Background Processing
Execution of ABAP programs with predetermined settings in the background, that is, with no on-screen user dialog. In contrast to dialog processing , the execution flow is fixed when the program is started. An executable program is scheduled in the ABAP Editor or after calling System - Services - Reporting using menu Program - Execute - Background for automatic execution or is called in the background using SUBMIT VIA JOB . For background processing, at least one background work process must be set up.
