Execute a BDC in background

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have a BDC program when it is executed online it works well , but on executing it in background the desired result is not obtained.

The basic requirement is to schedule a transaction , so i have written a BDC program which performs the desired operations .

Sometimes the transactions call different screens when they are running in the background. What transaction are you working with.

Hi, compare to running on the foreground, the background case actually has some difference.

So can you figure out which screen action you wrote in the BDC code occur the problem? Please give a more details problem description.

thanks

Hi ,

The requirement was to shedule the transaction SM19 , this transaction is being called manually at a perticular time and all the audit classes are to be selected.

Arun,

I feel that there is problem in the LOCK established by the SAP.

Hi Kamesh ,

The transaction SM19 is a security audit transaction.

When executed it creates a log

Arun - what exactly is the problem? Are you getting error messages? If so, what message and what screen? Or, is the log incorrect? Or something else?

Hi ,

My program works well when it is executed online , but when executed in the background the status of the process shows Finished , but the required operation is not done.

I am attaching my code below

Are you running this under a different user? Does this other user have the correct authorizations?

Hi ,

Yes i am running it for the same user , the program works well when executed online , the problem is when i schedule it.

Arun - what does OK code EABBR do? Try it with EABBR rather than /EABBR. It's a long shot.

Rob

[Former Member]

Rob ,

SM19 is a security audit transaction , and the ok code EABBR activates the audit.

Regards

Arun

[Former Member]

Rob ,

I tried the ok code EABBR insted of /EABBR , but the same problem persists.

When you run it in foreground, do you run it with mode = 'N'?

Rob

[Former Member]

Rob ,

Yes i have tried running it in all the three modes in foreground and they all work fine .

[Former Member]

I don't see ok-code eabbr in the program. What version of SAP are you using and can you point us to the program/include and line where it's being checked?

Rob

[Former Member]

Hi Rob ,

I am using 4.6C Version .

The OK code EABBR is at the second last line in the program.

Regards

Arun

[Former Member]

What program (include)?

Rob

[Former Member]

Arun,

There are some transactions that can only run On-line and cannot run in Background.

So check for that before investigating further!!!

Thanks

Hi Arun,

It may be worthwhile to debug the finished Job using 'JDBG'... In SM37: Select the job, type JDBG in the command window & it will take you into the debug mode...

Good luck,

hi ,

i have executed ur program. in that ,there is a popup window is appearing this was not handle by any ok code try to handle that popup window, i hope it will work on background also.and use bdcmsgcoll in the call transaction this may some times use full to check the error and where the transaction have stopped

[Former Member]

Hi Arun,

Any BDC will not run in Background if you have messages coming up in the foreground, be it any message.

I wanted to know, whether you press enter key or something in foreground when the BDC stops/pops up messages in ur status bar at some point in the foreground. I think u should correct such errors first.
