Function module needed to schedule a report to run in background.

Hi,
I am in need of a basis fm ro schedule a report to run in the background.
There exists a function group BTCH with fm MINI_JOB_WIZARD which is what I need.The problem is that all the import parameters is mandatory
IN_JOBNAME
IN_REPVARNT
IN_REPORT
The problem with the above fm is that it requires a report variant which my report doesnt have since my report has no selection screens.
Can you please suggest me any alternative fms which does the above wizard like stuff without the annoyance of supplying a variant .
Thanks

Try to use the standard FM for submit of jobs :

  • Schedule a report to run in background

    Hi all,
    I have a report that has a selection screen .
    When i schedule this report as a background job , it is cancelled : "cannot perform frontend function in batch input mode " ??
    I created a variant and in the job step specified the variant name ...!! would appreciate if anyone can tell how to schedule the report to run as background job ?

    Hi,
    Ok in this case there can be too options.
    1) either take file from the shared network and put it in your presentation server and then take it into application server ( this is manual by using CG3z)and then execute your program in background
    2) or you will have to code using FTP commands
    First connect using FM FTP_COMMAND. you will ahve to use commands like mget etc
    Once connected then pass command using FM
    FTP_COMMAND
    Then get the files Data into Internal table via FTP server which can be done using
    FM FTP_SERVER_TO_R3
    once done use the back ground processing
    Make sure that there is R/3 connection mainained using SM59.

    Sorry, I misread your question - thinking that the report should only be run in the background.
    I agree with the others (also about SMX and SMXX to display their own jobs, but not change them afterwards), but which report (tree) is this?
    You can still give the user an ability to maintain a variant via transaction VARCH though (no execute possibility) . It will check S_PROGRAM p_action VARIANT or look for a user specific protection flag.
    But then the user can submit it online as well from other transactions. That is why I thought you were looking for a way to run it as low priority in the background only.

  • Scheduling a report to run in background

    Hi,
    I have few queries and is it possible to execute them with the help of a background job that would fecilitate in executing the query automatically???
    Thanks & Regards.

    Hi,
    You can do that using information broadcasting.
    Check the thread below for the same. Also if you search the forum you'll get a lot of good material on the same.

    Hi Brian,
    Looking at the error, the server is not able to get to the data source. If you are using ODBC, make sure the server machine has access to the file.
    The exception is coming from your ODBC driver.

  • Can we schedule a report to run in  foreground daily

    Hi,
    I want to run a report in foreground daily.I know this can be done in background but i want to schedule in foreground. Can we schedule a report for running on daily basis. I am getting a dump if i do this in background job.Plz reply me.
    regards,
    Kumar

    Hi !
    In theory you could try the following:
    - Installa a Windows scheduling software such as
      http://www.databecker.de/pc_zeitschaltuhr.html
      on a specific PC
    - Try to create a frontend-schedule to start SAP_GUI
      (i.e. via shortcut with USER/PWD set) and execute the
       report.
    That may work.
    There is a 10-Day trial-download of
    http://www.databecker.de/pc_zeitschaltuhr.html
    so you yould just try it.
    Th site is in german so you may "Google-translate" it.

    Some points would be fine if that helped...

  • Function module needed to read all the BOM statuses

    Dear Friends,
    In a report we are using CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 function module to get the dispaly the BOMs. But it is displaying only the BOMs which are in Active stauts e.g 1 & 3.
    My requirement is needs to read both active and inactive BOMs. Inactive BOM status is 2.
    suggest me if there is any another FM or any another way to get all the BOM status materials.
    Thanks for your help.
    Srinivas.

    You need to supply another application for alternative determination (field CAPID). It should be possible to customize one for your needs using "Define Order of Priority for BOM Usages" and "Define Applications" under "Production->Basic Data->Bill of Material->Alternative Determination"

  • Function module to list out a report's input/output parameters

    Hi experts,
    I'd like to know if there is a function module which can list out all the input and output parameters (variables, tables, etc.) by giving the report name as input.
    If not, please suggest a way to find out the input/output parameters.
    Regards,
    Ancy

    Well, they're not input/output parameters, and really you shouldn't refer to them as such.  A variable is simple what it says - a variable.  You could, I suppose, refer to data sources.  But then, the report could be getting data from a set of function modules.
    So my assumption is correct, you are talking about a where-used list.
    >Check out tables like CROSS. To find other useful tables, put an SQL trace on, do the where used, and see what tables are hit.
