How to do debugging for a batch job?

[Former Member]

Hi Colleague,

I created a batch job via t-code sm36 in SAP GUI, and added a report to this batch job, there is no problem to run this report directly, but fails to run the batch job. How can I do debugging for this batch job?

Kind Regards

Hi,

if you rin the programm directly its executed in foreground. When scheduling a batch job, its executed in background. This may cause the problem.

you can catch the batch-job in transaction SM50 / SM51 and jump into debugger.

There are a number of ways to do this:

1. select active job in sm37.

2. type "jdbg" command in command field.

   No need to type /n or /o .

3. Double click the job , it will go in debug mode.

           OR

1. Go to sm50 .

2. place the cursor on active job.

3. goto program mode> Debugging

Hi Arun VS,

Now I can do debugging, when I invoke the following standard function module, there is a dialog box popped up for doing security check. How can I prevent it from being popped up in a batch job?

............................................................

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

    EXPORTING

      filename                = lv_full_path

      filetype                = 'ASC'

      codepage                = lv_codepage

      write_bom               = ip_bom

    IMPORTING

      filelength              = lv_file_length

    TABLES

      data_tab                = gt_xml

    EXCEPTIONS

      file_write_error        = 1

      no_batch                = 2

............................................................

Hi,

GUI-DOWNLOAD not working in background. Search forum, for further information.

If u need to do it in background, 1 way is to change the programm and read from appication server.

Hi Andie,

You can't execute the presentation layer related task like what you doing the GUI_DOWNLOAD during background jobs. You have download or upload to application layer.

The popup is coming from GUI security which can be prevented by clicking remember me checkbox for one time and Allow or changing the GUI security parameter

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Stefan,

This function module is standard, I cannot change its coding. And I try to input several import parameters but no one can be used to prevent this dialog box from being popped up. Is there another way to run it in background?

Hi Andie,

GUI_DOWNLAOD will not work for  background job , only in foreground and job is failing not because of the popup. GUI_DOWNLOAD needs GUI interaction.

As I told earlier, in GUI security some rule related to download file might have set as ASK.

Thanks & Regards,
