Extraction Settings

This page contains an overview of the extraction settings in the Report extraction type.
To open the extraction settings, click Extraction Settings in the main window of the extraction type.

Batch Processing

Use Background Mode

If you choose this option, the ABAP report is executed as a batch job in SAP. A spool is generated in SAP (transaction SP01) which is later fetched by the Report extraction type. Use this option for long running reports in SAP that would run into an RFC timeout when called in dialog mode. Some reports that throw an error message when running in dialog mode can be extracted when run in background mode.

Background Job Timeout

Enter a time period (in seconds). The Report extraction type polls the status of the batch job in SAP for the specified time period. If the SAP batch job is not finished by the specified time period, the extraction aborts.

Background Job Name

The name of the background job under which the report is run in SAP.

Spool Destination

Enter the name of the spool destination (printer).

Function Module

The Report component requires installation of the custom function module Z_XTRACT_IS_REMOTE_REPORT in your SAP system, see Install Report Custom Function Module. If you manually created the function module in your SAP system and gave it a different name, enter that name in this field. The default is Z_XTRACT_IS_REMOTE_REPORT.
