SHDB background processing problem

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

We have created an SHDB program that uses a 'call transaction' to a custom Z transaction.

When we run this program In foreground mode it performs perfectly and  creates all the objects it's supposed to.

However, when running this SHDB program in background mode  in transaction SE38, it does nothing.

Does anyone know how to correct this issue? How do we run an SHDB in background mode successfully?

Thanks, 

Fernando

Hi Fernando,

some transactions like i.e. MM01 use different screen sequences in  foreground and background. The SHDB recording allows you set simulate backround mode. Then you get the backround acreen sequence.

You should use Simulate Background processing when using SHDB and use that recording when you are using BDC.

This issue happened because we had an TEXT EDIT control in our Z transaction. Thankfully we weren't using it, and we solved the problem by eliminating this field from the transaction program.

Apparently, SHDB Batch Inputs cannot be run in background if it has some special controls in the transaction.

Thank you all for your helpful replies.

Best regards,

Fernando

Yes. In background you can not use GUI controls. But you can't control them by batch input anyway - no matter if backround or connected to a GUI online.

Hi Fernando,

Try to call the transaction using Session method and run it in Background using the following code,

  Constants:C_SESSION  TYPE APQ_GRPN   VALUE 'ZBDC'.        " Session Name

  SUBMIT RSBDCSUB EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY

    WITH MAPPE EQ C_SESSION

    WITH VON   EQ SY-DATUM

    WITH BIS   EQ SY-DATUM

     AND RETURN.
