Merge Excel cells when creating file for Background job

Hi Experts
I need to create an Excel document and within the excel sheet merge some cells, I can get that done via OLE.
My problem though comes in with... the Report needs to be scheduled as a background job and therefore OLE does not work!!!
Does any of you have another solution to merge cells while running in background??
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Hi Vic,
You can use the xml transformations for formatting excel. For my case I needed multiple sheets including glossary sheet to be mailed in a particular format , which was achieved by using transformations.
       CALL TRANSFORMATION z_xls_xxx
            SOURCE table = i_tmp_b[]
            RESULT XML wa_xmlstr.
        TRY.
            cl_bcs_convert=>string_to_solix(
               EXPORTING
                 iv_string   = wa_xmlstr
               iv_codepage = '4103' "suitable for MS Excel, leave empty
                 iv_add_bom = 'X'     "for other doc types
               IMPORTING
                 et_solix = l_bin
                 ev_size   = l_size ).
          CATCH cx_bcs.
            MESSAGE e445(so).
        ENDTRY.

Hello Anthes,
Please Check the things in following sequence :
1.Use latest SAPehpi, R3trans and tp versions.
2. users/group authorization issue and/or ownersip limitations (set 777) .Reboot the server to make sure, that the authorisations are updated and there is no lock on a file in the EHPI dir.Repeat the phase.
Folders where permissions should be 777 are Upgrade directory, Data Directory, Cofile directory and .../EPS/in.
3. Source file corruption can be ruled out by execution
R3trans -l /usr/sap/<SID>/..../abap/data/R-700BGINPLMWUI.SAP (The data file corresponding to the Package which is giving error). Check if this ends fine.
Note 2050
4. Confirm that your transport tool is 'healthy' by testing it in STMS. In SPAM in client 000 use the function Disassemble package and enter the package <Package name>.
5. Try to update the kernel if it not helps.

Export of report/query to a file for background job runs

I have a requirement to automate the export of a report or query to a file so when a background job runs a new file is generated to the drive.
This cannot be a customized solution for 1 report, it must be able to adapt to other reports or queries as well.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi,
SAP have created a standard program RSTXPDFT4 to convert your Sapscripts spools into a PDF format.
Specify the spool number and you will be able to download the sapscripts spool into your local harddisk.
It look exactly like what you see during a spool display.
Please note that it is not restricted to sapsciprts spool only. Any reports in the spool can be converted using the program 'RSTXPDFT4'.

Create spool for background jobs which uses submit statement

Hi Gurus,
             I have a quick question regarding the backgroud jobs. When we run a program in the background , it should create a spool for us, but, the problem comes when I am running a program in the background, its not creating the spool. This program uses SUBMIT statement. This program collects the data and it will submit to the other program and then retuen. In this case, its not creating a spool. Its very important for us to look at the spool for this program. Does anybody cam across this kind of problem? I need ur inputs.
Thanks in advance, <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

[solved] Thunar doesn't respect umask when creating files/folders

Having this permissions:
$ umask
0007
When creating files / dirs in a terminal the new ones will get the correct permissions. However when doing the same in Thunar (checked with pcmanfm, too) the files / dirs get different permissions:
-rw-rw---- 1 nap users 0 Jun 30 16:31 new2 - cli
-rw-r--r-- 1 nap users 0 Jun 30 16:31 New Empty File - thunar
drwxrwx--- 2 nap users 4,0K Jun 30 16:32 dir-cli
drwxr-xr-x 2 nap users 4,0K Jun 30 16:32 dir-thunar
Shouldn't applications respect the user's umask settings? Is it a bug or a feature?
Last edited by siriusb (2012-07-01 10:12:23)

Thanks, very useful link.
Now I understand why it works this way. However I'm wondering whether putting umask to ~/.xprofile would work.
Or in .xinitrc before the line that starts WM. I'll try.
Update:
Gcool thanks again.
Putting umask into xprofile works exactly as I need it to work!

Error when creating interval for number range object

Hi,
I am trying to transport my BW stuff from QA to Production and I am getting the following error in the transport logs. The info objects are inactive in RSA1.
Start of the after-import method RS_IOBJ_AFTER_IMPORT for object type(s) IOBJ (Activation Mode)
Characteristic YRESD: Error when creating interval for number range object BIM0000396
Can some body advise me what's wrong? Is something need to be maintained in number ranges?
Also when I am checking the objects in RSA1, I am getting a message saying "source system WD110 does not exist", WD110 is our dev system. How can I change the source system after transport?
Thanks.

2) schedule the update job ( with the update program in its step ) trigging the event set in (1) .
3) execute the program that upload the local file from presentation server to application server . The last istruction of this program has to be the call ot the custom event using BP_event raise fn module in the uplaoad is ok..

Regarding Variants for Background jobs

Hi Folks
Can you please let me know the procedure how we can create the variants for Background jobs.
Points are assured for correct answers.
Regards,
kumar

Hi Sree Ram,
Check this info.
If you have any selection screen parameters for your program you need to enter the values for those fields in runtime. So, if you schedule your program in background to execute then there is no one to do this job. Here comes the concept of Variant.
With variant you define what are the selection field values in the runtime. During runtime the program picks this values and runs the program.
When you execute your program which has selection fields, you enter the values and then you click on 'GO TO ' tab and 'SAVE AS VARIANT'.
When you schedule your program in background, give this variant also. Then it will run automatically.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.
Regards

Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job

Hi,
Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job.
strange, isn't it ?

I want to have openbox in the job list of a bash. as if my xinitrc was "exec xterm" and I manualy enter the "openbox &" commande in the xterm window. I suppose this is a common wish : telling bash to read from file then from keyboard, but that not exactly what bashrc do.
"ps j" for openbox started in bashrc
PPID PID PGID SID TTY TPGID STAT UID TIME COMMAND
1769 1773 1773 845 pts/0 1752 S 1000 0:00 xterm -e bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh
1 1780 1773 845 pts/0 1752 S 1000 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
1773 1783 1783 1783 pts/2 1805 Ss 1000 0:00 bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh
1783 1795 1783 1783 pts/2 1805 S 1000 0:00 /usr/bin/openbox --startup /usr/lib/openbox/openbox-autostart OPENBOX
1783 1805 1805 1783 pts/2 1805 R+ 1000 0:00 ps j
"ps j" for openbox started by keyboard or PROMPT_COMMAND
1718 1722 1722 845 pts/0 1701 S 1000 0:00 xterm -title Login -e bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh
1 1729 1722 845 pts/0 1701 S 1000 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
1722 1732 1732 1732 pts/2 1747 Ss 1000 0:00 bash --rcfile ~/bin/xsession.sh
1732 1744 1744 1732 pts/2 1747 S 1000 0:00 openbox
1732 1747 1747 1732 pts/2 1747 R+ 1000 0:00 ps j
ps have PGID equal to the bash TPGID, so it is foreground. openbox from PROMPT_COMMAND have his own PGID, so it is background. openbox from bashrc share PGID wish bash ... so if bash do not consume Ctrl-c signal openbox receive it ? I assume it is some things like this, but why ? INVOCATION and JOB CONTROL sections in bash manpage do not seems describe this, so that's a strange behaviour.

Date and time for background job

Hi,
I am creating a program with out selection screen . This program runs based on date and time . so I need to create a table
with date and time fileds.
Program runs based on FROM DATE FROM TIME TO DATE TO TIME....... FROM DATE and FROM TIME will get it from ztable and TO DATE & TO TIME values as SY-DATUM & SY-UZEIT. In the end I will update sy-datum and sy-uzeit values in the custom table to get the values ( Use it for from date from time ) for next run of the program.
This program is mainly used for background job so how do we get the values of from date and from time for the first run of the program ? how do we update the latest date and time details by deleting old date and time details.
Thanks ,
Vinay.
Edited by: Vinay parakala on Apr 22, 2010 9:18 AM

First of all, I'll suggest to maintain TVARVC instead of doing it in custom table unless you need a complete log.
As per my understanding, you are trying to fetch some records based on the time period(Delta loads).
So, you will do an initial run to load the complete data then you will run it for time periods. For example,
1st Load- 01/01/1991(earliest date possible) - today's date say 03/22/2010
2nd load- 03/22/2010 - today's date
so on............
You have to move the to date values to from date values and to date value needs to be updated by the latest one for each load.
Do you have any dependency on background job? Please let me know if my understanding is correct or specify your requirement in detail.
