How to configure BACKGROUND execution

[Former Member]

How and where do I configure the execution of function calls like: CALL FUNCTION IN BACKGROUND TASK

Thanks a lot

What I am trying to do is to execute

in function group "IWWO" the RFC: IWWO_SERVORDER_CONFIRM

on an IDES System.

When debugging this RFC with correct input parameters (for a time confirmation) everything works out fine except that no time confirmation is added to the system.

Therefore I asked how to debug or check the execution of BACKGROUND function calls.

I'm not sure what you're asking? There is no configuration to be done for transactional RFC within the same SAP system.

CALL FUNCTION 'abc' IN BACKGROUND TASK ...

CALL FUNCTION 'xyz' IN BACKGROUND TASK ...

COMMIT WORK.

There are various service functions you can call to learn the status of the background processing, such as ID_OF_BACKGROUNDTASK and STATUS_OF_BACKGROUNDTASK. These can be found in function group ARFC.

There is configuration available on an RFC destination for asynchronous RFC (CALL FUNCTION ... STARTING NEW TASK), such as how often to retry if there are connection failures. But this doesn't seem to be your question.
