No background processing active on TargetServr BWTCLNT400

Hi There
I am currently working on a landscape where we have had a copy-back on our CRM system, plus the BW system was moved onto new hardware etc etc. the net result is that I am having a nightmare re-establishing the comminications CRM --> BW (which is now sorted) but especially BW --> BW.
I have sorted out all the usual stuff (SM59, WE20, WE21 etc etc) but when I run an update from an DSO in BW to another InfoProvider using the 3.x data flows, I get the following error in SM21:
BP_JOB_MODIFY: Job cannot be modified. Reason:
> Job BIREQU_62ZSSTFTQ5AI5RW1Y429235SE contains invalid data
BP_JOB_MODIFY: Job cannot be modified. Reason:
> No background processing active on TargetServr BWTCLNT400
I suspect this has definitely something to do with me trying to sort out the process chains and de-scheduling the background job for BI_PROCESS_LOADING on the BW system.
When I try to re-shedule this job using SM37, where you define a step for the ABAP Program RSPROCESS the system insist that I should enter a variant (which does not exist). So obviously I am being a muppet.
Does anybody know how I can re-start the Background Processing (I suspect there is a program that needs to be run or something)?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Cheers - Daneel

Hi
I m facing the same error .. please check this note 147104 might be helpful in your issue..
check the entry in table ROIDOCPRMS for target system.. for the current source system.

Background Process trace activation

Hello,
It seems that every couple days (I am trying to determine if there is a pattern still) a trace is activated for at least two (sometimes three) Background processes on our SAP 4.7 central instance server (HP-UX 11 / Oracle 9.4.0.2 DB). I am trying to figure out if this is activated manually by someone trying to fix a problem, or if it is part of a background job that is run. Is there a manner in which I can make this determination, or at least figure out which job is activating the trace? System performance is not affected, outside of the fact that the directory for trace files fills up & has to be cleared out.
Thanks in advance for your input in this matter.

Hi,
One can set the trace for a particular Work process using the Tcode ST12 only. So you should check in ST12 for details that who has run the last Trace in the system.
Otherwise check also Tcode ST01 and ST05 also so that you can also come to know all who has run all kind of traces in the system.
With Regards,
Saurabh

SAP BI 7 - Background process performance Issue

This question is about efficiency of dialog process compared to inefficiency of the background process and I want suggestions from SAP Basis/BI experts on this.
We have observed that our background processes on BI server are not running as efficiently as we would like them to run.
For example
DSO activation:
When I use Dialog mode for DSO Activation with 3 parallel processes, I can activate a certain DSO with in 15 seconds. But the same DSO and the same data package when activated using background mode with 3 parallel process takes about 15 minutes.(there are plenty of background processes available on the system when this activation is running). So dialog process runs 60 times faster than background process.
In BI 7 most of the operations can be executed only in the background parallel mode. And from the activation example we know that our background processes are not as efficient as dialog processes. It
is understood that in general the background processes will not be as efficient as dialog processes, but in our case the difference is a factor of 60. We want help to identify, why the background processes are not as efficient as dialog processes. What SAP Basis settings need to be changed to make them as efficient as we can. Any suggestion or help will be highly appreciated.

Hello Eswaran
Generally a dialog process is not faster by any means than a background workprocess. Nevertheless i trust you on your observations, so there must be some difference. I just did a small test, i ran SE16 chose a big table and selected 10000 rows, i did 3 tries in dialog and 3 in background. The results:
dialog: 10.2s, 9.4s, 9.6s
background: 26s, 24s, 24s
So even in my simple example the background execution took more time. The issue here is, that the resulting output (which is pretty large) had to be saved additionally in a spool (a total of 167 pages) when executed in background. The selection of the data certainly did not take more time in either case.
The most important difference between dialog and batch processes is the memory management. Dialog processes work with a shared memory segment (extended memory). Background processes have their private heap memory.
Nevertheless, background processes are not "slower" in general, not at all. You will need to observe closer, what your processes are doing. Maybe watching SM50 while running the DSO activation is enough to see it, maybe you need to trace a process. If you see large spools generated, or huge amounts of memory consumed, we might already have an answer.
Regards
Michael

Acrobat Mac OS background process saps CPU

I have had a background process on my Mac OS (Mountain Lion and Mavericks) that occassionally shows up. I find it via Apple's Activity Monitor and see it on the CPU tab, and sorted by CPU Time it shows up near the top.
I think it has more to do with Acrobat Pro X (maybe 9 as well), since I haven't seen it while just using Acrobat Pro XI (yet!).
Anyway, the process is called "Acrobat and Adobe Reader" in the listing, with an icon that looks like the Adobe Acrobat updater, the one with the rotating arrow on it. This process will start up at some point, and then it will never quit on its own.
While it runs, it uses up immense amounts of CPU cycles (in the CPU histogram it is the red area that grows higher than 60% of the activity), and consequently other operations get starved, and it makes the CPU run harder and hotter.
The only way I have been able to get it to stop is to select it in the Processes list and call it to quit.
Anyone else run into this? Is there any way to keep it from coming up?
Thank!

Hi pathblaster,
Please refer the following KB to diable autoupdater for Acrobat : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/disable-automatic-updates-acrobat-reader.html
Alternatively you can install the updates manually from : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh

CUA - SUIM in client system with background processing of IDOCS

Hi
We have setup CUA in our Solution Manager system 4.0 sr2 SP11 and activated background processing of idocs. When we run SUIM in the child system the user creation/change information is now showing the name of the background user rather than the actual name of the creator/modifier.
Has anyone else seen this before and is it standard functionality or a bug?
Thanks in advance
Justin

Hi Djamel
When you set up CUA you do the inital import of the roles with SCUG, ensure you have the company details correct in each system. Also in each system schedule the background job SUSR_ZBV_GET_RECEIVER_PROFILES, this will get the details of any new roles/profiles setup in the child systems.

Background process zffd terminated due to missing confirmation

Hi all,
        In production system loading 2500000 lak data load to DSO when try to activate the DSO throwing below error. Kindly guide me on this.
Error:
Background process <ZASDFFF> terminated due to missing confirmation
Thanks

Hello,
To resolve this issue, you should make some adjustments to the DataStore
object parameters, then you should be able to activate the request.
Please make the following adjustments in transaction RSODSO_SETTINGS
(you can adjust this for each DataStore object):
1) Maximum package size (for activation).
    This you should reduce to 10000 (if the value is higher than that)
    Then the package processing will be less time consuming.
2) Maximum wait time for process (for activation)
    This could be increased to e.g. 600 (if the value is lower than this)
See SAP note 1118205 for further information.

Background processes of the app server

Hi,
We had setup one app server & database server. We would like to restrict the users to use the same server which they are assigned to. Currently it's happening with the logon groups for dialog users. When ever something is getting executed in background it's occupying the other servers background work process also which we don't want to.
Is there a way to control to use only that particular application server's processes when they are performing any activity or transaction running in the background.
Regards,
Krishna.

Check SAP [Note 786412 - Determining execution server of jobs w/o target server|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/786412]
The default server group has now been introduced (as of Basis Release 6.10) for these types of requirements.
Create a server group with the name 'SAP_DEFAULT_BTC' in transaction SM61 and assign the desired servers. As of now, the background jobs that do not have an execution goal are only executed on a (any) server that is included in the server group 'SAP_DEFAULT_BTC'.
Note that the 'SAP_DEFAULT_BTC' server group is analyzed at the start time of a job, but not at the definition time. This applies in general to background processing server groups.
Hope this helps.

"Unable to Connect to Background Process." Revisited

Hello,
I am getting the dreaded "Unable to Connect to Background Process."
YES I tried the apple suggestion. I also tried the hostconfig suggestion (that one was a mistake!). Archive instal on the system then a re instal of Compressor & Q Master and no luck.
I did notice one thing in activity monitor "Compressord (Not Responding)" It is hung force quit it and re launch compressor again and it dose that.
Same is true on my PowerBook G4 17 and my New MacBook Pro 17 (Witch I migrated from the PowerBook)
I am use Compressor 2.1
Not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for any info you can give me!

MacBook Pro 17 inch Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2 GB Ram 100 GB 7200 RPM Drive

Robert's suggestion above is the only thing that worked for me. I tried all of the other "fixes" on this and other threads, but nothing solved the problem until I did this:
- Quit Compressor
- Run Terminal and then enter...
sudo /Library/StartupItems/Qmaster/Qmaster
...and enter your system password.
- Re-Run Compressor and re-submit the batch and it
should work. Sometimes you need to wait a minute or
so for Qmaster to get "up and running" but it has
always worked for me. And Qmaster keeps running
until you reboot.
Hopefully, this will help someone else with the same problem.

Background File Activity Hangs

I've about had it with Dreamweaver because of this one single
problem. If I restart my system and open Dreamweaver, I can work
for a few minutes or an hour, or a few seconds, or a whole day, but
at some point along the way, guaranteed, Background File Activity
hangs during a PUT function or a Save (automatically put) function
and the resulting file on the server corrupts itself and reads a
zero length.
This is particularly annoying because it screws up my site's
styling...GRRRRR.

Just guessing here (I haven't experienced this), but does it help to rebuild your site cache? Site->Recreate Site Cache
Or, commonly these days, follow the steps for removing a corrupted cache file here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/417116
Note that it may take some time to rebuild the cache if you have a lot of files in your site(s). Perhaps longer if the local files are on a different computer (LAN).

ATP Re-Run in background processing for sales order

Hello All,
In sales order i need to re run the ATP check for the quantity confirmation in background processing.
Scenario is :
I have created orders with order quantity 100.
while creating the order stock for the same material was only 20 so ultimately it will not confirmed the quantity.
After the some period i m increasing stock of same material by 120. Now, same order which i created before can be confirmed as i need only 100 quantity in that. but for the same I need to manually run the ATP again and then it will confirm the quantity.
instead of manually re run the ATP again i want to do this activity in background processing so that it will automatically confirmed the stock once inventory increased.
Is there any provision in sap to avoid this manual task with the help of background processing or any program?
Thanks and Regards,
Rasik

Hi,
This can be achieved by rescheduling the orders .
<< Moderator message - Cut and paste response from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/93/744c0c546011d1a7020000e829fd11/content.htm removed and points unassigned. Plagiarism is not allowed in SCN >>
You reach the Sales screen.
Select Environment ® Backorders ® Rescheduling ® Execute.
You can also simulate the backorders for rescheduling before confirming by selecting the simulateevaluate option.
Prerequisite for rescheduling the line items of the order is that at schedule line you should not flag the field fixed date and quantity field. Also for ATP you must have defined the scope of check with checking rule BO(i guess) for that particular plant in combination of checking group .
Hope this will help you.

Background processes using Administration Services

Where does the background process execute when submitted through Administration Services?I think probably it would escecute on the server which is running the Administrative Services server, but want to verify this.We are running Administrative Services 6.5.3.Thanks

As an update:
The "However, this time the database "Invoke" activity is showing the following warning:" is not the issue.
I replaced the starter Partner link in the BPEL process and created it, again, using the BPEL designer. I left the ESB Adapter partner link for the database insert.
This deploysand executes without issue.
So the issue seems to be that it did not like the ESB file read service as the initiating Partner link.
I will try and discover why!
Regards
A.
