Directory Existence Check on Application Server

Is there any function module to check whether a given directory exists on Application Server or not.

This works pretty good for me.
REPORT ZRICH_0001 .

data: result type abap_bool.
path = '\<host>usrsapTSTSYS'.
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_EXIST
EXPORTING
    DIRECTORY            = path
RECEIVING
    RESULT               = result
EXCEPTIONS
    CNTL_ERROR           = 1
    ERROR_NO_GUI         = 2
    WRONG_PARAMETER      = 3

    others               = 5.
if result = 'X'.
Write:/ 'Directory Exists'.
else.
Write:/ 'Directory not found'.
endif.

Directory Existence Check Before File-Download.

Hi,
How to check the existence of a directory say USR/INTERFACES/HR/NONHR/SAP_TO_IFS/
before I download a file into that particular directory using GUI_Download.
Currently even if such a directory does not exist,
The download is successful.
But I want to validate the existence of the directory before the download.I tried using the FM PFL_CHECK_DIRECTORY.
Kindly Advice.
Thanks .

Hello Renu
It seems that you are mixing directories on presentation (GUI_DOWNLOAD) and application server (USR/INTERFACES/HR/NONHR/SAP_TO_IFS/).
To check the existance of a directory on the presentation server use method cl_gui_frontend_services=>DIRECTORY_EXIST.
This class has many more useful methods.

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.

Function - check path - application server or presentation server

Hi Gentlemen!!
I'm looking for a function to export a path and return if the path belongs of an application server or an presentation.
thanks.
Polak.-

You can just check if the second character of the path variable is a ':'
IF yes then presentation server
else application server.

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,

Oracle application server 10g version checking scripts

Hi does anyone know how the script to check the application server 10g version on R12.1.3, without checking it on the form.

Hi Tunde,
You can get the detailed version of all the 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 components using the below commands
A. 10.1.3 Component Versions
========================
1. Login in to Putty as application file system owner
2. Source the applications env file under $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3 directory.
3. cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
4. opatch lsinventory -detail >> inv.out
5. Review the inv.out file and check for the Oracle Application Server and other component versions.
B. 10.1.2 Component Versions
========================
1. Login in to Putty as application file system owner
2. Source the applications env file under $APPL_TOP
3. cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch - This will be pointing to 10.1.2 Home
4. opatch lsinventory -detail >> inv.out
5. Review the inv.out file and check for the Oracle Application Server and other component versions.
I hope this clarifies your queries, Please let me know the same.

InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

BW Experts,
I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

Hi Nagesh,
Thanks for helping out.
If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
(red icon) Request No.147515
0 Data Records
Runtime 1 sec.
(red icon)Run No. 1
0 Data Records
Runtime 1 sec.
Messages for Run

Could not open file on application server RSBO 214
Request 147515 was terminated before extraction RSBO 326
Request 1475151: Error occured RSBO 322
If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.
Please help.

Oracle application server fails with jdk1.6

I have installed oracle application server 10.1.3.3, i want to use jdk1.6.0_xx. i configured in this following way
Renamed the current JDK directory used by the Application Server installation ( in our case renamed jdk under this location “/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1” to jdk.orig using mv jdk jdk.orig)
Then went to this location /product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1 and execute “ln -s /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_13 jdk”
check java version from this location /product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/jdk/bin use ./java –version
When i start i am getting this following error in the log file.
Unrecognized VM option 'AppendRatio=3'
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

To get it starting, remove the AppendRatio.

Configuring Forms Builder 10g to run (Ctrl-R) against application server

I would like to run forms from my working directory against our development application server and config, rather than having a local OC4J running. I have configured this by setting the application server URL runtime preference to "http://<server>.<domain>:80/forms/frmservlet?config=dev". This works fine.
However, when I run the Form, I get "FRM-40010: Cannot read form H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmx". This is because we open our FMBs from a locally mapped drive (i.e. I opened the FMB from H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmb). When run against the application server it seems Forms Builder trys to run an executable with the same path as the FMB - H:\Neil\TAF00180.fmx, but the application server has no knowledge of a mapped H-drive.
The only solution I can think of is to have an H-drive mapped on the application server to the same location as our locally mapped network drive.
This doesn't seem like the correct solution to me. How should we configure Oracle Forms 10g and the application server to allow us to run our own working versions against the applications server and config?

Slava Natapov wrote:
I guess Neil concern is that OC4J and Forms Server are using own formsweb.cfg and .env files
And settings can be different.
For example what if local formsweb.cfg configured to run Jinitiator, but server formsweb.cfg configured for JPI, or they configured with different lookandfeel parameter, or local and server default.env use different NLS_DATE_FORMAT?Hi Slava, Hi Neil
I think this is more related to "discipline" for the developers....
@ Neil : How many developers do you have in your team ?
Are developers allowed to "customize" their formsweb.cfg and .env files ?
or more customized basejinit.htm, registry.dat, additional jar files ... etc
or more using different oracle_home for their installation of Developer Suite.
@ Slava : Using local formsweb.cfg and .env files might not be a problem if every developer machine is installed the same way (i.e. the same oracle_home).
Also, I don't think that using workingDirectory to network shared connection for each developer is a solution
[dev1]
workingDirectory= H:/dev1
[dev2]
workingDirectory= H:/dev2
And at least this is requiring customized *.env files ! as the forms_path should be set for runtime in it for each developer.
The registry entry is only for the builder to find the path to mmb and pll files for example, and compile well, but the runtime is using *.env files.
And what about developing in windows and deploy it to linux ?
I recently managed a project with junior and undisciplined developers. The boss had the same concern about each network drive per developer.
My concern was how to eliminate all subjective considerations..
And my answer was "Subversion" no mess with local or network version with the "copy of the copy of the copy of the fmb files".
So all forms_path were set to C:\myApp\forms etc and each developer made a checkout and commit versions twice a day.
And the Application Server was also "checked out" to have the latest revision and then ran it into a pre-version for production.
If I had to make some important changes in the *.olb file or the *.pll files then I made a commit for all developers and then re-compile all *.fmb and re-commit and checkout again.
I really don't matter if the developer used jinitiator or jpi but the right working copy.
And standalone OC4J was enough to make basics tests for each developer.
More tests were made by project managers at the application server level and then adjustments (if required) where sent to developers.
Hope this helps.

Jean-Yves

Hello everybody.
I'm new on BO products, and i have problems with installation on Oracle Application Server 10.1.3
BuildVersion=12.1.0.882.BOE_Mira_RTM
I have success installed OAS 10.1.3 (with patch 10.1.3.3.0), and when i'm installing BO following documentation, after installation no any BO applications in OAS found. This is first.
Then i attempt install BO applications (CmcApp, AdminTools, etc...) manualy... I have success installation of CmcApp, but when try it to run, i get error ([logon_error_attach|http://www.sendspace.com/file/u8gyoj]), page with logo BO, but logon form (logon.faces) could't be found... i think *.faces on OAS does not work/support, it must be something like *.jsp, *.jspx, but not *.faces, or i must configure OAS in special way.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Evgeny.
