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 : 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
Message was edited by: hao fuHi,
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,

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 - source file from Logical Path and Files?
Hi,
When specifing the source file (legacy data) you want to use to load from - you can choose a file from the application server.
For the application server file does anyone know is there anyway that you can use a logical path and file to represent this source file?
I do not see this option in LSMW and am surprised at this as it necessitates changing the LSMW in each target system.
Thanks in advance.

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?
thanqIn 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.

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.

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 nisarHi,
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: 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

BPEL File Adapter Logical Path Issue
I am trying to write the BPEL Error Messages using a file adapter. But I could not parameterize the logical directory. I need a solution of changing it in the BPEL console after deploying it
I am Invoking a FileAdapter Web service using logical direcotry, in the FileService partnerlink I set the file_loc property with type"LogicalDirectory" and set the value to " D:/BPEL_Errors" etc. This is working fine but except in the BPEL Console I could not edit it, All the Partner Link properties seems to be read only and not editable. I tried creating a user property for the BPEL process which can be editable but How do I refer this user property in partner link since I cannot use XPATH expression there?.
I guess this should be a very generic problem all I am looking for is parameterizing the File Location. Any Ideas?
Thanks,
ChitraThanks James. It would be really nice if the first option works, do you have any idea why its not editable. I am having the following in bpel.xml
<partnerLinkBinding name="FileService">
<property name="wsdlLocation">FileService.wsdl</property>
<property name="BPEL_LOG">D:\JDeveloper\jdev\mywork\BPEL_LOG</property>
When I deploy the above, In the console I see BPEL_LOG as non editable field. Is am doing anything wrong?.
Regarding the second option , I guess you are talking about modifying the Outbound message header by adding a new property called directory, as mentioned in the following link.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28994/adptr_file.htm#CACFFAHI
Since there are many bpel processes which use the fileservice, I need to edit the fileAdapterOutboundHeader.wsdl in multiple places. Please let me know whether I can make the first option to work -
Error no logical path has been specified
iam transfering inventory balance using standard object goods movement by direct
input method .when iam uploading file at step 7 specify files iam getting error as
no logical path has been specified.can someone answer for this errorAs 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.
Re: LSMW : Unable to Specify Files . Logical path incorrect ?
Hope this may help you.

LSMW problem (Specify files)
Hi Friends
I try to specify file in LSMW (from local PC).
<b>Legacy Data On the PC (Frontend)</b>
When I save this step I get error like "No Logical Path Specified".
What should I do to correct this problem. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
HariSrikanth thanks.
When I check logical path & file for converted data, those fields are mandatory fields. There is now value assigned, so I get this error. Now I assign logical path & file which already defined in system.
For the lofical path, when I check in FILE transaction it has physical path as /usr/sap/DEV/SYS/global/<FILENAME>.
But when I assign this logical path in LSMW (converted data)..I get error message like "Logical path does not point to physical directory"
What should I do in this case.
Please explain me.
Thanks

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,
Manispecific 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. -
hi friends,
i have been uploading using the direct input method in lsmw.it is requiring the logical path and the logical file to be given.i tried to create them using the transaction FILE.but while using that in LSMW it is giving error stating that logical path doesn't point to the physical directory.can any how let me know how to create a logical file and logical path.
thanks in advance.
