HR Report running in the Background

Hi everyone,
I have a HR report which runs in the background (every 2 weeks) using a variant. When I execute the report using the same variant in the background using the menu option, it works fine( for that matter, even in the foreground) , but when it runs on the scheduler, the report gives totally different results. What could be the reason? This report does use the Logical Database.
Your answer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Reeta

Hi
what i see from your point is that you are putting the report in background from the selection screen only and making it a periodic one with the same variant.even if u r using dynamic variants in that case also when the report will runs after two weeks it will take the values of the two weeks back instead of taking it in correctly
so it would be better if you can schedule the program from sm36 with program name and variant ,then it will work perfectly fine,and logical data bases pnp and all work perfectly fine in background,
in case i understood ur point wrongly then please let me know

Layout to a Report run in the background

For a standard SAP Report which is run in background everyday with a variant . How can I attach a layout ( i created for sort column )to the report ? I want the output of the report to be as per the Layout ...How can i assign the layout to the report ?

Hi,
By attaching a layout, if you mean that you want the output spool to be changed as per the new layout, then i dont think that it is possible directly.
You have to copy the standard program and do the changes. Later on schedule this program in background with the variant.
Best regards,
Prashant
PS : How have u created a layout with sort column. Have you copied the standard program ?

Can the width of a report that has been run in the background be increased?

Hello Experts,
How can I increase the width of a report that I have run in the background so that it does not wrap text to the next line?
I have been running the same HR report successfully in the background for many months. Today I ran it with the same parameters that I've always used and when I retrieve it from my Own Job Spool - System | Own Spool Request | Display Contents the last field is wrapped to the next line.
Thanks.

Jeanette

Jeanette,
Thereu2019s another possibility if Tedu2019s suggestion doesnu2019t work. When you look at your spool requests, thereu2019s an icon on the toolbar next to the eyeglasses that looks like a yellow rectangular callout. Itu2019s called u201CDisplay in Maximum Widthu201D. Select the Spool no. to display and then press this icon. Shift + F4 is the shortcut.

Page breaks appear in the spool output of report when run in the background

Hi All,
Report is using fm 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display the report. parameters passed to this fm for display are :it_fieldcat,is_layout,it_events,t_outtab.
Page breaks appear in the spool output when report is run in the background.These page breaks needs to be removed. When executed in the background, the excel extract should be the same as if pulling directly from the report itself.
How to remove the page breaks in background?
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek Singh

Hi
You can use the below code , which the reprt run in background. If you run the report in background thenyou need to use 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
RECEIVING e_offline = off.
IF off IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
ENDIF.

How do we create a variant for report which runs in the background?

Hi,
I want to create a report which will have some variants and will be running in the background?
The main intention is to transfer the data from one database into another. Please explain the step by step process.
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
When you run a report program in foregorund(If you have a selction-screen), by pressing F8 button, it takes you to the screen where when you press execute button, the report is executed.
In this screen, you can enter the requirec values which you wish to store in the variables in the selection-screen and press SAVE button, then a variant will be created. You can create the required variants for your report and then when executing the same report in background, the process goes in this way,
Go to SE38->Program-> Execute->Background, there you can give the variant name and press EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY and your program runs in background for the given variant.
Hope this is helpful to you. If you need further information, revert back.
Reward all the helpful answers.

Firefox running in the background

I've noticed that Firefox often hangs and keeps running in the background even after I closed the browsing windows, which is quite annoying.
I'd like to use a VPN but it's kind of pointless given such an error; I'd switch it off thinking Firefox is down but it's running.
I've had problems with constant error messages and slow performance.
I'm sure there are ways to work around this, such as shutting down the process in task manager each time or changing this and that setting, but can we expect a version that does not contain this error in the first place?
That would be so much easier.

I have noticed that sometimes I suspect, but it has been either explainable, or on other persons machines where I have not been able to troubleshoot
Before starting any further troubleshooting I suggest you try updating to the current version of Firefox
* [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
As a first troubleshooting step then try Firefox in its safe mode. That is a temporary and reversible troubleshooting stage with some features shut down
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
You mention error messages please paste them into your next reply, (or attach as a screenshot) and say what you were doing at that time.
As an Aside
I would also point out there is a reported but unfixed bug (or was last week) on what was the Aurora channel and is now called Developer Edition, that some times causes this, but even worse as it crashes and locks profiles.
Unusual that, common bugs breaking through form Nightly to Aurora.

Newsy running in the background

How do I prevent Newsy from running in the background. I don't remember downloading this service. I went to read a page on Huffington Post and I started hearing their reports.

Hello, not sure but get...
Find Any File...
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
Search for Name contains... newsy
See if there's a .plist hidden deep that you can trash, then restart.

I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.

I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.
I guess what I have experienced might be a special case of 'Restore previous sessions'. The actual situation was that after I rebooted my laptop, Adobe update jumped out indicating an update being finished successfully. After I clicked on the 'close' button of the Adobe window, it automatically started firefox and linked to its website. But I did not find the 'Restore previous sessions' page this time. Then I restarted firefox, this time there was a start page with 'Restore previous sessions'. However, sadly enough, it is only restored my pinned pages plus the Adobe website. Actually, I am using 'bookmark all tabs' from time to time to secure opened tabs, but this time I did not expect such an incident. I would suggest to improve the 'Restore previous sessions' with multiple time tags and appear in all cases including my reported case here, after updating firefox, crashes etc. I like firefox in most occasions, therefore believe and hope it becomes better and more robust. Thank you very much!

Hi,
Please see the following support request: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2628065
I think the best option would be to leave feedback here to let the relevant development team know about the problem you have had: https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback
Also you could try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager] add-on which gives more control over how sessions are restored.

How do i see what applications are running in the background

My iMac is running very slow my operating system is OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor. How do I see what applications are running in the background?

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I want thunderbird to run in the background when i call the default email client

I have software that sends emails out for reports. The software calls the default mail client (Thunderbird) and sends the email. However this opens Thunderbird and gets in the way. Is there anyway that this could send the email without opening Thunderbird? Can it run in the background like outlook express? It needs to close after email is sent.

Try with "Minimize to Tray" Add-ons

When I click on a new link, it opens a whole new firefox instead of using my default which is running in the background

I have firefox as my default browser. Anytime I click on an email or search for something, instead of opening my default browser, firefox loads a new firefox page. It is a blank page just as if I had never had one. It has nothing on it except how you would start out before you set up your tabs and history etc. My default firefox is still there running in the background but I must click on it and manually put in the link I was trying to open.
Any suggestions.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Hi
The problem i sthat the function in the custom folder evaluated by the Oracle fisrt and after that are evaluated the functions which sets the global variables from the parameters.
So if you open the workbook nothing selected but the global variables has set and the next time you got the result with the previos parameters.
If you change the parameters it wouldn't change the result set only if you refresh it again without changing the parameters.
This is not a good solution for using parameters in custom folders. As I know there is no good solution for this problem yet.
