  • How to delete the Generated files from application server(open hub)?

    hi experts,
    when i try to execute process chain the DTP it is giving below dump. Exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED logged.
    when i execute the DTP manually and trying to delete the previous request, it is giving for dump ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY.
    so to delete the generated file from application server, how to delete it for specific dates?
    Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" - in
    "START_ROUTINE".
    The main program was "RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 2874
    of the (Include) program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM".
    The program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" was started as a background job.
    and when i check the dump it is point out at below code
    " 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.
    but the programme is syntactically correct only.
    how to rectify the issue.

    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.
    thanks

  • Error in Reading the file from Application Server

    Hi,
    This Error is regarding one of my interface, the issue is that , the interface reads data from file in bunch suppose 100 records at a time , then processes those records and once finished go for next 100 records .
    Noe the error is that , the process takes place till 500 records correctly but when it went to fetch for next 100 i.e fom 501 to 600 it selects only 501 to 583 .
    this records has been processed successfully but the job finished there only
    but the file contains 788 records
    When the same file has been run in other server it ran successfully without such error .
    Can you please suggest how to resolve the issue

    Hi,
    Try to manually download the file from application server using standard transactions, and than check how many records are you able to download from app. server.
    I guess there might be something wrong with the format of 583rd record, which makes sap assume that the file has come to an end.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Problem while dowloading the file from Application Server

    Dear Experts,
                 I am facing the Problem while downloading the file from Application server.
    We done the automatic function while saving the invoice, this will create an idoc, and this idoc is written in the Application Server.
    I am running the Transaction AL11 and select the record, and from menu --> List, i am downloading into TXT format.
    But for some segments, the length is long, and so the last 3 to 4 fields values are not appearing in the File. Even though i am unable to view the values in the file before downloading. But i can view in IDOC.
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Srini

    but our user will use the Txn. AL11 and they will download from there
    Educate the user On a serious note, tell him this is not how data from app server should be downloaded. You can ask him to talk to the basis team to provide him access to the app server folder where the file is being stored.
    I can set the Variant and put this in background, But always the file name will be change, Like we use Time stamp in the File name.
    You can't automate this process by scheduling in BG mode. This is because the in BG mode you can't dwld the file to presentation server.
    Hope i'm clear.

    how to have a live feed from application server log file (realtime viewr for apps log files)
    hi , thank you for reading my post.
    is there any way to have a live feed of Application server log ?
    for example is there any application that can watch the log file and show the changes as new log items come in ?
    can some one with more experience help ?

    Your question would be more suited to the Developer Forums
    http://devforums.apple.com
    but anyway...
    My goal is to develop a web application that is able to run on iPhone too, to capture the audio and video content from its camera and mic.
    Web Apps running in Safari don't have access to the camera or mic hardware.
    Or I should built a native application distributed through Apple store?
    That is your only option, although such a system already exists:

    Is there any function module exists???
    thanks in advance
    Saurabh

    Hi you can use this function module to move a file from application server to another folder on application server.
    call function 'WS_FILE_COPY'
               exporting
                    destination = m_destination
                    source      = m_source
               importing
                    return      = return.
    Plus u can use this function module to delete the file from that folder from which u want to replace it.
          call function 'WS_FILE_DELETE'
               exporting
                    file   = m_source
               importing
                    return = return.
    The above FM can help u copy a file from one folder to another and delete the file from that folder.
