How System Command can replace a file in Application Server

Hi Guys,
A new system Command is created. When that system command is executed, the client wants to take a file from one directory in application server and put that file into another directory on the application server itself. How this can be achieved?
What I know is we can create a function module and place that function module in the system command. But in that function module, I have to change the fielname and put that into another directory. I don't know how to do it.
Note: I shouldn't read the data from the file using Open Dataset statements..
Please let me the solution if any one has encountered such a scenario.
Regards.
Hari.

I think you are mixing up things here.
The program "sapiconv" is for converting files into different codepages, it´s not for copying/moving files to other directories.
If you want to use the ZSAPICONV to you need to modify it, take out the "sapiconv" and put in the "mv" (move) command to move the file to the other directory.
I suggest though creating a NEW command. e.g ZMV and give the appropriate parameters.

How to Provide search Help for files on Application Server

Hi Guys,
 Can anyone tell me How to Provide search Help for files on Application Server. I have put a file name on selection screen. I want to give search help for files on application server.
Thanks & Regards.
Harish.

Hi Harish,
Use the following code,
tables sxpgcotabe.
data: lt_execprot LIKE btcxpm OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
 w_filepath(60) TYPE c, --> length depending on your Directory path.
SELECT SINGLE *
 FROM sxpgcotabe
 WHERE name = 'LIST_DB2DUMP'
 AND opsystem = sy-opsys.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 SELECT SINGLE *
 FROM sxpgcotabe
 WHERE name = 'LIST_DB2DUMP'
 AND opsystem = 'UNIX'.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE e000 WITH 'External operating system command '
 'LIST_DB2DUMP not found'.
 ENDIF.
ENDIF.
sxpgcotabe-parameters = p_filepath. --> provide the directory path.
CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'
 EXPORTING
 commandname = sxpgcotabe-name
 additional_parameters = sxpgcotabe-parameters
 operatingsystem = sxpgcotabe-opsystem
 TABLES
 exec_protocol = lt_execprot
 EXCEPTIONS
 no_permission = 1
 command_not_found = 2
 parameters_too_long = 3
 security_risk = 4
 wrong_check_call_interface = 5
 program_start_error = 6
 program_termination_error = 7
 x_error = 8
 parameter_expected = 9
 too_many_parameters = 10
 illegal_command = 11
 wrong_asynchronous_parameters = 12
 cant_enq_tbtco_entry = 13
 jobcount_generation_error = 14
 OTHERS = 15.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE e000 WITH text-e01 p_filepath. "Directory failed
ENDIF.
Loop round the directory list, split each line up into a line table
and get the last data for each line, should be the filename
Then build the dirlist.
REFRESH t_dirlist.
LOOP AT lt_execprot.
 REFRESH t_dirline.
 SPLIT lt_execprot-message AT space INTO TABLE t_dirline.
 DESCRIBE TABLE t_dirline LINES w_nolines.
 READ TABLE t_dirline INDEX w_nolines.
 MOVE t_dirline-data TO t_dirlist-filename.
 APPEND t_dirlist.
ENDLOOP.
Here you will get all the files in the directory mentioned in Application server.
For displaying them as a Search help use the FM '/BMC/ZPOPUP_GET_VALUE'
Pass the Internal table to this FM.

Can i transfer file from application server to lotus server.

hi
can i transfer file from application server to lotus server.
i m geting file on application server but i want to transefer that file from application server to lotus server.
if yes than give me suggestion.
thanks in advanced.

Hello Laxman
If you want to trigger the file transfer from within SAP then you need to execute an external OS command (transaction SM49, SM69).
At the level of the OS (operating system, e.g. Windows, Linux) you need to be able to transfer files to the Lotus server.
Your task is, for example, to write a report executing the external OS command which will be executed at the OS level where the file transfer happens.

How to get correct format in file at Application server

Hi,
I am retrieving data MATNR,MAKTX,VENDOR,VENDOR NAME,PRODUCT HIERARCHY,QUANTITY(LABST),BUDAT.
I am downloading the data into .xls file in both presentation and application server.
In presentation I am getting correct format.
Where as in application server I am not getting proper format.
Quantity(MARD-LABST) is not coming proprely.(###6## instead of 36)
How to get it in correct forma?I

symbol means Space
Before transfer the data to File..
condense MARD-LABST and then transfer it.
I guess you are using charcter field LABST while transferring the data to file.
Do not use quantity field directly,please move it to charcter field then condense it.
Thanks

How to know the first placed file in Application server directory

Hi All ,
i want to Know the First plased file in a application server directory . i have tried with
FM EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES but it is giving the file size. Can anybody give some idea to get the file lastmodify property.
Thanks & Regards
Prithvi.

Hi Prithvi!
Use the methods of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES (if your release is at least 620, sorry otherwise).
Method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES will give you all files of a directory, then you can check with method FILE_GET_ATTRIBUTES for some date info.
But maybe you can agree about a timestamp in the filename - this has to be set by the sender, but is much easier and reliable, too.

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.
Edited by: Dmitry Kalmykov on Jul 28, 2009 8:58 AM

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).

How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."

How System Centre can manage Azure ?

Hi
How System Centre can manage Azure in better way?
Is there any better tool available in market, which can manage Azure.. ?
Thanks, Kk

only two possibilities i see here
make these VM part of your network so they are visible to the System center, this can be done by creating a vpn or use system center that allow you to manage cloud VMs without having them in vpn, which i believe is called "System
Center Management Pack for Windows Azure"
The System Center Management Pack for Windows Azure enables you to monitor the availability and performance of resources that are running on Windows Azure. The management pack runs on a specified resource pool and then uses various Windows Azure APIs to remotely
discover and collect instrumentation information about a specified Windows Azure resource, such as a Cloud Service, Storage or Virtual Machine. The Management Pack for Windows Azure provides no functionality on import. For each Windows Azure subscription that
contains Azure resources you want to monitor, you must configure discovery and monitoring by first using the Windows Azure wizard in the administration section of the OM Console, then the Windows Azure Monitoring template in the authoring section of the OM
Console.
you can download it from
here
Hope this helps

How to rename a file in Application server

Hi All,
Here I have a issue with the present file which is being generated in application server.
Before the completion of the file the EDI tool is extracting the file from the app server.So here I would like to generate the file with a temp name and then rename to the actual file name which EDI recognises and fetches.
Please correct me If I am wrong and let me know how to rename the file in application server.
Thanks,
Vijay N

you can try using unix command , if your application server is unix.
use move command
mv <source> <target>
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
 no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like rlgrap-filename.
unixcom = 'mv file1 file2'.
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
 line(400),
 end of tabl.
data: lines type i.
start-of-selection.
refresh tabl.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
 id 'TAB' field tabl[].
or else you can open dataset/ read the dataset and move it to another file and delete the old file.

How to delete files from application server posted in last 30 days

I have some files in application server posted through ABAP program with the below format
\.\.\.abcd_20110209_111209.csv (with date and time). I need to delete those files which was posted in last 30 days through another program. Could you plaese help me to achieve the requirement?

There are many ways you can delete/archive files in application servers.
1. Depending on the application server, usually administrators setup delete/archive programs. For e.g. if the application server is a UNIX, then the unix admin will write a script to delete/move older files. - this is the most common approach I've seen.
If you have to achieve this through ABAP then,
1. You can get the script from the server admin and then use that script to create an external system command through SM69/49 and use the function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to execute it.
2. You can also look at FM EPS_DELETE_FILE and see if it fits the bill for you.
There are many other possibilities too and each one has its own pros/cons. So you'll have to choose the right one for your requirement.
