Spool not generated in background mode

Hi ,
I am fine tuning a report.
I am working on a program which is collecting data and exporting data into memory id. then two other reports, are importing data from memory and displaying in AlV/list.
When i execute this report in background the spool is not getting generated.
is there any way to generate the spool?
How to measure the execution time, as the program is taking much time and some times going to dump in case of time limit.
Thanks ,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
For measuring runtime use SE30 transaction. When u run in back ground it wont go to Dump. It may happen only in fore ground. If at all it happend in back ground, the reason might be different. Analyze that dump n see what is going wrong. Also i dont think there is any time limit in back ground as i executed jobs that ran for 11 days!!!!. U can alos debug the batch job.
put break point in ur program, Select that batch job in SE37, enter jdbg in command promt and press enter. Control will go to debug mode.
Which ALV u r using. I think through OOPS ALV batch job will not create spool i guess. Not sure on this.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Spool not generated in BAckground Job

Hi,
I am trying to schedule RSNAST00 in a background job. My problem is that when the job gets finished i cannot see a spool for the output, any pointers to this issue will be appreciated.
Regards,
Sharadendu

Go to transaction SM37 and check job log.
It is possible that something is going wrong in your program. I would suggest you to debugg background job.
To debugg just select job in SM37 and in command window(Where we type T codes) type JDBG and press enter. This will open debugger. Press F7 for approx 4-5 times. Now your program will be opened in debugg and you check why spool is not generated.
let me know ig this helps.

Spool not generated for background job

Hi all!
I have a Zprogram that does some validation and submits the data to transaction ME59 using SUBMIT statement. The program is running fine in foreground.When it is scheduled for background, the spool is not getting generated. I know that if a program contains SUBMIT statement, the spool will not be generated when run in background. But is there a way to make it work? The client requires the exact output that we get in foreground.

Hi,
All spool requests will be stored in TSP01 table
TSP01 - Spool Requests
field name for Spool request number is RQIDENT
Hi,
Take a look at OSS Note 422136 which states:
"2. You can only store one spool request even if a step generates several spool requests during processing. The application is responsible for a "spool overview" in this case. If a step generates several spool requests during processing, only one request can be stored. In this case, the application report should issue the number with a message when writing a spool request so that it is then displayed in the job log."
Also take a look at OSS Note 519059 which further supports the case that you must capture the individual spool numbers as they are being created (i.e. within the job step's program). The note contains the following:
8] Question: How are the spool requests assigned?
Answer: The step information is stored in table TBTCP. This has space for exactly one spool request (field LISTIDENT). If a step generates several spool requests during the processing, only one can be stored. In this case the application is responsible for a "spool overview

SPOOL not generated while smartform is executed in Background

Hi
I have issue while creating spool for smartform in background.Its works fine in foreground and i m able to view the outpt.
But in background it should generate a spool but it is not generating?
I have given the ouput options to supress the dialog but it still it is not generating the spool.
     control-preview = 'X'.
      control-no_dialog = 'X'.
      control-device = 'PRINTER'.
      control-no_dialog = 'X'.
      control-GETOTF = 'X'.
      OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDDEST = 'LP01'.
      OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDNOPRINT = 'X'.
Any suggestions??
Thanks & Regards
Jyo

Hi Jyotheswar,
When the smartform is generated in background create a new spool by using following code
      output_options-no_dialog = 'X'.
      output_options-tdarmod = 1.
      output_options-tdcopies = 001.
      output_options-tddest = 'LP01'.
      output_options-tdprinter = 'SWIN'.
      output_options-tdlifetime = 1.
      output_options-tdnewid = 'X'.
tdnewid is the field used to create a new spool request. You can get the new spool request number in job_output_info-spoolids.

Birendra

Spool not generated in some condition

Requirement :Developing a data transfer program. Approach used is Call Transaction in S mode.
In some cases(if Receiving Storage Location is PKGX) I need to load only MB11 and other cases I need to load 3 transaction sequentially MB11 creates Mat. Doc. No. which in turn passed to the LT06 to create TO(Transfer Order) and the TO passed to LT12 to confirm TO.
Problem When I run it in background(it generates report in foreground), job finished successfully, data is loaded into system and spool status shown as error ONLY IF ALL THE 3 TRANSACTIONS CALLED AND LOADED.
I debugged the Batch Job(using t-code JDBG) line by line output,contents are writen to output but at the end spool goes into error and report is not visible.
In all other cases like messages/outputs due to record not correct or/and only MB11 is to be processed, spool is generated with status Waiting and report is visible.

Hello All,
I checked in SM58. It showed an error.
I checked my function module attributes. It was normal. Changed it to Remote enabled.
Now spool is generated.

Job finished successfully but Spool not generated(no spool icon)

I am generating a report which . When the program in scheduled, the job completed successfully but spool icon is not available. Could any one suggest us the reason why spool has not generated. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
When executing report, Spool gets generated only when an Output is generated. Please check if output exits for the selection criteria.
Also check any special mechanisms are used that diverse the ouput when executed in background.

Mails are not generated in background Jobs and not shown in SOST.

Dear All,
I have facing issue regarding to system mails. I want to send mails the various reports automatically from SAP System to different recipients. So I scheduled that reports at background and in their spool list recipient I have added distribution list.
But that mails are not generated, it is not shown in transaction SOST also. When I send mails manually it goes successfully to only our company domain recipients. But not other domains. How should I resolve this problem?
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

WHICH TABLE STORES SPOOL REQUEST GENERATED BY BACKGROUND JOB ?

Background job is generating multiple request.
i am not able to find the table which stores all the spool request for a particular background job.

i know the table for spool request : TSP01
But how should i link it to background job name ?
i want the link between background job name and spool request generated by it......
TBTCPV is the view but it stores only one spool request.....rather than multiple spoolreq generated by background job..

BDC is not working in background mode and working fine in Foreground mode

Hi Experts,
I have created a BDC in SHDB for the transaction code:CWBQM for creating and deleting the record and converted the BDC recording into the program using call transaction. It is working fine in both foreground and background. When I given the same program for users testing one for the user was able to delete the records but Creation is not working in the same BDC. He is able to create the same records in another PC and the problem is only in that PC and only during the creation of the record. When I change the mode to 'A' mode for testing and request the user to execute and it is working fine the records created successfully. What could be the issue ?
Thanks,
Hema

Hello,
While recording BDC in SHDB try setting "Simulate background mode" flag and give a try.
