How to validate a Particular Directory or file path in Presentation server.

Hi SAP gurus,
I am having a requirement where I want to download a file into the Presentation server.
The file path to download will be provided in a parameter.
What I want to do is to throw a message to the user if He/She provides a wrong Directory or File path.
For example :
Say the user is providing the file download path as " E:\test.txt", but there is no "E" drive or such directory in the presentation. So in this case I should be able to check the wrong Directory provided by the user and throw some message to the user saying there is no such Directory present. Please give a proper directory or similar messages.
I have found a FM: PFL_CHECK_DIRECTORY but i am not able to use it properly.
So do you have any FM or any method and its explanation to fulfill my requirement .

Do it this way:
tables:
spfli.
parameters:
p_file type rlgrap-filename          " File name
                   obligatory.
Data:
t_final_data like table of spfli.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.
call function 'F4_FILENAME'
   exporting
     program_name        = syst-cprog
     dynpro_number       = syst-dynnr
     field_name          = ' '
   importing
     file_name           = p_file.
at selection-screen.
data:
    lw_file type string.              " File Path
lw_file = p_file.
select * from spfli into table t_final_data.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
   EXPORTING
     filename                        = lw_file
   tables
     data_tab                        = t_final_data.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

Why can I not open files saved on a server?

Why can I not open files saved on a server?

I think I figured it out. I set the compatibility mode to Windows Server 2008 (which is the OS on the server we are using) and it opened just fine. Whoop Whoop. Thanks for your help.

"Bad data format" when reading txt file from the presentation server

Hello,
I have a piece of code which reads a txt file from the presentation server to an internal table like below:
DATA : lv_filename type string.
lv_filename = 'C:\abap\Test.txt'. "I created a folder called abap under C:\
CALL method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD
EXPORTING
   FILENAME              = lv_filename
CHANGING
   DATA_TAB            = lt_tsd. " lt_tab has the exact same fields as the Test.txt's. Test.txt has only one line, tab delimited.
When running this code, exception BAD_DATA_FORMAT is issued.
Is it because of the file encoding or delimiter or other reason?
Thanks,

Hello,
If its tab delimited then use the has_field_seperator parameter and check
DATA : lv_filename type string.
lv_filename = 'C:\abap\Test.txt'. "I created a folder called abap under C:\

Reading file from the presentation server in the background

Hi,
I am trying to read a .csv file from the presentation server into an internal table in the background. what should I do for it? In the foreground it works fine.
I have declared a selection parameter 'p_file' that has the path of the file. It wokrs fine in the foreground and how to set it up in the background?
Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance,
VG

hii
did you achieved the required functionality , i,e, accessing presentation server file i nbackground .
I too got the same requirement, can you explain the process.
There is no way you can do it... The best method is to put the file on Appln server and then call it in the background mode.

Vishwa.

File download to presentation server in BACKGROUND

Hello,
i'm trying to download a simple list to the presentation server, but in a background process (part of an update rule for an infopackage). I´ve tried WS_Download and CALL METHOD o->gui_download etc but the job cancels with them since they seem only to run in frontend. Does anyone know of a more suitable function module?

Hello,
For processing XMLs always try to make use of the class CL_XML_DOCUMENT.
You can download the XML stream to a local file using the method of EXPORT_TO_FILE class CL_XML_DOCUMENT.

How do I upload only a few lines of a file from the presentation server?

Hi there guys,
I'd like to upload the contents of a file on my HD (presentation server) to an internal table. I know this can be achieved by using the GUI_UPLOAD function module. But what if I only want to upload a part of the file, not the whole thing? Like the first 100 bytes or 10 lines or something like that. Some files are just way too big to upload them as a whole. I tried using the OPEN DATASET statement, but that seems to work only for files on the application server. If I try to open 'C: emp est.txt' (for example) with OPEN DATASET, I get an error. Do I have to put the filename differently or am I totally wrong with OPEN DATASET? I'm kinda stuck here and I'd appreciate your help.
Cheers,
Björn.

Hi Shashi,
thanks for your reply. If I understand you correctly, this means I will have to wait for GUI_UPLOAD to upload the whole file and afterwards filter into another table. I don't want to upload the whole thing because it's that big, I'd like to only upload a portion of it in the first place. Can this be done?
Cheers,
Björn.

Files saved to network server sometimes get deleted

Hello,
I work as a graphic designer using a year old iMac and latest version of Photoshop CS5.
Every now and then when saving a .psd file with photoshop it will get deleted instead. As an example, lets say I'm working on a brochure cover image. I open photoshop, open the file and work couple of hours on it. Then I save it. File gets deleted and is now no where to be found. Assuming no backups it's lost for good.
Naturally I use backups so this usually only means I've at most lost a days worth of work, but it's still highly irritating as you can get quite a bit done during one day.
What I've figured out so far:
1) Only .psd files get deleted and only by photoshop. Illustrator, Premiere, Indesign are unaffected.
2) Only files that are being saved on network (Buffalo) drive get deleted. Files saved on my macs hard disk have not gone lost so far.
3) It seems that when I use "Save As" the files save correctly. Only when using "Save" do they get deleted.
4) File getting deleted does not happen every time. But it does happen around 20-30% of the time when saving.
My current solution is to keep file browser open at all times. And every time I save file with Photoshop I check it's still there. If it's been deleted I will save it again with new name. As long as it's still open in Photoshop I can still save it.
Due to my work place, saving on the Buffalo is currently the only realistic solution. I realise this is not a Photoshop only problem. It has a lot to do with the network drive as well. How ever as Photoshop is the only program affected it seemed like a good idea to post it here as well. We've been in contact with Buffalo and they deny any knowledge about this problem, so we've hit a brickwall there anyway.
Has anyone else run into this or similar problem? Any suggestions besides taking more backups?

2) Only files that are being saved on network (Buffalo) drive get deleted.
There you have it – Adobe’s position with regard to Photoshop is: »Adobe Systems does not provide support for networks and removable media.«
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/902/cpsid_90279.html
In case you are interested there are threads on this, for example
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4016082#4016082
One workaround might be to always do Save As’ as you claim those work; this could be automated with a Script for example.

Run BW query from R/3, need output file saved on application server

Hello all,
We are currently working on BI 7.0. Is there a way where we can run a BW query from R/3 by some program or tcode? We need to run the BW query and use the output of that query as an input to some other custom program in R/3.
If we can save the output file on application server than the R/3 program will pick up that file from there.
Is there any standard delivered functionality that will allow us to do that or how can we achieve this.
Can some help help with some suggestions or links?
Thanks in advance.

Its is unable to upload file from network drive, it works successfully when the same file is uploaded from application server.
I have worked in other LSMW projects and have successfully loaded files from network drive.
Please let me know what configuration setup is required, is it the content server or the gateway server?
Thanks for all your help.

Upload to file in the presentation server

Hi Guyz,
I got a report, which would download output into a .txt file using function module "download", but one field is not getting downloaded into that.
how to check that? plz let me know..
thanks a lot..
venu.

I guess its the last field in your structure you didn´t get. Right ? Then maybe you exceeded a hardcoded length of about 1000 or 1200 bytes in the FM.
Hope that helps.
