Well the job log clearly tells you that you cannot save file in the presentation server (PC) while running in background. Is that not clear enough?

Hi,

I am runing a background job that generate PM work orders Program Name : RISTRA20.

The job log displays the following message - "In background processing, saving to a PC file is not possible."

Can you please tell me the next action to make the job success.

Hi ,

You cannot store files in your desktop (presentation server) through a background job. You will have store the file in application server.

Hi Salini,

The program RISTRA20 tries to save a file and it has options to save both in the presentation server and application server. Since you are scheduling the job in background, it will not work if you are trying to save the file in the PC. Instead, in the selection screen of the program choose the option Unix File and give the path of application server file, which can be checked in AL11. It would work then without failing.

Hi Vikranth,

Thank you

We have selected the Unix radio button in our selection screen,but not given the file path...

Is this throwing the error??

[Former Member]

Obviously it will throw a error if you donot specify a path. Goto transaction AL11 and select a suitable path and use it in the program.
