Export in background mode

Does anyone know how to run an export in background mode for windows ?
Normally in unix I would simply nohup the expdp command.
Also what is the purpose of being able to reattach to a job in Data Pump - that in itself would suggest the export is already running as a background process - so what does this mean for the command prompt window where you launch expdp from ? Can you break out of this command prompt and the export will continue in the background ?
Also is there anyway to monitor how far your export has gone ? At the moment all I am looking at is the contents of dba_datapump_jobs which simply tells me if the job is still executing or not
thanks,
Jim

Jim,
Export does run in a background process. There are actually at least 3 processes running.
1. You have the client, which is where you run your expdp/impdp command.
2. You have the MCP processes which is a Data Pump process
3. You have a WORKER processes (or more if you use parallel) that are Data Pump processes.
I always use LINUX, but I think it works the same for Windows. Once you have the job running, you can type a CTL-C and you will get to an IMPDP> or EXPDP> prompt. This allows you to do other commands. One is to exit the client process. You can also stop the job or kill the job. Try it and type HELP at one of those prompts.
At this same prompt, you can type STATUS will will give you some idea on what is being worked on.
Some of the reasons you would want to attach to a job is
1. You previously exited and want to reattach to change something.
2. You left it running while you were in the office and now you are home and want to see the status. (you can have multiple clients attached to the same data pump job.
3. Your job stopped for some reason (power outage, failure, etc.) and you want to restart it.
Hope this helps.

Running export in background

Hi,
I need to run my database export in background mode! Could someone please help me with the command?
I guess we can use 'nohup' or '&' to run the exp in background.
But I am not completely sure. Could someone please help me out with the steps.
nohup exp file=exp_xxxxxxxxx.dmp log=exp_xxxxxxxxxx.log direct=y consistent=y compress=y buffer=10000000 owner =xxxx
OR
exp file=exp_xxxxxxxxx.dmp log=exp_xxxxxxxxxx.log direct=y consistent=y compress=y buffer=10000000 owner =xxxx &
Thanks!

Dear user9104898,
nohup means no hang up so if you specify this command before the exp, even you logoff from the unix your command will not stop and will continue.
If you specify nohup and & (at the end) that means no hang up and run the complete command as a background job. So it will run at background and you may leave the system afterwards if you wish.
So yes, you may use both of them, which is even better to do it.
Hope it helps,
Ogan

IMPORT/EXPORT statement in Background Mode

Hey dudes,
I am facing a problem in my coding. I am dealing with coding in several events in IS-U, transaction FPY1.
However, it's not so important ya. Now I am written some code on IMPORT and EXPORT some parameters between 2 program code. It's work very fine only in 'DEBUG MODE', but when it's running not debug mode (Is BACKGROUND MODE), coz it's massive run program.
I suspect it's because of the background job. Does background job using ABAP Memory? IMPORT/EXPORT is only for dialog work process, not background work process?? I have a lot of question mark on my head now..
Hope anyone facing dis issue before can help.
Cheers,
Isaac.

Are you trying to pass data via EXPORT/IMPORT between two programs that are both running in background, or from an online session to a background process?... i.e. what are the two lots of program code that you are wanting to pass parameters between?
It would be fine for a background program to "export" data to a memory ID, then for the same batch program to submit another program that does the "import" from the same memory ID... but this method won't work for an online user doing an "export" and a batch job doing an "import" -> for this to work, you would need to persist the parameters so that the batch job can retrieve them.
If you can explain the scenario a bit more, will try to offer more help...

Hi!
You didn't find answer for this, because it is not possible. If you run your program in background, it is running on the server, and does not have any connection to your local machine. That's why you can't upload/download in background mode.
You might try to address somehow your local PC, with its IP or MAC address, but I don't think does this task worth so much time.
Run your program in online mode, or if you want to run it in background, then upload your file into the SAP server.

Submit + LIST_FROM_MEMORY in background mode

Hi,
I need to capture the output results from standard program RFKORK00 and hence I designed a wrapper program that calls the standard program.
RFKORK00 generates a report output and I am able to capture the results correctly using the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY and FM LIST_FROM_ASCI in foreground mode. But when I try to run the same job in background, the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY does not return any results (I have checked the log by inserting information messages at various points in the program).
I have searched for similar contexts here on SDN and everyone is in agreement that LIST_FROM_MEMORY would work well even in the background mode too but I am unable to find the fault in this case. Could you please help, attached is the code -
SUBMIT RFKORK00
      USING SELECTION-SET c_variant

      AND RETURN.
    CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'

Calling a function from a DLL, exectution in background mode.

Dear Experts,
We have created an ABAP report the calls a function from a DLL file. If the report is executed in on-line mode the program calls and executes the function from the DLL, but if the ABAP programa is executed in background mode it doesnt calls the DLL function.
Do you know a way to solve the problem when executing in background mode?
Best regards.
Antonio

Hi Gabriel,
Let me explain in details about my DLL function.
We are importing the business partners from legacy system into the SAP CRM system, so at the moment we created the BP master data via BAPI, I get the name of the BP and this moment I call the function in the DLL file. I export the parameter name and I receive back a simplified string with the name reduced to a code. This code I get back from the dll it is insert in a Z table, so there is no interaction in the screen, all must be executed in background mode, because there are a lot of business partners to be converted in SAP system.
I am sending my code for your considerations.

Import data from MS ACCESS in background mode

Hello experts,
i am facing the following problem. I´ve got to import a MS ACCESS database in background mode via job.
I got a solution which works in dialoge:
create object conn 'ADODB.Connection'.
create object rsdb 'ADODB.Recordset'.
concatenate 'Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;'
'Data Source=C:UserspfahlbeDesktopaccess.mdb'
into sql.
call method of conn 'Open'
exporting
#1 = sql.
Any idea how it can be handled in background?

The system does not have permission to the useru2019s desktop C:\Users\pfahlbe\Desktop\access.mdb when running in the background.
Recommend moving your MSAccess db to a network location where the system has full-time read-permission, and adjusting your sql accordingly.

Export in Terminating Mode

hi,
Please let me know the possible cause of this error : Data Export in Terminating Mode
thanks

Jim,
Export does run in a background process. There are actually at least 3 processes running.
1. You have the client, which is where you run your expdp/impdp command.
2. You have the MCP processes which is a Data Pump process
3. You have a WORKER processes (or more if you use parallel) that are Data Pump processes.
I always use LINUX, but I think it works the same for Windows. Once you have the job running, you can type a CTL-C and you will get to an IMPDP> or EXPDP> prompt. This allows you to do other commands. One is to exit the client process. You can also stop the job or kill the job. Try it and type HELP at one of those prompts.
At this same prompt, you can type STATUS will will give you some idea on what is being worked on.
Some of the reasons you would want to attach to a job is
1. You previously exited and want to reattach to change something.
2. You left it running while you were in the office and now you are home and want to see the status. (you can have multiple clients attached to the same data pump job.
3. Your job stopped for some reason (power outage, failure, etc.) and you want to restart it.
Hope this helps.

How to store files in shared-folder in background mode

Hello All,
My requirement seems to be simple but I have tried many ways in achieving this, but failed. So require the help in accomplishing this task.
Requirement
I have to create a program in SE38 which will create a internal table with data in it in .XML format(which I can achieve).
My requirement is this .XML file needs to be placed in a shared-folder in "BACKGROUND MODE".
I have tried using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module, but this FM only runs in Foreground mode and fails in Background mode. I have tried convincing my client that I will keep the file in Application Server as it is achievable using OPEN DATASET statements, but they are not willing to accept this.
So can you please help me in achieving this task as I am not getting any solution how to keep the file in Shared-folder in BACKGROUND mode itself(not Foreground).
Best Regards,
Tousif

Download an excel file in background mode

Hi All,
I need to download a file from a ABAP report to the local workstation in background mode. I tried GUI_DOWNLOAD but it is failing in the background.
Is there any way to download the excel file in the background. I am thinking of generating the spool.
Please let me know if anybody has worked on the same requirement. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Priti
