SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE in background

Former Member — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 09:23:08 GMT

Hi all.

Does the FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE can be activated within background mode?

When I activate the abap program that includes the above FM within a periodic job it's not being executed.

Any reason for that?

Thanks in advance,

Rebeka

It's working fine at foregound.

is it unix command , what is your application server. if your app.system is unix/aix/linux check some normal command ex:- CAT , working in background or not.

I tested it , it is working in forground and background. but i used the program. i tested for unix and windows.

if it is working in foreground and not background then that means the problem with the command , Decryption may fail in Background. check wity the documentation of the command.

the below is for the windows NT, if you want to test it for Unix then change the to Unixcom = 'ls -al *'.

REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.

data : unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
        line(400),
      end of tabl.
data: lines type i.
*----------------------------------------------------------------------
start-of-selection.
  refresh tabl.
  unixcom = 'dir'.

  call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                id 'TAB'     field tabl[].

 "if the files are different then you will some content in tabl
loop at tabl.
 write tabl-line.
endloop.

Hi all.

It's still not working.

My problem is that the external command (exe file) is activated within batch mode threw windows OS without any problems by usin batch file.

I want to use the same batch file or running its command via abap code at backgrouond mode.

It may not be possible???

Thanks again,

Can you post your code? Particularly the difference between foreground and background...

Obviously, when running it in the foreground, you are Dialog type user...

When running it in the background, is this a SYSTEM type user in a job step (which type?), or just the menu option "Program => Execute in background"?

Cheers,

Julius
