Finding 'things' dynamically from within a program

Hi all,
I have the following 'problem': I'm writing a program that should find a particular folder in SAP Office. I want the program to find this folder as dynamically as possible: so I certainly don't want to use the folder-id hard-coded (besides: I'm writing this program on a development system, and on the prod.system the folder doesn't exist yet). I don't want either to specify a folder-name in my program, because the customer should be able to change that name if he/she likes it, and the program should continue to work correctly, finding the renamed folder (or for that matter, a whole new folder, if the customer wants that) if this (renaming) happens.
So what I'm looking for is a place (in the system) for the customer to indicate the name of the folder to be found by the program, a place that can be found by the program to read this name (and then find the folder with that name).
Of course this can be solved by a customer table (with application data, not a customizing table!) with name-value pairs in it. In that case I can use a name (= logical label) hard-coded in the program and read the associated value (in this case the name of the folder to be found) from that table.
But I don't want to use customertables if it can be done without them, in order not to pollute the system more than necessary.
So, my question is: can this be done without using a table in the customer-namespace? Does SAP offer such a thing?
Of course the SAP Office folder is only an example.
I know they do have something for file names (and paths): it's hidden in the customizing somewhere under SAP Web Application Server. There you can connect logical names to 'real' paths/filenames, which makes it very flexible: in your programs you only need to use the logical name, and on each server you can fill in the actual path on that machine, and your program works everywhere.
But in general???
Thanks for any idea's on this subject.
Regards Fred

Creating a Step for Background Job from within ABAP Program

Step-1: I have a Report in ECC, which is scheduled as Background Job, which writes the file to the Application Server(UNIX)
Step-2: Trigger a Unix Command to ftp the file to other server.
Both Step-1 & Step-2 can be done from SM36.
Another Scenario:
Users can run the report in background from SE38 or using the transaction code for the report, In this case we want to call the external command.
Instead of calling the External Command as below in the report, I want to create a Step from within the program when it is scheduled in background mode.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lc_unixcom. [ Here lc_unixcom has the External Command ].
Any ideas??? Appreciate help.

Hi,
For submitting a report step, you may use either SUBMIT ... VIA JOB ... or JOB_SUBMIT function module.
For external commands, this should be done only by calling JOB_SUBMIT function module.

IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

Compiling a file from within a program

I was hoping to write a teching JSP which a user would type in a simple java program and I would read this in to a file and run the program and to check the output to see if it is correct, but I don't know how you would compile and run the read in file. Is there some method that can write a kind of java shell command ?
Thanks.

TextPad does just that. For example if the program compiled successfully they create batch files and you can run the prog. from within the TextPad.
Batch file for running looks like this:
@ECHO OFF
C:
CD \dir1\dir2\AppName
C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\java.exe AppName
PAUSE
file AppName.BAT

Running ssh from within java program

Hi!
I am trying to start ssh from within java e.g.:
Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pro = run.exec("ssh -l xx 12.12.12.12");
But it complains:
socket: Operation not permitted
ssh: connect to host 12.12.12.12 port 22: Operation not permitted
Running ssh from the command prompt works just fine. It's run on win xp.
What is the problem, and how can I avoid it?

Afraid not. I think maybe it's related to security permissions, but I am really not sure. If you can help, I would appreciate it.

-Xms64 from within the program

Can I set -Xms64 within the program, i.e. main method, instead of it being a command line option? Same applies to some the other JVM options.

No because the heap requires contiguous memory

How can I call a java class from within my program?

I was wondering if there's a platform independent way to call a java class from my program.

Here's my scenario. I'm working on a platform independent, feature rich, object-oriented command prompt program. The way I'm designing it is that users can drop classes they write into my bin directory and gain access to the class through my program. For example, they drop a class named Network.class in the bin directory. They would type Network network at my command prompt and gain access to all the methods available in that class. They can then type system.echo network.ipaddress() at my prompt and get the system's ip address. I have it designed that there's a server running in the background and the clients connect to my port. Once connected the end-user can enter their user name and password and gain access to the system. When they type a command they actually call another java program which connects to my server using a seperate thread. They can then communicate back and forth. I have it set that everything has a process id and it's used to keep track of who called what program. Once the program is done it disconnects and closes. Rather than getting into the nitty gritty (I didn't want to get into heavy detail, I know how everything will work) I'm really interested in finding out how I can call a java program from my program. I don't want it to be part of the app in any way.

Passing data to se16 from within abap program

Hi,
I have an internal table itab defined as three fields (e.g., fld1(10) type c) and would like to pass the data from fld1 row 3 to the se16 textbox and then have se16 process to find the table.
I used "call transaction 'SE16'." to initiate, but I do not know how to pass the field value to the textbox and then have it process the field value to find the table. Can anyone advise?
thanks!

I believe that this is what you want.

                                '=ANZE'.
perform bdc_field       using 'DATABROWSE-TABLENAME'
                       'MARA'.
call transaction 'SE16' using bdcdata
                                mode 'E'.
*        Start new screen                                              *
form bdc_dynpro using program dynpro.
clear bdcdata.
bdcdata-program = program.
bdcdata-dynpro   = dynpro.
bdcdata-dynbegin = 'X'.
append bdcdata.
endform.
*        Insert field                                                  *
form bdc_field using fnam fval.
clear bdcdata.
bdcdata-fnam = fnam.
bdcdata-fval = fval.
append bdcdata.
endform.

Sending an email from within a program

Hi,
I am using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send an email from a program. Everything works fine, but the users don't want to see the popup message titled 'SAPconnect Send Process - List of Sent Objects'.
Is there anyway I can supress this message from the program, or is it a setting in SAPconnect?
Thanks

Kiran,
How did you convert/cast the CpContext into an AppsContext to supply to createRootAM?
Would you maybe share some more code?
Update
No need for that, a simple
public void runProgram( CpContext ctx )
String amName;
String methodName;
OAApplicationModuleFactory amF = new OAApplicationModuleFactory();
OAApplicationModule am = amF.createRootOAApplicationModule( ctx, amName );
am.invokeMethod( methodName );
will do...

Does iPhoto 09 allow you to find a photo from outside the program?

I quit using iphoto with 08 since I can't access the photos from my Adobe applications. I'm using Bridge right now, but there are some features I prefer in iphoto. However, I use these photos in publications and have to export them to another place in order to use them. Has this changed in the 09 version? I'd like to know before I spend the money on the update....

Well since you always had full access to your photos it has not changed - it also has not changed that the iPhoto library is a UNIX style package and it has not changed that you need to access your photos correctly - Click here for a discussion on accessing your photo in iPhoto '08 and '09
Exporting them is one way - but certainly not the only way

Running programs from within other programs

I have a problem with running small java-applications form within another.
If I put the BufferedReader for errors first, sometimes it gets stuck
(without throwing any exceptions) when I want to run applications that
are working without any errors, when I run them manually. But if I put
the standardoutput-Reader first, it gets stuck (again without throwing
any exceptions), when an error occurs. This "getting stuck" always happens
in the line where the "while" is. It seems that nothing can be read, but its
not null too.
Thats part of my code:
String cmd = "java -cp rightDirectory MyFile";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(cmd);
BufferedReader pout = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getErrorStream()));
String line2;
while ((line2 = pout.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line2);
pout.close();
BufferedReader peout = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = peout.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
peout.close();
How can this be done, that it works for all cases?
