How System Command can replace a file in Application Server

Hi Guys,
A new system Command is created. When that system command is executed, the client wants to take a file from one directory in application server and put that file into another directory on the application server itself. How this can be achieved?
What I know is we can create a function module and place that function module in the system command. But in that function module, I have to change the fielname and put that into another directory. I don't know how to do it.
Note: I shouldn't read the data from the file using Open Dataset statements..
Please let me the solution if any one has encountered such a scenario.
Regards.
Hari.

I think you are mixing up things here.
The program "sapiconv" is for converting files into different codepages, it´s not for copying/moving files to other directories.
If you want to use the ZSAPICONV to you need to modify it, take out the "sapiconv" and put in the "mv" (move) command to move the file to the other directory.
I suggest though creating a NEW command. e.g ZMV and give the appropriate parameters.

Where can I find DBMS system commands

Hi:
Where can I find the references about DBMS system commands like dbms_stats.get_table_stats? Thank you very much.

Hi:
Where can I find the references about DBMS system commands like dbms_stats.get_table_stats? Thank you very much.
Maggie See the Oracle 9i Performance Guide and Reference, chapter 3 Optimizer, subsection GENERATING STATISTICS.
Also, I think the argument is "gather_table_stats" as opposed to "get_table_stats".

Thanks
Deepa Datar

This is the code which I tried, but it displays only the title of MS-DOS, something like " Microsoft Corp...etc ". But doesn't take any input, and the subprocess(cmd.exe) hangs.
import java.io.*;
public class cmddemo2
public static void main(String arg[])
try
System.out.println("cmd");
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe");
DataInputStream din=new DataInputStream(p.getInputStream());
DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("after streams");
String s;
dout.writeChars("type cmddemo2.java");
while((s=din.readLine())!="\n")
System.out.println(s);
dout.writeChars("dir");
String s1;
while((s1=din.readLine())!="\n")
System.out.println(s1);
System.out.println("over");
catch(Exception e)
{ System.out.println("Exception : "+e);

Operating System commands in FTP adapter

Hi
I have a requirement to use "Operating System Command" option in the Sender/Receiver side File Adapter.
And in help.sap.com they have brief notes on this.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
When I tried to execute some valid DOS commands like MKDIR,RENAME etc it didn't work at all.
But process has been sucessfully completed without any error!!!
System : XI 3.0 SP 11
Can anyone has any inputs on this ? Pls share me some ideas with example. Is there is any limitations on this feature?
Note: When I tried to give invalid commands hfjkhfkasdjfh,asdjdhas etc, still it is not giving any error!!. Still my File Adapter as well as entire process is successfully completed.

Hi,
A couple of cautionary notes.
The OS command is executed after the file has been processed, e.g. read successfully by a sender adapter or created successfully by a receiver adapter.
The file name processed can be accessed using %f in the OS command.
The OS command must include the full directory path, or XI will assume the current directory which may not be where your command resides.

Bill

Operating System Command

Hi,
I want to pass UNIX operating system command for outbound FILE adapter. Is it possible to pass two parameters along with the command?
If yes, could you please send sample syntax?
Thanks & Regards
Katta Mohan Reddy

Hi,
but why do you want to do it in this way when SAP
gives a standard way of renaming files?
Variable Substitution
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
it's available for sp12 but maybe it's worth to wait 1 day until your basis people install sp12 and start testing the new solution ?
I won't see the sp12 till tuesday so I cannot say if it works but it looks (from the documentation) great
BTW
can you turn on the monitoring of the folder the file adapter tries to use and check if any command is being executed at all?

I am trying OS command in Reciever File Adapter but the command is not executing.In my scenario i am creating a file by reciever adapter and then this OS command will delete,rename..etc to this file.For this i had created a Batch file in which i had given OS commands, so once this batch file will execute the command should work.File is getting created but OS command is not executing.I am giving the command in the adapter as follows:
//Server-name/directory/Test.bat
i had tried giving command like this also
D:\directory\Test.bat
but there is no result.i read somewhere that this function works on SP9 or above.We are also working on SP9 but.....
Do i have to make some settings for this function.

Hi,
In help.sap.com (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm), it is given as

Error Message: "Skype can not start because the system is not available"

Try to reset all Skype settings. Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old. Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder. Restart Skype. N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Okay!
I'm newbie here, but it doesn't matter. I dont want to do here anything else, just write off my opinion about the Microsoft's "new" Skype, and I hope they will read...
This is a cropped image - of course hungarian, because I'm hungarian, but I think many of us could see this as well. How this is possible? "The Skype can not start because the system is not available" *** What kind of system? The Skype was on a P2P system, where is impossible that the system is not available! This is why the skype was much better than the Microsoft's messenger. Then they bought it, and make it wrong...
I found a solution for this problem, this can happen if my client is not updated. But IT IS!
How does it works? Can we use the **bleep** Skype how we would like to use? Or this time we need to find an other application (like Viber), and using that while they not buying that as well, just because that is better?

System commands - disk access

To emulate the "clrscr" command (from C), I am determining the name of the OS and then passing the appropriate command to the Runtime object:
if ((menu.osName.lastIndexOf("sun") != -1) || (menu.osName.lastIndexOf("inux") != -1))
System.out.println("This is an unix terminal");
menu.clearCommand = "/usr/bin/clear";
else if (menu.osName.lastIndexOf("indow") != -1)
System.out.println("This is a Windows MS-DOS terminal");
menu.clearCommand = "C:\\Windows\\Command\\cls";
else if (menu.osName.lastIndexOf("dos") != -1)
System.out.println("This is a MS-DOS terminal");
menu.clearCommand = "C:\\DOS\\cls";
try
menu.cls = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(menu.clearCommand);
menu.cls.waitFor();
menu.clsOut = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(menu.cls.getInputStream()));
while (menu.clsOut.ready())
System.out.println(menu.clsOut.readLine());
menu.clsOut.close();
catch (Exception e)
-However, I also want to make sure that the system command is not an alias for a malicious script, in terms of invoking any sort of IO (delete/create files, etc.). Is it possible to have some sort of wrapper mechanism around the execution of the system command to detect and catch any attempt to perform IO? So far, my application works as the code speaks out, but I am worried that the system command may not be what I expect.
Thanks.

What about making the information you need to clear the screen a part of the installation?
You do
clear >myclear.out
cls >myclear.out
or whatever and use the contents of the "clear screen" file from your Java program.
Caveat however: under Unix you can have different types of terminal with different clear-screen sequences.
Sometimes I ponder to make a request for a curses-like java package to give an API for such (more advanced, but still CUI-related) things. Or maybe there is such without my knowing it?

Unzip file using operating system command in file/ftp receiver adapter

Hi,
I'm wonderdering how to unzip a zip-file in the receiver file/ftp adapter. I know it is possible to do it using the 'Operating system command' feature, but somehow the command I use seems to be ignored! (I'm using SP14, unix).
The command I entered is quite simple: unzip %F (also tried the %f, but i guess it doesn't really matter wich on I use).
Is it possible that I'm unzipping to another directory than the one i expect? the unzip should be performed to/in the current directory, and assumingly current directory is the one stated in the 'Target Directory', right?
Hope someone can clearify this issue for me.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
It seems to me also, that the files are being unzipped to a different location than what you are expecting. The OS command might getting executed in some default location(i am trying to fnd that out)on the server and not in the target directory of the channel(It seems logical to me)....
If you have time...pls try this out & see whether this would help...
Have a shell script written with the following commands in them
cd <path to target directory>
unzip $1(filename from the channel)
and in the OS command in the Channel give....
<absolute path to the .sh file> %F
Thanks,
Renjith.

Operating System Command After File Processing in Sender File Adapter

Hello guys,
actually we have different interfaces, and the client to take all the files from only one directory, for example D:/DPI.
Unitl now we had one adapter for every file with the content conversion, so we didn't have problems with that. Now we have the problem that we sould maintain an order processing files.
We thougth that an idea could be to execute one file pointing to D:/DPI and at the Operating System Command put like: copy D:/DPI/file.txt D:/DPI/outbound/file.txt, so when file is executed, we move the next file to another directory where is pointing the adapter. Doing this we have an error on the adapter giving us the message: Could not process due to error: java.lang.NullPointerException
We are using a Windows.
There is anyway to do in our way, or there is a better solution to resolve this problem?
Any other idea to do this?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Helo Guys,
maybe I haven't explained well.
We have one directory with different files. We have one adapter for every file( we need for the content conversion ) using NFS and all the adapters are pointing to the same directory.
The problem is that if we have files A.txt, B.txt and C.txt we need to process in an order.
And the problem we see is that for every file we have one adapter, so for example if we process file A.txt with one adapter, when this part is finished, we want to process file B.txt with another adapter, and the same for the rest of the files.
So the idea we had is to create another directories, and when A.txt has finished move file B.txt to another directory.
However this way is not running, if we log on the PI machine and execute cmd, we can do a copy of one file from one directory to another, but when we put this sentence in the adapter in OS command if we see the adapter log we see an error executing the OS command, but we don't know what is the error, there is no more information.
There is any way to do this or maybe we have to manage in a different way?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Run operating system command for sender File adpter (NFS)

Hi All,
iam doing a file to RFC scenario, using 'Run operating system command' in sender file adapter to change the file name while archiving (after processing completed).
I mention OS command like this:
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
Rename.bat file calls a 'perl script' code.
when i run interface, could see below statement in adapter log ->
"Execute OS command "
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
but the script was not run and file name was not changed.
Please advice what could be the problem?
Does this mean script executed successfully?
Do i need install perl software on XI server, even perl script (.bat file) is executing on sample_server?
Thanks in advance..

Rajesh

RUN OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND BEFORE MESSAGE PROCESSING

hi.
just i want to know what is the purpose of run operating system command before message processing,after message processing under file sender adapter.
waiting for your great answer.
bye.
regards.
seeta ram.

Hello Seeta,
let me see if I give it using a simple scenario that I implamented : i nedd to transfer a very large file from one server to the other by XI.
to save space and network traffic I use an OS command before picking up the file to run a zip command to zip the file.
after I transfer the file to the target server I run another OS command after the transfer to unzip the file.
now to your second question:
the before Os command on the target server is used mostly for checks (make sure there isn't a file by that name or backing up existing data)
and the after sender OS command is usualy for backing up or erasing existing files (cause it is done only after the first part was finished succesfully).
Uri Lifshitz.
p.s.
there was a blog obout this titled "XI as a huge file mover"
and you can see a description and my scripts at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/profile/2007/05/03/additionaltipsforusingXIasahugefiletransfer%28withbatchscripts%29&
