PA40 in background HR system

We have a program to updata data into the HR system from a file using the transaction PA40.
if we run the program in forground, it is updating the system properly. but when we run the program in background, then it is not updating into the HR system. We notice one thing that MASSN 20 ( termination worked in background and P3 - Annual review with merit increase did not work). the Subrc for call traction is coming ) for both case. Please advice.
Thanks

Ive done several BIs for PA40 and they work fine. The only advice I could give to you about your issue is that when executing an action (with PA40) SAP triggers dynamic actions, wich make the integration between PA and OM, but those dynamic actions dont get triggered if you are in a Batch Input, so watch that out. May be after executing the termination action in background the position of the employee is not set as vacant by the system.
Best regards

Cannot use iPhoto library to set background in System Preferences

I'm unable to set any photos from my iPhoto library as a desktop background using System Preferences. When I select a photo, it appears in the little preview window, but the desktop itself just turns blue.
The Choose Folder option works fine, and I can also set a new background picture from within iPhoto. Any idea why System Preferences can't properly access the iPhoto library?
Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem!!

Can't change Desktop background in System Preferences

Hi. When I try to change my desktop background, either by right-clicking on the desktop or by opening System Preferences, the screen for Desktop options is blank. None of the options show up, grayed out or otherwise. While in System Preferences, if I click on Screen Saver, everything there works fine. But the button for Desktop becomes grey and I can't click on it.
I've tried Repair Permissions and this didn't work. I've seen similar posts here, but they don't seem to have the same problem I do, nothing freezes up, the Desktop screen is just blank. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks!
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

1. OK, let's try some more trashing: 1. Quit System Preferences if it is open.
2. Open your Home > Library > Caches folder, then trash the following two files therein:
- com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
- com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindexcache
3. Trash the file
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
in your Home > Library > Preferences folder.
4. Trash the file
com.apple.systempreferences.xxx.plist
in your Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder, where xxx is an alphanumeric string.
5. Empty Trash.
6. Launch System Preferences and see if the problem is resolved.2. You wrote"I still have my Desktop Pictures folder."I presume you mean the Macintosh HD > Library > Desktop Pictures folder I cited previously. How about the contents of that folder? It should contain five folders:• Abstract
• Black & White
• Nature
• Plants
• Solid Colorsand a collection of .jpg images for a total of 28 objects.
3. I know you earlier said you ran Repair Permissions. I presume the permissions on Macintosh HD > Library > Desktop Pictures are:You can: Read & Write
Owner: system
Access: Read & Write
Group: admin
Access: Read & Write
Others: Read OnlyYes?
4. If none of the above sorts it out, let's see if it's isolated to your account. Do you have a second user account defined on your system? If so, log in to it and see if the problem happens there. If it does, it is probably a system-wide problem. If not, it is something with your user account. If you don't have a second account on your system, you can create a new one using System Preferences > Accounts. See "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Adding a new user account to your computer."
5. Immediately after the problem occurs — i.e. you open Desktop & Screen Saver preferences and either cannot select Desktop or Desktop is blank — check the ends of these Console logs for clues. Let's see if console can tell us if the Desktop preference pane is corrupted.
6. Do you have any personal Web space? If so, can you take a screen shot of the problem and upload it to your personal Web space? If so, post a link back here to the image. It may help if I can see what you're seeing, though I think I understand it from your description, "a picture is worth..." etc.
7. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
8. To what was / is your Desktop image presently set? One of the Apple collections or images? Something from your iPhoto Library?
FYI: I number my points so you can respond by number.
Good luck!

Can't Find Change Desktop Background in System Preferences... and other ???

I can't remember the last time I changed my desktop background, but it's been on the default plain blue. I tried to change it recently, and I cannot find the option to change background pictures in the System Preferences. I tried right-clicking on the desktop and used the context menu. That launched system preferences, kind of... the program opened, but the viewer did not... the actual window with all the options. I don't think my computer can find it either! I read a few discussions on this topic, and found to delete the plist from preferences folder.. tried that to no avail. Please help.

Hi again agapean,
Sorry to take so long to post back for you.
I found a screenshot of the System Preferences for 10.2 Jaguar and I see that you have two separate preference panes for Desktop and Screen Effects. In my Panther, the two were combined as one pane known as Desktop and Screensavers.
In the row below the toolbar of your System Preferences (It should be called Personal for that bar of preference "panes") there should be an icon for "Desktop".
See: Jaguar System Preferences
Is that not what you are seeing when you open System Prefences? If the Desktop pane is missing then it sounds as if it has somehow become deleted or corrupted.
I use Application Enhancer, windowshade, uControl, and Lite switch. They are all properly registered, but the icons are weird at the bottom... almost squished together? And the International icon shows up 3 times in System Preferences, once in Personal and twice in Other, where the other programs are located as well.
Third party hacks such as those can wreak havoc on the OS and things can become corrupted and cause a variety of system problems. It may very well be that that is what is causing the anomalies with your Desktop pictures/preferences.
Personally, I would uninstall them, if possible, and Repair Permissions from Disk Utility and try applying the 10.2.8 Combo update from Apple's downloads.
Back when I was using 10.2.8 I remember many problems users were having with system hacks like those back then. Perhaps others here may have a simpler approach to straightening out your situation.

Background JOB system variable?

Guys,
i want to execute my program through backgound i.e From report selection screen menu.
progam->execute in background.
What system variable i need to use to trigger from here.
regards,
vijay

What system variable i need to use to trigger from here.
Not sure what you mean by this, but if your program is running in background either by SM37 or by doing a SUBMIT in the code, or even by doing so from the selection screen, the system variable SY-BATCH will be equal to "X".
Regards,

Folder background colors & System Profiler?

I just installed Lion (10.7.4) yesterday and have a couple problems. First, there is a question mark in my dock for the System Profiler which used to be there and I can't find it in the application folder anymore. Also, the colored background of various data folders I created turn white when the files inside are sorted and the "background chooser" in "view options" won't change it back again. I used colored backgrounds in folders to help in organizing data files. Is there any way to get back control of this?

On the background chooser issue, it looks like it only works in icon view.
Change a window’s background
You can use a color or photo as the background of a Finder window.
Open the window and choose View > As Icons.
Pictures and colored backgrounds are visible only when items in a window are viewed as icons.
Choose View > Show View Options.
Under Background, select either Color or Picture.
Color: Click the color box and select a background color.
Picture: Click Select and choose the picture you want to use.
White: Return the background to normal.
To have every Finder window on your computer use this color or picture as its background, click “Use as Defaults.”
To reverse your changes, press the Option key and click “Restore to Defaults.”
Note: The “Use as Defaults” and “Restore to Defaults” buttons do not appear if you’re adjusting icons for the desktop or for the “All My Files” and “All My Applications” folders.

Using Photos (iPhoto) as Desktop Background and system startup time

I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why my iMac is taking longer and longer to boot (mostly after software updates).
My stopwatch shows a little over 3 minutes from chimes until there is a usable UI.
Through process of elimination, I finally found the problem. We have over 24,000 pictures in iPhoto, and like to cycle through them as the desktop background. The problem with wanting to do this is OSX seems to have to enumerate through all 24,000 before it selects a "startup background", which takes around 2.25 minutes. Not bad, considering, but still an awful startup experience. I was starting to think I was running Vista or something.
Wondering if anyone else had run across this and if there was any known workaround, short of picking another style of desktop background?

I keep my favorite photos in a separate wallpaper folder. I select my photo for the desktop manually, but I wonder if you could not set up a folder of favorites and rotate among these. Perhaps with fewer photos in a folder, your computer would not have to take so much time going through them all.

Dynamic background causes System Crash / Re-Start?

Hi all,
Does anybody share the same expierience.
I am using ipad3, but I have seen same behaviour on the new ipad Air.
For example - I close a program and the system restarts.
Since (today) I use standard wallpaper it seems to be fixed.
Alex.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!
Here is what I did:
Restarted the Mac
Logged in with the Admin account
I got the same message as before, however in addition I was asked if I wanted to send a crash report to Apple. I was not asked to do this when I was logging in using my non-admin account.
Logged out of Admin and back in with my normal account. No error message.
Restarted the Mac again and logged in with my normal account. Again no error message.
So it looks as if sending the crash report is what cleared the message.
Thanks for the idea.

Change the background colour of windows system-wide? (non B/W)

I have difficulty reading on a white background, but find the White on Black theme doesn't work for me either. The background colour which works best for me is #F9EEE2;. I can work for nearly twice as long in a window with that background colour.
So I prefer apps which allow me to change the background colour of their windows (e.g. [PathFinder|http://www.cocoatech.com>, [iTerm|http://iterm.sourceforge.net>, [Journler|http://wiki.journler.com/index.php?title=Main_Page], [OmniOutliner|http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnioutliner>, [BBEdit|http://www.barebones.com/index.shtml], [TranslateIt|http://mac.gettranslateit.com>). I'll pay for this feature.
However, I often don't have the choice. For example, [PoEdit|http://www.poedit.net/index.php] is the only OSX-native gettext .po editor (since Snow Leopard killed Cocoa-Java and thus [LocFactoryEditor|http://www.triplespin.com/en/products/locfactoryeditor.html]) , so I have to use it. I asked the developer if he could add a preference to change the background colour of the window (PoEdit is Carbon). He replied that this sort of preference should be system-wide, shouldn't it?
From the Linux POV, yes, it should. Do we have that sort of option in OSX Snow Leopard? Previous OSX theme apps ShapeShifter and Mystique are respectively not yet compatible with OSX, and not available any more. I had a look at [ThemePark|http://www.geekspiff.com/software/themepark> (which does support 10.6), but don't know where to start in editing resource files. So what are our options for changing window background colour system-wide? (Or is there a Carbon plugin or library the PoEdit developer could use to embed that preference for his app.?)
Thanks for any help you can offer with this.

I asked a similar question before...as far as I know, there is no option to change this system-wide...short of creating a new color profile or using some hidden Terminal command.

To Check whether Background Job ran or no

How can we programatically check in a program whether a background job ran or not for a particular output type of invoice ?? Pls help me out

Hi,
This will probably work.
report zkiran_0001 .
data: xtbtco type tbtco .
parameters: p_job type tbtco-jobname.
start-of-selection.
clear xtbtco.
select single * from tbtco
 into xtbtco
 where jobname = p_job
 and status = 'R'. " running
if sy-subrc = 0.
 write:/ 'Job', p_job, ' is currently running'.
endif.
Statuses....
Status of background job
The following statuses are possible:
Scheduled: Job defined, but not yet eligible to run even if the start condition has been fulfilled.
Released: Job eligible to be started as soon as the start condition with which it was scheduled is fulfilled.
Ready: Job waiting to start. The job has been released and the job's start condition has been fulfilled.
Active: Job is currently running and can no longer be deleted or reset to scheduled.
Finished: Job has been successfully completed. All job steps completed successfully.
Note: the background processing system cannot always determine whether an external job step was successfully completed. In this case, the system assumes successful completion.
Terminated: Job was ended abnormally either through user action or through an error in running a job step.
Internal codes for these are as follows.
btc_running LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'R',
btc_ready LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'Y',
btc_scheduled LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'P',
btc_released LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'S',
btc_aborted LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'A',
btc_finished LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'F',
btc_put_active LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'Z',
btc_unknown_state LIKE tbtco-status VALUE 'X'.

Background Job Scheduling

Hi,
I am scheduling a report to run in background.
In this report it is creating background jobs automatically for different company codes.
It submits the 1st background job and waits until it finishes.
Then 2nd job starts in background and continues with other jobs.
At end it finishes all the jobs and closes.
Now my problem is.
1.       Whether is it possible for us to submit all the jobs at 1 time. And execute at same time. Ie., 1st, 2nd job will start at same time.
2.       If possible how can we do that.
What I have written is
loop at companycode.
Create job name.
call fun 'Job_Open'.
submit xxxx user sy-uname via job job_name numer job_count
to sap-spool
spool parameters l_spool_parameter
without spool dynpro
with companycode
with ......
and return.
endloop.
Please help ASAP, urgent.

hi praveen,
Job Scheduling Explained
Definition
Before any background processing can actually begin, background jobs must be defined and scheduled. The scheduled time for when a job runs is one part of the jobs definition. There are several ways to schedule jobs:
From Transaction SM36 (Define Background Job)
With the "start program in the background" option of either Transaction SA38 (ABAP: Execute Program) or Transaction SE38 (the ABAP editor)
Through the background processing systems own programming interface. (Many SAP applications use the internal programming interface to schedule long-running reports for background processing.)
Through an external interface.
Scheduling Background Jobs
Use
You can define and schedule background jobs in two ways from the Job Overview:
·         Directly from Transaction SM36. This is best for users already familiar with background job scheduling.
·         The Job Scheduling Wizard. This is best for users unfamiliar with SAP background job scheduling. To use the Job Wizard, start from Transaction SM36, and either select Goto ® Wizard version or simply use the Job Wizard button.
Procedure
       1.      Call Transaction SM36 or choose CCMS ® Jobs ® Definition.
       2.      Assign a job name. Decide on a name for the job you are defining and enter it in the Job Name field.
       3.      Set the jobs priority, or Job Class:
·         High priority:      Class A
·         Medium priority: Class B
·         Low priority: Class C
       4.      In the Target server field, indicate whether to use system load balancing.
·         For the system to use system load balancing to automatically select the most efficient application server to use at the moment, leave this field empty.
·         To use a particular application server to run the job, enter a specific target server.
       5.      If spool requests generated by this job are to be sent to someone as email, specify the email address. Choose the Spool list recipient button.
       6.      Define when the job is to start by choosing Start Condition and completing the appropriate selections. If the job is to repeat, or be periodic, check the box at the bottom of this screen.
       7.      Define the jobs steps by choosing Step, then specify the ABAP program, external command, or external program to be used for each step.
       8.      Save the fully defined job to submit it to the background processing system.
       9.      When you need to modify, reschedule, or otherwise manipulate a job after you've scheduled it the first time, you'll manage jobs from the Job Overview.
Note: Release the job so that it can run. No job, even those scheduled for immediate processing, can run without first being released.
Specifying Job Start Conditions
Use
When scheduling a background job (either from Transaction SM36, Define Background Job or CCMS ® Jobs ® Definition), you must specify conditions that will trigger the job to start.
Procedure
Choose the Start condition button at the top of the Define Background Job screen.
Choose the button at the top of the Start Time screen for the type of start condition you want to use (Immediate, Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode) and complete the start time definition in the screen that appears.
For the job to repeat, check the Periodic job box at the bottom of the Start Time screen and choose the Period values button below it to define the frequency of repetition (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or another specific time-related period). Then choose the Save button in the Period values screen to accept the periodicity and return to the Start Time screen.
Once youve completed specifying the job start conditions, choose the Save button at the bottom of the Start Time screen to return to the Define Background Job screen.
No job can be started until it is released, including jobs scheduled to start immediately. Since releasing jobs can be done only by a system administrator from the job management screen (Transaction SM37) or by other users who have been granted the appropriate Authorizations for Background Processing, no unauthorized user can start a job without explicit permission
Managing Jobs from the Job Overview
Use
The Job Overview, or Job Maintenance, screen is the single, central area for completing a wide range of tasks related to monitoring and managing jobs, including defining jobs; scheduling, rescheduling, and copying existing jobs; rescheduling and editing jobs and job steps; repeating a job; debugging an active job; reviewing information about a job; canceling a job's release status; canceling and deleting jobs; comparing the specifications of several jobs; checking the status of jobs; reviewing job logs; and releasing a job so it can run.
Procedures
To display the Job Overview screen, choose CCMS ® Jobs ® Maintenance or call Transaction SM37. Before entering the Job Overview screen, the system first displays the Select Background Jobs screen. You'll need to complete this Job Selection screen to define the criteria for the jobs you want to manage. Once you've selected jobs to manage, you can choose from a wide range of management tasks:
To copy a single existing job, choose Job ® Copy.
To reschedule or edit job steps or attributes of a single job, choose Job ® Change. A job step is an independent unit of work within a background job. Each job step can execute an ABAP or external program. Other variants or authorizations may be used for each job step. The system allows you to display ABAP programs and variants. You can scan a program for syntax errors. You can also display the authorizations for an authorized user of an ABAP job step.
To repeat a single job, choose Job ® Repeat scheduling.
To debug an active job, choose Job ® Capture: active job. Only a single selection is allowed.

Scheduling a background job

Hi all,
I have a requirement in which i need to run a job only after 5th of everymonth to untill end of month in one hour gap.
So it should be like that,job start from
Nov---5th to nov 30th then
Dec---5th to Dex31th.How can i acheive this?I cannot modify the program since it is a standard program?
Apart from creating the customized program and call the standard program from there...i would like to have some other
solution than this since there are variants in the standard program.
Rgards,
Arun.

Hi Arun ,
You can use Background Processing Event.
An event is a signal stating that a predefined status in the system has
been reached. The background processing system receives events and then
starts the background job/jobs that is/are linked to an event.
So in the "After Events" tab in SM36 you specify a perticular event which will be triggered on 5th of every month and you will schedule your job after that with periodicy as "every hour"
Hope this will help to you .
Regards,
Nikhil

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.
