Execute program in background - Start Condition Pop up

Hey there,
When navigating the menu from the initial screen of any report, Program --> Execute in Background, im getting a start condition popup similar to the one when changing the start condition of a job in transaction sm37.
Once I confirm the Background Print Parameters when navigating the menu to execute the report in background, im getting the following popup - Screenshot of pop - http://imgur.com/O9X0q.jpg
This has arisen since the latest implementation of the latest SPIs.
There is a requirement now to suppress this pop-up. How can one achieve this?
Thanks!

Hey,
Before it just got released and sat there and would execute at 11pm the evening or something like that Or until the user manually changed it thru sm37 and executed it.
Had a look at the SAP Portal already no luck yet. But I'll have to keep looking.
Cheers

Execute program in background(Scheduled)

Hi guyz
I want to execute a program on every last friday of the month. It should be scheduled automatically in back ground with out any manual interruption. Is there any way i can do that?
Thanks

Hi Satya,
For executing jobs in non-interactive mode, schedule the job for background processing. To create a background processing job you should specify:
The name of the report
The name of any variant it needs
What to do with output
When to start it
After this, the SAP system does not require users intervention and can proceed with the job even without you. It executes the report and prints the output using printer or output controller. While scheduling a job in background process, three parameters should be specified. These parameters are:
Definition of programs
Its start time
The printing specification for getting the prints as required
After this, you can check whether your job was executed successfully and display a log of any system messages.
For scheduling background processing, you have to direct the system to process an ABAP/4 or external program in the background. This is a two-step process:
Scheduling the program
Releasing the job
This needs to have a special authorization for releasing and scheduling the job. Generally, the system administrator, who organizes and monitors background processing, supervises the release of these jobs. Many users are also authorized to schedule background processing of reports. You cannot schedule a job unless and until you have a release authorization. If a user is authorized and has specified a start date or selected "start immediately," he or she can release the job.
Authorized users can change start time. A program can be scheduled as a separate job or you can append it to an existing job, which has not yet been processed. Background process can be run while doing some other online work. However, this can adversely affect online operation and should be avoided. For example, if you run a program that locks the database, the work of online users will be hampered or stopped. Often, long-running reports are scheduled automatically or semi-automatically for background processing.
First Step
Initiate the job scheduling function. Standard job scheduling must be used in case of scheduling of an external command or external program as a background job and ABAP job scheduling function can be used to schedule ABAP programs. For starting a standard job scheduling function choose the following:
Administration menu bar option à CCMS option à Jobs option à Definition option.
For starting ABAP job scheduling function, navigate to ABAP Editor and choose Program menu bar option àExecute option à Background option.
Second Step
Now define a job. Using the Job Wizard you can define your job. From the Application toolbar, choose the wizard button. After this, the initial screen of the SAP Job Wizard appears. The Job Wizard is available only from the standard job scheduling function.
Third Step
Now, you have to save the job. When it displays the message "Job saved" it means the job has been successfully scheduled. We know that a job must be released before it is scheduled. Only authorized users can release the job, otherwise your system administrator will release your job.
Fourth Step
This is the last step of scheduling. In this step you have to check the status of your job. For this you need to choose System menu bar option à Own jobs option.
In SAP System, the background processing runs according to your instructions. In case a list is generated by the report, the report either prints directly or waits for you in the SAP output controller. The status of background processing can be checked for its correctness.
I think this will help you.
If so then award the points.
Thanks and regards

Error while executing program in background

We have a program to upload data to the presentation server in the xml file format.
It is working fine in foreground.But whenever we are trying to execute it in the background it gives error:
'Error in control framework'.

Prem,
Looking at the error that you have shown, looks like its a different error. Is there a control/GRID that is being used in the program.
If you are using a CUSTOM CONTAINER and a GRID to display the data, whenever you executing the program, you should not create the container. Something like this ..
    if cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) is initial.
      create object CUSTOM_CONTAINER
             exporting container_name = CUSTOM_CONTROL
    endif.

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.

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 .

BDC is not working in when executing the program in background

Hi gurus,
I have a problem that in BDC is not working when i'm executing the upload program in background thru scheduling(SM36) , while it works fine when i execute directly with NO screen display mode

Many transactions behave differently when executed in foreground and background. The fields on the screen may be different.
In transaction SHBD when starting a recording there is a checkbox where you can select 'Simulate Background Mode'. If you do your recording using this option you will get the code suitable for background mode. If you do not select this option you will get a code for foreground mode.
By compairing the two codes you will know the changes required for background mode.
Hope this helps you

Hi Vamsi,
<b>First Check in the Foreground your program is working for the application server file or not</b>
When you will Execute your program in Background internal table "ZPERNR" will be populated from the file that is there on the application server.
After that what you want to do with the internal table.I think you have not sent the whole code.
In background FM GUI_UPLOAD willl not work.
If you want to debug your code put wait for 100 seconds at the place where you want to dubug your code.Go to transaction code SM50 your job will be running there.
Select Your job
Go to Menu Bar Program/Mode - > program - > Debugging.
In this way you can debug your code.
First Check in the Foreground your program is working for the application server file or not

Scheduling a program in background with after job condition

Hi experts,
Is there a way to schedule a background job wherein it will be run every after another job? I've tried defining it on sm36 > start condition> After job> I stated the job name >check start status dependent. But it only run once even if the job which it is dependent on is scheduled everyday.
Thank you in advance!

This is (or was) a well known issue, the option "after job" cannot be set to periodic. Theres lots of threads about this and several alternatives solutions.

Executing external command and program in background

Hi,
how to execute external command and external program in background.
please provide me some tips on the same.
while creating external command, what is the significance of "operating system command" and "parameters for operating system command".
Thanks,
Dinesh.

Hi,
You can define external commands using transaction code SM69.
External commands are commands which would be executed at your operating
system with or without parameters.
Operating system commands are those which you execute at OS level like
mkdir, cat, rm, cp, ls
Parameters are options that you add to os commands to get more functionalities.
like, < ls -l > : will give you a long listing of files where " l " is the parameter
< ls -lt > : will give you a long listing with last changed file at top where " lt " is the parameter.
You can mention these in SM69 when you define the external commands.
Now, in order to execute these in your background job. In the steps click on "external command" and give your command name in SM36 while creating your job.
" Points for solution ".
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.
