How to open dataset on a specific server

I have no problem outputting my dataset online after unicode conversion.
However, when running in background mode and without specifying the server to run(we have a number of application server), ie t dump.
Now, how can I set a background job to open the dataset on the central server within the program code?
Thanks

You can specify the complete path of central application server when you use Open data set statement. e.g you want to open a file from cent_serv on Z directory.
Open dataset '\\cent_serv\z\file.txt'
Hope it works.

    I don't think it's hard if understood the question properly you can try this I do it most of the time and this might be the solution for you, sometimes minor simple click is a life saver:)
    1. 
    Open SQL Server Management Studio, or if it's running select File -> Connect Object Explorer... and click the
    connect drop down arrow
    2. 
    In the Connect to Server dialog you will see Database Enghine, Analaysis Servie on so on and you go head change Server type to
    SQL Server Compact Edition
    3. 
    From the Database file drop-down as shown below click the drop down arrow and select <

  • How to open word document from application server?

    hello ,
    I want to open a word document that is placed on the application server.
    the function module 'ws_execute' works fine for displaying documents placed on ur local file system. But if i want to open from application server, what needs to b done?
    i m referring to the following demo program 'SAPRDEMOOFFICEINTEGRATION'
    is this the correct reference or there is some other way to do the same?
    kindly help.
    Regards,
    Roshani

    Hi Roshani,
              The solution is like this.
    1> Execute - this is the solution to your program. The file is generated and put in the Application Server for the data to be sent by some means to the intended Place.
    2> To Display/View - This is for the person (who runs the program) to view if the output generated is correct or not.
             So to accomplish this use the same internal table for both Open Dataset and Gui download.
    Open dataset puts data onto the Application server and Gui_download puts the data onto the Desktop or Presentation server for the user to see the data thats fetched.
    So use them as directed to achieve the desired output.
    Reward Points.
    Thanks,
    Tej..

  • Open Dataset : File creation in server

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to use  
    Open dataset dsn for output in text mode encoding default.   " dsn = '
    pt-net\taskout\outfile.txt'.
    loop at itab.
    transfer itab to dsn.
    endloop.
    to write a file at a destination on a windows NT server For eg :
    pt-net\taskout\outfile.txt
    I see sy-subrc = 0 at both open dataset and transfer commands in the debugger. But the file is not written.
    I can manually create files when I access this path in my explorer. So it is not an access issue.
    Also, my SAP application server is a Unix server. But the file I am trying to write is in NT server. THis is for  a 3rd party application. Where am I possibly going wrong ? I am able to write this file to the Unix application server path using the above command. But I need to write this in the Windows server.
    Do I need first write to Unix path and then FTP it to Windows server ? I can manually do this. But since this program is going to run as a job, I want to automate this..
    THanks in advance!!

    Hi,
    This is my advice:
    First write the file in the file system of your application server.
    After that find out, what to do for transport on operation system level.
    Since SAP allows system calls, you can do it in the same way by program.
    I give you some code. Unfortunately it is from Windows to Windows. Nevertheless I hope you can profit by it.

  • How to open a file located at server using JSP

    hi,
    i would like to open a file located at server as it is. I mean to say, if it a MS Word file, i wanna open it in MS Word, if it an Excel file, i wanna open it in Excel. i know the location (path) of the file. Can someone help me please.
    Thanx

    The best way would simply be to HREF it.
    ie<a href="excelfiles/spreadsheet.xls">Open spreadsheet</a>When a user then clicks on that lick in their browser they should be given the option to either download or (if they have the appropriate program, in this case MS Excel, installed) open it.
    This works best if the client is using a version of Internet Explorer (if you're dealing with MS files), but any browser should potentially offer you the option of opening the file.
    Beyond that there's no way to specifically open a program on a client machine (it'd be a bit of a security loophole if you could! - Imagine a JSP page being able to open FDISK...). All you can do is pass the file (via the HREF) and let the client decide what to do with it.

  • How to open  .exe file located in server system by the client system

    hi,
    i am using tomcat 5.0 as server and jsp as front end.
    I placed some of the software in the server system.I want to open the exe of those software from the client system when the user clicks the button.
    I am able to open them in the server system itself but if i try to open it from other system(client system using ip address of server system), the exe file gets opened and displayed in the server system only but not in the client system.
    any idea???
    Please help.
    Thanks & Regards,

    i am not using applets and downloading the software to clients machine is not required, the user has to click the "open software buttton" and it should get displayed in his system.
    anyhow can u give me some idea on using applets--- iam not good in applet coding.

  • How do i login to a Specific Server Node

    We have three Server nodes in our production cluster for the Portal. We deployed a .ear file for custom webdynpro development. SDM during the the Deplyment should have deployed the .ear file on the server nodes. But it looks like the .ear file was not deployed on some server nodes.
    My problem i do not know a way whyere i can specifically login to the specific Server node to check the Appliation.
    My end users are getting Errors and i can not see them becuase i am not logged in to the same server node.
    Any help is Appreciated.
    Sudheer.

    One way that I achieve this is by modifying the saplb_* cookie in the request. You can use firefox cookie editor addon to modify the cookie before a request is sent.
    For e.g. your saplb_*  cookie might have this value (J2EE31487700)31487750
    here the node is 0 if you change the last digit to one it will go to node 1 so the value will be (J2EE31487700)31487751
    Hope this helps.
    To make sure the node is changed to 1, you can check the response cookie and it should contain a trailing 1.

    Hi All,

    Hi,
    If you are on windows, the solution is to create a shared directory anf give access rights to your sapservice <SID> user.
    It's not really logical to put files on app servers because one app server can stopped without stopping the system.
    So we decided to put all our shared directories on the Central Instance server.

    I want output 2 files not as single one.
    Can anyone suggest me what to do?

  • In OPEN DATASET Statement Filenames are platform-specific How to specify MS

    In OPEN DATASET Statement
    Filenames are platform-specific. You must therefore use file- and pathnames that conform to the rules of the operating system under which your R/3 System is running. However, you can also use logical filenames to ensure that your programs are not operating system-specific. For further information, refer to Using Platform-Independent Filenames.
    DATA FNAME(60).
    FNAME = '/tmp/myfile'.
    OPEN DATASET 'myfile'.
    OPEN DATASET FNAME.
    This example works as long as your R/3 System is running under UNIX. The program opens the file "myfile" in the directory in which the R/3 System is running, and also opens the file "myfile" in directory "/tmp".
    FNAME = '[TMP]myfile.BIN'
    OPEN DATASET 'myfile.BIN'.
    question]]  How to specify an MS-file & how to go about?

    Hi,
    Just get the input file name from the application server through selection screen and keep it in parameter(p_inpfile).
    Then pass the parameter to OPEN DATASET statement.
    OPEN DATASET p_inpfile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        WRITE :/ text-004.                                   "'No such input file' COLOR 3.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        DO.
          CLEAR : wa_string,wa_0001.
    *Reading the file from application server and moving to work area*
          READ DATASET p_inpfile INTO wa_string.
          IF sy-subrc NE 0.
            EXIT.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR wa_0001.
    *Spliting fields in the file-
            REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN wa_string WITH ' '.
            SPLIT wa_string AT c_htab INTO wa_0001-pernr
                                           wa_0001-werks       "Personnel Area
                                           wa_0001-persk       "Employee Sub-Group

  • Fetch excel file from app. server using open dataset...

    Hello Experts,
    Our functional consultant is asking me if it possible to get an excel file from the
    application server file using OPEN dataset and in background mode? If yes, Please tell me on how to do this.
    Thank you guys and take care!

    Hi Viraylab,
    to download this the procedure:
    you can use the FM 'EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT ' for this purpose.
    this FM 'EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT' can be used to start Excel with a new sheet and transfer data from an internal table to the sheet.
    Here are some of the parameters:
    file_name: Name and path of the Excel worksheet file e.g. ?C:TEMPZTEST?
    data_tab: Name of the internal table that should be uploaded to Exvcel
    fieldnames: Internal tabel with column headers
    How to build the field names table:
    data: begin of i_fieldnames occurs 20,
    field(60), end of i_fieldnames.
    i_fieldnames-field = ?This is column 1?. append i_fieldnames-field.
    i_fieldnames-field = ?This is column 2?. append i_fieldnames-field.
    to upload follow this:
    OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    DO.
    READ DATASET dsn INTO itab-field.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
    APPEND itab.

    EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    ENDDO.

  • How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical. 
    If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
    Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization? 
    You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
    If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured.   This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
    If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
    The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
    http://10.20.30.40
    UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share.  That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network.  You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server.  (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
    If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance.  If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed.  (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)
