Altering program files from SAP Data drive to C drive

Dear Forum,
I am trying to alter the 'program files' in SAP Data drive folder that was created during installation to free up some space. In this case the SAP Data drive is the 'E' drive and the 'program files' folder is altered to 'C' drive.
Here are the steps:
1.     stopped SAP, then all SQL services
2.     regedit to look for registry entries pointing to the E:\ drive:
3.     Copied over from E:\ to C:\ drive all non-duplicate folders contained in E:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DW
4.     renamed the registry entries to reflect their new location.
So, for example in the registry 'My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders' the entry 'E:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DW\' is altered to 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DW\'. All entries are altered one by one.
So far the first trial works. Is it secure to do it in this way. Will it be a problem when the SQL needs to be patched, for example?
Please kindly advice.
Regards,
Agoes

With DATA files it´s VERY different. They are pretty isolated seen from an operating system perspective, you can put them anywhere and just point the database to the right path.
However, everything on "C:" must reside there, especially %SYSTEMROOT% and %PROGRAM FILES%. On Unix system you could copy them somwhere, create a soft link and you were done, on Windows, this is possible because depending on the installed software (SAPGUI, Backup software etc.) you will have LOTS of registry entries pointing to "c:program files", including the COM and ActiveX objects (e. g. a SAPGUI registers > 2000 ActiveX objects in the registry).
Since almost no vendor has documentation about which piece of software is installed where and what is put where in the registry the only way of safely relocating something from C: (if C: is your system drive) is to reinstall the OS and do a homogeneous system copy.

How to store multiple files from SAp in to Application server?

Hi Guys,
             Can anybody tell me how to store multiple files from SAP into Application server.in my application i have to get the data from SAP tables BSEG , BKPF , BSAK and BSIK that to daily i have to do.
            Any Logic or Code for how to do is welcomed.
                    plz help me urgently.
Thanks,
Gopi

Hi,
directories creates basis. If you have task to store data in application server you already should have information into which folder you have to do it. If you don't have this information because it is just for example training for next task then you can use your personal folder into which you have access. To get list of all available folders please look at attached code and form get_directories (you get the list of folders you see in transaction AL11). But don't forget: If you are using open dataset you have to have rights to access application folder!
Here you are code which I use to upload text files from local disc into application folder

Cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log

Hi friends,
My server Intelligence Agent (SIA) can not start because the database service "SQLAnywhereForBI" can't start also. I got the following error :
"I . 08/09 20:35:06. A read failed with error code: (1392), Le fichier ou le répertoire est endommagé et illisible.
E. 08/09 20:35:06. Fatal error: cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log"
E. 08/09 20:35:06. unable to start database "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_CMS.db"
E. 08/09 20:35:06. Error writing to transaction log file
I. 08/09 20:35:06. Database server shutdown due to startup error "
inside the database log file.
Please, can you help me

I found the solution by following the advice given on the following forum:
http://evtechnologies.com/transaction-logs-on-sybase-sql-anywhere-and-sap-businessobjects-bi-4-1
In fact, I crushed the BI4_Audit.db and BI4_Audit.log files and I replaced with others that I got from another machine where I installed BO again and where the files are not corrupted . After I logged in to the CMS database by executing the command in the command line:
dbisql -c "UID = DBA; PWD = mypassword; BI4 Server =; DBF = C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_CMS.db."
Once connected, I start the command:
alter database 'C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_Audit.db' alter log off;
The query runs successfully.
And that's good, I can be connected to BO smoothly.
Thank you again Eric

Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

What are these files you are trying to copy over?
If they are program specific and there is no program on a Mac to read them then you'll have to find either a Mac version of that program or one that does the same thing and can read those files.
The file extension should not change just because you connect a NTFS formatted drive to a Mac computer. A Word Document is still a .doc/.docx ad the same for all other office type programs. Music files with an extension of .MP3, or whatever, should read the same on both system. Same goes for all other files like images with a .JPG extension.
Yes I would network them.
I would not use Migration Assistant. There is nothing on your Windows PC that can be used on the Mac other than your personal data files. No programs or settings can be carried over from Windows to OS X.

Can we send .csv file from sap srm system to sap pi?

Hi Experts,
we have 3 options send the data from sap systems to sap pi.i. e.proxy,idoc and rfc only
How can we send .csv file from sap srm to sap pi?
Regards,
Anjan

Anjan
As you know SAP SRM and SAP PI are different boxes.
*_Option 1:_*
we need a shared AL11 directory in between SAP SRM and SAP PI (Ask basis to setup shared folder). Place / Populate the file in the folder from SAP SRM and then it can be picked through sender file communication channel.
In this case you (Basis team) will share one folder which is visible from the AL11 transaction of both the systems (SRM and PI). You will drop .csv file using some report or program from SRM at this location and from PI you can read that file using File communication channel (NFS mode).
Option 2:
Setup a FTP at SRM environment and expose some folder which can be accessible from PI. Use sender file communication channel at PI end to pick the file.
You can use this option incase sharing of folder is not possible (due to network / other constrains). Here FTP server is required to expose any folder as FTP so as it can be accessible from internet (remote location). You need to expose some folder at SRM machine. You will drop .csv file using some report or program from SRM at this location. Now PI can fetch the file from that location using sender file communication channel (FTP Mode) providing user credentials.
Hope it clears now.

How can I copy all the files from my iMac to an external drive so they remain as 'regular accessible files'? I want to clean my dive

How can I copy all the files from my iMac to an external drive so they remain as 'regular accessible files'? I want to clean my dive

You can use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner. It will clone your HD to the external. The format is the same as your internal drive and you can boot from it using Option key at boot time.

Uploading an XML file from SAP into third party URL

Hi,
I need to Upload an XML file from sap into Third party URL. Can any body tell me the possible ways in SAP to achieve this task. Also explain me the proceedure.
Thanks in advance.
-Namdev

Sorry. If they only said HTTP/HTTPS and didn't say explicitly web service, it means they don't want it.
One thing I'm not sure is, do you have an URL at the third-party system that you need to contact, or should you provide one at your SAP system that they will contact?
If it is the first one, to send an HTTP request to a given URL using ABAP, you'll find an example here: [SAP Library: Example Program: Executing an HTTP Request|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/1f/93163f9959a808e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]

started.
Can you please confirm is there is any particular user settings for this?
I have login in any different working ( SAP Export ) machine with my login ID and Password and try to export the report to excel file from SAP, and I have same issue . Same we have requested another user to login in my machine with their ID and Password and check the same, They have tried and its working for then in my machine.

Thanks.

Execute report>

A pop up box will appear, select which export option you would like to use and click green check.

WSDL file from sap

Hi all
I need sap data as WSDL file for a requirement. What I am thinking is to create a BAPI and export to WSDL. Is it possible to do this? I am in a conception that using WSDL file, the SAP data is always latest. hope this is correct.
Else pls let me know how we have to export sap data as WSDL/XML schema as applicable.
I have to use this WSDL file in Adobe form to create a offline interactive PDF which should always contain the latest data when opened.
I know that ABAP WD is one option but that is not suitable for me because, I have to get this PDF doc uploaded to a collaborative environment(similar to forums) and whenever the user downloads the document , it has to fetch data from SAP.
Please help me proceed further.
Thanks in advance
Karthika

I fail to see how this question is Web Dynpro ABAP related. You even state in your description that Web Dynpro ABAP isn't a suitable option for your requirement. Then why post the question in the Web Dynpro ABAP forum? Please post your questions in the correct forum.

Downloaded file from SAP to excel 2007(*.xlsx, *.xlsm) - unable to open

Hi All,
I am downloading a data from SAP to excel(*.xlsx) format. I am able to conver/download the file in *.xlsx format, but if try to open the downloaded excel file, it gives teh error message 'Excel cannot open the file 'filename.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'. with a OK button. When I press the OK button, no data is displayed.
So kindly let me know how to download the file from SAP to *.xlsx format without any errors.
Note: I am able to download the data in *.xls format without any erros.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Vijay

Hi,
You are probably not being able to open the file of .XLSX format because you do not have Microsoft Office 2007 installed on your system. You might be having a lower version of Microsoft Office. e.g. 2003.
What you can do is, before opening the .XLSX file directly on a system which does not have Microsoft Office 2007, you can convert it into .XLS format and then open the same.
See the below code.
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_COPY

How to transfer file from sap server to PDM server using open FT??

Hello Sap Guru's
I want to Trasfer a file with all supplier information from SAP server to PDM server(Thirdparty) system Using Open FT ..How can I transfer ???
Please let me know the answer??
Thanks In Advance
Preethi

Hi Preethi,
I think it is not possible to transfer a file from SAP to PDM using open FT.
Using RFCs, we can do the transfer.
Other option is the file can be downloaded into UNIX. And from there using a shellscript we can transfer the file from UNIX to PDM or if your PDM has the option to grab the file from UNIX that will also work.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if helpful.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Print Jpeg files from SAP

Hi,
We have JPEG files (pictures) stored in Custom Z table (Cluster table). We would like to know how to print these files from SAP on to a certain printer.
We know that it is not possible to convert JPEG to BMP within SAP and print using SAPScript OR SmartForms.
We want to find out if there is any print command to print these files to SAP printer ?
Any help is appreciated.
Niranjan

Hi Gregory,
I had checked this tcode earlier. However, I don't see any 'Print' jpeg or any other file functionality here. What SAP might be doing here is, allow upload of any document like excel, word or pic files (jpeg, gihf, bmp) and so on and just display.
I am interested in printing functionality without usng SAP Script OR Smartforms, because, when we get into it, we have to talk only TIF or BMP as JPGs are not supported.
