CPC2206 by calling a external command

Question

Hi,
we have one SAP installation which is not able to call an external command that is configured in the transaction SM69.
For example we have created an command ZWRKWTR that call the command WRKWTR.
When we try to execute the command via SM49, we retriebv only result:
(no spooled files)
Eigentumsrecht f}r Objekt JLQMHLJOBL in QTEMP Art *USRSPC geändert.
On other installations with the same kernel we have no problems to call this command.
In this forum is an other thread in this forum form 2006 with the same problem.
Volker suggested to patch the SAPXPG and the SAPCMD, but we didn't find these programs in the 7.0-kernel.
Many greetings,
Stefan

Hi,
it is difficult to guess what could have gone wrong here. In general the function works, so something must be wrong with your specific installation. To get more information, you can set the "Trace" flag in SM69. Before you execute the command in SM49, lock a work process through transaction SE38, report RSTRC000. After the execution of the command, look into the developer trace of that work process for more information.
When the command gets executed, a new job named CALLCMD gets spawned from the work process. Use DSPLOG to find out whether this job got started. If it does not write a joblog, change the work process with CHGJOB LOG(4 00 *SECLVL) to force the output of a joblog. Maybe that one has more information.
Kind regards,
