Checking the file content in application server

Hi,
I am writing an XML file from the raw XSF data from a smartform auto generated function module through OPEN DATASET command in BINARY MODE. When I go to tcode AL11 to check the content of the XML file, I can see only the first few bytes of it as it looks like one single line in AL11. Is there any way so that I can read the whole content of the file in the application server itself without downloading it into my local machine.
Thanks in advance
Nilay Ghosh

You may try eigther transaction AL11 with allows you to browse files and display their content(as long they are textfiles).
If you need specific conversion an own report may help:
first read the file via dataset commands
if content is non readable convert it to chars
split the string into a char or string table
use the command 'editor-call' (check online help) to display this table.
Kind Regards

Logic to fetch the file name from Application Server

Hi Friends
I have a requirement that : By giving the Directory name (eg:/tmp),I have to get the all file names stored under that Directory name.
Can anyone please provide me the logic / function modules related to this requirement.
Points are assured for useful answers.
Regards,
Sree

Hi,
use these:
function module "EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING"
FM RZL_DIR_READ instead. its easy and effective to use.
Or
FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH,
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_FRONTEND_FILE
OPEN DATASET <Path / filename> FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE...
if sy-subrc eq 8, then the file does not exist on the application server.
Reward Points if found helpfull..

Junk chars in the file posted on application server

HI All,
I am posting a file on the application server using the OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER, CLOSE DATASET commands.
The file is posted successfully but it contains junk characters like # and some box kind of character. The file that has the data doesnot have these junk characters.
Help me resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

this is my code...
Open the file in the application server
OPEN DATASET l_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
Convert workarea to string type
CALL METHOD CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES=>FILL_CONTAINER_C
    EXPORTING
      IM_VALUE               = ls_jhak

    EXCEPTIONS
      ILLEGAL_PARAMETER_TYPE = 1
      OTHERS                 = 2.
Transfer the data fetched into the file
TRANSFER l_file TO l_filename.

Want to know the file path for application server in upload program

Iam doing upload program(i,e)uploading from application server,iam getting run time error while executing the following piece of code
"OPEN DATASET '/usr/sap/SPE/DVEBMGS00/work/ZPSPAR35_PERS_UP.txt' FOR OUTPUT
 IN TEXT MODE
 ENCODING DEFAULT."
if the above code is wrong can u mention the correct one.

hi,
Note: 699267
Symptom
a) When downloading to the application server a short dump occurs with the error 'UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE'.
b) When downloading to a presentation server from an SAP system running on Unicode, only half the data is actually transferred to the downloaded file.
or
*)When downloading from an SAP system running on an application server with an EBCDIC-type code page, an incorrect code '0A' is written for the LINE FEED character

Pre-requisite
a) The output file is opened 'in text mode' which does not allow to write non-character-like structures to the file via the TRANSFER command.
b) The file is downloaded in the internal representation which uses two bytes per character in a Unicode system. The number of bytes to download is determined from the number of characters in the SAP system, however.
or
*)The code of the LINE FEED character is incorrectly programmed.

Solution:
You need to put some support packs attached with this note. For that you definitely need to ask YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE AN S-USER id at your WORK PLACE.
Note: 879598
Reason and Prerequisites
The file is downloaded in the internal representation which uses two bytes per character in a Unicode system. The number of bytes to download is determined from the number of characters in the SAP system. Hence when the download happens the data has to be converted to the required format.
Solution
Apply the corresponding support package or manually implement the changes described in the correction instructions.
Hope this helps.

ak.

How to pull all the txt files from an application server to oracle server

hi
i got some 30 txt files on java application server. i have two questions
1) can java guys will be able to move those files to some oracle directory that will be used by create external table command.
2) can oracle do that using a stored procedure ..but then for it i think i have to create ftppkg and ftpbdy and call and connect each time...
which one is better and why?
regards
raj

Hi,
You can create procedure to move file from application server to oracle server.
Code for list all files in directory
ops$tkyte@8i> GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV to ops$tkyte
2 /
Grant succeeded.
That grant must be given to the owner of the procedure.. Allows them to read
directories.
ops$tkyte@8i> create global temporary table DIR_LIST
2 ( filename varchar2(255) )
3 on commit delete rows
4 /
Table created.
ops$tkyte@8i> create or replace
2 and compile java source named "DirList"
3 as
4 import java.io.*;
5 import java.sql.*;

7 public class DirList
8 {
9 public static void getList(String directory)
10 throws SQLException
11 {
12 File path = new File( directory );

18 element = list;

Creation of xml file in r3 application server (AL11)

Hi All
I need to create xml file in r3 application server (AL11) using PI.Can we achieve this using file adapter or we need to proceed with proxy. As I tried with file adapter with FTP transport protocol. Its giving the error as "Unable to create new pooled resource:FTPEx:Login incorrect".
Thanks in advance

Hi

To generate file at AL11 file directory use File adapter. Proxy is not required for this
Its giving the error as "Unable to create new pooled resource:FTPEx:Login incorrect".
1. Check with the Login credentials for the FTP service.
2. FTP User you use in communication channel must have 777 access to FTP location.

How to check the file size before loading it to the context

Hello,
I have an application to upload a file and write it to the server using the FileUpload UI and IWDResource Interface.
I would like to limit the size of the file the user is uploading to, say, 2MB.
The problem is that the current API doesn't allow me to check the file size before I store it in IWDResource. The API available for IWDResource:
IWDResource resource = ...
InputStream stream = resource.read(false);
size = stream.available();
Is working on the file only AFTER storing it in the context and the server's memory. This way, if a user decides to upload 1GB file for example, he can easily crash the server.
I am already familiar with <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00062266-3aa9-2910-d485-f1088c3a4d71">this</a> arcticle but it doesn't answer this question as well, all it does is calculating the file size only after storing it in the context.
Any ideas...?

Create a Document with an original file stored on application server

Hello,
I start with document managment system : i am able to create new document (CV01N) manually, add a local file and check-in this file.
Now we need to store file which are stored on the SAP Application Server.
Firstly, in the GUI of transaction CV01N, i don't know how to browse file on application server. All files i can't attach as original, are files i can access from my computer.
Is it possible to access also on application server files ?
Moreover, i have to define function module which have to
- Create a document (DMS)
- Attach an orginial file which is stored on application server
- Check-in the file
This function module will be called from a web application
I define this kind of function and run it correctly with a local file (stored on my computer) : i call BAPI "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2" and "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2"
But i don't how to do with a file stored on application server. I see also note 504692 and try a program like ZZUZTEST_TEST_CHECKIN which use FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN but it return an error Error uploading E:\usr\sap\TD1\DVEBMGS00\data\FACTURE.txt" (this path and file exist on application server and is really the file i want to checkin)
Please could you confirm what i search, is possible or not.
If possible, could help me with some explanations and guidelines and perhaps a sample ?
Thank you very much.

Eric

This is a bit tricky. I spent lots of hours about this .
You have to set PF_HOSTNAME with your name of your AS and gives the path to the file on the server.
You wrote
*PF_HOSTNAME = w_host
But beware: if you have more thän one AS you have to fix one AS for upload or you have to find the servers name of the file. A better way can be to share one folder by each AS.
You also have to decide between HTTP or FTP.
You wrote:
PF_FTP_DEST = 'SAPFTPA'
PF_HTTP_DEST = 'SAPHTTPA'
You must define only one ! Then you have to check your settings in SM59 about working right.
Pls rate, if this was helpful.

How to delete string or line from unix file(dataset) of application server

Hi All,
After transfer workarea information or all records into dataset(unix file). When I see the file in application server automatically the last line is shown a blank line. I am not passing any blank line.
I have tried for single record than also the file generates the last line(2nd line) also a blank line.
When I m reading the dataset, it is not reading the last blank line but why it is showing the last blank line?
How to delete string or line from unix file(dataset) of application server?
Please give your comments to resolve this.
Thanks

Hi Rio,
I faced similar kind of issue working with files on UNIX platform.
The line is a line feed to remove it use
DATA : lv_carr_linefd TYPE abap_cr_lf VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
DATA : lv_carr_return TYPE char1,
         lv_line_feed   TYPE char1.
lv_line_feed   = lv_carr_linefd(1).
lv_carr_return = lv_carr_linefd+1(1).
Note: IMP: The character in ' ' is not space but is a special
character set by pressing ALT and +255 simultaneosly
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_line_feed IN l_string WITH ' '.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_carr_return IN l_string WITH ' '.

Open a pdf file located on Application Server from forms 10g

Dear all,
I want to open a pdf file which is stored in a folder on Application Server.
I have the following codes but could not be able to open the file.
1. host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler C:\REP012.pdf');
in this code I mentioned the path on local machine which is okey.
but the question is that how to open the file which is located in a folder on application server?
the following code don't show and file or error:
host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler /EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF');
This is the file on Application Server not on local machine.
2. web.show_document('//EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF/','_blank');
This give HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error
I think the problem is in path, how to mention the path of my Application Server file?
Regards:
Muhammad Nadeem

Hi,
Did you find a solution to this?
We are running into the same problem where we need to open a file present on the application server (path /opt/webapps/applications/ISL/)
When we try this from the local machine it works (path D:/forms) however it does not work while trying to open it from the application server.

checks to see if you have enough available disk space. If you do not,
the installation fails.
Part III: Exploding the Kit onto your system
Expand the self-extracting archive file onto your hard drive.

Part IV: Installation Instructions
Oracle8 ODBC Driver 8.1.7.4.0
This section assumes the following:
1. MS Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 95 or Windows 98 is running.
2. Oracle Universal Installer shipping with 8.1.7 has already been
installed on your system.
3. Part III has been completed.
Software fixes:
Refer to release notes (ODBCRelnotes.wri) for a complete list of
Software fixes.
Installation Instructions
Once the self-extracting archive file ORA8174.EXE has been
exploded it will create an installable directory structure
onto your hard drive. Run the Oracle Universal Installer from
your local drive.
1. On the screen "File Locations" use the "Browse" button of
the source path to choose the file 'products.jar' from the
folder that ORA8174.EXE was extracted to. Choose 'Next'.
2. You will receive a warning that some of the dependencies of
this product are not found in the staging area. This warning
is OK. The ODBC driver depends on the Net8 Client being already
installed on the system. Answer 'Yes' to continue.

Error:ORA-21560: argument 2 is null, invalid, or out of range
I want to diplay/view as per file content format from the file under that specified directory.
Have any other method / any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.

I changed the code like...
CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure READ_FILE_LOB_tmp IS
-- Input Directory as specified in create directory
l_dir CONSTANT VARCHAR2(30) := 'READ_LOB_DIR';
-- Input File which is read word by word
l_fil CONSTANT VARCHAR2(30) := 'testfile.txt';
-- Separator Character between words is a BLANK (ascii = 32)
l_seb CONSTANT RAW(100) := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(CHR(32));
-- Character at the end of the file is NEWLINE (ascii = 10)
l_sen CONSTANT RAW(100) := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(CHR(10));
-- Pointer to the BFILE
l_loc BFILE;
-- Current position in the file (file begins at position 1)
l_pos NUMBER := 1;
-- Amount of characters have been read
l_sum BINARY_INTEGER := 0;
-- Read Buffer
l_buf VARCHAR2(4000);
-- End of the current word which will be read
l_end NUMBER;
-- Return value
l_ret BOOLEAN := FALSE;
BEGIN
-- Mapping the physical file with the pointer to the BFILE
l_loc := BFILENAME(l_dir, l_fil);
-- Check if the file exists
l_ret := DBMS_LOB.FILEEXISTS(l_loc) = 1;
IF (l_ret) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('File ' || l_fil || ' in Directory ' || l_dir ||
' exists');
-- Open the file in READ_ONLY mode
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(l_loc, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
LOOP
-- Calculate the end of the current word
l_end := DBMS_LOB.INSTR(l_loc, l_sen, l_pos, 1);
-- Process end-of-file
IF (l_end = 0) THEN
EXIT;
END IF;
-- Read until end-of-file
l_sum := l_end - l_pos;
DBMS_LOB.READ(l_loc, l_sum, l_pos, l_buf);
dbms_output.put_line(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(l_buf));
l_pos := l_pos + l_sum + 1;
END LOOP;
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(l_loc);
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('File ' || l_fil || ' in Directory ' || l_dir ||
' does not exist');
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Error:' || SQLERRM);
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(l_loc);
END;
Now its working fine with one addtional line...
The file content is...
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
But The output was...
File testfile.txt in Directory READ_LOB_DIR exists
This is My Content

here, i want to delete that additonal line...?

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.

How to run ear file in java application server

1. i m created ear file
2. i m created jar file (bean,home,remote)
3.i m created war file(in the form of jsp)
but till now i couldnt run ear file
how to run
please hel me

You must create :
1.Jar file
2.War file
And then put them into an ear file
Exemple : myapp.ear contains
myappEJB.jar
myappWEB.war
META-INF/application.xml
and application.xml looks like this :
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" version="1.4"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com /xml/ns/j2ee
 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd">
 <display-name>myapp</display-name>
 <description>Demo application</description>
 <module>
 <ejb>myappEJB.jar</ejb>
 </module>
 <module>
 <web>
 <web-uri>myappWAR.war</web-uri>
 <context-root>/myapp</context-root>
 </web>
 </module>
</application>Good luck
