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 .
6)   Maintain Fixed Values,translations ,user defined routines.

LSMW LOGICAL PATH not set error

Hi,
    when i save an lsmw the error is coming as logical path not set. I guess this is for the CONV and READ files. Can ne one tell where can we speicfy this path. Right now we have to manually store the paths for these. Where in the settings can we defualt this path for these files.

Check the Specify Files Step:
Files
        Legacy Data          On the PC (Frontend)
            Input File                     D:\Documents and Settings\file4.txt
                                           Data for One Source Structure (Table)
                                           Separator Tabulator
                                           Field Order Matches Source Structure Definition
                                           With Record End Indicator (Text File)
                                           Code Page ASCII
        Legacy Data          On the R/3 server (application server)

            Imported Data                  /usr/sap/tmp/ZHR.lsmw.read
        Converted Data       File for Converted Data (Application Server)
            Converted Data                 /usr/sap/tmp/ZHR.lsmw.conv

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

Logical Path not defined..?

Hi,
I recently got CRM 5.0 installed on my system. Very first step of 'Maintain Business Partner' it says, 'Logical Path not defined'.
Tried to open activities, says' Logical system not defined'
Please suggest what is the problem & how to rectify this.
A prompt reply wil be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Anil

Hi ,
You need to Define Logical System for your System to Allow you to Execute Actions
Path:SAP Web Application Server>Business Intelligence>Links to Other Source Systems>General Connection Settings::
In this step, you can define the logical systems in your distributed system.
Caution:Logical systems are defined cross-client.
Activities
1. To create a logical system, choose Edit -> New Entries.
2. Enter a name for the logical system that you want to create.
3. Enter a description of the logical system.
Enter the Logical System that you are using,

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

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

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.

Iam getting the path not specified error,but the jboss was running smoothly

Apps recycle when memory limit exceeded path not specified

How can I find what path it is looking for so I can fix the path? I am getting this error on all of my app servers. I have checked all my app pools inside of all my app servers and none of them have any sort of maximum. Some do have times set but nothing
even close to a max.
Title: Application pools recycle when memory limits are exceeded.
Severity: 0 - Rule Execution Failure
Category: Performance
Explanation: The system cannot find the path specified.
Remedy: In the Internet Information Services Manager, uncheck any memory-based maximums set for the application pools named above. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142692".

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got the error on all of your app servers.
It is caused by that Application pools are configured to recycle when memory limits are exceeded.
You need to change the application pool recycling settings in Internet Information Services (IIS).
In addition, you can disable the rule or install the app pools/services on every server in the farm.
More information:
Application pools recycle when memory limits are exceeded (SharePoint 2013)

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 - 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.

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
