Write to spool even when job abends?

There's got to be a way to do this, but I can't seem to find it. I have several background jobs, each of which writes some diagnostic information to the spool. That diagnostic information would be most useful in cases where the job terminates unsuccessfully. But, in those cases, the spool is never saved, and all that information is lost.
I know I can write to the job log instead of the spool, but is there a way other than the log to obtain\show that information? Assume that my program is robust enough to capture all error conditions before terminating.

Hello Chris,
I'm sure you might be knowing this, but shall post it here anyways, just in case it skipped your mind.
When you run a background job, the job will abend when either of the following types of message are issued in the program:
1. Warning Message ( Type W )
2. Error Message ( Type E )
3. Abend Message ( Type A )
4. Short Dump Message ( Type X )
In case of either an Abend Message or a Short Dump Message, the entire spool list is erased and thereafter unavailable.
However, in case of either an error message or a warning message, the contents of the spool till the point where the message has occurred are retained.
So, in your case, I suspect that there are some abend messages in the program, issued upon erroneous conditions. If you could change them to ERROR messages (or WARNING messages as you deem appropriate), the spool list is not destroyed.
For your further understanding, I have included the following code snippet.
=======================================================
do 10 times.
write : / sy-index.
case sy-index.
when 3.
message s702(bctrain).
when 5.
message i702(bctrain).
when 7.
message w702(bctrain). " or message e702(bctrain).
endcase.
enddo.
=======================================================
The above program, when scheduled as a background job will get abended, but will retail the spool list :
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
After 7, the warning message abends the job and no other numbers are printed.
Hope this explanation would help you overcome your problem.

Anand Mandalika.

SM37: job sends message even when report list is empty

Dear gurus,
I run job over transaction VD59 - the result of this report is sent to recepient via email. Even when VD59 gives no results (no rows), recepient receives empty message.
Can I somehow set that in the case of empty result list job sends no message?

How do you set the number of rows in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

How do you set the number of rows you want in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

After the discovery reported above, I filed this report :
Bug ID# 10073038
Summary:
When Numbers is used on a system with decimal comma a csv file may be good AND wrong
Steps to Reproduce:
With Numbers v2, you introduced an interesting enhancement.
In system using the comma as decimal separator, Numbers requires csv files using the semi-colon as values delimiter.
In fact it’s true if we OPEN the document dragging its icon on Numbers one or thru the open dialog.
This said.
(1) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'semi-colon' standard on a table or on a sheet
(2) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'comma' standard on a table or on a sheet
Expected Results:
Every normally constituted user assume that in
case (1) he will get a perfectly built table
case (2) he will get every cells of a row in a single cell
Actual Results:
In fact you forgot the drag and drop way of use and in
case (1) every values separated by semi-colon are inserted in a single cell
case (2) values separated by comma are correctly spread in a table
isn’t it ridiculous ?
Regression:
Except looking in QuickView to see which is exactly the structure of the file to decide the way we will insert it in a Numbers document, we may use an applescript fair enough to replace the semi-colons by TAB characters
or
to replace the commas by TABs and the decimal periods by commas
Notes:
While I am on this subject, I wish to make two proposals:
(1) It would be fine to format the date according to the ISO format year-mm-dd when you export a Numbers doc to csv.
Doing that, dates would be imported correctly in every countries.
At this time, on an English system, you export as mm/dd/year.
If the doc is open on a system using the format dd/mm/year, the results will be odd.
On a system using the format dd/mm/year, you export this way and so, if the doc is open on a system using the format mm/dd/year the results are odd too.
As every localized versions accept the ISO format (at least on entry), using it in the export scheme would give a correct behavior everywhere.
(2) It would be fine to add the format Tab Separated Values in the Export pane.
TSV + ISO date format would give documents opening flawlessly everywhere.

Is there any way to trace my session even when i forgot to fire spool

Is there any way to trace my session even when i forgot to fire
spool [file name] .................

No, not as fa as I know.
Traces of a session and spool are not related.
You need to set an audit trail to trace a session.
Spool simply spools to a file your work in SQL*Plus.
Hope this Helps

Changing the file format of spool output when scheduling a background job.

Hello Experts,
I have an issue. It is related to Spool output format. I created a job for one report program for which the output is a list output. I have added one recipient in the 'Spool list recipient' while creating the job SM36. After the job is finished the spool output is sent to the recipient mail id as .htm format as an attachment. But the attachment should be excel sheet or text file. No coding in the program should be used to convert the file format. Only settings in the spool while creating job should be manipulated. Please help me in solving this issue.
Regards.

Hi Sunil,
You can use the logic for converting spool to PDF using program : RSTXPDFT4 . Alternatively you can use FM: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF . In this FM you need to pass the Spool id .
u can make use of these FM's SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
Check out the following wiki:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ConvertsspoolrequestintoPDFdocumentand+emails
hope this will use full to you.
Thanks!!

Email multiple spools from background job - SM36 using Spool List recipient

I create a background job using Spool List Recipient to email me the reports. The program that I scheduled to run creates 2 spools. When the spools are sent via email, only the last spool is sent.
Please advise on how I can get the 2 spools sent via email.

i would not use the Spool List recipient from Job and use the function RSPO_SPOOLJOB_TO_OFFICE in your Program instead.
tell me if it helps.

Laurent

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec bash
in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Looking for a way to log privilege adds even when the user has that priv

We've run into a situation where we want IDM to log privilege adds/removes, even when that privilege already exists (for add) or doesn't exist (for remove) on a person. Let me give some background.
We are a small team working on an IDM project, each team member with 6-30 months of experience with the IDM product. We're using 7.1.
We have two systems, one of which is queryable and (certain) privileges updatable via REST API -- we'll call this system REST. The second system of course is IDM.
When an IDM privilege is added or removed, the business requirement is to always keep IDM and REST in sync, privilege-wise. This is no problem and we have provisioning set up to make the API call, and it works great. However, if there is a problem with the REST API (network issue, just plain down, etc.) this sync can't happen. So, within the provisioning framework, if there is a failure, the failure is logged and the privilege is reverted, keeping REST and IDM synced. A job runs regularly to check this log table and re-attempt the appropriate action, which of course will trigger provisioning again, hopefully successfully.
The problem occurs in a situation like this, where each point comes in chronological order.
1. User X gets privilege Y granted within an IDM UI.
2. Provisioning triggers, but for some reason the REST API call fails (twice, because of retry).
3. The failure task for the REST API call removes privilege Y from user X. The error is logged.
4. After a while, some job runs which removes privilege Y from all users whose names begin with X. Even if the job explicitly removes privilege Y from user X, this is not logged in the system in any way, doesn't trigger provisioning, etc.
5. After another while, the "retry job" runs and attempts action #1 again. This time, the provisioning succeeds. Now user X has privilege Y on both IDM and REST. However, because of step 4, clearly user X should not have privilege Y.
The same (well, reverse) issue occurs when removing the priv in step 1 and doing a grant in step 4. During tests, one can just set up a To Identity Center step and remove/assign a privilege to an arbitrary person, then run the job containing this step repeatedly. If the action has no net effect, there's no record (in, for example, sentries, oentries, or indeed in mxi_(old)values). It would be great if there was a generic way to cause these actions to be logged, and we've actually thought of a couple other cases where this logging would be useful as well. Is there some simple way? Is it already logged in some esoteric table we haven't thought of?
Any thoughts on this interesting scenario would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
If I understand correctly, since you are using the log to ensure that the privileges are synced.
Any chance you could enhance step 4 to remove information about the failed assignment from the log, so that it will not be retried?
Note also, that this is improved in IdM7.2 and the framework. You will only get the privilege assigned after the add-member task has successfully assigned the privilege in the back-end system (which is what you are trying to achieve).

Create spool for background jobs which uses submit statement

Hi Gurus,
             I have a quick question regarding the backgroud jobs. When we run a program in the background , it should create a spool for us, but, the problem comes when I am running a program in the background, its not creating the spool. This program uses SUBMIT statement. This program collects the data and it will submit to the other program and then retuen. In this case, its not creating a spool. Its very important for us to look at the spool for this program. Does anybody cam across this kind of problem? I need ur inputs.
Thanks in advance, <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Regards,
Srinivas.

SSIS package works in development environment but fails when job scheduler executes, file path invalid

SIS package works in development environment but fails when job scheduler executes, file path invalid
Relatively simple package to get OLE-DB connection to MS FoxPro 9.0 DB
The failure in the job log states that the path is invalid its a network path (\\192.168.1.xxx\foldername) this has been run several ways with the remote computer being mapped as a network drive and through the \\ notation described above.
Thinking it was a security issue between the SQL agent account and my account I tested by subsitution myself as a proxy account for the agent when running this job, again same result failed on network path.
One issue I see is that the remote computer is running Server 2000 (legacy software incompatable with newer versions)
Is it possible that this is a security issue, since if i understand correctly the current MS domain security model didn't exist until Server 2003.

Hi REIData,
Have you got the issue resolved? Based on your description, please make sure the target folder is shared properly. If the computer on which the SQL Server Agent job runs doesn’t join the domain as the server that hosts the shared folder, you have to share
the folder with everyone by adding “Everyone” to the people list on the File Sharing page of the folder and assign "Read/Write" permission to it.

IPhoto churns, then says iPhoto quit unexpectedly, even when I've tried restoring it.

IPhoto has crashed. It churns then says iPhoto has quit unexpectedly even when I tried the command/option open and restore. When I have searched for it other places, it says, "iPhoto on locked volume. Reopen when you have read/write access or reopen IP with option dey held down to choose another library." Nothing I have tried has worked.

Couple of things to try:
Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
If that fails:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

My program always displays the same image, even when I change th image file

I'm making a program that chooses an image file from a dialog, resize it and copy it into a folder. When the image is needed to be displayed, the image file is read and a JLabel displays it on screen.
When I upload the first image, everything works fine. The problem appears when I upload another picture: the displayed image is still the first image, even when the old file doesn't exist anymore (because it has been overwritten). It looks like the image has been "cached", and no more image are loaded after the first one.
This function takes the image picture chosen by the user, resizes it, and copy it into the pictures folder:
    private void changeProfilePicture() {
        JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
        jFileChooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
        jFileChooser.setFileFilter(new ImageFileFilter());
        int result = jFileChooser.showOpenDialog(sdbFrame);
        if (JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION == result) {
            try {
                //upload picture
                File file = jFileChooser.getSelectedFile();
                InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
                //resize image and save
                BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(is);
                BufferedImage resizedImage = resizeImage(image, 96, 96);
                String newFileName = sdbDisplayPanel.getId() + ".png";
                String picFolderLocation = db.getDatabaseLocation() + "/" +
                        PROFILE_PICTURE_FOLDER;
                java.io.File dbPicFolder = new File(picFolderLocation);
                if(!dbPicFolder.exists()) {
                    dbPicFolder.mkdir();
                String newFilePath = picFolderLocation + "/" + newFileName;
                File newFile = new File(newFilePath);
                FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (newFilePath);
                DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (fos);
                ImageIO.write(resizedImage, "png", dos);
                dos.close();
                fos.close();
                //set picture
                sdbDisplayPanel.setImagePath(newFilePath);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                System.err.println("Could'nt print picture");
            }This other class actually displays the image file in a JLabel:
    public void setImagePath(String imagePath) {
        count++;
        speaker.setImagePath(imagePath);
        this.imagePath = imagePath;
        if(imagePath != null)   {
            //use uploaded picture
            try {
                File tempFile = new File(imagePath);
                System.out.println(tempFile.length());
                java.net.URL imgURL = tempFile.toURI().toURL();
                ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL);
                pictureLbl.setIcon(icon);
                // Read from a file
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(SDBEventClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        else    {
            //use default picture
            URL imgURL = this.getClass().getResource("/edu/usal/dia/adilo/images/noProfile.jpg");
            ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL, "Profile picture");
            pictureLbl.setIcon(icon);
    }

When you flush() the image, you don't need to construct a new ImageIcon each time, a simple repaint() will suffice.
Run this example after changing the URL to an image you can edit and update while the program is running.import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FlushImage {
   Image image;
   JLabel label;
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            new FlushImage().makeUI();
   public void makeUI() {
      try {
         ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(new URL("file:///e:/java/dot.png"));
         image = icon.getImage();
         label = new JLabel(icon);
         JButton button = new JButton("Click");
         button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
               image.flush();
               label.repaint();
         JFrame frame = new JFrame("");
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         frame.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
         frame.add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
         frame.pack();
         frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
         frame.setVisible(true);
      } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
}db

Write to spool even when job abends?
