Its is better you write the code in the batch file (.bat) and call the batch file at runtime rather than using .exe file

Hi All,
I am trying to copy a file from another application server to BW application server.Below are the steps that I followed:
1. Created a Batch file and placed it on the BW application server.Below is the contents of the flat file:
xcopy
MDHCLST01\mdhreports\lossreports\20080522_Comp.*
WSAGLDWIVM76.aglcloud1.int\OUTPUT-SCS\
2. I have created a command in sm49 to execute this batch file
3. When i am trying to execute this command in sm49 it is giving me following error:
E:\usr\sap\BSP\DVEBMGS30\work>xcopy
MDHCLST01\mdhreports\lossreports\20080522_Comp.*
WSAGLDWIVM76.aglcloud1.int\OUTPUT-SCS\ Invalid drive specification 0 File(s) opied External program terminated with exit code 4
When I executed this Batch file directly from application server it is copying the files but when I am executing the file in SM49
it is giving me error.Please suggest me in this regard.

Execute external java command line in Java

But I can not get any result ( It does not create file test.svg) . the code is as follow
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar c:/XSLT/saxon7.jar ../webapps/wfscontroller/gml.xml ../webapps/wfscontroller/SVG.xsl > ../webapps/wfscontroller/test.svg");
If I execute "java -jar c:/XSLT/saxon7.jar ../webapps/wfscontroller/gml.xml ../webapps/wfscontroller/SVG.xsl > ../webapps/wfscontroller/test.svg" in DOS command. it works.
Anybody knows what happened?
Many thanks in advance.

The > is interpreted by the shell. When you use Runtime.exec, you don't go through the shell, you exec the executable directory. So when you exec that command, you're passing ">" as an argument to "java -jar c:/...", and chances are the main() method in that doesn't interpret ">".
So the upshot is you can't use ">", "|", "<", etc., that you can in a shell, with Runtime.exec().
Other options are to run a batch file which invokes that command line.
Or, you can get the standard output from the exec'ed process, and save it to a new file yourself.

Re: Error while Execute External Operating System Command using T.code SM49

Dear Experts,
I Have uploaded one .exe file in the application server (eg: sum.exe) and created the OS command in SM69 transaction .
And maintained the application server path in the 'operating system command' field in SM69 t.code.
Our SAP system, oprating system is UNIX.
After I have executed the external command using transaction SM49 , but I got the below error.
Can not execute external program (permission denied) , External program terminated with exit code 1
Immediately I run the SU53 transaction code to check the authorization, but Authorization was successful.
Could any one please help on this error.
Thanks in advance.

>>Can not execute external program (permission denied) , External program terminated with exit code 1
You need to give the permission as 755 to your file.
>>I Have uploaded one .exe file in the application server (eg: sum.exe)
You are on UNIX and do not expect to any result of .exe file as UNIX doesn't know about this.

Executing external command and program in background

Hi,
how to execute external command and external program in background.
please provide me some tips on the same.
while creating external command, what is the significance of "operating system command" and "parameters for operating system command".
Thanks,
Dinesh.

Hi,
You can define external commands using transaction code SM69.
External commands are commands which would be executed at your operating
system with or without parameters.
Operating system commands are those which you execute at OS level like
mkdir, cat, rm, cp, ls
Parameters are options that you add to os commands to get more functionalities.
like, < ls -l > : will give you a long listing of files where " l " is the parameter
< ls -lt > : will give you a long listing with last changed file at top where " lt " is the parameter.
You can mention these in SM69 when you define the external commands.
Now, in order to execute these in your background job. In the steps click on "external command" and give your command name in SM36 while creating your job.
" Points for solution ".
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

Error1006 when executing external command mv ...

This error concerns one of the several daily batch most critical. It was not detected before because even if there is an error the program won't never fail (we will review for sure this program).
The error appears at the call of an external command ZRENAME that corresponds to the OS command "mv" to rename a physical file on directory /interface.
This error seems corresponds to a timeout when the SAP system tries to call the mv command on the OS level ...

manually at command line the program getting registerd but
not throuergh RFC_REMOTE_EXEC
in v_cmnd what is the exact value we have to give

you create the command in SM69 with some name and Directly give the Same name when you are executing.
Check this Function also.
SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

How can I execute external application?

Hi friends I want printing my barcodes a laser printer (Kyocera) it isn't a barcode printer. So I think (and I look kyocera web page my model doesn't support barcode printing in sap) print my barcodes using an external system. Before SAP we are using JollyPrint application for printing barcodes. It is using an Excel file.
I can create a excel file for this application. I must execute this (JollyPrint-it is a label application) application when I press a button. How can I execute this application?
Thanks
Mehmet
P.S. I have been writing this message with details may be somebody can give me a simple way for this

Well, I can suggest you following steps. May be it works for you .
-Create an external OS command in SM69
-Test OS command in SM49 ( about OS command if you search in SDN youll get lot of material )
-Create a Script at your OS level, Im assuming you might have some UNIX flavor or Sun solarias.
-Create a Shell script , which execute the printer job from OS .
-Shell script will have parameters . ( e.g. printer name, destination etc )
-set the path of shell script directory in SM69 ( the command you just created )
-Execute shell script using your ABAP program ( use FM "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE" )
In the ABAP program you can pass the parameters and execute the command from ABAP as a result your job will start printing on the required destination. Moreover, you can also capture the spool at OS level .
FYI
For UNIX script, if you search in www.google.com ( UNIX forums) . youll get shell script .
Hope thisll give you idea!!
P.S award the points.
Good luck
Thanks

External OS Command SM49

Hi All,
Is it possible to run External OS Command created in Tcode SM49 by File Adapter.
We are running SAP PI IBM OS i5 and need to call RPG program from File Adapter, if i create custom OS command in SM49 and able to execute the same command from File adapter then my problem has been fix.
In out BI environment we are doing the same but i never use it PI.
With Regards
Sunil

Sunil,
You mentioned if i create custom OS command in SM49 and able to execute the same command from File adapter:
I dont see any difference in calling this script from the file adapter. Put all the commands in the script and you can call the script directly from the file adapter. What ever you can achieve from sm49 you can achieve the same from file adapter also. I didnot work this practically, but I dont see you should run into any issues.

---Satish
