• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADUAREPORTS164 - Download to presentation server is not possible in batch mode ?

  The SAP error message HRPADUAREPORTS164 indicates that there is an issue with downloading data to the presentation server while running a report in batch mode. This typically occurs when a report is executed in the background (batch mode) and attempts to download data to the local presentation server, which is not allowed in this mode.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Mode Limitation: The primary cause of this error is that batch processing does not support downloading files directly to the presentation server. The system is designed to prevent this to ensure that background jobs do not interfere with user sessions or local file systems.
  Report Configuration: The report may be configured to output data in a format that requires interaction with the presentation server, which is not possible in batch mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Run in Dialog Mode: If you need to download data to the presentation server, run the report in dialog mode instead of batch mode. This allows for direct interaction with the user interface and the ability to download files.
  Use Alternative Output Methods: If you must run the report in batch mode, consider using alternative output methods such as:
  
  Spool Requests: Configure the report to generate a spool request, which can then be printed or downloaded later.
  Email Output: If applicable, configure the report to send the output via email instead of downloading it to the presentation server.
  File Storage on Application Server: Save the output to a file on the application server instead of the presentation server, and then transfer it manually if needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Check the SAP Help Portal or specific documentation for the report you are running to understand its output options and limitations.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SP01 (for spool requests) and SOST (for email sending) to manage outputs effectively.
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to run reports and access output files, whether in dialog or batch mode.
  
  If the issue persists or if you have specific requirements for your report, consider consulting with your SAP Basis or ABAP team for further assistance.
