Sceduling of report of previous monthe in background job

Hello Techies,
I have  2 issues.
1. i want to scedule bacground job of some previous months dates . How to do that?Please tell me step by step. And also i want content of that report should be visible to me.
2. I want to do some chanes in Single Role which has been assigned to various user. That role containes the profile which is copy of SAP_ALL profile. Now i want to remove some specific Transactions from itlike CJ20N,VA02,FB08 ETC.
NOTE: Menu tab is unmainted int it. And I also gone with Tcode Ranges BUT ITS NOT WORKING.
Expecting reply on early basis.
Renu.

Answer for the first point
1.Make a transaction which fetches the required data from ECC(O any data source), i suppose you must be having some data source where the past records are stored.
2.In this transaction you must be using some Action Block to fetch the data (Eg BAPI or FM), this BAPI or FM must have some input on which you want to fetch the data , and i guess there must be some start and end date i/p field on which you want the data.
3. In this start and end date field map two transaction variable like Start_Date and End_Date.
4. Now from the schedular you can pass the start and end date to this BLS and in the BLS before mapping these dates you can use date functions which converts the date passed by you to one month back or so according to your requirement.
I guess this will resolve your first query.

  • How to show a report for 'Previous Month' Data

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement, where i have to default my report to show previous month data.
    Scenario:
    My prompts by Default are set to CURRENT (current year,quarter,month). once the user logs in, the report should display data for month 'Nov' instead of 'Dec'.
    I tried using TIMESTAMPADD() in the formula , but it didn't work, though i don't see any error. Not sure if i 'm missing something.
    Is there a way to achieve this.I 'm using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.
    Any help is highly Appreciated ! Please.
    Thanks,
    Ramya

    From what you wrote I am assuming the user can manually save the report results to the Excel file.
    If your report uses ALV Grid it is possible to export the data to a spreadsheet (one of the functions available in the ALV tool bar).
    If you have used WRITE statements it is also possible to save the output as a spreadsheet (menu System -> List -> Save), but the latter will not produce as nice a spreadsheet if the data don't form a matrix. In other words, some work may be necessary in the spreadsheet afterwards before it has the format your user wants.

  • Reporting on Previous Month/Current Year - Jan 09 fix

    I currently have about 10 reports that are being filtered to only show data on the repository variables for :
    PreviousMonth and Current Year.
    When Jan 1, 2009 comes around, these reports will be kicked off to show Decemeber of the Current Year, so December of 2009.
    What is the best/easiest way to fix this problem for the future?

    What Shiva meant was to let YEAR be a Presentation Variable that the user can select from, say a drop down list of "years."
    But consider this. Whenever the month of the "system date" is January, you want the year to be one less than the "current year." For all other months, you want the year of the "system date."
    PrevYear = CASE WHEN MONTH(Calendar."System Date")=1 THEN YEAR(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_YEAR, -1,Calendar."System Date")) ELSE YEAR(Calendar."System Date") END
    And since you weren't sure about how to do the previous month...
    PrevMonth = MONTH(TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH,-1,Calendar."System Date"))

    system cancelled your process immediately.

    Hi,
    You can create a logical column in repository BMM Layer in that Fact table using AGO function so that you can display previous month\qtr\year level values.
    Refer : http://sandybi.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/time-series-caclulations-in-obiee/
    Example : AGO("Sample Sales"."F0 Rev Base Measures"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)", "Sample Sales"."H0 Time"."Month", 1)

  • How to schedule the background job daily twice?

    Hi,
    How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
    Regards,
    Srihitha

    see the step by step procedure.
    Scheduling Background Jobs:
    1. Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
    2. To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
    and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
    scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
    company codes).
    3. While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
    (Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
    to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
    a. Time of printing: set to “Send to SAP spooler Only for now”
    b. Name – abbreviated name to identify the job output
    c. Title – free form description for the report output
    d. Authorization – a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
    this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
    authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
    e. Department – set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
    a search later.
    f. Retention period – set to “Do not delete” if the report output needs to be retained for more
    than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
    be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
    could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
    Configuring user access:
    1. To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
    least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
    name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
    that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
    SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
    2. To access a particular job’s output in the spool, the user must have
    S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
    in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
    3. Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
    controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
    BASE access (display).
    On-line reports:
    1. Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
    from R/3. If a user clicks “Parameters” button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
    allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
    “Scheduling background jobs” section. Thus any output created by an online report
    can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
    (access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
    attributes, see p. 3.d of “Scheduling background jobs” section).
    Access to report’s output:
    1. A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
    retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
    2. The selection screen can be configured by clicking “Further selection
    criteria…” button (e.g. to bring “Spool request name (suffix 2)” field or hide other
    fields).
    3. The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
    Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled job’s outputs)
    a. Spool request name (suffix 2) – corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
    “Scheduling background jobs” section above).
    b. Date created – to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
    c. Title – corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in “Scheduling background jobs”
    section above).
    d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in “Scheduling
    background jobs” section above).
    4. Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button to
    retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
    5. From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
    content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
    request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
    Configuring user access)
    a. Click the Print button to print the spool request with the default attributes
    (usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
    specified when a job was created.
    b. Click the “Print with changed attributed” button to print the spool request
    with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
    c. Click the “Display contents” button to preview the spool request contents. A
    Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode.

  • What is the spool, what is its role in background job scheduling

    Hi,
    I want to know what is meant by Spool request and spool number generated.
    Tell about transaction SP01.
    How it is linked to Background job scheduling.
    thanks.
    sam.

    Hi,
    Refer this link.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/inf?rid=/library/uuid/7a5f4061-0a01-0010-c9bc-a4e4cb100438
    About SP01.
    Printing does not work in SAP. There is a printer definition for your local printer, but it does not work. Presuming that you use the program SAPLPD on your computer.
    Boot your computer and start only the SAPLogon and the SAPLpd program.
    Delete all of your old print jobs in the SAP system (Transaction SP01).Generate only one new print job.
    Check that there is enough resource in your computer. Check the free memory (Win 3.1x) and the free disk space (The lists are temporarily saved on your disk).
    Open the SAPLPD and read the print log in the window. The printer definition must correspond with the parameters shown here.
    Check that the standard printer is on the same lpt (Win 3.1: Control panel, Printer) as defined for the printer (usually lpt1).
    In Transaction SP01 read the protocol of your print job. Do not generate new print jobs! Wait till the SAP system changes the status of the print job.
    If you can not find the print job in SP01 anymore, then the print job was successfully printed out. If it didn't come out on your printer and the SAPLpd didn't indicate an incoming print job, then the connection was realised with another PC. Then SAP printer definition you used, does not correspond with your computer.

    Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request
    Use
    You want to export the contents of a spool request as a text file to the SAP GUI working directory or to a directory of your choice. The content of the spool request is downloaded as plain text without, for example, graphics, images, or specific fonts.
    The following procedures are irrelevant for the PDF-based form printing integrated as of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, since the print data can be opened and stored as a PDF. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
    Procedure
    Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory:
    Choose Spool Request ® Forward® Export as Text.
    The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.
    A file of this type is named using the following pattern:
    .txt
    Example: ABC0000004327.txt
    You require appropriate authorization for this function.
    Exporting to a Directory of Your Choice:
    With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed and you then download the screen list as a text file to the directory of your choice.
           1.      Select the spool request to be exported and choose  Display Contents.
           2.      In the case of SAPScript/Smart Forms documents, activate list display by choosing Goto.
           3.      Choose System ® List ® Save ® Local File.
           4.      Choose one of the available formats and confirm your choice.
           5.      Choose a directory and save the spool request.
    By default, only the first 10 pages of a spool request are saved in a file. You can increase the number of pages to be saved by choosing Goto ® Display Requests ® Settings and making the desired entries in the Display Area group box.
