Dump in Background Procesing

When i run a report. It runs fine. but when i try to run it in backgroound, it throws this error."OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE".
At the statment
"STRLEN( obj )..."
, only character-type data objects are supported at the argument
position "obj".
In this particular case, the operand "obj" has the non-charcter-type type
"I".
kindly help me out

Hi Saathi,
I think u will get syntax error when u use type i variable in STRLEN function. Check whether ur object is active or not.
Keep a break point at this statement and execute in foreground, I think control will not come to this place. There might be different flow in forground and back ground.
If every thing is fine then move that type i variable into character or string variable and then try to use STRLEN with this char or string variable.
Hope it will solve ur problem.
Thanks,
Vinod.

  • FM ARCHIVE_SCHEDULE_JOB giving dump as background job?

    Hello Everyone,
                       I am scheduling a report in SM37 which consists of FM ARCHIVE_SCHEDULE_JOB.
                       And based on the output of FM, some Ztables are updated and some jobs are created in sm37.
    Now, when i debugged the background job, i found out that Fm is giving Dump 'NO_RUNTIME_INFO' since sy-batch is not initial.
    Due to which Ztables are not updated but the jobs are created....
    Can anyone please help me what should i do on this case?

    Hi Akshay,
    II have copied the Std workflow WS20000075 into a custom one and in the latest end tab, i have selected "Workitem creaton" for Refer Date/Time field and given 5 mins. I have deactivated the workflow in which i have created the containers for date and time and used "Expresion" for latest end and also commented the zmethod in delegated object. Even now also the job is getting cancelled with the same error.
    Any idea why is it happening ?

  • Dump in Background Scheduling

    Hi all,
              I am using FM 'FILE_GET_NAME' to retrieve path from application server and then i read and write on that file.
    Further my problem is this when i execute program in forground it is running fine but when i am scheduling it to background so it give dump with DATASET_NOT_OPEN.I have checked all varriant for foreground and background but still i face same problem.
    Please help me in this regards
    Thanks
    Gagan

    Hey, Gagan.
    You canot activate FILE_GET_NAME in background mode, it requires user's interrupt.
    Activate it according to sy-batch (eq X at background mode), meaning that if sy-batch is empty activate it and if it equals X initilize the file path with a default file without any user's interuction.

  • How to catch dump in background spool

    Hi Experts,
      I am a fresher and in background I want to execute a program, which is creating dump in production server and which I am not able to see the screenshots. The dump occurs, as I raise error message in start of selection. Can I see the dump output in spool or anything in testing server, forwhich I am authorised in my company. Could you say how to catch the dump. Should I eliminate the error messages or could I catch the error message also. Please help for this.
    Thanks and regards,
    Venkat, IBM.

    Hi Venkat,
    You will have to get the necessary authzn to production server for ST22 transaction.
    There is no way to access the dump of production server from Unit testing client.
    Other alternative could be to simulate the same program in background in Unit testing server & check whether it dumps.
    Schedule a job in SM36 for the same program in Quality/Unit testing client & check the output.

  • Migo_gr dump in background

    hi all,
            we are running the call transaction for tcode migo_gr in foreground which is working fine,when we try the same doing by background scheduling  we are leaving at dump side.pleas can anyone help on this.why it is behaving like this..
    thanks alot .

    Please see note 304122. This transaction is not suitable for batch input in the background. You can either convert to a BAPI or use the old transaction in batch input.

  • Dump while background processing

    Hi
      When I run my program in forground I am able to download the file on PC.But when I run the program in background its generating the spool but its not creating the file on my PC for the path I have giving and also its not showing any output in the spool that its creating.When I remove the download file option and execute the program in background it works fine.
    Please advise.
    Thanks and Regards

    You cannot download to your desktop in background. When you execute in the background, the execution actually happens on the server end and your server will not know your desktop location at that time. That is why it dumps. If your local directory structure is mounted on the application server, only in such cases, it treats the desktop locations similar to application server location. But even in those cases, you cannot use WS_DOWNLOAD or GUI_DOWNLOAD etc. You have to create a file on the application server using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER, and CLOSE DATASET commands.

  • Time_out dump in BackGround job

    Hi experts,
    I am facing an issue while scheduling a Background Job.The entire scenario is as follows.
    A RFC function module has been called  in the Report Program.The code inside the RFC function module is fetching a data from the database table(Select Query has been written).But in Production server system is giving the Time_out DUMP at this select Query which is written inside RFC function module.
    Table is having large number of records.For this Code optimization has been done already.
    Moreover entire report has been scheduled in Background.But I came to know RFC will work in Foreground only even though entire report program is scheduled in Background.
    Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem?
    For your information time limit has been maintained for Foreground job.

    Hi, Akhil, the rfc call is of course not run in foreground, but in dialog work process. Thats the same work process type, that performs requests of dialog users. Even though it does not sound much logically in first look, it has a logic. Also other limits for dialog users will apply.
    If you have to run the FM through RFC, there is no way how to bypass the dialog work process runtime limit on destination system, it will just apply, in my opinion I would recommend you don't loose your time to work around this point. afaik it does not matter if you start it synchronously or asynchronously.
    But as I wrote, you can try to throw a commit work in destination system occasionally, if you can (e.g. if you are not blocked in one big select query), you can also increase the runtime limit (but for all users on the same instance). You can redesign your application...
    If you will study the dump, you will find that it occurred on the destination (accounting) system, not in the calling system - where you are really ok since you run in background work process.
    Also, during the active RFC call you can monitor the destination system with SM66, where you will see this running process in DIA work process with the time increasing, before it will fail.
    On the other hand if you will start SM66 on caller system, you will see the work process is BTC

  • Background processing- download multiple itabs into one excel with tabs

    Hello,
    I want to run a report as a background job and download the outputs in excel file into different tabs.
    Problem is OLE does not run in background mode.
    Are there any other alternatives for that?
    I searched the forum and did not get any useful answer for background procesing. All the topics use for foreground processing.

    Hi,
    Please confirm you have enough hardware space.
    Please do a consistency check of the BTC Processing System as follows:
    1. Run Transaction SM65
    2. Select Goto ... Additional tests
    3. select these options: Perform TemSe check
                             Consistency check DB tables
                             List
                             Check profile parameters
                             Check host names
                             Determine no. of jobs in queue
                             All job servers
       and then click execute.
    4. Once you get the results check to see if you have any inconsistencies
       in any of your tables.
    5. If there are any inconsistencies reported then run the "Background
       Procesing Analyses" (SM65 .. Goto ... Additional Tests) again.
       This time check the "Consistency check DB tables" and the
       "Remove Inconsistencies" options.
    6. Run this a couple of times until all inconsistencies are removed from
       the tables.
    Make sure you run this SM65 check when the system is quiet and no other
    batch jobs are running as this would put a lock on the TBTCO table till
    it finishes.  This table may be needed by any other batch job that is
    running or scheduled to run at the time SM65 checks are running.
    Please confirm you are running the following reports daily as per note #48400:
    RSPO0041 (or RSPO1041), RSBTCDEL: To delete old TemSe objects
    RSPO1043 and RSTS0020 for the consistency check.

    Hi Experts,
    I am about to create a batch job. I used FM JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT and JOB_CLOSE. However, whenever I run the program it creates job for every 1 second. It will not stop creating jobs unless you completely exited in the program. The code is not inside the loop.

  • Running Process Chains via abap

    Hi all,
    I have scenario in loading text file to cube via chains using abap, here the step:
    Start from abap code to check the file, if exist run the Process chains
    <b>Process Chains</b>
    a. <b>start</b>
    b. <b>load data</b>  
    c. <b>updt from PSA</b>
    d. <b>program</b>  "move file to err folder if loading error
    e. <b>Attrbute Change</b>
    f. <b>program</b>  "move file to suc foled if loading successfull
    g. <b>program</b> check file is still exist
    it's looks like machine gun
    The problem is always create two job "loading" (sm37) each file after abap code for checking file run the event 4 chains. This happened makes loading process takes time event the file only 20 records.
    Why this happened? Please
    Any suggestion is highly appreciated would be thankful for all
    rgds
    supriatna

    you already raise the event after you checked the file successfully, right? And you already scheduled your process chain waiting for that event?!
    -> yes, it's done and works
    But what do you mean with 'each file have 2 jobs ...'
    - > after a file founded and run the chains and I check the job using (sm37-job overview) there are create two job for BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER, BI_PROCESS_PSAPROCESS, BI_PROCESS_LOADING, BI_PROCESS_ATTRIBCHAN
    is there time out ? no time out, stop by system
    I have put 10 files but some times the process only run 2,3,5 file after that the job is stop.
    here the message:
    Process ABAP, job count 15425901 should already have started
    System response
    The chain has been terminated.
    Procedure
    There are probably not enough background proceses in your system.
    Make sure that there are enough background processes, because parallel processes also run when process chains are processed.
    The repeat frequency of the start-process may be too short. Look into this.
    any suggestion on this problem ?
    thanks in advance

    A.T., I seem to remember it took me hours to download PRE7 4 or 5 years ago.
    I'm adding the latest step in this saga in case it helps someone else, as I had not found the following in any of the threads I searched through.
    My chat got closed while I was downloading and I got sent an email with details of the case number and a link to the Customer Support Portal online so I can update the case to let them know once everything is downloaded and working (fingers crossed).
    When I clicked on the link in the email, I went to a screen with the case link to use to update later. 
    BUT in the menu bar at the top of the page there is a link to Order History, which then took me to details of my orders, which I had not been able to get to by just using My Orders.  Beside my current order is a button to press to view the order details, so I did and got taken to a copy of the order details, which included a link to Downloads Available.  When I clicked on that, what do you know - I am in the Adobe store with all my Akamai download links for both lots of software and the installer for both 32 and 64-bit operating systems.
    How do you find the Customer Support Portal?? I searched Customer Support Portal on the Adobe home page and found this link to use
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/customer-support-portal.html
    It looks like you select your location then log in and you should get to your Customer Support Portal, with links to open and closed cases, as well as your order history and returns history.
    Hope that helps someone in the same boat in the future.
