How to run ABAP Function Module in Background FOR LONG TIME?

I am not that experienced with ABAP. I am on SAP BI 7.0. I WANT TO RUN A FUNCTION MODULE
RSDRT_INFOCUBE_DATA_COPY.
I used SE37 and then executed the module, I supplied the parameters on the form which opped-up and then program started running. . Program was however interrupted after 10 minutes by ABAP. How can I run it in background without interruption?
THANKS A LOT.

Change parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time.
Default value for this is 600 seconds (10minutes).Change it to a time which you think you need for copying infocube data.
May be 5 hours.
PS:You can not run Function Module in background directly,but you can create a Z* program and call that FM from within that program and then run the program in background.
Hope this answers your query. Best of Luck!
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
You can call this FM in a program and run that program in background.

How to Run a Report automatically in Background for every night

Hi,
How to run a report program in Background automatically for every nigh.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
You can use SM36 and use the "Job Wizard" to define a background job in simple step by step procedure
Or
Goto SM37 and specify a job name.
Next specify the ABAP Program Name of the report you want to execute under Job Step.
Then click on "Extended Job Selection" and goto the Period Tab.
There select "Only Periodic Jobs" and then specify the frequency of execution based on Months, Weeks, Days, Hours or Minutes.
Hope this helps,

How to stop process chain if it yellow for long time

hello all,
I see that my process chain is running for long time and is yellow for more than last 24 hours now. I can see where the chain is stuck(not going ahead).
What do we normally do in such scenarios?
Also one more question I have is about delete PSA request process variant. Can i use the same variant in two different process chains, is yes than do I have to include the name of the PSA tables that are in both the process chains. When the variant runs in 1st chain does it delete the PSA tables from the second chain as well..(i hope i made this clear)
Thanks in advance

Once you have done with your init load manually. Then in case it was just the start of the process in ur Process Chain then first remove the chain from schedule and then go to the start process of the process chain and save the setting for immediate, uncheck the periodic box and save and then come out of the screen and then execute and activate the chain.
Note:
1. Before changing the setting in the start process make a note of the start time and also its periodic value.
2. Once the chain is completed then change the setting in the start process back to previous start time and periodic value.
3. Dont forget to save and activate the chain.

HOW TO RUN ABAP SERVER PROXY IN BACKGROUND?

Hi All,
I have a ABAP Server Proxy running in WAS 6.20. This Server Proxy runs as a foreground Process when the scenario is executed. if we run a scenario with huge load or run scenarios with continuous load, due to the fact that the server proxy runs as a foreground process, the system slows down and has some performance issues. How to handle this issue.Is there a way to run the Server Proxy as a background Job. Please do help me out.
Regards,
Sundararamaprasad.

hi,
here's an idea: encapsulate your proxy call inside an object which can be ran in background.... like an IDoc !
Steps:
create a zidoc in ECC and use it from PI to ECC to send data (instead of your direct abap proxy call).
Afer that, in z_function_module which is used to intregate your zidoc, call your abap proxy.
in WE20 (partner profile), the process mode of your idoc should be of course "Triggered by background program", and then use a job on program RBDAPP01 (with a variant limited to your zidoc) to process your idocs.
Note:
1. the only interest to do that compare to create a real IDoc interface is just (in my mind) to call a common proxy or to want to reuse an existing proxy without too more effort.
2. of course your current proxy call should be asynchronous.
I never tested it, so it's without warranty !
Regards.

How to enable a printer which was offline for long time?

Hi,
One of our printers has not been used for a long time and was set to be permanently offline. Due to the need of printing, the printer was enabled. It is powered on (and can also be disabled and enabled) but is unable to print.
Is there anything in SAP to check to see why it is failing to print?
I have tried to check the status of this printer with other printer which is working fine. There is no difference in between their settings.
The spool requests are waiting to be printed. I would like to check the ip addresses of the printers. Is it possible to find them through SAP. My O/S is Unix.
Please help me to find the IP addresses of printers attached through SAP and I will try to check them first.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Check SPAD -> output devices
Check thats the printer is properly setup and it been handled by and active spool server, check that the printer ip-address is correct and the right method is in place.
You can find the ip address of the printer by doing a ping <name of the printer> in a command prompt.

Juan

How to DEBUG a function module running in background mode? Please help!

Hi Experts,
   I am calling a function module in my ABAP code in background module using the following syntax:
CALL FUNCTION 'YBBC2_CREATE_SNAPSHOT' IN BACKGROUND TASK
          TABLES
            itab_std_format_inv = itab_std_format_inv
            itab_snapshot_inv = itab_snapshot_inv.
        COMMIT WORK.
If I put the breakpoint in the CALL FUNCTION line and execute the program, the debugger does not take me to the valled function module. This may be because I am running the function module as background task.
I cannot comment this "IN BACKGROUND TASK" statement as well since i am debugging in Quality system where I don't have change access.
So how to DEBUG a function module running in background mode? Please help!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
You could try to use the following trick:
(1) Put an endless loop into the coding of your function module where you want to start debugging, e.g.
DATA:
    lx_exit_loop(1)     TYPE c.
lx_exit_loop = ' '.
DO.
    IF ( lx_exit_loop = 'X' ).
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
(2) Call your function module in background task
(3) Call transaction SM50 and search for the background process.
(3) Choose from menu Program/Mode -> Program -> Debugging
Now you the debugger should bring you right to your endless loop. Set lx_loop_exit = 'X' in the debugger and continue (F5 or F6).

Jco Call a Function Module in BackGround

Hello All.
Some one can send me a simple exemplo how to call a ABAP Function Module in BackGround.
Can i set this in Java side?
..or only set the BackGround Work Process in SAP side?
In my java application call the Abap Function Module like this:
client.execute(function);
How to set parameters to execute the function in BackGround.
My rpoblem is when the return the data to java side ...occurs the error TIME_OUT in Dialog WorkProcess.
I need to call in background to better performance and to prevent the TIME_OUT.
Best regards.
Taylor.

Hi.
I dont know how to do, but, you can do a previous RFC, this new RFC execute the original function in background mode. I did something like that:
- JAVA: client.execute("RFC_FUNCTION", input, output);
- SAP: RFC_FUNCTION:
CALL FUNCTION func IN BACKGROUND TASK
                     [DESTINATION dest]
                     parameter_list
                     [AS SEPARATE UNIT].
or
CALL FUNCTION update_function IN UPDATE TASK
                             [EXPORTING p1 = a1 p2 = a2 ...]
                             [TABLES t1 = itab1 t2 = itab2 ...].
I hope that help you

Help on ABAP Function Module (Unit 1)

Hello ABAP Experts,
I need help with the below mentioned lesson plan. I donot have source code for The ABAP Function Module - BC401_GET_SEP_STRING. For the Source Code Solution in the Lesson Plan to work, I need the source code for the above mentioned function module.
The Lesson Plan with Solution is posted below:
Exercise 1
Unit: Data Types and Data Objects in Detail
Topic: Defining Data Types and Data Objects
Basic Statements
Processing Character Strings
At the conclusion of these exercises, you will be able to:
u2022     Define structure types locally in the program
u2022     Define elementary and complex data objects
u2022     Split strings
u2022     Use conversion rules
u2022     Display the contents of data objects in lists
In this exercise, you will use a template to create a program that receives a single data record from the database table SFLIGHT in form of a character string. The program will split the this character string into its components and display it formatted in a list.
Because the focus of this exercise is not on the transfer of data as a character string, we will use a function module that will provide us with the required database. This will simulate actual cases, such as data transfer from an external system.
Program: ZBC401_##_SPLIT_STRING
Template: SAPBC401_DTOT_SPLIT_STRING
Model solution: SAPBC401_DTOS_SPLIT_STRING
is your two-digit group number
1-1 Copy the program, SAPBC401_DTOT_SPLIT_STRING and give it the new name ZBC401_##_SPLIT_STRING.
1-2 Familiarize yourself with the main body of the program. Pay special attention to the content of the data object datastring after the function module call. Use the Debugger to do this, and/or display the character string in a list. (The function module itself is here seen as a black box. For this exercise, it is not necessary to understand its construction.)
1-3 To be able to split the character string into its components you must first remove the ## characters. Remove the two leading separators from the character string first. Then copy the initial part up to the closing separators to the auxiliary variable set_string. For this, set_string has to be defined appropriately.
1-4 Now use the separators to split the contents of the auxiliary variable set_string into the structure wa_flight_c. The latter is typed with the local program structure type st_flight_c. You still have to comment out the components of this structure type and assign them an appropriate type.
1-5 As a test, display the fields of the structure, wa_flight_c in a list.
1-6 In the list displayed in exercise 1-5, you should have observed that some of the fields were displayed without formatting u2013 for example, the PRICE field. Your next step is to change this.
To do this, convert the data you have extracted by copying it to data objects with suitable types. Also, not all components of wa_flight_c are to be displayed.
For this purpose, a structure wa_flight has already been defined. It is typed with the structure type st_flight. You must comment out the components of st_flight and find appropriate types for these components for the formatting. Then copy the identically-named components of the character-type structure wa_flight_c to the fields of the structure wa_flight.
Display the contents of the structure wa_flight in a list. Use the appropriate formatting options for the WRITE statement for the fldate and price components.

Cause: Before returning from an autonomous PL/SQL block, all autonomous transactions started within the block must be completed (either committed or rolled back). If not, the active autonomous transaction is implicitly rolled back and this error is raised.
Action: Ensure that before returning from an autonomous PL/SQL block, any active autonomous transactions are explicitly committed or rolled back.
