read the job log and tell us what it says

[Former Member]

Job started

Step 001 started (program ZCREATEPDF, variant , user ID DSAHIB)

TEMSE_OPEN o.k. for SPOOL0000031998

PDF data of length 32634 created

ABAP/4 processor: RAISE_EXCEPTION

Job cancelled

Error analysis

A RAISE statement in the program "CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES======CP" raised the

exception

condition "CNTL_ERROR".

Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior

program, processing was terminated.

Hi,

Are you using any GUI related activities like uploading a file from a presentation server or downloading a file etc,, From the error analysis text it seems ur using something related to GUI. Kindly confirm on this as no gui related activity will work in background job.

Hi,

you are right, but I have removed that portion which ask the location to store the file.

I have hardcoded the path.

Well dude even if you hard code the path, if you are using gui_upload or gui_download wont work if the job is scheduled as background job. When the program is run in background job, the SAP system is completely independent and any operations related to presentation sever wont work. The only solution is to upload or download the data to the application server instead of presentation server. Hope you are clear now.

Hi,

As i suggested use application server for download or upload files instead of presentaion server. There is no other solution available for this if you are running the program as a background job.

Dear Singh,

<li>After converting data into PDF file, you may be downloading pdf into desktop. In background you can not download or upload files. It is clear and confirmed.

<li>In your case, you may be hardcoded file path, but dealing presentation server in background impossible.

<li>Instead you can download to Application server using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER and CLOSE DATASET.

Thanks

Hi,

After converting the spool output to PDF using 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF',

Try the following,

data: dsn(100) value '/usr/sap/xfr/FIS/testpdf'.              " Application server Path

OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
 
LOOP AT it_pdf_output.
  TRANSFER it_pdf_output-field TO dsn.
ENDLOOP.

close dataset dsn.

[Former Member]

I have done below mentioned code. But it is not generating PDF file or text file.

data: dsn(100) value 'c:\abcpdf.pdf'.

OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

LOOP AT pdf.

TRANSFER pdf-tdline TO dsn.

ENDLOOP.

close dataset dsn.

Here you have given a presentation server path. OPEN DATASET statement is used for application server path. Goto Tcode AL11 to check the application server path and give the appropriate path. After executing the program again go to AL11 and the specified path. There you will find the created file.

Please also search for the difference between presentation and application server in SCN first.

[Former Member]

'c:\abcpdf.pdf' is presentation server path. for presentation server you just need GUI_DOWNLOAD.

OPEN DATASET is only used for application servers
