Functionality of Start macro

Hello All,
When I use the start macro it's getting triggered when I load the values in the planning book as well as when I save the data.
But the SAP help says it will trigger only when the value is loaded. Please confirm.
Thanks,
Siva.

Hi Siva,
The sytems always reloads data after the user saves the data.
This means that start macros are also carried out after saving.
When a user selects the value in shuffler, this works with
start macro

How do I get at a variable set in the On Start macro?

Within the On Start macro of an Access Web App, I set the variable CurrentUserEmailAddress to =UserEmailAddress. I would like to be able to access this variable somehow from a table On Update event macro. How can I pass this variable along?

For those following this thread, some of the suggestions don't apply to Access Web Apps, unfortunately.
Access Web Apps have an On Start macro (accessible from the 'Advanced' button on the Home ribbon), which runs when the app is launched in the browser. This is a UI Macro.
The OnUpdate event is a table event, and runs a data macro.
As you've noticed, you can't access the UserEmailAddress() function in a data macro, and you also can't access variables set in a UI Macro.
UI Macros and data macros run in different contexts (the former locally in the browser, and the latter on the server) so the sharing available between them is limited.
There may be alternatives, but one possibility is to keep a table to hold variables (in this case just CurrentUserEmailAddress, but if you have more, you could use the same table).
I would try creating a table called Vars, with a column called CurrentUserEmailAddress. Add a single row to it (the value for CurrentUserEmailAddress is not critical, since we will override it in the OnStart macro).
Create a data macro called SetEmailVar, that takes a Value as a parameter. It will set the value in the Vars table.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="no"?>
<DataMacros xmlns="<DataMacro><Parameters><Parameter">http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/accessservices/2010/12/application"><DataMacro><Parameters><Parameter
Name="Value" Type="Text" Description="Value"/></Parameters><Statements><LookUpRecord><Data><Reference>Vars</Reference><WhereCondition><Expression><Original>[ID]=1</Original><FunctionCall
Name="="><Identifier Name="ID" Index="0"/><IntegerLiteral Value="1" Index="1"/></FunctionCall></Expression></WhereCondition></Data><Statements><EditRecord><Data/><Statements><Action
Name="SetField"><Argument Name="Field">CurrentUserEmailAddress </Argument><ExpressionArgument Name="Value"><Expression><Original>[Value]</Original><Identifier Name="Value"/></Expression></ExpressionArgument></Action></Statements></EditRecord></Statements></LookUpRecord></Statements></DataMacro></DataMacros>
Then create a corresponding GetEmailVar macro that will fetch the value and return it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="no"?>
<DataMacros xmlns="<DataMacro><Statements><LookUpRecord><Data><Reference>Vars</Reference><WhereCondition><Expression><Original>[ID]=1</Original><FunctionCall">http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/accessservices/2010/12/application"><DataMacro><Statements><LookUpRecord><Data><Reference>Vars</Reference><WhereCondition><Expression><Original>[ID]=1</Original><FunctionCall
Name="="><Identifier Name="ID" Index="0"/><IntegerLiteral Value="1" Index="1"/></FunctionCall></Expression></WhereCondition></Data><Statements><Action Name="SetReturnVar"><Argument
Name="Name">Value</Argument><ExpressionArgument Name="Value"><Expression><Original>[Vars].[CurrentUserEmailAddress ]</Original><Identifier Name="Vars.Email"/></Expression></ExpressionArgument></Action></Statements></LookUpRecord></Statements></DataMacro></DataMacros>
Now in the OnStart macro you can call SetEmailVar and pass it =UserEmailAddress(), and in the tables OnUpdate macro, you can call GetEmailVar to get the value.
Note that there is a limitation to this solution, which is that if multiple users are using the app at the same time, the variable will reflect the most recent user, so any user which gets the value will get that value, which may not be what you want.
Another potential approach is to remove the built-in Save button from the action bar, and to write data macros to do update/insert, and call them from a custom action bar button and pass in the value from the UI macro for the button. However, that
solution is somewhat complicated, and won't work at all for datasheets since you can't force users to save only through the action bar button since just changing the current row will trigger a record save.

Call Function'BAPI_USER_CHANGE' starting new task 'TEST'

Hi All,
I have problem with starting new task statement, I am using one FM after that am using starting new task 'TEST'
statement but its not working in one system its working fine in other systems, Please help me who this works.
Thanks in Advance.
Eg: Call Function'BAPI_USER_CHANGE' starting new task 'TEST'
Regar

Thanks Lqueiroz ,
Now again i am getting a DUMP by saying ,
"An error occurred when executing a REMOTE FUNCTION CALL.
It was logged under the name "At least one entry could not be "
on the called page."
so what can be the reason for this
call function 'ZRFC_PER_DIEM' starting new task lc_taskid performing subr on end of task
        exporting
          h_guid      = it_header_guid_n
          request_obj = lt_requested_objects_n.
      wait up to '1' seconds.
      read table gt_scl into ls_scl index 1.
      p_transaction_per_diem = ls_scl-value.
      read table gt_scl into ls_scl index 2.
      transaction_currency_code = ls_scl-value.
form subr   using task_id type clike.
data: p_transaction_per_diem type char13,
        transaction_currency_code type char3.
receive results from function 'ZRFC_PER_DIEM'
                           tables
                            value = gt_scl.
So basically i am getting dumo when receive statenment is running , by giving above dump.

ABAP Dump when calling Function Module Starting New Task

Hi all. I have a tricky situation now, I am doing a POC on parallel processing.
I am getting an ABAP dump on the following Call Function line which is in class lcl_steer_114numc (See below for full program):
METHOD start.
 CALL FUNCTION 'Z_ZZCLS_STEER_114NUMC'
 STARTING NEW TASK me->id
 CALLING me->finish ON END OF TASK.
ENDMETHOD. "start
However I get the following ABAP dump:
Short text
 Statement "CALL FUNCTION .. DESTINATION/STARTING NEW TASK/IN BACKGROUND TASK"
The function module only contains a wait statement to simulate parallel processing. It is strange that it dumps here, because when I change the FM call to another call that has been triggered successfully from other classes, it still produces the same ABAP dump.
The background of the Proof Of Concept is to see if I can get an event to trigger the next process that depends on the outcome of the previous process. Parallel processes are run in the start methods by calling RFC.

Well, the thing is I did manage to run 3 other Function Modules asynchronously succeesfully prior to that function call, with the same exact function call syntax. Further more, I have tried editing it with your suggestion but I get the exact same dump.
The complete function group can be downloaded here (slinkee file):

And it explains it here (but is not helpful / relevant at all) as I ran the program from SE38.
|Error analysis |
| There is probably an error in the program |

| The program was probably called in a conversion exit |

I hope you try to download the slinkee files and you will notice the call function I performed was no different than the other call function RFC calls that really are working.

Behaviour of CALL FUNCTION fname STARTING NEW TASK DESTINATION 'NONE'

As per ABAP help documentation, the statement CALL FUNCTION fname STARTING NEW TASK DESTINATION 'NONE' should create a new main session in same user session.The behaviour is wrong as per documentation.
But current behaviour:
The statement CALL FUNCTION fname STARTING NEW TASK DESTINATION 'NONE' is creating a new user session.
Any reason?

Hi Prakash,
I'd agree with Suhas, that you're reading the documentation wrong. Here's your quote:
As per ABAP help documentation, the statement CALL FUNCTION fname STARTING NEW TASK DESTINATION 'NONE' should create a new main session in current user session.
If you look at the help, you can see that it says:
When the destination NONE is used, a new main session is opened for the current user session.
Do you see the difference? Also, note that in this context main session basically means that we're talking about a new external session:
Each task ID defines a separate RFC connection with its own context, meaning that, in the case of repeated function module calls of the same task ID, the global data of the relevant function group can be accessed, if the connection still exists.
In dialog processing, note that the maximum number of six main sessions cannot be exceeded, else an error message is displayed.
If you're still in doubt, check out the online ABAP documentation for [CALL FUNCTION - STARTING NEW TASK|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPCALL_FUNCTION_STARTING.htm]. So I'd say the documentation is in line with the actual behavior.

Pattern Matching functions in DP Macro

Folks,
Can anyone tell me if there are any pattern matching functions in DP Macros? Here is the requirement:
If the time bucket is a quarter, then hide some rows. If the time bucket is a month or something finer, then show the same row. Assume that all the time buckets in the data view will be the same (no telescoping buckets profile)
So, suppose that I use BUCKET_DESCRIPTION and get the name of the bucket. If it is Q.* (using pattern matching lingo here), then I would like to set the row attributes accordingly. If it is M.* then set the row attributes to visible.
Can you please throw some light on this? Would you do it some other way?
Thanks,
Satish

Hi,
You may try with the macro function BUCKET_DAYS(). This will find number of days in a given bucket.
Then you can write condition, If bucket days is more than 1 and less than 7, then it is weekly.
If bucket days is more than 7, then it is monthly.
Please see if it is helpful for you.

Manimaran M.

Function ROUND() in Macros with APO 4.0

Hi,
We are facing problems with using the Round Function in SNP Macros.
As per SAP Documentation, ROUND( X ; Y ) rounds X to Y decimal places. The arguments can be numbers that you enter in Operator/function dialog boxes, as well as cell(s), row(s) or column(s) from the planning table or the auxiliary table.
- Round Function is taking the constants as Argument X and giving the required output.
- However, it doesnot give any results when used with Auxillary KF/KF given as Argument X. During the macro design, no error is provided. In the Planning Book on execution, It gives a dump with message - Unable to interpret "KF Name" as a number.
In case anyone has worked with the function, inputs would be greatly appreciated and suitable awarded
Thanks and Regards,
regards,
Sudhir

In the first place, can you explain why you need the function through a macro when it can be done in dataview configuration. IN the transaction /SAPAPO/SDP8B, you can always enter the data view and click on edit and then right click on the auxilary KF to setup the decimal precision required. I am not sure if you are trying to achieve the same functionality through a macro.

I need a spreadsheet that allow any advanced functionality such as macros and active x components. Any possibility of that ever happenning?

I have spreadsheets that contain macros. Unless and until software producers change the programming or capability that allow any advanced functionality such as macros and active x components, I cannot use my ipad. So I am forced to lug my laptop and my ipad around when the ipad would be perfect for my work in insurance. The fact that this capability does not exsist in docs to go or numbers means there either is a major hang up or these software manufacturers don't feel the need is strong enough. Either way, it really puts people like me in a bind. Does anyone have a solution for this? Is it really that hard of a thing to do to be able to read and run macros?

Unfortunately there is NONE. I have tried searching for a long time but never succeeded to find an app that can read Macros. I hope there must be a very strong limitation for developers to support macros.

Calling Function Module starting new job

Hallo !
I'm calling a 'Z' function module from a class method.
I want the calling will start immediately a new job.
(That I will see in SM37)
(Like we can do with submit statement)
Is there a way to this ?
(I need the function will start a job - because
I want to save the function log in the Job list.)
Thanks in advance,
N.S.

step : 1
Sample Program: Creating a Job with JOB_OPEN
explanation :
Use JOB_OPEN to create a background job. The function module returns the unique ID number which, together with the job name, is required for identifying the job.
Once you have "opened" a job, you can add job steps to it with JOB_SUBMIT and submit the job for processing with JOB_CLOSE.
Create your job with JOB_OPEN. The module returns a unique job
number. Together with the jobname, this number identifies the
job. Other parameters are available, but are not required.
JOBNAME = 'Freely selectable name for the job(s) you create'.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
JOBNAME = JOBNAME
IMPORTING
JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER
EXCEPTIONS
CANT_CREATE_JOB = 01
INVALID_JOB_DATA = 02
JOBNAME_MISSING = 03
OTHERS = 99.
IF SY-SUBRC > 0.
<Error processing>
ENDIF.
step 2;
Sample Program: Adding an ABAP Job Step
explanation :
Use JOB_SUBMIT to add a job step to a background job that you have opened with JOB_OPEN.
A job step is an independent unit of work in a job, the execution of an ABAP or external program. Each job step can have its own authorizations user and printer/optical archiving specifications.
Add a job step: ABAP program
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'
EXPORTING
AUTHCKNAM = SY-UNAME " Runtime authorizations
" user
JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER " Value from JOB_OPEN
JOBNAME = JOBNAME " Value from JOB_OPEN
REPORT = 'REPORT' " Report to be run
VARIANT = 'VARIANT' " Variant to use with
" report
PRIPARAMS = USER_PRINT_PARAMS " User printing options
ARCPARAMS = USER_ARC_PARAMS " User archiving options
" Both sets of options
" come from
" GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS

JOB_NOTEX = 04
JOB_SUBMIT_FAILED = 05
LOCK_FAILED = 06
PROGRAM_MISSING = 07
PROG_ABAP_AND_EXTPG_SET = 08
OTHERS = 99.
step 3
Sample Program: Immediate Start with JOB_CLOSE
explanation :
Use JOB_CLOSE to pass a background job to the background processing system to be run. Once you have "closed" a job, you can no longer add job steps to it or change job/job step specifications.
The function module returns an indicator as to whether the job was automatically released or not. A job is automatically released to run only if the user who scheduled the job has RELE release authorization for the authorization object Operations on background jobs.
A job step is an independent unit of work in a job, the execution of an ABAP or external program. Each job step can have its own authorizations user and printer/optical archiving specifications.
Submit job for processing: immediate start
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
EXPORTING
JOBCOUNT = JOBNUMBER " Job identification: number
JOBNAME = JOBNAME " and name.
STRTIMMED = 'X' " Schedules the job for
" immediate start. The job
" is started immediately
" only if the user has the
" RELE authorization to
" release a job to run.
IMPORTING
JOB_WAS_RELEASED = JOB_RELEASED " If user has authorization
" to release jobs to run, job
" is automatically released
" when it is scheduled. This
" field is set to 'x' if the
" job has been released.
" Otherwise, the job is sche-
" duled but must be released
" by an administrator before
" it can be started.
EXCEPTIONS
CANT_START_IMMEDIATE No longer used. Replaced by IMPORTING
parameter JOB_WAS_RELEASED.
INVALID_STARTDATE = 01
JOBNAME_MISSING = 02
JOB_CLOSE_FAILED = 03
JOB_NOSTEPS = 04
JOB_NOTEX = 05
LOCK_FAILED = 06
OTHERS = 99.
IF SY-SUBRC > 0.
<Error processing>
ENDIF.
in step 1 we will create a job with name etc..
in step 2 we will assign work to this job
step 3 : we will close the job inorder make it scheduled .

Advanced functionality such as macros and active x components

Currently no app allows for advanced functionality such as macros and active x components on tablets. This seems incredibly crazy to me since tablets allow you to do so much without having to lug your laptop around. What is the reason why iworks, or for that matter, neither does docs to go leaves these features out? Is there hope that these features will be integrated in future versions and in the meantime, is there any program out there that can be purchased that reads and executes macros that were created in excel?

Unfortunately there is NONE. I have tried searching for a long time but never succeeded to find an app that can read Macros. I hope there must be a very strong limitation for developers to support macros.

I want to execute a dialog program in background. I am trying to use call function starting new task.
I am facing some syntax issue. Can any one guide me how to use call function starting new task. The function module is RFC FM. Do we need to define task some where before use please guide.
Thanks in advance. A sample program will be gr8.

Hi,
Incase you want to call a RFC FM in background you can call ity like this.
     call function 'Y_L_TO_CREATE_HUPAST' in background task
             exporting
          venum   = y_v_venum
          backg   = 'X'
           buser   = y_lv_uname
          langu   = sy-langu
          objky   = y_lv_objky
          printer = y_lv_printer.
Here Y_L_TO_CREATE_HUPAST is a RFC FM.
