Application server directory and file browser

Is there existing in SAP a program that can display directories and files that enable me to delete, move, upload, overwrite etc files on a unix server? So it will have similar functionality as e.g. MS Windows Explorer, but an ABAP program. If you have for instance a custom created version, I'd appreciate if you'd share. Thank you and best regards, Adrian

Hi you can make use of fm's
F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION - display directories and files
ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER - move files, copy files etc.
EPS_DELETE_FILE - delete file
EPS_OPEN_INPUT_FILE - open file for input
EPS_OPEN_OUTPUT_FILE - open file for output
If you give the same name of a file which is already residing in the server then it gets overwritten.
Hope you can build a program using this fm's.

Read application server directory and file

Hi,
I'm using the FM "RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL" to retrieve the application server directory and filename. The returned result contain all the directory name and filename. Is there any other FM can separate the result into directory and file??
Regards,
Kit

hi
Ya One more FM is there - Call Function Gui Upload.
It will read the file from the app server.
See this Example:-

Application Server Directory file attributes lists

Hi,
I'm searching for Funtion Module or Method to get Application Server Directory file lists with all attributes.
1) FM 'SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST' is not getting midifued date and time.
2) Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES-DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES is getting local directory files.
I'm looking for standard way to get all attributes whatever we are seeing in AL11 transaction like Name, Length, Creator and last changed date and time stamp-
...Nandha

Hi
The fm SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST is right but you need to convert the date and time by your self, u can use this routine:
PERFORM P6_TO_DATE_TIME_TZ(RSTR0400) USING FILE_LIST-MTIME
FILE_LIST-MOD_TIME
FILE_LIST-MOD_DATE.

Download all files from a specific application server directory to Local pc

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of downloading all the files from an application server directory to a local pc.
I know how to download a single file from an application server at a time provided the file name is known.
But my requirement is to download all the files in that particulary directory, because I dont know how many files were created in that directory and what are their names.
Please kindly provide the solution.
Thanks,
Kalikonda.

Nelson,
Here is the function module that I have used to get all the application server files.
appl_dir_name is the path of the directory i.e. '/outbound/PD1/Applnserverfiles/'
it_appl_srv_fls is the internal table where all the files gets stored in.
CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'

 dir_name = appl_dir_name
FILE_MASK = ' '

How to know the first placed file in Application server directory

Hi All ,
i want to Know the First plased file in a application server directory . i have tried with
FM EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES but it is giving the file size. Can anybody give some idea to get the file lastmodify property.
Thanks & Regards
Prithvi.

Hi Prithvi!
Use the methods of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES (if your release is at least 620, sorry otherwise).
Method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES will give you all files of a directory, then you can check with method FILE_GET_ATTRIBUTES for some date info.
But maybe you can agree about a timestamp in the filename - this has to be set by the sender, but is much easier and reliable, too.

File exist in application server directory

Hi there,
On my SAP server, i have a directory created specifically to store input files generated from other external systems.
From my ABAP program, i need to check if any file exist on that application server directory. If yes, then i will proceed to read the input file and process it.
If it's empty, then output message that file is not available.
Are there any FM to do this?

you can use this code to do this...

2. If the another file get's generated in the application server with same file name then the data in old file get's over written with the new data. You are not required to delete the file.

Transfer file in application server to another file

Hello guys I have another major hurdle I am encountering for a little task I am doing.
I need to send a downloaded file within the SAP application server to another file automatically using ABAP via Background Processing(most preferable a directory in the newtwork).
What I need to do is, after saving a list from an abap report and saves in the application server (which I have already done), I need it to transport to a the web server. All done in background.
I really appreciate the help you guys have given to me thus far. Thank you guys and take care.

Hi
U have to use unix command for same
i have seen some function module just check it out
SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM you can check the user's authorization for the specified command and run the command. The command runs on the host system on which the function module is executed. The function module is RFC capable. It can therefore be run on the host system at which a user happens to be active or on another designated host system at which an R/3 server is active.
SXPG_COMMAND_CHECK Check whether the user is authorized to execute the specified command on the target host system with the specified arguments.
SXPG_COMMAND_DEFINITION_GET Read the definition of a single external OS command from the R/3 System's database.

SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE Check a user's authorization to use a command, as in SXPG_COMMAND_CHECK. If the authorization check is successful, then execute the command on the target host system.
SXPG_COMMAND_LIST_GET Select a list of external OS command definitions.
RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL Read a directory on the Application Server
SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST Return table with file list for the given directory (pattern allowed)

How can I get Directory and Files from a Maped Networkdrive of the AppS

Hello,
we have the following Situation.
We have a Windows-Server (Server-A) in an Network with ActivDirectory and an Windows-Server (Server-B with an WebApplicationServer outside of these ActivDirectory as standalone.
On Server-B we mapped a Directory from Server-A (FileExplorer and then MapNetworkDrives) as Drive Q.
Now i tried to get the Directory of Q:\abcd but it doesn't work.
I tried the FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING and also RZL_READ_DIR, but both doesn't worked.
RZL_READ_DIR is doing a "CALL 'ALERTS' ..." and is comming back with sy-subrc = 1
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING is doing a "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_FINISH'..." and comes back with "Wrong order of calls" in the Field file-errmsg. Next Call is "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_START'..." and this comes back with "opendir" in Field file-errmsg.
I tried the same with two Servers in the same ActivDirectory-Network. The Result was the same, i don't get the directory of the mapped drive. But now i get from the Call "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_START'..." the file-errmsg "opendir: Not a directory" and file-errno 20.
Is there any idea for solving my Problem?
I have to get this directory, read the files from the List and have to rename them after wriing the data to our databasefile.
I want to read them with OPEN DATASET, rename them by writing a new File (also OPEN DATASET) and after that i do an DELETE DATASET.
Thanks and Greetings Matthias

Starting/Stopping Application Server Forms and Reports

Hello,
Are there any scripts (like dbstart and dbshut for Oracle DB) for starting and stopping "Application Server Forms and Reports". If not, any special suggestions?
I must automatically start this application on Unix. I know that during starting some steps must be performedy by the root user (export DISPLAY env variable and issue the "xhost +" command) and later the oracle user must do some things( export ORACLE_HOME and DISPLAY and issue the "opmnctl startall" command). Does anybody have scripts like that?
Regards,
Tim

If you're on 10.1.2, there is a script (requires an X Windows session). It's called runstartupconsole.sh, but you've got to update the install type to Portal in the ias.properties file if I remember right. It looks cool, but a shell script works better.
Here is a shell script that does some of those things. You still need to run xhost+ after running a display if you're using something that requires a DISPLAY to start. Someone may have a better one, but this one works.
We actually use one that starts all the different components individually except for Reports in rc scripts. That is the only thing we have that needs a Display set to start. So then xhost + is run & at the same time, the Unix sysadmin runs a script that start Reports from opmn.
I hope this is useful.
Cordially,
Steve

You can go to Patches & update>Quick Links to: Latest Patchsets, Mini Packs and Maintenance Packs>Oracle Fussion Middle Ware> Look for you OS versión and CPU> No clic just put pointer over the links and you will see the last one.
And finaly could look for the CPU of Jul and Apr that as requirement they ask for version 10.1.2.3 (as I say I checked yesterday)

Oracle application server 10g and fusion middleware 11

Hi
I am confused about architecture of application server 10g and oracle fusion middleware.
I have installed oracle application server 10g that includes infrastructure tier ( database repository,SSO,OID,DAS,OCA) and mid tier (OC4j,forms,reports,discover,portal,wireless). Here I have totally understood the architecture of 10g application server and Installation method and sequence.
But I could not understand oracle fusion middle ware architecture and components compared to 10g application server.
Now I want to install the oracle fusion middle ware same as 10g application server keep in mind.
can anybody give me high level view of oracle fusion middle ware and it's component? and also difference between 10g app server and fusion.
how can I achieve same thing that i implemented in 10g app server with fusion?
If somebody have architecture diagram of both 10g app server and fusion that will also help me.
Thanks,
Vishal

Take a look at Page 2-1 of the
