How delete file on server

Hi experts,
I'd like to delete a file on sap server.
I already looked in all forums, but no proposal solution seems to work!
I tried some test with FM (SE37)--> SCMS_FILE_DELETE, DX_FILE_DELETE, EPS_DELETE_FILE, ITS_FILE_DELETE....
put filename and server path, but some FM end with exception and other seems to work but my file is always there (I checked in AL11).
Consider that I can only use a FM or a program already exist (that is I cannot create reports).
Why do these FM not work?
Thanks for your reply.
C.

Why don't you use
Delete Dataset "COMPLETE FILEPATH".
E.g. Delete Dataset '\usr\sap\dir\interface\va01.txt'.

ASP Delete File from server

I have made a file sharing app, and the description and file
name are stored in my access db, when i delete the recordset for
the file i also want to delete the actual file. i am able to delete
the file with the full path entered and the file name as a
variable,
with this code:
<%
Dim filepath
filepath = Session("file_del")
set filedel = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filedel.DeleteFile("C:\localhost\CallCenter\EMPLOYEE_FILES\"&
filepath), True
set filedel = nothing
%>
I put the name of the file in the file_del session variable
on the page that deletes the recordset.
But i would like to make it work on my hosted site without
having to change the path to my sites, so i have made this code:
<%
Dim filepath
filepath = Session("file_del")
strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath(filepath)
set filedel = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filedel.DeleteFile strPhysicalPath , True 'Line that causes
ERROR
set filedel = nothing
%>
But the error comes File Not found.
if i just display the strPhysicalPath variable on the page
without the delete action it displays the proper path.
how can i get the strPhysicalPath to be read, i have tried
all of the ways i can think of
filedel.DeleteFile strPhysicalPath , True
filedel.DeleteFile & strPhysicalPath & , True
filedel.DeleteFile (strPhysicalPath) , True
filedel.DeleteFile ("" & strPhysicalPath & "") , True
filedel.DeleteFile ( & strPhysicalPath) , True
But none of them work ?
Any help would be great

After some rest and a closer examination, i realized the
error was in the mappath line, it wasnt including the folder that
held the files. strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath(filepath) was
wrong so, I added the folder name: strPhysicalPath =
Server.MapPath("EMPLOYEE_FILES/" & filepath) then the file is
deleted. so complete code is:
<%
Dim filepath, strPhysicalPath
filepath = Session("file_del")
strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath("EMPLOYEE_FILES/" &
filepath)
set filedel = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filedel.DeleteFile (strPhysicalPath), True
set filedel = nothing
%>

Delete file Application Server

Hi ...
I have an application wrote with Forms Dev. ... Is it possible delete a file on the application server ??
Is it also possible delete a file in the Application server by a stored procedure ??
Thank's in advance

It is also possible to implement a java procedure on the database being invoked with a PL/SQL wrapper class.
In this way (and if used right) there is also granularity regarding the filestructure permissions given and it may be called during a Forms or other PL/SQL session.
As it is a requirement in this post to delete file from the AS, the database instance holding the JAVA class needs to be installed on the Application Server itself (which is not recommended anyway). But the article below explains a more generic approach how to invoke shell commands from within an Oracle Instance.
Be careful with this, because it really works ;)

Why a program doesn't have permission to delete file on server when I can

Hi
I am running an image cataloguer to manage an image collection on a server. I mount the server share point on my desktop. The cataloguer has a function to delete file(s), but I receive the message that it doesn't have the permission, but I can delete the file from the Finder.
I checked that the program is running with my UID.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance

If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
* Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

How to delete file from server with space in name

I am a novice, learned a little several years ago, but have to start all over again.
I have set up the remote server (upload.comcast.net) without problems. I am unable to delete a file (file error:). I was able to upload the file, but cannot delete it. I figured out that that filename has a leading space. Now it's up on the server, but I cannot access it.
Experiment:
On the local folder, I deleted the leading space, and was able to upload, and delete it successfully. The original file remains unaccessible on the remote server.
Thanks,
Sonny

Thanks for getting back so fast.
Here is the error:
/_4230151.ORF - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot delete remote file _4230151.ORF. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured
As I mentioned before, I don't think that there is an authorization problem, as the changed name works fine, as does index.html
What I do find interesting is that I was able to upload the file with the leading space. If I remember from several years ago, such a file would not even upload.
I shutter to think of contacting Comcast. I think that they just give us the space with internet cable, but we are on our own with the website. Do you think that there might be some way to erase everything? I have only index.html up there, and don't mind starting over again.

Delete files from server

Rather that putting or getting files from the server, how do
I delete them off of the server? I've been clicking on a file, then
right clicking and selecting delete, but does this actually remove
the file off of the server?
I've perused the internet and the help menu and can't find
the answer-is that because it's as obvious as what I am doing
already?
Thanks in advance for any help offered!

>>right clicking and selecting delete, but does this

It does if you're using Remote View in the Files panel.

Can't unlock or delete files on server

At work, we've got a few folders on our Xserver that we can't delete. Trying to drag the folders to the trash gives us "The operation can’t be completed because the item “Icon” is locked" message. Each folder has a file inside of it called "Icon", and it's locked and says it's a Unix executable file. When we get info on this file, the box for "Locked" is checked, but we can't uncheck it. The sharing and permissions show as both read and write. Is there a way we can get these files unlocked, so we can delete the files and their folder?
Thanks in advance for your help and/or suggestions.

Have you tried using the 'rm' command?
If that doesn't work, you may have to use chflag.

PDF file to server (AL11)

Hi gurus,
Does anybody knows how can I manage (create and delete) files in server (AL11) in PDF format??
I've already made a pdf file with my report output (ALV) in order to send it by email. That works fine; but I'll need save this information in a server file too; and overwrite it (delete an create) in each execution.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Use the statement below to create file.
OPEN DATASET l_out_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT.
*Then Transfer the data to l-out_file. by Looping the internal table...
Here Declare wa(wa_control_file contains n no of fields with required length) according to required length per line...
TRANSFER wa_control-file TO l_out_file.
And this definitely transfers the Total data from itab to Application server....
Better use CG3Y and Transfer all the data to the local file and check how much data is available...

HOw to delete files from remote server?

Hi,
I want to delete files from a directory on remote server.
I use the following command to delete on current server:
find $srcdir -mtime +90 -name "COR*.txt" -exec rm -f {} \;
Now, how can I delete files from remote server ?
Thanks!
Yogini

Some possible options:
1. There exists SSH implementation for Windows.
2. You can make a workaround. You can setup share for specific/wanted directory.
Then you can mount it on Linux machine and execute command localy and delete files "localy" in mounted directory.
3. You can setup FTP server on Windows machine and do that remotely via FTP commands.

How to delete the files from server through OAF page

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which i am creating files on server through my CO code.
Now once the page is rendered, i want to delete the files from the server.
Just wondering how can we achieve this.
Kindly advice!
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin
all the methods in the processRequest() are called during loading of the page.
all the methods in the processFormRequest() are called during any action events on the page.
So Use the method in processFormRequest() : write a method in
that on which action you want to delete the file.
