Executing HRALXSYNC in background or a BAPI

We are using HRALXSYNC to sync Employee data in ECC to the Business Partner (BP) in ECC. This works fine, but HRALXSYNC is an interactive program (selection screen --> ALV grid which requires selection of items that need repair/sync).
Has anyone found the trick to executing this functionality in background? Keep in mind we are creating Employee BPs in ECC, when employee data is changed we have to sync the BP. We are also using HRALXSYNC to create new BPs in ECC for existing employees (sort of like a conversion program).
Also want to know if there is a BAPI to create the business partners(BPs) from the HR data.
Thanks,
Naga

Executing HRALXSYNC in background may not be possible, as you are saying it has an ALV GRID in it.
ALV GRIDS and Background runs don't go together.
and regarding the bapi, you may want to have a look at the following bapi

Front-end functions cannot be executed in the background in SM37

Hi ,
I have developed a BDC program for Tcode HRUSER . The program is working fine in Frontend but when Executed in Background through SM37 gives a error -:
"Front-end functions cannot be executed in the background".
I am not using any function like GUI_DOWNLOAD or anything like that .
Thanks
Nikhil Arya.

Hi ,
No , the program is not taking any inputs from the user .
when i am executing the program in background mode it is just showing the messages at the end which i am writing in the program for eg:
"creating a user for employee 2306328".
So , only the list of messages comes at the end .
Thanks

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.

Execute listcube in background - where is the file stored on app server

Hi,
I want to execute listcube in background.
to execute in background, the only output option available is Store in file (appl server).
My question is where is this file stored.
there is no information in the job log nor is there any spool.
Also, can I determine myself where is this output file written.

I have a couple of questions that could lead to an answer to your question...
Does your BW environment have one or more application servers, in addition to the Database Central Instance (DBCI)? If so, do you use logon groups for SAP Logon so that the logon loads are balanced?
I'm asking these questions because if you have a multiple application server environment and logon balancing, you may not be logging onto the same server every time that you're executing LISTCUBE and it will save to the directory path of the server you're logged onto.

Issue with How Do I Run an Executable in the Background ?

Hi,
I am trying to run a LabVIEw executable in the background, but none of the methods described in the discussion forum and on ni.com seems to be working. I am using LV 2011 on a Win 7 64-bit machine in case this matters.
I tried the method described in "How Do I Run an Executable in the Background as a Start-Up Application?" (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/4A8B626B55B96C248625796000569FA9?opendocument&Submitted&&... but I still see a fragment of a window at the bottom near the start-button (Exhibit 1). Exhibit 2 shows that it only consists of the title bar. (I have customized the window appearance as described, and added the two items
HideRootWindow=True
UseTaskBar=FALSE
to the *.ini file.)
I also tried disabling all the other items in the Customize Window Appearance menu with the same result.
Then I tried the method described in "Running a LabVIEW Executable as a Background Process" (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/EFEAE56A94A007D586256EF3006E258B) adding the FP.Open method to the VI and setting the state to hidden. I got the same result (Exhibit 1).
Is there anything I need to do in addition or different for my windows version? I appreciate your help. Thank you.
Solved!

Execute calc in background not working

Essbase version 9.3.1 running on Red Hat Linux. When I'm in EAS and check the "Execute in the background" box I get the message if what launched in the background with a Process ID but no calc kicks off, nothing in the app log file, nothing shows up when I look at background processes, no session when I look at server. The calc runs fine if I don't select to run in the background.
Anyone else run across this or am I missing something?

I had the identical issue and received the below fix from Oracle Support, which worked. I thought I'd put the fix up here, since the forums were my first stop when I had the problem.
1. There will be a file called Workstatus.xml in the EAS server
2. Search for this file
3. Rename the file or cut and paste this file to a different location.Restart the EAS server
4. Run the calc in background it will work fine
And it did! This was on Windows Server 2003, Essbase 9.3.1.2.
Thanks,

Problem in executing BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 in background

Hello SAP Gurus,
My requirement is to upload documents from application server(AL11) / presentation server (PC) to DMS.
For the above requirement I'am using BAPI "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2".
When i execute the program in foreground i have no issues , but when executing in background getting error :
"Error in checkin & storing file "...
Regards,
Madan Shetty.

Hi Madan,
Also Add the the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 parameter PF_HTTP_DEST with value SAPHTTPA. Make sure that one is also on sm59. Plus check the server where files are has been created as SAP app server on AL11
Hope this helps.

Fatal error while executing BDC in background for PFCG transaction

Hello,
I have requirement where I have to create or modify roles in PFCG transaction.
I used BDC to do this. While executing in foreground it works fine but in
background mode it is giving me runtime error as
"Control Framework: Fatal error - GUI cannot be reached". What
could be the reason behind it.
Is there any BAPI available to meet this functionality where I can modify or
create new roles in PFCG Transaction code.
Thank You.
Regards,
Dipak

Hi Dengyong,
I tried searching with that. But did not get any suitable BAPI or FM to meet this functionality.

Using "in background task" in BAPIs

Hello,
I am calling a function module inside a BAPI with "in background task" addition. Basically I want that function executed in a separate background process so that the execution performance of the BAPI is not affected. Well, when executing the BAPI in SAP GUI everything works fine, but not when that same BAPI is executed by a remote .Net app that implements BAPI calls through .Net connector.
Is there a basis parameter that I need to set or is this even allowed? Please help.
Thanks,
Leon

When you are calling a function module in background task, the execution of the function module is done asynchronously. It will be exectued when a commit work happens. May be that is why you are not seeing the results. I am assuming you are not getting any error neither results.
Read help on the syntax for "RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION func". May be that is what you may have to do, although, I admit, I never used it.

Srinivas

Sorry, this works only with FMs that are called using 'STARTING NEW TASK'. So please dont look at this.

Hi Naveen,
You are trying to submit the same program in background. You need to create 2 programs for that..
Create a program : ZBCKGD & inside it use FM JOB_SUBMIT & Pass program name as ZIND_BACKGROUND_JOB.
Export the selection criteria from ZBCKGD to ZIND_BACKGROUND_JOB.

Execute BEx as background job

Hi Guys,
User hit abap dump for TIME_OUT when executing query in Analyzer by selecting All data.
I understand it is standard setting of 600 seconds for dialog processing.
Is there anyway i can execute the query in background when user select all data?
I google and found out something about report agent, but is there any guide or manual to use that?
Thanks.

User must have got this error while running the query in web.
Ask use to run the query in BEx Analyzer.
We faced an similar issue where query in web was giving time out error but in analyzer I was to run it and it was taking around 60 minutes.
Similarly with broadcast, if you do it web broadcast, you will get the time out error. You will have to go with Workbook broadcasting.
Or suggest user to run the query multiple times with smaller selection.
Or try creating a workbook with multiple sheets restricted for differetn values, thus time taken should be less and all the data will be available in mulitple sheets which can be merged later and advantage is that workbook is to be run only once as compared to run the query mulitple time.
Regards,
Gaurav

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'

Error while executing BDC in background.

Hi
I have written a program that creates a background job to execute a BDC on Transaction CKMPRPN. This transaction is used to update future price of Materials. When this program is executed in foreground it works perfect. But when it is executed in background it throws these error messages. Same error messages are displayed when I process the BDC recording in background.
Enter at least one plant
Enter at least one plant
Spool request (number 0000023938 ) created without immediate output
No batch input data for screen SAPMSSY0 0120
Can anyone tell me why this problem is occuring only during background execution?
Or Do I need to find out a Function Module to update the future price of materials?

Thanks Kris,
Its a useful answer.. But unfortunately in 4.6C version we dont have this option of 'simulate background mode'.
Anyways.. I was able to find the solution.. I used call transaction and executed the BDC program in background and it worked. Earlier I was executing a single transaction for set of materials. But now I m executing separate transaction for each material. It gives these messages at every execution but it also updates the database. Dont know how..
