Execute a report in background

Hi All,
I have to create a batch job which will run a report. For that batch job i have to show only few Columns in report. This report also used to run for others batch jobs.
Now i want to know how can i modified my report to know which batch job is executing my report while processing in background.
i.e i can modify the report output based on the folloing condition.
If SY-BATCH is initial and BATCHJOBNAME = 'Test'.
desired output.
else.
endif.

Hi piyush,
1. The answer to your question is :
the FM
GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO
2. Use this FM inside the code
of your report.
3. It will give you various details like.
EVENTID
EVENTPARM
EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE
JOBCOUNT
JOBNAME
STEPCOUNT

Executing a report in background,without selection scr with a variant

Dear All,
Please let me know whether I can execute a report which doesn't has a selection-screen, in background, using a variant ?
Alok.

Hi,
In order to restrict the user to run it only in background , you can as well check for SY-BATCH condition.
The other way is try to remove "execute in foreground" option from the menu and this can be done with the function module .
Do reward points if useful and close the thread if the doubt is cleared
data: begin of int_exc occurs 0,
code like sy-ucomm,
end of int_exc.
data wf_repid .

clear int_exc.
int_exc-code = 'ONLI'.
append int_exc.
int_exc-code = 'PRIN'.
append int_exc.
move: sy-repid to wf_repid .
call function 'RS_SET_SELSCREEN_STATUS'

This is because of the printer specification selected while running/scheduling the job.
Please follow the below steps to get it corrected:
1) Go to SE38, enter the program name and press F8
2) Enter the selection parameters and from menu click Program -> Execute in Background
3) Now you need to select *Properties* button at below
4) Click on Format in the Next window
5) Select one which format with maximun WIDTH ot the width which works for you.
6) Save the Settings and run the job
Hope this helps!

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw33/helpdata/en/9e/9f653ade969f4de10000000a114084/content.htm

Executing Report in Background

Dear All,
I have a report with more than 400 characters in width. If it is executed in foreground the report is properly displayed but if the report is executed in background, the generated spool only displays upto 255 characters.
Is there a way to execute the report in background and make sure that the spool is generated with required width?
Regards,
Anosh

Hi Sharabh,
I have tried printing it after unchecking the "spool request max 255 characters width" option. Still the generated report does not show the report upto 400 characters.
Can you please suggest some other solution or maybe provide a way to define our own printing format?
Regards,
Anosh

Change in Normal list when i execute Report in Background.

Hi all ,
When we execute the Report in background a normal list will be displayed in the spool. In that Normal
list is it possible to shift the columns that are displayed at the last to be displayed at the beginning.
Regards ,
Murthy

Hi,
Yes you can do that.
You can determine the program is runing in background mode by using system variable SY-BATCH = 'X'.
If SY-BATCH = 'X'.
Then you can shift the column of internal table.
Endif.

Error while execution report in background

Hi,
I am uploading the data from excel file using ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE function module in one of the report. If I execute the report in background its giving a error message 'Error during import of clipboard contents'.
Please help me out what should be the problem.

When a program is executed in background, the programs runs in the application server and so connection exists with the PC.
And the FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE reads the file from PC. Since the connection is already lost when the program is run in background, the program will not work and might give a short dump.
So you might have to upload the file into application server and then use OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET commands to read data from the application server file.

Need to schedule a report in background from an user exit

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to execute a report in background from an user exit. Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Vivenchandar R

Use the submit statement.
For example
SUBMIT zipr_trans_details "VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
 WITH so_trdt IN lr_tr_period
 WITH so_empno IN lr_emp
 AND RETURN.
Where zipr_trans_details is the report name.

Executing a report program in background from another program

Hi Experts,
I developed a report to display material change history based on change date range. Report is taking much time (around 15-20 mins) as I'm hitting CDPOS and CDHDR tables. User wants to execute the report in foreground because he/she can give selection criteria that is required everytime.
So, my requirment is now to create another program with same selection screen elements which will execute the original program in background. In the new program, we will be just capturing the selection elements and will pass them to original program to run in background and display a message to user without wait for the background job to complete. Original program should send an email to an fixed email id with the report output as attachment (for example excel file).
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance,
Siva Sankar

Regarding a Change Document Function Module ----- VERY VERY Urgent
When using function modules , I dont think you can directly get data based on material and plant . these function modules usualy works with object class and creation date .
Once you retrieve the data using the function modules you have to filter out the unncecessary data based on your selection screen conditions .

How to execute report in Background from Dialog process?

How, or what is the best way, to lauch an executable program (report) into the background from a dialog program (dynpro)?
Example: The SUBMIT...AND RETURN still executes the called program before it returns control to the calling program. I just want the report to be kicked off and the dialog to continue as normal. I do not want the report execution time to affect the dialog process.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Nablan, I'm also trying to do parallel processing and created a function module that kicks of another report program.
However, the process doesn't seem to work. The Main program runs from start to finish but the called program in the function module doesn't seem to run. When I used the option STARTING NEW TASK task name the code ran but in the foreground. I don't want to use this option as it runs in the foreground and SAP limits one to six sessions. Is there something I'm missing in the attributes of the function module I created. Currently the attributes are: Processing type Remote enable module and it's set to start immediately. I had used Normal function module initially but this did not work with the STARTING NEW TASK task name option.
Below are the codes segements I used.
In my main program I have the following code segement
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CA_PROG_CALL'
IN BACKGROUND TASK
EXPORTING
 zprogram = 'ZCA_TEST1'
EXCEPTIONS
 program_call_failed = 1
 invalid = 2
 OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
COMMIT WORK.
In the function module I have the following code.
FUNCTION z_ca_prog_call.
""Local interface:
*" IMPORTING
*" VALUE(ZPROGRAM) LIKE ZCA_INTERFPROG-ZPROGRAM
*" EXCEPTIONS
*" PROGRAM_CALL_FAILED
*" INVALID
SUBMIT (zprogram).
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 CASE sy-subrc.
 WHEN 1.
 RAISE program_call_failed.
 WHEN OTHERS.
 RAISE invalid.
 ENDCASE.
ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.

Supress Background Print parameters when user executes ALV report by F9

Hi friends,
How can we Supress Background Print parameters pop-up, when user executes ALV report by F9
or by navigation from selection screen -i.e; Program ->>Execute in Background.
Please guide me
Thanks in Advance,
Ganesh

Sorry,
i need to supress the POP-UP which asks for background Print Parameters in the ALV report. when i press F9 in a selection - screen of a Tcode
as we supress Pop-up for a smartform or script by passing the Print Parameters
This 'RS_SET_SELSCREEN_STATUS' excludes the commands(say F9 function code) in report
I think we need to set the Print paramters in the Program
please guide me
Thanks,
Ganesh

Restrict 'Executing report in background' from selection screen

I want user to not to select option for executing report in background from Selection Screen of the program.
i.e. 'Execute Program in Background' option in 1st menu bar tab should either be disabled OR if user clicks on it then he should get error message on selection screen itself.
Thanks,
Falguni

Hi Falguni,
Write the code based on function code SJOB in the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN. Write the following code :
AT SELECTION-SCREEN
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'SJOB'.
MESSAGE E000 WITH 'You cannot schedule background job'.
ENDCASE.
Thanks & Regards,
Faheem.
