File operation process at the background

Tell me please is background copying in explorere is action by design ? As well as confirmations on delete/remove - they are appearing at the background too.
For example i am at some folder, i choose some iso and press ctrl+c, then i press ctrl+v and what i see ? Nothing - process started at the background!

Roger, he's talking about where the dialogs appear - BEHIND the other windows.
Yes, Windows 8.1 has "pop behind" Explorer dialogs. It has been happening since Windows 8 came out.
It CANNOT be by (good) design, though I am starting to wonder whether it's because of a lack of design.
When you REALLY learn to appreciate the gravity of this is when something like this happens:
You drag and drop a file to copy it and one of the dialogs pops behind
and prompts you for something (e.g., "do you want to overwrite"). You don't happen to notice its button light up on the Taskbar so you think the copy succeeded, then you do a bunch of work on the assumption that you're using the new
file, then only LATER do you realize it's still waiting for you to answer, to complete the copy.
A few weeks ago I went most of the way through a software release process and nearly released the old software again because of this.
It really does need to be fixed.

Retrieve the date a file was created in the background

EDITED CONTENT----
Apologies all...I just realized there is a specific forum for this type of question. I will post it there.
Thanks Marilyn for point this out>>>>should have read it first as suggested.
/message/2572763#2572763 [original link is broken]
Hi guru's,
I have a custom application that does some windows directory cleaning based an older than 'X' days setting. I have to do some calculation to determine if the file being processed is older than that number of day and delete it if it is. To determine the file created date I use the method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES from CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. This works great in the foreground but dumps in the background because the handle object reference is not created in the class constructor and subsequently does a call to a "NULL" object.
My question:
Does anyone know of a way to get the date a file was created while running in the background? If not, please read on --- I have another question regarding an alternate approach I am trying.
I have tried the following approach FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING to return an internal table with all files in a directory. Works fine in the background, but the created date is not in the return values. Soooooo I looped at the internal table and called this system function:
        CALL 'C_FILE_ATTRIBUTES'
            ID 'NAME'     FIELD tempfile
            ID 'TYPE'     FIELD singleFile-
            ID 'LEN'      FIELD file-len
            ID 'OWNER'    FIELD file-owner
            ID 'MTIME'    FIELD file-mtime
            ID 'MODE'     FIELD file-mode
            ID 'ERRNO'    FIELD file-errno
            ID 'ERRMSG'   FIELD file-errmsg.
This returns the MTime, which is the Modified time (in Epoch time format: number of seconds since Midnight 1 January 1970), but no created time. Does anyone know the ID for the created time? I tried CTIME but no value is returned.
Along with this question: any idea if a FM or Method exists to convert Epoch time to a standard time. I could do the calculation myself....but it seems someone would have already done this. No point in re-creating the wheel.
Thanks so much,
Quack

Placing an Import process in the Background

Hello -
I have an Import process that is currently running in the foreground on Sun Solaris, and I want to place the PID of the Imp process in the background. How do I place it in the background while it is running? Do I have to suspend, then place in the background?
Thanks.

Not sure. I assume unix or linux being used.
If , for example you were editing a file in 'vi', how would you put that in the background and get a prompt?
Do a 'man' of 'fg' and 'bg'.
Can you put all the import parameters on the command line (or use a cmd file)and append the '&' symbol (above nummeral 7 on keyboard) to the line? Make sure to log import feedback to a file.

Contracts - 'Document still being processed in the background; try again la

Hello,
When trying to make adjustments to multiple contracts we are receiving the error message 'Document is still being processed in the background; try again later.' We have tried again later to no effect.
Ultimately, this means that these contracts (30 altogether) cannot be altered in anyway i.e. held, deleted, released, approved and it means that they just sit there.
This also has implications when raising another contract to replace these contracts. For example if you want to use the same vendor this will cause great confusion for our users when trying to select the correct correct to spend money against when raising purchase orders. Often the result is the user selecting the wrong contract.
Have you any suggestions on why this error message is appearing?
Many Thanks,
Sarah

Record the date and time of the very last step in the workflow log.
Using the date and time of the last workflow step, here are some transactions that can be used to investigate the root cause of the problem.
SM58 - check for stuck remote function calls
ST22 - check for system dumps
SM13 - check for stuck update requests
SM21 - check in the system log for anything unusual
SWUD - run a consistency check on the workflow
Enter the task number and hit enter e.g. 14000044

Document is still being processed in the background

Hi guys.
I receive this error when wanting to Change a purchase order in SRM. The PO is already in R/3, and the user has tried to make the GR in SRM. This GR then failed in R/3 because of incorrect accounting data, so I changed this in SRM. Then the PO changed to status Awaiting Approval, but we do not use any workflow for approving POs. Plus when trying to change the PO I get the message Document is still being processed in the background; please try again later. Well, this has been there for over a week now, and I have searched both this forum and also SAP Notes, but cannot seem to find anything that helps me.
There are no locked entries in the BBP_WFLOCK table, just as there don't seem to be anything in the RFC queues. I have checked the SC, PO and Confirmation in the BBP_PD, but no news here.
Something that interested me though is that in BBP_PD for the PO it seems that there are 2 active versions...?
Any other idea as to how I can "release" this Purchase order again?
Thanks for info.
DM

Hi,
Let me know the following things.
1. Do you see any approver in the approval preview of the purchase order , you have told that you are not using any workflows , but i wanted to make sure.
2.When do you get the message"document is still being processed in the background" ? is it when you change the purhcase order?
3) please have a look at the workflow log using the transaction 'SWI6', use the object type as bus2200 , use purchase order GUID and then see wether the setreleased has been run for the purchase order.
4) if the setreleased is not done , then you have to run the setreleased method for the purchase order.

Bad workflow ? :-( document is still being processed in the background :-(

Hi guys,
I have activated workflow without approval for PO's (saved & changed: WS14000075).
Everything was working fine.. BUT.. For some reason, now some PO documents have the status "Waiting Approval", and if I try to edit them,I got the following message: "document is still being processed in the background"
How can I fix this ?
Thanks for your help guys !
Best regards,
Diego

Hello Diego,
I've already seen this kind of pb.
You should navigate to the admin workflow runtime (menu swld) then administration --> workflow runtime, there is some usefull transactions.
First check the customizing (SWU3) and ensure that workflow runtime is ok.
Then try to restart wi in error (SWPR and/or SWPC) and check RFC transactions (SWU2).
Rgds,
Pierre

Camera shows a black preview, if there is any operation running in the background thread.

Hi,
Camera launched from app using UIImagePickerViewController shows a black preview, if there is any operation running in the background thread. This was not an issue in ios 6. Can you please fix this with next update?
Thanks & Regards,
Dileep Kumar

Some things that might help:
1. Only the most recently used apps actually occupy memory (used to be the most recent 4, but may have changed in the latest iPhones). After 4 (or so), IOS writes them out of active memory, as it does for even the latest 4 if there's no activity for a long time. So the business of closing all the open apps, apart from the most recent ones doesn't make a difference. Tis article has a good explanation:
http://www.speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
2. There are settings about background app activity that might help:
- Settings, General, Background App Refresh controls which apps can update their data in the background
- Settings, Notifications controls which apps can tell you things, which they have to wake up to do.
- Settings, Privacy, Location Services controls which apps monitor your location - another activity that uses resources
Hope some of that helps

Everything is very slow and I can almost always hear processing in the background

Diagnostics Information: ℹ️
 Jan 29, 2015, 09:18:13 AM Self test - passed

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
 Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
 Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
 The results are on the Clipboard.
 Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it. Then go to the next step.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post."

How to run a JRockit process in the background(Linux ia64)

Hello,
I am trying to start a JRockit process 1.4.2 (with a Java app) from an SSH console and make it keep running after I log out. This is on Redhat Enterprise Linux WS 4 with Itanium II processor (ia64).
The obvious thing such as
java <options> <class> &
or even
nohup java <options> <class> &
Do not work and the process terminates when I log out.
Is there a recommended method or a facility to run JRockit in the background as a service/daemon? Does JRockit has switch similar to â€“Xrs of Sunâ€™s JVM?
Starting the process on system boot and having to reboot the system to restart it are not acceptable.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zapta

Zapta did get an answer. You may have missed it if you're using nntp to access the forums, since many newsreaders don't track threads that change the subject. I recommende the using the web UI at dev2dev.bea.com.
Anyway - Use "-Xnohup" with older versions of JRockit. In recent JRockit versions, "-Xrs" works as well, since we seen problems with people hardcoding that flag into various applications launchers (Tomcat for one).
Cheers!

The new operating system changed the background color of the photos app from black to white. How do I change the color back to black?

The new operating system (IOS 7) changed the background color of the Photos App (Camera Roll) from black to white. How do I change the color back to black?

You can't. Sorry.

You can tell apple that you'd like it and see if they respond....eventually. (you don't get responses from your feedback mails but they have been known to issue changes that users have asked for, such as the ability to mass delete apps)

When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

Hi,
when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
Anybody?
Thanks a lot!
Wouter

I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

Schedule Dimension processing in the background

in BPC 7.5 MS version , it is possible to schedule , dimension processing in the background

Yes you have DM package for all administrative tasks more and less which can be schedule into background.
Any DM package as you know can be schedule.
Just check the DM packages from folder: Apshell\PLANNING\DataManager\PackageFiles\Examples.
Especially AdminTask_Process.dtsx is the one which I think is what you need.

But when i schedule this program in Background it is not generating flat file .

Hi,
As suggested by Eric, your Z Program is probably using GUI_DOWNLOAD Function Module.
GUI_DOWNLOAD or any other GUI function modules (FM) will only run in foreground, not in Background.
Ask your developer to code that Z Program with OPEN DATASET logic, if its possible.
The Reverse situation is well described in [this thread|Background Job assigment with variant in SM37 , for Textfile uploading], please refer it to get some relative information for the same.

Neha

Hi.. neha,
use this function module..
EPS_OPEN_INPUT_FILE
give the file name and directory path as input to this function module..
if any exception raised like OPEN_FAILED then the file doesnot exist..(sy-subrc value will be set to 6 for this exception )..
so you can write the code as
call function 'EPS_OPEN_INPUT_FILE'
exporting
 file_name = 'ASDA'
 DIR_NAME = 'D:\usr\sap\R3S\DVEBMGS02\work'
TEXT_MODE = ' '
IMPORTING
DIR_NAME =
FILE_PATH =
FILE_SIZE =
EXCEPTIONS
 INVALID_EPS_SUBDIR = 1
 SAPGPARAM_FAILED = 2
 BUILD_DIRECTORY_FAILED = 3
 NO_AUTHORIZATION = 4
 BUILD_PATH_FAILED = 5
 OPEN_FAILED = 6
 READ_DIRECTORY_FAILED = 7
 READ_ATTRIBUTES_FAILED = 8
 OTHERS = 9
if sy-subrc eq 6.
message 'file does not exist' type 'E'.
else.
write : 'file exists.'.
endif.
ASDA is an existing file in my application server in the specified directory.. so am getting the message as FILE EXISTS.
you can see all the directories in Application server in transaction code AL11.
reward all helpful answers,

Firefox will not open a browser now that I installed version 9.0.1. It runs as a process in the background. Can I go back to the previous verison?

Internet Explorer works. However I would prefer to use Firefox - if only I could get it to work.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005
