Alv report in back ground

Hi All,
Can we run alv report in back ground,if yes how?
Thanks&Regards.
Srikanth.V

hi Ramu,
Run in Background but make sure it is alv list, not alv Grid FM. if you are uisng alv list not problem , but if you are using alv grid then you can code like this..
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.

Filter report by back ground color or by condition

I'd like to filter my report by conditions like iif(Parameter is true, Fields.speed.value > 100 or Fields.speed.value > (speedlimit +15), nothing). I tried using Dataset filter as following set up, but it won't return the order with speed
over 100 or over speedlimit by 15 km/h.
FilterExpression: [Speed]
>
=iif((Parameter.Boolean.value = true, 100 or (fields.Speedlimit.value +15), 0).
Then i filter all the cell that when speed is under the condition like
iif(speed > 100 or speed > (speedlimit+15), "PINK", "White")
but I don't know whether I could filter report by back ground color.
Anyone please help me with any solution.
thanks.

Thank you very much for the solution.!
It works when i select "true' for the parameter.
But instead of showing all orders when "false", it shows orders under condition Fields!Speed.Value>(Fields!SpeedLimit.Value+15.
Do you have any idea why?
all order number is 1000
number of orders with Field.Speed.Value > 100 is 13
number of orders with Fields!Speed.Value>(Fields!SpeedLimit.Value+15
is 340
number of orders with Fields!Speed.Value>100
or Fields!Speed.Value>(Fields!SpeedLimit.Value+15 is 353
I'm getting 353 when "True" 340 when "False"(I do want 1000)

Problem when printing Alv Tree Report in back ground

Hi,
I am using SUBMIT ...TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO with GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS FM.Its working fine.
My problem is that my SUBMIT report have TREE STRUCTURE as output so when i am running my program one blank screen is coming with heading DISPLAY LOG TREE because of TREE STRUCTURE.when i click on back button then only further processing happens.
How to avoid this TREE STRUCTURE SCREEN ???
Is there any other way to pass your list o/p to SPOOL other than .....TO SAP-SPOOL..?
Thanks in advance.

in foreground when u run ALV report it holds maximum fields and displays in 1 single row, but the case is not in back ground...When any report is run in background, the default size for a line is 255 chars...So, if it more it gets splitted into 2 line item....This is how back ground job works for a report though it is a normal report or alv report.

so pls help me out for this..
i want my submitted program to be run in back ground..
thanks.

Hi,
Start Job Monitor SM37 and search for your job. I think you will find it.
Jobs are not linked to GUI frontend. So you can't debug your background job in that way.
If you want to debug you must be tricky.
Code a never ending loop with an exit condition which you can control by debugging.
DATA:
stop_for_capture.
DO.
IF sy-uname NE 'HABICH'. "change to your account
EXIT.
ENDIF.
IF NOT stop_for_capture IS INITIAL.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
When your job is running, start TA SM50 and mark relevant batch work process and
choose by menu program -> program -> debugging.

Having problem submitting error report to Apple.

I keep getting the message Submission failed. Your report could not be submitted. Please try again later. My email and internet both work so it's not a connection problem. I have had this problem in the past and just never sent the report.

Very strange. This doesn't fit my view of the world. Please, tell us if a reinstall worked.
Otherwise one thing you could try is to open the application package, (Ctrl-click on the application and choose "See Package content".) Navigate to Contents > MacOS and double click on the icon there. That may "remind" MacOS that this is a MacOS X application.

Problem with export/import in back ground

Hi Experts,
I am having a requirement in which i am exporting an internal table to memory from one program and importing that in another program. in foreground it is working fine. But in background it is not working. Is there any work around.
Here is sample code.
Program1:
types:
begin of tab_type,
    para type string,
    dobj type string,
end of tab_type.
data:
id    type c length 10 value 'TEXTS',
text1 type string value `IKE`,
text2 type string value `TINA`,
line type tab_type,
itab type standard table of tab_type,
    itab1 type standard table of tab_type.
line-para = 'P1'.
line-dobj = 'TEXT1'.
append line to itab.
line-para = 'P2'.
line-dobj = 'TEXT2'.
append line to itab.
free memory id 'TD'.
export itab to memory id 'TD'.
Program2:
types:
begin of tab_type,
    para type string,
    dobj type string,
end of tab_type.
data:
id    type c length 10 value 'TEXTS',
text1 type string value `IKE`,
text2 type string value `TINA`,
line type tab_type,
itab type standard table of tab_type,
    itab1 type standard table of tab_type.
refresh itab.
import itab from memory id 'TD'.
free memory id 'TD'.
clear line.
loop at itab into line.
write: / line-para, line-dobj.
clear line.
endloop.

Download ALV report in back ground in local directry

thanks to all but my porblem is download the ALV report in background in local directry.

HI ,
   Find the small code to download the file in background.
n SAP ABAP you can transfer the contents of the internal table to a file. This is required when you wish to extract data from SAP tables into a flat file. This file can then be used to transfer data to another SAP or NON SAP system. This can also be used for an interfacing when you wish to transfer data on a daily or a weekly basis from R/3 to NON R/3 or SAP. The command used to create a file on the application server is as follows.
OPEN DATASET
Please see example code below.

How to run a report in back ground

how to run a report in background with out using job open, submit , close is there any other function module to run report in background.

Hi,
There are two ways for you to handle,
one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
Find below steps in doing both:
Procedure 1:
1. Goto Trans -> SM36
2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
6. Next click on Period Values
7. Select "Other Period"
8. Now give '15' for Minutes
9. Save the job
Procedure 2 via Program:
Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.
DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
JOBNAME = 'ZTEMP2'

OTHERS = 4.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

Thank you

Thanks for the Info.
But the situation that I am facing is.. I have a remote cube and the regular cube attached to a multiprovider which is used to reconcile BW report with that of R/3 tables.
When I execute the report in BW ... the data that is read from R3 tables ... it is under DIA process.
the time out is set to 20 minutes. and everytime the report is executed it is saying uncaught exceptiona and when I check in the log it says time exceeded.
Is there anyway that I can schedule the R/3 side job to a Background job (so that there would be no timeout).
I hope I am clear..
Please help me on this issue.

Avoid page break in back ground execution of report

Hi Friends,
Normally when we execute any report in back ground it will have page break. eg: FL3N
But we dont see this in foreground execution of a report.
may i know how to avoid this page break when we execute in background.
Thanks in advance

Hi Badari,
when you set the Background Job via SM36, you can mention the Variant. and set the time , so that the report will run for every 5 minutes with the mentioned variant. Check it.

What is back ground processing

what is difference between background and fore ground processing of a report. what are the various methods to execute a report in back ground. and when we need schedule a report in back ground how shall we handle selection screen parameters.
thanx in advance.

Hi,
Background Processing
There are two ways for you to handle,
one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
Find below steps in doing both:
Procedure 1:
1. Goto Trans -> SM36
2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
6. Next click on Period Values
7. Select "Other Period"
8. Now give '15' for Minutes
9. Save the job
In SM37 u can check the status of the jobs that u have assigned to background...
Here u mention the job name or the report name to check the status of the job...
After mentioning the job name or program name u just execute it.. ( without any name also u can execute then it gives u all the jobs set by your user name..
the status colud be released,active,finished etc..
Procedure 2 via Program:
Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.
DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
 L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
 CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
 EXPORTING
 JOBNAME = 'ZTEMP2'
 IMPORTING
 JOBCOUNT = P_JOBCNT
 EXCEPTIONS
 CANT_CREATE_JOB = 1
 INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2
 JOBNAME_MISSING = 3
 OTHERS = 4.
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 ENDIF.
 SUBMIT ZTEMP2 VIA JOB 'ZTEMP2' NUMBER P_JOBCNT
 TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
 WITH DESTINATION = 'HPMISPRT'
 WITH IMMEDIATELY = SPACE
 WITH KEEP_IN_SPOOL = 'X' AND RETURN.
 CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
 EXPORTING
 JOBCOUNT = P_JOBCNT
 JOBNAME = 'ZTEMP2'
 STRTIMMED = 'X'
 PRDMINS = 15
 IMPORTING
 JOB_WAS_RELEASED = L_RELEASE
 EXCEPTIONS
 CANT_START_IMMEDIATE = 1
 INVALID_STARTDATE = 2
 JOBNAME_MISSING = 3
 JOB_CLOSE_FAILED = 4
 JOB_NOSTEPS = 5
 JOB_NOTEX = 6
 LOCK_FAILED = 7
 INVALID_TARGET = 8
 OTHERS = 9.
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 ENDIF.
Hope the above helps you.
