Excel file upload in background

Hi
any one inform me how to Excel file will be Executed as a background job.
The Excel file will be executed as a background job.
This will eliminate issues related to network speed,
time-outs,user logging off,ect;
and the need for the user to remain logged in to the transaction till it finishes
execution. After the background job completes the output report will be sent to the
user via email as an attachment.

Gopal

hi,
function module for email attachment -
function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
function module for background schedule - u2018ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLEu2019
When scheduling a job in the background the appropriate statement to read in your file is OPEN DATASET, and the file must be on the file system that the SAP server can see.
At anytime, a user can switch of the Personal Computers even though the job is still running in the background. Therefore GUI_* and WS_* function modules are not designed to work in that way, as they need to access your personal computer file.
To choose the correct download method to used, you can check the value of SY-BATCH in your code,
if it is 'X' use OPEN DATASET and if it is ' ' use WS_UPLOAD.

Create a Excel File in a Background Job

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am trying to create an Excel file using a background job but it is not possible.
In foreground mode i get a file.
Can someone give an explanation for that? Or someone have a workaround ??
Best Regards
João Fernandes

João,
If you have successfully demonstrated that SAP can write an output to an excel file, then it can do this in background as well as foreground. The problem is probably not with the fact that it is 'Excel', but that it is trying to write a file in the background to a destination file location that is unknown to the system.
Generally, without special setup, SAP software is unaware of most file locations that are outside of the SAP system itself. When you log on through the SAP Gui, the SAP back end can "learn" about certain additional file locations through your PC setup and the SAPGUI session. This 'knowledge' is lost as soon as you commit your program to a background process.
Talk to your Basis person, and tell him what you wish to do. This functionality is possible to do, but probably not in the way you are expecting.

Custom TCode for Excel File Upload/Import - WebGUI Error

We get an ABAP runtime error when uploading an excel file with a custom tcode using WebGUI. It works ok with WinGUI. Any ideas what could be causing that error?
Runtime Errors         RAISE_EXCEPTION
Date and Time          01/05/2011 17:27:16
Short text
     Exception condition "JAVABEANNOTSUPPORTED" raised.
What happened?
     The current ABAP/4 program encountered an unexpected
     situation.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
     A RAISE statement in the program "C_OI_CONTAINER_CONTROL_CREATORCP" raised the
      exception
     condition "JAVABEANNOTSUPPORTED".
     Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior

Is it possible to upload excel file using LSMW method?
If it is? Plz tell me the process ASAP.
Thanks & regards,

Hi,
It's no possible to upload directly Excel file in LSMW.
You must transform to an flat File.
There are 6 delimiters

Validation after Excel File Upload in Table Maintenance

Hello All,
I've done extensive research on this topic and still have yet to find the answer. I have created a custom button in the TMG to upload an Excel file to the table maintenance using the FM CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD. I updated the EXTRACT and TOTAL table so it will show up in the TMG interface, but no validations occur. So, I am now trying to do the validations of this file upload. I would like to validate each record and allow the user to modify the error record then continue validating the rest. Essentially I would like to mimic the functionality that occurs when multiple records are copied to the table maintenance and validated one by one. Updating the EXTRACT table through ABAP, does not reach the PAI where the validations occur.
Is this approach possible? If not, what would be the best way to do validations, inform the user of the error record, and allow modification in the table maintenance interface?
Thanks,
Justin

Or just a report program - have the file name on the selection screen.
1) Upload the file
2) Validate the file and produce error messages.
3) Based on the validations, update the table.

Create and Format an Excel File as a Background Process(Application Server)

Hi all,
I have a requirement to Output a formatted(Bold fonts, Merged Cells etc.) Excel File.
It is to be run as background process. So ideally, the file will be produced in the ApplicationServer and will already contain the formatting. If I am to use ole2 functions such as
*--Opening the existing document
call method of gs_wbooks 'Open' = gs_wbook
exporting #1 = file_path.
Is this possible? can file_path point to the file created in the ApplicationServer?
Any answers, suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

no.
that works only in dialog

Excel file upload restriction

Dear,
I have developed a object which upload any type of file( mainly excel file ) form desktop.
Now i want to restrict user to upload the excel file , if that file is open in desktop.
Please give me idea how i ll solve this issue ??????
Thanks & Regards,
Ajit

Hi Ajith
If you use the FM-TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP with enabling exception, system will say clearly 'Excel file & cannot be processed'
You might tried without exception.
Still you are not clear send your requirements.

Excel file upload

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein I will have to upload an Excel file into an internal table. This excel file is coming from LLS. I used the GUI_UPLOAD FM... But this FM does not work. I also used TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP FM... But this FM does not work until the data from the source file is copied onto another excel sheet.... Please suggest me a FM which works correctly in such a scenario

Hey all I had used the FM TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP in a different way.... I had missed out on a few parametrs.... It is working fine now....

LSMW Errors for Excel file upload

Hi all,
We've loaded an Excel file with 20,000+ records into SAP using LSMW and a background run. However, the LSMW returned errors for about 2,000 of those records and seems to have processed the other 18,000. Questions as follows:
1. Is there a way to extract the 2000 records into another Excel file?
2. If so, how can I isolate the 2000 records so that I can reload them with correct information? I do not want to have to go through each record one by one to find them.
3. How can I identify what the problem was for a record that produced an error?
Thanks in advance. Points will be awarded for helpful answers.

u have used LSMW which will normally create a Session which will be executed using SM35 in background mode...Goto the session and click on errors...the errors are been shown up..U can correct there itself or else prepare another one with correct data and do a lsmw once again.

LSMW - excel file Upload

Hi,
I want to upload the excel file through LSMW, pls let me know how to do this.
I have converted the excel file to .csv and .txt file and can upload the fiel, but not able to upload when trying to do with .xls file.
Pls let me know.
Thanks,
Raju

or
In txn LSMW, then create an object for your purpose. The txn can guide you to create the template.
The Excel file needs to be converted to a text file and uploaded through LSMW. If necessary, you may need to change the input file so that the column layout matches with the LSMW object.
or
But in essence this is what you need to do:
Create a headers datafile, and a lines datafile.
Go through the routine of setting up LSMW to read both files, one the subordinate of the other.
Link files together using "Fields with identical names" button (turns pink!)
When you specify your structure relations, make the header datafile relate to the header structures, and your lines datafile relate to the lines structures.
LSMW will work out the loops for you!
Hope it helps.
