error report in background

[Former Member]

how come when i run in the background the report goes wrong (with a message text that i have from code) while when i run the report normally from se38 it works correctly?

the report consists of downloading a file from al11 and saving it locally.

could you see it in debug after the report is launched in the background?

I read that in the background it cannot find the local path, can I do something to be able to locate the local path or anything else?

thanksss

You can't access the frontend from a background job.

NB: debugging of a background job via SM37 JDBG runs in foreground, not background.

nick.reyan,

Please note that program that deals with front end file Upload and Download cannot be run in background.

This is because the background task is not connected to the front end hence it does not understand the front end file path.

You can use Command JDBG to debug the job, you can find on debugging that the file upload/download will fail in background mode.

so it is practically impossible to download the file locally from the background?

Yes, background task is not connected to the front end hence it does not understand the front end file path.
