You execute reports in the background using selection variants.

For a report, the variable entries and the settings for rebuilding summarization data, creating frozen report data and printing can be saved in ABAP variants.

The option to rebuild summarization data is only displayed if summarization data has been activated in the definition of the report.

For printing, the setting in the "Read mode" field determines how current the printed data is.

If you choose "Reselect", data is printed according to the settings made in the "Performance" dialog box in the report definition. If you did not activate the option "Current data" in the report definition, the system prints the most recently summarized data.

If you select "Frozen data", the system prints the frozen report data, if any exists. Otherwise, a message is issued.

Activities

Define the variants you would like to use in your reports.

Once you have made your entries, choose "Goto -> Variants -> Save as variant..." (see also the online documentation "BC Computing Center Management System"). You can then schedule this variant in the background. If you need to schedule more than one report for background processing using variants, you can group these variants together in a so-called "variant group" (see the following Customizing activities).
