Need to schedule a report in background from an user exit

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to execute a report in background from an user exit. Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Vivenchandar R

Use the submit statement.
For example
SUBMIT zipr_trans_details "VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
 WITH so_trdt IN lr_tr_period
 WITH so_empno IN lr_emp
 AND RETURN.
Where zipr_trans_details is the report name.

Problems when scheduling a report in background

Hi Guys
I have a report that has a lot of columns so i have created a display variant with 22 cols. When I run this report online (foreground) It picks up my variant and I can see all 22 cols. The problem is when I schedule this in background it does not display all the cols, the last three cols get cut off.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks
Sameer

you have to change the format in SPAD.
Go to transaction SPAD -> FULL ADMINISTRATION -> DEVICE TYPES -> FORMAT TYPES and there you can see all the available formats. Create a new format Z_65_700 in the similar manner with X_255... with a different number of columns (700) and save it.
Then in the tab DEVICE/SERVERS go to OUTPUT DEVICES and type your printer -> ENTER -> then from the Menu GOTO device type -> then there is a button FORMATS where you can see all the existing formats (plus the one you have just ctreated). Find it and choose it. Then save.
Now you have attached the new format to your printer.
The next step is simple.
You can do it the way you described, but there is also another way. Run your program with F9 and not F8 from the selection screen. It will ask you for printers, formats etc. There you will first select the appropriate printer and then (after ENTER) you have to go down to formats and select the new format. Do not print it immediatelly, click only the NEW SPOOL REQUEST checkbutton. This will create a new spool request.
If you go to SP01 you will find the number of your finished job. If you click the abap list button it will only show you collumns with up to 255 characters.
But if you take the spool number and put it as a parameters to the zzz program , it will show everything.

Regarding running a report in background and generate spool

Hi,
I am developing a report [REPORT1].
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.
ENDFORM. " obtain_spool_id

Ability to schedule a report to run in background but No access to transact

Hi,
I want to give users ability to schedule a report to run in background but No access to transaction Sm37.
What can be the process/steps to work and morever if we do this is there any disadvantages that users
can face later...

Thanks,
Barada

Sorry, I misread your question - thinking that the report should only be run in the background.
I agree with the others (also about SMX and SMXX to display their own jobs, but not change them afterwards), but which report (tree) is this?
You can still give the user an ability to maintain a variant via transaction VARCH though (no execute possibility) . It will check S_PROGRAM p_action VARIANT or look for a user specific protection flag.
But then the user can submit it online as well from other transactions. That is why I thought you were looking for a way to run it as low priority in the background only.

Julius

Background Scheduling Z Report

Hi,
I have developed one report , it can output its result in alv report and excel file, So my requirement is to schedule the report and in background only email the report to the specified email id's. How can I achieve functionality of background scheduling and automatic email.
I know we can do background scheduling with SA38 or SM36/SM37 but upon scheduling it is not saving my excel file at desired location.
Ankesh

You should search forums about this....
You will need to save to the SAP Application server (in a folder which has write permission for SAP jobs) and possibly FTP to some shared drive within the network. Local PC, local MS network, like C:\, D:\, etc. is not visible to a background job, since there is NO GUI/PRESENTATION server involved in a background job. Outside of MS Office, an .XLS file is an unknown file type, probably.... how do you think you're creating a .XLS file in a background SAP job?

Schedule a report to run in background

Hi all,
I have a report that has a selection screen .
When i schedule this report as a background job , it is cancelled : "cannot perform frontend function in batch input mode " ??
I created a variant and in the job step specified the variant name ...!! would appreciate if anyone can tell how to schedule the report to run as background job ?

Hi,
Ok in this case there can be too options.
1) either take file from the shared network and put it in your presentation server and then take it into application server ( this is manual by using CG3z)and then execute your program in background
2) or you will have to code using FTP commands
First connect using FM FTP_COMMAND. you will ahve to use commands like mget etc
Once connected then pass command using FM
FTP_COMMAND
Then get the files Data into Internal table via FTP server which can be done using
FM FTP_SERVER_TO_R3
once done use the back ground processing
Make sure that there is R/3 connection mainained using SM59.

Run the report in background do F9 instead of F8, then give immediate and save.
Then goto Sm35 goto job overview and view the job listed
Choose the job and press the spool button. It will show the list created on the next page. When u clcik the list u can see the ALV output.
To see this the job should be in the finished status.

Scheduling of ALV Reports in Background

I have schedule a Report in the Back ground and also entered the spool list so that the mail can be sent to the said users but when the Report is recvd in the mail box it is recvd as html and there are many columnns in my report that are not visible.
can i schedule the report and send the report as an excel attchement in the background processing if so then how can i do that
you early reponse will be appreciated
abhishek

Hi,
Once you schedule the ALV report in background you will not get the entire list as it is. The output lenght of the ist generated in the background is set to 255 characters and generally data exceeding this lenght will be turncated.
You cannot download a report in excel in background. The FM's GUI_download will not work in backgorund. You will have to write the data on the application server and then write an additional program to read that data or alternatively use some of the std tcodes to fetch that data to the presentation system.
