Reports in Batch jobs

I want to schedule an R/3 report to run automatically overnight. I'm new to R/3 reports and have never done this before. Reports are already created, I just have to automate them. Please guide.
Thanks in advance.
Fran

You can create a batch job using transaction SM36. After putting in the job name and class (C-Low priority), press the Step icon. In this area, you define the program you want to execute. Select ABAP for an ABAP program. Put in the name of the ABAP program, the variant (if any), and save. Then update the Start conditions and you should be good to go.
Does this help?

You may need to activate some additional business content if not already installed but there are a lot BI statistics you can report on. Have a look at this:

PDF Report as batch job

Hi Experts!!
I am looking for solution for a report which will be executed at specific time/day everyweek automatically and
generate mulitple letters (PDF or DOC document). The letters will get data from the database i.e. cust#, name and
address.
I would like to know, how I can do from Apex.
Thanks in advance

Hi Dip,
you could create a PL/SQL Batchjob (e.g. DBMS_SCHEDULER), which runs whenever you need it (every day at 08:00, or every second day, once a week, whatever).
This Batchjob can call your Report via UTL_HTTP and store the result in a BLOB in one of your tables.
Now if you don't have a Reporting Solution yet, you can use either Oracle APEX Report Queries together with Oracle BI Publisher (which costs extra), or you take any other "free" Reporting tool, for example JasperReports.
If you plan on using JasperReports check Dietmar Aust's Integration Package: http://daust.blogspot.com/2010/01/jasper-reports-integration-beta-release.html

Run_report_object in forms10g: Reports Server only accept batch jobs

Hi all,
We've migrated an old forms application to forms 10g R1. To run report objects from the form applications, I use the following code to run reports with a report server (10g):
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'c:\path\to\report.rep'');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,ASYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver');
l_rep_return := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(l_rep_id, pl_id);
The parameter pl_id is a pre-filled parameter list, and the parameter l_rep_id is the report_object, which was added to the reports-node in the fmb.
By running this code, the reportserver successfully executes the report and via the report server queue I can open the created PDF file.
But, as the report_comm_mode is set to ASYNCHRONOUS, the code doesn't wait until the reportserver has finished the execution of the report, so it's impossible to show the report by web.show_document. So I've set the report_comm_mode to SYNCHRONOUS:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'c:\path\to\report.rep'');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(l_rep_id,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver');
l_rep_return := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(l_rep_id, pl_id);
But when I executes this code, the execution of the report failes, and the following error code is shown in the report server queue:
Terminated with error: REP-188: Reports Server only accept batch jobs
But as you can see, the execution_mode is set to BATCH, so that is not the problem.
Is there anyone who can help me to fix this problem?
Regards,
Jeroen

I just sent you an e-mail, I hope it helps!

Is there a way to access ABAP OO instances from a batch job report

Hello,
I am looking for a way to access ABAP OO instances from a batch job report. My circumstances are the following:
I have got some ABAP OO coding that identifies other objects (class instances) that have to be processed (they have a DoIt method that does some calculation). As this processing is time consuming and performace relevant I have to parallelize this in batch jobs. This batch jobs however can only be "simple" ABAP reports according to SM36. The problem is now that I dont really know how to tell the batch job report what objects to process. Somehow I have to access theses instances from that batch job report.
Does anybody have an idea?
Greetings
Matthias

Hi David,
thanks a lot for your help. After a lot of searching on the net this seems to be the only way to cope with it. However I am not sure about the locking mechanisms and if its suitable for mass data processing. In the help page you suggested the following is stated which I do not fully understand::
"The current lock logic does not enable you to set specific locks for the following requirements:
·        Many parallel read and write accesses
·        Frequent write accesses
·        Division into changeable and non-changeable areas
Although the lock logic makes the first two points technically possible, they are not practical because most accesses would be rejected."
Does this mean
a) if I dont want to set "specific locks" for frequent write accessess I am fine
or
b) I am discouraged from use shared memory technics for frequent write accessess?
In the latter case I will have a problem...
What do you think?

Automatically output report to excel from a batch job

We have business users who require that a standard report be run daily as a batch job and output to a printer, which is using a large pile of paper every day. I have challenged the rationale for this without success, and am trying to find a way to continue to run the batch job but output the report to an excel file and e-mail it to a manager. I know that this can be done by a good ABAP programmer, but I am trying to find a way to set up the batch job to do this without additional ABAP, as programming resources are very limited. I would appreciate input from anybody who knows how to do this.

Likely because your user is continuing to call the service in a Windows (classic) DOMAIN\username format, and not in the Claims identity it should be.

Batch Job to Create and Send Excel Reports Using!!!

Hello at all,
i have a Report which is created by an Query.
My question is, how can i know if this report have a batch-job in background or not??
I want to know if their is existing any job for this report???
OTHER QUESTION, is:
Is it possible to create a job for a Query-Report that is sending email in background??

Hi ETN_58,
in transaction SM37 you can look for jobs for a specific report using field "ABAP program name".
when you create a job in transaction SM36 you have a button for "Spool list recipient". Fill it out to distribute the spool generated by the jog to a distribution list or an email.

Edgar

Batch job in a report program

Hi Abappers,
I have a peculiar scenario.
My report has 2 PERFORMS lets say
PERFORM1:
PERFORM2:
I have a DATE criterion in PERFORM 1.
Based on that date only I have to execute my PERFORM2.
Ex:   The Date consideration is Suspension of a Contract Date: which is 01/12/2010.(dd/mm/yyyy)
Now based on the this date I have to execute the 2nd PERFORM.
I mean I have to create a Sales Order on this date only.
To summarize,Execution of a program in a future date whose date is dynamic in nature
Can i achieve this using a BATCH JOB.
Please tell me how to schedule a BATCH JOB for a future date.
Can i call a BATCH JOB froma REPORT.
Please your inputs shall be of great help to me in solving my problem.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Sakshi,
In that case of using the FM
g_date is sy-datum.
g_time is sy-uzeit.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
*   DELANFREP              = ' '
*   JOBGROUP               = ' '
    JOBNAME                = 'Z_BATCHJOB_TRGT'
    SDLSTRTDT              = g_date
   SDLSTRTTM               = g_time.
*   JOBCLASS               =
* IMPORTING
*   JOBCOUNT               =
* CHANGING
*   RET                    =
* 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.
In the above case how would the Job name get mapped to the Report. / Or / How can we assign the Job Name to the Report.
There is no scope of giving the Report name in the FM.
Can you please elucidate.(EXP parameters)
By the way Thanks for your quick response.
Thanks and Regards

I have some users who do certain work and then want to print an updated report. However they only have the report viewer. As they work at night, they can't ask me to refresh the report.

Is there a way to create a batch job that will automatically refresh the report?
Is there a command line interface to Crystal?
Has anyone got a suggestion for some other means of solving my problem?
Thanks.

are you using crystal enterprise as your portal? that has a scheduler.

DOS batch command to call Hyperion workspace reporting batch job

Hello,
Is there any method to call the batch job in hyperion workspace for exporting report ?
i would like to call the job batch by DOS batch. Is it possible?
thanks
Gary

An option is to look at the SDK and see if there is a way for you to make a Java call to do what you are trying to do.
The SDK is part of the Services Install Package.
I have used the SDK to make a call to the External Event Trigger.
You may want to look at the Hyperion Workspace Developer’s Guide

Batch Jobs for Reports?

Hi,
Is there a way to schedule the reports to run through a batch job in Production ? Say the job will run the report in the night so that the users can come and see it in the morning.
The report also prompts for selections / filters before it runs.
I am using SAP BW / Bex for reporting.
Any inputs on how to go about it would help.

Use Job wizered...........
enter job and server name...............     continue -
enter program name   RFDRRGEN
enter variant name SAP&VARI...............   press continue four times and complete.............
In the job selection check the status of your job and check the spool ..............   now your evaluation reports should work.......... but before generating batch job you should have completed the previous steps like OBAN and OBAJ.
