job in background

[Former Member]

hi everybody

ive written a program to run in background, which uploads a text file from application server and creates accounting documents

It also deletes the text file after processing

however, when i run the program in background, the text file is not deleted but when i run it in foreground, its deleted

Anybody knows why?

Hi,

Are you using 'DELETE DATASET'?

Check the return code of SY-SUBRC.

Thanks,

Try to debug the job, in sm37, in the list of job, select your job and type in the System Command Box 'JDBG' and hit enter.

TRY TO CHECK EXCEPTION AS FOLLOWS;

DATA myref TYPE REF TO CX_SY_FILE_OPEN.

DATA err_text TYPE string.

TRY.

DELETE DATASET W_file.

CATCH cx_sy_file_open INTO myref.

err_text = myref->get_text( ).

ENDTRY.

write err_text.

OR YOU CAN CHECK CX_SY_FILE_AUTHORITY EXCEPTION

Hi,

When you run in background the program does not run with your name but background user.

So probably there is no authority to delete the file.

Hi Ankur

How do u check if a user has the authority to delete a file?

want to make sure you are deleting file from Applcation server (Unix) and not from Desktop.

If its desktop frontend services will not work. Just a thought.

Also check your file is CLOSED correctly before you Issue DELETE DATASET COMMAND.

After Close Issue some WAIT Command, also can try COMMIT.

Hi

check the right of the BATCH-user:

the user need: s_dataset > ACTVT : 06,33,34

you can see it with a system-tracelog ST01 at authority check of the Batch-user. (but stop the trace after running the job ...)
