Variant Creation for Background mode

hi
I am trying to create variants which will run the background jobs for CFM1 transaction with materials having 6000 records every time.
Can you tell me how to create variants for a particular transaction A using some other program B.
if I have 24000 records I want 4 different variants with 6000 records each for CFM1
All helpful answers will be rewarded

hi ,
you can categorize ur data for putting into different variants and create 4 different variant names. use the fm 'RS_CREATE_VARIANT' for creating variants in ur program B. use the following code in ur program..
      DATA : ls_variantdesc TYPE varid.
      DATA : lt_varianttext TYPE TABLE OF varit ,
             wa_varianttext TYPE varit.
      DATA : tt_reportparam TYPE TABLE OF rsparams,
             wa_reportparam TYPE rsparams.

Variant Creation for the Back Ground Jobs

Hi experts
1) What are the settings we need to consider in the Variant Creation for generating CVC's, Planning Area Initialization, Calculate Proportional Factors and Loading planning area.
2)I believe Process flow to create process chain:
Generate CVC's-->Planning Area Intialization>Load Planning Area Vesrion--
>Calculate Proportional Factors
Please correct if the process flow is not right.
3) Is it require to check the adjust time series for generating CVC's for every time?
4) How to generate the proportional factors for all the products in the single job?I assume that need to create a single selection ID which has all Characteristic values and assign this while creating the Proportional factors.Please correct me if i am wrong.
Please give your valuable opinions on the above queries
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Below are the answers to your queries.
1) What are the settings we need to consider in the Variant Creation for generating CVC's, Planning Area Initialization, Calculate Proportional Factors and Loading planning area.
While creating CVC's (t-code /n/sapapo/mc62)select your MPOS, goto create characteristic combinations, then enter Target mpos, say generate in background, tick against all fields in action selection, and then save as variant. During planning area initialisation(/n/sapapo/msdp_admin), select your planning area, right click and say create time series objects and then enter planning version, start and end dates and execute job in background. While calculating proportional factors (/n/sapapo/mc8v), enter ur planning area & infocube and then save as a variant. For loading data from infocube to planning area (tcode /n/sapapo/tscube), select the infocube, planning version, planning area, planning versin, periods, tick mark in results log, key figure assignments, if you have any selection criteria enter, and then save as variant.
2) 2)I believe Process flow to create process chain:
Generate CVC's-->Planning Area Intialization>Load Planning Area Vesrion--
>Calculate Proportional Factors
Please correct if the process flow is not right.
Correct
3) ) Is it require to check the adjust time series for generating CVC's for every time?
Yes, it is required.
4) How to generate the proportional factors for all the products in the single job?I assume that need to create a single selection ID which has all Characteristic values and assign this while creating the Proportional factors.Please correct me if i am wrong.
if you use mc8v t-code and provide planning area & infocube, it will ask for version name and dates, once u enter this info, proportional factors will get created.

AFAB dynamic variant creation for Posting period.

HI,
Business Requirement :
Business want to run AFAB transaction code every month automatically with schedule job.
system should pick present month period in posting period field.
i checked in variant creation against posting period there is no dynamic " D " in selection variable column.
how can i fix this.

Hi Jani,
Check with abaper if TVARV table can Help you in this case, or create a z program from AFAB. And add date field to it, and schedule job based on that,
I think TVARV table will be a better approach.
Another point to consider here would be that dep should be run once business is ready to do so, and has its own hick ups in business if corrections are required to be made after executing AFAB by job

How can I get spool result for background mode AFAB

Dear experts,
Could you help me? My users run AFAB without run that in test mode. Therefore sometimes I have a difference in ledger (main book) and FI-AA. I am wanting to write coat for AFAB where I am runing programme in test mode and then run that in workering mode. AFAB run in background.
How can I get result first (test) run from spool? Could you tell me any solutions for that problem?
Thanks and Best Regards

You can create one warpper program which can submit the report in the background job with option to send the output to MEMORY. You can use the JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE FMs to schedule a background job.
Than you can use the FM 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' to get the results from the memory.
Like:
DATA list_tab TYPE TABLE OF abaplist.
SUBMIT report EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
              AND RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
    listobject = list_tab
EXCEPTIONS
    not_found = 1
    OTHERS     = 2.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_LIST'
    TABLES
      listobject = list_tab.
ENDIF.

Error in BIM when running in background mode

Hi,
I am facing an error when running a BIM in sm35.
The BIM runs fine with my userid in all three modes( foreground,display error mode, background mode)....but fails when the functional person is testing in background mode. The BIM runs fine in all other modes.
It gives the message when running in background mode
"No batch input data for screen SAPLMGMW 4008"
What should I check or do to correct it.
Please help.
Regards
Rashi

The BIM runs fine in Foreground mode and in Display error mode even for the functional..It is giving error only for Background mode.
I also did the following
1. Created the BIM in my id and tried running( in background) it using the other id ...it was successful
2. Created the BIM in other id and ran ( in background) using my id....it failed.
I will check again for authorisations also.

HI..,
u cannot upload a presentation server file in BACKGROUND processing mode.. because it doesnt know where to go for that file....
The solution for this problem is... save this file in Application server and upload from application server into the program..
this is the standard procedure for background processing....
TO save a file in Application server we use OPEN DATASET ... TRANSFER ... and CLOSE DATASET.. commands..

Create Quality Management view for a Material in background mode

I want to know if there is a way to create a Quality Management View (Quality Management tab) on Material Master (material already extended to plant ) in background mode.
The requirement is to add inspection setup data for a material extended to a particular plant in background. I tried using 'BAPI_MATINSPCTRL_SAVEREPLICA' to add the data and it works perfect as required. Now the problem is this BAPI is creating the inspection setup data only for the material which has QM tab in MM02 for e.g. I manually created the inspection setup for a Material from MM01 and then deleted it , now the BAPI works fine for this material because when I created an inspection setup from MM01 it created the QM tab and after i deleted the entry the tab was still there with no entry in inspection setup.
I want to create inspection setup for a material which does not have QM tab.
I have to create everything is background mode. BDC is one option which I am list interested in.
Thank you for helping in advance.

Thank you for looking into my issue. I have to do the inspection setup in background without using any front end transaction.

Variants for background jobs

You need to schedule and automate batch jobs in an organisation. There will be multiple variants and multiple steps within same batch jobs. The variants are date dependent and needs to change every day. You need to automatically change the variants every day and schedule the jobs. Also check for the failures in the jobs. Apart from that Once the jobs in one server example : R/3 server ends the jobs in BW servers should be triggered automatically. Explain all steps with proper T codes and also provide a dry run example. Also provide all the table used for the variants purpose.
Please help on this,thanks
Narendra

Hi Narendra,
The background jobs are scheduled depending on the requirement with specific variants which are both date specific and even specific sometimes. These variants are created for the programs or reports which are run in the background job ,These variants are stored in VARID table for client specific variants and
VARID_CI for client independent. For most of the times all these jobs are maintained in some job scheduling tools so that they automatically inform about job failures and processes can be automated.In our organisation we use UC4 for background job schedulign and it controls the process as you are looking for.
Please award points accordingly

Regarding Variants for Background jobs

Hi Folks
Can you please let me know the procedure how we can create the variants for Background jobs.
Points are assured for correct answers.
Regards,
kumar

Hi Sree Ram,
Check this info.
If you have any selection screen parameters for your program you need to enter the values for those fields in runtime. So, if you schedule your program in background to execute then there is no one to do this job. Here comes the concept of Variant.
With variant you define what are the selection field values in the runtime. During runtime the program picks this values and runs the program.
When you execute your program which has selection fields, you enter the values and then you click on 'GO TO ' tab and 'SAVE AS VARIANT'.
When you schedule your program in background, give this variant also. Then it will run automatically.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.

T.code for Variant creation

Hello Gurus,
What is the T.code for variant creation
regards
sapmm

Dear sapmm99,
In my understanding the default values that should be automatically reflected for the input parameters for executing any report is
referred as a variant.
Say for Eg,executing report MB52,in case if I execute the report several times with the same input,i can save the input parameters
and create that as a variant and in future i can call this variant to reduce the work load and execute the report.
For eg: enter the plant 1000,material type as FERT,some material group and click on the save icon and the system asks to enter
the variant name and the meaning and then select the check boxes for protect variant and click on copy screen assignment.
If i want to protect the entered input parameters i can select the check boxes for the same and save and come out.
Next time when i execute the same report MB52 and if I need some default values to get copied,i can get the variant by clicking on
get variant or else Shift+F5 and select the saved variant.
Check the same for the reports like ME5A.
Check and revert.

Firefox will run reasonably fast - for a while, I do have quite a few tabs open, They start out in background mode, but as soon as I access them it slows

My problem is Firefox will run reasonably fast - for a while, I do have quite a few tabs open, They start out in background mode, but as soon as I access them (to view or download from them) even if I close them as I go, FF will start to slow down and it isnt long before FF drops to a crawl sometimes taking MINUTES to answer a click on the file menu (example) no fancy benchmarks needed.
Having to restart FF and hoping your tabs come back for a temp. speedboost is NOT acceptable.
I have to restart at least 3-5x a day - anyone else think this is stupid?
I have 6 gigs ram, XP 32 only uses about 3.5 of it, 2.33ghz core duo, plenty of drive space.

I understand that after using Firefox for a while there are some issues with speed. [[Firefox is slow - How to make it faster]]
