BACKGROUND command line keyword

BACKGROUND specifies whether a report on the server should be run synchronously (NO) or asynchronously (YES). 

Note: The BACKGROUND system parameter is deprecated in Oracle Reports 10g. BACKGROUND is used only on the command line.

The executables that can use this keyword are:

rwbuilder no
rwrun no
rwclient yes
rwcgi yes
rwserver no
rwservlet yes
rwconverter no

Syntax

BACKGROUND={YES|NO}

Values

Definition

YES

Runs the report asynchronously. The client sends the call to the server, then continues with other processes without waiting for the report job to complete. If the client process is killed, the job is canceled.

NO

(Default)

Runs the report synchronously. The client waits for the report to queue, be assigned to a runtime engine, run, and finish.
