MB51 scheduled in background - with result as 'Detailed list'???

Hi All.
I run MB51 (report RM07DOCS) with a predifined variant and get a list of material documents. Then GOTO> Detail list.
Is there a possibility to schedule RM07DOCS with a variant as a background job that would give detail list right away with a predifined layout.
thanks

Hi Brahmankar
thanks for your answer. The variant for program RM07DOCS already exist and it works fine. I get the output but then i need to go to 'Detail list' where i need to choose specific layout. Layout is not for a variant of RM07DOCS but for a 'Detail list'.
And our user want to get 'Detail list' as final result of the batch job
May be there is any any report that could give sum (by quantity & Loc. curr. amount) for a specific movement type/period of time.
thanks

Scheduling a program in background with after job condition

Hi experts,
Is there a way to schedule a background job wherein it will be run every after another job? I've tried defining it on sm36 > start condition> After job> I stated the job name >check start status dependent. But it only run once even if the job which it is dependent on is scheduled everyday.
Thank you in advance!

This is (or was) a well known issue, the option "after job" cannot be set to periodic. Theres lots of threads about this and several alternatives solutions.
Please search before posting

Can MC.9 be scheduled as background job?

Hi experts,
I would like to schedule MC.9 to run monthly. However, I find that no spool list is generated for the background job. I wonder if there is any way to make it to run in backgroud mode with result shown in spool. Or is there any similiar report which serves the same purpose?
Thanks in advance. Points will be awarded for useful answers.

If I am not wrong, Spool generation depends on your system settings. I am sure that I have executed all MC** reports and got the spool list. Chk your basis administrator for your system config.

How to schedule the background job daily twice?

Hi,
How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
Regards,
Srihitha

see the step by step procedure.
Scheduling Background Jobs:
1. Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
2. To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
company codes).
3. While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
a. Time of printing: set to Send to SAP spooler Only for now
b. Name abbreviated name to identify the job output
c. Title free form description for the report output
d. Authorization a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
e. Department set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f. Retention period set to Do not delete if the report output needs to be retained for more
than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
Configuring user access:
1. To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
2. To access a particular jobs output in the spool, the user must have
S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
3. Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
BASE access (display).
On-line reports:
1. Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
from R/3. If a user clicks Parameters button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
Scheduling background jobs section. Thus any output created by an online report
can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
(access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
attributes, see p. 3.d of Scheduling background jobs section).
Access to reports output:
1. A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
2. The selection screen can be configured by clicking Further selection
criteria button (e.g. to bring Spool request name (suffix 2) field or hide other
fields).
3. The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled jobs outputs)
a. Spool request name (suffix 2) corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
Scheduling background jobs section above).
b. Date created to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c. Title corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in Scheduling background jobs
section above).
d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in Scheduling
background jobs section above).
4. Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button to
retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
5. From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
Configuring user access)
a. Click the Print button to print the spool request with the default attributes
(usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
specified when a job was created.
b. Click the Print with changed attributed button to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c. Click the Display contents button to preview the spool request contents. A
Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode.

MB51 - report layout and detail list

We are running jobs with MB51 with a specific layout. when the report displays, we click the detail box to convert it to a one line report.
Is it possible t execute MB51 and have the detail list display - so this could be run in the background and the one line list display would be the spool file.
OR - Can I create a one line report with MAterial number oand vendor on each line with quantities, values etc.
thanks
Althea

I finally had a chance to look into this -
All report layouts are using a "header" line and a "Position" line
It is this Header and Position that are making it "not useful" as a download file at this level. As I said - if I click "details" - I get the report I'd really like to see for back ground process spool file or export file.
Any ideas how to create a report layout without the header and position line? or just no header line would work. When I try modifying an existing report - Material and Plant are always on the header line and not available on the position line.
Any and all help will be rewarded - thank you

CO88 settlement in background with spool error .

Dear SAP Experts ,
After settlement of Process orders through CO88 in background during our month end closure, in SPOOL request system result is showing message u201CProcessing completed with no errorsu201D
but in Processing cateogry ,the error are showing as 3 no's with out any error message.
How can i find the errors , or does it relates to technical errors. can any one help me to fix this .
Thanks
Partha

Hi,
In settlement, normally error messages are stored in the application log.
The variance calculation/CO88 creates multiple output lists (basic list, detail list, messages/error log). Other period end transactions too. However, SM37 only links one list to the job, usually the last one created. In order to view all created lists either use transaction SP01 or transaction SCMO. You will find the error log there.
An alternative for further analysis is as follows:
Instead of transaction CO88, use report RKO7CO88. Split the job in several smaller jobs. This can be done with the extended selection options for RKO7CO88, you can enter a range of orders here. Set also the processing option 'Check transaction data'.
If the smaller jobs run without cancellation, analyze the error messages and the result of the jobs

The last scheduled refresh failed. Click for details

Hi,
I have Discoverer scheduled results published in Portal via portlet.
The scheduled job is set to run everyday in Discoverer.
In Portal while publishing the results I set it up to refresh every day.
Though the discoverer scheduled job runs without any error I see in Portal the portlet is not refreshed.
It gives error "The last scheduled refresh failed. Click for details".
The details shows something like this
An error occurred while getting requested worksheet. BIB-10306 Object with name SWB:_LIBRARYEXECDIV_FORMAT/148142/1 could not be found.
or like
WWC-50003 - Object not found.
Cause:
The specified path to the given object does not exist.
Action:
Check that the path is valid. Path names are case-sensitive.
Can anyone help me with this
Thanks
Jay

Hi.
I don't know any real solutiion, but why don't you try to delete that potrlet and create a new one.
It's a simple and fast way and it will usually help in simmilar situations. Only if the new portlet also fails, it's a time for deeper investigation...

Scheduling one background job inside another

Hi All,
Is it possible to Scheduling one background job inside another.? i.e In my Z program I am calling job_open, job_submit, job_close and to execute one standard report in background. And after that I am executing my Z program itself from SE38 as Program->Execute->Background->Execute Immediately. Is this logically correct? I am asking this because I am not getting the desired result
Thanks & Regards,
Neethu.

HI,
Check the job steps in SM36.
First schedule the Standard job and in the job steps schedule the z report.

Scheduling a background job depending on the output lenght.

Hi every one,
I have a small requirement. My client want me to run a program in a foreground if the output is small and should the program in background if the output is large.This has to be achieved through coding. The program downloads the netprices of products. The downloaded file is of .dat format. It is an urgent requirement.
Guys you would throughly rewarded for your help.
Thanks,

Hi Nag
that is not possible with codeing. To create a schedule a background job for the same program depending on its output is not possible.
being a programmer you need to decide, how long the code will take to execute.. accordingly you can either schedule or run in foreground. You can make some mandatory fields in the selection screen, so that the output is big mostly.
see the sample code for the Job scheduling using the fun modules
IF p_bjob = 'X'.

How to schedule a background Job based on events

Hi,
We are on 4.6 C.
We have a background job that has two ABAP programs.
We need to start the 2nd ABAP program only after the first one has run successfully.
If the second ABAP program does not run, the the job should have a status "FINISHED".
Help appreciated.
Thanks
Mala

Hi,
How to schedule a background Job based on events,please refer to the follow SAP help:
You can use events that have already been defined, or you can create new events for scheduling background jobs.
If you wish to use new events, do the following to implement the event scheduling:
Define and transport the event as a user event with transaction SM62.
You must define only event IDs; event arguments are not defined in the R/3 System. Instead, you specify event arguments when you schedule a job to wait for an event and when you trigger the event.
If you define a new event, you must also transport it to your production systems. The event transaction does not have a connection to the transport system. Instead, you must create a transport request for the event yourself.
Do this to transport an event:
Create a transport request.
Start the editor in the transport request and enter the following:
R3TR TABU <table name> where table name is BTCSEV for a system event ID, BTCUEV for a user event ID.
Press F2 with the cursor on the table name to call up the screen for specifying the table entries to transport. In this screen, enter the event IDs that you have created.
Save and release the transport request. Ensure that it is imported into your production system(s).
To trigger an event, add:
the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE to your ABAP program, or
the program SAPEVT to your external script, batch file, or program.
When your programs execute these keywords, an event will be triggered in the R/3 background processing system. The event-based scheduler is started immediately. It in turn starts all jobs that were waiting upon the event, subject to normal background processing restrictions, such as the requirement that the job has been released to start.
Schedule the jobs that are to run when your events are triggered.
You can schedule jobs for one-time start or to be started whenever an event is triggered.

collysun

How to schedule the background job if report have Presentation server files

Hi All,
I have searched the forums and found , the way for the scheduling the background job if report selection screen have the presentation server file input.
1. Using the Open data set method.
And my client is not OK with Open dataset way, it there any other way to do this, As we are using the EXCEL file.
Thanks and Regards,
Bharani

Hi,
As said above it is generally not possible. Since your client most obviously doesn't like graphical background I would recomend storing data as till now, but show it with your own report in more userfriendly way. For example:
- as ALV Grid
- in excel with use of OLE either as embedded in SAP or new window (check transaction OLE for example)
- with use of webdynpro

How to schedule a background job using the Event concept..?

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement that, I need a schedule a background job.
Once after the previous job successful only, new job should get triggered. How to go ahead with this..?
For Eg, I am scheduling a job called ZTEST periodically for 1 minute. If the job is not get completing with in 1 minute, I dont want to start my new job. Only after the success of my old job, I want my new job to run.

How to Schedule SAP background job at OS Level

Hi All,
Can Anyone tell me how to Schedule SAP background job at OS Level (unix).
Regards,
Anil

Hi Anil,
I donu2019t know your requirements, anyway itu2019s possible to setup your SAP job in order to start after an event, and after that you can get the event triggered from the Operating System in the following way:
- log into you Operating System with the SIDadm user id (at the Operating System level) and go to directory /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run
- Run the SAPEVT executable as follows:
sapevt YOUR_EVENT -t pf=/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/DEV_DVEBMGS00_server001 nr=01
This will raise the event, and cause the job scheduled within SAP to execute.
You can periodically execute this job with crontab.

How to schedule a background job in realtime

Hi,
Can you tell me how to schedule a background job in realtime.
give some example scenerios in scheduling the background jobs in realtime.
Thanks.
sam.

And also.....
There are two ways for you to handle,
one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
Find below steps in doing both:
Procedure 1:
1. Goto Trans -> SM36
2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
6. Next click on Period Values
7. Select "Other Period"
8. Now give '15' for Minutes
9. Save the job
Procedure 2 via Program:
Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.
DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
JOBNAME = 'ZTEMP2'
