Set up a Batch Job

Hi Everyone,
I created a sample report using Crystal Reports and was wondering if it can be set up as a batch job. Do we have the option of setting up batch jobs in Crystal reports?
Thanks
Kumar..

Is this a one-time requirement, or do you anticipate having many reports setup this way? If you are proficient, you could create a VB application to run the report, then schedule it, but batch scheduling is one of the primary uses for Crystal Reports Server (or BO Edge/BOE). It also provides delivery capabilities (FTP, email, etc) and history tracking. I think there are a few third-party tools that facilitate scheduling, but you can purchase CR Server with 5 named users for about $2500.

How to find out the Batch job selection screen values

Dear Users,
One of our users has set up a Batch job by manually entering values into the Selection screen of a report instead of picking up a Variant. We would like to know the values entered on selection screen since the job has failed and the user doesn't remember the selection screen values entered.
Can anyone please advise if there is a way we can figure out the selection screen values entered?
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi,
You can debug your failed job by going to 'SM37', type in 'JDBG' in the command line ( no '/' ), put the cursor on the job and press enter - will take you to the job in debug mode.
You can do this only after the job has finished execution. This will simulate the exact background scenario with the same selection screen values as used in the job.
So type in the transaction code 'JDBG' and place your cursor on the job after It has finished. It will take you to a SAP program in debug mode. Step through this program which is about 10 lines, after this your program will be executed in the debug mode.
Check the selection screen values.

Automatically output report to excel from a batch job

We have business users who require that a standard report be run daily as a batch job and output to a printer, which is using a large pile of paper every day. I have challenged the rationale for this without success, and am trying to find a way to continue to run the batch job but output the report to an excel file and e-mail it to a manager. I know that this can be done by a good ABAP programmer, but I am trying to find a way to set up the batch job to do this without additional ABAP, as programming resources are very limited. I would appreciate input from anybody who knows how to do this.

Likely because your user is continuing to call the service in a Windows (classic) DOMAIN\username format, and not in the Claims identity it should be.

To set up a batch job for delivery creation use SM36 T-code.
Input batch job name say - ZSD_CREATE_DELY_SALES_ORG
Select class = C or B.
Set up by / created by = BATCHADMIN or your id
Program Name = WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE
Varient = (as per your requirement - say for a particular sales area and plant)
Click on "Check" icon and "Save".
Go to the main page, select icon "Schedule a Batch job".
Give detils like daily, weekly or periodic or Immediate.
Enter date and time accordingly. Save it.
Same thing applies for Invoice creation batch job.
Use program name:RSBDCSUB
All other steps remain the same.
Hope this will help you out !

Email in Batch Job

Hello All,
I need to set up a batch job and this would run daily. I can do this in SM36 and have done it.
But the question is I have couple of email ID's from the company I am working in and some email ID's for a different company.
The concern is when the JOB runs everyone has to receive a mail.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

If you want to send an internal SAP message into SAP Inbox, than it is possible:
Please refer to this thread:
Background scheduling
I don't think we have any provision for the "Spool Recipient" for the external email id.

Time restriction on Batch Job

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement to set up a batch job to run every 15 minutes to print some labels. The catch is that it has to run only on working days between 6:15 AM and 6:15 PM. I believe that we can schieve the working days part by giving the factory calendar in restrictions and selecting the option 'Do not execute job on Sundays or Holid.' but I am unable to find a way to restrict is based on time. Is there any setting ro parameter in SM36 that can help achieve this or is there any other workaround for this.
Thanks in advance for any hekp you can provide.
~ Praveen

Hi Praveen,
we had faced a similar issue and were not able to find anything substantial.
What can be done as a workaround is to schedule the job periodically based on calendar to run every fifteen minutes and in the program code you could write the logic to terminate the program if time is not between the stipulated hours.

Batch job scheduling based on Event AND for the job to complete

I am trying to schedule a background job based on an event AND based on the job finishing itself.
Example:
Job name: Send_Message
After Event: SAP_NEW_PROCESS Message
Program: Program xxxx
I want that the Send_Message job only runs when the Event SAP_NEW_PROCESS message happens AND the Send_Message job is not running.
Right now, I could only schedule it based on the event SAP_NEW_PROCESS Message which means that everytime this event happens the job runs and I end up having the job "Send_Message" in multilple intances where the others will immediately cancel since the first job is still running and so I end up with a lot of Cancelled job when it is not necessary to run them all when there is already 1 instance of the Job running.
How do I set it up in SAP?

Thanks but I am new to SAP having to set up a batch job.
The Event "SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES" is a standard SAP Event. We used that such that when a new transaction comes in, the batch job will run but we don't want to run the batch job if the same batch job is already running.
YOu mentioned that I should set up Job_0. Do I need to create an ABAP prorgram to check if JOB_1 is running? How do I set up Job_0? What is the trigger for my Job_0 to run?
You also said that I set up Job_1 and trigger that based on the outcome of Job_0 AND at the same time be triggered by the event "SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES". How do I set up this Job_1 so that it can be triggered by both Job_0 and a new transaction coming in(SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES).
if you can provide me the step by step guide as I am new to this and I only know basic.
The current set up I have is
Job_1
Job Start:
      After Event
            Event: SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES
      Step 1: program to run RCOCB002
I was thinking following your suggestion is this:
Job_0
Job Start
      After Event
            Event: SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES
      Step 1: program to run - What will be my program to run?
Job_1
Job_Start
      After Event
            Event: What will be my trigger for Job_1 and how do I set it up?
      Step 1: program to run RCOCB002

Batch job to follow up WBT participation in LSO (confirm participation)

Hi,
We are finding a lot of our users in LSO are neglecting to click on "Confirm Participation" in the Learning Portal after successfully completing their web-based training.
Of course, this means that the course remains in their "current" training activities area and most importantly, this means that the qualification related to this course type is not imparted.
Due to this, we are looking at setting up a batch job to run nightly. This job will look for situations where a person has successfully completed eLearning but neglects to confirm participation. In these cases, the system will confirm participation for them.
What is the best way to make this happen?
Thanks
Shaun

Hi JP,
"Our WBT courses do not get followed up at all in the new standard way."
We experienced this as well after implementing the solution in note 1796928. The cause of our problem turned out to be a missing authorization on the user account we use to run the web content player. In our case, the user had no read authority for infotype 1001 so function LSO_LA_SAVE_LEARNINFO_C never made the call to function ZLSO_IF_AUTO_CONFIRM.
To discover the cause, we needed to debug function LSO_LA_SAVE_LEARNINFO_C, however since it runs in a separate task we couldn't debug directly.
To get around this, we added messages of type X at various points in the function's enhancement code. This forced the function to dump at runtime, and we then looked at the runtime error log to see the contents of the dump message. This enabled us to find the problem. Maybe you could try this same debug-via-dump approach to identify the source of your problem.
Another thing to check is that users have authorization object P_LSO_FOUP.
I also want to mention that as part of our implementation, we made the same enhancement to function LSO_CP_WRITE_SCORMDATA as was made to function LSO_LA_SAVE_LEARNINFO_C so that function LSO_CP_WRITE_SCORMDATA also calls function ZLSO_IF_AUTO_CONFIRM.

Can U set breakpoint within a batch job and look at variables?

Hello friends,
I am trying to solve a problem that occurs within a program / transaction which can only be executed in background. The transaction in question is FPCOPARA and apparently this program cannot be executed in foreground.
If I understand well, we cannot set breakpoints within a background job and as a result we cannot inspect variable etc. during job execution. So the question is how to achieve the same goal within a batch job? How did you do it? As this is a standard SAP transacrtion, no program modification can be applied.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi......
After u have executed ur batch job..
go to sm37 >>select ur job using checkbox>>enter 'JDBG' in transaction box and press enter
now debugger will start ..initial it will go through system code..after after a while the debugger will reach to your code and den you can debug the remaining report....
all the best

Setting default date range in selection screen when executing as batch job.

Hi Guys,
I have one report to be scheduled as weekly batch job and one of the selection screen field is date range. If i set this report to run today then the date range will be from one week back date(Lower value) to today date(Higher value). When it runs for next week(Already scheduled as weekly batch job) the date range should be like this
Lower value = today date
higher value= next week run date.
How can i achieve this functionality. Is it possible through Dynamic variant concept?. Rest of the selection screen fields have some default values and should not change.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Thanks in advance,
Vinod.
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 22, 2008 3:52 PM

Hi Vinod,
Would suggest you to this.
Create two parameters : p_start_date and p_end_date of type sy-datum on your selection screen , instead of a range.
Now goto create a variant from SE38 for the report.
While creating the variant, mark the "Selection Variable" checkbox for the two parameters and click on "Selection Variables".
Select the option "D: Dynamic date calculation" for both the date fields.
For p_start_date - select the option "Current Date"
For p_end_date - select the option "Current date +/- ??? days" and put 7 in the pop up.
Hence what you have done now is, set up a dynamic variant, where p_start_date will have sy-datum and p_end_date will have sy-datum + 7, everytime the job runs.
Now, in the program, first step after START-OF-SELECTION code the following:
RANGES: r_date FOR sy-datum.
start-of-selection.
refresh r_date.
r_date-sign = 'I'. r_date-option = 'BT'.
r_date-low = p_start_date. r_date-high = p_end_date.
append r_date.
Hence this way, you would have built your range and use it as needed.
Cheers,
Aditya

Does setting the PLOGI PRELU switch to BTCI trigger batch job

Hello HR Experts,
When I set the PLOGI PRELU switch to BTCI do I have to schedule the batch job to run daily or will it run automatically by just setting the BTCI switch?
Thanks.

Hi, 
You have to create a job and assign the RHINTE report. It has to be done once manually and job will take care every other time.
Good luck 
Thanks,

Periodic Batch Job Set u

I have created a new batch job in SM36 and is scheduled to be triggered every 15 Mins. My Questions I wanted to Schedule my batch job in Such a way that if by the next 15 mins the Job is still running it should not start the batch job. The next 15 min job should be executed after the previous one is completed.
Please let me know the option using SM36
Regards,
Swaroop

Hi Swaroop,
you can create a lock object in SE11 which you lock at start of your abap job step and release in the end. When the 2nd job starts and he can't lock that object, he should stop immediately.

Klaus
