hi Deepu,
Use FM '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_FRONTEND_FILE' for fetching the data from the application server path/presentation server path

Need utilities class for application server file system (i.e. unix etc)

I need to do things to directories and files on the application server.
Is there an SAP class with methods for the application server file system (i.e. unix or whatever) with functionality similiar to what is provided by the methods of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES for the presentation server?
Is there a group of SAP functions for this task?

You may have a look at Thomas Jung article: [sdn contribution : ABAP Server Side File Access, by Thomas Jung|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/7a13f367-0401-0010-47ba-eab0b15cf31c]
Moreover, in release 7.10, it could be possible that SAP introduced input and output stream classes (to mimic java classes), so I guess there could be the ones for application server file system.

Function module for transfering a file contents into another?

Hi all,
Is there a Function module for transfering a file contents into another?That is the whole content from a file to other??

Hi,
I think there is no such FM. You need to read the data in internal table and then write it in another file.

Regarding Application server file path browsing

Hi All,
I have a issue regarding Application Server File Path browsing.
Actually in my selection-screen i will declare a parameter as Application Server File Path now when i press F4 in that field it should be able to browse through Application Server Path's.
Just like F4_FILENAME in the case of Presentation Server File Path Browsing.
Can anybody solve my issue.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Hi Shaik,
Just copy and paste:
Here is the code for retrieving list of files contained within specific Application server directory(SAP).
PARAMETER: p_fdir type pfeflnamel DEFAULT '/usr/sap/tmp'.
data: begin of it_filedir occurs 10.
include structure salfldir.
data: end of it_filedir.
START-OF-SELECTION.
Get Current Directory Listing for OUT Dir
call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'
exporting
name = p_fdir
tables
file_tbl = it_filedir.
List of files are contained within table it_filedir
loop at it_filedir.
write: / it_filedir-NAME.
endloop.
Hope this will help you.
Let me know incase of any concerns.
EDIT:
There are few FM for ur refernce :
RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL
SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST Return table with file list for the given directory (pattern allowed)
F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION Popup to select one file from the given application server directory
TH_SERVER_LIST Returns list of application servers.
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING Lists filenames from the application server .

Function modules calling Application server

I am working on a SAP Migration for windows to unix. Right now I am patching up all custom programs which call the Application server using physical filenames and paths (platform specific) and replacing them with logical paths and names (platform independent). I need help from you guys to identify more function modules which uses file names that are platform specific. I have taken care of open dataset and FTP commands. Any help pointing out function modules is highly appreciated. Points will be rewarded. Thanks in advance.
Rohit

Hi ,
Check the following function groups for file related operations.
GRAP - Frontend related.
SVRZ - System related.
SFTP - FTP related.
SFIL - Logical file name related.
As per my understanding, we are not using any function modules to read data from application server.
Best of luck.
Thanks

i have tried running the program 'SBAL_DISPLAY' by putting the Break point at the line ( CALL FUNCTION 'BAL_DSP_LOG_DISPLAY'
      EXPORTING
        i_t_log_handle      = l_t_log_handle)
,while debugging the values are as below:
L_T_LOG_HANDLE : Sorted Table[1x1(44)]

could you please help me in getting the log into spool wihtout having to press the execute button and without having to look at the Log.

Function module to get the file path in the system for TEMP folder

Hi All,
Is there any function module that I can use to get the file path in the system for TEMP folder.
I mean, i am supposed to give only TEMP as the input for that function module and I need to get the path of that in the system as the output.
I am unsing 4.0 version.
Please advice.
Regards
Ramesh

In Higher versions, we can use the below code:
call method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ENVIRONMENT_GET_VARIABLE
 exporting
 VARIABLE = 'TEMP'
 importing
 VALUE = LV_TMP
 exceptions
 CNTL_ERROR = 1
 others = 2.
if SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 message id SY-MSGID type SY-MSGTY number SY-MSGNO
 with SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.
call method CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH
 exceptions
 CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1
 CNTL_ERROR = 2
 others = 3.
if SY-SUBRC <> 0.
Error handling
endif.
concatenate lv_tmp '\' into folder_path.
But need to know in the lower versions like 3.1h and 4.0,

File path for application server file

Hi All,
             I have a file 'abc.doc' stored on the application sever.
            I want to crate a document using the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE and store this file
            What is the file path that I need to pass into the bapi.
Please help
Warm Regards
Sunil Kumar.

Hello Sunil
You are right. That's the file path you should specify. It looks like your application server is running on UNIX platform. You can use transaction AL11 to locate your file and specify the file path in normal unix format. If this doesnt work, you can try prefixing your file path with "file:// ".

Validation and F4 help on an application server file path parameter

Hi
I have a field on a selection screen called File Path and it is for a download program where the user needs to specify the path for the download (NOT THE ACTUAL FILENAME).
I am trying to find a function or method that allows a user to use F4 help to browse for a directory rather than a specific file. There are lots of posts out there asking this question but all of the answers point to functions that allow you to browse for a particular file rather than just the file path/directory.
Does anyone know of a function that provides F4 help to browse for a file path on the Server (NOT PC). I would want the user to just be able to select the directory or path and have the path returned. They should not need to pick a specific file.
F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION is a very good function but unfortunately it makes the user pick a file rather than just a directory.
In addition to this, does anyone know of a function or method that allows you to then validate the path\directory that is entered?
Thanks for your help
Nicole

Hi,
You can try with the FM 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'. With this Fm module you will get you the list of files of a particular path in an internal table. Then you can populate this internal table in F4 help.
Hope this solves your problem. If any difficulty, come back to me about that.
Below are some other FM related to application server directory. Hope these Helps.
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_PATH
EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES
EPS_GET_FTP_SYSTEM_INFO

Application server file path name separated by apace

Hi All,
I am writing files on application server. Below is my fie path.
parameters: p_o_file like rlgrap-filename default   '/xxx/tmp/app/outbound/1~lcxxxx~ACTUAL~periodfyyear~RR.txt'.

p_ryear = p_ryear - 1.
concatenate 'FY' p_ryear into year.
concatenate 'OCT' '-' year into mnthyear separated by space.
replace 'periodfyyear' with mnthyear into p_o_file.
In the report output I am getting the file name correctly.
Output File: /dev/tmp/app/outbound/1~LC1000~ACTUAL~OCT - FY2013~RR.txt
When checked in AL11, it is showing me the below file name

my file name is truncated after space.
Can we create a file name with spaces? Awaiting your replies.
