Creation of DME medium FZ205 There is no source data found

Question

We are executing payment runs using F110 and then creating data medium - a file to send to the bank.
In the variant for the program I am putting C:\ however when I have several users executing payment runs at the same time, the data medium is not creating and I am getting the error message that the source data cannot be found
Can anyone help me with this issue - should I leave the file name as blank?
Thanks

Hello,
In order to avoid FZ205 please review your selection parameters and F1 help for the print program when creating the file:
1. If you are taking the Output to file system:
If required, the file can be written to the file system. The created file can be copied to a PC using data medium exchange management. You should be looking for downloaded files here, since the data carrier is not managed within the SAP system, but is already stored in the file system by the payment medium program. The file name should be defined by the user. You should make sure that existing files with the same name have already been processed, because they will be overwritten.
Note:If a file cannot be found using the data medium exchange management the reason could be that the directory that was written to at the start of the payment medium program (in background processing, for example) cannot be read online.
You should then select a directory which can be recorded and read by several different computers. Due to the problems described above and the resulting lack of data security, we advise against writing to the file system. This method is only beneficial if the data carrier file is taken from the file system by an external program, to be transferred to the bank.
2. If you are taking Output into TemSe:
If required, the file created can be stored within the SAP System(store in the TemSe and not in the file system),thus protecting it from unauthorized external access. You can download the file into the user's file system via the DME manager. The name of the file to be created during the download can be determined when running the payment medium program: the contents of the
file name parameter are stored in the management data and defaulted when running the download.
Please check the corresponding files in the DME administration for all files and check if the output medium 'File-System' has been
chosen, that means output medium '0'. In order to use the TemSe you have to use the output medium '1'. Furthermore see if the PC-file- paths, like c:\filename.DAT, instead of application file names. The FDTA has difficulties to find these files, especially by using 2 application servers.
To avoid problems with the files SAP recommends you to use the TemSe   with output medium '1', or the file system with output
medium '0'. TemSe is always a better option.
I hope this helps.
