Debugging of background scheduled job

Hi guys,
Can any one explain me 1 scenario why there is a need to debug background scheduled job..., rather then doing in background we can run the same job/report online and do normal debugging.
thx in advance,
Cheers,
Harish

Hi ARPAN,
as long as the job is running, you can enter debuuger from SM50 process overview (program->debug) or SM37 Job Overview (Job->catch active Job).
And to the initial question: Some messages are configured to be created when saving document (e.g. sales invoice). This will trigger a background process. If something goes wrong with smartform or sapscript form, it will cause an update error. This you may need to debug in background.

Clemens

Query in Background scheduling job...

Hi friends,
Is it posiible to schedule a report which has additional screen developed by me(i.e SCREEN 1000 which is standard + SCREEN 9000 which is developed by me to get the input from user) in background mode.
When i tried to do it,I was not able to see any SPOOL REQUEST NO. in SM37 Transaction,subsequently I was not able to see the output!!!!!!!!
With Regards,
Kumaresh.

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.

Gui_download Function module is not working in Background Scheduling

Hi Experts,
Function modules like GUI_DOWNLOAD are not working in background scheduled jobs, It is raising an exception. Though it is working fine in foreground execution.
Please provide me solution for this challenging task.
you could be rated well for this question.
Thanks,

Hello,
work with open dataset and close dataset...
just loop over itab and transfer itab field for field into a string field separated by ;
Here is an extract of coding:
OPEN DATASET p_dath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT itab_pos.
    CLEAR satz.
    MOVE itab_pos-vbeln TO satz-vbeln.
    MOVE ';' TO satz-fill1.
    MOVE itab_pos-kunnr TO satz-kunnr.
    MOVE ';' TO satz-fill2.
    MOVE itab_pos-ktgrd TO satz-ktgrd.

    MOVE itab_pos-gewei TO satz-gewei.
    MOVE ';' TO satz-fill13.
    MOVE itab_pos-brgew TO satz-brgew.
    TRANSFER satz TO p_dath.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET p_dath.
It is not so comfortable as it is with GUI_DOWNLOAD but it works in background!

How to debug the background job in ABAP

Hi Guys,
Can anyone let me know how to debug the background job in ABAP.
Thanks in advance
peter

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
Schedule JOB in background:
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
Check this link for scheduling jobs..

Job getting cancelled in background scheduling

Hi,
I have written a report in the SAP HR system and it is to be scheduled in background. This program transfers the PERNRs from HR system to CRM system as partners in BUT000.The report works perfectly fine if it is run in foreground. When I run it in background the job gets cancelled and I get the job log having a message that it could not ascertain code page and the system exception ERROR_MESSAGE is raised. If anybody has any clues regarding this problem please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul.

Hi,
I Guess you are using container controllers in the Report, and all container contols requires help from Sap Gui for execution. I guess that is the reason it is failing in background . Please check on that aspect as well.
Hope this helps..

Background Processing? how schedule job for "System Error" Message .

Hello everyone,
in sap help i have read.

PCK> Monitoring>Message Monitoring-->Background Processing
you can schedule jobs for various background processing:
●     Archiving of messages processed successfully
●     Deletion of messages that are not to be archived
●     Restarting of messages with errors
●     Rescheduling of lost messages
can anyone understand this docu?
give me some introduction, how can i define and schedule these jobs ?
thx in advance!!
best regards
Yaning

Background Processing
Prerequisites
You have started the message monitor on the initial screen of the PCK and are in Background Processing.
Features
Archiving
You require two archiving sessions to archive messages:
●     One session to write the messages to the archive
●     One session to delete the persisted messages that have been archived
To do this, you schedule an archiving job, which implicitly schedules the sessions to write to the archive and delete the archived messages.
You can define one or more rules for each archiving job; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be archived by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
All information that is displayed for a message in message monitoring is archived, in addition to the audit log for each message.
Deleting
A standard delete job is created automatically. It runs once a day. You can schedule additional delete jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.
Restarting
Instead of restarting messages with errors manually with message monitoring, you can schedule a job to automatically restart these messages. This is possible for all messages for which the number of defined restart attempts has been exceeded (messages with the system error status).
You can define one or more rules for each job to restart messages; these rules contain conditions that a message must meet in order to be restarted by the job. At least one of the defined rules must be met for archiving to take place.
Rescheduling
A standard job to reschedule messages is created automatically. The job runs once a day and ensures that messages lost as a result of database failure, for example, are rescheduled. You can schedule additional rescheduling jobs; however, you cannot define rules for them.
Thx Aamir.
But I mean the messages with errors in Adapter Engine , not in Intergrations Engine.
the situation is like Naveen Pandrangi's WebLog
II. Errors in Adapter Engine [XI : How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically|XI : How to Re-Process failed XI Messages Automatically]
I
Till now we have seen how to resubmit/restart message that failed in Integration Engine. One a message makes it from Integration Engine to Adapter Engine, the message is flagged as checked in Integration Engine. The status of the message in Adapter engine does not effect the processed state in Integration Engine. Now if this message was asynchronous, XI will by default try to restart the message 3 times at intervals of 5 minutes before the status of the message is changed from Waiting to System Error .
*how can i schedule a job to automatically restart these messages with errors?

Parallel processing in background using Job scheduling...

(Note: Please understand my question completely before redirecting me to parallel processing links in sdn. I hve gone through most of them.)
Hi ABAP Gurus,
I have read a bit till now about parallel processing. But I have a doubt.
I am working on data transfer of around 5 million accounting records from lagacy to R/3 using Batch input recording.
Now if these all records reside in one flat file and if I then process that flat file in my batch input program, I guess it will take days to do it. So my boss suggested
to use parallel processing in SAP.
Now, from the SDN threads, it seems that we have to create a Remote enabled function module for it and stuf....
But I have a different idea. I thought to dividE these 5 million records in 10 flat files instead of just one and then to run the Custom BDC program with 10 instances which will process 10 flat files in background using Job scheduling.
Can this be also called parallel processing ?
Please let me know if this sounds wise to you guys...
Regards,
Tushar.

Thanks for your reply...
So what do you suggest how can I use Parallel procesisng for transferring 5 million records which is present in one flat file using custom BDC.?
I am posting my custom BDC code for million record transfer as follows (This code is for creation of material master using BDC.)

2.) The first line shows exactly the comment

      which describes the field.
      If you don't have a data element use the
      comment without a data element name
3.) The second line shows the fieldname of the
      structure, the fieldname must consist of
      a fieldname and optional the character '_' and

Debugging a Background job

Hi everybody,
what are the different wasy to debug a job which is assigned in background. Can we debug a back ground which is running, or we can only debug the completed jobs. thanks in advance,

How tio debug a background job

Hello Experts ,
please tell me is there any way to debug a background job ( a report submitted in a background).

You can debug batch jobs by going to 'SM37', type in 'JDBG' in the
command line ( no '/' ), put the cursor on the job and press enter - will
take you to the job in debug mode.
You can do this only after the job has finished execution. This will simulate the exact background scenario with the same selection screen values as used in the job also sy-batch will set to 'X'.
So type in the transaction code 'JDBG' and place your cursor on the job after It has finished. It will take you to a SAP program in debug mode. Step through this program which is about 10 lines, after this your program will be executed in the debug mode.
Steps
1. Create variant called BACKGROUND for program to be debugged.
2. Execute ZDEBUGBG (pgm code below) in background for immediate processing.
3. Execute transaction SM50.
4. Select process that runs ZDEBUGBG.
5. Goto 'Program/Session' 'Program' 'Debugging'.
A se80 debug session will open.
6. Change variable W_EXIT to 'E'.
7. Step thru (F6) until ZWBTEST comes up.
1. Go to Transaction SM66 and find your work porocess.
Select the line work process is on and click on the Debugging button.
If this is a custom program, you can put a wait statement in the code to buy yourself sometime.
2. Go to Transaction SM50. From the tool bar "Program/session"->Program->Debugging.
goto SM37 and from Program menu(not sure.. try other menu's)
-->Catchjob . it will goto the active job in debugging mode.
1. select active job in sm37.
2. type "jdbg" command in command field.
No need to type /n or /o .
3. Double click the job , it will go in debug mode.
OR
1. Go to sm50 .
2. place the cursor on active job.
3. goto program mode> program> Debugging.

I want degugg that background Scheduled program.

HI all,
I have Scheduled a job in background(SM36) and runned sucessfully..(Sm37)

Hello Sultanbi,
I have deleted many of your posts - you will have noticed this...
Please read "the rules" at the top of the forum page before you post any further - particularly before searching...!
Search term "debug job Sm37" will help you further for example... you will find "JDBG".
Please confirm that you have read "the rules"?

Dynamically Set date not changing in schedule Job

Hi,
I have created a report with "Order Date" as one of the parameters on the selection screen. I have created a variant, say 'X' , to set this date parameter dynamiccaly as "Current date - 31 days".
I have scheduled this program to run in background with the 'X' variant daily at certain time.
Now, for the day on which I created this job , the Order Date is set to correct date . For ex if I am scheduling the job tdy it will be set to 06/10/08. However, for next day , that is tom this date is not getting changed. i.e Tommorrow again Order date is 06/10/08 but it should have been 07/10/08.
So basically this dynamically set date is not chaning in the scheduled job.
Any idea why this is happening and what is the corrective measure for this.
Thanks!

There is an INITIALIZATION event in the program.......
Do the processing your date in that event only....
for ex....
select-options: date for order-date.
INITIALIZATION.
date-low = sy-datum or wat ever.
Thanks
Saurabh

Background schedule process

Hi
I am new to Oracle 9iAS. Can someone tell me if there is any
better way to implement a background scheduled process ?
Currently, I am doing it via AT command. Just wondering if
Oracle9iAS has any scheduler that I can make use of.
Thanks
CT

You can set up the different step while schedule the back ground job. Each step will have the program name, variant.
You can do his using transaction SM36 -> JOB WIZARD.

Background Scheduling Z Report

Hi,
I have developed one report , it can output its result in alv report and excel file, So my requirement is to schedule the report and in background only email the report to the specified email id's. How can I achieve functionality of background scheduling and automatic email.
I know we can do background scheduling with SA38 or SM36/SM37 but upon scheduling it is not saving my excel file at desired location.
Ankesh

You should search forums about this....
You will need to save to the SAP Application server (in a folder which has write permission for SAP jobs) and possibly FTP to some shared drive within the network. Local PC, local MS network, like C:\, D:\, etc. is not visible to a background job, since there is NO GUI/PRESENTATION server involved in a background job. Outside of MS Office, an .XLS file is an unknown file type, probably.... how do you think you're creating a .XLS file in a background SAP job?
