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

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,

Error when executing report in background

Hi experts,
I developed a new report. In that report I am getting data from KRMI transaction. For getting data from KRMI I have all the program and transaction and function modules under KRMI transaction to Z program, transcation and function modules and by using Call Transaction on ZKRMI and using Import and export parameters I am fetching data from KRMI transaction.
By doing this I dont have any problem while executing report online and when I am executing this report in back ground I am not getting in the above mentioned case.
Can anyone advise me in solving the issue

As already said....the import and export wont work in background...however what you can do is import and export in shared buffer
Please refer this below thread for how to proceed on this...
Re: Problem with export/import in back ground

Problem to spool when Executing reports in background

Hi experts,
I executed reports in backgroud , but when i checked in SM37 the generated spool not given proper layout format.
This problem occurs when report having more columns.
plz help me earliest.
Regards,
jyotsna

Hi jyotsna,
this happens with ALV output because the output format is determined at runtime.
You can control the print format used: Just fromyour reports list in online mode, choose PRINT. A Popup should come up letting you specify the printer, number of copies, pages to be printed and so on.
At the bottom of the popup you have the Properties button. This button opens the overview sceen for all the available print parameters. Double-Click the Format section, choose a format you want to use.The the Specifications button takes you to another screen. Here you can choose 'Valid for this report only' and Check the Background checkbox.The push the 'Copy settings' button. Then Enter to close all the popups. This should help. Additionally you can set a default layout variant for your list to be used.
For this, in the ALV list, use Menu Settings-Layout-Layout Management. Here yu can set a default variant.

Clemens

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.

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

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

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

 WHEN 1.
 RAISE program_call_failed.
 WHEN OTHERS.
 RAISE invalid.

Problem in executing report in background in CS workflow

Hi All,
I am using ECC 6.0 version.
          In my scenario , Once notification is closed , workflow should trigger. and along with this , one report should execute in background with input parameter as a Notification no. from workflow . Report should pick up input parameter dynamically.As I know instead of function module we can choose report option in business object .
           My question is how that report will get input parameter as notification no.& How I do the binding for this (Between report & workflow)?
            Valuable suggestions are excepted.
Regards,
Sheetal

Hi Sheetal,
As I had mentioned earlier (you have already implemented), add the report to your BO as a method. Then click on method and then click 'Parameters'. Create the required parameters, which is 'Notification No.' and go to the system generated 'Program'. Here you will have to do a bit of macro coding. Obtain the No. (once you add as parameter, you will get it through binding) and pass to report.
You might also retrieve (only if required or only in certainb cases) values, for that observe how the attributes are retrieved on the basis of key field.
Best regards,
Abir.

Good answers expect good points.
Regards,
Vamsykrishna.

Hi Vamshy,
Execute Program with some values in selection-screen and save the selection screen values as some variant.
Goto SM36 tcode and give some job name,job class ..etc.Then Press
Start_Conidtion Button in Application tool bar.Here you choose Date/Time button and select Period_Values button in the same screen after choosing some coming Monday's date selected_start option.
here you can provide Weekly option in period_values option.
dont forget to save all those values you entered.
Execute the job in SM37 tcode
If its not solved your problem feel free to ask further.
You can achieve the same thing thru function modules like job_submit,job_close..
Reward if it useful to you

Running report in background

Hi,
1. I am running a report in background, while running if system encounters any error then i want to download this error log to the presentation server, is there any function module to do this if not please suggest another possible solution to download the error log to presentation server.
2. In the above scenario when we are running a program in background, is it necessary to save the error log file on application server or we can download the error log directly to presentation server.
please suggest the possible solutions.
Regards,
Amol

Hi,
While running your program in backgorund mode genrally you can not download any data to prsentation server
there r 2 ways you can solve your problem.
1. Populate the error log and upload it to application server file Download the error log file from the appplication server by Using the command CG3Y.
2. Populate the error log and display it, doing so will create a spool when executed in backgoround now you can go to spool display it and download it to your local system.
These are the simplest ways to do it.
But if you still want your system to transfer error log to local system at the time it is executing in background you can do it by configuring RFC destination in SM59 detail documentation for RFC configuration can be found in the SDN.
Hope this helps.

Bikas

Regarding running a report in background and generate spool

Hi,
I am developing a report [REPORT1].
It is taking long to execute if data is more.
Now i want to schedule this report in background and generate spool along with.
So once i execute REPORT1 it should run in background & generate spool?
Can anybody give inputs for the same!
Thanks,

And after createing spool to get the spool number use below code,
FORM obtain_spool_id .
TYPES : BEGIN OF t_tsp01,
rqident TYPE tsp01-rqident,
rqowner TYPE tsp01-rqowner,
END OF t_tsp01.
DATA : it_tsp01 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_tsp01,

READ TABLE it_tsp01 INTO wa_tsp01 INDEX 1.
IF sy-subrc = 0 .
v_spool_nr = wa_tsp01-rqident.
ENDIF.
Capture the immediate spool created for this report
v_spool_nr = sy-spono.
