Dale,
 
call the program with "submit xxx messages into messtab_test1". then us=
e
something like this to dump the messages into the workflow container. I=
t's
crude, but does the job for testing..
 
 loop at messtab_test1.
   concatenate messtab_test1-MSGTYP
               messtab_test1-MSGSPRA
               messtab_test1-MSGID
               messtab_test1-MSGNR
               messtab_test1-MSGV1
               into collector separated by space.
   move sy-tabix to number.
   concatenate 'MESSAGE' number into name.
   swc_set_element container name collector.
 endloop.
 
Hth,
Stephan

Betreff: Starting a background job with a background method
 
 
Has anyone ever used a background method to submit a background job and=
 
used  the status of that job to allow the workflow to continue?If yes,
please advise on how you managed error handling.
I have been asked to evaluate doing this to address a performance probl=
em
with one of our mass processing background methods which today uses a
submit program. This program times out before the task is completed in =
one
of our emerging geographies even though it works successfully  in other=
 
geographies. Basis has not been able to resolve the performance problem=
.
