Deleting file from Al11

Hi,
How to delete a file manually from AL11 or Application server.
Thanks,
Sravanthi

Frame ur directory path by defining a variable and use the DELETE option for data set to delete ur particular file.
Example below:
data:w_outfile(50).
concatenate '/' sy-sysid '/abc/xyz/'
into w_outfile.
concatenate w_outfile 'FileName.txt' into w_outfile.
delete dataset w_outfile.
Hope this will help you!

Deleting file from AL11 Tcode

Guy's
pls let me know ,how we can delete files which we have
in ALL11 tcode.
thanks
sanju

HI,
Jus chk out this:
DELETE - Delete a file
Basic form
DELETE DATASET dsn.
Effect
Deletes the file specified in the field dsn.
The return code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
File deleted.
SY-SUBRC = 4:
File does not exist or could not be deleted.
Possible reasons:
1) The file does not exist.
2) The file is a directory.
3) The R/3 System has no search authorization
for a component of the file name.
4) The R/3 System has no search authorization
for the directory which contains the file.
5) A component of the search path is not a
directory.
6) The file is a symbolic link which cannot be
resolved (endless loop ?).
7) The file is a program which is currently
running.
You can refer this piece of code:
LOOP AT gt_files WHERE type <> 'directory file'
AND len EQ 0.
CONCATENATE p_path gt_files-name INTO test.
CONDENSE test NO-GAPS.
OPEN DATASET test.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DELETE DATASET test.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
MESSAGE i000(0) WITH 'file deleted'.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Delete the file from AL11

hi all,
how to delete file from application server(al11)?
apart from using EPS_DELETE_FILE
and writing a code any other go to acheive it
regards
venkat

Hi,
AL11 is a tool to view files that exist on the operating system of the SAP instance (which I think is Rainer's point).
The only way to delete this files is either programatically (with the function module you mention or other ways) or to log onto the operating system directly and delete the file. In either case you are not deleting them from AL11, you are deleting them from the operating system.

Delete file from folder only (not from list)

Hi all,
I've searched a lot and didn't succeed so far, that's why I need your help. In a cloud context, I'm actually creating and uploading files (pdf and/or xml files) "on the go" to sharepoint folders via the SOAP API and this is perfectly working. But
in a cloud context, I also need to decomission services which is translated into deleting files into Sharepoint.
That's where it became complicated, because according to the API we cannot delete files if they are not part of a list structure, which is not my case. Is that true ?
The only info I have when trying to delete a file via the SOAP Api is : its name, its folder, and the endpoint where the folder is. So my question remains simple I guess : is this possible ? If so, how to (a link to the SOAP body would be usefull)
Thanks a lot
Regards
Baptiste

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to delete file from folder.
In SharePoint 2010, It is recommended to use Client Object Model to achieve it, the following code snippet for your reference:
string siteURL = "http://siteurl";
ClientContext context = new ClientContext(siteURL);
//specific user
NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
context.Credentials = credentials;
Web web = context.Web;
context.Load(web);
context.ExecuteQuery();
string relativeUrl =web.ServerRelativeUrl +"/DocumentLibraryName/FolderName/FileName";
File file = web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl(relativeUrl);
context.Load(file);
file.DeleteObject();
context.ExecuteQuery();
If you still want to use SOAP API, we can use the UpdateListItems method under Lists web service to achieve it.

How to permanently delete files from trash?

I usually see TV series online. Every time I visit to the website, it automatically downloads a Mac_Installer file to my Downloads folder. I delete the file without opening it and secure empty the trash. When I visit the website again, the same file is downloaded to my Downloads folder, and the "previous deleted file" from the trash can reappears on it. How to solve this matter? My computer is a MacBook Pro and is running OS X Mavericks.
Thanks.

Try erasing free space using Disk Utility.
Erase free disk space
When you delete files in Mac OS X, your Mac deletes the information used to access the deleted files but doesn't physically remove them. Although the space used by the deleted files appears as free space, the deleted files remain on the disk until new files are written over them. As a result, these files can be recovered. Erasing free space does not delete any other files on your disk besides the ones that you already deleted.
After the drive is connected, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
Go Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
Once you are in the Disk Utility app, select the disk or partition you would like to erase from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Erase Free Space button.
Use the Slider to choose how many times you would like to write over the free space.
Select Erase Free Space.
Note: After this process starts, you can cancel it at any time without harming any of your data. You might see a message stating that you are running out of disk space. This is normal and to be expected. You can ignore this message.
When the process is complete, you should have the same amount of free space. If you do not have the same amount of free space, try restarting the computer.
I hope I helped.
