Report in background using cl_gui_frontend_services= gui_download Method

Hello all,
I'm trying to run a report that uses the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download in background mode, to export data from an internal table to a xml file.
In foreground everything works fine, but when I try to run the report in background the execution stops when the method is called. Does anyone know how to avoid this problem and run the report in background mode?
Thanks in advance,
Nuno A.

Hi,
For background processing you need to use syntax
OPEN DATASET
ld_file = p_infile.
OPEN DATASET ld_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
ELSE.
DO.
    CLEAR: wa_string, wa_uploadtxt.
    READ DATASET ld_file INTO wa_string.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
      SPLIT wa_string AT con_tab INTO wa_uploadtxt-name1
                                      wa_uploadtxt-name2
                                      wa_uploadtxt-age.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_uploadtxt TO wa_upload.
      APPEND wa_upload TO it_record.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET ld_file.
ENDIF.

Run report in background using transaction launcher

Hi ,
I need to run my zreport using transaction launcher in background....
anybody please help.
Ruchi

Hello
I agree with Andrei. Transaction Launcher is intended for front office operations with agents, not for basis tasks which must be performed by consultants with SAPGui access.
Anyway, you can launch your transaction and try to see if it works with background processing, but that is not what transaction launcher is intended for.

Running the ALV report in Background using layout variant

Hello Everyone,
I am facing a problem in downloading a text file to the Application server.
My requirement is, when the user downloads a file with the layout variant, the file should have only the columns which was selected in the variant.
Can anybody give me a optimized solution for this issue.
Regards,
Vasanth

Hi,
How are you downloading the file to the app server, using which internal table? How are you building that internal table?
What you need to do is to build a internal table dynamically with only those columns that are a part of the layout variant. Then move the data from the original internal table into this and then download the dynamica internal table to the app server.

Ravi

To run a report in background in selection screen using a new button

hi friends iam new member to this site
nice to meet u all
i want to run a report in background using the selection screen of the same report and i want to keep a button in application tool bar.
after enter the values in the selection screen by clicking that button it should move to the screen which we get generally by menu option
program-->execute in background
and by entering the output device and start condition it should be scheduled in the background.
with job_open,job_submit and job_close we need variants.
for this i tried through bp_jobvariant_schedule and
bp_jobvariant_overview but with this we can run with variants only
but the user wants to enter the values in selection screen and need a button to run background
ok friends i think u understood me
please inform soon ok bye have a nice time

Hi Jagadish
There are two ways for you to handle the situation.
1. Train the users to enter the values in selection screen and manually go for backgroung scheduling.
2. Use At user command and within that basing on the option selection selected, use FM:JOB_OPEN with sy-repid get the job number, submit the program with the values on the selection screen and lastly executing FM: JOB_CLOSE with the job number from JOB_OPEN and SY-REPID.
Note that you have to set 'X' for export parameter something like startimmed while calling FM: JOB_CLOSE for immediate execution. Am not on SAP to give you the exact parameter.
Hope the above info helps you.
Kind Regards

Cl_gui_frontend_services= gui_download without carriage return

Hi,
Is there a way to get download a file to PC that way, that in the end of every lines there is a carriege return character except the last one? (Special format required by az external bank application)
I tried to add carriage return to every lines, except the last one and use cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
Although the "write_lf" parameter is set to space, the # is still inserted in the end of the last lines.
Any suggestion, idea?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Hi
When second time you call method just add the following
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
     EXPORTING
       filename                  = v_value
       append                    = 'X'        <------- Just add this line

ALV Report In Background.. Generating same out put using ABAP Extracts

Hi
We are running ALV reports and generating out put in background using Extracts. We are having a discussion that SAP doesnt recommend to execute ALV reports using batch and generate report output , as it heavily load for spool ... we are coming across some problem when I analyze Sm37 ... I found an error " ABAP framework unable to initialize " .
I want an input/suggestion what you guys think about it?
Thanks in Advanced...
Bye

Nope... Were using some batch id which use to run background job, as I am also in SAP Security, I just verify it has all the security to run the report . As this report is running fine if we ran it other then batch id ... as before it was running fine .
Thanks

Cl_gui_frontend_services= gui_download - wrong behaviour with Windows UAC

Hello,
we are using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download to store files on the presentation front end (Windows Vista with UAC).
When the user has no windows rights to the target directory and UAC is active, then the method gui_download stores the file in other directory (C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows) and returns with sy-subrc = 0.
In our opinion this is a critical problem but SAP doesn't want to correct it.
What do you think about it?
regards,
Kris

Hello kpsgoutam ,
thank you for your post but it's not an answer for my question. I know how to use 'gui_dowload'. The problem is, it works wrong with UAC and target directory, where you have no rights to write the file.
Consider following code:
REPORT ztest.
DATA:
" to reproduce the problem the UAC must be active
" and you can't have write rights to the target directory
lv_filename TYPE string VALUE 'c:\windows\test.txt',
lt_data     TYPE TABLE of string,
lv_data     TYPE string,
lv_outlen   TYPE i.
lv_data = 'Some test content'.
