File download in Background mode

Hi All,
A file need to be downloaded to the folder
dc20\nt71data\jsox\" while execution in background mode.
It is also mentioned that the file need not be sent to the application server.
I am sure in background mode file couldn't be downloaded to the presentation server.
Can you please predict where would be this folder and how to proceed?
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmanan

hi,
Please check in AL11 transaction.Where you will find the list of folders in Application server.

Shan

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.

both FM arent working, and when I try to execute in background mode, before anything, I recieve the following error:

and without the ASLM FM, the TEXT_CONVERT give me the conversion_failed exception...
the directories are right, that I am sure, because I just copy&paste it from CG3Z/CG3Y when I uploaded and downloaded to

am I missing something?

Using a report layout in background mode

Is is possible to apply a saved report layout like you apply to the alv grid to a csv file run in background mode?

Hi Cynthia ,
I can figure out one way :
SUBMIT ZREPORT TO SAP-SPOOL LAYOUT 'ZLAYOUT'
VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
DESTINATION 'locl'
KEEP IN SPOOL 'X'
IMMEDIATELY 'X'
WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
AND RETURN.
This will return the report in your layout to the spool and can be downloaded as well.
Thanks

Download an excel file in background mode

Download business document (T-code: OAOR) in background mode

I have attached a file to a production order and it is saved as a business document. From t-code OAOR (business document navigator), I can view the attachment (or directly from the production order).
I would like to download the attachment in background mode. Up to now, I only find a method export_attachment in the ABAP object cl_gos_document_service which can download the attachment in frontend.
Is there any ABAP object / FM which can cater this? Or please kindly suggest what can I do in order to achieve this. Your help is greatly appreciatedly. Thanks!
Below is the material that I can find in this forum
Re: Sales Order Attachment

check out this weblog.
/people/rammanohar.tiwari/blog/2006/03/25/generic-object-services-gos--in-background--part-ii

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

Is it possible upload local file to internal table in background mode?

Hi, all,
Is it possbile to upload local file(not server file) to internal table in background mode.
If possbile ,please tell me detail . Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Lily

Hello,
This is possible.
If you report has to be executed in background using schedule Job. Then the file path should be constant and it can be hard coded in the report itself while populationg the internal table.
Then create a variant for your report and use that variant in the job.
This will solve your problem I guess.

Local file in background mode

Hi experts,
Is it possible to upload data from local drive(presentation server) to sap in background mode.
As I know ,in the background mode we can upload files from application server only.
but here my functional consultant saying they did upload data from local drive to sap in background mode.
please suggest.
thanks in advance.
sastry.

hey,
Yes it can be made possible,
The only way to access files in a background job is to have them on the application server and opened via OPEN DATASET or similar.
*--Local Variables
DATA : l_file TYPE string,
l_line TYPE string,
l_index TYPE sy-tabix.
*--Clear
CLEAR : l_file.
l_file = p_ipfile.
*--Read the data from application server file.
OPEN DATASET l_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
*--Error in opening file
MESSAGE i368(00) WITH text-005.
ENDIF.
*--Get all the records from the specified location.
DO.
READ DATASET l_file INTO l_line.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ELSE.
SPLIT l_line AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab

Is there a chance that firefox will inform that there are files downloading in the background before exit ?

after I exit Firefox all downloading in background files are ended without any information about it. Is there a chance to change it ?

Try changing the hidden preference '''''browser.download.manager.quitBehavior''''' to a value of 2 in about:config to get a warning window when closing Firefox during downloads. I have included a link below on using about:config

Hi Krishna,

'Unknown Error' when running a file download in SM36/7 - fine when manual.

I am running a program through a scheduled job (in SM36/7), and the program downloads a file to a specified directory/folder on my file server. I am using the method
cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
to do this.
However, this process fails in the background job. When I run it manually, it succeeds. In other words, there is nothing wrong with the code.
Essentially, I think there is some information missing that it can get from my logon when running it manually, but not in the background job.
Does anyone know of a solution for the above? Points will obviously be awarded.
I have searched the SAP Notes, and done some searching on the Net, but I have had no joy.
Thanks,
Casper

Hi Casper,
Frontend services wo'nt work in background job.
If you have to download a file from a background job, please use the following statement :
    OPEN DATASET filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      LOOP AT itab.
        TRANSFER itab TO filename.
      ENDLOOP.
      CLOSE DATASET filename.
Hope this helps,
Erwan
