All GUI Function Modules dont run in background mode...

What is the FM you are using?

Hi,

Usually timeout issues do not affect background jobs. But yes there might be an infinite loop formed and hence the job keeps on executing. One more thing, if a background job is cancelled please check the job log once it will give you the error that has caused the job to stop.

hi ,

We also had a same issue. When running in debug mode, it executes perfectly, but when we execute directly , it doesnt work, its a time issue. just increase time . so that it will get time to save data. I hope it will solve your problem.

Hi Anil

If you use any FM which get confirmation from user (ie, YES / NO) and if the default value you've set is NO then it will not run in back ground (probably while debugging you might've answered YES).

For increasing the time, transaction RZ11 can used for which you can contact your BASIS team .
