Create Directory via ABAP on Application Server

Hej folks,
does anybody know how to create a directory on the ApplServer via ABAP?
Thanks in advance!
boris

You can create an external command via SM69 which you can then invoke through function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE
For NT you'd need something like the following:
Operating system command
cmd
Parameters for operating system command
/c mkdir
$/SAPGLOBALHOST/\?
Have fun,

Creating a directory statically in the Application Server

Hi,
I need to create a directory in the application server statically (not through code), in which I later have to store and read files. Most forums talk about doing this through AL11 --> Configure.
While this does create an entry in the directory list in AL11, I doubt if the directory was actually created in the AS. Double clicking this directory name shows an error message in the status bar (Wrong order of calls <- CALL opendir: No such file or directory). So I believe the directory is not created at all.
How do I set up a directory which I can browse and see, and use for creating / reading files?
My AS is on AIX OS.
Thanks,
Z

Hi,
Yes, Could we not do it from SAP screens?
Go to Al11 and in that you can see a tab Configure.
There you can create the Directory and say Add button
and then Save .
and after that Using
Open Data set ds1 for Output.
will create the File if it is not there .
you can specify the path in which you can create the files.

Create database on top of application server

Hi, I have Oracle Application Server 10g installed, now can I create database directly on top of that? I tried to use the provided DBCA to create a 10g database. During the creation process, I got "ORA-01304: Oracle not available". Is there anybody know what is wrong with this? Or should I install 10g database independenttly?
Any input will be appreciated.

Hi,
"can I create database directly on top of that" ...
1. If you are installing in the same "ORACLE_HOME" directory no.
2. If you are installing in a different directory, and have sufficient memory, cpu, diskspace (a significant issue)... then Yes
"should I install 10g database independently"
1. perhaps, see above, if Yes to (2) then is this a development platform for yourself or an organizational / company platform. It is common practice for the apps server and db to be installed on different servers for performance reasons.

Creating connection pool on Sun Application Server 8.1

Hi All,
I am trying to create a connection pool for my MySql database on Sun Application Server(Version 8.1) using 'asadmin'. I am also able to create the connection pool successfully but when i am trying to ping the connection pool, it is giving me the java.net.UnknownHostException. The command I am using for creating the connection pool is as follows:
create-jdbc-connection-pool user admin password adminadmin host localhost port 4849 datasourceclassname com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MySqlConnectionPoolDataSource restype javax.sql.XADatasource --property User=root:Password=admin:SelectMethod=Cursor:DatabaseName=testdb:serverName=\"localhost\":portNumber=3306 MyConnectionPool
My database and the application server are running on the same machine.
Has anyone come across such a problem? Any help would be highly appriciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Anurag.

hi Anurag,
Check the properties in the jdbc-connection-pool tag and make sure that the values are populated correctly. You can also try specifying the actual hostname or IP address of the machine instead of localhost and see if that works.

Creating directories for installing Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2

Hi,
I have Red Hat Linux 4.0 and i am trying to install OAS 10.2.0 Enterprise Edition which includes web tier, app tier and database tier all in server machine because i do have about 100GB disk space, 12 GB memory and 9 GB swap space.
Now, i read the OAS installation documents which i got from oracle.com
as well as i read OAS installation chapters from the OAS books i purchased from oracle press.
now each documentation guides us to create different folders with different names for installinmg the AS. these are the list of directories i got from both these documentations.
for Inventory:
/home/oracle/oraInventory
/opt/oracle/oraInventory
for Infrastructur instance:
/opt/oracle/oraInfra
/u01/oracle/infra1012
for Database files:
/u01/oracle/infra1012/datafiles
/opt/oracle/oraInfra/datafiles
for BI and Forms:
/opt/oracle
/u02/oracle
and from above comparisons which one is oracle recommended default directory name that i should create for my installation.
also what path should i give for ORACLE_HOME. is it
/home/oracle/product or
/opt/oracle
Can someone please guide me with creating the correct recommended directories for installaing OAS10.1.2.
Or can i go ahead and create my own directory names for the installation.
Thanks,
Philip.

Basically it's up to you how to design the directory structure.
What I normally do on my VMWare instances where I run RedHat is one directory in the home dir of the Oracle user.
So I have:
/home/oracle
In there one directory for the software called products
/home/oracle/products
When I have several ORACLE_HOME's they get their own dir in the above directory, for example:
/home/oracle/products/db102
/home/oracle/products/as101202infra
/home/oracle/products/as101202mid
/home/oracle/products/as10131soa
and so on.
When dealing with installation at customers I adhere to their standard which is normally based on OFA. Search for OFA on the internet and you get the reason why you see so many differnet directories in the docs and books.

How to run the report via application server

Report not running?
hi All,
I am calling the report via forms, In application server i had recompiled the reports in two different format too.
1. myreports.rep
2. myreports.jsp
I have called the report from the menu and i used code like below
Declare
 V_id Varchar2(100);
Begin
 V_id := Run_Report_Object('myreports');
End;but i am getting following error.
Frm-41219:Cannot find report:Invalid ID.and subsequently an another too.
Frm-40738:Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null.please guide me
kanish

I using Forms 10g R2, i store the recompile version in Application server.
Good, so you can refer to the metalink note I mentioned above, as per storing the reports in the application server, the default place for running reports is not a folder in the FORMS_PATH, the REPORTS_PATH is set in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh file, pointing by default to the sample folder - $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo, for testing purposes you can put your report there and try it again, or you can modify the REPORTS_PATH variable in the reports.sh file to point to the directory you were mentioning.
Note: I am calling the report throug menu using the eariler posting code.
I would recommend to create a Form to call the Report, I am not sure if there are restrictions about invoking a report directly from the menu.
About the code, you are missing a lot there, refer to metalink note mentioned above, here is an excerpt from that document.
PROCEDURE TEST_REPORT IS
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('report5');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver90');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no pdeptno='||:dept.deptno);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
 LOOP
 rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
 END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
 /*Display report in the browser*/
 WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://<YourServerName:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
 substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
ELSE
 message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;
In my eariler version 6i (2 tier) when i call the report it invoke parameter form. will 10g also behave same like 6i?
Yes, there is still a parameter Form which runs in an HTML page.
*1. Should i want to create any Report_Path, Report_classpath ? if yes ,where should i ?* It will depend on your configuration, the easiest way is to setup the REPORTS_PATH in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh file, if you are configuring the reports server to use environment ids, that would not work and you would need to setup the REPORTS_PATH directly in the reports engine configuration file .. $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/rwserver.template.

FTP without creating files on Application server

hello everyone,
in an internal table i have around 100 records each of length around 3500 chararters. i want to send this data to the client via ftp in the form of txt file. since the lenght of each record exceeds 1000 bytes, i thought of sending the data directly to the ftp server without creating the file on the application server. is this feasible. please provide the necessary steps to achieve this.

Hi,
The FTP involves a lot of complexity but you can do the SCP(secure copy) instead. And what u can do is first create a file on application server and then u can delete it...
the sample code is below..
#!/bin/ksh
scp <filename> <destination>
rm -f <filename>
