Probelm in report while running in the background

Hi all,
Iam displaying around 20 fields in in report display. when i execute in the fore ground it is displaying all fields perfectly. but when i run it int he back ground and down load to Excel file its displaying 5 fields only.(And these 20 fields are much longer fields. all columns may occupie around 200 chars. in the outut list)
pls let me know wut will be the problem?
( the length of the SPOOL screen may be smaller than report output list i think.)

Hi,
If you are running transaction in Background it is not possible to get list more than 255 char.
So better option is download that data in file. But for this use dataset as upload, download function does not work in Background mode. In background mode it is not possible to upload and download file from presentation server.
this is possible in case u have file on Application server. So, for this you have to use DATASET.
thanks

Page breaks appear in the spool output of report when run in the background

Hi All,
Report is using fm 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display the report. parameters passed to this fm for display are :it_fieldcat,is_layout,it_events,t_outtab.
Page breaks appear in the spool output when report is run in the background.These page breaks needs to be removed. When executed in the background, the excel extract should be the same as if pulling directly from the report itself.
How to remove the page breaks in background?
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek Singh

Hi
You can use the below code , which the reprt run in background. If you run the report in background thenyou need to use 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
RECEIVING e_offline = off.
IF off IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
ENDIF.

How do we create a variant for report which runs in the background?

Hi,
I want to create a report which will have some variants and will be running in the background?
The main intention is to transfer the data from one database into another. Please explain the step by step process.
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
When you run a report program in foregorund(If you have a selction-screen), by pressing F8 button, it takes you to the screen where when you press execute button, the report is executed.
In this screen, you can enter the requirec values which you wish to store in the variables in the selection-screen and press SAVE button, then a variant will be created. You can create the required variants for your report and then when executing the same report in background, the process goes in this way,
Go to SE38->Program-> Execute->Background, there you can give the variant name and press EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY and your program runs in background for the given variant.
Hope this is helpful to you. If you need further information, revert back.
Reward all the helpful answers.

Macro issue while running in the background

Hello All,
<b>Case 1:</b> Selection of aggregation level (only 9AMATNR)
When we run a Macro in the background (with an aggregation level of only 9AMATNR), the results for the Macro are looking good at the product level (for e.g. product for all locations, regions, states)
But after running the Macro in the background and when we are in interactive planning and choosing a selection (E.g. product@location) gives inconsistent results.
If we directly run the macro in the interactive planning at detail level (E.g. product@location) gives correct value
<b>Case 2:</b> (Selection of aggregation level (9AMATNR, 9ALOCNO, ZLSDMA, ZLSSTATE, ZLSREG)
But the macro results are inconsistent through out when we select the aggregation level (9ALOCNO, ZLSDMA, ZLSREG, ZLSSTATE) and run the Macro in the background.
I have already gone through the note 412429 and it is not helping me. Can someone please give some suggestions and thier thoughts.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Srinivas,
Thanks for your response and I understood your logic, but in either case 1 or case 2, can we do something related to key figures (Aggregation/Disaggregation), so that though I run the Macro in background at product level, I can drill down to detail other levels with consistent results.

HR Report running in the Background

Hi everyone,
I have a HR report which runs in the background (every 2 weeks) using a variant. When I execute the report using the same variant in the background using the menu option, it works fine( for that matter, even in the foreground) , but when it runs on the scheduler, the report gives totally different results. What could be the reason? This report does use the Logical Database.
Your answer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Reeta

Hi
what i see from your point is that you are putting the report in background from the selection screen only and making it a periodic one with the same variant.even if u r using dynamic variants in that case also when the report will runs after two weeks it will take the values of the two weeks back instead of taking it in correctly
so it would be better if you can schedule the program from sm36 with program name and variant ,then it will work perfectly fine,and logical data bases pnp and all work perfectly fine in background,
in case i understood ur point wrongly then please let me know

Can the width of a report that has been run in the background be increased?

Hello Experts,
How can I increase the width of a report that I have run in the background so that it does not wrap text to the next line?
I have been running the same HR report successfully in the background for many months. Today I ran it with the same parameters that I've always used and when I retrieve it from my Own Job Spool - System | Own Spool Request | Display Contents the last field is wrapped to the next line.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jeanette

Jeanette,
Thereu2019s another possibility if Tedu2019s suggestion doesnu2019t work. When you look at your spool requests, thereu2019s an icon on the toolbar next to the eyeglasses that looks like a yellow rectangular callout. Itu2019s called u201CDisplay in Maximum Widthu201D. Select the Spool no. to display and then press this icon. Shift + F4 is the shortcut.

LabVIEW closes while VI's are still running in the background

I have created a large application that is split between VB 6 and LV 6.1. The LabVIEW portion runs in the background, except that the VB portion can request that a LabVIEW user interface be presented on demand. Any time after this LabVIEW user interface has been opened and closed, opening and closing another application (or even just hiding a top-level window in another application) will cause LabVIEW to close, taking my background processing with it.
If the LabVIEW code is running as source code, LabVIEW prompts me before closing. However, when the LabVIEW code is running as an executable (.exe), the executable closes without prompting in this circumstance.
The scenario can be reproduced with a standard LabVIEW sample program. Proceed as follows:
1) Open VBToLV.vbp (the example program distributed with LabVIEW 6.1).
2) Start the VB program running.
3) Press the Launch LabVIEW button on the user interface of the VB program.
4) Enter an expression in the text box provided.
5) Select Display VI Front Panel.
6) Press the Run VI button.
7) Close the VI front panel by clicking its "X" button.
8) Open any handy application, such as Windows Explorer or Notepad.
9) Close this most-recently-opened program.
10) The LabVIEW Exit screen appears.
11) Exit LabVIEW.
12) Press the Run VI button.
13) An error occurs because LabVIEW has closed.
If the LabVIEW code had been built into an executable and called accordingly, there would have been no LabVIEW exit screen. The executable would have just exited silently.
This is not the way a COM server is supposed to behave. The VB program is still holding a valid reference to the server and it should remain open.
It appears that LabVIEW is monitoring the total number of top-level windows that are open. I suppose that this is how LabVIEW figures out when its own FP windows have been closed. In this case, it doesn't notice that all of its windows have been closed until some other window closes.
I have a work-around, but it's ugly.

Hi,
Perhaps you use references to windows in LabVIEW. If you get those
references with a full path (e.g. c:\code\subvis\vi1.vi), this will work
while in LabVIEW environment. But when an application is build, this will
fail, because the vi is no longer there. Try using the name in a string
instead (the OpenVIReference is polymorphic) with only the name of the vi in
it (e.g. vi1.vi).
There are some other isues that change when building an application. Most of
them are paths that change, and references that fail to open because of
them.
Regards,
Wiebe.

I have a flash game I want to run in the background while surfing other tabs. When I change tabs the game automatically pauses. How can I stop this.

Is this a flash issue or can I force this game to run in the background somehow.

Does this also happen if you run that game in another window?
You can tear off a tab to a new window by slightly dragging the tab down in the browser area.

Hi
I have a VI that needs to run in the background, however I need it to be able to recognize a certain string when typed in on the keyboard, actually it's a barcode reader - same difference. I have tried to use the keyboard.zip file from the ftp site however the VI's don't seem to work unless they are in focus. How do I do this with the program running in the background??
Thanks

Jacob,
Get the VI called Get Keys.vi (or something alike) from our online (free)
library, www.air.nl. Maybe it needs some small modifications, but it should
do the job.
However, barcode scanners are not exactly the same as user input. In theory,
yes, in practice, no. Problem is they are very fast. So, you have to scan
the keyboard very fast. Probably too fast (e.g. it's not possible to obtain
all characters from the scanner).
Fortunatlly barcode scanners often have possibilities to add a delay between
characters. Set to a delay of 50 ms (or experiment, until perfect..) and it
should work.
The VI gets keys even if another application is active.

Wiebe Walstra.

Thank you for your fast reply. However as far as I could get it to
work it still required me to have a VI in focus. The program running
in front is not a Labview VI so I'm still stuck any other suggestions?

Hi Andi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have waited for a while and the result doesn't change.
The Porblem here is the application is seen started in visual administrator.Only restart brings up the page back.
Can you please suggest anything.

Can a java program be run in the background?

Hi all,
Can a java program be run in the background without the user being aware of it? I need to make a program that continuosly monitors a pc at regular intervals and runs at all time. It should be hidden(shouldn't display on the screen while running) from the user, and also, can it be run as a system file so that even if a user checks he/she would think of it as a system file?

I'm the administrator of all the computers. Then as I said there are commercial applications that do that.
Presumably you expect a problem now. And implementing an acceptable solution is going to take you months. Because not only need to 'hide' the application, you also need to set up all the monitoring and logging capability. And the first will require quite a bit of JNI work along with testing (in particular as it could interfer with existing applications on the users computers.)
I need to
install the software in all the machines and i want
that the users who use the machine should not be able
to close the program through the task manager. If the users have admin rights then they can terminate a windows service.
And if they don't have admin rights then you can simply turn off the ability to install anything.
I want
to know what the resources of the computers are and
that if anyone has added a resource to it or
not(attaching a flash usb thumbdrive etc). Lots of JNI.

Midlet running in the background

Hello!
I am wondering if it is possible to create a java program that runs in the background on a mobile phone. I.E can it run without beeing interuppted by a call or the locking of the key pad.
Is it possible to let the program run without interfering with the normal functionallity of the phone?

Hi
To make a midlet run in the background you have to do as mentioned:
Display display = Display.getDisplay(this);
display.setCurrent(null);
This will make the midlet run in background while you can continue working with other midlets. This strategy was tested with J2MEWTK 2.5 & Black Berry.
Thanks

GarageBand running in the background with video app open

I was wondering if GarageBand will run in the background while I'm using the video app on the iPad. Basically, I'm looking to have my guitar running into my iPad with GarageBand running, while watching/following along with a guitar video lesson I also have on my iPad. Can the two programs run simultaneously, or will the video app eliminate the sounds I would get from GarageBand? Thanks.

Yes, I've done that while playing youtube videos with the youtube app (I'm still using ios 5.1).
Just go the wrench icon in Garageband and turn on "Run in Background".

Firefox running in the background

I've noticed that Firefox often hangs and keeps running in the background even after I closed the browsing windows, which is quite annoying.
I'd like to use a VPN but it's kind of pointless given such an error; I'd switch it off thinking Firefox is down but it's running.
I've had problems with constant error messages and slow performance.
I'm sure there are ways to work around this, such as shutting down the process in task manager each time or changing this and that setting, but can we expect a version that does not contain this error in the first place?
That would be so much easier.

I have noticed that sometimes I suspect, but it has been either explainable, or on other persons machines where I have not been able to troubleshoot
Before starting any further troubleshooting I suggest you try updating to the current version of Firefox
* [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
As a first troubleshooting step then try Firefox in its safe mode. That is a temporary and reversible troubleshooting stage with some features shut down
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
You mention error messages please paste them into your next reply, (or attach as a screenshot) and say what you were doing at that time.
As an Aside
I would also point out there is a reported but unfixed bug (or was last week) on what was the Aurora channel and is now called Developer Edition, that some times causes this, but even worse as it crashes and locks profiles.
Unusual that, common bugs breaking through form Nightly to Aurora.
