hi experts,
can anybody pls give me sample code for running proram in backgrnd mode <b>(not immediate run but a future time), moreever it should be done thru programs not sm36 and 37.</b>
thanks
pankaj

Hi,
You need to use
JOB_OPEN
JOB_SUBMIT
JOB_CLOSE
In FM JOB_CLOSE, there is a parameter SDLSTRTDT where you can pass the date.
Best regards,

Hi,
Did you put the date fields to be dynamic in your variant? i.e if in your variant you specified date range of last year, this will not work for this year and eventually give you an error message that the date is not valid...

Report to be generated,mailed based on Reminder date through background job

Hi All,
We have a requirement where in I need to mail the "Task Monitoring" report to the Personnel administrator based on the reminder date set for different task types mentioned in IT 0019.
I am using T-code sm36 to set the background job on a monthly basis.
I am able to mail the report for as per the reminder dates set in the "Task monitoring" report. But I want to know how the system will pick the reminder date on a monthly basis to mail the report accordingly.
Eg. For the month of Jan, i have set the reminder dates falling in that very month in the selction output of "Task Monitoring" report and mailed.
Now I want sytem to automatically pick the reminder dates and mail the report. Pls let me know the steps to make the sytem pick the next reminder dates on its own on monthly basis.
Points would be rewarded for appropriate solutions.
Thanks.

Hi,
After pressing save button to create a variant, system takes me to the Variant Attributes screen. There I select on "Selection variable" accross "Reminder date". I clcik on the "Dynamic date calculation".
Then when i go to the "Name of Variable column" and i select "First day of the month" from the drop down. Can u pls explain me how this would help me capture the "Reminder dates" on monthly basis falling on each month when i mail the report on monthly basis.
Eg. For the month of Jan, i need all the reminder dates falling in this month.
For the month of Feb, i need all the reminder dates falling in this month. Like this, It goes on all for all the months.
Thanks.

CHaRM Reporting Data Collection Background Job

Hi CHaRM Gurus,
I saw lot of thread about data collection for CHaRM Reporting using /tmwflow/Config_lock. Question is do we need to run everytime before run the report or is there anyway can schedule in background to collect data Asynch. There is a SAP Note 1269192 applied in both Solution Manager and Managed system. If any job to schedule what job and the ID to use run what authorization. Because this job need to collect transport request and objects, so definitely required different authorizations.
Thanks
RS

Hi,
The job is SM:TMWFLOW_CMSSYSCOL, program /TMWFLOW/CMSSYSCOL2. The data collector program requires additional authorizations for Read RFC user you have defined for client '000' of the satellite systems.
Authorization object: S_TRANSPRT
ACTVT = 03 and TTYPE = <*> (full authorization)
Refer to note 881553 for authorizations.
Thanks & Regards,

Can we change the selection criteria for RV60SBAT Background Job for Billin

We have a requirement to add a new selection criteria for RV60SBAT Background Job for Billing. We want to process back order invoices first. So we want a specific background job to select these. So we want to select any orders that are eligible to be invoiced where order date < the date of background job(r sy-datum ). Any ideas where we can introduce this logic for selection criteria?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt
For your requirement , copy the standard RV60SBAT program to Z program and in that copied RV60SBAT program , maintain the logic that the backorder invoices should be first processed.Then after that regular background job for billing should take happen .Then your requirement can be fulfilled

Background jobs are scheduled in future date

Hi
A system which is used by a customer test system was installed and scheduled the jobs in 2010( in future date).
Now we have changed the date to current date. But still all the background jobs are in future date.
There are around 500 jobs are scheduled. And it not possible to reschedule one by one.
Is there any way workaround to change it back to current date format.
Best Regards,
Jai

Dear Jai,
The jobs scheduler should have this dates changed to current. If its a third party system which are running these batches, then be careful to convey the same message to the 3rd party.
If its in SAP, then the schedule change date should execute your jobs. At the same time, ensure that the transports between the test systems match to the destination.
Do let me know for any clarification.
Thanks

How to get data from the called program using SUBMIT in a background job?

Hi Experts,
I've a program which creates a background job using JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE function modules.
Between the above function modules I need to call a program using SUBMIT VIA JOB statement.
My problem is, How do I fetch some data in an internal table in the called program to the calling program after the SUBMIT statement?
I tried to EXPORT and IMPORT the data, but they are giving a failed sy-subrc when using this background job.
Kindly let me know your inputs and valuable suggestions.

Kumar,
When we execute a program as a background job then the output will be sent to Spool which needs to be fetched again.I guess we need to use Submit via spool as mentioned by Rajat.
Check these threads to get some idea
submit report to spool & import spool id

Background job not updating data for some steps of program

We have created a custom program and submitting the standard program RPRCCC_READ_KR1025
which is used for conversion of AMEX credit card files.
Since this program can update data for 1 company id at a time,we have created a background job
for that program with 10 steps and 10 variants of data related to 10 different company codes.
when this job is executed it is not updating data for all the 10 files , sometimes it updates 5,7,etc...
If we execute the other files which didnt update in job manually they are getting updated.
All the files executed with that program can be seen in PRTA transaction.
Regards,
Gautham.
Edit: Solved.
Since the standard program updates the database every time with commit work
there should be some time until the next database update,so we can use wait command
after the submit statement which will do the trick.

Hi,
I mean B(Sub Assembly)
Item Rollup Flag
A No
--B Yes
---B1 No
---B2 No
---B3 No
--C Yes
In this case when we run cost rollup by giving item A, Oracle will consider below structure.

Format of Date Field in RAR background job history page

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to customize the format of the fileds: "last run", "next start" in RAR background job history page?
By default it is in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
I am just wondering my customer's requirement is possible or not?

Hi,
There is no option to set the date format in the Configuration settings. Check the FM /VIRSA/ZCC_GET_STATREC_DATA which has the CALL FUNCTION 'GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE'. RAR will read the time from the system.
You may look at formatting the the date format here.
Hope this helps!!
Warm Regards,
Raghu

Background Job cancelling with error Data does not match the job definition

Dear Team,
Background Job is getting cancelled when I run a Job on periodically but the same Job is executing perfectly when I run it manually(repeat scheduling) .
Let me describe the problem clearly.
We have a program which picks up files from an FTP server and posts the documents into SAP. We are scheduling this program as a background Job daily. This Job is running perfectly if the files contain no data. But if the file contains data the JOb is getting cancelled with the following messages.
And also the same Job is getting executed perfectly when repeat scheduling is done ( even for files with data).

Passing data from a background job to RFC calls in different App server

The program i am working on can be explained in the following steps:
Step A- We use a standard program that is executed as a background job and the standard program obtains some data for a particular scenario.
Step B - The job(standard program) during its execution creates many RFCs executed as dialog work processes on various application servers and processes data.In the RFCs various exits are executed.
We currently write data to database(Z table) in Step A and retreive data in exits in Step B to access the information written to DB(Z table). We want to eliminate writing to database since it consumes time.
Is there any solution apart from writing data to database and retreiving the same.
I am not sure if we can use ABAP memory or SAP memory to access the information in the exits since they are executed on different App servers.

We have not been able to arrive at a solution to the below, any solutions / inputs will be rewarded.
