Background Transaction

Former Member — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:43:46 GMT

Hi there,

We have a custom transaction which is based on a SAP standard one.

On the selection screen there is an option for 'File Store' where a file can

be created locally.

If I run this transaction in the foreground the following pop up appears:

Can anyone tell me how I can supress this pop up because I want to be able

to schedule this in the background and this pop up is preventing it from

working

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy

I dont think in background you can interact with presentation server.

Hi Andy,

If the file storing location and file name is constant i.e fixed and will not require any interaction then only its possible to bypass this pop up and directly to save the file to the presentation server.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Tooshar,

Yep the file name/location will be fixed so how can I bypass the pop up??

Thanks

Hi Andy,

As you said that it is a custom transaction, so this will require to modify the program with the file name / location parameters. There are function modules which directly download the data to specified fixed location.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi Andy, indeed like Tooshar said, you should customize the transaction further.

Next to this, it's also not possible to upload during a background process. Therefor, you need to upload the file to the sap file server (al11), from there you can fetch file content in the background.

Good luck!

Best,

Sander
