Report Execution in Background

Hi
Our clients wants to know if this can be done in BI
Can we execute reports automatically in background at every morning 8:30am and then automatically email then to the users?
We are on BI 7.0 version.
I think in earlier version we had something called "Reporting Agent" but now we dont have that option...So how to achieve this functionality?
Regards
Annie

COPA Report - Execution in Background

Friends,
We have a COPA report that takes very long time to execute. For this reason the user wants to schedule the report such that it executes in the background at month-end.
In order to test the scheduling of the report execution in background in Development system, I followed the following steps:
1) Selected the report to be executed using the t-code KE30.
2) Clicked on Report - Execute in background.
3) Filled in the execution parameters and since I did not want the print of the report, I ticked the checkbox 'Rebuild frozen report data' (I was getting the error message "Select either 'Print' or 'Save'".
4) Executed the report by pressing F8. I got the message 'Report data for the report saved'.
My question is how to view the report on screen when the report is executed in background?
Please advise at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards,
Sameer S. Gupte

You cannot see this data as it is.
When you see the message 'Report data for the report saved'. It means that the system has performed a kind of summarization for the selection criteria you have entered. This is performance enhancement tool.
So you have to run the report again to view this report; but this time choose the option Read saved Data for the Read Mode under Status of Data. You can get to the see report output fairly quick.
SAP documnetation reads thus " <b>You create report-specific frozen report data by executing the report in the background and by choosing the Rebuild frozen report data option in the selection. When you call up the report again using the same selection, you have the option of displaying this frozen report data. If you would like more up-to-date frozen report data, you need to create this data again."</b>
Good luck.

How to Run a Report automatically in Background for every night

Hi,
How to run a report program in Background automatically for every nigh.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
You can use SM36 and use the "Job Wizard" to define a background job in simple step by step procedure
Or
Goto SM37 and specify a job name.
Next specify the ABAP Program Name of the report you want to execute under Job Step.
Then click on "Extended Job Selection" and goto the Period Tab.
There select "Only Periodic Jobs" and then specify the frequency of execution based on Months, Weeks, Days, Hours or Minutes.
Hope this helps,

Why do I get a status of 'waiting' when I run a report in the background

Happy new Year Experts!!
I am working with Ad-hoc query and I run reports in the background. When I go to System > Own Spool Requests the status is always waiting. When I go to SM37 the status is complete. I can open the report from my own spools requests and it is completed.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jeanette

Go to SM36-> Own jobs - double click the job - Select Edit-Steps - DOuble click the step and check print specifications.
Moreover, if you wanna make the job printed on finish, make sure that there is a default printer defined in SU3 - Defaults - Output device field.

Schedule measurement in SE30 - running a report in the background

Dear experts,
I have a long running ABAP report and I will need to analyze its runtime for performance improvements.
How may I correctly run this ABAP report in the background from SE30 (runtime analysis tool)? The report has to be run using a specific variant for its selection screen inputs as well.
This is what I have done:
1. Go to SE30
2. Click on "For User/Service" button under "Schedule"
3. Create new Schedule Measurement with the following details:-
- User (<my user name>),
- Client (<properly specified>),
- External Session (Any),
- Processing Category (Background Processing),
- Object Type (Report),
- Object Name (<ABAP report program name>),
- Max. No. of Scheduled Measurements (1),
- Expiration Date & Time (<properly specified>)
5. In the screen "Overview of Scheduled Measurements", I have the following displayed as well:-
- Scheduled = 1
- Started = 0
- Errors = 0
- Status = Being processed
Am I still on the right track here? (Started = 0 and there was no way I could specify the variant for the selection screen input values too)
Please help. Appreciate any inputs at all.
Thanks.

Hi,
you can try it with ST12 and the <ALL Servers> Option for tasktype B.
see this blog:
/people/hermann.gahm/blog/2010/03/22/st12-150-tracing-user-requests-tasks-http
ST12 uses SE30 / ST05 behind the covers. But here you can switch on
the trace for all servers and therefore don't have to take care for that yourself.
Kind regards,
Hermann

GUI_* WS_* Function In Background, CSV Upload
GUI_* and WS_* function modules do not work in background
When scheduling a job in the background the appropriate statement to read in your file is OPEN DATASET, and the file must be on the file system that the SAP server can see.
At anytime, a user can switch of the Personal Computers even though the job is still running in the background. Therefore GUI_* and WS_* function modules are not designed to work in that way, as they need to access your personal computer file.
To choose the correct download method to used, you can check the value of SY-BATCH in your code,
if it is 'X' use OPEN DATASET and if it is ' ' use WS_UPLOAD.
*-- Open dataset for reading
DATA:
dsn(20) VALUE '/usr/test.dat',
rec(80).
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
DO.
    READ DATASET dsn INTO rec.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
      WRITE / rec.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET dsn.
*-- Open dataset for writing
DATA rec(80).
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
TRANSFER rec TO '/usr/test.dat'.
CLOSE DATASET dsn.
What is the difference when we use upload, ws_upload, gui_upload function modules?
UPLOAD, WS_UPLOAD, GUI_UPLOAD, are used in BDC concepts. ie., Batch Data Communication.
Batch Data Conversion is a concept where user can transfer the Data from non SAP to SAP R/3. So , in these various Function Modules are used.
UPLOAD--- upload a file to the presentation server (PC)
WS_UPLOAD----    Load Files from the Presentation Server to Internal ABAP Tables.
WS means Work Station.
This is used upto SAP 4.6 version.
GUI_UPLOAD-------    Replaces WS_UPLOAD. Upoad file from presentation server to the app server. From 4.7 SAP version it is replaced.
How to Upload csv file to SAP?
Common File Download Upload Questions:
How you upload the data from text file to sap internal table? From my knowledge its by upload or gui_upload.
How you download the data from sap internal table to text file?
How you upload the data from xls (excel) file to sap internal table how you download the data from sap internal table to xls(excel) file.
You can upload data from presentation server to an internal table using gui_upload. Use gui_download to download from internal table to flat file.
Use fm ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE to upload data frm excel.
Use function module GUI_UPLOAD

Discrepancy in report execution duration

Hello,
Everyday we are executing audit reports which tells us report execution time for all our daily scheduled reports. Here we have observed some discrepancy between the time shown in the instance history verses auditing report's data. For example, if XYZ report took 120 seconds to execute, our auditing report shows 110 seconds only (-10 sec difference); however instance status in report history shows 120 sec only.
Here are environment details:
Product: SAP BI 4.0 SP6 Patch 6
Server OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
CMS DB: Oracle 11g R2
Auditing DB: Oracle 11g R2
We would like to know why there is a difference? Please advise!

Reporting Services R2 log entries have stopped generating on report execution.

Hi -
I have a new instance of a reporting server and the log files have quit generating on report execution.
When the services restart this is the log file:
rshost!rshost!8e8!01/22/2014-17:08:33:: i INFO: CLR runtime is initialized.
rshost!rshost!8e8!01/22/2014-17:08:33:: i INFO: Derived memory configuration based on physical memory as 3931704 KB
rshost!rshost!8e8!01/22/2014-17:08:33:: w WARN: Failed to initialize performance counters: ffffffff. Possible setup issue.
rshost!rshost!8e8!01/22/2014-17:08:33:: e ERROR: Failed to start service, error=1063.
We have logging turned on on the server. Report Server Mode is Native. Dont see anything in the application log about failed service.
Any ideas?

Hi dwrco,
Have you recently install any update such as MS12-070 (KB2716440)? If so, it is a known issue for some patches for SQL Server. The reason is as follows:
When a .NET application starts up, the .NET Framework tries to check if the Microsoft assemblies are right and have not been modified, this is done through connecting to a server that has a revocation list in internet. When the framework tries to connect
to the server to check if it has access to internet with an elevated timeout, this makes that any other .NET application that has less timeout setting fails (such as SSIS or SSRS) with timeout error.
For example, the error message "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion." means that the SSRS timeout is lower than the timeout of the connection to the revoke list server established by .NET Framework.
To work around the issue, we usually use two approaches:
Increase the value of ServicesPipeTimeout registry key of Reporting Services
Disable generatePublisherEvidence element of ReportingServicesService.exe.config file
For the detailed steps, please see:

Oracle Apps - How to create a table before report execution?

Hi,
I'm new to oracle apps, I created a procedure to get some values for a report and created a query to get the remaining values. Now I need to populate those values into a temporary table and after the report execution I have to delete the table. In apps there is no before parameter form. If any one can help me, that will great.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Do you really need to create a table INSIDE the report? It doesn't look like a good idea to me. For instance, what happens if 2 users try to execute the report at the same time? I would create a global temporary table before any execution of the report, and then I would just populate the data in the table in the 'Before Report' trigger. The data in a global temporary table is only visible at session level, so you wouldn't have any problems with multiple users executing the report at the same time and the data disappears once you finish your session, so you don't need to take care of deleting the data.
Hope it helps.

Report execution time should displayed in Local Time

Hi,
I have a query related to the Report execution time.
Our SAP Servers are available in US. The Servers are configured in US Time.
We have developed a Z report and used SY-UZEIT to display the Report Run Time.
we also have a plant in India.
When we execute this report for India Plant we are getting the execution run time for US.
But we need to get the run time in India Time.
Please help ASAP.
Regards,
Shankar

Hi Shankaran,
In your Z report, give a condition to check if the Plant is in India. If it is in india, then get SY-UZEIT and add the time difference to get IST.
Display this time on your report.
For implementing this, you will have to convert the Date and Time into Timestamp (use FM "LXHME_TIMESTAMP_CONVERT_INTO"), add the Time to this Time stamp (use FM "TIMESTAMP_DURATION_ADD" and convert it back to Date and Time (use FM "LXHME_TIMESTAMP_CONVERT_FROM").
Reward points if useful.

Report Execution time in NQQuery.log should be display in Milliseconds

Report Execution time in NQQuery.log should be display in Milliseconds.
For Example :
--- Logical Query Summary Stats: Elapsed time 0, Response time 0, Compilation time 0 (seconds)
Can we see the logical Query Summary Stats in milliseconds?
If so Where should i cofigure to populate this.

No. If you query comes in less that 1 second then you got nothing to worry about. I haven't seen a single DWH where users would worry about queries returning in milliseconds.
