Hi,

Write a upload program and schedule it in background and remember to provide the data ready in txt form before the program starts execution.

Hi,

You can write a BDC/LSMW/BAPIs to upload the data into SAP.

Cheers,

I have upload program already, but now I use it manually at this moment.

I run that program in SE38 and finally process it in SE35.

Where is a problem? Even if I run this program "Z_shot" in background with variant it dosen't work?

After background job, job status is "Finished" but steps => output controller => status is "Waiting"

Hi,

Just run it in SE38 so that it will generate a session.

Now Goto SE35 and select the session and pres CTRL + F11 or Goto -> Background -> JobOverview.

There schedule the job whenever you want.

What function are you using to upload the file? Are you using gui_upload or similars?

The problem is when you execute the program in background you don´t use this type of functions because the Frontend unavailable.

You can put the file in server (al11) and in the program you have the upload from server
