Download Background job output to Excel automatically

Dear Experts,
Hi there... Please note the following scenarion and give me your expert solutions on the same...
I have created a SALES QUANTITY REPORT for exports... In this there are many conditions applied to achieve data in many of the columns of this report. If we run it for 2-3 months it is not a problem... The output comes at a marginal wait time... But the moment it is run for a whole year then it just goes on and on.... I cannot fine tune also.... because of the conditions... For better performance and fast retrieval i have used views in this report to achieve quick output...
The thing is when i put it to execute in Background it comes within an hour or so... But the output is not readable.... so here is what i want:
1. First of all why report executes so quickly when put in background, whereas in foreground it takes more than 4 hours and also no guarantee of output.. This is to satisfy my curiosity...
2. I want the output to get automatically converted into excel and get stored in a specific folder the moment the job is finished in background without any format getting disturbed. The report is prepared in ALV...
Please gurus help me out.
Thanks...
Jitesh

Send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0.

Hello All,
I have a requirement to send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0. Please help.
Thank you.
Nalini

Hi Jigar,
Thanks for your response.
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

Facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel.
It is downloading into excel, but all character columns first and next all quantity columns it is displaying. But I need columns order as it is in the grid.
If I take all columns as characters it works fine. But it will be problem for calculating total, subtotals of quantity columns
Can someone help me regarding this
thanks for your help

Hi,
Open up Excel on your desktop. Goto Tools > Macro > Security.
Make sure that your security is set to Medium (or less). SAP uses OLE automation to run the Excel instance and in Office 2003 (for example), Microsoft has increased their default security setting to High. With the High setting, the output to Excel fails.
Was this your problem? Don't forget those points, either.
check with this wetther it is solved or not.

Background job output to Presentation server

Hi,
I am executing report as Background job.
after job gets completed output should be in excel format in front end or presentation server.

Hi,
We cannot perform any action on the presentation server in a program that is being execcuted in background. What you can do is to write the output on to the app server, and after wards move the file on to the Pres. server using CG3Y transaction.

Formatting problem when downloading classical report output to excel sheet.

Dear Experts,
My classical report o/p looks like:
SI    Name   ID
1      xyz     11
2      abc     22
3      eet      33
4      jnc      44
When I download the same to a excel sheet from List->Save->file->Spreadsheet and save it.
The formatting looks like this:
SI   Name   ID
1     xyz               11
2     abc               22
3     eet                33
4     inc                44
That is the heading and column entries are in different columns.
There is no GUI_Download used.
Kindly help what may be the issue.

Hi,
In the report output the formatting looks fine. It is exactly below the heading. But only when I save it to excel, this alignment issue is coming. Even the columns after this column are are properly aligned and there is no issue at all. Only this column in the middle has issue.

How to download a smartform output as excel file WITH EXACT LAYOUT.

Hi,
     I have searched the forum but could not found any satisfactory answer. I have a smartform with a table, some texts and a logo. I have to write a code which will save the smartform output as excel file in the system keeping the layout of the smartform output EXACT.
i.e., the excel file will contain the output with EXACTLY THE SAME layout as would have been for a pdf file (if the smartform output is converted to a pdf file) and the client can then edit the fields of the table in the excel file. How can I achieve this? Please give a suggestion.. Thanks in advance.

Hi Anirban,
Your Requirement is to download a smartform to microsoft Excel .
Well unfortunately we can only download data into excel which is in a tabular format i.e stored in internal tables we have function modules to do the same even u can do that using OLE2.
If u try to download a smartform to Excel only format supported will be ASCII, if u will continue with that the smartforms text's will get downloaded to excel but whole data would be downloaded in a single Cell.
Code to do the same is -

As u said ,u want to download a smartform to Excel it could be done but only if u r using a internal table and exactly printing line by line values in the smartform, But if u are performing calculation in between, using multiple internal table Work areas, structures, etc i.e if whole smartform is developed with many distributed windows , unfortunately it wont be possible to download a smartform to excel in such cases, because the whole output comes from multiple internal tables, calculations, etc all the data is not printed in a tabular manner so in such a case it would be just impossible to download the smartform to excel.
But we definitely have a workaround which could be done to download the data into excel.
you can develop a ALV report with a header and footer u can define the header and footer of the alv according to the smartform and the middle portion would contain the tabular kind of data which u must be using as Smartform table to print the same.
So if u have a similar kind of smartform with some header data, tabular data, and some footer data, then u can use ALV to do the same thing , advantage with ALV would be that u can easily download the same into excel.
Other alternative is that u can Convert and download the smartform to PDF and copy the same to an Excel wooksheet.
These are all the possibilities with which u can do the same.

Hi,
Welcome to SCN!!!.
Please go through the forum rules. This has been discussed many times. You can search in the forum for this.
Infact there is no problem. Just expand that excel cell. You can see the full value. This is standard excel property.

Hi Ajay,
Please search form with '

the thread shows below.
If your requirement is to print multiple PO's then i think you need to develop a Program .
In that in your final internal table you can loop it and print...
And also these setting need for background job.
If you have smartforms you can set following parameters

After reports running in background job need to get automatically open in excel sheet

Dear All,
I have a requirement which is new to me ,
Once the user runs the report in background system is displaying the output in HTML format .... But the Users needs to open in Excel sheet .
kindly do the needful
Regards
Srikanth BG

Hi Srikanth,
Excel processing in background is currently not possible using standard ways. There exist a really good external library that allows you to handle Excel files, and even create them in background. So you could create a final, ready to use Excel file from your background run that can then be opened.
You might have a look at the library here: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/abap2xlsx
Maybe it helps and suits your needs.
Cheers,

Hi,
You can use the following code
types: begin ot ty_string,
           a type string,
           end of ty_string.
data: it_string type table of ty_string,
         wa_string type ty_string,
         tab type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
loop at itab(internal table that contains data fetched from database tables for your requirement).
concatenate itab-a itab-b into wa_string separateb by tab.
append wa_string to it_string.
endloop.
Use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to download it_string to excel sheet.

To download a list output to excel sheet

Hi All,
I am running the transaction MD47 for Product Group Planning.
I get a list output with as many as 90 columns.
When I try to download the output into an excel (System > List > Save > Local File ) only the columns which appear on the screen are being downloaded. Does any one have pointers on how can I download the whole list into an excel?
Regards,
Karthik

Hey Gabriel,
I am doing good. How are you today?
How do I do that?
This is a list output not an ALV. I dint find any option to choose an ALV layout.

Karthik
