Hi ALL,

Hi,

What function/method call is your program using to download the file? Make absolutely certain that the file is indeed being downloaded on the application server and not on the workstation. Background jobs have no frontend connection, so any attempt to download a file to the frontend from a batch program will obviously fail.

Hi ALL,

the issue got resolved. The program was trying to trigger the output on the desktop of the user and hence getting failed. we just commented that line and it automatically started to flow in the app server.

Thanks all for your help.

Hi ALL,

thanks for your responses.

The OS being used is windows server 2003 and i have provided all the required authorizations to access the folder but am still not able to have the job completed successfully. Additionally have also asked th abaper to check the code.

Is ther anything else that can be checked in the mean time.

If this is your own code i'll suggest you to contact your abaper, not all programs that run in dialog can run as a background job most likely the code needs to be reviewed.
