Hi,
Is it possible to execute a report in background if we assign two variants for a single job?

Hi
That means u need to run the report twice?
U can create a single job having two steps and in every step u can run the report using a variant.

I guess no.. one element on the selection screen can take only one set of values.. if you want to take two variants u might have to combine two variants in to one and use that..

Yes thats possible with the step definition. As max suggested you can create multiple steps within the same job specifying different variant each time.

Can you please give the steps. Suppose for job 'TEST1' i need to assign TEST1001 and TEST1003 variants as job steps for TEST1 job.

SM35 > hit the Job wizard (button on the top)... in the first step give the program name and variant1 and check the add new step check box and provide same program name and Variant2 and save

Hi,
Just as you define a background job in sm36 where you mention the variant in the step definition, again click step and assign the second variant. This will be defined as a second step. when you start the job, both these steps will be executed.

Hi,
I successfully created two variants in single job and after executing my job has been failed giving a message "DATASET_NOT_OPEN" and type of Message is 'A'.
In my program i have used datasets to download the report data into application server.
Can you please suggest to me how to solve this problem.
