How to run report in background, save output to word or excel

Hello all,
I have a huge report that needs to be run in background and I need the report in word. When running in Dialog it takes too long and SAP times out. How do you get something to run in background and have the output in excel. I know you can go into SM37, find the spool and then forward the spool request to a local file, is there an easier way to do it? Maybe setting up some kind of to text printer since the background job always asks for the output printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Sergiy

  • Running reports in background?

    hi,
    is it possible to run reports in background? i'm trying to find a way where in i can run / submit a process/procedure/report then go back to it after its done. this will help me allow do some other things while waiting for a report to finish.
    has anyone done this?
    thanks
    allen

    I didn't read the full article you linked to Tony, but you can just use one of the functions available in the apex_util package. (apex_util.get_print_document) - which returns the report into a blob variable.
    See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/apirefs.40/e15519/apex_util.htm#CHDDECIA

  • How to run report from form using run_object_report

    I AM USNING FORMS9I/REPORTS 9I , HOW TO RUN REPORT FROM FROM USING RUN_REPORT_OBJECT AND HOW
    TO PASS PARAMETER AS WE DID IN RUN_REPORTS PLEASE HELP ME

    here an example !
    I hope this example you can use it
    PROCEDURE pr_reporte IS
    BEGIN
    DECLARE
         repid REPORT_OBJECT;
    v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
    rep_status Varchar2(20);
    d1 DATE;
    d2 DATE;
    BEGIN
         d1 := :GLOBAL.DIA_INI;
         d2 := :GLOBAL.DIA_FIN;
         repid := find_report_object('rep_lab02');
         SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'p_fec_uno='||to_char((add_months(last_day(d1),-1) +1),'DD/MM/YYYY')||' '||
         'p_fec_dos='||to_char(d2,'DD/MM/YYYY'));
         SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
         v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
         rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);

         END LOOP;
         IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
              WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver','_blank');
         ELSE
              ventana('E','error reporte no encontrado','S');
         END IF;
    END;
    END;
    The 'rep_lab02' is the name of the report that you give in the node reports
    p_fec_uno and p_fec_dos they are the parameters in the report
    repserver is the name of server created with rwserver

  • Run report on background and save to file

    Hi all,
    I have a development suite 10g.
    I have created simple paper report with one parameter.
    And I want to run this report on background from forms and get it
    saved to file (PDF or RTF). The parameter for report should be passed from

  • Running report in background

    Hi,
    1.  I am running a report in background, while running if system encounters any error then i want to download this error log to the presentation server, is there any function module to do this if not please suggest another possible solution to download the error log to presentation server.
    2. In the above scenario when we are running a program in background, is it necessary to save the error log file on application server or we can download the error log directly to presentation server.
    please suggest the possible solutions.
    Regards,
    Amol

    Hi,
    While running your program in backgorund mode genrally you can not download any data to prsentation server
    there r 2 ways you can solve your problem.
    1. Populate the error log and upload it to application server file Download the error log file from the appplication server by Using the command CG3Y.
    2. Populate the error log and display it, doing so will create a spool when executed in backgoround now you can go to spool display it and download it to your local system.
    These are the simplest ways to do it.
    But if you still want your system to transfer error log to local system at the time it is executing in background you can do it by configuring RFC destination in SM59 detail documentation for RFC configuration can be found in the SDN.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards

  • How to run reports thru menu in 10g

    Hi,
    I'm a junior oracle programmer and have already migrated forms 6i to 10g. Now I have to migrate the reports to 10g. I have read many documentations about running report from forms or menu, but the more I read, the more confused I get. Please note that I am very new to all this oracle stuff. So please bear in mind that I might not understand everything too well. Thats the reason I would like help from you experts out here.
    We have a menu (mmb) which has two horizontal sub menus (eg. Forms & Reports). Now Forms and Reports again in turn hv couple of vertical sub menus. Each vertical submenu under Forms calls a form (for eg. submenu_f1 calls forms1, submenu_f2 calls forms2 and so on). Same thing for Reports (eg. submenu_r1 calls report1, submenu_r2 calls report2, etc). Now this is what we want for the Reports. Each of our report has parameters like Begin Date, End Date, Agency_Type, Year, etc. We want our user to have one more choice in the parameters "FORMAT" (pdf, excel, html, etc) . Now this is what I dont know how to do. I cannot use run_report_object here cause I cannot create a report object in menu (like how we can do it in forms). I tried web.show_document but the problem in this is that everything is hard-coded, so I cannot give a choice in the desformat.
    I would appreciate if someone can tell me how to run my report thru menu and give the user the option for the format. The users mostly want the output in excel (but might want pdf, etc too).
    Plus we want to schedule certain reports to run at certain times everyday or every month, how can I do that?????
    Any help would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for taking your time to reply my query.

    Hi,
    cannot use run_report_object here cause I cannot create a report object in menu (like how we can do it in forms).
    Create a generic named Report node in the forms that you reference from the RunReport object request. This way you can run Reports from a menu

    <p>You can inspire from this article<br>It is a sample dialog that allows to launch any report with 0 up to 10 parameters.<br>Open the sample dialog, then you can see how the Run_Report_Object() built-in is used in the Start_Report program unit..<p>
