LSMW X-files

Hello,
I am working with LSMW in order to post AP open items by means of FB01 t-code. Although HBKID field is set in the recording ready to be fulfilled and, during the batch input execution is supposed to be fulfilled with the values that I assigned, it appears empty when I go through the documents created.
¿Can anybody explain me the reason for it?
Greetings,
P.S.: I have made sure that the field mapping and conversion rules were done right.

Hi Arnaldo,
In the step Display Converted Data, check the field HBKID contains data or not.
If not then definetly field mapping or source field step is missing something.

Could not open LSMW conversion file for Material Master uplo

Hi,
When i am uploading Material Master data the error says Could not open the file proj_subproj_obj.lsmw.conv file.
I could read the conversion data in LSMW but there is a problem with session creation. I have created a Job and assigned a variant to it.
Please sugget me to resolve this.
Thanks.

The following files must be in the path described by
the environment variable "LIBPATH":
Check your env variables...
LIBPATH path must contain quoted libraries,
libicuuc30.a, libicudata30.a, libicui18n30.a

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 -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.

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.
Kind regards,
Mark

Lsmw- specify files step

In lsmw im not able to get any our put in the step read data it is showing me error not able to read file.
i check with the files in apllication server as well as the path i specified in lsmw .they both are same with out any case sensitive.
step specify files:
so now import data
and convert data are there in the same step.
now when i specify the import data ,it is throwing me an information message this file has already been assign to another object.
it is showing the same for convert data as well
so now my question is due to this i may not be able to read the data or what ?
thanks in advance
Aru
reward points given .

Hi this can happen because of 2 reasons
1) If you are using 2 structures ( Header and Item ) then their are some fields which should be in both structures . And those field should have same value
You can check this in step ( Generate read programme ) . At this step there is statement like
loop at HEADER_ITEM_DATA
where OLD_SERVTICKET_NUM =
HEADER_DATA-OLD_SERVTICKET_NUM
in the above example OLD_SERVTICKET_NUM is a field which both structures should have same value
2) Second reason can be that number of fields in your flat file might not be same in your structures fields which you have defined in 3rd step
Plz check
Reward points
Thanks

LSMW "Specify Files"

Hi,
In the LSMW steps, when I am using SPecify Files , I want to set values of 'File Content' , 'Delimiter', 'File Structure',
'File Type','Code Page' along with the Path and Name of a excel file. Can you tell me what will be these values when the
file is an EXCEL file.
Useful answer will be rewarded.
Regards,
Tanmay

hi Tanmay,
for uploading data from excel sheet you have to save your excel file in ".csv" format. i.e. "csv-comma delimited" or "text with tab delimited".
FIRST SAVE YOUR EXCEL SHEET WITH ",csv" format
In the step SPECIFY FILES->SELECT LEGACY DATA ON pC->select create button on toll bar->specify path->give name
here only u can specify 'File Content' as data from one structure , 'Delimiter as comma', 'File Structure' as filed order matches source structure definition,
'File Type' as Record end marker(text file),'Code Page' as ASCII.
if useful reward points

LSMW specify files error

A little help gurus
When I save the .txt file into the LSMW, an error comes out that says "File Name 'Converted Data' : Max 45 Characters . Remaining data saved."
What does this mean? What impact does it have in LSMW?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
For example if the field name in sap, say name of the vendor is only 35 characters and you have maintained in the flat file 40 characters. the system will through a warning saying that the data is exceeding my 5 characters so the sap system will reduce that 40 characters to 35(means the system will cut the last 5 characters) and load it.
It is recommended that the field name should not be over the size of the field length provided my SAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran

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

LSMW - excel file Upload

Hi,
I want to upload the excel file through LSMW, pls let me know how to do this.
I have converted the excel file to .csv and .txt file and can upload the fiel, but not able to upload when trying to do with .xls file.
Pls let me know.
Thanks,
Raju
Moderator message: please search for available information, consult LSMW documentation.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Oct 15, 2010 4:23 PM

Hi,
It's no possible to upload directly Excel file in LSMW.
You must transform to an flat File.
There are 6 delimiters
- No Separator
- Tabulator
- Semi-Colon
- Comma
- Blanks
- Others
or
In txn LSMW, then create an object for your purpose. The txn can guide you to create the template.
The Excel file needs to be converted to a text file and uploaded through LSMW. If necessary, you may need to change the input file so that the column layout matches with the LSMW object.
or
But in essence this is what you need to do:
Create a headers datafile, and a lines datafile.
Go through the routine of setting up LSMW to read both files, one the subordinate of the other.
Link files together using "Fields with identical names" button (turns pink!)
When you specify your structure relations, make the header datafile relate to the header structures, and your lines datafile relate to the lines structures.
LSMW will work out the loops for you!
Hope it helps.
