Dear Ishita,

In background job if you want to read file data then it should be only from application server...BG job cant read data from system..

So please explain...if not reading from application server (OPEN CLOSE DATASET) then its not possible ...

Hi Ishita,

Have you placed the excel file in Application server ( AL11 tcode). Is your program designed to upload from from application server using OPEN DATASET.

If you are using GUI_UPLOAD etc, then it works only in foreground & not in background. For background, you need to use OPEN DATASET.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Prashant

Dear Ishita,

BG job will not read data from your system...

So please put your file on application server and write a code to read that file from application server and update the same from there in sap using open dataset and read dataset...
