Sending of email triggered in a background job ends with error.

Question

Hello all,
I have created a API which triggers mail to a distribution list using class CL_BCS. When i execute this API in foreground it works fine and the mails are triggered.
However i am calling this API in a report which will scheduled as a  background job in my application and this job executes for some 5 to 6 hours and after that i trigger the mail. However at this point the job gets cancelled due to an abort message raised in
one of the CL_BCS methods.
The method is cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address which is called in my API and internally this calls many other methods. The abort meessage is thrown from the method instantiate_imp_class of class CL_EXIT_MASTER.
The ST22 log reads like this:
Runtime Errors:  LOAD_SWITCHSTATES_MISMATCH
Short text:  Current switch statuses are incompatible with program switch statuses.
What happened?
    The current switch statuses that are read for the execution of the
    program "CL_IM_CVI_ADDRESS_UPD_IMPL====CP" are incompatible with the switch
     statuses with which the
    program "CL_IM_CVI_ADDRESS_UPD_IMPL====CP" was generated at the time
     20090902114544.
Any advice would be greatly helpful.
Warm Regards,

Hi!
How you determine sender (method set_sender) ? if you use current user, when it runs on background use a backgorund user and it maybe can not determine an email.
Try force a sender (harcode your user for test when sy-batch eq 'X')
If it works, you need to determine the user to be used on jobs to solve this problem.
I hope it helps
Regards!!!!
