Output of background job

Hi all.
I have given a job to run in background and the job was sucessfully run(job status is complete). where i have to see the output the Back ground job ?
Thanks in advance
Krish..

Hi Krish,
Check in SM37, if status is complete then you can See in SP01 or Can directly go to Spool list from the SM37 only if you select icon(spool).
Reward points if this Helps.

Regarding the output of background job in spool

Hi Friends:
I have a report.When I run it in foreground, it displays an alv output.
I want to see the output when I run it in background. When I select the job & press on spool, it shows a message that no list available. Please help with the settings to see the output in spool.
Suitable points will be rewarded.

Hi,
have a look at this thread:
Re: OO ALV in background job
Best regards.

Error message supercedes output in background job.

Hi,
When I run my ALV report in foreground, the output (of several pages) is correctly presented, and upon clicking "BACK", the screen displays the authorization message "Personnel numbers skipped by database driver : ... Reason 1 : insufficient authorization, no. skipped personnel nos : .." which is expected, as the user is subjected to authorization granted to the user.
However, when I run the job in background and upon completion, the spool shows only 1 page, i.e. the authorization message above is displayed on the spool output, and the report/output list result is suppressed. Is there a way to get the output of the report instead of the authorization message above ?
Thank you.

Kir,
This is a common problem which everyone faces when running such reports with Error messages in the background. Any error message that encounters in the background mode would make the job to fail.
So, what you can do develop your own message class and give the error messages as Information messages. But, as you told that you are running it on PNP Database and you cannot have access to change it I dont think there is another way to achieve this.
Anyways,

ALV Grid output in background Job

Hello everyone,
Can someonen plz tell me if I execute my report (with Grid ALV Display) in background (sy-batch not initial ) , will the ALV Grid be displayed ?
If no, then in order to show success do I have to 'WRITE' the success message ?
Thanks

Hello,
The grid will be generated as a list & spool will be generated. REUSEALVGRID* FM handles this explicitly no need to code for it.
You do not need to use WRITE for this
Also FYI for OO ALV you have to code for the batch handling: [CNTL_ERROR while running a report in background mode|CNTL_ERROR while running a report in background mode]

Background job not showing full output of Report

Dear Experts
we have created zpgm for stad report and try to take output as mail to particular user for future analysis bcaz stad gives only 2 days report only we need keep report for months together so when we run job in foreground it shows proper output but when same thing when we run from background it shows only some part of report in mail (we are unable to get full output through background job )
we send mail through spool receipts we have created folder and maintain user for getting mails through so15 distribution list
we need some input to come out of this major issue
if there is any other workaround let me know
Regards

Hello,
If a job is defined by transaction SM36, the print format parameters will only be taken into account, if they are saved as user specific print parameters of the batch user. If no user specific print format
is defined, the ALV standard logic will be processed adjusting the print format to the actual line size of the report.
For example, the list line size is about 132 characters, the widest available format of the chosen printer will be selected X_65_132.
The problem would be solved by defining a device type which is no format assigned to print, or by defining user specific print format parameters for the batch user, who creates the jobs in SM36 (see
SAP note 1179399, item 6).

Interpretation of result output - COGI (Background - CORUAFWP)

A background job(CORUAFWP) is scheduled, which runs once a day for clearing COGI errors, the output of background job has following numerical data
Number of total items :1726
Number of locked items : 0
Number of incorrect items :1720
Number of withdrawn items
Even though there is no clearing of COGI errors, why there is difference of 6 (between total items
and incorrect items)
Note:
Other day, there was 1 material document posted in background processing with following numerical data output
Number of total items : 1723
Number of locked items : 0
Number of incorrect items : 1716
Number of withdrawn items : 1
As one can notice, net difference between total items and incorrect items is 7 (while, only 1 item is withdrawn)
and six items is open question
Thanks,

PPIO,
Probably not. If any user is accessing COGI (or) Goods Issue/Reciepts and
confirmations transactions where material movement is involved, there would locked entries
during background job execution. In here, lock entries count is ZERO

Background job output to Presentation server

Hi,
I am executing report as Background job.
after job gets completed output should be in excel format in front end or presentation server.
Regards
Naga

Hi,
We cannot perform any action on the presentation server in a program that is being execcuted in background. What you can do is to write the output on to the app server, and after wards move the file on to the Pres. server using CG3Y transaction.

Background job list output

hi friends,
i have a report that i submit to run as background job...in this report there are outputs, e.g. "WRITE" statements...how can i make those visible on screen ?
regards,
clemens

Hi,
When you run the job in the Background, the Output will be generated in the Spool, so you can look at this from SE37 or From Spool SP01, from there you can see that value,
You can use the below function modules to read the Spool
BAPI_XBP_JOB_SPOOLLIST_READ Read the Spool List of an ABAP Job Step
BAPI_XBP_JOB_SPOOLLIST_READ_20 Read the spool list for an ABAP job step (XBP Version 2.0)

ALV list display in a Background job - Spool output

Hi,
We are currently working on a report scheduled to be run in the background job, and the ALV list is displayed in the spool output.
ALV list in the spool does not look the same as front run job, the column headers are all crowded together, and there is no grid in-between different columns or rows. It's hard to read.
Is there a way to add grid for this kind of output?
Thanks!

Page-break in alv background job for alv output variant not coming correctl

Hi,
I have created an ALV grid report. When i run the report in background i get the output with correct page-break on FIELD1. Now when i run the report in background with an "ALV output variant" (its the ALV variant that controls the fields display in the output; this is not the program variant), i do not get the page-break on FIELD1. I have already build the sort criteria and using:
gs_sort-group = '* '.     "New-Page
Please let me know what could be reason for not getting the page-break in background when i am using the alv output variant and how do i correct this problem.
Regards,
Rakesh

Hello Everyone,
I have solved the problem. While running the program in background, we get the page-breaks when we use the below part of code in the sort catalogue with the condition that the program variant should not use any ALV layout variant.
gs_sort-group = '* '.     "New-Page
If you are using the ALV layout variant in the program variant then we can check the ROWPOS, COLPOS, and NO_OUT for that ALV layout variant and pass them along in the fieldcatalog table. You should be careful with not to pass the layout variant in the DISVARIANT. You can notice that i have cleared it and simply passing the program name into that.
*C-- Process separately for jobs running in Background. Actually
*C-- sortcat-group solves the problem only in Foreground. In background
*C-- when ALV layout variant is not selected then it works otherwise it
*C-- fails. So for background jobs we are reading the fieldcat and then
*C-- passing the same in the display FM.

Then pass gt_fieldcat to 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
The reason i'm doing it this way is that when we pass the layout variant name, the contents in gt_fieldcat were getting modified.
One more thing i'd like to point out is that that, i tried to delete the fields with no_out = 'x'. Now when i ran the program in background with all the fields in sort catalog (suppose there are 2 fields field1 and field2) also in fieldcatalog it ran fine. In the next run in background i removed one of the fields in sort catalog from the fieldcatalog (delete the fields with no_out = 'x') and i got dump. Basically i had hidden field1 and so the code which was deleting fields with no_out = 'x' deleted this field from gt_fieldcat. So basically we should not delete fields with no_out = 'x'.
I was getting ABAP runtime errors    MESSAGE_TYPE_X in the following part of the standard code.
000310     LOOP AT CT_SORT INTO LS_SORT.
000320

000370       ENDIF.
000380
000390       LS_SORT-SELTEXT = <LS_FIELDCAT>-SELTEXT.
i have just mentioned this part because when i checked the forum many people were getting such errors "MESSAGE_TYPE_X". This could also be one of the reasons.

Sending output to a printer in a background job

I did a quick search on this issue and found a few suggestions. One suggestion was to use something like this:
SUBMIT RSFLFIND ... TO SAP-SPOOL DESTINATION 'LT50'.
I looked at the SAP help for SUBMIT and it was quite helpful however it raised a few questions. The program that am writing will be run in the background. I want to create a simple report that will print at several different printers when it is done. Looking at the help section (specifically this part):
"The SUBMIT statement accesses an executable program rep. The executable program is executed as described under Calling Executable Reports.
The program name rep can either be specified directly or as the content of a character-like data object name. The data object name must contain the name of the program to be accessed in block capitals. If the program specified in name is not found, an irretrievable exception is generated.
The selscreen_options additions can be used to determine the selection screen for the program accessed and to supply it with values.
The list_options additions allow you to influence the output medium and the page size in the basic list for the program accessed.
You can schedule the program for background processing by specifying job_options. "
It seems like I would create a simple program like this:
DATA: number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,
      name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST',
      print_parameters TYPE pri_params.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
    jobname          = name
IMPORTING
    jobcount         = number

    cant_create_job = 1
    invalid_job_data = 2
    jobname_missing = 3
    OTHERS           = 4.
IF sy-subrc = 0.

                    SPOOL DESTINATION 'LT50'.
                    VIA JOB name NUMBER number
                    AND RETURN.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
      EXPORTING
        jobcount             = number
        jobname              = name
        strtimmed            = 'X'
      EXCEPTIONS
        cant_start_immediate = 1
        invalid_startdate    = 2
        jobname_missing      = 3
        job_close_failed     = 4
        job_nosteps          = 5
        job_notex            = 6
        lock_failed          = 7
        OTHERS               = 8.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
That will then call the background job and the output will go to the print spool. I have a few reservations about this. The print spool will not be determined until the background job. The background job creates sales orders and the material group, in the sales order, determines the printer that the final report will go to. Also, if this is the way to do it, do I just do simple write statements in the background job?

Hi,
Please try this ... perhaps it may help.

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

Yes you can use job functions:

GUI_* WS_* Function In Background, CSV Upload
GUI_* and WS_* function modules do not work in background
When scheduling a job in the background the appropriate statement to read in your file is OPEN DATASET, and the file must be on the file system that the SAP server can see.
At anytime, a user can switch of the Personal Computers even though the job is still running in the background. Therefore GUI_* and WS_* function modules are not designed to work in that way, as they need to access your personal computer file.
To choose the correct download method to used, you can check the value of SY-BATCH in your code,
if it is 'X' use OPEN DATASET and if it is ' ' use WS_UPLOAD.
*-- Open dataset for reading

dsn(20) VALUE '/usr/test.dat',

What is the difference when we use upload, ws_upload, gui_upload function modules?
UPLOAD, WS_UPLOAD, GUI_UPLOAD, are used in BDC concepts. ie., Batch Data Communication.
Batch Data Conversion is a concept where user can transfer the Data from non SAP to SAP R/3. So , in these various Function Modules are used.
UPLOAD--- upload a file to the presentation server (PC)
WS_UPLOAD----    Load Files from the Presentation Server to Internal ABAP Tables.
WS means Work Station.
This is used upto SAP 4.6 version.
GUI_UPLOAD-------    Replaces WS_UPLOAD. Upoad file from presentation server to the app server. From 4.7 SAP version it is replaced.
How to Upload csv file to SAP?

How you upload the data from text file to sap internal table? From my knowledge its by upload or gui_upload.
How you download the data from sap internal table to text file?
How you upload the data from xls (excel) file to sap internal table how you download the data from sap internal table to xls(excel) file.
You can upload data from presentation server to an internal table using gui_upload. Use gui_download to download from internal table to flat file.
Use fm ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE to upload data frm excel.
Use function module GUI_UPLOAD
