Export of report/query to a file for background job runs

I have a requirement to automate the export of a report or query to a file so when a background job runs a new file is generated to the drive.
This cannot be a customized solution for 1 report, it must be able to adapt to other reports or queries as well.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Thamina

Hi,
SAP have created a standard program RSTXPDFT4 to convert your Sapscripts spools into a PDF format.
Specify the spool number and you will be able to download the sapscripts spool into your local harddisk.
It look exactly like what you see during a spool display.
Please note that it is not restricted to sapsciprts spool only. Any reports in the spool can be converted using the program 'RSTXPDFT4'.

Merge Excel cells when creating file for Background job

Hi Experts
I need to create an Excel document and within the excel sheet merge some cells, I can get that done via OLE.
My problem though comes in with... the Report needs to be scheduled as a background job and therefore OLE does not work!!!
Does any of you have another solution to merge cells while running in background??
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Hi Vic,
You can use the xml transformations for formatting excel. For my case I needed multiple sheets including glossary sheet to be mailed in a particular format , which was achieved by using transformations.
       CALL TRANSFORMATION z_xls_xxx
            SOURCE table = i_tmp_b[]
            RESULT XML wa_xmlstr.
        TRY.
            cl_bcs_convert=>string_to_solix(
               EXPORTING
                 iv_string   = wa_xmlstr
               iv_codepage = '4103' "suitable for MS Excel, leave empty
                 iv_add_bom = 'X'     "for other doc types
               IMPORTING
                 et_solix = l_bin
                 ev_size   = l_size ).
          CATCH cx_bcs.
            MESSAGE e445(so).
        ENDTRY.

How to define table specific QUERY in parameter file for Export Utility

Hi All
I am trying to create A SINGLE parameter file for export utility. I have 2 tables and want to use a different QUERY condition for each of these tables. However i do not want to create 2 seperate parameter files for this and run/script exp twice.
Is there a way to do it ?
NOTE: I am using normal export utility for Version 9 and NOT oracle data pump.
Following is an example of what i want to achive in parameter file:
Tables = (TabA,TabB)
# for table - TabA
QUERY = "where id =25"
#for table - TabB
QUERY = " where court_id=54 and id >1"
Please advice on syntax of parameter file so that exp knows that it has to process 1st condition for only TabA and second condition for TabB.
Any samples/syntax examples are greately appreciated.
thanks in advance!
cool tech

No there is no such alternative. Query condition is applicable to all the tables listed in TABLES parameter.

Is it possible to save a report to a file in background job?

Hi,
I want to save a report as a file every day, is it possible to do it by background job?
Thanks.

thanks all of you,
I don't went to save the file manually.
I only want to a function just like archiving function which can save file in background job.
I can develop a program to save a report as file in background job,but I have to develop a program for every report,I want to know is there any standard function for it, just like throwing the report to spool.

Sending log files for scheduled jobs as attachment through mail

Hi All,
Can any one please help me out to write a pl/sql program to send log files for scheduled jobs as attachment through mail.
Thanks.

Why would anyone do that as this code has already been posted here a thousand times, it is all over the Internet, and the only thing you need to do is to search for it?
I agree it would cost you some effort, but you are getting paid for it, and we are not getting paid for delivering it on a golden plate on your doorstep, as you can not be bothered to use online resources.

Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job

Hi,
Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job.
strange, isn't it ?

I want to have openbox in the job list of a bash. as if my xinitrc was "exec xterm" and I manualy enter the "openbox &" commande in the xterm window. I suppose this is a common wish : telling bash to read from file then from keyboard, but that not exactly what bashrc do.
"ps j" for openbox started in bashrc
PPID PID PGID SID TTY TPGID STAT UID TIME COMMAND
1769 1773 1773 845 pts/0 1752 S 1000 0:00 xterm -e bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh

1783 1805 1805 1783 pts/2 1805 R+ 1000 0:00 ps j
"ps j" for openbox started by keyboard or PROMPT_COMMAND

1732 1747 1747 1732 pts/2 1747 R+ 1000 0:00 ps j
ps have PGID equal to the bash TPGID, so it is foreground. openbox from PROMPT_COMMAND have his own PGID, so it is background. openbox from bashrc share PGID wish bash ... so if bash do not consume Ctrl-c signal openbox receive it ? I assume it is some things like this, but why ? INVOCATION and JOB CONTROL sections in bash manpage do not seems describe this, so that's a strange behaviour.

Update table form local file as background Job

Hi Expert,
I have a requirement to update a database table through Text file in a background. I am trying to do through OPEN Database to upload the file to Application server and then triggerind a event for background job. please provide method to update the table in background job.
Regards,
Kapil.

hi,
if i have understood you can try this:
1) create a custom event with transaction SM62.
2) schedule the update job ( with the update program in its step ) trigging the event set in (1) .
3) execute the program that upload the local file from presentation server to application server . The last istruction of this program has to be the call ot the custom event using BP_event raise fn module in the uplaoad is ok..
4) if the event has been raised, the background job has been executed.

Background job running for a long time - trace is not capturing.

hi guys,
My background job runs for more thatn 4 hours. some times. (normally it completes withing one hour)
i tried to trace using st12 ....and executed this program. but not got complete trace report of 4 hours.
what is the best way to trace long running programs like this.
is there any alternative for this...???
regards
girish

Giri,
There is no need to trace a program for the full 4 hours. There is usually just one piece of rogue code causing the problem, and it can be identified quite quickly.
If I were you I would just watch the job run via SM50, to see if it lingers on any database tables. Also check if the memory is filling up - this is the sign of a memory leak.
You can also try stopping the program (via SM50 debugging) at random points, to see what piece of code it is stuck in.
The issue should reveal itself fairly quickly.
Tell us what you find!
cheers

Variants for background jobs

You need to schedule and automate batch jobs in an organisation. There will be multiple variants and multiple steps within same batch jobs. The variants are date dependent and needs to change every day. You need to automatically change the variants every day and schedule the jobs. Also check for the failures in the jobs. Apart from that Once the jobs in one server example : R/3 server ends the jobs in BW servers should be triggered automatically. Explain all steps with proper T codes and also provide a dry run example. Also provide all the table used for the variants purpose.
Please help on this,thanks
Narendra

Hi Narendra,
The background jobs are scheduled depending on the requirement with specific variants which are both date specific and even specific sometimes. These variants are created for the programs or reports which are run in the background job ,These variants are stored in VARID table for client specific variants and
VARID_CI for client independent. For most of the times all these jobs are maintained in some job scheduling tools so that they automatically inform about job failures and processes can be automated.In our organisation we use UC4 for background job schedulign and it controls the process as you are looking for.
Please award points accordingly

Regarding Variants for Background jobs

Hi Folks
Can you please let me know the procedure how we can create the variants for Background jobs.
Points are assured for correct answers.
Regards,
kumar

Hi Sree Ram,
Check this info.
If you have any selection screen parameters for your program you need to enter the values for those fields in runtime. So, if you schedule your program in background to execute then there is no one to do this job. Here comes the concept of Variant.
With variant you define what are the selection field values in the runtime. During runtime the program picks this values and runs the program.
When you execute your program which has selection fields, you enter the values and then you click on 'GO TO ' tab and 'SAVE AS VARIANT'.
When you schedule your program in background, give this variant also. Then it will run automatically.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.
Regards
