How do we debug jobs in background

hi guys can any one clarify my doubt regrding debugging a job which is scheduled
in back ground..
thanks in advance..........

Hello,
You can debug very easily if your program that you want to debug is a custom program. You can put an endless loop in the code somewhere.
WHILE SY-SUBRC = 0.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDWHILE.
Now go to SM50, select the work process that is running the program. Click Program/Session->Program->Debugging, it will then open the debugger and you will be looping at your endless loop. Change the value of SY-SUBRC to get out of the loop and debug as normal.
or
1) Fix the break points.
2) Create job.
3) Go SM37
4) Select the job and write "jdbg" in command line.

How to find process chain using background job in sm37

How to find process chain using background job in sm37

Better is to select the job.
Select (Define) Step (s) or F6.
Select the line and Menu Goto>Variant.
The variant contains the name of the CHAIN and its VARIANT.
Success
We faced an old job and via job monitoring we were informed about a cancelled job every 'interval'.
We noticed that the related chain was deleted but still the job was scheduled each interval again and was cancelled because an event was missing
We could not find the scheduled job via SM37.
Via view V_OP, view over tbtco abd tbtcp, we find the related entry.
We delete these entries via function BP_JOB_DELETE....

How to prvent job in Background during a particular daytime?

Dear all,
I have a urgent requirment to prevent all job in background for mring 7:oo am to evening 7:00 pm.
Is this possible?
if yes then plz suggest me possible way to accomplish my requirment.
Regards
Ricky

I think you can accomplish this in 2 different ways.
1. When you define the job start condition using SM36, you can choose Date/Time option and provide Scheduled start and No start after OR
2. If you choose Operation mode and provide an operation mode (night operation, day operation etc). speak with you basis folks to configure this option.

Error while running a job in background

Hi,
I got the following error message while running the job in background.
"Step 001 started .
Control Framework: Fatal error - GUI cannot be reached.
ABAP/4 processor: RAISE_EXCEPTION
Job cancelled"
What is the reason for this error and how to correct it?

ALV Grid control is based on the custom controls on the screen. When the program is scheduled in background, it tries to create GUI related front-end objects and hence the error u201CFatal Error u2013 GUI cannot be reachedu201D. This type of problem is common with all the programs that use the ALV grid control to display the output.
Solution:
Whenever we execute this type of programs in background, we should be passing a blank docking container instead of the custom container as parent to our grid control.
The docking container doesnu2019t need any of the custom controls on the screen; instead it attaches an area to any or all of the four edges of the screen (top, left, right or bottom). The behavior of the areas in the container is determined by the sequence in which they are initialized. Docking Containers are attached to the screen from the inside out. This means that when you create a second container, it is attached to the edge of the screen, and the container that was already there is pushed outwards.
Let us modify the standard program (by taking a copy of it) to enable it to execute it in background.
Following modifications have to be made:
·        Define a docking container in the program
data: or_doc type ref to cl_gui_docking_container .
·        At the time of creating a custom container, check if the program is being executed in background or foreground. If the program is scheduled in background, then create a docking container instead of custom container.
if cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) is initial.
    create object or_custom_container
           exporting container_name = c_container.
create object or_grid
         exporting i_parent = or_custom_container.
else .
create object or_grid
         exporting i_parent = or_doc .
endif .
Now test executing the program in background. The report would be generated.

Schedule job in background and ftp the data to non-sap system

Hello All,
I have a requirement where in i have to write a program(with selection screen) to download 2 files into application server(frequency: end of each day i.e daily at 23:59), and then in turn i need to put those two files into FTP server using FTP script.
i guess my flow of the code should be
1. write the program with selection screen and
2. get the data from corresponding tables and put it into internal tables.
3. then i have download the data into application server
my question is : how i will schedule the job in background to download the data into application server daily? using job_open, job_submit, job_close?
4. then how i need to move the files from application server to FTP server using FTP SCRIPT?
Also my doubt is once i execute the program ONLY, the background job is triigred (because i wrote job_open, job_submit and job_close inside my program). then how will i input the data into screen daily and download the data into application server in background automatically???? i am confused ...
Please help me to solve the above issues
thanks

So the path name and the file name are always the same? In that case you could simply create a SM49 entry with hard coded file & path name.
An easy example for the COPY command under WINDOWS OS:
Create a command in SM49 called ZCOPY with following data:
Operating System = Windows NT
OS command: cmd
Parameters for os command: /C copy "C:\tmp\my_file.txt" "z:\tmp\my_file_copy.txt"
Additional parameters allowed: (leave blank)
In this case you would call SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE by filling this 2 parameters:
     commandname                  = 'ZCOPY'
     operatingsystem               = 'Windows NT'
In the case that the file name and the path are not fixed you would set the following in the SM49 definition:
Additional parameters allowed: X
In this case you would call SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE by filling this 3 parameters:
     commandname                   = 'ZCOPY'
     operatingsystem                = 'Windows NT'
     additional_parameters       = params "<== fill in the path and file name during run time into this variable

Go to SM36 create a Job
enter Program and Variant for that program in STEP..
click on Start Condition
Click on DATE and TIME enter date scheduled Start and END times
click on Period Values
Click on HOURLY/WEEKLY etc
CLick on RESTRICTIONS also to use further criteria.
so your job will be scheduled and run as per your requirement.
and in SM37 Transaction check the status of that JOB

How to restrict the job start conditions (only "Immediate" type) ?

Hi,
We allow our users to schedule and execute in background mode transactions (example IP19, IW38). We gave them for that authorizations (object S_BTCH_JOB with LIST, PROT, RELE and SHOW - objetct S_PROGRAM with BTCSUBMIT).
We would like that users can schedule and execute their jobs only with the u201CImmediateu201D job start condition (in the Start Time screen for the type of start condition : Immediate, Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode).
Another solution: prohibit the scheduling and the execution background job in a certain time interval ...
How can restrict the job start conditions ?
Thank you.
Patrice.

Hi Jan,
Yes, sa38 makes it possible indeed to execute in background into immediate mode a job but
the user have to know the name of the program to be carried out ...
The user knows only the name of these transactions trade. For example, IW38.
In the menu of this transaction, SAP gives the possibility to execute in background :
Program --> Execute in Background --> display of Start Time screen for the type of start condition :
Immediate, Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode).
It is at this time there that we want that the user can only choose the "immediate" mode.
We must thus prohibit the other choices (Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode) ... and
and we don't know how to restrict these other options in this screen "Start Time screen for the type of start condition".
Thank you.
By.

In sm37, got to that job, select that job and click on display spool list to see the output of that job.
See the status of the JOB whether it is finised or executed with errors etc
If it is executed and the status shows FINISHED then go to the related transaction and see the output of that Report.

How Do You Debug Oracle Report Calls From Forms On The App Server?

I am working on a system which uses oracle forms and reports 10g.
In our system we call, we are calling oracle reports from oracle forms. How do we debug the form code when the form and report both are running on the application server in production.
To my knowledge, this can not be done when the form is running locally since there is only OC4J forms services locally.
I understand one views error messages through the jinitiator console but how does one turn on this facility? How do you determine what line the error occurred?
I am looking for step by step instructions as answer to this issue.
Please be specific. Please write in good English.

Good afternoon,
If you have the developer suite installed on your PC, run the report from your form and then follow this tree from the start button on your PC:
Developer Suite Home =>
Reports Developer =>
Oracle Application Server Report Services =>
Reports Queue Manager
Select View => Past Jobs and then find your report in the list, double-click the report entry and you'll see the error message that was generated by the Report Server when you tried to run the report.
Good luck,
Don.

[abap] Running job in background

Hi !
When I am running a job in background using the functions :
'JOB_OPEN','JOB_SUBMIT','JOB_CLOSE'.
Eventually the job is in finished status, however
I get the following error popup message :
" classification locked (user username)
you cannot classify the batch
because the batch class is
currently being processed.
Do you want to try to carry out the
classification again ?
Please tell me what's the problem, and how to correct the problem ?.
Thanks
moshe

Most likely you try to change data which is locked by another user to the same time in some cases - depending on what you were doing the locks are created by the same job in a previous step. In both cases there is only one scenario that works - check, resp. wait until the locks are released.

How do you Debug start routine?

Hi gurus
How do you Debug start routine?
Thanks in advance
Raj

By inserting a BREAK statement in the routine you won't be able to debugg as the upload process is done in background.
Instead you should insert a code like this:
data flag.
while flag ne 'X'. endwhile.
Then launch the process and go to transaction SM50 select the process and execute Program/Mode -> Program -> Debugging
