How to search for a file at application server?

Hi,
I need to choose one file for further processing from the directory, located into 'WORK' directory at application server. As far as I see, class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and FILE_OPEN_DIALOG woudn't help me - it's a 'FRONTEND_SERVICES'.... and work with directories at presentation server.
The requirement is that the user has no file sharing from his local PC to the mentioned directory at application server - this directory is visible only in the scope of the application server. I need something as flexible as CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG, if exist.
How can I achieve this?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ivaylo Mutafchiev

Thanks to all contributors!
After short testing I found the following:
1. F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION is not what I was looking for - it doesn;t behave as expected.
2. FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING would help if I need the result into an internal table (thsi would be a case too), but it doesn;t prompt for selection. Helpful, anyway.
3. /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE is the closest match to the requirements.
Thanks to all.

Ivaylo
P.S. Abhijit Dani - sorry, you were the second with the same reply, I rewarded the 1st answer as very helpful.

T-code for delete file from application server

Hi all!
Please, has any t-code for delete file from application server? For upload exist CG3Z, for download has CG3Y. And for delete? Has anyone?
I need to delete file from application server in QA system and i don't want to create a program for this because i will need to transport a request from DEV to QA.

I don't have contact with basis team.
The FM EPS_DELETE_FILE support directory name with max 60 char. My dir. has more than that. I need a transaction for this.
Anybody know if this transaction exist?

Searching for shared files over a server network using a client computer

I think spotlight can only be used to search for files on a local computer. Is there a way to search for shared files on a server from a logged in client computer?

It should work on shared HFS volumes. You would have to start the search from the Finder, not from the Spotlight menu.

How to search for a file?

Hi I am currently using the below code to detect a file automaticaly in a thumbdrive. So currently I have to state the path directory to detect the particular file. Is there a way to search for the file in the thumbdrive using Java?
public class Detect {
public static void main(String[] args)
File f = new File("f:\\");
while (! f.exists())
try { Thread.sleep(500); }
catch (InterruptedException e) {}
System.out.println("drive inserted!");
}

You'll need to recursively search through a top directory and all its subdirectories for all files. Here is a link how to do this.
http://www.javapractices.com/Topic68.cjp
You can search for all drives A through Z for the file (using something like new File("F:") and catching the exception if not found (and dont do anything with the exception). But exclude C and D drive since they are usually hard drives and take forever to search through. Also, you may want to use File.separator instead of '/" or '\' in your code since windowsXP uses one while Unix uses the other and you would want your code to be able to run on either operating system.
Are you building a web page with this? if so, it will not work since your search code would be running on the server and not on the client's machine. Even if you were able to run it on the client machine via his browser, you cant because of security reasons (end users dont want to give you access to thier drives). If its a web page, look into file upload html tag called <input type="file". This allows the end-user to navigate on his machine to where the file is and download it without you having to search for it.
If you writing an application instead of a web page, I think there is an applet you can use that will do the same thing as <input type="file".
Searching though a directory structure isn't good since it takes too long for users t wait.

How to search for a file and copy it to somewhere else in terminal

So basically how can I search for a file on my computer named "testingtesting.txt" and copy it to my desktop using terminal? I have very little experience in terminal, so I was going to try and use the mdfind command, then store that output as a variable, and use that variable as the source for the cp command, but I feel like there is probably a much simpler method. So basically how could I find a file named "testingtesting.txt", copy it, and paste it to my desktop using terminal.

Is there any particular reason that you must use Terminal?
You could just download the free EasyFind from the App Store and find the file quickly. Do whatever you wish with it.
Good luck,
Clinton

Urgent.... Help Needed for Storing file in Application Server

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I have to save a file in Application Server.
File is of 141 Character Length, so there can be spaces left at the end.
When I am downloading the file into Application Sever and then downloading the same file from Application Server to Presentation into a notepad then the spaces at the end are truncating.
I want that the file that is generated should be of 141 character though if there may be spaces at the end.
It will be great if you can help me out in this.
Thanks in Advance.
Jayant Sahu.

when downloading to App server, you need to specify the LENGTH option on your TRANSFER ststement to keep fixed length. You must also use a STRING type variable in your transfer.
From Documentation on Transfer command:
<b>If the file was opened as a text file or a legacy text file, the trailing blank characters are deleted for all data objects, except for those of data type string. The line end marker defined when the file was opened is then added to the remaining content of the data object or to the result of the conversion, and the final result is written byte-by-byte to the file.</b>
There also used to be a problem with WS_DOWNLOAD - you had to do the following:
Maintaining Trailing spaces when downloading to PC
Before calling DOWNLOAD or WS_DOWNLOAD, do a perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'
To set the length of each record including your blanks add this code: perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '100'
Don't think this is needed any more.

Try declaring it as TYPE STRING. Not sure though.
There are two predefined types in ABAP with variable length:
STRING for character strings
XSTRING for byte strings

How to SEARCH for specific file TYPES, e.g. PDF?

If I know the title has in it "resume" and I know it's a PDF, how do you search for all PDF files that have the word "resume" in the title?
AND..
How would you search all PDF files that had the word "supervisor" inside the document?
Thanks

Command F should do it. Once the search window appears, you should see a drop down box headed kind and next to it one headed any. Select PDF from the any one. Click the plus button, and another field will appear and you can see again more drop down boxes. You just want to set these up so you end up with name and contains, you can then add your text to the remaining field.

How to search for all files w Metadata mismatch?

I Upgraded recently from LR2.6 to 3.3.
Many of my images have an Exclamation Mark on them, following the upgrade, informing me that there is a Metadata Mismatch...
When I click on it I get this Dialogue box:
Firstly I think LR developers are playing with potentially important information with a lack of care and consideration. I looked at the metadata in 'File Info' in Photoshop before clicking anything: the creation date was the date the file was created and much of the camera data was missing. After I clicked Overwrite Settings all the original data was back on the file. I have no idea how this came to pass exactly, but it shows metadata is an easily lost thing.
If Adobe care about their customers I would think they would make it more clear what was at stake here!
Secondly I would like to know if there is a way to search for all images with this issue to save me having to go through and do it one by one, possibly thousands of times?

I am not sure what the meaning of different values in column sidecarStatus and externalXmpIsDirty mean. This is what I've found out by trial and error:
sideCarStatus = 1 seems to mean "Settings have changed in Catalog compared to XMP"
sideCarStatus = 7 seems to be OK
externalXmpIsDirty = 1 seems to mean "Settings have changed in XMP compared to Catalog"
sideCarStatus = 1 AND externalXmpIsDirty = 1seems to be a Metadata Conflict
The meaning of sideCarStatus > 1 is unknown to me
I usually run the query and then look at the single images reported in LR.
IMHO, this metadata matching is one of the weaker points in LR. I have encountered several conflict situations where I can be 100% sure I have not changed anything on the image outside of LR, and I have "Automatically write Changes to XMP" active. So a conflict should never arise.

How to search for a file faster?

Whether you are searching for a particular file or searching within all the files then putting 10,000,000 file in a single directory looks (to me) to be silly!
If you just want to find a particular file then why not build an index (say in a simple database). If you want to search within all the files then some directory tree structure will stop Java having to load into memory the whole of your directory content.
