LSMW logical file

Hello Gurus,
I'm creating the transfer programs via LSMW, and I have fo
und problems with the source list and inforecord program (RM06IBI0), For this case in the step "specify file" it's mandatory assign the logical path and the logical file in the converted data.
I the customer systems it doesn't work, for example if I select the logical path TMP and logical file A, I have the following error:
Logica path TMP doesn' not point to a directory.
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?
Thanks

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!

LSMW Logical file 'CS_BI_BOM_CREATE' is not assigned to physical file

Hi all,
I am creating LSMW tool for BOM by standard batch input program.
In the specify files push button i m getting this error
Logical file 'CS_BI_BOM_CREATE' is not assigned to physical file 'LSMW_C_MDM.119_MAT_BOM_001.lsmw.conv'
Message no. /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060045
anybody know how to proceed?
If i am going to Tcode - file and setting this one then i require a change request.
Is this the right way to proceed by changing it in "file" tcode.
Tell me all possible options.

Hi,
double click on row Converted data with file 'LSMW_C_MDM.119_MAT_BOM_001.lsmw.conv'
enter in field Logical Path: LSMW_C_MDM.119_MAT_BOM_001.lsmw.conv
enter in field Logical File: LSMW_C_MDM.119_MAT_BOM_001.lsmw.conv
and SAVE
the second option is go in transaction file and create the missing 'LSMW_C_MDM.119_MAT_BOM_001.lsmw.conv'

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.

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

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.

Hope this helps.

In LSMW while executing the specify file step logical file name and path.

Hi ,
In LSMW , while executing the specify file step, logical file name and path is mandatory field to entry, but in some of other LSMW objects, these fields are not mandatory one, i want to know is it possible for me to do hide the logical file name and path field in specify file step.
thanks
Md nisar

Hi,
For some Transactions while executing the Specify file step Logical File and Logical Path are mandatory.
In this case Converted file will be stored in the application server. According to the specified Logical File and Logical path.
Hope this will help you....

LSMW -Specify files -No logical path specified

HI,
While i specify a file in lsmw in specify files from pc front end in legacy data and i try to save. It says " no logical path specified " in the message bar.
kindly help me in this issue.
i am unable to go further as I cant specify files.
Thank in advance

Hi Srivasta
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.
cheers

LSMW accept file from logical path?

Dear All,
Can LSMW designs for conversions accept file from logical path?
The requirement is during actual conversion execution -the conversion team can store files anywhere they want, configure logical file names/paths and use our LSMWs without needing program modifications.
Kindly let me know.
Thanks in Advance

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

Hello,
In LSMW, I do not want to create a logical file name for each project. I would like the logical file name to automatically assign the physical file to the *.lsmw.conv of the project being executed. Is there a way of doing that? If so, could someone share?
Regards, Dean.

not possible to create the logical file name to physical file name automatiically.
because the logical file name created like PROJECT name + SUB PROJECT name +OBJECT NAME .*.lsmw.conv
if you change the object name the file will be change....

LSMW - Logical Path for PIR

I am working on creating LSMW - sample conversion for PIR. I struck up in the u201CSpecify filesu201D step by creating Logical Path.
Step 1 : I have done it thru T.Code : FILE in that first by creating Logical File path.
Step 2 : Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path
I have maintained Syntax Group as WINDOWS NT and given the Physical path as C:\TEMP\<FILENAME>
Step 3 : Logical File Name Definition , Cross Client
I have maintained Logical File, Name, Physical File , Data Format ,App Area , Logical Path.
After maintaining I am getting the error message u201C LOGICAL PATH PUR_INFO_RECORD DOES NOT EXISTu201D.
Please help me out to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Mani

specific to LSMW there is OSS note 753511 that describes what to do.
If you have authority for x-client customizing then you can directly type a name for logical path and file name
e.g. LSMWLOGPATH and LSMWLOGFILE, hit enter and LSMW will create the logical path and file name for you.and you dont need to do it with transaction FILE.
Go into the step "Specify files".
place cursor onto line "converted data"
click change button.
you get a pop-up with the logical path.
Just hit enter and LSMW will create the path itself.

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.
Regards,
Arif Mansuri

Logical file / physical file

Hi,
can anybody tell how logical file is different from physical file during the lsmw direct input method.
I am trying to upload Purchase-info data through a source file on presentation server.
I am done with import data, read data, convert data after this in the option
create batch input method, it is asking a file .
when i use f4 here i can find many options in which one is
" usr/sap/tmp<filename>"
these entries can be find in transaction 'FILE'.
let me know if somebody has info regarding my query.
regards
satheesh

Hi satheesh,
1. Logical / physcial.
2. The actual (physical)
   PATH NAMES in a computer
   can be quite long.
3. These paths can be different
   in different servers.
4. To make them unique,
   (by using logical names)
   , the concept of logical has come.
Its only PATH which is always logical.
the filename, is always actual.
5. just like in ASP, IIS Server,
   we map
ACTUAL DIRECTORY <----
> ALIAS FOR WEB
6. In the same way
ACTUAL DIRECTORY <----
> LOGICAL NAMES
7. Just like we MAP a new hard disk name
   to a path on the network.

amit m.
