Logical path

Hi All,
How to create logical path in SAP.
thanks in ADV.

Hi,
Use the FILE transaction to create the logical file path.
The table PATH stores this logical file path.
You can retrieve the physical file path by supplying logical file path to FM FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH.
Hope this helps.

  • LSMW: Error concerning the logical path in Specify Files step

    Hi,
    I am trying on an ECC 6.0 EHP6 system to upload (open) POs from an existing SAP ERP system. Since I faced some complications in batch input recording method, I decided to go with the standard batch/direct input method.
    I selected object 0085 (Purchase Order) and method 0001 (Purchase Order). The program that is used is RM06EEI0. I followed all the usual steps, but in the "Specify Files" step I get the message:
    '****.lsmw.conv' does not exist; edit the logical path using transaction FILE
    Being aware of both the FILE and SF01 transactions, I created the logical path and file (through the FILE transaction). However, after the modification, I get the message:
    Logical file '****' is not assigned to physical file '****.lsmw.conv'
    There is also the related SAP Note 753511 (Logical and physical path and file name in transaction LSMW) that refers to this case.

    Hi,
    Click on specify file radio button>Legacy data-on the PC Front end
    where input file location like C:\mydocument\desktop\test.txt
    and give input in Name field: mydocument
    in delimiter section > select Tabular
    File structure section> tick on Field order matches source structure definition
    File type: Record end marker(Text file)
    then press enter key and other steps as same.
    Second thing you said that you have used Batch input recording
    after creation and recording finish , scroll the page below on recording and put a cursor unwanted field and remove unwanted input field.
    I hope your problem will resolve. you can find the steps pdf on Google search try now.
    Thanks

    When you are not in development, you can assign a different physical path to the same logical path in your staging system via the file transaction. As long as you use the logical path name in your code, it will be interpreted correctly with the setup in the system.

  • Finding the logical path

    How to find the logical filename for the given ARCHIVE object.
    I want to know the logical file name of FI_FICA object.
    Can any one guide me.
    Thanks,
    Shree

    Hi Sree,
    I don't have SAP system right now to check it.
    I think if you know the physical path, logical path can be found.
    Please check this thread for further reference.

    hey,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Instead of using logical file name as input, can we allow the user to select logical path using parameter?
    I want user to select Logical path or logical file name from parameter. is it possible?
    (I want to avoid user to input insteal want to allow user to select the path)

    Hi,
    I have an InfoSpoke for which I need to create a Logical Path. All I know is it involves some commands in MSDOS may be. Could anyone please let me know the procedure for the same?
    Thanks.

    Hi Bobs,
             Go to File trnx -> drill down the Logical File Path Definition -> Clcik on  "Create a logical file path" in middle of the screen  ->
    Then it will prompt for details of logical path you want to create
    EX: you can specify in the same lines as give below
    Logical path        ZXXXXXXXXXX                  
    Name                 Description of ZXXXXXXXXX
    Syntax group      UNIX     Unix compatible
    Physical path     /ABC/XYZ/<FILENAME>
    ZXXXXXXXXX is the logical path you want to create
    /ABC/XYZ/<FILENAME> -> /ABC/XYZ/ is the physical path in your server where your files will stored. dont forget to give filename within <> as shown above.
    Just save after that

  • Logical path for getting a Flat file from application server

    Hi All,
    We have loaded some .csv files to application server, what is the logical path we have to mention in the infopackage scheduler screen? please guide me how to give the path for getting a flat file from application server.
    Thanks,
    Sairam.

    Hi Sairam,
    I hope you know which location you have saved in the Application server.
    Now if you go to the Infopackage and click on the "External Data" tab, there you will see Radio Buttons for
    1) Client Workstation
    2) Application Server
    Choose the second radio button, then in the Field "Name of the File" you will be able to use the F4 help and browse AL11 transaction through this option. You can then choose the File.
    Hope this helps

  • LSMW - No logical path specified

    Hi Experts,
    Am developing a Project to upload the data, so, am using spread sheet from my C drive..........but, am getting the following error,
    No logical path specified
    Message no. /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060046
    So, pls, let me know that,
    1 - How to fix it?
    2 - Why its throwing?
    thanq

    In the "Specify files" step, you see following 3 nodes: Legacy Data, Read Data & Concerted data.
    Double click on Converted data where you get a popup & you need to mention the logical path & Logical file name. ( Normally LSMW will be the logical path & specify the same path as presentation server path / File.
    If you do not have a logical path - LSMW, create one with tx: FILE.
    Regards.

  • Logical File creation in Logical path

    Hi all,
    I am after an info, how to create different logical file name in the same physical path.
    Suppose I have physical path: X/claims/interface/outbound which is assigned to logical path LP
    Now under this path I want to store some logical file say 1, 2, and 3
    What would be the naming convention? & how to do it?
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kironmoy Banerjee.

    Hi,
    Use FM u2018FILE_GET_NAMEu2019 to assign the physical file name using a logical file name.
    Remember you need to create u2018logical file nameu2019 using transaction u2013 FILE.
    R/3 applications run on various platforms with various file systems. Hence we use platform-independent logical file names in our application programs.
    Function module u2018FILE_GET_NAMEu2019 converts a logical file name to the corresponding physical file name and path for the hardware platform concerned.
    For this conversion to work for different platforms, the definition of a logical file name must include a logical file path, which in turn is converted to different physical file paths, depending on the particular platform. The platform-specific file name returned by the function module is composed of the physical file path for the current platform and the physical file name associated with the logical file name. Placeholders in physical file and path names are substituted at runtime by the corresponding current values.
    Example
    logical file name: MONTHLY_SALES_FILE
    physical file name: VALUES<PARAM_1>
    logical path: SALES_DATA_PATH
    physical path (UNIX): /usr/<SYSID>/<FILENAME>
    physical path (Windows): C:\SALES\<FILENAME>.
