How to force Functional Module to use Batch-Process ?

axel_moschuering — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:04:43 GMT

Hello all,

I am calling a FM via synchronous RFC. No matter what I try the functional module is started

in a dialog process in the remote system. This is inconvinient because sometimes the process takes too long and a timeout occurs. I also tried transactional RFC and asynchronos RFC but no difference here.

The FM will always be executed in a dialog process.

How can I tell the functional module to use a batch process ?

Thank you for your answers,

Axel

hi,

use

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_START_BATCHJOB_IN_OTHER_SYS'

EXPORTING

repid = 'sy-repid' " "Program name

variant = 'VAR'

JOBNAME =
CALL_BACK_DEST =
CALL_BACK_ID =
IMPORTING
JOBCOUNT =
INDX_ID =

TABLES

valutab = it_sel.

you can set your program in batch mode using the above function module

Hi,

thank you for your answer, but I am not using a report but an functional module.

How can I tell the FM to use a batch process instead of a dialog process ?

Thank you and best wishes,

Axel

Hi,

thank you for your answer.

I tried this already. As far as I know, this will only trigger transactional RFC (i.e. FM in

Remote System is started after a COMMIT WORK); it does not state that the FM in the remote

system will run in a batch process.

Any other ideas ?

Thank you all,

Axel

Hi Axel, were you able to figure this out back then? I have a similar requirement now to force FM to run in batch.

Hi,

not really. If I remember correctly I encapsulated the FM in an report an called this in a background job.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Axel
