Hi,

Whenever third part tool wants to trigger the report to be run in SAP, should generate a file in a specific folder. In SAP You should have a small program in ABAP running in background at a specirfic interval, depending on requirement, once this program senses a file in thie specific folder it should trigger the SAP report by passing the content of that file to the report program, Once report is thru report program should move the file generated by the third party toll in the fixed folder to another folder say 'XXX' so that same data wont' be processed again.

I hope this helps,

Regards

Hi raju,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have already tried out the thing. But the system should be of a real time. In case of any delay the batch mode will fall into failure. Thats why i am looking for triggering the report program from the third party tool.

Anyway thanks.

Hi,

If you run the background program continuously then it is a real time triggering, I am sorry but I do not understand what is your worry.
