Execute in Background with two variants

Hi,
Is it possible to execute a report in background if we assign two variants for a single job?
Regards,
Akula

Hi,
I successfully created two variants in single job and after executing my job has been failed giving a message "DATASET_NOT_OPEN" and type of Message is 'A'.
In my program i have used datasets to download the report data into application server.
Can you please suggest to me how to solve this problem.

Vinay.

Submit a program with two variants

Hi all,
There is one program which needs to run everyday with two different variants
( For this i need to have two jobs ).
Now, i need to write a new program which submits the above program with two variants. How do i do it?
Thanks
Abhijith H

You don't need two jobs, you can have 1 job with two steps, each step would call the progam with the different variant.
If you want to write a program which submits the program twice with two different variants, you can use the SUBMIT statement. Here VARIANT1 is the name of a variant.
SUBMIT ZREPORT01
USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'
AND RETURN.

Regarding ALV outputs ( with layout variants)

Hi,
I have a problem where in an ALV report when it is executed with a variant (there is one layout parameter in the screen which is also filled. This layout is set with a filter),
displays the output. But the displayed output doesn't filter the output as per the required criteria set in the layout filter.
When I execute the report with the same variant but now if I select the layout by pressing F4 on the layout field and select the same layout as earlier (which is having the filter criteria), now it displays the output as per the required criteria set in the filter.
I don't understand why if I execute the report with a variant with the layout value also filled, it is not able to give the required output as per the filter criteria set for the layout.
When the report is executed with the same variant but the layout value selected from F4, it dispalys the correct output with the filter criteria set for the layout.
In general, I mean why the program is not able to load the layout with filter when it is called from a variant?
Regards,
Rajesh

It depends on your Layout, How you saved it .
And one more question are you passing the layout parameter and Filter parameter to the Function module

Creating a background job with out Variant.

Hi Experts,
I'm developed one ALV report which is not having any selection-screen and Variant.
We can execute the program in fore ground but the user wants to be run in back ground and he wants to be created a spool requet for that report.
My Question is ...the above requirement is possible or not.
if your answer is yes then
How to create a variant for a report which is not having any selection-screen?
Can we creat a spool request manually ..means with in the report only through coding?
Thank you ,
Venky.

try this one...
you can submit your report in background and create spool...
An ALV report can be executed in background.. but if its an ALV Grid then spool will contain ALV list output. You can directly select execute in background even if you dont have any parameter on selection screen. or try below code...... if you want to create a spool from the report itself.....
I hope its useful

Runtime Error setting the 'Environment' when running with TWO executables

Hello,
I'm using XML DB for the very first time, so this problem may be easy to solve.
I'm currently running a test with TWO separate C# Console executables.
One executable correctly sets up the Xml Environment, Manager, and Container and simply adds XML documents to the database.
The second executable simply is supposed to run some XQuery commands. I use the same Environment, Manager, and Container code to do the initialization. However, I'm having trouble with setting up the 'Environment' in this executable. I get the following error:
DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery, exception code = DATABASE_ERROR
On this line of code:
Sleepycat.Db.Environment env = new Sleepycat.Db.Environment(envdir, envconf);
I've only seen code examples that run in a SINGLE executable. I'd really like to access the XML DB from multiple threads/executables, but am having trouble.
Can there be multiple 'Environments' and 'Managers' for the one XML Db?
Will provide more data if needed, and thanks for any help!
Matt

I guess you addressing this in the wrong forum. I see tags like "sleepycat" and "C#", probably thats why nobody replied.

Start up times vary - why? (MBP 10.8.3 with two drives)

I have a new MBP with 10.8.3 and two drives, an SSD and an internal.
Just curious as to why I get two varied startup times.
1. press startup button and within 3 seconds I hear the chime and the screen lights up.
2. press startup button and within about 12 seconds I hear the chime and the screen lights up.
Any thoughts as to why?

1 and 2 are both the same. I'm assuming I am starting up from the SSD drive because that is where all my applications are. The internal drive is just for storage.

Execute report RMMVRZ00 with variants

Hi Experts,
Could someone explain how to execute report RMMVRZ00 with variants.
Report RMMVRZ00 is similar to transaction MM60.
I am checking how to execute this report with variants.
Thank you

The following link would help in creating variants

Hi! when starting my computer the background went gray with two hard drives in the middle. One is named macintosh HD and the other recovery 10.9. I have my whole life on my computer, and i don't know which of them i should start up? Please i need help!

Hey!
when starting my computer the screen is gray with two harddrives. One is named Macintosh HD and the other Recovery 10.9. My computer has never done this before! I am really worrid that my files will be lost if i choose to start the wrong harddrive. Which one should i choose? HELP!!

You probably held down the Option or Command R keys when you heard the startup tone. Simply choose the HD. To learn what the Recovery partition is please read OS X: About OS X Recovery

Issue in Foreground Report executing as background

I have developed a Report in ABAP which has a selection screen and 2 radiobuttons
Foreground
Background
The report basically reads a TXT file from Desktop and calls a standard BAPI.
In foreground, I have no issues i.e. I browse the call from desktop and call GUI_UPLOAD and so on
However, in background, I am confused how to proceed??
Please note: Report is still running in foreground mode i.e. i am browsing the file. Its just that i have selected background Radiobutton
Can anyone tell me how to proceed i.e. to execute in background.
Do I need to submit the same program via JOB_OPEN JOB_CLOSE in background and then exit??
Please advice

Hi Razdan,
If want to schedule the background job through the program, then you can try method explained in below links. Here you might have to create a separate program to submit.
   https://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPSUBMIT_VIA_JOB.htm
   http://scn.sap.com/thread/590077
Another approach would be like below
Add an additional field apart from the radio button, say “ip_file” in the selection screen. This you can show while selecting the radio button “background”
Suppose if you have updated the file in app. Server(AL11 ) , in a location , say ( “home/myfile/test.txt” ) .
Save a variant with the radio button “background” selected and input field ip_file value as   “home/myfile/test.txt”.
Now from the SM36 you can schedule the background job to run the report with the same variant.
Please note that , here you need to upload the file separately to app. Server using , tcode - CG3Z or any other FM. And in the program you can use open dataset to access the file in the app. Server.

Block list display when report is executed in background?

Hello all,
when i execute the report program in foreground ,output is displayed as block list with two blocks say success table and failure table.
when i execute the same report program in background, i could see only a single block which is success table. Why is this?
Thanks,
Sindhu.

Did you check all the pages in spool? If the report has a output which runs multiple pages, then spool might not display everything unless you change the setting to display more than certain pages. Kindly check the same.

MAXL SCRIPT TO EXECUTE IN BACKGROUND THE DATA LOAD

Hi,
I have problem with a MaxL script, I don´t know the command to execute a data load in the background, someone knows??? it would be very grateful if you can help me because now I have to load the data manually and then tick execute in background.
Thanks for your help
Regards,

If the two processes are in no way dependent on each other, why not just use two separate MaxL scripts and run / schedule them separately?
If you really need to launch multiple MaxL operations against different cubes to run in the background from a single script you can only do this with a shell / command script, not 'natively' in MaxL. If you're on Windows and using CMD, for example, see the 'START' command.
--EDIT: Crossed over with Sunil, think he pretty much covers it!

How to save background job in variant

Dear all,
I have scheduled one report programme in background and its moved to quality. But in quality they are not able to see the background job which i scheduled in test server. While saving the job in test server, its not asked for any request. Is this the problem? (or) They have to create the background job in quality server ? (Or) any other problem? Please let me know asap pls.
Regards
SRee

Request security team to give you access to SM36.
I believe you should have your manager approval before.....
Only ABAP Programs along with the variants can be transported between development , testing(quality) and production severs.
You need to create a job in the quality/production by giving the program name.
Also, you can execute the program in background by going to se38->Execute in background.
Hope it helps

How to extract the column width in ALv report if its executed in background

I am executing an ALV report in background , in front end i am getting data properly, in back end for some columns some of the digits are missing.For example if PO no is of 10 digits it will display only 8 becos column size is like that , how to extract coulmns in back ground.
I have executed in background and checked the spool and for some of the columns width is not sufficient to display comeplete data so please suggest how to extract the columns sizes if executed inj background for an ALV

Hi Deepthi,
you can try with the above mentioned suggestions ,if its worked its fine ,
If not use Docking container instead of custom container, For ALV in back ground jobs, its suggest to use docking container instead of custom container , below you can find the declaration for docking container and code to use docking and custom container in your program for fore and back ground.
or you can use docking container alone for both operations.
Data : G_DOCK1 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER,
IF CCON IS INITIAL. (ccon is container name )
*Check whether the program is run in batch or foreground
    IF CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>OFFLINE( ) IS INITIAL.
*Run in foreground
      CREATE OBJECT CCON
        EXPORTING
          CONTAINER_NAME = 'CON1'.
    CREATE OBJECT GRID1
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = parent_1.
ELSE.
*Run in background
      CREATE OBJECT GRID1
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = G_DOCK1.
