Running a webdynpro application in background

[Former Member]

Is it possible to run a webdynpro ABAP application in background? If yes then how?

No. WDA can not be ran in the background. For background jobs you should continue to use classic dynpro and normal ABAP classes.

I don't think so. Not sure why you would need it - WDA is centered around interfacing with users. If you need to trigger background functionality, you could consider calling a program or function in background mode, or via RFC.

Basically my application is getting timed out. Hence, I wanted to run it in a job or in the background.

I have a few questions:

1. Can I put the functionality in a function module & call it in background?

2. Can I pass the input values on the WD screen as parameters to the FM?

3. Will this help me resolve the timeout issue?

4. As of now I am running the WD application from customer view. After moving the code to a new FM will the way in which I am using the WD application change?

Hi,

You can create a classical report and make the webdynpro fields as selection fields using parameters and select options.

Use a FM or subroutine to define the logic.

Then you can execute the report in background.

This will resolve your issue.
