IN BACKGROUND TASK timming out

[Former Member]

I have a program that calls a FM in background task but times out in 30 mins.  Is there any way to have this not time out?  Or should I use the SUBMIT command?

IN BACKGROUND TASK

Submit

And there is always the option to work in several smaller packages of data to prevent the function module timing out.

According to my understanding you have to find out the root cause of poor performance. You can use ST05 for performance analysis.

The better way is to use a submit program. Using Job open FM, submit command and then job close FM. The background task in a function module will be used with a RFC, and the time out is configurable by basis team, but for a general rule the time is not much time.

Create a background job ans use submit, the IN BACKGROUND TASK are executed in interactive process so get the same TIME OUT than transactions.
