Starting new foreground sessions from ABAP program.

Posted on Dec 14, 2006 at 07:53 PM 85 Views

I am trying to start multiple foreground sessions from a 'driver' module asynchronously.

I have tried various forms of the call transaction, submit report and wrapping the code in a function module that I have called asynchronously. The function module will start an independent session, but as a background task instead of foreground one.

Anyone have any ideas or tried this before?

Thanks.

    Yes, you can do it like this.

    

report zrich_0001.

data: session_name type string.


do 3 times.

  session_name = sy-index.


  call function 'ABAP4_CALL_TRANSACTION'
      starting new task session_name
          destination 'NONE'
               exporting
                 tcode                         = 'SM50'
               exceptions
                 call_transaction_denied       = 1
                 tcode_invalid                 = 2
                 others                        = 3.

enddo.

      Hi Rich,

      Sorry about the lag in my response. The place I work shuts down over XMAS and I took some extra vacation.

      I tried the function module you suggested. It works with the Dialog transactions I tried it with. I had tried doing something similar with a function module I wrote, ie using a call transaction in the function module, as well as using a submit report and recording the execution of the report in a BDC and wrapping it a function module and calling it asynchronously. None of them work, although the asynchronous call opens a new session. All I can figure is reports, ABAP or Painter, work different than the Dialog?

      Any other ideas.

      Thanks, Russ.
