Running ABAP Report in background

Hello,
I am getting timed out error when I execute my report program.
I believd running the report can do it for now.
Can you please tell me detils on  how I should proceed on dev, qa and production environment.
Regards,
Sameer.

Hello Sameer,
You need to schedule the ABAP program in SM36 transaction.
Following are the steps:
1. Fill general data like Job Name, Job class and click on step button from application menu
2. Fill ABAP program details on this screen like ABAP Report Name, Variant Name (If any) and save it.
3. Go to SM37 transaction (Background Job monitor)
4. On initial screen newly created job will be filtered by user name or using job name.
5. it will be listed in job queue with Scheduled status.
6. Select the Job from listing and click on Release button from application toolbar
7. depending on your requirement you can release job immediately and it will start running as an when background wp is allocated to this job.
8. Or else you can schedule it with some frequency using other options like Date/Time, or using other events to trigger it.
Check if this can help.
Thanks,
Augustin.

  • CNTL_ERROR while running a report in background mode

    Hi,
    I am running a report in background on daily basis. I am using cl_gui_custom_container class here and calling the constructor of this class. I am getting a CNTL_ERROR exception at this point. But if i run the same report directly, it is not throwing any exception. The problem is if i schedule it to background. I am not able to sort it out. So please if any body knows, answer this.
    Thanks,
    Kumar

    Hi Nithin,
    I was facing the similar issue in a custom report program. I did apply the logic that you'd mentioned.
    I've implemented the code as below.
    IF  gr_container IS INITIAL.
    *** Check whether the program is run in batch or foreground
        IF CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>OFFLINE( ) IS INITIAL.
    * Run in foreground

    * Run in background
          CREATE OBJECT lv_grid
            EXPORTING

              RECEIVING
              container = m_splitter_right_part
            EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS    = 1.
    After I've implemented the above code I'm getting the following error in the batch job:
    Category               ABAP Programming Error
    Runtime Errors         OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED
    Except.                CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
    You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
    access a component (variable: "M_BASE_SPLITTER").
    An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)

    Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the

    Would you be able to help me in the above issue?

  • Error in Phase Run ABAP report

    Hi All,
    We are running an installation on I5/OS for ERP 6.0 EHP5. Installation is stucked at phase Run ABAP reports where it is trying to run RSWBOINS report and giving an error SQL error -7008. Log says ddic user is not able to login in the system and RFC all fails. However system is up and running fine.
    I checked number of notes 116192 but it did not help. One note says to upgrade the database library and we did the same but issue still remains. Anyone phase similar errors, Please suggest.
    Thanks
    Sunny

    Hi Sunny,
    it sounds like some tables are not journaled. You may want to try to run AS4FIXFILE DBLIB(R3<sid>DATA) STRJRN(*YES).
    If that does not help, I suggest to check SAP note 1387754, and to try the workaround described there, or to get the newest version of AS4FXIFILE and to try to run it again.
    Best regards,

  • Authorization object for running a report in background

    Good day experts,
    I tried running a report in background, I choose immediately so that it doesn't have to be scheduled. But when I checked it in my own jobs, It remains at scheduled status. When I tried it on my admin account, It works and with status finished. It seems to be an authorization problem. What object could I be missing with my user account? I tried S_TCODE SMX and SP02 but still not working.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi karshbax,
    What you're looking for is authorization object S_BTCH_JOB. You need authorization for field JOBACTION = RELE.
    In future use transaction SU53. It shows last error authorization error, so if this is authorization problem then after try of manual releasing of job you'll find in SU53 precise info what went wrong.
    Best Regards

    Hello Amélie,
    Check the file systems if you're not ran out of disk space.
    Second, check the database if you've enough storage space left.
    Hope it helps.

  • 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

    hi all
    can we run alv reports in background

    Hi
    Yes You can
    see this
    Many a times there is a requirement to display ALV Grid (not ALV List) in the background Job. I have checked the SDN Forum for the same and it has been mentioned that ALV Grid cannot be displayed in Background, but the list output of ALV is possible. So user won’t have the actual Grid interface but the List interface.
    There is a workaround to display ALV Grid in Background Job. The only restriction is you can’t schedule the job through SM36. You need to execute the transaction of the report program, fill in the selection screen data and hit Execute.
    The job would be executed in background. User will be able to see the Job Log and Job Status after executing the program. User doesn’t have to go to SM37 to view the job status/log. Once the Job Status is changed to “COMPLETED”, user can click on “DISPLAY SPOOL” to view the ALV Grid.
    Limitations:
    Can’t schedulea background job
    The session should be active until the background job is completed. If the session is closed, then user won’t be able to check the output in ALV Grid. User would be able to check the output through spool or SM37
    Advantages:
    If the spool width is greater than 255 characters, then the entire width could be seen in the output because the output is directed to an ALV Grid and not to spool
    Interface of ALV Grid is available instead of ALV List even though it’s a background job.
    Program won’t give the TIME OUT error
    Steps Required:
    1. Once you execute the program, the following screen would be displayed
    2. Click “Display Job Status” to check the Status of the Background Job
    3. Click on “Display the Job Log” to check the Log
    4. Click on “Display Job Status” to check the Job Status
    5. Click on “DISPLAY SPOOL” to check the spool content once the Job Status is changed to “COMPLETED”. Output is displayed in ALV Grid
    Programs:
    1.  Two different programs needs to be created
    ZPROGRAM_ONE: This is the 1st program, where the selection screen and all the data validations would be done. Error handling for invalid data should be done in this program.
    Once the data validation is done, this program would call the 2nd program ZPROGEAM_TWO. Build the logic to display ALV Grid in this program. The logic will only display ALV in foreground and it won’t be reflected in the spool.
    ZPROGRAM_TWO: This program would fetch all the data and do all the processing. If you want the spool output along with ALV Grid output, then build the logic in this program to display ALV Grid.

  • How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

    1.  I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
    I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time.  However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up.  I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
    Example.  cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc.  If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine.  But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
    We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW.  I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
    2.  In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions.  They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out.  I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month.  But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
    3.  There is another piece to this equation as well.  There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long.  So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically.  If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful.  I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well.  The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id.  We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

    Kim,
    I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what  typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much  there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
    In regards to point 1, yes,  I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that  made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead  of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300,  the groups are have  listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of  this option is  that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
    In regards to point 2,  I understand from your note  that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant  attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated,  it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Running ALV REPORT in background

    Hi Experts ,
    Before writing this query , i went through all the threads related to ALV report in background . But found none of them satisfactory .
    I am running a alv report in background . I am not using OO ALV . I am using " REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" .
    This report is schedules through a background job . It is creating a spool .
    But I am getting a error message : *" FRONT END NOT AVIALABLE "*
    What i have found so far :
    I am planning to use sy-batch variable to check whether it is running in background or not , Then I am planning to read  the spool and if the spool is created , i will display the ALV .
    Is this the correct approach or some other way to generate the ALV REPORT .
    Also by this way will the error message *" FRONT END NOT AVIALABLE "* go .
    Please advice .
    Regards,
    Abhishek

    Hello Everyone ,
    Thanks for your replies .
    I have the spool generated . But it is waiting status .
    The issue here is how I am going to say that the spool is in " Completed " status . Because only after when my spool is in completed status , I want to display the status .
    Is there way for this ?
    Regards ,

  • Regarding running a report in background and generate spool

    Hi,
    I am developing a report [<b>REPORT1</b>].
    It is taking long to execute if data is more.
    Now i want to schedule this report in background and generate spool along with.
    So once i execute REPORT1 it should run in background & generate spool?
    Can anybody give inputs for the same!
    Thanks,
    Deep.

    Hi,
              to generate spool, use below code
    FORM create_spool .
    CONSTANTS : l_c_device(4) VALUE 'LOCL'.
    Create Spool Request
    NEW-PAGE PRINT ON
    LINE-SIZE 120
    DESTINATION l_c_device
    IMMEDIATELY ' '
    KEEP IN SPOOL 'X'
    NEW LIST IDENTIFICATION 'X'
    NO DIALOG.
    ENDFORM. " create_spool
    And after createing spool to get the spool number use below code,
    FORM obtain_spool_id .
    TYPES : BEGIN OF t_tsp01,
    rqident TYPE tsp01-rqident,
    rqowner TYPE tsp01-rqowner,
    END OF t_tsp01.
    DATA : it_tsp01 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_tsp01,
    wa_tsp01 LIKE LINE OF it_tsp01.
    SELECT rqident
    rqowner
    FROM tsp01
    INTO TABLE it_tsp01
    WHERE rqowner = sy-uname.
    SORT it_tsp01 BY rqident DESCENDING.
    READ TABLE it_tsp01 INTO wa_tsp01 INDEX 1.
    IF sy-subrc = 0 .
    v_spool_nr = wa_tsp01-rqident.
    ENDIF.
    Capture the immediate spool created for this report
    v_spool_nr = sy-spono.
