Different result when running as background job

Hi,
We got a program which has a selection screen with a couple of select-options.
When we start this programm with a specified variant, it proceeds to a result screen. If we click back now (to the selection-screen) and run the programm with the exactly same settings again, one select-option is getting ignored and therefore we get incorrect results.
This happens only, if you go back from the result screen and excecute it again from the selection screen or if we start it as a background job.
If you exit the programm completely and restart it, the results are correct again.
It makes no sense to post any code snippets here, since the program is very complex. I just can't imagine any reason, why the select-option is sometimes getting ignored.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tobi

oh well it DOES explain it.
just think of following select:
Select *
from vbap
into ls_vbap
where vbeln not in lr_vbeln.
if lr_vbeln is not cleard you will run into problems maybe.
anyway, may it be that somewhere in coding you are manually modifying your select option?
It´s just an internal table of type range, so have a look there.

Report program when run in background job getting cancelled immediately

Hi
When i run a program in foreground i am able to see the output. But when run in background not able to run the job successfully. The job is getting cancelled immediately.
I am using the below function module for output display. Should i need to pass any parameters in the below function module so that i can run the program in background successfully.
CALL METHOD DETAIL_GRID->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
      EXPORTING
        IS_LAYOUT         = IS_LAYOUT

Hi Rajani.
ALV require the DRYPOR(screen) for display but incase you run in back ground which have to write to spool but in spool we can only write in format of LIST REPORT not inter-active report like ALV. That why
system cancelled your process immediately.
Hope it helps.

Force Dialog in ATP when run in Background Job

Hi gurus,
Can we set the ATP to always show even if in Background Job? I have a requirement to run a program in background job and set the confirmed qty to 0. In foreground the process is ok (the ATP screen shows up so my BDC is correct). But when I run the program in background, I have an error in my BDC because the screen for the ATP does not show up.
Best regards,
Andre

Unmount the ZFS filesystem (either /zones or /zones/test) and check the perms on the directory that it's mounted on.

Why Do I get different result when Run as Admin to Standard?

Why when Running this script to copy from the "config64" folder (if files exist)(if not copy from "config32") if works correctly when running Batch file normally (copies the config64), but using the exact same line when running
the Batch file as "Run as Administrator" it doesn't work correctly (copies the config32, even though Files do exist config64 folder as they did when I ran it normally and it worked)
>nul 2>nul dir /a-d "Folder\config64\*" /s && (XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config64\File64.ini" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CompanyFolder\ProductFolder\" /y /d) || (XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config32\File32.ini" "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\CompanyFolder\ProductFolder\" /y /d)
UAC is turned off and I'm the administrator (only user on a standalone PC) running windows 8.1.
Is there a reason or it is a strange bug with Windows 8.1?

A LOT more intellectual than
Frederik Long Who just had no clue himself to not offer an answer. As I've only been looking at this for 2 weeks I think I've come far and you help is much appreciated. Thank you JRV!
You seem to miss the point. Assuming that your problem is caused by a bug can prevent you from finding the real cause. If you had dismissed the bug theory then you might have done some real debugging, e.g. by breaking up your single-line script (which is
hard to comprehend) into easily digestible pieces and adding some debugging code like so:
@echo off
set Target="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\ComapanyFolder\ProductFolder\"
dir /a-d "Folder\config64\*" /s 1>c:\Test.log 2>&1
if %ErrorLevel% EQU 0 (
XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config64\File64.ini" %Target% /y /d /s 1>>c:\Test.log 2>>&1
) else (
XCOPY "%~dp0Folder\config32\File32.ini" %Target% /y /d /s 1>>c:\Test.log 2>>&1
The log file would have told you quickly what is going on. Furthermore - why should I offer my own solution to your problem when JRV gave you a perfect answer straight away?

Reading hierarchies when running in background.

Currently we have an abap that captures the hierarchy information via the function K_HIERARCHY_TABLES_READ. We then use the results to collect additional data. The report works in the foreground but gets different results when running in the background. We traced the issue back to the function read. We checked with SAP and SAP's response is that the function K_HIERARCHY_TABLES_READ cannot be used in the background. Does anyone run any reports in the background which reads hierarchies? If so, how do you do it?
thanks,
Larry

Paul,
Starting new task will start a new LUW in dialog process and not in background. This is the reason you are having a problem. While technically STARTING NEW TASK is used for parallel processing, you need to consider whether the program will be run in foreground or background mode.
In case of background, you need consider using multiple jobs via job open, submit, job close. This way you can initiate more than one process in your server group to do the work.
You will need to consider the # of background WP available and the # of WPs you can use for this program.
So if there are 100 WPs available and you can use only 10 at any give time, then you should schedule 10 jobs and then check the status of the 10 jobs before you can start scheduling the next jobs.
You can use the FM SPBT_INITIALIZE to check the # of WPs that are currently available in the server group.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

ALV List only 80 Columns when runinning as background job

Hello Guys,
I have a Problem with an ALV List.
We use the FM REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY for a Document Journal.
When I run it in foreground it works fine. But when I view the spool in background the list makes a break at excactly 80 signs, but the line size should be about 120.
In the report the Line-Size is set correctly, even the print parameters seem to be ok. We are running it with X_65_255.
I saw that there are some SAP Notes to this topic, but on our release (SAP_BASIS 700) the notes are already implemented.
Has anyone a solution to this topic?
Thanks and regards
Roland

SQL Query produces different results when inserting into a table

I have an SQL query which produces different results when run as a simple query to when it is run as an INSERT INTO table SELECT ...
The query is:
SELECT   mhldr.account_number
,        NVL(MAX(DECODE(ap.party_sysid, mhldr.party_sysid,ap.empcat_code,NULL)),'UNKNWN') main_borrower_status
,        COUNT(1) num_apps
FROM     app_parties ap
SELECT   accsta.account_number
,        actply.party_sysid
,        RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY actply.table_sysid, actply.loanac_latype_code ORDER BY start_date, SYSID) ranking
FROM     activity_players actply
,        account_status accsta
WHERE    1 = 1
AND      actply.table_id (+) = 'ACCGRP'
AND      actply.acttyp_code (+) = 'MHLDRM'
AND      NVL(actply.loanac_latype_code (+),TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,9,2))) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,9,2))
AND      actply.table_sysid (+) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,1,8))
) mhldr
WHERE    1 = 1
AND      ap.lenapp_account_number (+) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(mhldr.account_number,1,8))
GROUP BY mhldr.account_number;      The INSERT INTO code:
TRUNCATE TABLE applicant_summary;
INSERT /*+ APPEND */
INTO     applicant_summary
( account_number
, main_borrower_status
, num_apps
SELECT   mhldr.account_number
,        NVL(MAX(DECODE(ap.party_sysid, mhldr.party_sysid,ap.empcat_code,NULL)),'UNKNWN') main_borrower_status
,        COUNT(1) num_apps
FROM     app_parties ap
SELECT   accsta.account_number
,        actply.party_sysid
,        RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY actply.table_sysid, actply.loanac_latype_code ORDER BY start_date, SYSID) ranking
FROM     activity_players actply
,        account_status accsta
WHERE    1 = 1
AND      actply.table_id (+) = 'ACCGRP'
AND      actply.acttyp_code (+) = 'MHLDRM'
AND      NVL(actply.loanac_latype_code (+),TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,9,2))) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,9,2))
AND      actply.table_sysid (+) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(accsta.account_number,1,8))
) mhldr
WHERE    1 = 1
AND      ap.lenapp_account_number (+) = TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(mhldr.account_number,1,8))
GROUP BY mhldr.account_number;      When run as a query, this code consistently returns 2 for the num_apps field (for a certain group of accounts), but when run as an INSERT INTO command, the num_apps field is logged as 1. I have secured the tables used within the query to ensure that nothing is changing the data in the underlying tables.
If I run the query as a cursor for loop with an insert into the applicant_summary table within the loop, I get the same results in the table as I get when I run as a stand alone query.
I would appreciate any suggestions for what could be causing this odd behaviour.
Cheers,
Steve

Yes, using COUNT(*) gives the same result as COUNT(1).
I have found another example of this kind of behaviour:
Running the following INSERT statements produce different values for the total_amount_invested and num_records fields. It appears that adding the additional aggregation (MAX(amount_invested)) is causing problems with the other aggregated values.
Again, I have ensured that the source data and destination tables are not being accessed / changed by any other processes or users. Is this potentially a bug in Oracle?Just as a side note, these are not INSERT statements but CTAS statements.
The only non-bug explanation for this behaviour would be a potential query rewrite happening only under particular circumstances (but not always) in the lower integrity modes "trusted" or "stale_tolerated". So if you're not aware of any corresponding materialized views, your QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY parameter is set to the default of "enforced" and your explain plan doesn't show any "MAT_VIEW REWRITE ACCESS" lines, I would consider this as a bug.
Since you're running on 10.2.0.2 it's not unlikely that you hit one of the various "wrong result" bugs that exist(ed) in Oracle. I'm aware of a particular one I've hit in 10.2.0.2 when performing a parallel NESTED LOOP ANTI operation which returned wrong results, but only in parallel execution. Serial execution was showing the correct results.
If you're performing parallel ddl/dml/query operations, try to do the same in serial execution to check if it is related to the parallel feature.
You could also test if omitting the "APPEND" hint changes anything but still these are just workarounds for a buggy behaviour.
I suggest to consider installing the latest patch set 10.2.0.4 but this requires thorough testing because there were (more or less) subtle changes/bugs introduced with [10.2.0.3|http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2008/02/nasty-bug-introduced-with-patch-set.html] and [10.2.0.4|http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2008/04/overview-of-new-and-changed-features-in.html].
You could also open a SR with Oracle and clarify if there is already a one-off patch available for your 10.2.0.2 platform release. If not it's quite unlikely that you are going to get a backport for 10.2.0.2.

Do IMAQ Cast Image or IMAQ Linear averages give different results when using different computers that are running under Windows XP ?

Hello
I'm currently developping an image processing algorithm using Labview 7.1 and the associated IMAQ Vision tools. After several tests, I found a weird result. Indeed, I put the labview algorithm - including the IMAQ VI on the library to get sure that I use all the time the same VI - on my memory stick and used it on two different computers. I tested the same picture (still in my memory stick) and had two very different results.
After several hours trying to understand why, I found that there were a difference between the results given by both computers at the very begining of the algorithm. Indeed, I used a JPEG file.
To open it, I first create an Image with IMAQ Create (U8). Then, I open it.
Then in my first sub-VI, I use IMAQ Cast Image to be sure that the picture is a U8 grayscale picture.
Right after that, I use the IMAQ Linear Averages. The results of this VI are different on the two computers.
I tried several time on the same picture : one computer always give me the same result but the two computers give me a different result. So there is no random variable on the results.
So my question is : Do IMAQ Cast Image or IMAQ Linear averages give different results when using different computers that are running under Windows XP ?
My bet is on IMAQ Cast Image but I'm not quite sure and I do not undestand why. The labview and IMAQ are the same on both computers.
The difference between the two computer are above :
Computer 1 :
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz with a RAM of 1Go. The processor is an Intel(R).
The OS is windows XP Pro 2002
Computer 2 :
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz with a RAM of 512Mo. The processor is an Intel(R).
The OS is windows XP Pro 2002.
If anybody can help me on this problem, it would be really helpful.
Regards
Florence P.

Hi,
Indeed it's a strange behaviour, could you send me your VI and your JPEG file, (or another file that reproduces) so that I could check this inthere ?
I'll then try to find out what's happening.

RMMR1MRS-When run in background cause update failure errors looking

hi,
RMMR1MRS report when run in background cause update failure errors .
There are few below reason for the error log.
1. for the PO invoice already generated - (its right if already invoice generated. should not happen again)
2. In MIGO, entire quantity has been reversed and also invoice generated with zero value - ( its right , should not happen invoice again )
3. Particular PO line item deleted - (its right if the PO line item deleted. ERS settlement not require)
For the all above reason, the update error occurs. But the mean time the program "RMMR1MRS" should not through the update error log.

Hi Prasanna,
Thank you for your reply. I am not using any code for sending the mail to the recipient E-mail address, system is taking care automatically.
Few settings were done in SCOT transaction from basis, but no where they mentioned file type is .HTM.
From my end i have done the following steps.
1. go to SM36, give a job name.
2. press on step push button , give the ABAP program name ( any ALV program, i mean standard report or Z report), give the variant and save.
3. Come back . press on Spool list recipient push button give the e-mail address, press copy button on the pop up window.
4. press on start condition button , press on Immediate option and save.
5. again press on Save button in the screen.
now here job will be scheduled immediately, go to SM37 check your job status, if it is completed, automatically system is sending an e-mail with the ".HTM" attachment file output to the recipient e-mail address.
i am not doing any coding part here.
my concern is system should send the e-mail with ".XLS" file output attachment.
please advise on this.

Tom.

The number of rows per page is greyed out when running in background?

Hi,
For a customized transaction the number of rows per page cannot be set when running in background.
While a background job is created in SM36 after entering the report name and the selection variant name in the properties of Format the rows and columns field is greyed out.It was not editable.
Is there any settings to be done or in the custom program any code change needs to be done?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sharon.

Hi Gabriel,
After double clicking the format only the rows field is not set to edit.It was greyed out.Is it anything related to the printer settings that will be maintained for a user?

Getting different result while running Dashboard SP Using Temporary table?

Hi Experts
I am getting different result when I run my dashboard procedure I am using temporary table with "ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS", below is the information
I am running my attendance dashboard procedure which will display the employee attendance status based IN and OUT punches the status like AA-full day absent, GG-Full day Present, AG-First half absent,GA-Second half absent. Now when I run the first time my procedure for first time I am getting status AA even though IN and OUT timings are correct and if run it again then it is displaying the status for same employee as GG
I didn't understand the problem where it is effecting the status

first time employee status is AA --Full day absent and Second time is GG--Full day present (in both cases IN and OUT timings are correct only)
is it effecting due to temporary table?
So, you have a GTT and you're doing "something" with it and that "something" isn't what you expect.
I've about summed up what you've posted and given us to work with. If you have specific examples please do share. Without them we're going to be of very little use to you.
If you aren't getting the results you expect, it stands to reason that
1) you don't understand the outputs you are supposed to be getting
2) you have a bug in the code developed
Please stop and think about this, pretend you are the one trying to help out. You've been given little to no information about a system you've never seen before. You need to explain your situation as you would if you brought someone in to your shop to show them this problem you are having ... the rules don't change just because it's not face-face interaction.

ABAP program to run in Background job

Hi,
We have a custumized program (SO Creation) calling some functions (like: WS_QUERY, WS_UPLOAD, WS_DOWNLOAD, CREATE_TEXT and CALL TRANSACTION VA01) and can only run thru dialog process (foreground). Is it possible to convert it to something that can run thru background job?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi Deo ,
Unfortunately cl_gui_frontend_services will not work in background.
Please have a look at following information about cl_gui_frontend_services :
The class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES contains static methods for the following areas:
File functions
Directory functions
Registry
Environment
Write to / read from clipboard
Upload / download files
Execute programs / open documents
Query functions, such as Windows directory, Windows version, and so on
Standard dialogs (open, save, directory selection)
To Use this, you should be bit familier with OO ABAP Concepts. So I will suggest you to go through with OO concepts of ABAP. It will be of great help to you.

It gives the message when running in background mode
"No batch input data for screen SAPLMGMW 4008"
What should I check or do to correct it.
Please help.
Regards
Rashi

The BIM runs fine in Foreground mode and in Display error mode even for the functional..It is giving error only for Background mode.
I also did the following
1. Created the BIM in my id and tried running( in background) it using the other id ...it was successful
2. Created the BIM in other id and ran ( in background) using my id....it failed.
I will check again for authorisations also.
