Is it possible to download to excel when a report running in background

Dear All,
I tried to execute one ALV report in foreground and background. In foreground the report is giving excel download but in background no excel download is coming. Is there any specific reason for that?
Thanks and regards,
Atanu

Atanu dey,
If you wnat to download excel in back ground
You have to download in application server only.
EX:
DATA : v_filepath(80)     VALUE '/data/sapdata/inc/error_log/pme_br/',
c_coma     VALUE ',' .
OPEN DATASET v_filepath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
     LOOP AT i_errors_bat.
     CONCATENATE i_errors_bat-plant c_coma
                             i_errors_bat-zzvendor c_coma
                       INTO v_string.
        TRANSFER v_string TO v_filepath.
      ENDLOOP.
   CLOSE DATASET v_filepath.
Note : you can download in presentation server also.
but it requires lot of authorizations and have to use
FTP commands.
Reason is Apllication server in back ground has to
recognize the from which system request came.
Better go for OPEN DATA sets.
Don't forget to reward if useful.....

ALV List export to Excel when program is run in background

Hello,
I am running into an issue with a custom ALV report which contains an export to Excel option on the input screen. However, when I attempt to run the report in background due to high volume of records/expected performance constraints, the job fails to produce a spool when the "export to Excel" option is selected. When I deselect that option, the background job successfully generates a spool, which I can then export to Excel (albeit the formatting will not look the same).
Is the above an accurate statement or does anyone know of a way where either;
1) The background job can create and store the Excel output into a cached directory?
2) The spool generated, when exported to Excel, can match the format of the foreground Excel output?
Thanks in advancce.

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Limit the number of record to download to excel from a report

I am just wondering if there is a way to limit the number of rows that I want to download to excel from a report in apex, right now when I click download to excel it downloads all records. If I am displaying 15 records on report page I want the ability to download only those records.
Any help with that would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Sofia.

Sofia,
The same report query runs for downloading the data into excel, I don't think you can limit the number of records in download.
You can achieve it using custom code, like on click of download excel redirect to another page and then restrict the data as per your need, or you can use the custom procedure to download the limited data.

Download content locally when needed by running task sequence functionality with Windows PE.

I am trying to understand what happens when the "Download content locally when needed by running task sequence" option in chosen on a task sequence deployment. My assumption is that any needed packages would not be identified
and downloaded until task sequence is kicked off.
Using task sequence boot media, it looks likes a package has been obtained before any task sequence has been selected. I am assuming the package was acquired during the WinPE boot process. Can anyone confirm that this is
the correct behavior when using the "Download content locally when needed by running task sequence" option? If not, how would WinPE be obtaining the PS100292 SCCM package?
This specific package contains and HTA file. Only one of several task sequences deployed to the All Unknown Computers make a call to the HTA file. The one that does, the HTA call is the very first step of the task sequence.
--Tony

Hi everyone! I figured what was going on here. I was using an ESX VM and the package was stored on the c:\ from previous attempts and troubleshooting. Long story short, I had to rip the HDD from the VM and add a new one to set every thing back.

MB51, download to excel works different for online and background.

Hi,
Have a question regarding excel download of MB51 in online mode against background.
If I run MB51 online, I can download it to an excel sheet that is easy to read and work with. Each column in the report in seperate column in excel.
If I run it in the background, try to download the spool to excel, I don't get the columns the same way as online report.
Ive tried changing the layout, downloading to excel, downloading to text and then dropping to excel, etc.
Why wont the download from a batch job work the same as online?
Any ideas or anyway to fix?

Hi All,
I am also facing the same problem. When I download to Powerpoint, its getting downloaded properly and whn I download to excel, I am not able to download properly. I have 2 charts of the same report being displayd sde-by-side and under them I have a pivot table displayed in compound view. When downloaded to excel, the first chart is overlapping on top of the report in the excel.
Can anyone suggest if we have any options?
Thanks Shravan

Download to excel from web report generated through ITS

We were on SAP 4.6B. We have several abap reports for which we have a web interface using ITS. On the broweser output we have provided a URL which reads 'Download to CSV file' . This has been achieved by modifying the function www_get_report. The mod first generates a unique filename and exports the name to the memory and generates the hyperlink. The abap report program ftp'ies a the csv file to the ITS server path as in the URL.
Now we have upgraded to ECC 5.0 and we want to achieve the download to CSV option without the modification. What would be the best way to achieve this in the netweaver platform.

Hidden report items with toggle are visible in Excel when a report is exported to Excel.

Hi
I have 4 Bar charts and 4 text boxes in one report in SSRS Report . These charts are hidden based on parameters. I have one visible chart and one text box when report is rendered .
When report is exported to excel 4 charts are visible. Each Bar chart has one textbox in toggle box. If I set toggle to None all hidden charts will be invisible in excel file.
I used iif(Globals!RenderFormat.Name=" EXCEL",False,True)
but it does not work when the chart is toggled by a text box.<v:shape alt="" id="Picture_x0020_1" o:spid="_x0000_i1025" style="width:6in;height:396pt;"
type="#_x0000_t75"></v:shape>

Hi Katherine
Thank you for your quick response.
I am working with three versions .(SQL SERVER 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012)
I designed all reports in SQL Server 2008 and uploaded them in other versions.
For example, I have a chart that it is invisible when the report is initially run.
I want to hide this chart in excel when I export it to Excel format.
In SQL Server 2008: If the toggleitem of a chart sets to a text box the chart is visible in excel when it is a hidden item in the report .
I checked in PDF and word format it is fine and hidden items are not displayed.
There is this scenario for SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012. I tested Globals! RenderFormat in two versions but it does not
work. The main issue is toggleitem. If I remove toggleitem from hidden items they are invisible in three versions when they are exported to Excel. I am not sure if I design report in Sql Server 2008 R2 I can hide some
report items with toggle in Excel format or Not?
Thanks

Error when OO ALV report run in background

Hello all,
We recently applied stack 12 for a 7.0 system. My custom ALV report using CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER coding now returns an error when run in Background. It works fine in dialog.
The error occurred in program CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER=======CP. The log message was "Control Framework: Fatal error - GUI cannot be reached".
Is there a solution for OO ALV reports run in the background? I would not like to re-write my ALV reports using the function call. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!

Yes, you need to code it a little differently, but you can still use CL_GUI_ALV_GRID. Here is an example.
REPORT ZRICH_0006 .
DATA: ITAB TYPE TABLE OF MARA.
DATA: R_GRID TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
DATA: R_CONTROL TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER.
DATA: G_DOCK TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER.
DATA: OKCODE type sy-ucomm.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT * FROM MARA INTO TABLE ITAB up to 100 rows.
CALL SCREEN 100.
*& Module STATUS_0100 OUTPUT
* text
MODULE STATUS_0100 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS '0100'.
SET TITLEBAR '0100'.
IF R_CONTROL IS INITIAL.
* Check whether the program is run in batch or foreground
    IF CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>OFFLINE( ) IS INITIAL.
* Run in foreground
      CREATE OBJECT R_CONTROL EXPORTING CONTAINER_NAME = 'CONTAINER_1'.
      CREATE OBJECT R_GRID EXPORTING I_PARENT = R_CONTROL.
    ELSE.
* Run in background
      CREATE OBJECT R_GRID EXPORTING I_PARENT = G_DOCK.
    ENDIF.
    CALL METHOD R_GRID->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
    EXPORTING
    I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'MARA'
    CHANGING
    IT_OUTTAB = ITAB.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE. " STATUS_0100 OUTPUT
*& Module USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT
* text
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT.
CASE OKCODE.
    WHEN 'BACK'.
      leave program.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE. " USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT

Data is missing in Even Page when report running in background (spool)

Hi
I have this weird problem in my report. The report would run in background convert the data in to PDF from spool and then email it to people.
Now when the PDF has more then 1 page the error occurs.
It drops the last row from the even page. The total at the end and every thing shows correctly. If there r more than 2 pages then on page 3 the last row is not dropped and its all fine but again on page 4 it drops one record and on page 5 again its working fine.
One thing is it also puts an extra line(horizontal line which is not in the code) on those pages where its unable to put the record and its always the last one on the even page. I also looked up the spool. Its doing it in the spool too. So i think its not the PDF converter its when the spool is getting created for some reason its droping the rows for the even pages...
Did any one else encountered some thing like this? please help.
Thanks

Save when the report run in BPC and pull&show LAST Rundate-BPC5.0

All,
We have one report on which we forecast positions and send data to BPC. Next time when we open report we also see the old forecast data and we never new data. I was wondering, is there a way I can save the "Report Run date in BPC when we send data using script/procedure and next time when user pulled up the report we can show the "last time ran" date? This way user knows when the last time he/she ran the report. Otherwise he/she has to keep manual track of run date.
Thanks.

Not sure what you are asking...
1) '' isn't the same thing as NULL. '' is an empty string.
2) The "0" simply set the format of the output string created by the ToText function.
When you use the ToText function the default output is to add a decimal followed by 2 places after the decimal...
For example:
IF {#DetailRTotal} = 22
The default of ToText({#DetailRTotal}) would be 22.00.
If you want to trim that down to just 22, you would change the formula to this...
ToText({#DetailRTotal}, "0")
The format is now set to display at least 1 whole number and no decimals.
In fact, if you want to clean up your formula... Re-write it like this...
RIGHT(ToText({#DetailRTotal}, "0000000"), 7)
This will force a 7 character minimum format in in the ToText function and the RIGHT(........, 7) will trim off any characters that exceed the 7 character limit.
So if {#DetailRTotal} = 22
RIGHT(ToText({#DetailRTotal}, "0000000"), 7) will yield 0000022
If {#DetailRTotal} = 123456789
RIGHT(ToText({#DetailRTotal}, "0000000"), 7) will yield 3456789

Downloading in excel from sqvi report format in the background

Dear All,
We have developed couple of report using SQVI format for couple of reports. Now for those reports my client wants to download them in excel sheet and attach to the email, when email is triggered automatically to the specified email id's. This is urgent issue which need to be given b this week end. Thanking everyone in advance for your replies.
Regards
V. Srinivasa Ranganath

Hi,
Get the report name in selection screen of SQVI, something like AQ30SYSTQV000002MARA==========.
Create a new job in SM36 with a step with this report
In this job add a SPOOL Destination with defined email or list of emails
When job is executed the spool will be automatically sent to the mailing list. If email attachments configuration is to generate an attachment in html format, that html can be saved from Outlook to local disk and opened in excel, as many html files.
If you want something more professional you'll need to create a program in ABAP that actually does the same as the SQVI but creates a file in excel format, using abap2xlsx probably, and then sends it to the distribution list.
Most excel functions in SAP requires the Excel in the frontend computer, so they cannot work in background or in the server side. abap2xlsx is useful in this cases.

Edgar
