Lsmw converted file path

hi all,
i am loading sales order using lsmw direct input, and find a question. is it a must to specify a logical path and file name for the converted data at step specify file? at first, i didn't specify it and at the last step, i choose the flat file at my desktop in "File on presentation server with a physical file name", not the upper one "File on application server with a logical file name". and the result is "Table name not allowed". does that mean i have to use the logical one? any input will be appreciated.

Hello Daniel Zhou,
It is must to specify the file path in the step "Specify file", here you mentioned your flat file name in "Legacy data - On the PC (frontend)" based on that the system will create logical file path for converted data.
Hope this helps.

Arif Mansuri

Convert file path in application server as link

How can we convert file path in application server as link to send email.
Thanks
Suresh

Your app server folders have a mappable location on your network, e.g,
server\path\filename. Use an HTML anchor tag and build the link with code. You'd be better off storing files on a file server (write to a mapped location from the app server) and link to there (same process).

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!

Logical file path problem in lsmw

Hi folks,
I created logical file path in FILE tcode. its created and assigned physical file path to logical file path.
then i am assigning that logical file path into lsmw step (specify file step).
under specify file i am assigning into import data and convert data.
once read data step completed read data must be save under this physical file but data is not saving under this path.
can any one help me out this..
1.can any one help how to create physical file in file tcode
2.how to assigne that physical file to lsmw step specify file

Hi Srikanth,
There is no need to create the logical file path using the FILE transaction.
Under Specify file step, you need to give your local file path in LEGACY DATA Section.
Please check the below link in using the LSMW step by step.

LSMW :Is it possible to create F4 Help for File path selection

Hi All .,
Please let me know is it possible to create F4 help for file path creation in LSMW .
thanks

Hi,
I don't get it.
In the step " Specify files" you will have the option to pick your flat file which is on the desktop by pressing F4 .
What is that you exactly want??

LSMW Read/Converted File Name

Hi,
Normally when you specify file, a name will be generated for the read and converted file with different extention. Now, is it possible to have a more dynamic way of naming this file? My requirement would be to have the read/converted named differently on each load (without changing the name in LSMW config on each run), for eg. lsmw_read_20022009.read and lsmw_read20022009.conv. In this example, the date is the variable and should change base on system date, so the next load on a different will have a different date. I got some ideas from logical/physical file, but I am not sure how and if its applicable. Any ideas?
Thanks!
cady

regarding the LSMW we have lot of tables , if you chnage the file names in table level based on dates it will fick the files form tables
goto se11 and give the /SAPDMC* then press the F4 you will get 48 tables, if its possible to chnage the file names your probelm is solved....

Converting URL to file path

I have a file in one of the folders of my webapp running in Tomcat. I need to convert the URL to the file to an absolute file path so that I can read it.
The URL looks like
http://localhost:28080/tester/custom/reports/transform.xsl
I tried creating a FIle object:
File file = new File(url.getFile());
But file.getAbsolutePath() returns
C:\tester\custom\reports\transform.xsl
It should be:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\tester\custom\reports\transform.xsl
Any ideas?

ok, i succeeded in using URL to get stream as
follows:
String path = getBaseUrl() + "/" + "custom" + "/"
+ "reports";
String hostname =
InetAddress.getByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHo
stAddress()).getHostName();
String urltest = "http://" + hostname + ":28080" +
path + "/transform.xsl";
URL url = new URL(urltest);
InputStream xsltStream =
url.openConnection().getInputStream();
where getBaseUrl() is a function that return the
context name
But another related question? How do I get the port
number.How do you get the port starting form where? From the URL? If so, URL has a getPort method.

Error while saving the file path

I have come across a problem in LSMW.
In specify files step when I was trying to give the filename either in Presentation server or Application server and then save ,I am getting an error called 'No Logical Path has been specified'. In debugging I can see p_log_path and p_log_file are initial where as p_phys_file_compl has the file which is created automatically with standard naming convention. These 3 fields represents Converted Data files. I think the problem is with settings since the error is not happening to other users. If we double click 'Converted Data' I can see Logical Path and Logical File fields. If I give the same file that is used for converted data it is asking me to create and if we agree then it creates and then we are able to save. So I think there is some setting changes or some other thing happened which at this stage I couldn't find out because I have not changed any settings. So can you please let me know if u have come across the same problem or if u know the solution.

In the <b>specify files path</b> have u specified the paths correctly.

Unable to read lsmw.conv file.

Hi,
While performing the step in LSMW: display converted data, I am getting the error " Unable to read file 'c:\CDD203_SRCLST.lsmw.conv'".
Please Help.
thanks in Advance,
Rajeev

Check the logical file paths we assign in specify file step. If you have not specified the create a logical file path.
The logical file path can be created by type a name of logical path which can be any name and then pressing enter. It will promt you to create it. Create a path and then again perform from read data.
Another option is to remove 'c:\' and just put 'CDD203_SRCLST.lsmw.conv' and then check it will automatically determine the path from where .conv file has to be read.

How to set default file path for save

Hello all,
I'm currently blocked on the below issue and is hoping to gain your help and insights.
We have recently upgraded to InDesign CS6. Now when an INDD file created in an older version of INDD is opened in CS6, all the save dialogs would not default to the location of the original INDD file. Though if the same file is opened in the version of InDesign that created it, the save dialog goes to the proper location by default.
Debugged using our custom plugin as a gate way, and found out that after InDesign CS6 performed the document upgrade/convert, the database for the converted document loses file information. i.e. IDataBase::GetSysFile() returns nil. I think we can figure out some way to get the original file path. For example, we can intercept "kAfterOpenDocSignalResponderService", and get the original file path of the opened file from IDocumentSignalData. Though I haven't yet able to figure out a safe way to set this file path to the document, so that the save dialogs would by default point at this path.
Utils<Facade::IWorkgroupFacade>()->InitDocumentAssetManagement(docRef, filePath) seems to do the right thing, but it seems to be quite intruding, and I'm afraid that it is overkilling and will cause bad side effect for the use case I'm looking for.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to achieve this without implementing/overriding the file save dialog.
Thanks.
-Jeff

You should be able to avoid writing your own open-doc trap by using kDocBoss's IOpenedFileInfo to obtain the original file's path. It seems fairly reliable; the only time I've seen it come up empty is for an opened QuarkXPress document.
I'm afraid I don't know of a sanctioned way to change IDataBase::GetSysFile() without going through the database's SaveAs machinery. Overriding this behavior might only be possible by replacing the regular Save dialog with your own.
But if InitDocumentAssetManagement() is helping, maybe the workgroup/asset management approach is worth pursuing. Have you tried spying on that call in the debug app? You might be able to isolate and use one of the commands that it's invoking (IAMSPManager::BindAsset() / kSetAssetAttributesCmdBoss?) without all of the side-effects of the higher-level call.

Difference between logical file path and physical file path

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why logical file path is required and why physical file path is required? What exactly is the difference bet them?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
PS.

Hi,
The function module FILE_GET_NAME convert a logical path into its corresponding physical path.
The advantage of using logical pathes within your applications is obivous:
If you need to change the physical path you just adjust it within transaction FILE yet no changes are required to your application.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/25/ab3a57df3b11d189fc0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
The file names that you use in ABAP statements for processing files are physical names. This means that they must be syntactically correct filenames for the operating system under which your R/3 System is running. Once you have created a file from an ABAP program with a particular name and path, you can find the same file using the same name and path at operating system level.
Since the naming conventions for files and paths differ from operating system to operating system, ABAP programs are only portable from one operating system to another if you use the tools described below.
To make programs portable, the R/3 System has a concept of logical filenames and paths. These are linked to physical files and paths. The links are created in special tables, which you can maintain according to your own requirements. In an ABAP program, you can then use the function module FILE_GET_NAME to generate a physical filename from a logical one.
Maintaining platform-independent filenames is part of Customizing. For a full description, choose Tools ® Business Engineer ® Customizing, followed by
Implement. projects ® SAP Reference IMG. On the next screen, choose Basis Components System Administration ® Platform-independent File Names.
For a more detailed description of the function module FILE_GET_NAME, enter its name on the initial screen of the Function Builder and choose Goto Documentation. On the next screen, choose Function module doc.
Another way of maintaining platform-independent filenames is to use the Transaction FILE. The following sections provide an overview of the transaction.
To create a logical filename, choose Logical filename definition, client-independent from the Navigation group box in Transaction FILE, then choose New entries. You define logical filenames
You can either define a logical filename and link it to a logical path (as displayed here), or you can enter the full physical filename in the Physical file field. In the latter case, the logical filename is only valid for one operating system. The rules for entering the complete physical filename are the same as for the definition of the physical path for the logical file. To display further information and a list of reserved words, choose Help.
If you link a logical path to a logical file, the logical file is valid for all syntax groups that have been maintained for that logical path. The filename specified under Physical file replaces the reserved word in the physical paths that are assigned to the logical path. To make the name independent of the operating system, use names that begin with a letter, contain up to 8 letters, and do not contain special characters.

File Path Visible When I Hover Over Images

Hi,
I converted a PowerPoint document to a PDF. The PowerPoint document includes images (GIF, JPEG). When I hover my cursor over the image in the PDF I created I can see the file path C:\User\User Name\Photo\File Name.JPG.
Is there a setting in the PDF that I can 'unselect' so I don't see the file path when I hover over images?
Thanks,

How to remove file path location listings from photos and objects in Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF?

After converting a windows-based Powerpoint 2007 presentation to an Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF, the file path location of all photos and objects are shown in a dialogue box when the cursor is moved over the image as seen in this screenshot below. How can I stop this from happening and remove this feature on my pdf documents?

I saw that referenced on a forum, but it does not seem to address the issue I am having.
As per Adobe Acrobat X Standard * What’s new, the equivalent to the "Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information" utility found in Acrobat X Standard is the same as the "Document > Examine Document" feature in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Those tools seem to cover meta data, book marks, hidden text, and deleted or cropped content, but not the file path listings that appear on images and objects converted from Powerpoint presentations and other MS Office programs.
I have reviewed the settings used while creating a pdf, and have also tried the “Advanced > Preflight tool”, but could not find anything to apply to the issue at hand.
Thus, this issue has not been resolved, but seems like it should be an easy fix that anyone who publishes pdf documents would want to use to publish clean, professional documents without anyone seeing the file path location of every object and image shown in the document on their hard drive.

How to get file path in the form \\filer01\dir\index.htm

Hi,
after selecting a file using the FileChooser dialog, i would like to convert the file path like "H:\index.htm" into a form like "\\filer01\dir\index.htm".
On my system, the logical device name H:\ is mapped to a directory on a file server "filer01".
Is there any possibility to do this conversion?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
i dont think java has a way of figuring out the actual mappings for a drive, you can retrive all drives that are present using the following code
File [] roots = File.listRoots();
then you could just iterate through the roots some of which may be mapped (but you cant figure out which is mapped and which is not).
So i guess the best way to do it is to have a Properties file with key,value mappings. for eg
h:\\, \\file01\dir\..
and then read the value from the Properties file, now if you want this for accessing a resource across the network you dont require to get the actual mapping, you can still use the mapped drive as you would use a unmapped drive.
hope this helpz
