Generation possible status not changing

[Former Member]

hi,

I created the SOP report from specification work bench. I can view the report entry in report management but the status of the report is in " generation possible" it is not getting executed to the next status. Nor is the report getting released .

I can view the report output from specification workbench 'report from template' .

For this I created a new generation variant with the validity area and application object assigned to it.

All the ticks relevant are done in generation variant

My report template is also in released status.

Please suggest !

Whenever you get GP status (I hate this status!) in CG50, invariably it is a catch-all WWI Server failure in generating your report.

Report from Template does NOT use the WWI Server. It generates the report using the PC Generation from your own PC.

Check the status in CG5Z - WWI Monitor. Then look at the log to start to narrow down on the issue.

There are a high number of OSS notes on the subject so brace yourself and start reading.

I have an issue right now releated to the WWI server that I am going to post in a few minutes.

Look forward to reading about the resolution to your problem. Also follow the thread I am just about to start.

Hello

I totally agree to Anil. "Generation possible" is a "bad" status. To my knowlegde as explained by Anil these are "potential" reasons:

- RFC conncetion lost

- WWI Server not ready and up; or to many requests are there (I realized this this week): Therefore the WWI process ist still working but the number of documents to be generated is high and therefore it can happen that the WWI server needs 8 or more hours to handle all requests. Afterwards (if you are lucky) the reports in the queue have been generated sucessfully.

In any case: to my knowledge if non of the "normal" reasons apply and could be removed you need the "debug/replace" option because you will not be able to get this stupid report processed to the next stage. I assume that you will find some OSS notes regarding this (as mentioned by Anil) and may be in higher EH&S release (ECC 6) a "better" solution is found.

With best regards

PS: With ECC 6.0 and Enhancement Pack 3 further technical options exist in controlling the WWI process.

PPS: a quick research in the area of WWI in OSS I found something like 12 potential OSS Notes regarding this issue

Hi,

In addition to the said points also try to execute RC1WWIDS and RC1WWIWP jobs.

Hi Ashish,

The validity area for your Genberation variant and your Specification should match.

Also flag the check box for Generate manual requests automatically for Control Report Management block.

Meaning of flagging the check box is:

The indicator belongs to the generation variant and controls the further processing of manual report requests you have generated from the specification management hit list:

If the indicator is set, the SAP system generates report requests (status RR) for reports (status GS) immediately after the report requests have been created manually.

If the indicator is not set, the report requests retain status RR.

You can generate this report request further by choosing Generate in report management.

Hello Ashish,

It seems the document statuses of the report template and report is not set properly. Please refer to the sapnote # 0001091699 and follow the steps for document status configurations for document types SBE, SBV, and SBR in DMS customization.

Hope, above solves your problem.

Regards,

Pavan
