Files from FTP server to Application server

Hi All,
I am new to SDN and SAP XI, can anyone tell me whether its possible to move the files (different strcuture files i.e. some are master data files and some are transaction data file) from FTP server to Application server with one interface. Actually the process is already established at clientsite for placing master data files like product, plant etc from FTP server to App server through FTP adapter. Now my requirement is to move transaction data file with completely different structure as master data to App server. If we place these trasaction data file in same folder/directory as master data files does SAP XI pick this file also. If not what are the steps I need to follow to achieve this. I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
Right now our process for master data files is SAP XI picks the files and deletes the file from FTP server folder. The master data file names are plant_attr.csv, product_attr.csv etc and transcation data file name is salestrasactiondata.csv. I need to move these files to application server on daily bases.
I appreciate your help .
Regards
Bob.

Hello Bob,
Yes it is possible.
There can be two ways of doing it.
1. N:1 mapping, BPM will require for this.
N:1 Mapping refer this blog
IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM
BpmPatterns CollectMerge
part1 BPM with Patterns explained Part-1
part2 BPM with Patterns explained Part-2
Second option
Create 3 scanarios in integration directory and correspondingly in integration repositoy create different data types, message types, mappings & interface mappings and then in each of scenario us different message interface and interface mapping.
> I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.

If you are using N:1 scenario then use *.csv in your sender adapter under file name parameter and then all the files will be picked up from same directory.
If you are using second option (3 different scenarios) then also you can pick the different files from same directory. You will be having 3 sender adapters in this case, So, one for picking master data, and another for product data and the last one for transaction data.
So, in case of master data use "plant_*.csv" as a file name and directory name.
In case of product data, use "product_*.csv " as a file name and source directory will remain same.
similarly do it for transaction data.
So by this way all 3 sender adapters will perform their job to pick the different files from same source directory.

Transfer file from UNIX to windows application server G:\ drive

Dear Expert,
Really need some help on this, very urgent !
The download program schedule in background to allow file store in unix.
Can we do a unix command in abap program to transfer the file from unix to windows application server G:\ drive.
The gateway for that application server is ukblmqg02.emea.astrazeneca.net .
Anyone have the sample source code ?
Thanks&regards

Hi,
1.
There is a FM 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT'.
If the requirement need not necessarily require a FM to transfer a file, then you can also use transaction 'CG3Y' to transfer a file
from application server to presentation server.
2.
Try to use FM DOCFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT. I am using it to download a file from SAP application server to desktop.
Source path should be application server file path along with file name i.e. /tmp/sample.xls.
Target path should be something like c:\file.xls.
Best regards,

How to store multiple files from SAp in to Application server?

Hi Guys,
             Can anybody tell me how to store multiple files from SAP into Application server.in my application i have to get the data from SAP tables BSEG , BKPF , BSAK and BSIK that to daily i have to do.
            Any Logic or Code for how to do is welcomed.
                    plz help me urgently.
Thanks,
Gopi

Hi,
directories creates basis. If you have task to store data in application server you already should have information into which folder you have to do it. If you don't have this information because it is just for example training for next task then you can use your personal folder into which you have access. To get list of all available folders please look at attached code and form get_directories (you get the list of folders you see in transaction AL11). But don't forget: If you are using open dataset you have to have rights to access application folder!
Here you are code which I use to upload text files from local disc into application folder

Download PDF File from Archiv to SAP Application Server

Hi,
I need to download the PDF file from an NAST-Dataset (how is stored from the message via SAP ArchivLink) to the SAP Application Server.
1) At first i read the Archiv-Link data via function module WFMC_GET_ARCHIVE_OBJECT_TYPE
2) Then i get the Connection-Infos via function module ARCHIV_GET_CONNECTIONS_INT
3) Now i read the file from archiv as table via function module ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_BYTES
4) Save to the SAP Appl.Server via:
   - OPEN DATASET ld_dpfad FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE
   - LOOP and TRANSFER lf_archivobject TO ld_dpfad.
   - CLOSE DATASET ld_dpfad.
In the dialog of NAST-Dataset (Messages) i can open the PDF-File without any errors (display originals). But after the filetransfer to the SAP Appl.Server i get the following errors during the file opening dialog from Adobe Acrobat Reader:
- the embedded font u201CArialu201D cant to be extract
- not enough data for the picture
The reader can display the PDF-File but only without the picture (Logo) and with alternative font.
The same transfer from archiv and sending as an attachement to the BOR-Object via function module SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1 works very fine and without any errors.
Can any one please help me to solve this Issue?
Thanks in Advance,
Thomas

Hello Keith,
Many thanks for your answer.
In the past i didnu2019t need the BINARCHIVOBJECT-Parameter and so i overlook this option.
Now, the File looks a little bit different, but only in the STREAM-section.
During the Fileopen-Dialog i get only one message now - "not enough data for image" and the image will not displayed. The rest seems to be correct.
The relevant coding is now:
ld_doc_typ = pf_connections-reserve.
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_BYTES'
    EXPORTING
      archiv_id                = pf_connections-archiv_id
      archiv_doc_id            = pf_connections-arc_doc_id
      document_type            = ld_doc_typ
      length                   = ld_length1
      offset                   = ld_offset
    IMPORTING
      binlength                = ld_length
      offset                   = ld_offset

      binarchivobject          = lt_binarchivobj
    EXCEPTIONS

How to send a file from FTP to external server

My requirement is to send a file from FTP to D3(External) server.
Now I am able to store the file in Appln server.
I want to send the file created by the program thru FTP to D3 server.
I know the username,Password,HostID,RFC destination details.
How to send the file from FTP to D3.
If u have any program,Plz send it...
I dont want the function modules name...I want the example code ....
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sumi,
You could do it so that you create a .bat or .cmd script to your server which does your ftp transfer.
To do this you must use sm69 to create a external operating system command which you can call from FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. To SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE you the file you need to transfer as a parameter.
What happens is that your abap program passes the file to windows batch script (.bat .cmd) which will then do the transfer for you.
Here's a sample of ftp-script for windows:
echo open IP_ADDRESS_TO_YOUR_SERVER > c:zftp_transfer.ftp
echo USERNAME>> c:zftp_transfer.ftp
echo PASSWORD>> c:zftp_transfer.ftp
echo put YOUR_FILE>> c:zftp_transfer.ftp
echo quit>> c:zftp_transfer.ftp
ftp -s:c:zftp_transfer.ftp
also take a look here for more details:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=96269
Ok, this might be a bit trivial but if your server is unix/aix etc.. Instead of using batch script you must do a shell script.

Ville

Hi all. I'm on devsuite 10g.
I transfer file from local machine to application server using webutil function webutil_file_transfer.client_to_as and I want to check if the file I'm transfering already exists on the server directory.
How can I make this?
Thanks all,

Download file from FTP Server to Application Server

Hi Friends,
Using the standard SAP Program RSFTP002, I was able to download the file to my local PC. But my requirement is to download the file from FTP to application server.
For RSFTP002, I am passing the username, password, host and in command 1 I am passing lcd :\temp, command 2 get filename. The file gets downloaded into c:\temp. If I do the same passing the app server path in command 1 as /usr/sap/tmp I get an error that pass cannot be found.
Anyone please help me how to donload the file from ftp to app server.
Thanks,
Deepthi

If I remember correctly the activation type on the technical settings tab must be set to "start on application server" in transaction SM59 for the RFC destination for the FTP server. This should allow the files to be transferred to/from the application server.
Regards,
Steve.

Get files from Content server to Application server

I want to Get few files from Content server to Application server, I have the required Archive ID. It is a HTTP Content server type. Can you please suggest the suitable method for this.

> I am new to SDN and SAP XI, can anyone tell me whether its possible to move the files (different strcuture files i.e. some are master data files and some are transaction data file) from FTP server to Application server with one interface.
Hello Bob,
Yes it is possible.
There can be two ways of doing it.
1. N:1 mapping, BPM will require for this.
N:1 Mapping refer this blog
IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM
BpmPatterns CollectMerge
part1 BPM with Patterns explained Part-1
part2 BPM with Patterns explained Part-2
Second option
Create 3 scanarios in integration directory and correspondingly in integration repositoy create different data types, message types, mappings & interface mappings and then in each of scenario us different message interface and interface mapping.
> I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
>
If you are using N:1 scenario then use *.csv in your sender adapter under file name parameter and then all the files will be picked up from same directory.
If you are using second option (3 different scenarios) then also you can pick the different files from same directory. You will be having 3 sender adapters in this case, So, one for picking master data, and another for product data and the last one for transaction data.
So, in case of master data use "plant_*.csv" as a file name and directory name.
In case of product data, use "product_*.csv " as a file name and source directory will remain same.
similarly do it for transaction data.
So by this way all 3 sender adapters will perform their job to pick the different files from same source directory.

Sarvesh

Upload files from FTP server

Hi Friends,
We are loading some files from FTP server into the BW (Datasource)
In the infopackage we have given the setting as 'Load from application server' and have given the file path as it is in application server. No routine has been created.
Files are successfully loading from FTP server to the BW datasource.
My question is:
In the infopackage we have only maintained that it should be loaded from application server and the file path.
But how the system(infopackage) gets to know that from which server(FTP) it should pick. Is there any table to maintain these entries. i.e when infopackage is scheduled it only pings the required server and picks the file with the help of given file path.But how does it know which server it should ping.
Pls help.
Thanks & Regards,
Niku

Hello Niku,
It seems in your case you have only one FTP, and the system is pointing by default to that FTP and picking the required files fro your Info Package.
Normally a Standard ABAP Program RSFTP002 is used to communicate to the FTP Server with the help of RFC . In the Same program you can maintain the credentials ( USerName and password) along with the Source and Destination related properties .
Back to your query , you can check the same in above program ( RSFTP002 ) through SE38 and cross verify your FTP .
Hope this helps !

How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table

but the data i get in LT_TEXT is special characters.

can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".
