How best store files on application server: Tables vs File system

Hi Experts,
We want to let users to upload files to application server. The number of files can potencially grow over time (1000 files every month) though I whould like to limit size of each file not more than 1-2 MB.
Also files should be classified (having custom attributes) so later on we need to search, select files according to attributes.
So what are the best options in long run (for performance, reliability etc)?
We have NW system 7.0 with MaxDB
I can think of the following options:
1. Store files in TRANSPARENT table in RAWSTRING. Easiest variant (to select files etc) Here I have concerns how this table and database behave after some period of time and what will happen if size will grow to let say 50 GB. Will it work? What are normal size limits for transparent tables?
2. Store files in CLUSTER table in RAWSTRING. Less convenient to work with (joins are not allowed etc). Will cluster table help to handle big size of table? What are practical size limits for cluster tables?
3. Store files on file system (on application server) and write info (attributes etc) into ztable. Select from ztable and read content file from file system (dataset commands?). So files will be written to one directory just one after another.
What are the best option to follow? I would personally prefer option 1 as easiest but have servious concerns regarding size of one transparent table.
What do you recommend?
Regards,
Dmitry.

Hi,
I too feel that option 1 would be best choice.
For your ref: Check the Transp.table REPOSRC and the field name DATA
Also Check the technical settings (Size category).

Transfer file in application server to another file

Hello guys I have another major hurdle I am encountering for a little task I am doing.
I need to send a downloaded file within the SAP application server to another file automatically using ABAP via Background Processing(most preferable a directory in the newtwork).
What I need to do is, after saving a list from an abap report and saves in the application server (which I have already done), I need it to transport to a the web server. All done in background.
I really appreciate the help you guys have given to me thus far. Thank you guys and take care.

Hi
U have to use unix command for same
i have seen some function module just check it out
SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM you can check the user's authorization for the specified command and run the command. The command runs on the host system on which the function module is executed. The function module is RFC capable. It can therefore be run on the host system at which a user happens to be active or on another designated host system at which an R/3 server is active.
SXPG_COMMAND_CHECK Check whether the user is authorized to execute the specified command on the target host system with the specified arguments.
SXPG_COMMAND_DEFINITION_GET Read the definition of a single external OS command from the R/3 System's database.

SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE Check a user's authorization to use a command, as in SXPG_COMMAND_CHECK. If the authorization check is successful, then execute the command on the target host system.
SXPG_COMMAND_LIST_GET Select a list of external OS command definitions.
RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL Read a directory on the Application Server
SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST Return table with file list for the given directory (pattern allowed)

Hi friend,
Simply use GUI_UPLOAD function to get data from excel, txt etc.., into internal table in program.
Try this program.. It performs downloading and uploading functions in both excel and .txt format.

Urgent : Download file from Application Server via Process Chain.

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to download the file from Application Server to local work station using an ABAP Program .
I want including the above ABAP program in a process chain to execute the program daily,
I tried to use ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT and GUI_DOWNLOAD but unfortunately both the above FM doesn't support to run through Process chain.
Can any one of you help me to send the code which selects a file from application server, downloads to local system and deletes it.
Thank you very much for spending your precious time in this regard.

Hi Sailekha,
Regarding your case ..
I suggest you to create the program where it run this function: WS_DOWNLOAD.
After it, the program is run by your process chain.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.

How to store file in Application server.

I have done a report where using excel sheet data i hv to insert in ztable. I have done it i hav converted excel sheet data into internal table and then inserted into ztable. It is working properly. using p_file like rlgraph-filename i have taken the parameter and function module filename_f4 uploaed file.
Now i when i am runing the report it is inserting properly in foreground. But i have requirement that i have to run the report in background but it is giving error in background. So what i do is the excel sheet which i take as input should be stored in Application server and then i have to pick up the file from application server during the background process. So any body can tell me how to write the program to store file in application server and pickup that file again to run it in background.

hi experts,
We have written start routine to get the storage location text and sending to File located at Application server through OPEN HUB.
here is the code written in the Transformations
In the global section
Text for 0STOR_LOC
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /bi0/tstor_loc
          WITH UNIQUE KEY stor_loc.
    DATA: l_0stor_loc_text_wa TYPE /bi0/tstor_loc.
and in the code to get the text
" Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
    *SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC*
      into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
              STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
im sure there is problem with the Routine only. i think i need to change the code if so please provide me the modified one.

XML data into Oracle Tables. XML file on Application Server.Oracle Apps R12

Hi All,
My Database version : 11.2.0.2.0
I have an XML file which needs to be loaded into the Database Tables. How ever i do not want to use the XMLTYPE as given below
insert into test1 (
SELECT PrcDate, PmtType, PmtStatus, PmtTypeCount, PmtTypeAmt
FROM XMLTABLE(
'/WFPaymentAck/RejectedDom1ACH'
PASSING XMLTYPE( BFILENAME('ECX_UTL_LOG_DIR_OBJ','wf_test_xml.XML'), NLS_CHARSET_ID('UTF8') )
COLUMNS
PrcDate VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PrcDate' ,
PmtType VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PmtType' ,
PmtStatus VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@PmtStatus' ,
PmtTypeCount VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeCount' ,
PmtTypeAmt VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeAmt'
Because this way the XML file needs to reside on the DB server.
I am looking into other option of loading the XML file into a CLOB column of a table and reading it from that column.
I did a couple of tests and feel that this way also the XML file has to reside on the Database Server itself. I am not sure if this is correct or if there is any problem with our TEST instance.
++Can anyone let me know if i need to have the XML file on the DB server instead of the Application server to load into a CLOB column of table ??++
++Or++
++Is there any other workaround for me to load XML into Oracle Tables, while having the XML file on Application Server.++
Your immediate help is appreciated. I need to get past this ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.
VJ

1) Are you asking me to create a folder on Database directory which points to a folder on the Apps server ?I suggest creating an Oracle directory object (a database object) pointing to a real location (folder) on Application server.
we DONOT want a hand shake between the DB Server and the APPS server.I don't see where the problem is.
I'm not familiar with Apps R12 but there's no doubt the two servers are already communicating, at least App server should be able to access the DB for the whole thing to run.
As I said :
One way or another, the data has to make its way to the database, there's no workaround to that.How do you imagine the data will end up in a database table if it doesn't come to the DB server?
There's no magical method out there, both servers have to communicate at some point.
About client-server approaches (client being here the App server), you can read about accessing the XML DB repository in the XML DB Developer's Guide : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/toc.htm
Other option : SQL*Loader can load a CLOB, or an XMLType column too
