Regarding Application server file path browsing

Hi All,
I have a issue regarding Application Server File Path browsing.
Actually in my selection-screen i will declare a parameter as Application Server File Path now when i press F4 in that field it should be able to browse through Application Server Path's.
Just like F4_FILENAME in the case of Presentation Server File Path Browsing.
Can anybody solve my issue.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Hi Shaik,
Just copy and paste:
Here is the code for retrieving list of files contained within specific Application server directory(SAP).
PARAMETER: p_fdir type pfeflnamel DEFAULT '/usr/sap/tmp'.
data: begin of it_filedir occurs 10.
include structure salfldir.
data: end of it_filedir.
START-OF-SELECTION.
Get Current Directory Listing for OUT Dir
call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'
exporting
name = p_fdir
tables
file_tbl = it_filedir.
List of files are contained within table it_filedir
loop at it_filedir.
write: / it_filedir-NAME.
endloop.
Hope this will help you.
Let me know incase of any concerns.
EDIT:
There are few FM for ur refernce :
RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL
SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST Return table with file list for the given directory (pattern allowed)
F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION Popup to select one file from the given application server directory
TH_SERVER_LIST Returns list of application servers.
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING Lists filenames from the application server .

Regarding Application server file path

Hi All,
please explain the process how to create logical file path in FILE t-code.

Hi,
logical file path
The (platform-independent) logical file path is evaluated at runtime to get the (platform-dependent) physical path (see Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path).
Two examples of this are:
· Logical file path: BW_OLAP_CACHE
Name: BW OLAP Cache
· Logical file path: BW_OLAP_CACHE_SPAN
Name: BW OLAP cache cross-application server
Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path
At runtime, the physical path assigned for the corresponding operating system platform is generated from the logical file path.
Since the physical path is platform-dependent, the customer must set it her/himself. The closer the file is to the application server or, with the cross-application server cache mode, to the application server, the faster it can be found and read.
Log(ical) path: BW_OLAP_CACHE
Name: BW OLAP Cache
Syntax group: UNIX (all Unix platforms)
Phys(ical) path: /usr/ (Syntax group WINDOWS NT)
In a heterogeneous system landscape (such as UNIX and Windows NT servers) all system-specific syntax groups must be maintained. Ensure that the definitions for the various syntax groups point to the same directory.

Validation and F4 help on an application server file path parameter

Hi
I have a field on a selection screen called File Path and it is for a download program where the user needs to specify the path for the download (NOT THE ACTUAL FILENAME).
I am trying to find a function or method that allows a user to use F4 help to browse for a directory rather than a specific file. There are lots of posts out there asking this question but all of the answers point to functions that allow you to browse for a particular file rather than just the file path/directory.
Does anyone know of a function that provides F4 help to browse for a file path on the Server (NOT PC). I would want the user to just be able to select the directory or path and have the path returned. They should not need to pick a specific file.
F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION is a very good function but unfortunately it makes the user pick a file rather than just a directory.
In addition to this, does anyone know of a function or method that allows you to then validate the path\directory that is entered?
Thanks for your help
Nicole

Hi,
You can try with the FM 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'. With this Fm module you will get you the list of files of a particular path in an internal table. Then you can populate this internal table in F4 help.
Hope this solves your problem. If any difficulty, come back to me about that.
Below are some other FM related to application server directory. Hope these Helps.
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_PATH
EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES

Application Server file Validity

Hi Experts,
I have one query. I wanted to check the validity of file in application server. The scenerio is like in my selection screen I will provide application server file name.
I wanted to validate whether that file is existing or not. If file is not existing then I need to display an error message.
Can anybody will suggest me how I can achieve this requirement?
Thanks,
Neha

Hi Neha,
To access the files on Application server we use DATASET operationsd like open, read, close etc.
Now in your case use opendataset as:
open dataset   ds_name for output in text mode encoding default.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
     //write your message here.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET ds_name.
Where ds_name = logical path name of your file, or if you want to check for just one file, hard code the path.
Better practice is to use logical path name.
Also declare ds_name as
DATA: ds_name          LIKE rfpdo-rfbifile.
Close dataset is used in case file exists you need to close it.
Revert back if you wantto know abt logical file name.

Sana.

Disregard my last. I see what you are doing. You are using file transfer to move the file to the local machine. It was confusing because the paths are the same.
I would suggest adding a SYNCHRONIZE after the file transfer and before the attempt to print. It might even be a good idea to add some error handling code to verify that the file has been copied and can be found. This will allow you to better deal with situations where the file doesn't get written for some reason. WebUtil offers some functions to check for file existence and size.
Also, if you are using Java 7U21, this may cause some issues with your CLIENT_HOST call.

Problem in accessing application server file using open dataset

Hi All,
I am trying to access application server file using open dataset command, its working fine for normal path which imention. But when i am giving path of XI server file, its not working. How to access XI server file using open dataset. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
You need to verify if the location where you are trying to save the file is in the same server of SAP. In case that the location is in other server you need to map that directy into the same server of SAP.
You need to point always to a location in the same server of SAP, in order that the open dataset could work.

Error while accessing the application server file

Hello,
When I try to load the data from CSV file to PSA , I am getting following error message
"Error while accessing the application server file"
"Errors in source system"
I gave the right file path
I am not sure about this error message.
Thanks,

Hi ram,
if you have more than one application server running in your BI system (see at transaction SM51) be aware that your infopackage will be executed on the right one. Each application server has its own file system and your job need to run on the server your file is stored on.
Also check if the os user of the SAP system itself (<sid>adm on Unix) has rights to read that file.
Bye

Application server file formats.

Hi,
I have one query regarding the application server file formats, when we are creating a file we give some extension (.txt, .dat),what is the use of different extensions.
When we are downloading the file from appl server using CG3Y we have two options(ASC and BIN ) what is the use of these options.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A text file is a kind of computer file that is structured as a sequence of lines.
A .dat file is a computer file which stores data for use by a computer application or system.
A character encoding consists of a code that pairs a sequence of characters from a given character set (sometimes referred to as code page) with something else, such as a sequence of natural numbers, octets or electrical pulses, in order to facilitate the storage of text in computers and the transmission of text through telecommunication networks.
ASCII and BINARY codes are used for internal representation of data.
The major difference between ASCII and BINARY is that when ASCII mode is used then the READ DATASET stmt starts at new line each time and in case of BINARY it reads character by character ( or some characters).
Thanks and regards.
