MDMGX download to ports as background job without FTP?

Hello everybody,
is it possible to use MDMGX as a background job to download directly into the mdm ports without FTP?
If I try to download as a local download (in background job) I get the error message: "Cannot open dataset for batch download of file: No such file or directory. Message no. MDM_GX_MSG031"
Any advice?
Regards,
Axel

Hello Alex,
As said in the above post MDMGX is used to extract the reference data from ECC. This data can be extracted to the local system as well. You need to specify the FTP server and MDM Root of the system on which the MDM server is Installed, by doing so the data extracted will be placed in the respective folders created under the given root in MDM. PI is not required for this since the output is in the required XML format

Scheduling Background job without any authorization

Hi All,
Here is my requirement.End user will save a material and at the time of SAVE , background job has to be scheduled to run a process.
End user will not have any authorization to schedule the job in background. Is there any way to bypass the AUTHORITY-CHECK of the program. Client will not provide authorization for the end user to schedule job in background.
I thought of giving a user name in the program like below, the user "BATCHUSER" has all the authorization to schedule a job in background. But program fails to by pass the AUTHORITY-CHECK , is there any other way to by pass AUTHORITY-CHECK .
Here is my code.
JOB_OPEN.
SUBMIT 'XXX' USER 'BATCHUSER' VIA JOB v_name NUMBER v_number AND RETURN.
JOB_CLOSE.
Please help me ....

Hi,
workflow could be an option. Either transfering the logic into the workflow at all or you can just plan the job in a background step of the workflow. As WF-Batch is runnung with SAP_ALL authorization shouldn't be an issue.
Depending on what application you are in, there could already be a wf-event on save so development effort could be quite low.

Thank you in anticipation.

What is the difference between background job and foreground job

Hi Experts,
Could you pls tell me
What is the difference between background job and foreground job
and where exactly used background jobs...
Thanks

Hello,
Background jobs - without user interaction, scheduled via SM37.
Foreground jobs - with user interaction (transactions).
For more information, please read these: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e4/2adbda449911d1949c0000e8353423/frameset.htm], [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/73/69ef5755bb11d189680000e829fbbd/frameset.htm] and [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20cb0b44-8f0b-2a10-2381-ca8162bcb5b2].

Without FTP how do I download my site?

I have been traveling for a while and was a bit surprised to find that FTP is no longer available with Verizon. Since it is past their kill date does anyone have a recommendation on how I can download a copy of my pages without FTP? Have they implemented Secure FTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)? Do I need to download each page and associated media manually? Any advice would be appreciated.
Derek

The short answer is you cannot download your site to Verizon Personal Web Space any longer. If you cannot build it with sitebuilder (and I will refrain from commenting about the qualities (or lack thereof) of Sitebuilder, you are out of luck..
If you want to have a site, my advice is to either use some of the advertiser supported hosting companies, or spend the $50 or so per year for a real web site from a company like Godaddy. (www.godaddy.com).
Verizon is apparently concerned the FTP is insecure, but apparently the insecurity is just fine as long as you are a commercial customer paying Verizon for Web hosting services.
If you don't like the answer, I suggest you write, don't call, Verizon's CEO and tell him so. I did.

Background job downloading missing some rows in sm37

Hi,
I am downloading background job output through spool request in excel format. Out of 2000 records some 50 records in the middle are not displayed.But those 50 records are there in the spool output.
When downloaded in text format means all 2000 records are downloaded correctly..
Give me a solution please...
Thanks and Regards,
Jenifer

Jenifer,
When you download a spool in "Spreadsheet", SAP really downloads the data in tab delimited text format, even thought the file extension is .XLS.
So, just open the Excel file in notepad (or any other text editor) and see if the missing rows are present. If there are, then you have to figure out how to import the file properly into Excel file without losing the rows.

Why the background job for downloading file failed?

I have a background job for downloading file with logical path.
with
'OPEN DATASET l_out_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT';
Now, the program can be run in foreground;but when it running on background, it shows 'open file error'.
I do not know what happen?
Please help ~~

Hi,
The logical path you have provided might be incorrect or you might not have the necessary authorization to read/write on that folder.
Please check the folder in transaction AL11 & check whether you have the authorization to read/write. BASIS consultant would be able to tell you about it.
Best regards,

Background job to download standard ALV reports

Hi,
Could anyone knows how to download an standard ALV report in a background job?
In a job I made, some ALV reports were precessed and made, and their spools were made,
but not downloaded.
Regerds,
Katsumi Makabe

hi,
I think you can have a network shared folder on application server.
you said that it is a comma separated file.
1) Using TCODE CG3Z, upload the flat file to application server , remember to copy the path (it contains file path aswellas name).
2) Using DATASET read the filepath along with the name and read each line into workarea and split at ',' into fields.
3) Then append those fields to internal table.
using the FMs job_open, job_submit and job_close you can go for background scheduling.
Please go through the following link for sample code on FTP.

Reward points if helpful.

Download ALV result list as excel-file in background job

Dear Experts,
I am looking for a possibily to download the result of an ALV based report as excel-file in a background job. Surely there is a standard function which can be used or at least some hints how to implement this. I searched the forum but couldn't find a thread which was covering this problem exactly.
Thanks in advance
Benjamin

Dear Mr. Krapf,
it is possible to output an ALV list to an Excel file in the background but there are some limitations.
Please consider the following notes:
#7925 Graphics, Upload, Download do not work in backgrnd
#65050 Data types and file formats in files (DATASET)
#145073 - FAQ Report Writer: Excel download
#569537 - Incorrect data during import into Excel
#590126 Sending CSV documents up to Release 4.6
Please be aware that they are all Basis notes. So for more information you might ask in the Basis SDN Forum.
Best regards, Christin Angus

Background job with download

Hi
Is it possible to set a program , that contains the download , in background?
If so, how?
Thank U
Narendra

hi,
You cannot download to the frontend in a background job because the GUI isn't available.
You will have to use OPEN DATASET stmts and
put the file on the Application server in the background
and then use the transaction CG3Y in the foreground to download the file to the pc from the application server.

priya.
