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:// ".
Cheers

Want to know the file path for application server in upload program
Iam doing upload program(i,e)uploading from application server,iam getting run time error while executing the following piece of code
"OPEN DATASET '/usr/sap/SPE/DVEBMGS00/work/ZPSPAR35_PERS_UP.txt' FOR OUTPUT
IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT."
if the above code is wrong can u mention the correct one.hi,
<b>Note: 699267</b>
<b>Symptom</b>
a) When downloading to the application server a short dump occurs with the error 'UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE'.
b) When downloading to a presentation server from an SAP system running on Unicode, only half the data is actually transferred to the downloaded file.
or
*)When downloading from an SAP system running on an application server with an EBCDIC-type code page, an incorrect code '0A' is written for the LINE FEED character
<b>
Pre-requisite</b>
a) The output file is opened 'in text mode' which does not allow to write non-character-like structures to the file via the TRANSFER command.
b) The file is downloaded in the internal representation which uses two bytes per character in a Unicode system. The number of bytes to download is determined from the number of characters in the SAP system, however.
or
*)The code of the LINE FEED character is incorrectly programmed.
<b>
Solution:</b>
You need to put some support packs attached with this note. For that you definitely need to ask YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE AN S-USER id at your WORK PLACE.
<b>Note: 879598</b>
<b>Reason and Prerequisites</b>
The file is downloaded in the internal representation which uses two bytes per character in a Unicode system. The number of bytes to download is determined from the number of characters in the SAP system. Hence when the download happens the data has to be converted to the required format.
<b>Solution</b>
Apply the corresponding support package or manually implement the changes described in the correction instructions.
Hope this helps.
Regards
ak.

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. -
Convert file path in application server as link
How can we convert file path in application server as link to send email.
Thanks
SureshYour app server folders have a mappable location on your network, e.g,
server\path\filename. Use an HTML anchor tag and build the link with code. You'd be better off storing files on a file server (write to a mapped location from the app server) and link to there (same process). -
Changing File path for different TIFF files in a For loop
Hi dear users:
I am using "IMAQ write TIFF File.vi" that basically writes a TIFF file to a specified file path. However, I would like to CHANGE the file path for each TIFF file i save in a for loop. The reason for this is that the File path has to include the file name and I do not want to write over the same file name all the time in a for loop. What I would like to have are sequential TIFF images. So if the file name would be "Image", I would like the result to be Image0, Image1, Image2 and so forth when I run my For loop. Can anyone help me with this?
ThanksUse the "Format Into String" and the "Build Path" functions:

Looking for file in the application server.
Hello expert,
I want to download a file from SAP application server, but when I get into file system for application server by AL11 , I can't find out the folder for my file, why? is that authority issue or I did the wrong way to get into the system? appreciate very much for your help.
Many Thanks,Hi,
At AL11, if you have the proper authorizations, you should see a Configure button. After that, enter:
- Directory Name:
server-name\directory
- Param. Name: Z_<directory>
- ServerName: all
Then, click on Save.
Take into account that SAPServiceSID user should have read access to the share.

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
NicoleHi,
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
