creation date and dispatch time (NAST - VSZTP) as 1 (Send with periodically scheduled job), you can take the report. NAST-OBJKY will give you the document number.

Generate Spool for a report

Pritn foramt for the report output in Landscape Format

I have a question about how we can get a spool output switched to fit to a Landscape format - it is currently printing format 90x120 on a Letter size ( Portrait format ) - it's a report output

Hi
You can write the code during the PRINT COMMAND to specify the Size of the Print Layout(see the F1 help om NEW-PAGE PRINT ON )
generally when the Size of the report is suitable to LANDSCAPE while printing while selecting the printer we select the printer properlies as LANDscape and print

Default name for saving report output

Hi,
I created an Oracle Report that is run via the rwservlet. Users will be prompted to view/save the output when destype=cache and desformat=pdf, spreadsheet, or delimiteddata. When they try to save the output, the default file name is rwservlet.pdf (or rwservlet.xls). Is there a way to specify a different default file name? Setting the desname and/or jobname parameter (e.g. desname=temp.pdf) doesn't have any effect. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks,

Hi..
there is option..
SUBMIT report EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
Effect
This addition stores the basic list for the program accessed in the ABAP Memory. It can only be used together with the addition AND RETURN.
The list is stored in the ABAP Memory as an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST, ABAPLIST being a structured data type in the ABAP Dictionary.
The calling program can access the list stored once program access is completed, using function modules belonging to the function group SLST.
The function module LIST_FROM_MEMORY loads the list from the ABAP Memory to an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST.
The function module WRITE_LIST inserts the content of an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST in the current list.
The function module DISPLAY_LIST displays the content of an internal table of the row type ABAPLIST in a separate list screen.
Note
The addition can only work provided the function key Enter is not linked to a function code in the GUI status last defined for the program accessed.
Example
Once the program report has been accessed, the list stored there in the ABAP Memory is read by means of function modules and inserted in the current list.
DATA list_tab TYPE TABLE OF abaplist.
