Running job along with variant programatically

Hai,
I have to run a report (which have selection screen) through job from the module pool program.
that is the user will click on a button which triggers the execution of the report in back ground.
this report have a selection screen.I am creating the variant programatically & I have to use the same varinat in the job.But when I checked the job_open fm , it is not taking any input parametrs for variant.
please note creating the variant & job before the execution of the module pool program is not possible because I have to ceate the variant with the values from the module pool screen & I need to use the job
because the foreground process takes huge amount of time hence going for back ground.
can any one please tell how to cretae a job with varinat programatically?
creating a job with out variant is possible through job_open but I want to create a job with variant so that I can run the repor from module pool.
please give your ideas.
Regards,
Bhaskar.

Hello,
after the function JOB_OPEN you could use the submit_statment.
submit <Reportname> user <user> via job <jobname> number <jobnumber> using selection-set <variant>.
the jobname and jobnumber you would get from the JOB_OPEN-Function.
At last there would be a call function JOB_CLOSE or JOB_SUBMIT.

Background Job assigment with variant in SM37 , for Textfile uploading

Dear all,
Im using the BAPI_PO_CHANGE to update the existing schedule dates in Purchase Orders,
for this the po's , item, schedules, delivery dates(Need to update) from a Textfile into the internal table
and passing that data to bapi function module, it works fi9 in foreground and the output is a classical report
with Corresponding messages through RETURN.
i need the same to run in background with a variant, but after assigning the background job in SM36,
i found that the job assigned got CANCELLED in SM37.
I hope everything is clear, so kindly revert back with solution.
Regards,
Niranjan.G

Hi,
You should understand that background job will be executed in application server and there will be no gui or access to presentation server available.
You should upload your file to application server through tcode CG3Z.
See F1 help for OPEN DATASET / Search SCN for sample codes for OPEN DATASET.
You should change the code so that it can be run in both modes using the system variable SY-BATCH.
If it is space use GUI_UPLOAD, if it is X use OPEN DATASET.

Background Job Scheduling with variants in IS - Public sector

Hi,
We run auto write off using scheduled job activity (SM37 -Program : RFKK_MA_SCHEDULER). There is an variant containing Main Transactions that needs to be included / excluded for write off.
The variant values are changed / updated with additional main transactions and when we run the batch jobs the new variant values are not getting picked or used. If we run the program independently i.e FP04M and use the variant, the new variant values are being handled.
I am not sure what is missing in the SM37 background job that is defined though the variant values are runtime parameters and should have automatically be used after it undergoes modification in the next job exeuction.
Kindly provide your feedback.
Thanks & Regards
Bala
P.S. : I Have posted this query in IS forum too.

Creation of sales order with Variant configuration info

Hi friends,
   I am creating sales order along with Variant configuration data. We have 3 level BOM structure.
I am using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 and filling in ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF ORDER_CFGS_VALUE, ORDER_CFGS_REFINST
tables exactly the same way BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST FM returns.
Sales order is being created with no variant configuration information.(Not in the header level atleast)
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks
Seshagiri

Updating Variant Configuration data for SO item became little tricky for us in an ongoing implementation. After spending some hours investigating the correct combination of data to pass, we were able to post the document correctly. As no detailed documentation is available online for this scenario, I hope this post will help community for similar requirements. J
For updating Variant configuration (VC) data for Sales order item, we need to populate below tables of standard FM or BAPI (e.g. SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE).
Normally the standard FM or BAPI does not return any error messages in case configuration data is not updated successfully.
·         SALES_SCHEDULES_IN: The required date field should be populated with appropriate value (REQ_DATE).
·         SALES_ITEMS_IN: Field PO_ITM_NO should be populated with appropriate value.
·         SALES_CFGS_REF Table:
1.       This table should have 1 record per item.
2.       Combination of CONFIG_ID and ROOT_ID should be unique across line items.

Problem to run ABAP job with VARIANT in Redwood

Hi,
I am new to SAP, Redwood and this forum so if this topic has been covered earlier I apologize.
My problem is that I have a SAP job with a VARIANT in SAP that I want to have working in Redwood.
I import the job with RSI_IMPORT_ABAP_PROGRAMS and the variant with RSI_IMPORT_VARIANTS. At this
stage I am relatively sure I was able to run the job once by submit RSI_ABAP_RUN with variant.
I use the RSI_GENERATE_VARIANT to generate the VAREDIT script to be able to change the parameters
for the ABAP job. Modify the parameters, run the VAREDIT script.
When I now try to run the RSI_ABAP_RUN with the variant I enters values for instance, client, jobclass,
ABAP program (from dropdown list), ABAP variant (from dropdown list), Job name (get filled automatically)
then tries to goto "next" or "submit" I get a popup window.
Error
Enter a valid value for the ABAP_VARIANT_NAME.
I am still able to run the job in SAP with VARIANT and in background.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Henrik,
One of the parameter checks apparently is failing, and in some special cases the issue may be with another (related) parameter.
Can you tell me exactly which version you are using (6.0.2.x or maybe 7.0.x.y) ?
You can find this in the view JCS_PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION or by running the RW_SHOW_INSTALLED_COMPONENTS script. I would need to know the repository and the rsi version.
Have you tried entering a (different) jobname manually ? And if the client number you use below 100, does it have leading zeros or not ?
Anton.

How to create a job thru ABAP program for calling a program with variant???

Hello experts,
can u give me step wise procedure to create jobs for a program with a variant name thru ABAP???
Also, can a transaction can be scheduled as a job to run in background with a variant name???
Edited by: SAP USER on Jul 22, 2008 6:08 AM

Hi,
To create a job through ABAP program you can do the following.
Go to Menu bar.
In there, go to SYTSTEM> SERVICES> JOBS--> DEFINE JOB.
Then give the JOB NAME and CLASS in the screen that comes up.
This is how we schedule a program.
Now, to create a variant for a program -
First activate your program in SE38. Then execute it .
Now, click on SAVE button. It will open up the variant creation screen. Give the details there like variant name and value for the fields. Save and come back.
Hope this helps.

Hari Kiran

Running job with a specific background ID...

I have a program and a background ID created. I want to run that job in background immediately using that background ID defined by basis. How can I do that ?
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi,
YOu can create a separate program with Input parameters as job id.
Now submit the program using SUBMIT statement along with Job id, jobname which are created.
Usually, we will be creating job id using JOB_OPEN function module, and then will be submitting a background job using SUBMIT statement and finally closing the job using JOB_CLOSE function module.

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now. Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

Hii Can anyone tell me is there any possibility of giving some due payment like bonus or offcycle after its termination is done along with the payroll run and posting.

Hii Can anyone tell me is there any possibility of giving some due payment like bonus or offcycle once employee termination is done along with the payroll run and posting.
Thanx

One Possibility is by making manual entry for that employee from FI side.. (this will give you soln..) Take the help of FI consultant...
Another possibility is in IT0003 "Payroll Status".. You can opt mention next month date "Run Payroll up to" & execute Off cycle payroll for that employee...
Just try this hope this may sort your issue....
If it still it doesn't give you soln.. You may need to reverse the posting of that employee & change employment status.. Run Bonus & finally terminate the employee & do the posting..

[note] running multiple audio apps along with runescape

Hello everyone
For those battling with their java hogging the audio device *and for those who waste their time with runescape *included* *
Install PulseAudio and follow their instruction, be sure to READ ( and more if you are like me that can't survive without listening to music).
After installing and testing everything go to console type in:
$ padsp opera
Note I use opera, although I'm pretty sure most of you use firefox. Don't bother though, firefox 3.5 will hang on, been looking on how to fix it but not close enough.
if you run
$ pavucontrol
you should be able to see all the applications that uses audio routed onto it and be able to manipulate the volume of each one
Alright going back to the 'dadsp opera' step, go to runescape.org or whatever site that contains java mini games or application that uses audio, run it and you should be able to get it working. In the 'pavucontrol' it'd be marked as "OSS Emulation"
Along with this, be sure to check on libflashsupport-pulse (using 32 bit one personally)
Sorry if this wasn't the section, wanted to post this since it wasn't anywhere. I'd hope it be helpful to others
Cheers

Ok, fixed it! Sorry if I wasted anyone's time. I converted the struggling clips from aac to mp3 and now everything's good.

How to Run std program with a specific variant for specific user?

Hi guys
We have a std program which will be run by different users in the company. Now the requirement is to make sure that each user runs the report with a specific varaint. Can we control this if yes how?
one options we thought about was to create a transaction in SE93 and define the program to run with a predefined varaint and assign the new custom tcode to the user profile. But we have many different users and we will end up with creating many transactions which we would like to avoid. Is there any other option to control the std program such that each user can run the program only with a pre-defined varaint and the one which only the user is suppoed to run. thanks in advance.

We have a std program which will be run by different users in the company. Now the requirement is to make sure that each user runs the report with a specific varaint. Can we control this if yes how
you can do this..
You can create a Custom table
userid keyfield
program keyfield
variant keyfield
programdesc
Make the table Maintaintable(usnig table maintenance )
Now create another Program
It takes input of the Program name( using selection screen)
LOGIC
in side that place a logic ,
Based on the user name and program name Get the variant name from above table
Now Submit the program with the variant you have selected above.
Use Variant Addition when you use SUBMIT
So now program executed based on user variant.
Now you create a Transaction for this program.
When use Runs the Transaction , user needs to input the Program name which he wants to execute.
and Output will be shown based on the variants

Running ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Possible?

Can I run the ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT together in my mac pro?

The X1900 would have to go in double wide slot, you would have to run one or both at 8x.
I think something like ATI 2600 might make more sense. The 8800GT is listed as discontinued (have a thread or two about it being EOL). So unless you have the 8800GT may not be an option anyway.
The 4870 + 2600 combo would be best I can think of for us with 1st gen now.
This assumes you simply need to drive 3 monitors. And don't want to wait and see if the Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 (doubtful) will support 1st gen EFI32's.
