ABAP query processing in bgrnd and saving file to prsntn/application server

Hello Gurus
I have question regarding to ABAP query execution. Currently I try to find out if ABAP query can be executed in background and store the result into UNIX directory or in the presentation server(desktop). What I found is that the report need to be executed using option Private File and the data by default will be stored at directory /sap/outbound/.
However what I found next is that the maximum fields should be 64 fields. If the query result has more than 64 fields, the error will occurs WRITE_TO_OFFSET_TOOLARGE.
My question is:
1. Can we set the directory in unix folder to someplace else than /sap/outbound/ ?
2. Can we set in order to have the report stored without limitation 64 fields?
Thanks in advance

HI
Yes you can set the directory in unix folder to someplace as you need to get confirmation for the path from your Functional Analyst.
Thanks

How to split path and filename (file is on application server)

Searching this forum I found a couple of FM's that apparently only worked for PC files. Is there a parser function for files w/ the Unix naming convention?

You could parse it yourself...
DATA: filepath TYPE char255 VALUE '/usr/<sys_id>/sap/tmp/filename.txt'.
DATA: path TYPE char255.
DATA: file TYPE char255.
DEFINE macro_reverse_string.
call function 'STRING_REVERSE'
 exporting
 string = &1
 lang = sy-langu
 importing
 rstring = &1.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
macro_reverse_string filepath.
SPLIT filepath AT '/' INTO file path.
macro_reverse_string filepath.
macro_reverse_string file.
shift path right by 1 places. path(1) = '/'.
macro_reverse_string path.
WRITE:/ filepath.
WRITE:/ path.
WRITE:/ file.

Urgent :- Unable to deploy EAR file in Oracle application server

Hello folks,
I am trying to deploy an application containing jsps and servlets
packaged into EAR using ant. However when am trying to do so by using
the Deploy EAR option in the Enterprise manager, it throws the
following error -
"Invalid J2EE application file specified - Jar file:
/var/tmp/jar47241.tmp is missing its standard xml descriptor located at
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml"
I suspect that something could be wrong with regards to the way the ear
file has been created.
Please if someone could pin point the problem and help me understand
the the above error message , it will be of great help to me and I d
really appreciate this.
Many Thanks,
Ramn.

Hello,
I try to deploy an ear file (contains jar and war files) in Oracle Application server in linux, but the time is so long. The same file I deploy in a OAS in windows and the deploy time was 2 minutes, but in linux I leave the hole night and the session close and the deploy in unable.
I don't know if I need configure an especial option in the OAS in Linux, how I can load my ear file.
The OAS in windows was installed with oc4j options only, but the OAS in linux was full installation
Please help me....

Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7

Hi, I ‘am a Graphic Designer and first time working in UAE Windows 7 is basically the only OS here. My PC is:
HP Elite 7000
Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 2.67GHz
4GB RAM
32-bit
Now to the problem, not that knowledgeable in IT stuff so here goes:
1. Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7. (You will actually see a “Not Responding” word coming out while opening and saving files, whether small or large files)
2. Locked layers occasionally are moved accidentally.(Working on multiple layers is normal so we need to lock it specially the once on top. But there are times I still manage to select locked layers)
3. After typing and locking the text, pressing “V” for the arrow key shortcut is still added to the text that is locked. (After typing I lock the text layer with my mouse and Press “V” to activate the arrow key… yes the arrow key is activated but the text is still typing the actual keyboard pressed)
I’ve only use the brand new PC and installer for a month now. Not sure if this is compatibility issues or something else I’m not aware of.
Thanks in advance to people that will reply.
Cheers!!!

Well I’m still wondering if it is compatibility issues because I’m also having problem with Photoshop CS5. These 3 are all bought at the same time (PC, Illustrator and Photoshop installers). The problem I’m having in Photoshop is not that too important, every time I Ctrl+O to view files, all PSD are shown in white paper like icons, no preview, and saving as well.
Or I just purchased a corrupted or pirated installers… Adobe updates are done every time I’m prompted.

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.

Dirk

Saving files on OS X server blows up my presentation.

I'm using Keynote 6.5.2 on a Mac using Mac OS X 10.9.5 and saving files to Mac OS X Server 10.6.8
I'm getting this...
And end up having to rebuild my presentation because opening the main .key file loses all the images and formatting. Any idea what's happening and how I can avoid?

Nothing fancy like svn. And we don't use Numbers or Pages, so although I don't have any examples of it happening, that doesn't mean it couldn't. I know those folders must have something to do with iWork's own versioning which is a feature that came out after OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server. People are used to opening and working off the server (rather than copying a file to the desktop, working on it and putting it back).

CPS Simple File Deployer corrupts XLSX and DOCX files when copying to server. Solutions?

When Contribute Publishing Service Simple File Deployment copies XLSX and DOCX files from our staging server to the live production web server, it is corrupting them. The resulting file on the live web server is a few bytes different in size. I published a 9015-byte docx file to our staging server using Dreamweaver (or Contribute). The resulting file on the staging server opens correctly and remains 9015 bytes. Then, using CPS Simple File Deployer, I deployed the file from our staging server to our live web server. The resulting file on the live web server is 9017 bytes, and it won't open. Something similar happens with XLSX files. It works fine with XLS, DOC, Html etc. Well, there is an issue with dependent files unless I synchronize with Dreamweaver, but that's another story.
Once File Deployer has corrupted the files, opening them brings a message, such as "Excel has found unreadable content in filename.xlsx. . . ". With Word, it says "The Office Open XML file filename.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents . . . The file is corrupt and cannot be opened." Sometimes the docx files can be recovered, but that doesn't help.
When I take the same original docx file and put it on the web server with an FTP program, it remains 9015 bytes and opens successfully on the live web server.
For several reasons, such as many users updating the website with Adobe Contribute and not let them use FTP directly to the live server, we need to keep the staging server and use File Deployer (or something) to deploy the changed files from the staging server to the live website.
I read somewhere that the programming code the uploads files can have problems and fail to work properly with Office 2007 files. I don't have access to CPS's core.ctc and deployfile.cfc files, and I don't have Cold Fusion.
Any suggestions?
Dean

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

Hi,
Yes thats correct. When using AT NEW. The field in internal table after the WERKS field will have ASTERSIK .
So before AT NEW. Assign the work area to another work area. Eg.
WA_mchb1 = wa_mchb.
Later on i.e. After ENDAT use everywhere WA_MCHB1 and not not WA_MCHB.
This will solve the problem.
wa_sum-charg = wa_resb-charg.
wa_sum-bdmng = wa_resb-bdmng.
COLLECT wa_sum INTO i_sum.

Save PDF-file on the application server

Hello experts,
I convert my Smartform to a PDF-File. I copied the code from Suresh Kumar Parvathaneni (REPORT zsuresh_test). At first, thank you Suresh Kumar for that!
Now, I would like to save the PDF-File on the application server and not local.
Could you tell me how to do this. Especially, where do I have to put the abap-code in the given code from Suresh Kumar.
I thank you very much for your help in advance.
With kind regards.
gokselin

Hi,
You can use the OPEN DATASET statment.
Probably you must be having an output table which you are downloading to the local machine.You can use the same and loop at it. and if the OPEN dataset returned sy-subrc 0, use the TRANSFER statment.
Remember the data will be binary for pdf. So you have to open the dataset in binary mode.

Advait
