Problems with background job

Hi,
I have problems when creating a job that is supposed to be run once in background. I use the common steps as described below. My problem is that the report is executed twice.
- First it is executed synchronously when the job is created
- Then it is executed in the normal job step as I want it to do
I don't want it to be executed the first time because it creates data!!!
Code:
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
     EXPORTING
          jobname = w_jobid
     IMPORTING
          jobcount = w_jobnr
          sdlstrtdt = sy-datum
          sdlstrttm = sy-uzeit.
SUBMIT (p_prog)
WITH p_idocnr = p_idocno
           USER            p_user
           VIA   JOB       w_jobid
                 NUMBER w_jobnr
                 AND       RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
     EXPORTING
          jobcount         = w_jobnr
          jobname          = w_jobid
          strtimmed        = 'X'
     IMPORTING
          job_was_released = w_jobrel.
Does anyone have a clue of what I should do to prevent this?
// Regards Hans

Hi again,
1. U are right.
2. It will happen if we use SUBMIT.
3. As per the help documentation,
it will run the program in separate session,
( as soon as submit statement comes)
4. and run the INITIALIZATION event.
The VIA JOB addition also loads the program accessed in a separate internal mode when the SUBMIT statement is executed and the system performs all the steps specified before START-OF-SELECTION. This means the events LOAD-OF-PROGRAM and INITIALIZATION are triggered and selection screen processing is performed. If the selection screen is not processed in the background when VIA SELECTION-SCREEN is specified, the user of the calling program can eidit it and schedule the program accessed in the background request using the function Place in Job. If the user cancels selection screen processing, the program is not scheduled in the background job. In both cases, execution of the program executed is completed after selection screen processing and the system returns to the calling program due to the AND RETURN statement.

amit m.

Problem in Background Job. Job Completed Successfully but data not Posted

Hi All,
There is a problem in Background Job in Production server (600).
The job completed successfully but data not posted.
The same Job was working perfectly till the starting of the May month.
but now it is not working and rebate has not been posted.
Where to check and what to check
Pls suggest.
Regards,
P Kamal

Hi ,
Please first check the status of the Job , ifs successfully completed then debug it (tcode JDBG) and
check out, whether the values passed (might be using Import-export ,set-get parameter Ids) to the Job are getting passed properly or not. These values might not be getting passed properly.
If it has some error in Job Log then let me know the error.

Problems creating background job for program (job open, submit and close)

Hi gurus,
im trying to start a background job using the FM BP_START_DATE_EDITOR to show the start date to the job or if it's imediate. this FM it's working fine, after call it im opening a job, submiting it and call the job close FM and the job close FM creates me the job.
The problem it's when i go to the sm37 to see the job status the job has been canceled, and the job log says that i have to give a start date to the job.
What i dont understand it's either the job is imediate or i choose a date to start the job always gives me this error...

Scheduling of process chain with background job

Hello All,
I have scheduled the process chains through background jobs. I have copied the meta chain and created seven background jobs that is from Monday till sunday. The problem is most frequently the job gets cancelled with the message
Process CHAIN, variant PAA1_GS001 is not scheduled waiting for event RSPROCESS 44NRPDWZ7CQUJ92ATDTY6368H.
This is the variant for the next process after the start process. I tried by giving merge active versions, but one day the background job runs fine , but the next day it gets cancelled.
If anyone has faced this issue before kindly let me know.
Regards,
Karthik.

Hi,
It seems to be there may be in probelm in Varients, so create a separate Varient for each PC and then activate the PC and execute.

QA Approval - importing queue with background jobs

Hi all,
I have activated the QA approval in my system and it all works fine. I have scheduled a background job via STMS to import the whole test system buffer each day and this works fine too. Now I want to schedule a background job to import the production buffer automatically too. This would allow us to have all approved transports automatically imported once a day (as QA approval is activated only approved transports would be imported).
Sounds simple, but with QA approval the production buffer displays approved and non-approved requests, so the background job fails as not all transports in the buffer are in the correct status.
Any suggestions on how I can get around this problem?
Thanks
Claire.

Hello Claire,
This issue has been described in SAP Note 313991. please check.

Problem with Background image and JFrame

Hi there!
I've the following problem:
I created a JFrame with an integrated JPanel. In this JFrame I display a background image. Therefore I've used my own contentPane:
public class MContentPane extends JComponent{
private Image backgroundImage = null;
public MContentPane() {
super();
* Returns the background image
* @return Background image
public Image getBackgroundImage() {
return backgroundImage;
* Sets the background image
* @param backgroundImage Background image
public void setBackgroundImage(Image backgroundImage) {
this.backgroundImage = backgroundImage;
* Overrides the painting to display a background image
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
if (isOpaque()) {
g.setColor(getBackground());
g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
if (backgroundImage != null) {
g.drawImage(backgroundImage,0,0,this);
super.paintComponent(g);
Now the background image displays correct. But as soon as I click on some combobox that is placed within the integrated JPanel I see fractals of the opened combobox on the background. When I minimize
the Frame they disappear. Sometimes though I get also some fractals when resizing the JFrame.
It seems there is some problem with the redrawing of the background e.g. it doesn't get redrawn as often as it should be!?
Could anyone give me some hint, on how to achieve a clear background after clicking some combobox?
Thx in advance

I still prefer using a border to draw a background image:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class CentredBackgroundBorder implements Border {
    private final BufferedImage image;
    public CentredBackgroundBorder(BufferedImage image) {
        this.image = image;
    public void paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
        int x0 = x + (width-image.getWidth())/2;
        int y0 = y + (height-image.getHeight())/2;
        g. drawImage(image, x0, y0, null);
    public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c) {
        return new Insets(0,0,0,0);
    public boolean isBorderOpaque() {
        return true;
}And here is a demo where I load the background image asynchronously, so that I can launch the GUI before the image is done loading. Warning: you may find the image disturbing...
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class BackgroundBorderExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        JFrame f = new JFrame("BackgroundBorderExample");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JTextArea area = new JTextArea(24,80);
        area.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
        area.setOpaque(false);
        area.read(new FileReader(new File("BackgroundBorderExample.java")), null);
        final JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(area);
        sp.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        sp.getViewport().setOpaque(false);
        f.getContentPane().add(sp);
        f.setSize(600,400);
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
        String url = "http://today.java.net/jag/bio/JagHeadshot.jpg";
        final Border bkgrnd = new CentredBackgroundBorder(ImageIO.read(new URL(url)));
        Runnable r = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                sp.setViewportBorder(bkgrnd);
                sp.repaint();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);

File path problem in background job spool

Hello ,
i have probelm in file path of the background job in spool.
i have selection screen
Radiobutton : p_local
parameter: path1.
Radibutton: p_applicatioserver
parameter: path2.
if i keep program in background job, it will alwas take second option.
Now user selected first option and executed job in abckground. File stored in the spplication server with corect file path name. (path2)
But when i go to sm37 entered job name and checked the spool, it gives me the file path name path1. but i need the file path1 in the background spool. my question whether i need to change the file path name in program or whether i have to change the setting
Regards,
zub

First of all, local is not an option in background job; you can only save to the apps server, and your program should take that into consideration by checking for sy-batch = 'X', for example. You should be checking in your at selection-screen to be sure the user has not chosen local path and file and background job.

Issue with background job--taking more time

Hi,
We have a custom program which runs as the background job. It runs every 2 hours.
Itu2019s taking more time than expected on ECC6 SR2 & SR3 on Oracle 10.2.0.4. We found that it taking more time while executing native SQL on DBA_EXTENTS. When we tried to fetch less number of records from DBA_EXTENTS, it works fine.
But we need the program to fetch all the records.
But it works fine on ECC5 on 10.2.0.2 & 10.2.0.4.
Here is the SQL statement:
EXEC SQL PERFORMING SAP_GET_EXT_PERF.
SELECT OWNER, SEGMENT_NAME, PARTITION_NAME,
         SEGMENT_TYPE, TABLESPACE_NAME,
         EXTENT_ID, FILE_ID, BLOCK_ID, BYTES
   FROM SYS.DBA_EXTENTS
   WHERE OWNER LIKE 'SAP%'
   INTO
   : EXTENTS_TBL-OWNER, :EXTENTS_TBL-SEGMENT_NAME,
   :EXTENTS_TBL-PARTITION_NAME,
   :EXTENTS_TBL-SEGMENT_TYPE , :EXTENTS_TBL-TABLESPACE_NAME,
   :EXTENTS_TBL-EXTENT_ID, :EXTENTS_TBL-FILE_ID,
   :EXTENTS_TBL-BLOCK_ID, :EXTENTS_TBL-BYTES
ENDEXEC.
Can somebody suggest what has to be done?
Has something changed in SAP7 (wrt background job etc) or do we need to fine tune the SQL statement?
Regards,
Vivdha

Hi,
there was an issue with LMT's but that was fixed in 10.2.0.4
besides missing system statistics:
But WHY do you collect every 2 hours this information? The dba_extents view is based on really heavy used system tables.
Normally , you would start queries of this type against dba_extents ie. to identify corrupt blocks and such:
SELECT owner , segment_name , segment_type
        FROM dba_extents
       WHERE file_id = &AFN
         AND &BLOCKNO BETWEEN block_id AND block_id + blocks -1
Not sure what you want to achieve with it.
There are monitoring tools (OEM ?) around that may cover your needs.
Bye

SAP BW : Problem with precalculation job on WebTemplate depending on user

Hi experts,
We have a problem with the precalculation job on WebTemplate. When we schedule this job with a specific user, the job run normally and precalculation is done on step 3 :
Step 003 started (program RSRA_JOB, variant , user ID E0126831)
Start package ZBWP_SCHEDULE_TEMPLATE
- Start setting ZBWP_WAD_001 with variant -
Precalculation: initialization started
Precalculation: processing started
Precalculate data (fill DataStore)
Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_1, query ZBWP_IS01_001
Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_10, query ZBWPM_016
Processing data provider DATAPROVIDER_11, query ZBWPM_016
But when we change the user to a technical user (like BATCH or ALEREMOTE which have the profile SAP ALL ), the job don't do any precalculation in step 3 :
Step 003 started (program RSRA_JOB, variant , user ID ALEREMOTE)
Start package ZBWP_SCHEDULE_TEMPLATE
- Start setting ZBWP_WAD_001 with variant -
Implementing settings finished
Did you have an idea for this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Mathieu

The problem with Complex Job Manager in Business Connector.

Hi,
I have a problem with the service "Complex Job Manager" in Business Connector.
Sometimes this service hangs and a minus value (such as -83452 sec) appears in the column "Next run".
What can I improve?
I have BC ver. 4.7 with CoreFix 9, Java ver. 1.3.1 (46.0), system AIX.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Robert

Sorry, Raja.
I saw many questions about Business Connector in this category (Process Integration) and I thought that is a right place for my question.
In your opinion, where is a better place for my question?

Problem with database job

Good day.
I am trying to help our DBA figure out the problem with the database job that I created. It runs perfectly in the database which we use for development purposes. However, when we put the job in the production database, we encountered some problems.
The first problem we encountered was this: after the job executed at the scheduled time, the NEXT_DATE field for that job becomes 00/00/0000.
After our DBA tinkered with some parameters in the db config, the next problem we encountered was this: the job executed every minute even if the interval specified is for it to execute once a day, everyday.
We still have not resolved any of these problems. I am just doing a workaround, a manual one, just so we could proceed with our processing.
Btw, we are using Oracle8.
Thanks so much.

Hello there.
This is the code I used to submit the job:
DBMS_JOB.ISUBMIT (1, 'my_storedproc;', trunc(SYSDATE)+(13.5/24), 'trunc(SYSDATE)+1+(13.5/24)', TRUE);
Using Toad, I got these parameters pertaining to db job:
job_queue_interval=60
job_queue_keep_connections=FALSE
job_queue_processes=8
Any feedback?
Thanks again.
