Download to Excel while running in Background

Hi,
I want to download the Report Output ( in internal table) to Excel ( location selected by user on Selection Screen), and i am running the Report in Background ( F9). Execution Time of Report is huge, user will fill the selection criteria, and will give the file name and execute the Report in Background.
Please suggest me suitable FM to achieve the same, provided there should not be any pop-up after execution begins.
I also have to Download the contents to Excel in such way, invidual column of internal table should reflect as invidual column in Excel. Ex : 09/2004 should come in single column of Excel.
Thanks & Regards,
Akash

First, if you are looking to download to a PC from background, you can't do that. THe background has no connection to a frontend PC. You can however, write your program to update a custom table. Then write another frontend program that reads this table and allows the user to download the data to excel and put it anywhere they want on there PC. You should use the function module GUI_DOWNLOAD, or the class/method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Field not getting updated in BDC while running in background

Hi Friends,
I'm executing a BDC transaction to update the Alternate Tax Classification (VBAK_TAXK1) field in Sales Order. I'm passing value 1 to the field and then saving it directly. While running the BDC in background, the field is not getting updated. On the other hand i checked it running in foreground, the field got updated without any error message.
Can anybody help me advicing why the field is not getting updated in background?
Thanks,
Bestin

Hi ,
Check the the log if you are using a session method and if call transaction then capture the messages for the same,
Because in the foreground the BDC will update the records even if there is a warning message nut in background it will not update. So check the data which you are inserting and try avoid the warning messages also so that it can run smoothly in backfround.
Thanks & Regards

Regarding email attachement while running a background job

Dear Experts,
When i am running a background job for any ALV report (standard or custom report) <b>automatically</b> the output is going to an e-mail address as a HTML file attachment. I want to change it to EXCEL file attachment.
Please help me on this issue..
Kind Regards,
Tom

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.
Regards,
Tom.

Report is giving wrong output while running in Background ?

Hi,
We have a report program which gives the correct output while running it in forground(or manually) but when we run it in backgroud it gives the wrong output. (The printout goes to the wrong printer.)
I've read in a SAP doc that:
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON even gives unpredictable
results when the print parameters are incomplete; and it suggested to use FM 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to validate the print parameters before NEW-PAGE PRINT ON event . I tried the same but still our report is sending the printout to the wrong printer while running it in background.
Other events used in the program are AT NEW and AT LAST .
Can anyone confirm me NEW-PAGE PRINT ON, AT NEW and AT LAST events work correctly in background mode also.
Thanks,
Bhavana

hi
good
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON should be work in the background also,check your syntax with the below syntax,if still it is going to the different printer in the background than check with the configuration setting of printer for the particular report that you r printing,sometime it happens that even in the foreground the correct printer ideanfies but in the background that same printer didnt identify.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON
    NEW-SECTION
    PARAMETERS pripar
    ARCHIVE PARAMETERS arcpar
    NO DIALOG.
DO 440 TIMES.
    WRITE (3) sy-index.
ENDDO.
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
ENDFORM.
thanks

Error while running in background for inherintance

Hi All,
i am inherinting the customised class from the standard class
CLASS zcl_history DEFINITION INHERITING FROM cl_gui_alv_grid FINAL.
But while running in the background it is showing fatal error .

Because there is no GUI to communicate while your program is running in background.

HT204407 Find my Friends app signs me out even while running in background. How can I fix this?

This happened before and after updating the OS to iOS6. If I open FmF, sign in, it won't stay signed in. I can't use the alerts because after a time, even if I leave the app running in the background, it signs me out. I can still be found by others but can't be informed when friends reach locations.
My husband and I purchased the same phones at the same time, and his does not have the same problem. We sync using the same Apple ID and share apps. The only issue I can imagine would be a setting that differs between phones but have not been able to nail it down.

Try creating a passcode for your device in settings. This means you need to enter the passcode before accessing anything on your device, this way you will stay signed into the FmF app even while running in the background and it will not require you to sign in every time you launch the app. However, once you remove the passcode to your device in settings, the FmF app will again require you to sign in whenever you launch the app. I think this is for security reasons.
Hope this helps.

Firefox opens when downloading PDF file while running IE9

Having problems displaying a PDF file (very low resolution & bad contrast). So I tried IE9. When I click on the link, Firefox opens to display the PDF "Swett/Sweet", even when Firefox is not running.
Page with the file "Swett/Sweet" is pg 34 at this URL https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/images/d/d8/Digitalbooks2012julygenealogies.pdf
Other files seem to be OK. Was told by the Admin at familysearch.org that they could not duplicate the problem but were using Chrome.

Usually when you uncheck that setting, the browser will ask you whether you want to Open or Save the file. Do you get that prompt, or just nothing?
I've probably used IE9 for less than 5 minutes, so if there is something new about the way it handles PDFs compared to earlier versions, I wouldn't know.

When I download an app while running iTunes from an external hard drive, the app is automatically saved to the my music folder on my desktop.

Also, when I move an updated app from the my music folder to the external hard drive, it no longer automatically deletes the old version of the app in the folder.

Hi, I was waiting for somebody with experience to pipe in, but as I understand it it'll be that way for upto 5 users if your Sharing iTunes.

I got a MAJOR virus while running on Windows...what to do now?

I made the mistake of downloading a torrent while running on Windows, and I ended up getting the blue screen of death. I don't need to use Windows anymore anyways, but I'm worried it's going to effect my MacOS. By completely removing and uninstalling Windows, will that take care of the problem?

There are attacks against Cisco routers, but he didn't say his router was his concern.
There is malware that attacks memory, master boot record, page file, tries to disable antivirus, poisons the DNS, etc. Lots of nasties. Windows Vista and 7 are more secure than XP ever will be.
There is / was malware embedded in a pirated Windows 7 build.
If you want help with using removal tools, or what to use the next time, I have links or just search newsgroups and forums.
Most torrent clients open you up, broadcast your IP, and you will see denial of service attacks and others that "come calling" so I would add some rules to your router to block any incoming or outgoing on the ports used by torrents; I would log or insure that it really is preventing DDoS also. And block Windows Sharing at the router level. I much prefer a hardened router in addition and more important than software firewall (but always use both, but even if the software got disabled, you would still be protected).
