LSMW by BI  : Unable to specify file in step 7; logical Path not assigned

Hi,
I'm trying to uplaod HR DATA using object 0555 and method 0000 for Program RPDUSTD00 using LSMW Batch Input Method.
In step 7 when i specify file which tab delimited text file at front end pc(at my pc) let say  c:\test.txt and save I got error message 'Logical path not assigned'.
Please suggest what I'm missing and what i need to do to get it correct.
Thanks,
Anshuman.

Hi,
There are other files specified in the screen for imported and converted data. These files must be accessible on SAP application server. If the logical file names are not created use physical ones lik /tmp/blabla.lsmw.read etc.
Make sure you use different files for different objects.
Kind regards
Michael

  • LSMW : Unable to Specify Files . Logical path incorrect ?

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to upload Goods movement Using the Standard LSMW 0110 program RM07MMBL.
    When I try to execute the step Specify Files ,system displays an error message "No Logical Path specified."
    The Source File is in my Local PC .
    When I click the Converted Data File in the Specify files list
    I get a popup which asks me for a Logical path and a Logical File and both these parameters a mandatory.
    I tried to maintain the parameters and entries in transaction FILE also.
    But it says 'logical path not assigned to the physical directory.'
    What is the correct method for this.
    What steps should I follow ..
    Pls advice

    Hi,
      Refer the oss note 753511 released for this kind of error you face in LSMW, I am pasting the content of the note below,
    ******************Note Content,
    Symptom
    The system issues an error message for the logical path or file when you perform the "Specify files" step in the Legacy System Migration Workbench (transaction LSMW) although you have made the correct assignment in transaction FILE.
    The error messages are as follows:
    The logical path <PATH> does not point to the physical directory.
    The logical file <FILE> is not assigned to the physical file.
    or
    A logical path was not specified.
    Other terms
    Logical path, logical file, transaction FILE, LSM Workbench
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Some import interfaces that you can also use with transaction LSMW work with logical path and file names.
    Transaction LSMW itself, however, works with physical file names. To be able to transfer the LSMW file with the converted data to the import program, you must specify a logical file name for the file with the converted data in addition to the physical file name. In this case, the system displays additional fields in the 'Specify files' step in which you must enter the logical path and file name.
    Solution
    The error messages may be due to several causes. Check the following:
    Have you maintained the logical path and logical file name and have you assigned them to the physical file specified in the "File" input field of transaction LSMW?
    These settings are maintained in transaction FILE.
    When you use logical file and path names, you must specify the name of the physical file with its path. If you have not specified any directory, you cannot assign any directory to the logical path in transaction FILE. In this case, the system uses the SAP Home directory on the application server by default. Bear in mind that the file name must not exceed the maximum length of 45 characters, including the path.
    Up to LSMW version 1.7.2 (*):
    If the logical file name specified does not point to the physical file (although it should do), the system adjusts the logical file name, that is, the information in transaction FILE is changed to the entries made in transaction LSMW. This may lead to unwanted side effects if the logical file is also used somewhere else. Therefore, SAP recommend that you always use separate logical paths and file names for transaction LSMW (the problem is corrected as of LSMW version 1.8.0, see below). If the logical file does not exist yet, it will be created upon request.
    As of LSMW version 1.8.0 (*):
    The settings of the logical file are checked but no longer adjusted automatically as in version 1.7.2 (see above). If there are inconsistencies, the system issues an error message. If the user is authorized to maintain logical paths and file names (as for transaction FILE: "Maintenance authorization for cross-client tables"), transaction LSMW can create the logical path, the file name and the file. Due to this automatic generation, the user no longer needs to make adjustments in transaction FILE. Therefore, we especially recommend this procedure.
    To display the version of transaction LSMW, select "Extras" --> "Display LSMW version" in the main menu of the initial screen.
    You should also bear in mind that as of Basis Release 6.20, that is, as of LSMW version 4.0, transaction LSMW is no longer an add-on but is delivered with the standard system.
    Hope this helps,
    Rgds,

    Have u followed all the steps perfectly while creating a lsmw ???
    There are 14 steps that are normally used and these are :
    1)   Maintain Object Attributes.
    2)   Maintain Source Structures.
    3)   Maintain Source Fields.
    4)   Maintain Structure Relations
    5)   Maintain Field Mapping and conversion rules .

  • ORA-27086: unable to lock file over NFS -- but it's NOT Netapp!

    My 10.2 database crashed, and when it came back I got the following error:
    ORA-00202: control file: '/local/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/lkFOOBAR'
    ORA-27086: unable to lock file - already in use
    Linux-x86_64 Error: 11: Resource temporarily unavailable
    This is a classic symptom of a Netapp problem, which likes to hold file locks open on NFS mounts. There is a standard procedure for clearing those locks; see, for instance, document 429912.1 on Metalink.
    Unfortunately, my files are mounted on an Isilon, one of Netapp's twisted cousins. I can find no references to "isilon" on Metalink, and we are at a loss how to resolve this.
    My sysadmin assures me that "there are no locks on the Isilon". But I know this cannot be the case, because if I do the following:
    1. delete the lockfile /local/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/lkFOOBAR, and then
    2. move my controlfiles aside, and then copy them back into place,
    then the database will mount. However, it will not open, because now all the datafiles have locks.
    Is there anyone with experience in clearing NFS locks? I know this is more of a SA task than DBA, but I am sure my SA has overlooked something.
    Thanks

    New information:
    As stated above, I moved the controlfiles aside and then copied them back into place, like this:
    mv control01.ctl control01-bak.ctl
    cp control01-bak.ctl control01.ctlDid that for each controlfile, and then the database mounted.
    But, after rebooting the machine, we discovered that all locks were back in place-- it looks like the system is locking the files on boot-up, and not letting them go. The lock is held by PID 1, which is init.
    sculkget: lock held by PID: 1This is definitely looking like a major system issue, and not a DBA issue, and hence I have little right to expect assistance in this forum. But nonetheless I lay my situation out here before you all in case someone else recognizes my problem before the server bursts into flames!
    The system is CentOS 4.5-- not my choice, but that's the way it is.

  • Unable to access files with spaces in the path

    Hi all, I am accessing files which reside on the server using a java applet.
    The typical path of a file could be:
    http://192.168.0.2/agat/data/AF190701 0003.agt
    (not the space in the filename).
    When I try to open this file using a URL object:
    URL file = new URL(filename);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(file.openStream()));
    I get exception 400 ( I think) whihc I assume is file cant be found.
    However when I rename the file (to get rid of that space) and also change the filename variable to suit. The file is opened as expected.
    What should I do to make the applet able to open paths with spaces? Or is this just not possible.
    I did try including quotes with the special characte precessor:
    filename = "/"http://192.168.0.2/agat/data/AF190701 0003.agt/""
    But this didnt work either, please could someone tell what I need.
    Thanks.

    Thanks guys, although before I got your replies I did the following - it seems to work, but shall try your suggestions.
    while (file.lastIndexOf(" ") >0)
    String temp;
    int num = file.lastIndexOf(" ");
    temp = file.substring(0, num) + "%20" + file.substring(num+1, file.length());
    file = temp;
    }

  • File GPP preference item fails path not found

    Hi,
    I have a GPP preference item, for a file, to copy it from a file share to C:\ on my servers.
    The computer 'SetACL.exe' preference item in the 'Base Tools {0CC263CF-2996-40A5-8690-9C8E7A2314C5}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070003 The system cannot find the path specified.' This error was suppressed.
    However, the file sits on a share at H:\BASETOOLS\, on both domain controllers and the member server in question. However, despite being able to browse to the file and domain computers and the computer account for the member server having permission to the
    share, I get the error above.
    Is it due to the fact that the drive mapping is done via another gpo and maybe the file is attempting to be accessed by this gpo before the mapping of the drive? Can I influence this order?
    Thanks

    Computer or user configuration? If computer configuration, you MUST use
    an UNC path...

    Processing order of CSEs:
    http://www.gruppenrichtlinien.de/artikel/client-side-extensions-cses/
    Drive Maps is #15, Files is #18. Your issue is the above - use an UNC

    You cannot influence this order. Ok, to be honest, you can - but this
    will severely break other things...

  • 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!

  • Recently, iPhoto will no longer allow my to export photos onto my folders on my desktop. It just says that it is unable to create file. Not sure why this is happening?

    iPhoto is no longer allowing me to export & resize photos into a file on my desktop. It just states that it is Unable to create file on desktop. I'm not sure what this means on how to correct this issue. Any support would be greatly appreciated!

    Then do the following:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot.
    If Fix #1 fails to help continue with:
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto  8.1.2 and later  or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Error no logical path has been specified

    iam transfering inventory balance using standard object goods movement by direct

    no logical path has been specified.can someone answer for this error

    As find in forum -
    You just put any, not used logical file name in your file definition step. LSMW will create this logical file byself und will use when is needed, but you just forget about it in future. Don't forget to recreate this file, when you move your LSMW to test and production systems, it is not created automaticaly there.
    The way you enter logical path and logical name is,
    Within the LSMW option 'Specify Files', Double click on
    'Converted Data' and a popup box will allow you enter
    file name , logical path and logical file.

  • 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>.
