Convert file path in application server as link

How can we convert file path in application server as link to send email.
Thanks
Suresh

Your app server folders have a mappable location on your network, e.g,
server\path\filename. Use an HTML anchor tag and build the link with code. You'd be better off storing files on a file server (write to a mapped location from the app server) and link to there (same process).

File path for application server file

Hi All,
             I have a file 'abc.doc' stored on the application sever.
            I want to crate a document using the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE and store this file
            What is the file path that I need to pass into the bapi.
Please help
Warm Regards
Sunil Kumar.

Hello Sunil
You are right. That's the file path you should specify. It looks like your application server is running on UNIX platform. You can use transaction AL11 to locate your file and specify the file path in normal unix format. If this doesnt work, you can try prefixing your file path with "file:// ".

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.

Issue: XML File Downloading to Application Server

Hi All,
I am experiencing an issue downloading an XML File to the Application Server.
I'm using FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT to convert SAP data to XML Format.
After getting the XML data into XMLTAB, I'm using:
OPEN DATASET pfile_fs FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE .
     LOOP AT xmltab INTO xmltab_w.
     TRANSFER xmltab_w TO pfile_fs.
      CLEAR xmltab_w.
     ENDLOOP.
   CLOSE DATASET pfile_fs.
The xml file is downloaded show an Error in 'XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'file:/shared/TEST/2009'
But when i download xml file using the FM WS_Download , the XML page has no errors .
I am unable to figure out what could be the issue, If this issue is due to some characters like Chinese or Japanese then .. is there any solution for this .
Please, give me your valuable suggestions.

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.

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 get creation date of a file created in application server?

Dear experts ,
I have some txt files in a particular path in application server .Suppose path is - \\PMICHSAPLA30\INTERFACE\\BCD\CO\OTC\SALES_RPT\test.txt.
I want to fetch the creation date of this txt file - test.txt . I tried with fm - ADS2KIPUPL_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES , but this will give proper out put.
I need to get file creation date. If today I am creating file - abc.txt, so according to this file I should get today's date as creation date.
Please suggest me.

                    BEGIN OF ty_file,
                    line(400)   TYPE c,                                      "File names
                  END   OF ty_file,
This is the structure declaration.
l_v_unixcom would be ls -l \\PMICHSAPLA30\INTERFACE\\BCD\CO\OTC\SALES_RPT\test.txt
now call
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD l_v_unixcom
                ID 'TAB'     FIELD i_file[].
and see contents of i_file[] it should have the details, post results so we can help further

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
