Hi,

I don't think there is any way to upload data from desktop in back ground.

Hi,

Look at the coding in FM GUI_UPLOAD ... This does not work in background ....

• Batch mode is not supported

IF sy-batch = 'X'.

MESSAGE ID 'FES' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '002' RAISING NO_BATCH.

ENDIF.

Hi ,

As I said in my reply you need to put the file on the application server and then use the OPEN DATASET, READ DATSET and CLOSE DATASET commands to process the file.

[Former Member]

You can't use GUI_UPLOAD in a background job as it's designed to load files from the presentation server which isn'r accessible from a background job.

For background processing you should use OPEN DATASET on a file that you've loaded to the application server.

You could add a switch in your program to allow it to run in foreground and background.

You can still load the data to your internal table and update the database in background but you can't use GUI_UPLOAD - you have to use the dataset processing commands.

Hi,

You have to use the OPEN DATASET command to read your file. The GUI_upload FM does not work in background.

Hi,

You need to put the file at application server. Use tcode - CG3Z

Then as said by other use, OPEN, READ and CLOSE dataset commands.

There is no ways to upload the file from presentation server for a background job.
