background job error .

[Former Member]

I have one Z-program and when we run the program as a background job, though the batch is successfully completed, the Billing block ( va02 --> GOto --> header --> Billing --> Billing block ) value aginast it is not removed.

However when I run the same program in foreground in se38,the Billing block value is removed.

May some body suggest me what could be the problem ?

THANKS IN ADV.

well, we faced a similar issue. So what we did is debugged the issue in dev system (You can debug any program in background by inserting a infinite loop and then goto SM66 and debug it). Let me know if its helps.

I guess you are using BDC for this, try to use the BAPI, BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE and see.

I am not supposed to do any code change now and however i need to tell why Billing block value is not removed in bgground.

Could you please tell/explain clearly about debugging the background job with steps ?

I never debugg the background job ? itwoudl be a great help to know hwo to debugg the background job ... so That I will debugg and check.

Hi Sam,

Firstly, try looking for "sy-batch" in your Z program to see if there is any seperate logic when the program is executed background.

And to debug bg job without program change

Goto SM37 , choose the job you want to debug, type JDBG in the command line and hit enter.

Arpitha,

Iam facing the problem.

There is no sy-batch in my program ( so no different logic for bgground jobs ).

I am executing the program by executing the tcode of the program, so that selection sreen appears .. there i am executing in backgound like : program --> execute in background. After that if I go and see in sm37 , the job is appearing as 'Finished'.

Still can I debugg by typing JDBG in the command line and hit enter ?

I am not able to trace the problem . How can I tace the exact problem ?

In background the field is not clearing, where as if we run the program in for ground the field is getting cleared.Please help me .

Sam,

Are you using any standard Function modules, might be the behaviour of these FM is different when executed background.Sometimes the "sy-batch" usage in the functon modules will not get reflected in the Control-F of the main program.

Could you please help me how can I put insert a infinite loop and then I debugg in SM66 ? I really did not get you ?

Could you please explain detail.....
