cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute in function module

[Former Member]

Hello  all,

I created a function module and i use cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute method in this FM to trigger a BAT file in local computer.

When i run this function module in debug mode, i simply run this method with F6 and it works,  but when i call this FM directly without debugging, this method doesnt work.

I read that this class doesnt work in background process. So how does it work in debug mode? Is there a way to run this method in function module?

Thanks..

Hello,

if you are working in debugging-mode, your report has an active connection to your local workstation through SAP GUI. With this connection, it is possible to create lcoal files via the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

If your report is running in batch-mode, you cannot access to your local workstation, because there is no one. All things are running on an workprocess-instance on your application server having no GUI-connection.

At least, you cannot know, which user has started your report in background and create a file on his workstation.

Kind regards,

Hendrik

Hi Aydin,

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class does not work for BG or other GUI functions....find alternate solution.

And as per knowledge debug mode is forground mode process.

Thanks,
