What is the spool, what is its role in background job scheduling

Hi,
I want to know what is meant by Spool request and spool number generated.
Tell about transaction SP01.
How it is linked to Background job scheduling.
thanks.
sam.

Hi,
Refer this link.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/inf?rid=/library/uuid/7a5f4061-0a01-0010-c9bc-a4e4cb100438
About SP01.
Printing does not work in SAP. There is a printer definition for your local printer, but it does not work. Presuming that you use the program SAPLPD on your computer.
Boot your computer and start only the SAPLogon and the SAPLpd program.
Delete all of your old print jobs in the SAP system (Transaction SP01).Generate only one new print job.
Check that there is enough resource in your computer. Check the free memory (Win 3.1x) and the free disk space (The lists are temporarily saved on your disk).
Open the SAPLPD and read the print log in the window. The printer definition must correspond with the parameters shown here.
Check that the standard printer is on the same lpt (Win 3.1: Control panel, Printer) as defined for the printer (usually lpt1).
In Transaction SP01 read the protocol of your print job. Do not generate new print jobs! Wait till the SAP system changes the status of the print job.
If you can not find the print job in SP01 anymore, then the print job was successfully printed out. If it didn't come out on your printer and the SAPLpd didn't indicate an incoming print job, then the connection was realised with another PC. Then SAP printer definition you used, does not correspond with your computer.
Scheduling Background Jobs:
1.        Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
2.        To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
company codes).
3.        While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
a.        Time of printing: set to u201CSend to SAP spooler Only for nowu201D
b.        Name u2013 abbreviated name to identify the job output
c.        Title u2013 free form description for the report output
d.        Authorization u2013 a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
e.        Department u2013 set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f.        Retention period u2013 set to u201CDo not deleteu201D if the report output needs to be retained for more
than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
Configuring user access:
1.        To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
2.        To access a particular jobu2019s output in the spool, the user must have
S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
3.        Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
BASE access (display).
On-line reports:
1.        Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
from R/3. If a user clicks u201CParametersu201D button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
u201CScheduling background jobsu201D section. Thus any output created by an online report
can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
(access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
attributes, see p. 3.d of u201CScheduling background jobsu201D section).
Access to reportu2019s output:
1.        A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
2.        The selection screen can be configured by clicking u201CFurther selection
criteriau2026u201D button (e.g. to bring u201CSpool request name (suffix 2)u201D field or hide other
fields).
3.        The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled jobu2019s outputs)
a.        Spool request name (suffix 2) u2013 corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
u201CScheduling background jobsu201D section above).
b.        Date created u2013 to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c.        Title u2013 corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in u201CScheduling background jobsu201D
section above).
d.        Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in u201CScheduling
background jobsu201D section above).
4.        Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button   to
retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
5.        From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
Configuring user access)
a.        Click the Print button   to print the spool request with the default attributes
(usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
specified when a job was created.
b.        Click the u201CPrint with changed attributedu201D button   to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c.        Click the u201CDisplay contentsu201D button   to preview the spool request contents. A
Print    and Download   functions are available from the preview mode.
Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request
Use
You want to export the contents of a spool request as a text file to the SAP GUI working directory or to a directory of your choice. The content of the spool request is downloaded as plain text without, for example, graphics, images, or specific fonts.
The following procedures are irrelevant for the PDF-based form printing integrated as of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, since the print data can be opened and stored as a PDF. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
Procedure
Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory:
Choose Spool Request ® Forward® Export as Text.
The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.
A file of this type is named using the following pattern:
.txt
Example: ABC0000004327.txt
You require appropriate authorization for this function.
Exporting to a Directory of Your Choice:
With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed and you then download the screen list as a text file to the directory of your choice.
       1.      Select the spool request to be exported and choose Display Contents.
       2.      In the case of SAPScript/Smart Forms documents, activate list display by choosing Goto.
       3.      Choose System ® List ® Save ® Local File.
       4.      Choose one of the available formats and confirm your choice.
       5.      Choose a directory and save the spool request.
By default, only the first 10 pages of a spool request are saved in a file. You can increase the number of pages to be saved by choosing Goto ® Display Requests ® Settings and making the desired entries in the Display Area group box.

What is the use of this form?

Hi all,
What is the use of this form in include RV61B901?
How does this code send any information to the program calling it? Is Sy-subrc global so that main program will know the reuslts?
Code:
FORM KOBED_901.
DATA : l_anzpk LIKE likp-anzpk.
SELECT SINGLE anzpk FROM likp
                      INTO l_anzpk
                      WHERE vbeln = komkbv2-vbeln.
IF l_anzpk NE 0.
    sy-subrc = 4.
    exit.
ENDIF.
sy-subrc = 0.
ENDFORM.
Thanks,
Charles.

Hello,
This form sets the value of sy-subrc(which is global) based
on the value of l_anzpk.

What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

Hi All,
         What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
for example
SELECT kostl
      FROM pa0001
      INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
      WHERE pernr EQ pernr
      AND endda GE sy-datum.
    ENDSELECT.
I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
please help me out...
Thanks,
santosh.

Hi,
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

Dear Friends
In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
What is the use of it?
Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
Thanking You
Arun

Arun biswal,
Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
For Ex Gross Value --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
Finally we have TOTAL --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
Routines are used to facilitate your process....

What is the use of creating a detail object on a measure.

Hi Experts,
In BI 4.X business layer, we can create a detail object of a dimension and as well as measure.
Can you please let me know what could be the use of the detail object of a measure object?
In the business layer, it is showing like this...
<Measure object>
-><Detail Object>
Dimensions have attributes, we create those attributes as details objects.
when we want to see the different grains of the measure in one report. we will use these details objects.
Example:
1. Query 1 returns country, sales revenue
2. Query 2 Returns Country,State,Sales revenue.
But in the report if we want to show the State wise Revenue. It is not possible bcz both the quires are returning different grain.
state object is incompatible object, so you can't drag the object into report.
in this scenario we will merge the Country dimension , create the state object as details with merged dimension, then you can drag the state details detail object.
this will give expected results Country and State wise revenue.
Normally Dimensions and details objects will drives the measures values in report.
So, Detail object on measure not helpful in case of relational database(Please correct me if i am wrong). It is useful only for OLAP database because when I have created a webi report on top of BEx query then it is automatically created a detail object on measure object.
As far I know, 'Measure attribute' introduced for OLAP based business layer. which can provides information for the formatted value like unit, currency or value.
For example:-
Amount is key figure in BEx query and when I have created Webi report on top of that then it will create three object.
1. Amount as meausre.
->2. Amount currency(detail).
->3. Amount formatted value(detail).
Below is the output after running the report.
Amount || Amount currency || Amount formatted value
30 || $ || 30.00
8 || $ || 8.00
I have found one difference, We can't implement the index awareness on detail object which we have created on measure object although we can implement the index awareness on detail object which we have created on top dimension object.
But Still I am looking for good example of Detail object on measure object..
Any thought would be welcome...
Thanks,
Sachin

What is the use of Data packet dim with Virtual cube with services

Hi Friends,
Could anybody tell me what is the use of Packet dimension in Virtual cube with services , It cannot contain data persistently ,Just fetch at runtime,Then there is no Physical load happening,Then why it should be automatically created for this??
Message was edited by: Pradeep choudhari

Hi Maik,
Unit dimension will not be created automatically until and unless you have keyfigure referning units..
But my question is : Why should we have data pack dimension , which is useless in this case of Virtual cube with services.It should not be created automatically!! What do you say??

What is the use of Withholding tax identification number field?

Hello SAP Experts,
I posted this question earlier but had to close because of no replies from anybody. Posting it again to see if I am lucky to get some answer this time.
Can someone tell what is the use of field Withholding Tax Identification Number? Does it help with the reporting? Where does it get populated on the report if given at vendor or master record or within the withholding tax customization for company code? What is the difference between creating it in the customization for withholding tax information for company code and vendor/customer master record?
As per SAP: Withholding tax identification number
This is a number issued by the tax authorities per withholding tax type.
This number must be specified in Customizing either:
(a) As part of the withholding tax information defined for the company code, or
(b) As part of the withholding tax information defined in the customer or vendor master record.

Hi Pete,
The only thing that I could check is the content used in US:
See content of this field for US:
LFA1-STCD1 Social security number
LFA1-STCD2 Employer identification number
LFBW-WT_WTSTCD Withholding tax identification number for WT Type
In order to populate it, please kindly check the following:
The reason why you cannot fill in the field WT_WTSTCD in transaction
Fk02 however you can do it in XK02 (Change vendor centrally) can be due
to wrong customizing of the field status group.
Kindly check the following:
SPRO->
Finantial accounting -> Accounts receivable and accounts payable ->
Define screen layout per activity (vendors) -> Change Vendor(Accounting)
Company code data -> W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 ->
FIELD Withholding tax code,w/h tax 2 will be probably just available to
display. Please, change it to optional entry.
I hope I could be of assistance.
Kind Regards,
Fernando Evangelista

What is the use of HTTPS 8181 port

Hi,
I am wondering what is the use of the port 8181 on the EE5 application server.
the second question. Why the application server open so many port on the same local machine. I agree that for security raison it is a good idea. But does application serveur use tcp connection to communicate between the server thread ?
So it is possible to add a thread in the serveur application to process some internal work. And of course it is possible to include this new thread in the communication process of the server ?
Can we have the map of all the tcp trhead use by the server application.
Regards
Herve Terrolle.

Your app has to run as root to listen on ports up to 1024,
also, some other app (apache?) may already be listening on port 443.
AFAICT port 8181 is just arbitrarily chosen, it might as well have been port 4430, or any other free port above 1024.

ORA-16196: database has been previously opened and closed
Cause: The instance has already opened and closed the database, which is allowed only once in its lifetime.
Action: Shut down the instance.

If you read the documentation you will see that there is no ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command.
This is an undocumented Oracle command, which we are not supposed to use. Consequently we are not allowed to complain about the way that it works. Instead we're supposed to use SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

What happens if I switch off the "Use Cellular Data for Facetime"?

So I got a notice saying that my phone's storage was almost full which makes no sense to me because I barely have about 300 pictures on my phone, barely any apps, but I do have music. I have mail turned OFF, and I am always on WIFI. I don't know how this is a problem.
So what would happen if I pressed the switch off button for the "Use Cellular Data for: facetime"?
I use facetime A LOT with my friends WHILE ON WIFI but if this is causing my storage to go so full, I will do it.
Please heLP!

Using cellular data has nothing to do with the storage capacity on your phone. By turning it off you will only be able to FaceTime when your connected to wifi, thus saving you on your data plan if you do not have unlimited data from your carrier.
You can go to settings > usage to view what is filling up the capacity of your phone. You should import and back up your pictures to your computer following the directions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
