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!

  • Photoshop CC 2014 - The file can not be saved in path because an error has occurred

    Hello,
    I need again help regarding this issue. Sometimes but very often I receive an error, trying to save a PSD file, the error is: "The file can not be saved in <path> because an error has occurred". After that it is not possible to save the file in any format, using save or save in dialog. The only way to rescue the result is, to save for web as an jpeg. This error occours often using Topaz or NIK filter and until now only in PS-CC 2014. My workflow looks like this:
    - Open NEF RAW file in Brdige
    - Settings in ACR and give it into PS by clicking OK in ACR
    - In PS doing a adjust some levels
    - press SHIFT+STRG+ALT+E for a new summary layer
    - Uing Topaz Adjust on the new level with 65% opacity
    - press SHIFT+STRG+ALT+E for a new summary layer
    - Using Topaz DeNoise on the new layer
    - pres STRG+i and resize the image to 1200x797
    - Using Topaz InFocus on the same layer as DeNoise
    - create a vignette with brightness adjustlayer
    After this workflow in nearly 90% it is not possible to save the file as PSD or something else, only to save for web as JPG. If I save the file after opening the RAW in PS and after every layer with Topaz Filter, I can save the file when I am done. Same issue occurs using NIK Filters in that way.
    I tried to optimize the performance by using this guide: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html doesn’t solve the issue.
    I re- and installed all Adobe Products more than three times, doesn't solve the issu.
    After that I ordered a new SSD drive and insall Windows 7 64bit inkl. All latest hotfixes, patches and drivers. I downloaded the newest Adobe Versions and the newest filter sets from Topaz and NIK. Doesn’t solve the issue.
    This is my rig:
    Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H mainboard
    Intel Core i7 4770k
    32GB Corsair RAM
    250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD Drive
    nVidia Geforce GTX770
    During my tests I took the same RAW File and created nearly 20 adjustment layers and summary layers, without using Topaz or NIK filters. No problem, I was able to save the file as PSD file. 
    From my point of view, actually, the error occurs only when I am using Topaz or NIK filters. Both supports doesn’t know the issue and if I search the web, I can’t find more then me. It seemed to depend on my settings, my rig or something else, perhaps a cache is overflowed or something like this. Adobe telephone support can’t help because I said I use a third party filter. But it occurs with two different manufactures…
    So please guys, help me to figure out why this error occurs in my system.
    Thanks in Advance and best regards,
      Michael

    Update: I tried several times to reproduce the error, actually it dosen't occur. I changed nothing on my system, without reboot it twice. This is what I said in my beginning times: it occurs sometimes but often. I will keep you up to date.

    Hi.
    In file txn,
    click on "Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client" from the left.
    Then click position and check for your logical file name.
    If you dont get it, it means you need to create it. You can click on New Entries to create.

  • LSMW - Create Logical File Name so that the physical file name is automatic

    I create via transaction FILE and SARA ( checking the cutomizing against SAP notes) a new logical path ZLSMW and logical path ZLSMW, with transacion AOBJ I relate all to a object.
    But I continue with the same error.
    I test the LSMW in another systems, and it work I select any logical path and any logical file and !! it work !!
    It seems something related with the administration systems, something missing in the system of the customer and not in other systems,,,,,but ¿what?

    This works fine when i click the action link from the report instead of the exported pdf.
    Any pointers?

    It has been a while since I have checked this. Sorry for any delay. We have attempted to rearrange items however have had no luck.
    On small break through we have is that we have a custom link setup using Microsoft IIS on our server so we can access the application from outside of our network rather than just internally. We have found that we only have the print/export issues when using this external link so there may be an issue with our IIS configuration. Just throwing that one out there in case anyone has had a similiar issue with IIS configuration and found a fix.

  • Archiving : Change of Logical File Name & physical path

    Hello friends,
    We are doing archiving for a Z* archiving object.
    We run a write job(not delete job till now) for this archiving object and it created archive files in .../SYS/GLOBAL directory as was expected from settings of Logical File Name and hence physical path corresponding to it. So far no problem..
    Now, requirement is to change this path and for this i created a new Logical File Name with a different physical path.
    My concern is, about already archived data in older path. Should i only run delete job for that session ?
    Or should i copy the archive files to new path and then start delete job OR do a write job once again..
    please suggest.
    thanks
    ashish

    Hello Juan,
    Ok, i can copy the files, those are not too many as we did it only for 2 months selection.
    Can i go for write job again for same selection ? If yes, probably it will create a new session.. correct ? and then i will go for deletion for new session.
    If this is also correct way, i want to do this.. as till now this has been one for only 2 months and we are going to do for 8 yrs.
    One more question, will the be any problem for having 2 sessions for same selection.. means 2 write or archive job for same selection.
    thanks

  • How to find the physical path of a file

    Usually, one can use absFileNmae() method to find the path of a file in Java. The problem is that it may only return a mapped path when a Servlet or JSP is running in a special server. For example, when I run a servlet "MyProgram" in JRun, absFileName() only returns "c:\JRun\jsm-default\MyProgram", which is just a mapped path, not a real physical path.
    By the way, in ASP, one can use server.mapPath("MyASPProgram.asp") to obtain the real physical path of the file.
    Your solution is welcome.

  • 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>.

  • LSMW - Logical Path/File - No logical path has been specified

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a LSMW with the RM06EEI0 direct input program for ME21N transaction.
    At the SpecifyFiles step I get the error message "No logical path has been specified".
    My dilemmas are:
    1. How can I solve this error? Is the FILE transaction only solution? If yes, where and how I must define the logical path/file?
    2. Why in the case of the Batch Input Recording LSMW Method this files are created automatically? (I can see them in the AL11 transaction and I didn't define them by myself).
    3. Why on other system this error is just an warning message? If you look at this tutorial  http://****************/Tutorials/LSMW/PO/Page4.htm at Step7.g. you can see that there is no need of defining the file/path in FILE transaction.
    More info about the system I am working in:
    SAP ECC 6.0.
    LSMW 4.0.0. Version.
    Thank you.
    Daniela

    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,
    Sunil

  • 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

    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.

  • Create logical file path and read it in main program

    Hello Experts,
    My requirement is, I have to read files from application server.
    File path/ Directory is different in different system (systid). i have to read all files starting with (xyz*) from mentioned directory.
    This path i must define in logical path.
    Following are the steps i followed.
    1)   In FILE (TCODE) i have created a logical path and assigned a physical path to it.
    2)   I have created logical file ( I am not sure about this, as i dont have to create logical file, i just need to read file from above path starting with xyz*,  but FM FILE_GET_NAME requires logical file name so i have created it).
    3) I will pass logical file name to FM FILE_GET_NAME and recieve physical file path(with file name which i can ignore).
    these all steps i found on SDN. but its not working.
    FM FILE_GET_NAME is always returning same file path ( Not even close to what i have defined ).
    I can not read data from Table path as it will return physical path as it is, but i need it replaced with system id.
    Any suggestion will be really helpful.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Amar

    Hi Amar,
    one difficulty defining physical path name is to know the right Syntax group.
    For example if you habe OS Linux, you need Syntax Group UNIX here. In Table OPSYSTEM you can see, which OS (OPSYS) needs which FILESYS (Syntax Group).
    If you always get a wrong physical path, this may be caused ba a wrong choice of the Syntax Group. Only the correct one will lead to the correct path.
