Running background reports

guys,i need to run background reports and want the outcome in a soft copy....can you provide the printer settings for this? When I look up /Nsp01 I get a message WAITING and when I checkup /nSM37, I get the msg FINISHED.......I suspect something is wrong with the printer settings....

GL account balance when running background report

Hi Friends,
I run a report in background to fetch GL acct balance (using FAGLL03) and choose particular "doc type" using dynamic selections
the doc type does not reflect in the report that is getting generated. also few other columns which i get to see in a foreground run are missing.
nor am i able to choose layout.
bascially i need to see the reports in same fashion as it were during regular execution and choose various layouts based on needs.
is there a way that i can even choose the layout of background report before executing it in background
Many thanks
Sanjay

Hi,
In the selection screen of FAGLL03, give the "layout" in the bottom and then execute in background.
Then the spool with get the output in that layout format.

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.

    ELSE.
* Run in background
      CREATE OBJECT lv_grid
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = gr_dockcontainer.
      ENDIF.

          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)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
Would you be able to help me in the above issue?

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.

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

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

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

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

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,
Regards,

Hi,
Try to see this example and adapt it for your case:
constants :   c_jobname like tbtcjob-jobname value 'ZRFC_CM_38',
              c_jobclass like tbtcjob-jobclass value 'A',
              c_x        type c                value 'X',
              c_msgclass type arbgb            value 'ZXXXSD',
              c_error    type bapi_mtype       value 'E',
              c_status   type bapi_mtype       value 'S',
              c_msg1     type msgnr            value '177',
              c_msg2     type msgnr            value '178'.

if sy-subrc = 0.
Assignment of Ranges
    append lines of:

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.
