Problem in executing report in background in CS workflow

Hi All,
I am using ECC 6.0 version.
          In my scenario , Once notification is closed , workflow should trigger. and along with this , one report should execute in background with input parameter as a Notification no. from workflow . Report should pick up input parameter dynamically.As I know instead of function module we can choose report option in business object .
           My question is how that report will get input parameter as notification no.& How I do the binding for this (Between report & workflow)?
            Valuable suggestions are excepted.
Regards,
Sheetal

Hi Sheetal,
As I had mentioned earlier (you have already implemented), add the report to your BO as a method. Then click on method and then click 'Parameters'. Create the required parameters, which is 'Notification No.' and go to the system generated 'Program'. Here you will have to do a bit of macro coding. Obtain the No. (once you add as parameter, you will get it through binding) and pass to report.
You might also retrieve (only if required or only in certainb cases) values, for that observe how the attributes are retrieved on the basis of key field.
Best regards,
Abir.

Error when executing report in background

Hi experts,
I developed a new report. In that report I am getting data from KRMI transaction. For getting data from KRMI I have all the program and transaction and function modules under KRMI transaction to Z program, transcation and function modules and by using Call Transaction on ZKRMI and using Import and export parameters I am fetching data from KRMI transaction.
By doing this I dont have any problem while executing report online and when I am executing this report in back ground I am not getting in the above mentioned case.
Can anyone advise me in solving the issue

As already said....the import and export wont work in background...however what you can do is import and export in shared buffer
Please refer this below thread for how to proceed on this...
Re: Problem with export/import in back ground

Restrict 'Executing report in background' from selection screen

I want user to not to select option for executing report in background from Selection Screen of the program.
i.e. 'Execute Program in Background' option in 1st menu bar tab should either be disabled OR if user clicks on it then he should get error message on selection screen itself.
Thanks,
Falguni

Hi Falguni,
Write the code based on function code SJOB in the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN. Write the following code :
AT SELECTION-SCREEN
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'SJOB'.
MESSAGE E000 WITH 'You cannot schedule background job'.
ENDCASE.
Thanks & Regards,

Problem to spool when Executing reports in background

Hi experts,
I executed reports in backgroud , but when i checked in SM37 the generated spool not given proper layout format.
This problem occurs when report having more columns.
plz help me earliest.
Regards,
jyotsna

Hi jyotsna,
this happens with ALV output because the output format is determined at runtime.
You can control the print format used: Just fromyour reports list in online mode, choose PRINT. A Popup should come up letting you specify the printer, number of copies, pages to be printed and so on.
At the bottom of the popup you have the Properties button. This button opens the overview sceen for all the available print parameters. Double-Click the Format section, choose a format you want to use.The the Specifications button takes you to another screen. Here you can choose 'Valid for this report only' and Check the Background checkbox.The push the 'Copy settings' button. Then Enter to close all the popups. This should help. Additionally you can set a default layout variant for your list to be used.
For this, in the ALV list, use Menu Settings-Layout-Layout Management. Here yu can set a default variant.

Clemens

Executing Report in Background

Dear All,
I have a report with more than 400 characters in width. If it is executed in foreground the report is properly displayed but if the report is executed in background, the generated spool only displays upto 255 characters.
Is there a way to execute the report in background and make sure that the spool is generated with required width?
Regards,
Anosh

Hi Sharabh,
I have tried printing it after unchecking the "spool request max 255 characters width" option. Still the generated report does not show the report upto 400 characters.
Can you please suggest some other solution or maybe provide a way to define our own printing format?
Regards,
Anosh

Change in Normal list when i execute Report in Background.

Hi all ,
When we execute the Report in background a normal list will be displayed in the spool. In that Normal
list is it possible to shift the columns that are displayed at the last to be displayed at the beginning.
Regards ,
Murthy

Hi,
Yes you can do that.
You can determine the program is runing in background mode by using system variable SY-BATCH = 'X'.
If SY-BATCH = 'X'.
Then you can shift the column of internal table.
Endif.

How to execute report in Background from Dialog process?

How, or what is the best way, to lauch an executable program (report) into the background from a dialog program (dynpro)?
<b>Example:</b> The SUBMIT...AND RETURN still executes the called program before it returns control to the calling program. I just want the report to be kicked off and the dialog to continue as normal. I do not want the report execution time to affect the dialog process.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi Nablan, I'm also trying to do parallel processing and created a function module that kicks of another report program.
However, the process doesn't seem to work. The Main program runs from start to finish but the called program in the function module doesn't seem to run. When I used the option STARTING NEW TASK task name the code ran but in the foreground. I don't want to use this option as it runs in the foreground and SAP limits one to six sessions. Is there something I'm missing in the attributes of the function module I created. Currently the attributes are: Processing type Remote enable module and it's set to start immediately. I had used Normal function module initially but this did not work with the STARTING NEW TASK task name option.
Below are the codes segements I used.
In my main program I have the following code segement
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CA_PROG_CALL'
IN BACKGROUND TASK
EXPORTING
    zprogram            = 'ZCA_TEST1'
EXCEPTIONS
    program_call_failed = 1
    invalid             = 2
    OTHERS              = 3.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
COMMIT WORK.
In the function module I have the following code.
FUNCTION z_ca_prog_call.
""Local interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(ZPROGRAM) LIKE ZCA_INTERFPROG-ZPROGRAM
*" EXCEPTIONS
*"      PROGRAM_CALL_FAILED

IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    CASE sy-subrc.
      WHEN 1.
        RAISE program_call_failed.
      WHEN OTHERS.
        RAISE invalid.
    ENDCASE.

Problem in executing report using rwrun.sh with runtime/lexical parameters

hi..
My problem is as follows..
I'm using SuSE8.0, with Oracle DS installed..
I made a rep file to execute a report from command line using rwrun.sh.
For the first time I got problems with single quotes and later I solved it by using \ as escape sequence and I can generate the report.
I have 2 lexical parameters.
1) atable --> for table names
2) whereford --> for WHERE condition
When I make the following command I execute it successfully and get the report .
/opt/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rwrun.sh /opt/jakarta/webapps/ROOT/std-reports/DiagnoseProtokolle.rep userid=test/test@approxim batch=yes desname=/opt/jakarta/webapps/ROOT/kovi_361_Report.PDF destype=file desformat=PDF atable=\',SD_DIAGNOSESYSTEME\' whereford=\'\ $\(\ SD_DIAGNOSESYSTEME.bezeichnung\ =\'AIRBAG\'\ $\)\ AND\ $\(\ SD_DIAGNOSESYSTEME.bezeichnung\ =\'ABS\'\ $\)\ AND\' tracefile=/opt/jakarta/webapps/ROOT/trace/trace.log tracemode=TRACE_REPLACE
** In one line..
If I don't use \ for escaping braces it doesn't work and also for spaces and single quotes.
I use braces as I get sometimes mixed conditions..
But when I make a condition like for eg: emp.emp_id = dept.emp_emp_id it is not executing..
i mean primary key is referd to foreign key of another table.
so in the same way the error prone command looks like this
/opt/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rwrun.sh /opt/jakarta/webapps/ROOT/std-reports/DiagnoseProtokolle.rep userid=test/test@approxim batch=yes desname=/opt/jakarta/webapps/ROOT/kovi_361_Report.PDF destype=file desformat=PDF atable=\',MESSWERTE,SD_DIAGNOSESYSTEME\' whereford=\'\ $\(\ MESSWERTE.mess_id\ =\ SD_DIAGNOSESYSTEME.mess_mess_id\ AND\ SD_DIAGNOSESYSTEME.bezeichnung\ =\'AIRBAG\'\ $\)\ AND\ $\(\ SD_DIAGNOSESYSTEME.bezeichnung\ =\'ABS\'\ $\)\ AND\' tracefile=/opt/jakarta/webapps/ROOT/trace/trace.log tracemode=TRACE_REPLACE
when I had a look at the trace.log file I see that particular condition is transformed in to
MESSWERTE.mess_id = 'SD_DIAGNOSESYSTEME.mess_mess_id'
but this is completely awkward.
Then I made a batch file and tested it on windows and i put the whole condition in double quotes and it worked always fine..
It seems the problem is with the shell ..or ??
In my rwrun.sh th elast line looks like this..
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rwrun $*
I also tried to chaneg this to
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rwrun "$@" and also $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rwrun "$*"
but no progress..
If some one could help me it would be gratefull for me..
Thanx in advance..
regards
Kovi

Here's the relevant portion from the Bash manual:
Enclosing characters in double quotes preserves the literal value of all characters within the quotes, with the exception of $, `, and \. The characters $ and ` retain their special meaning within double quotes. The backslash retains its special meaning only when followed by one of the following characters: $, `, ", \, or <newline>. A double quote may be quoted within double quotes by preceding it with a backslash.
So basically stop escaping the single-quotes with a backslash, and instead enclose the entire argument value in double-quotes. Add the single-quotes only if you want them literally, don't escape the parentheses, etc. Let's know if it works for you.

Problem when execute report Conversion Tool XI 3.0 on a client

Hi everyone,
When I use Report Conversion Tool on a client (not on Webi Server Windows 2003) I have an error (a red cross appears) before the conversion.
I believe that RCT can not open the document to migrate.
All it's OK when I use RCT since the Webi Server.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have install all the client tool (even SDK, Query Web Service) except Assitant migration source de données, Gestionnaires Vues d'entreprise et Gestionnaire de traduction.
I think I have a problem of rights on my Windows 2003 Server because in the log of conversion (C:Documents and SettingsUtilisateurLocal SettingsTempconversionUSER146731693logsD30860242.xml)
the following lines are written :
Note that I do the conversion with the Administrator login.
