ABAP report /VIRSA/ZVFATBAK run very long on backend

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

For ABAP report /VIRSA/ZVFATBAK which runs in the backend system, normally how long would it take to finish? Because now the duration for the report is already 2k++ seconds and its still running in our test system, while the report scheduled in our development system only uses 1 or 2 secs to finish.

Any idea why is it taking that long in a test system?

Appreciate the replies, thank you in advance.

Hi,

You have to be careful FF logs. It can take long time as it totally depends on the amount of data. If someone has logged using FF and has made significant changes then it can take forever. I was at a customer where someone used FF and ran a batch job to upload quarterly update of vendor information. After that, the FF job was running for almost 4 days and then we had to kill it.

Thanks for your reply Alpesh.

Its wierd though, the report job which is scheduled to run hourly only takes 1-3 seconds, while the ad-hog reports (same job it seems) take 6k seconds ... is this normal?

That is really weird. I have not heard about this one. Can you check with SAP and let us know about the outcome?
