Logical file destination in SPAD

Can you direct print to a logical file destination with a definition in SPAD? I want to create a device in SPAD that will send print to a logical file that I'ved defined in tcode FILE. Can I do this?
Thanks,
Daniel

The only solution I can think of is printing to a file:

InfoSpoke and Logical File Name

We have created an Infospoke to extract data to a logical file. When we define the Logical File Name Definition using the FILE transaction, we have to enter a physical file name. This will require us to create a new Logical File Name Definition for every Infospoke. Instead of hard coding the physical file name in the Logical File Name Definition for each InfoSpoke we would like to dynamically create the file name to include the InfoObject Name (cube, ODS object, etc) in the physical file name.
We have tried to use the <F=CPROG> substitution parameter in the logical file name. When the function module FILENAME_EXIT_CPROG is called we find that we do not have access to any information other then what is available in the system variables (structure SYST)
1. Are there any modification to the class CL_RSB_FILE_LOGICAL and method DETERMINE_FILENAME that we can make to create a logical file name that includes the InfoSpoke name?
2. Is there any way to access any system information from within the FILENAME_EXIT_CPROG function module that would give us the InfoSpoke information?

I think you can modify the method 'DETERMINE_FILENAME' for this.
In the call to FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH FM, add an additional parameter 'parameter_1', and set its value to O_R_REQUEST-N_OHDEST (this should have the open hub destination name).
call function.....
parameter_1 = O_R_REQUEST-N_OHDEST
If the logical filename contains placeholder (< > ??), it should now be replaced with the destination name.
I am not very familiar with ABAP objects. You might wish to check whethet it is possible without a 'modification' like this, where you create another Z implementation of the class and delegate(?).

Logical WSIL destinations broken after server restart

Hi all,
I have deployed a number of CAF Application Services on my WebAS (CE 7.1). On the same server I have configured a logical WSIL destination (inspection.wsil) that points to the server itself so that it can be used by Web Dynpro applications that uses the CAF services. This works fine until I restart the server, after that the WSIL destination no longer contains my CAF services! They are still deployed and they can be reached on a WSDL level but not using WSIL. If I redeploy the CAF services the WSIL destination is working again. Why does a restart reset the inspection.wsil file?

Using a Logical File definition in LSMW

Hi all,
is there any way that we can use a Logical File (defined in transaction FILE) as an application server file in the "specify files" step, instead of having to enter the physical path/file?
Thanks in advance,
Justin

Hello,
Check pages 46 and 47 of the following document :
[http://sapabap.iespana.es/manuales/pdf/lsmw.pdf|http://sapabap.iespana.es/manuales/pdf/lsmw.pdf]
You can only use a logical filename for subsequent programs (example direct input programs) not for the actual input file of your LSMW.

Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

Hi all,
We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded.
I understand we could use logical file for this purpose. However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename". However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given.
Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
Many thanks and best regards,
Victoria

Hi,
After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths' then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
hope this helps u to some extent.

Hi Ram,
Try using FILE transaction code...
Follow these steps to create:::
Double click on Logical file Path Definition
Click on New Entries,
Give Logical file Path name as Z_LOGICAL PATH and save it
now choose this path and double click on Assignemt of Physical path to Logical path
double click on the OS name
Give some description and give some Physical path name from AL11 transaction and save it
Now Double click on Logical File Name Definition,
Click on New Entries,
Give some logical file name: Z_LOGICAL_FILENAME
Physical file: test
Data Format: BIN
Logical Path: Z_LOGICAL PATH
Hope this helps

How can I have a custom output file destination for each different preset?

Hey guys,
I have a bunch of presets in AME but I need to have each preset export to it's own folder. How can I do that? This was a really simple thing to do in Compressor but in Media Encoder is seems like I can only specify one output file destination for the whole application in general and everything gets exported to that folder. Can anyone help me with that please?

This is a user to user forum. It is not staffed by Adobe employees so you will not always get a direct response from Adobe.
That being said, the output destination is not tied to the presets so this is not possible without a little extra work. You can change multiple output destinations by selecting multiple jobs and then clicking on one of the output locations to update them all. Another way to set this up would be to use watch folders.
This is a feature request are aware of but if you would like to add your vote for it, please add that request here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

File system error: The record ID is incorrect. Physical file: . Logical file:

Hi,
I face this error message when I try to 'process update' a dimention, sometime it works but sometime it failed with the error below:
Description: File system error: The record ID is incorrect. Physical file: . Logical file: .
My environment: Window Server 2008 R2+SQL Server 2008 R2.
Note: this issue can be resolved by full cube process, but I can't to that every time if it failed, just want to know what happen at backend of SSAS, It block me neary 2 week without any finding, really appreciate that someone can help on this.
I have do some research with google, I think the root cause here is not TopCount function(It may be a problem with SQL Server2005), also not the size limitation of 4GB size of .astore file.(I check the size of my cube under 'Data\XXX.db\' folder, which only
have few MB size).
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Here is a microsoft fix
FIX: "File system error" occurs when you try to run a process update operation on a dimension in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services and in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services
In your acenario, in order to fix this issue, please apply the latest Cumulative update and Service Pack according to your SQL Server version. Besides, there are two workarounds in that fix, plese try it and check if it works or not.

Error while reading raw file created in previous task using raw file destination

I am reading a flat file and creating an raw file using raw file destination. path of the raw file is in a variable. now I am reading the raw file using the rawfile source component. I am able to execute if the .raw file is available. But
when we deploy into the production the .raw will be created runtime, so the package is getting failed while evualting the variable which hold the path of the variable. since the .raw is not available i am not able to proceed further. it's in ssis 2008
r2
Error at Load Data [Raw File Source [401]]: File "c:\test123.raw" cannot be opened for reading. Error may occur when there are no privileges or the file is not found. Exact cause is reported in previous error message.
Error at Load Data [SSIS.Pipeline]: component "Raw File Source" (401) failed validation and returned error code 0x80004005.
Error at Load Data [SSIS.Pipeline]: One or more component failed validation.
Error at Load Data : There were errors during task validation.

I am also using a raw file destination using a variable.
I have set DelayValidation = true on both the DataFlow task and even the Sequence Container.
I get the same error when I run the entire ssis package, however
when I run the individual container or individual task it runs without an error.
Also, something interesting is the error is not the same path as the variable name.
Warning: The system cannot find the file specified.
Error: File "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp\GUIDNumber\\RawFileName" cannot be opened for reading. Error may occur when there are no privileges or the file is not found. Exact cause is reported in previous error message.
The variable is "C:\Temp\ProjectName\RawFileName"
I have other RawFile sources in this same project, but only this one file is giving me grief.
Any other suggestions? Is this a bug?
Have you set an expression for connection string property of raw file? Is it based on variable/expression or configuration? If yes, check the value of variable/ expression or configuraton item at runtime by putting a breakpoint in the pre execute event of task
and make sure path value its getting is correct. It may be that path is getting a different value at runtime due to expression/configuration set for it.

Error while creating logical file using transaction FILE

Hello there,
I am facing an error while creating Logical File name definition using transaction FILE
This is the input which I'm trying to give
Logical file name: ZTEST
Name : ZTEST
Physical file : ZTEST_1<DATE><TIME>.csv
Data format: ASC
Application area: BW
Logical path:ZTEST_1_DATAOUT
when I tried to save it throws me an error like ASSIGN_SUBSTRING_NOT_ALLOWED
Please help.

Hi,
Please check the OSS Notes :

SAP Note 1297989 - Short dump ASSIGN_SUBSTRING_NOT_ALLOWED
Hope this solves the problem.

LSMW - Logical File Path not pointing to Physical Path

Hi All,
I'm trying to upload some MIGO goods movement transactions through LSMW. I'm to step 7, specifying files, and am getting the error "No logical file path has been specified. I saw another thread which helped me, but I am still stuck after reading it.
Re: Error in Creation of Purchase Requisition through LSMW
I have gone into transaction FILE and created the logical file name MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT, and set the physical file as the .lsmw.conv converted data file as the above thread says. I also tried using the logical path LOCAL_TEMPORARY_FILES for the converted data, but I get the error telling me that the path does not point to a physical directory. I then tried creating my own file path, and setting the path to my desktop where the source file is, and the same error occurred.
Does anyone know why it is not recognizing the physical path maintained in the logical path?
Thanks,
J

Thanks for both replies,
I have full authorization across all transactions in the sandbox system I am working in, so that is not an issue. I filled the logical path field in the MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT logical file with LOCAL_TEMPORARY_FILES, as well as trying my own created file path, and I recieved the same error for each. Here is how the config is currently:
Logical File Path Definition: MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT
Syntax Group: WINDOWS NT
Physical path: C:\Documents and Settings\jchanski\Desktop\<FILENAME>
or,
Logical File Path Definition: LOCAL_TEMPORARY_FILES
Syntax Group: WINDOWS NT
Physical path: C:\temp\<FILENAME>
Logical File Name Definition: MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT
Physical file: MM_MM_MIGO_INVUPLOAD.lsmw.conv
Data format: ASC
Applicat.area: MM
Logical path: LOCAL_TEMPORARY_FILES or MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT
Do you see any error with this Brajvir? Thanks!

Creation of logical file while creating APD

Hello,
I am creating an APD in which Multiprovider as source and flat file as the target with some filter in between.
While defining the target as flat file, I have selected application server and logical file name.
Can any one please let me know how to create this file which should be selected from the list of files.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
In order to create a file in the directory, you would need to write a ABAP program from your side.. like OPEN DATASET. or else Basis would help you to create this fro you.
Hope I understood your question...
