Macro issue while running in the background

Hello All,
<b>Case 1:</b> Selection of aggregation level (only 9AMATNR)
When we run a Macro in the background (with an aggregation level of only 9AMATNR), the results for the Macro are looking good at the product level (for e.g. product for all locations, regions, states)
But after running the Macro in the background and when we are in interactive planning and choosing a selection (E.g. product@location) gives inconsistent results.
If we directly run the macro in the interactive planning at detail level (E.g. product@location) gives correct value
<b>Case 2:</b> (Selection of aggregation level (9AMATNR, 9ALOCNO, ZLSDMA, ZLSSTATE, ZLSREG)
But the macro results are inconsistent through out when we select the aggregation level (9ALOCNO, ZLSDMA, ZLSREG, ZLSSTATE) and run the Macro in the background.
I have already gone through the note 412429 and it is not helping me. Can someone please give some suggestions and thier thoughts.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Srinivas,
Thanks for your response and I understood your logic, but in either case 1 or case 2, can we do something related to key figures (Aggregation/Disaggregation), so that though I run the Macro in background at product level, I can drill down to detail other levels with consistent results.

Probelm in report while running in the background

Hi all,
Iam displaying around 20 fields in in report display. when i execute in the fore ground it is displaying all fields perfectly. but when i run it int he back ground and down load to Excel file its displaying 5 fields only.(And these 20 fields are much longer fields. all columns may occupie around 200 chars. in the outut list)
pls let me know wut will be the problem?
( the length of the SPOOL screen may be smaller than report output list i think.)

Hi,
If you are running transaction in Background it is not possible to get list more than 255 char.
So better option is download that data in file. But for this use dataset as upload, download function does not work in Background mode. In background mode it is not possible to upload and download file from presentation server.
this is possible in case u have file on Application server. So, for this you have to use DATASET.
thanks

HT1365 Hi can anyone help with this issue regarding my wireless magic mouse? When im on google chrome and scrolling down the page i always have youtube running in the background but the audio cuts/spits/pops can anyone help me with this?

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

I have a flash game I want to run in the background while surfing other tabs. When I change tabs the game automatically pauses. How can I stop this.

Is this a flash issue or can I force this game to run in the background somehow.

Does this also happen if you run that game in another window?
You can tear off a tab to a new window by slightly dragging the tab down in the browser area.

LabVIEW closes while VI's are still running in the background

I have created a large application that is split between VB 6 and LV 6.1. The LabVIEW portion runs in the background, except that the VB portion can request that a LabVIEW user interface be presented on demand. Any time after this LabVIEW user interface has been opened and closed, opening and closing another application (or even just hiding a top-level window in another application) will cause LabVIEW to close, taking my background processing with it.
If the LabVIEW code is running as source code, LabVIEW prompts me before closing. However, when the LabVIEW code is running as an executable (.exe), the executable closes without prompting in this circumstance.
The scenario can be reproduced with a standard LabVIEW sample program. Proceed as follows:
1) Open VBToLV.vbp (the example program distributed with LabVIEW 6.1).
2) Start the VB program running.
3) Press the Launch LabVIEW button on the user interface of the VB program.
4) Enter an expression in the text box provided.
5) Select Display VI Front Panel.
6) Press the Run VI button.
7) Close the VI front panel by clicking its "X" button.
8) Open any handy application, such as Windows Explorer or Notepad.
9) Close this most-recently-opened program.
10) The LabVIEW Exit screen appears.
11) Exit LabVIEW.
12) Press the Run VI button.
13) An error occurs because LabVIEW has closed.
If the LabVIEW code had been built into an executable and called accordingly, there would have been no LabVIEW exit screen. The executable would have just exited silently.
This is not the way a COM server is supposed to behave. The VB program is still holding a valid reference to the server and it should remain open.
It appears that LabVIEW is monitoring the total number of top-level windows that are open. I suppose that this is how LabVIEW figures out when its own FP windows have been closed. In this case, it doesn't notice that all of its windows have been closed until some other window closes.
I have a work-around, but it's ugly.

Hi,
Perhaps you use references to windows in LabVIEW. If you get those
references with a full path (e.g. c:\code\subvis\vi1.vi), this will work
while in LabVIEW environment. But when an application is build, this will
fail, because the vi is no longer there. Try using the name in a string
instead (the OpenVIReference is polymorphic) with only the name of the vi in
it (e.g. vi1.vi).
There are some other isues that change when building an application. Most of
them are paths that change, and references that fail to open because of
them.
Regards,
Wiebe.

Capture keystrokes while VI running in the background.

Hi
I have a VI that needs to run in the background, however I need it to be able to recognize a certain string when typed in on the keyboard, actually it's a barcode reader - same difference. I have tried to use the keyboard.zip file from the ftp site however the VI's don't seem to work unless they are in focus. How do I do this with the program running in the background??
Thanks

Jacob,
Get the VI called Get Keys.vi (or something alike) from our online (free)
library, www.air.nl. Maybe it needs some small modifications, but it should
do the job.
However, barcode scanners are not exactly the same as user input. In theory,
yes, in practice, no. Problem is they are very fast. So, you have to scan
the keyboard very fast. Probably too fast (e.g. it's not possible to obtain
all characters from the scanner).
Fortunatlly barcode scanners often have possibilities to add a delay between
characters. Set to a delay of 50 ms (or experiment, until perfect..) and it
should work.
The VI gets keys even if another application is active.

Wiebe Walstra.

Thank you for your fast reply. However as far as I could get it to
work it still required me to have a VI in focus. The program running
in front is not a Labview VI so I'm still stuck any other suggestions?

Do apps running in the background drain battery, slow down performance, or use cellular data?

I have heard that if you don't kill the apps running in the background, they will drain your battery, slow your other apps down, and could be using your data without any warning. I've looked all over the place for a definitive answer to this, but different people and websites provide conflicting responses and I haven't found any useful information regarding this issue directly from Apple. If anyone knows whether or not having apps constantly running in the background is harmful in anyway (and has a credible resource to back up their claim) let me know and provide a link to the answer if possible.

What do you mean 'running in the background'? Something that is 'running' will definitely use battery, nothing runs on air or whatever. If an app uses data while it's 'running' then it will use data. Why do you need a link, it's common sense isn't it? Slow the phone down? That I can't say definitively, but it stands to reason that it will.

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.

Hi Andi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have waited for a while and the result doesn't change.
The Porblem here is the application is seen started in visual administrator.Only restart brings up the page back.
Can you please suggest anything.
Thanks and regards

Can a java program be run in the background?

Hi all,
Can a java program be run in the background without the user being aware of it? I need to make a program that continuosly monitors a pc at regular intervals and runs at all time. It should be hidden(shouldn't display on the screen while running) from the user, and also, can it be run as a system file so that even if a user checks he/she would think of it as a system file?

I'm the administrator of all the computers. Then as I said there are commercial applications that do that.
Presumably you expect a problem now. And implementing an acceptable solution is going to take you months. Because not only need to 'hide' the application, you also need to set up all the monitoring and logging capability. And the first will require quite a bit of JNI work along with testing (in particular as it could interfer with existing applications on the users computers.)
I need to
install the software in all the machines and i want
that the users who use the machine should not be able
to close the program through the task manager. If the users have admin rights then they can terminate a windows service.
And if they don't have admin rights then you can simply turn off the ability to install anything.
I want
to know what the resources of the computers are and
that if anyone has added a resource to it or
not(attaching a flash usb thumbdrive etc). Lots of JNI.

SAFARI: running in the background:

When I access a website there is an automatic refresh of the content. When I open a different webpage with Safari, then the automatic refresh on the first page stopps! How can I have a webpage be refreshed in background?
Does Safari download content when it is minimized / not visible?
When I go back to the first page, then the automatic refresh is not there any more. The function has been de-activated by Safari on Ipad. (On a Firefox on windows there is no such problem). How can I get the same webpage behaviour than before. (I know that reloading the page does the job. But this should be automatic and not from the user)

The ipad like a lot of other mobile devices use a type of multitasking that differs from multitasking you would find on Mac OS X, Windows or Linux. Apple chooses to put most background apps on iOS devices in a suspended mode which allows the application to be paused in the background and then respond quickly when brought to the foreground. Some application functions can continue to run in the background.
Features that are allowed to run in the background are music, location services, airplay, VoIP, push notifications, but it is still up to the developers to make use of this functionality.
I don't believe Safari is one of the applications that will continue to run in the background.
Why does Apple choose to do this? Short answer: Battery life and performance. If app developers were allowed to choose whether or not to have their application to run in the background, bad programmers would quickly kill the performance and battery on the iOS device.
Some devices such as andriod phones and the blackberry playbook allow broader multi-tasking. The trade off? Andriod phones have task killers, which forces the user to manage their performance and battery life. The playbook comes shipped with a default of using suspended multi-tasking on vs. full multi-tasking - since full multi-tasking would again affect performance and battery life.
I agree it would be nice if webpages continued to load if Safari is in the background, and maybe this will be added / enabled in the future. I think Apples design provides a better user experience and still allows most of the functions to run in the background that need to. (I don't need a movie to play in the background or game).
My guess would be Safari doesn't allow background use right not because of issues like auto-refresh pages, which again would affect performance and battery.

Midlet running in the background

Hello!
I am wondering if it is possible to create a java program that runs in the background on a mobile phone. I.E can it run without beeing interuppted by a call or the locking of the key pad.
Is it possible to let the program run without interfering with the normal functionallity of the phone?

Hi
To make a midlet run in the background you have to do as mentioned:
Display display = Display.getDisplay(this);
display.setCurrent(null);
This will make the midlet run in background while you can continue working with other midlets. This strategy was tested with J2MEWTK 2.5 & Black Berry.
Thanks
