Copy/move file on application server

Hey guys,
is there an easy way to copy/move a file from one directory on application server to an other directory? I know i could use the commands OPEN DATASET and so on. Is there an other way to do this via a function module?
   thx,
     M.

    hi,
    You can use the transactions CG3Y or through program u can do like this..
    DATA: BEGIN OF IT_FILE OCCURS 0,
                    LINE TYPE STRING,
               END OF IT_FILE.
    OPEN DATASET <file_name>  FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
            IF SY-SUBRC IS INITIAL.
              DO.
                READ DATASET<file_name> INTO IT_FILE-LINE.
                IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
                  APPEND IT_FILE.
                  CLEAR IT_FILE.
                ELSE.
                  EXIT.
                ENDIF.
              ENDDO.
            ENDIF.
    CLOSE DATASET <file_name>.

    means  i have to move 000000.bmp file from XVZ to tmp directory ,</b>

    Hello Neetu
    Alternatively you could use a combination of the following function modules:
    - EPS_FTP_PUT
    - EPS_DELETE_FILE

    Thanks Raman and Challa,
    We want to move file from application server to Shared folder, not on local machine. We checked FM which you guys have provided but those are not able to read file from application server.
    We need this program to run in background so that we can use this in daily process chain.

  • How to copy file from application server

    Hello experts,
    How to copy file from one folder of application server and paste it to other folder of application server(application server is same)?
    Is there any function module exists???
    thanks in advance
    Saurabh

    Hi you can use this function module to move a file from application server to another folder on application server.
    call function 'WS_FILE_COPY'
               exporting
                    destination = m_destination
                    source      = m_source
               importing
                    return      = return.
    Plus u can use this function module to delete the file from that folder from which u want to replace it.
          call function 'WS_FILE_DELETE'
               exporting
                    file   = m_source
               importing
                    return = return.
    The above FM can help u copy a file from one folder to another and delete the file from that folder.

  • Infopackage-Load Many Files from Application Server and later Archive/Move

    Hi All..
      I have a doubt,   I have a requirement of take many files to load into BI 7.0..  I used the infopackage before with option:
    Load Binary File From Application server
      I load information successfully... only with one file ...but If I can load many files (with different names) like the next list.. I think it's not a good idea modify the file name (path) on infopackage each time).. :
    *All of this files will be on one server that itu2019s map into AL11.. Like
    Infopfw
    BW_LOAD_20090120.txt
    BW_LOAD_20090125.txt
    BW_LOAD_OTHER_1.txt
    u2026.
    Etc..
    This directory it's not in BW server.. It's other server..but I can load form this location (one file by one)
    Could you help me with this questions:
    -     How can I Use an infopackage with routine that take all the files..one by oneu2026 in order of creation dateu2026and load into Target? Is it possible?.. I have some knowledge of ABAP.. but I don´t know exactly how I can say to system this logicu2026
    -     In addition is it possible move this files to other locationu2026 like into Infopfwarchive u2026 just to have an history of files loaded.
    I saw that in infopackage you have an option to create a routine.. in ABAP codeu2026 Iu2019m a little bit confused because I donu2019t  know how I can specify all the path..
    I try with:
    Infopfw
    InfopfwFile.csv
    Infopfw
    This is the abap code that automatically you see and you need to modifyu2026
    Create a routine for file name
    This routine will be called by the adapter,
    when the infopackage is executed.
              p_filename =
              p_subrc = 0.
    Thank you for your ideas or recommendations.
    Al

    Hi Reddy, thank you for your answer
    I have some doubuts.. when you explain me the option:
    All the above files are appending dates at the end of the file....
    You can load the files through infopackage by using Routines and pick the files based on date at the end of the file..***
    I need to ask you if you think that when you know the date of the file and the infopackage pick each file... thi can work for many files??... or how it's possible control this process?
    About this option, I want to ask you If when you menction Unix code... where it's programed this code?.. in the routine of BW Infopackage??
    ****Or
    Create two folders in your BW in Application server level, in AL11 (ask Basis team)
    I call it is F1 and F2 folders.
    First dump the files into F1 I assume that the file name in F1 is "BW_LOAD_20090120.txt", using Unix code you rename the file and then keep in the same foleder F1 or move to F2.
    Then create InfoPackage and fix the file name (i.e. you renamed), so you don't need to change everyday your file name at infopackage level.Because in AL11 everyday the file are overwrite.
    To I get BW_LOAD_20090120.txt file in F1, then I renamed to BW_LOAD.txt and loaded into BW, then tomorrow I get BW_LOAD_20090125.txt in F1, then I renamed to BW_LOAD.txt....
    so in this way it will work.You need to schedule the Ubix script in AL11.
    This is the way how to handle the application server...I'm using the same logic.
    Thank you soo much.

  • Downloading file to application server

    Hi,
    I have requirement of downlaoding some (.doc,.xls,.txt,.ppt) files into application server from sap r/3,the file will be picked by some other 3rd party application.
    I was able to achieve it using OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER,but the data gets encrytped and the actual file is not copied to application server.(example if its .doc file the same file data should be copied to app server and not the encrypted file data like 5%%#.......6234726&&%212).
    The encrypted file again displays like exact file as its uploaded when downloaded from app server.
    But the file in app server is encrypted,my requirement is to copy the exact file to app server.
    This encryption is happening when is OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER,even the FM ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER is also using  OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER only.
    Please suggest me any other way to move file to app server other than OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER.
    Thanks,
    Phani.

    If you are downloading the file from application server, you have to use OPEN DATASET CLOSE DATASET.

  • Create Excel file in application server but the field value is incorrect

    Hi Experts,
    i am facing a problem when create excel file in application server using OPEN DATASET command.
    the internal table have 4 field and one of those field contains 19 digit number --> ICCID.
    the code running well, successfully create EXCELfile in application server but the problem is SAP only copy exactly first 15 digit numeric only and the rest became zero 0
    Example :
    the field value in internal table is 8962118800000447654 but when i opened in the excel file the value became 8962118800000440000.
    and if i add alphabet like a8962118800000447654 then it is correct.
    is there is anything wrong with my code?
    here is my code

  • Move file from App server to same server on different path

    Hi All,
    I have to move a file from Application server to a folder in the same server....
    pls tell me how can i do this....
    its very urgent....
    Thanks...............

    Hi
    First you read the file in output mode using Open dataset and Read dataset statement with the initial application server path.
    Then write this data back to another file path by opening the file in Input mode and using Transfer statement.
    Example.
    open dataset <file1> mode output encding default.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
    read dataset <file1> into wa_itab.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    append wa_itab to itab.
    else.
    exit.
    endif.
    enddo.
    open dataset <file2> mode input encding default.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    loop at itab into wa_itab.
    transfer wa_itab to <file2>.
    endloop.
    endif.

                name     = p_fdir
           tables
                file_tbl = it_filedir.
    Now in internal table "it_filedir"  will have all your files.
    For moving and deleting

  • How to delete files from application server posted in last 30 days

    I have some files in application server posted through ABAP program with the below format
    \.\.\.abcd_20110209_111209.csv   (with  date and time). I need to delete those files which was posted in last 30 days through another program. Could you plaese help me to achieve the requirement?

    There are many ways you can delete/archive files in application servers.
    1. Depending on the application server, usually administrators setup delete/archive programs. For e.g. if the application server is a UNIX, then the unix admin will write a script to delete/move older files. - this is the most common approach I've seen.
    If you have to achieve this through ABAP then,
    1. You can get the script from the server admin and then use that script to create an external system command through SM69/49 and use the function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to execute it.
    2. You can also look at FM EPS_DELETE_FILE and see if it fits the bill for you.
    There are many other possibilities too and each one has its own pros/cons. So you'll have to choose the right one for your requirement.

  • To access pdf files from application server using web.show_document

    Hello!
    If my pdf file is copied in Oracle_home/forms90/java directory.Then using web.show_document i can access the pdf file.But I can't copy all the pdf files in /forms90/java directory.We have lacs of pdf files which I want to keep in my own directory.But my requirement is if my pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in (Linux application server) ie in my own directory where I store all the pdf files.Then web.show_document does not open the pdf file.It says page cannot be displayed.For that I think we have to configure the directory /home2/docs directory as a webserver.From otn I got something like forms90.conf file in application server where we have to set virtual directory mapping etc.If the pdf is in local machine then in orion-web.xml file we have to mention real path and save the file and shutdown oc4j instance and restart it again.I tried it.But it is not working.Can u give me step by step instructions to solve this problem.I found a few links in discussion forum.But is doesn't work out.My pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in Linux application server.Please treat it as urgent.

    Hi Sandeepmsandy,
    There is no available code sample for this scenario. You may write your own.
    Step 1: Get pdf URL from sqlite database. Please refer to the following MSDN blog and see a code sample.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertgreen/archive/2012/11/13/using-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps.aspx. Note, you need to retarget the project to 8.1 and then get two sqlite packages from NuGet before building this sample.
    Step 2: Use some special classes to get file from serer.
    HttpWebRequest can help download small pdf files. For more information to see
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/de96a61c-e089-4595-8349-612be5d23ee6/download-file-with-httpwebrequest?forum=winappswithcsharp. It’s easy for use, but if you want to download the larger or many files, it’s recommend to use
    BackgroundTransfer namespace. The classes in this namespace provide a power way to transfer files in the background. See a code sample from MSND.
