Execute MCSI report in background : process Output

Hello Folks,
I am working on Ecc 6.0 . i executed the report MCSI (RMCY9200) in background .
I need to process the output of that Job , But could not find any spool for the same job ...
Then i came to know that the Output of the job has to be seen from the Select Version option with the same Report MCSI(tcode)...
But now i have no idea, as how to process that output through an abap program...
Experts, please throw sum light, as how i can process it through an abap program ?
Thanks & regards

Hi Rajani,
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!

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

Report Execution - Background Process

Hi Friends,
I have developed a report program.
I have also created a transaction code for executing it.
Now the user needs to execute this program as a background job.
I have tried with SM36 and SM37 transactions. Here, you need to set the variants and time for execution.
But the user has lots of selection criteria and setting the variants for this requirement is highly impossible.
Kindly let me know whether I can add any additional statements in the program so that the program executes as a background process when initiated th' the selection screen / transaction code.
Kindly provide your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Karthik,
Looks like a wrapper ABAP program is required to meet your requirement. This program can be called in the background and in turn can submit the report program that you have created to achieve the actual functionality.
In this wrapper program, you need to create a dynamic variant using FMs (search RSVARIANT in SE37). Here you can populate the fields of the selection screen based on any complex criteria as you mentioned using ABAP statements. The dynamic variant is similar to the variants created on the selection screen.
Once you have the variant (dynamic) ready you can create a background job and submit it within this wrapper program, for which you again have to use the FMs (search createjob*, and go to the function group).
You have to release the submitted job and you can get the status of the job while it is running using the standard FMs provided for this.
Finally, you can create a spool list for the wrapper program that can detail the status of the submitted job.
It is a good idea to delete the dynamic variant once it ahs been used because if required again, it can be created again. If the dynamic variant is created daily or several times a day, it is definitely good to delete it after the use. The right place to do deletion is at the end of the wrapper program after confirming that the job submitted has completed. Or as an alternate strategy, all variants prior to a week can be deleted when the wrapper program runs today (we are using this strategy).
I have used this successfully.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

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, <b>using a variant</b> ?
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 .
initialization.
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'
exporting
p_status = '%_00'
p_program = 'wf_repid'
tables
p_exclude = int_exc

Ram

How to run report in background, save output to word or excel

Hello all,
I have a huge report that needs to be run in background and I need the report in word. When running in Dialog it takes too long and SAP times out. How do you get something to run in background and have the output in excel. I know you can go into SM37, find the spool and then forward the spool request to a local file, is there an easier way to do it? Maybe setting up some kind of to text printer since the background job always asks for the output printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Sergiy

    SPLIT p_filename AT '.xls' INTO l_filename2 v_extn.
    CONCATENATE l_filename2 'downloaded' INTO l_filename2 SEPARATED BY '_'.

About SPAD, follow the below steps.
Goto SPAD-> Full Administartion-> Device Types-> Format Types->
Check for the format X_65_1024/4.
This is the maximum allowed size format with 65 lines and 1024 charcters.
If its there you can use it.
Or create a new format with 65 lines(20000 lines are allowed without page breaks) and 1024 columns(maximum allowed) Z_65_1024.
Then copy the standard Device type to ZSAPWIN and attach the new format Z_65_1024.
Then copy the Output device LOCL to ZLOCL and assign device type ZSAPWIN.
Then while sheduling jobs in background you can use ZLOCL with the new fromat Z_65_1024.

Display title in spool generated in background processing of report

Hi All,
I am working on a report which uses splitter container to display report details as title in one part of the container and ALV report (using OOPS ALV) in the other part when executed in foreground.
I have referred the following links and added code accordingly to execute the report in background.
OOps ALV in background
CNTL_ERROR while running a report in background mode
But in the spool that is generated, I am able to see only the ALV output in the form of classical report without the report details as title. To add the tilte I have tried using "top_of_page" event, but it is not working. Please let me know how this can be achieved.
Thanks & Regards,
