JOB_OPEN and JOB_SUBMIT

could anybody tell me how to writ the code for scheduling the background job by using function modules JOB_OPEN and JOB_SUBMIT in my report program.
this is not BDC program..it is just a normal report.
Cheers & Thanks

Use JOB_OPEN to indicate you want to create a background job. Use
JOB_INSERT to define the steps in your background job and JOB_CLOSE to
indicate that you have completed your definition of it.
The parameters of these functions mimic the input requirements from
SE37. If you look at their definition in SE11 the vast majority of these
parameters are self-explanatory.
Kind Regards

Hi,
Here is the sample program
*Submit report as job(i.e. in background)
data: jobname like tbtcjob-jobname value
                             ' TRANSFER TRANSLATION'.
data: jobcount like tbtcjob-jobcount,
      host like msxxlist-host.
data: begin of starttime.
        include structure tbtcstrt.
data: end of starttime.
data: starttimeimmediate like btch0000-char1.

How can I erase a job in SM35 using the job_open and job_close functions?

Hi!
I call and execute a job in the SM35 transaction with the functions below, but how can I erase the job from SM35. Because when the functions are executed in the JOB_CLOSE the variable jobrele return me an 'X' that means that the job is executed but I see that the job is not erased from the transaction.
Thanks for the help.

Running a ALV Report in bakcground and sending it to Email/FAX

Hi,
I am designing a ALV report to send a email/fax/Printer which has to be run in background or foreground according to selection screen inputs.
I am doing the following
1. After generating ALV report, converting it to pdf
2. Sending Email or Fax or Print from selection screen value.
3. after that scheduling in background using JOB_OPEN and JOB_SUBMIT FM's.
Can I use SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 FM for both Email and Fax.
When I schedule the report in the background using JOB_OPEN, at which point I have to code it inside the report. Is it after I generate the ALV Report and Email sending code or before it..
Thanks

Hi
How did you end up doing the emailing? I have the same task.....

A question about Job Creation

Hi Expert,
By JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE, we can schedule a job.
When the first two FMs is executed, the job is still in 'scheduled' status. Only when the FM JOB_CLOSE is executed, the job will be in 'released' status.
In my applicaiton, I need to check the job status. If the job is in 'scheduled' status, I think that the job creation is not successsful; Otherwise, the job creation is successful.
But the issue is, if job is in 'scheduled' status, how can I know whether all three FMs is executed in the job creation or only JOB_OPEN and JOB_SUBMIT are executed while JOB_CLOSE still not starts?
In the later case, the applicaiton should wait some time and check the job later.
Thanks for your support
Best Regards, Johnney.

Hi,
Suppose there two APIs.
In API1, there are four steps:
1. call FM JOB_OPEN
2. call FM JOB_SUBMIT
3. Save the Jobname and Jobcount in the DB
4. CAll JOB_CLOSE
in API2, there are two steps:
1. get the Jobname and Jobcount from the DB
2. Call FM BP_JOBLIST_STATUS_GET to get the job status.
API1 and API2 are executed asynchronically. Consider the following case:
After STEP3 is executed(STEP4 has not yet been started), the API2 starts to run. Now the job status that API2 get is 'Scheduled'.
This is not correct, because the job creation is still not finished. The API2 should wait some time and check later.
So my question, is how API2 know that the job creation is not finished.
Thanks & Best Regards, Johnney.

Force Background processing with SUBMIT and keeping results in memory

Hi Everyone
I have a very tricky issue that i need some help with.
I have a developed an RFC that allows a NON-SAP front-end to execute reports in the SAP backend the result of the report is saved in memory and formatted to XML and passed to the front-end where the report is displayed.
Therefore for this to work i have added the following code
g_guid = cl_salv_export_db_storage=>create_guid( ).
" Set ALV memory parameters
export l_mode = 'M' to memory id 'ALV_EXTRACT_MODE'.
export l_guid = g_guid to memory id 'ALV_EXTRACT_GUID'.
"Execute the selected report
SUBMIT (wlv_report_name)
                     USING SELECTION-SET wlv_variant_name
                     WITH PNPTIMED EQ ' '
                     WITH PNPBEGDA EQ im_begda
                     WITH PNPENDDA EQ im_endda
                     WITH PNPPERNR IN wlr_employee
                     AND RETURN.
data: l_xstring type xstring.
            l_xstring = cl_salv_export_db_storage=>import_xmlstring(
                guid = g_guid ).
This allows me to get the report results to be passed to the front-end.
This works quite good for most reports but in some cases the reports has a popup message. In this case the execution fails as the report is not executed as a background job (if the report is executed in the background then the popups are ignored).
The issue is that the reports cannot be executed in the background as the memory will then not contain the report results and secondly the client does not want to use the spool for the report results at all. The second constraint is that the client does not want to alter the reports in any form to remove the popups due to the large volumes of reports.
What i have noted is that if the report is executed and i set the SY-BATCH parameter to "X" then it works perfectly (via the debugger). I can change the SY-BATCH value in my code but obviously once the SUBMIT is executed the SY parameters are reset.
My question is: Is there a way to force the SY parameter values when i perform a SUBMIT? Or is there any other possible solution to this issue?

If you want to go with the option of spool, then you can use the following addition
SUBMIT <reportname> to SAP-SPOOL
SPOOL PARAMETERS <print_parameters>
WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO and RETURN.
and then read the spool,
if you want to go with the option of a background job, then you can use the following addition
SUBMIT <reportname> VIA JOB <name> NUMBER <num> AND RETURN.
<name> and <num> are generated using FM JOB_OPEN, and then you have to close it using JOB_CLOSE.
Thanks.

You can certainly open the first OMF which will load into a session and as I recall you can then 'import' another OMF but that will only add the embedded audio files into the list of media files in the "Files" panel.
I haven't tried it but you could probably continue doing that with each of the other OMFs but if the media is AIF (and it is a good chance) then there probably won't be any BWF data to place the audio correctly on the timeline.
If you try to do the same in PT (and I'm no PT expert) PT will ask you to save the existing session and open the selected OMF - I could be wrong but not sure how that will happen in PT
I see the simplest solution as creating a 'reference' (ie not an embedded) OMF - then you can just send the OMF plus the media to whoever you need to without a 2gb restriction
Failing that you could (and I haven't tried this for a long time) you could import the OMFs into separate sesx sessions and then use AATranslator to append them into a single session - a bit of mucking around but achievable
My advice is to go with the reference OMF

Any way to find out which program has created a job using 'JOB_OPEN'?

Hi,
I have some jobs created by some program. The job is incomplete, i.e., the programs which created the job just used 'JOB_OPEN' and it doesn't have any steps.
Is there any way to find out which program created that incomplete job?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure but try this FM
BP_JOB_SELECT -Returns a table with job(s) details .

Background Job and Screen

Hi,
I've created a selection screen by using se51. In my program I call this screen with "CALL SCREEN XXX'.
My question is: How to run this report in Backgroung.
As it's not a standart selection screen (1000) I don't have the option to run it in background.....
Thank for your help.
Joseph

Hi
I think you should insert the part in START-OF-SELECTION in a new program and so run it in background using FM JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE to schedule the job:
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
     JOBNAME = SY-REPID
IMPORTING
     JOBCOUNT = TBTCJOB-JOBCOUN.
SUBMIT <ZREPORT> USER SY-UNAME
                 VIA JOB SY-REPID NUMBER TBTCJOB-JOBCOUN.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
mAX

Submit in background

Is there any program to submit in background, ALV report?
I tried in job_open and job_close, but nto worked out.

Hi,
You need to use the following function modules:
- JOB_CREATE - create the job
- JOB_SUBMIT - add a step in the job
- JOB_CLOSE - to pass the job to the background processing subsystem
Alternatively, you can use SUBMIT... VIA JOB, which is easier but gives you less control.

Schedule Jobs with multiple steps via ABAP Program

Hi,
I need to schedule multiple programs via background jobs on a daily basis. Since all these jobs are to be run as a single job, the various programs have to be run as steps in a major job.
I am however not very clear on how this can be done via an ABAP program ( the idea of a program is that various parameters to be passed to each program in the step can be entered dynamically rather than via variants).
I am using the JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE functions and submitting the programs with selection screen parameters dynamically passed to create a job. I need to do this for various programs as a job step (WITHOUT Variants being defined).
Can anyone suggest any ideas for this? I have tried out JOB_SUBMIT Function but am not very confident I know what exactly it is for as it asks for a variant.
Thanks very much,
Preet

Hi Preet,
just to be sure: you know, that variants can be dynamical, too?
It's quite usual to assign dynamical current date, but it's also possible to add / subtract value and even define own functionality.
Maybe it's easier to implement a dynamical selection and handle static jobs.
If you try to plan a job (online or with JOB_SUBMIT), you have to use variants - you can create (or change) them dynamical in beforehand. Only SE38, F8, F9 is creating a temporary variant, so that no saved variant is necessary.
But if you end up creating variants dynamical, you can change one existing variant, too. Then you can use a static job definition (with periodical starting rule).
So: have a look, if dynamic variants are enough, otherwise change variants per job.
Regards,
Christian
