Running IW39 output continuously

[Former Member]

Hi ,

One of our customer wants to have a big screen in all workcenters where IW39 output should be continuously refreshed and visible, to monitor open/assigned orders to respective work centers . I have made variants and given to them . They want it to be continuously refreshed and visble . I can run it in background ...But I have no clue how it can be shown in output continuously ..

Pleas help

If you decide to write your own report, or you choose to add a function to the existing IW39, you could incorporate the class CL_GUI_TIMER - which allows you to trigger actions after a set period of time (like refresh the list) automatically. It is a timer that functions in the SAPGUI (for Windows only - if I remember correctly). It has a call back mechanism that carries out the call after the elapse of some period of time.

NP,

Will they be working from these lists, or only for display-only purposes?

Hi Narsimha,

Schedule a back ground Job with the help of the basis Team and let it execute after every "X" minutes.

you can have it displayed in the form of a report on the screen.

have a discussion with the basis Person, they can definitely help you proceed.

Hope it helps

Not sure how the background option would work in practise, like how would the data get to the screen???

I would probably create a new "front-end" program that calls IW39 every X minutes. Remembering to have a method of exiting the loop. You may also need to consider long run time issues... Discuss this with your ABAP and Basis guys.

This way you don't have to mess around changing background job frequencies (which you may not be authorised to do in production)
