Execution in background of a workbook.

Hi guru,
can i schedule in background a workbook execution and set the result in csv format?
I'm using information broadcasting, but the csv format is not supported.
We need to have the execution of the workbook in a csv file because the number of the records are too much.
We need csv format because the file will be loaded in Access tables
Thanks in advance

Hello,
you can use the precalculation service to calculate a workbook in background.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9c/2415407e145c0ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
The basic requirements for using the service (for example on a client or better a windows server) are
- Microsoft .Net Framework
- SAPGUI >= 6.40
- SAP Netweaver BI Frontend 2004s (BI Add-On)
- Microsoft Excel >= 2000
The precalculations service itself is a component of the BI-Add-On of the SAPGUI.
As soon as you start the (windows) service you can configurate the connection between the service and your BI via transaction RSPRECADMIN (call it on ther gui on the server the precalc service runs on!)
Bye
Frank

COPA Report - Execution in Background

Friends,
We have a COPA report that takes very long time to execute. For this reason the user wants to schedule the report such that it executes in the background at month-end.
In order to test the scheduling of the report execution in background in Development system, I followed the following steps:
1) Selected the report to be executed using the t-code KE30.
2) Clicked on Report - Execute in background.
3) Filled in the execution parameters and since I did not want the print of the report, I ticked the checkbox 'Rebuild frozen report data' (I was getting the error message "Select either 'Print' or 'Save'".
4) Executed the report by pressing F8. I got the message 'Report data for the report saved'.
My question is how to view the report on screen when the report is executed in background?
Please advise at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

You cannot see this data as it is.
When you see the message 'Report data for the report saved'. It means that the system has performed a kind of summarization for the selection criteria you have entered. This is performance enhancement tool.
So you have to run the report again to view this report; but this time choose the option Read saved Data for the Read Mode under Status of Data. You can get to the see report output fairly quick.
SAP documnetation reads thus " You create report-specific frozen report data by executing the report in the background and by choosing the Rebuild frozen report data option in the selection. When you call up the report again using the same selection, you have the option of displaying this frozen report data. If you would like more up-to-date frozen report data, you need to create this data again."
Good luck.

Scheduling function module execution in background jobs

Hi,
I have requirement where in after obtaining all the required inputs from the user we will call an function module to execute it.
The requirement is that the execution of fm shld happen in background and a log must be created showing the user whther it was successful or if it failed with the list of errors.
Can you kindly give some input on how to schedule the execution of function module in background job and if scheduled how to create the logs to display the success or error message.
Warm Regards,
Naveen M

Hi,
Just create a simple program where you have to call this FM.
Pass the values to FM either by declaring some internal table of selection screen and execute the program in background.
For Message Log, you can use structurre BDCMSGCOLL
DATA: MESSTAB LIKE BDCMSGCOLL OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
After Call to FM, read from this internal table as follows
READ TABLE MESSTAB WITH KEY MSGTYP = <Message Type>
MSGNR = <Message Number>.

Foreground Execution Vs. Background Execution

Hi all,
I've a program, when executed in the foreground, it's taking few seconds for the output to be displayed. But, when i execute in the background, it's taking longer time.
My question is what might be the reason for such difference in execution times?
Regards,
Pavan

Hi pavan,
1. JOB Class
2. By default the Job class = C
3. So, put this as A
A - High priority
B- Middle priority
C - Low priority

Error while execution in background

Hi all
when iam using file download function , it is working fine in foreground but giving
error dump while executing in background
plz reply , its urgent

Hi Check this link it will solves ur problem...

i am pasting the same information below......
GUI_* WS_* Function In Background, CSV Upload
GUI_* and WS_* function modules do not work in background
When scheduling a job in the background the appropriate statement to read in your file is OPEN DATASET, and the file must be on the file system that the SAP server can see.
At anytime, a user can switch of the Personal Computers even though the job is still running in the background. Therefore GUI_* and WS_* function modules are not designed to work in that way, as they need to access your personal computer file.
To choose the correct download method to used, you can check the value of SY-BATCH in your code,
if it is 'X' use OPEN DATASET and if it is ' ' use WS_UPLOAD.
*-- Open dataset for reading
DATA:
dsn(20) VALUE '/usr/test.dat',
rec(80).
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
DO.
 READ DATASET dsn INTO rec.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 EXIT.
 ELSE.
 WRITE / rec.
 ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET dsn.
*-- Open dataset for writing
DATA rec(80).
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
TRANSFER rec TO '/usr/test.dat'.
CLOSE DATASET dsn.
What is the difference when we use upload, ws_upload, gui_upload function modules?
UPLOAD, WS_UPLOAD, GUI_UPLOAD, are used in BDC concepts. ie., Batch Data Communication.
Batch Data Conversion is a concept where user can transfer the Data from non SAP to SAP R/3. So , in these various Function Modules are used.
UPLOAD--- upload a file to the presentation server (PC)
WS_UPLOAD---- Load Files from the Presentation Server to Internal ABAP Tables.
WS means Work Station.
This is used upto SAP 4.6 version.
GUI_UPLOAD------- Replaces WS_UPLOAD. Upoad file from presentation server to the app server. From 4.7 SAP version it is replaced.

Regarding program execution in background

Hi ALL,
I have a report with more than 255 columns if i execute in foreground no problem but if i execute in background it is displaying upto 255 columns only it is not displaying completely. (My report has 340 columns) . So please anyone tell me how could i display more than 255 columns in background .
Thanks & Regards
K. Naveen Kumar

search for the OSS Note.
In 4.6C you need to create a Z program ( code given in OSS Note ), it will take the spool number as parameter.
Further you also need to crate a new page format ( Xn SPAD) by copying a standard one ...like Z_65_340
That also need to be attached with the printer device type ..for local SAPWIN.
While specifying the job in SM36, in print specification , specify the new wider page format.
Further , aftre the job is run , check our the spool number created and then see the spool using the OSS - Z program.
No guarantee though

Ram

Regarding Session execution in Background

Hi Gurus
While I am uploading the flat file using vb01 tc in Back ground using submit rsbdcsub, I am facing the following problems:
By execute the program,The session is creating with no "new" or "error" status.
This is Happening because when I tried in foreground the records are processing after I pressed the "save" button only.This is happening for all records.even though the records are mapping absolutely properly I need to press save button each time to process that record. By the "enter" key it is not processing.
Beacuse my requirement is to process the records in Background I required no user interaction while processing.
How can I resolve this.
Your suggestions and views are highly encouragable.
Please respond quickily.
Regards,
Kumar

Are you doing LSMW or BDC? if you are using recording then you must have missed the saving of it.
let me know more details.

Program execution in background

Hi,
I have a program my requirement is If I press execute button in the selection screen I need to display the report output in background. Please tell me what logic additionally I need to add in my program. Is there any need to create job in sm36 or system will automatically create it by using function module job open?
Please tell me the steps to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes.. system can create a job with the OPEN_JOB ..SUBMIT... CLOSE_JOB.
Say, you want to run the program Ztest1 into background, than make Ztest2 and use like:
ZTEST2 should contains all the fields which you want to pass to ztest1.
In Ztest2's start-of-selection.
1. open group
2. submit ztest1 with all selections and jobname/jobnumber
3. close group

LSMW execution in Background

Hi!
I have created LSMW with recording for Tcode IMA1N, its working in forground, but its not getting executed in background, can any one suggest me the reason for it.
Regards
Rajesh

Can you please explain what you meant by "not executing in background"? Is it throwing an error or is it just not doing what it is supposed to do?
I have not used this transaction, but the 'N' suffix indicates to me that it is one of the enjoy transactions. If that is true, yes, you will have problems with doing a call transaction for such transactions in the bacground. The reason is that all the enjoy transactions use controls and for the controls to work the program needs access to the desktop/GUI. Controls are created locally in the user's desktop. That is why the call transaction works in the foreground, but when you do it in the background, the program cannot create those controls as it no longer has access to the GUI.
Isn't there any alternative to this transaction like an Idoc or BAPI or something? Even if there is a older version of the transaction, that may work.

Datasource execution in background

Hi

how can i achieve this

Hi,
DataSource: It is Program/Object an dit is used to bring the data from Base Tables (Eg from ECC) to BW system.
If you want to automate this process, then you can do it by using InfoPackages, keep this InfoPackage in Process Chains and then execute Process Chain, it will run Daily.
Is there any doubt?.Pls let us know.

Error during execution in background: No Test Package Selected

We have created a test package and tried to run both in foreground (Goto -> Automatic Test -> Execute) and background (Goto -> Automatic Test -> Execute in background). We are pretty confident that the test case included in the package works well.
Foreground run is successful. However, when we try to run using background mode, we get the error "No Test Package Selected." What could be the possible issue for this?
