Exec a "MV" (move) Linux command from ABAP program using wildcard "*"

Hi,
I have a problem by using FM "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE", SM49 while i try to move the whole content of a SAP folder into another.
Foders are on the same file system:
source: /tmp/
dest:   /usr/sap/tmp
I made a command in SM69 named ZMOVE:
I put OS: Linux (is case sensitive)
        command: "mv"
        parameters: /tmp/* /usr/sap/tmp
hence the final sentence should be "mv /tmp/* /usr/sap/tmp". I did it directly by using program "rsbdcos0" and works fine.
Now if I try to execute the command ZMOVE from SM49 or using the function module it gives the same error
*mv: cannot stat /tmp/ ': No such file or directory**
I made several tries by changing the parameter section (also using a script on the same directory).
The permissions are ok, so the only problem seems to be the wildcard (*) character.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Fabrizio

Problem solved.
Forget function modules, SM69 etc. there's an ABAP command in order to perform a SO command.
Here an example:
data: lf_file like rlgrap-filename,
      lf_idx(3) type n,
      cmd(254),
      result(255) occurs 100 with header line.
cmd = 'mv /dir_source/* /dir_dest'.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field cmd
                id 'TAB'     field result-sys.

How to execute Linux command from Java app.

Hi all,
Could anyone show me how to execute Linux command from Java app. For example, I have the need to execute the "ls" command from my Java app (which is running on the Linux machine), how should I write the codes?
Thanks a lot,

You can use "built-in" shell commands, you just need to invoke the shell and tell it to run the command. See the -c switch in the man page for your shell. But, "ls" isn't built-in anyays.
If you use exec, you will want to set the directory with the dir argument to exec, or add it to the command or cmdarray. See the API for the variants of java.lang.Runtime.exec(). (If you're invoking it repeatedly, you can most likely modify a cmdarray more efficiently than having exec() decompose your command).
You will also definitely want to save the returned Process and read the output from it (possibly stderr too and get an exit status). See API for java.lang.Process. Here's an example
java.io.BufferedReader br =
new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("/sbin/ifconfig ppp0").
getInputStream()));
while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {...

}Help please.

Your code is probably good to run a program, that does not use terminal capabilities.
Program "top" is a little bit more complicated - you have to run it with a real terminal.
Try to run "xterm -e top". You can find an example how to run an external program
from java code in cnd/gdb module on http://cnd.netbeans.org
For example, take a look at openExternalProgramIOWindow() method on this page:
http://cnd.netbeans.org/source/browse/cnd/gdb/src/org/netbeans/modules/cnd/debugger/gdb/proxy/Attic/GdbProxyCL.java?rev=1.1.2.6.2.5&only_with_tag=release551_fixes&view=markup
It runs a command with external terminal.
Thanks,

Sending down Linux commands from database

Hello
Im working with Oracle 10.2.0.4.3 on Linux SuSE FUSE Version 2.3.0-RC0-SL0/SLES-9.
Im currently doing an extract of BLOB files down to a directory on the server.
When I do the extract the Oracle user becomes the owner of the files and my own user doesn't have the access (neither read or write) to the files.
I cannot receive Oracle access due a security issue so Im wondering if its possible to send down a command from the database that does a
$chmod a+rw my_directory/*.* ?
Iv looked into the some forums and I didnt find anything in particulate that would help me, so Im wondering if any of you know if this is possible ?
BR / SA

Hello
Thank you for your advice but the question was to send down Linux commands from the DB, not do anything in the Linux enviroment.
Here is a good place to start that I found on the net.
public class JShellCommand {
public static int execute(String cmd) {
try
String[] shellCmd = { "/bin/sh", "-c", cmd };
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(shellCmd);
int exitVal = process.waitFor();
return (exitVal);
catch (Exception e)
return 1;
load it into db with loadjava and wrap it with:
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION Shell_Command(
p_CMD IN VARCHAR2
RETURN NUMBER
AS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'JShellCommand.execute(java.lang.String) return int';
For OS command you can use:
public class JCommand {
public static int execute(String cmd) {
try
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
int exitVal = process.waitFor();
return (exitVal);
catch (Exception e)
return 1;
and
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION OS_Command(
p_Cmd IN VARCHAR2
RETURN NUMBER
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'JCommand.execute(java.lang.String) return int';

For more information, please see SXPG_DUMMY_COMMAND_CHECK: Interface for Extra-Check Function Modules.
TOO_MANY_PARAMETERS
The command definition specifies that user-specified arguments for the external command are not allowed. However, an additional string of command arguments was specified.
PARAMETER_EXPECTED
The command definition includes the placeholder character ?, which signifies that additional user-defined arguments are required. However, no additional arguments string was supplied.
PROGRAM_START_ERROR
An error occurred while starting the external command. The R/3 system field SY-MSGV1 contains additional information on the problem.
PROGRAM_TERMINATION_
ERROR
An error occurred while trying to obtain the return code of the external program. The R/3 system field SY-MSGV1 contains additional information on the problem.
ILLEGAL_COMMAND
The external command definition was modified "illegally". That is, the command was not modified by means of the maintenance function (transaction SM69).
The modified command is registered in the system log in its substituted form. The message is registered under the system log ID "LC".
OTHERS
Catch any new exceptions added to this function module.
Hope this will be useful.

Procedure to Call Workflow Object from ABAP program in Se38

Hi All,
I have one scenario like i have to call one Workflow object from ABAP program in SE38.The scenario is like below.....
I have to select some records from database table.For example there are 100 records in the internal table.
For all that records i have to invoke Workflow for getting approval from the authorized persons. Once Approval has come to program, It will post one document in SAP and process ends.
Please suggest me how to move forward with this scenario.
Regards
Manas Ranjan Panda

Hi,
So you want to start a workflow from an ABAP, if an event exists for that particular workflow then the best way is to use fm SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT,
to start a workflow from an ABAP you can use fm SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Calling oracle procedure from ABAP program

There is a requirement to call the oracle stored procedure with some input parameter from ABAP program.
Suppose we have order number which is entered by the user in ABAP program.
This order number needs to be passed to oracle stored procedure as an input parameter in the same ABAP program.
We can call the oracle stored procedure without parameter using the following syntax
exec sql
execute procedure <procedure name>
end exec.
But do not know how to execute the oracle stored procedure with some input parameter?

Apologies , following is the correct code.
This will definetly solve your problem.
DATA scarr_carrid TYPE scarr-carrid.
SELECT-OPTIONS s_carrid FOR scarr_carrid NO INTERVALS.
DATA s_carrid_wa LIKE LINE OF s_carrid.
DATA name TYPE c LENGTH 20.

               WHERE mandt = '000' AND
                     carrid = input;
        RETURN output;
        END FUNCTION;
    ENDEXEC.
    LOOP AT s_carrid INTO s_carrid_wa
                     WHERE sign = 'I' AND option = 'EQ'.
      TRY.
         EXEC SQL.
            EXECUTE PROCEDURE selfunc( IN :s_carrid_wa-low,
                                       OUT :name )

Is it possible to call ms-dos command in abap program?

Hi,
is it possible to call ms-dos command in abap program?
Thanks.

Hi Cemil,
You probably have your answer here:
[Re: DOS/Windows command in app server;
You create your external command with SM69 (you can test it with SM49).
Then you call this command with function module "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE".
(See function group SXPT for all the calls to external commands).

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

Call workflow from ABAP program

created a zbusiness object (ZPRODH)with
one key field product hierarchy,
one attribute level number and
one method display.
I tested that zobject and using this object created workflow to display product hierarchy ,it is displaying it. now I have to call it from one abap program.
In the abap program I am calling the funcion module, I
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE'
EXPORTING
TASK = TASK
IMPORTING
WI_ID = WI_ID
TABLES
AGENTS = AGENTS
WI_CONTAINER = WI_CONTAINER.
It is calling the workflow and subrc is 0, but not passing the value to the workflow. Because of that the method is not working, any idea?
Thanks in advance
