How to capture errors when a Function module is called as BACKGROUND TASK?.Please advise.

FUNCTION ZRPM_DELETE_PROJECT_DATA_API.

*"----

---

""Local interface:

*" IMPORTING

*" VALUE(IV_EXTERNAL_ID) TYPE RPM_TV_EXTID OPTIONAL

*" VALUE(IV_PROJECT_GUID) TYPE RPM_TV_GUID OPTIONAL

*" VALUE(FLAG) TYPE BOOLEAN OPTIONAL

*" EXPORTING

*" VALUE(EV_RC) TYPE I

*" VALUE(EV_MSG) TYPE STRING

*" VALUE(ET_MSG) TYPE RPM_TT_MESSAGES

*"----

---

IF flag = cl_rpm_co=>sc_true.

Call function 'RPM_DELETE_PROJECT_DATA' IN BACKGROUND TASK

EXPORTING

IV_EXTERNAL_ID = IV_EXTERNAL_ID

IV_PROJECT_GUID = IV_PROJECT_GUID

IMPORTING

EV_RC = EV_RC

EV_MSG = EV_RC

ET_MSG = ET_MSG.

COMMIT WORK.

ELSE.

CALL FUNCTION 'RPM_DELETE_PROJECT_DATA'

EXPORTING

IV_EXTERNAL_ID = IV_EXTERNAL_ID

IV_PROJECT_GUID = IV_PROJECT_GUID

IMPORTING

EV_RC = EV_RC

EV_MSG = EV_MSG

ET_MSG = ET_MSG.

ENDIF.

ENDFUNCTION.

In above code how to capture 'EV_RC' when FM is called as background task.

Prakash,

I guess that is the flip side of calling a function as a background task. Whenever the task fails, the user will get an intimation in his Inbox.

Hi,

Please have look in the below document. You need to some settings in the debugger.

Hi Prakash,

Refer to the link

Hope it helps...

I'm not sure if it's valid for BACKGROUND TASK also, but you might try with exception ERROR_MESSAGE:

<i>ERROR_MESSAGE: This exception instructs the system to ignore S messages, I messages, and W messages until return from the function module (although they still appear in the log during background processing). When an E message or an A message occurs, the called function module terminates, as if the exception ERROR_MESSAGE has been triggered. If an A message is handled using ERROR_MESSAGE, the ROLLBACK WORK statement is triggered implicitly.</i>

Prakash,

CALL FUNCTION IN BACKGROUND TASK allows no IMPORTING parameters, so that your code will produce a syntax error.

The calling program can only handle errors of remote function calls (RFC) if these are either

- synchronous RFC (that is CALL FUNCTION ... DESTINATION ...) or

- asynchronous RFC (that is CALL FUNCTION STARTING NEW TASK ... DESTINATION ...).

Both synchronous and asynchronous RFC allow the capturing of errors by means of exceptions. But that is a different topic.
