How to create a process which is running in background?

I am developing an application which creates a data file after some queries are done. The user sees a message saying that the data file is being preparing and a email notification will be sent to the user. I would like to have the process for creating data files run in background so the user does not wait till that process is done.
Could someone give me some ideas or suggestions how this should be done?
Thanks in advance!

You could use a servlet and run a seperate thread to complete the process. An easier way is to use an IFRAME. You can direct a page to run in an IFRAME that is 0 width X 0 height. The user could then continue on without having to wait on the process to complete.

How to submit a program after completion of a background job

Hi Experts,
I have a small issue. In my report program i am calling one transaction using call transaction it will trigger a background job. After completion of this background job i need to submit another program, Because the background job updating few values, using this value only the second program functionality will works.

                    WITH backgr = 'X'
                    AND RETURN.

Hi,
There is one function module there which gives you the job status .. if the job is finished then the value will be 'F'.I don't exactly remember the FM but then you can search with BDLSTATUS or BDSTATUS in SE37..
do.
call fm BD****STATUS
IF STATUS (IMPORT PARAMTER) eq 'F'.
exit.
endif.
enddo.

How to reach Java program which is run as individual process

Hi There .
My question is if I run a java program as individual process using Runtime , can I reach this process and change some variables up there, like set a boolean variable to false , or stopping running thread properly. whatever. till now I figure out two ways , either kill the PID of my program (if I want to stop it ), or touching a new file and when the program sense that the is been created he will take an action ,like exit or do the things that I want to do, I tried and I googled it but I ends up with nothing , what I understand it's like it's irreversible thing when it's run there is no way back. Thanks in Advance

No you can't interact with a process you start as if it were just other Java code.
What you can is interact with it in the same ways you can interact with any other process. For example through the process input and output stream. Or perhaps through Sockets.

hi,
For a batch job or long running program (SM50):
Select the program to be debugged
Menu: Program/Session -> Program -> Debugging
In the job overview(SM37) you can debug each job with the ok-code JDBG.
Warning : This is like a restart of the job.
-> All possible updates will be executed !

How to debug a program exit in a Workflow ?

Hi experts,
                  How to debug a program exit in a workflow when the workflow is triggered ?
thanks in advance
regards
Ashwin

In 4.6c I did this by creating a function module and a table (zsm50_debug). In the table are just two fields: User name (key), and a flag (yes/no).
The function module:
FUNCTION zsm50_debug.
*"*"Local interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(Z_DEBUG_USER) LIKE SY-UNAME
DATA: z_exit,
        z_debug.
CLEAR: z_debug.
DATA: starttime   TYPE t,
        currenttime TYPE t,
        time_passed TYPE i.
starttime = sy-uzeit.
* Check if debugging is switched on
SELECT SINGLE debug FROM zsm50_debug
                      INTO z_debug
                      WHERE uname = z_debug_user.
* Debugging is switched on:
IF z_debug = 'X'.
*   Not an endless loop, but it will continue after approx. 1 minute...
*   Plenty of time to go to SM50 to debug the program and continue!
    DO.
*     Change the value of z_exit to 'X' to exit the loop an stay in
*     debug mode.
      IF z_exit = 'X'.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
*     To prevent an endless loop (if the user forgot that debugging was
*     switched on in ZSM50_DEBUG, time is measured to allow the program
*     to continue after 2 minutes
      GET TIME FIELD currenttime.
      time_passed = currenttime - starttime.
      IF time_passed > 120.
        WRITE: / '!!!==========================================!!!'.
        WRITE: / '!!!DEBUGGING STILL SWITCHED ON IN ZSM50_DEBUG!!!'.
        WRITE: / '!!!    Program was delayed by two minutes    !!!'.
        WRITE: / '!!!==========================================!!!'.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.
This FM reads the table and checks if the flag is switched on. If so, it loops for two minutes. After that, it continues regardless. If not flagged, it continues immediately.
This way, you can debug any program that is running in the background.
In every method I program I add this FM right in the beginning. With authorization for SM50, I can then debug the program (in production it may be difficult to get the correct server, if there are more).

How many times a program has been run?

Is there a transaction or table or something that tracks how many times a program has been run? The number of times the program has been run plus using the programs' attributes for last changed would help me a lot. We need this for an archiving study to determine of the client has set up the configuration correctly since they went live and have been executing the correct programs. Thanks and mucho rewards if someone has an answer. FYI - I have done a forum search and could find nothing on this topic. I have looked at the tables TADIR and no help, as well as transaction STAT.

I know ST03N transaction can be used extensively to determine how the programs were executed or even to know who all are using a particular transaction...
I tried to find if we can find the number of executions of a program through this transaction, I could not find myself...
try if you can find it through this tcode.

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

How do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?

how do i stop programs from automatically running when i start up my macbook?
programs such as.. email and Skype.
When i go to system preferences, then users & groups, then to my name, log in items ....this box is clear, i have unchecked everything, yet things still start up......

sometimes these applications will have a setting in the preferences to not open on login of computer. If you see none of that, you can go into:
system preferences> Users & Groups > Select your user>Login Items.
unlock the settings by hitting the lock icon on the bottom left of the window then youll be able to uncheck these things from opening when you log in.
Hope this is helpful or answers the question.

How to debug the program in background

hi
how to debug the program in background

Hello everyone,
I often debug my programs via the sm50 transaction and it works very well (especially when you put the dummy loop ^ - ^ ). However we are confronted to a major problem when more than one user tries to debug. We get a message saying that the maximum number of users in the debugging mode has been reached!! Thus we each have to wait for our turn to debug our program. It's a real pain.
We've searched for a parameter to configure the number of users for the debugging mode but in vain
Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If yes, what do I need to do to correct it?
Any suggestion would be helpful as I am new to BW.
Thank you beforehand.
Regards,
Dimple

I hear a lot of disk I/O from my iMac 1TB drive. How can I see apps may be running in background? Time Machine is not running.

I hear a lot of disk I/O from my iMac 1TB drive. How can I see apps may be running in background? Time Machine is not running.

If you wnat to see the applications that are running, open the Activity Monitor application (it's in /Applications/Utilities). After opening it, select "All Processes" above "Show" in the toolbar, and you will see all the processes that are running.
I/O errors often happen on a damaged hard drive. If you are receiving that error, you should make a backup with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner as soon as possible and take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get another hard disk.
If the warranty is void, you can try installing it yourself, but note that there are some iMacs which are very difficult to have the hard drive replaced. Search the steps in iFixit > http://www.ifixit.com

ABAP program to run in Background job

Hi,
We have a custumized program (SO Creation) calling some functions (like: WS_QUERY, WS_UPLOAD, WS_DOWNLOAD, CREATE_TEXT and CALL TRANSACTION VA01) and can only run thru dialog process (foreground). Is it possible to convert it to something that can run thru background job?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi Deo ,
Unfortunately cl_gui_frontend_services will not work in background.
Please have a look at following information about cl_gui_frontend_services :
The class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES contains static methods for the following areas:
File functions
Directory functions
Registry
Environment
Write to / read from clipboard
Upload / download files
Execute programs / open documents
Query functions, such as Windows directory, Windows version, and so on
Standard dialogs (open, save, directory selection)
To Use this, you should be bit familier with OO ABAP Concepts. So I will suggest you to go through with OO concepts of ABAP. It will be of great help to you.

Nikhil
