Mapping a logical path to a real unix path in sqlplus.

hi everyone
Please, I trying to run a windows application that uses an oracle ex db over wine in a linux box .
The scenario is:
Linux -> wine -> win App -> Oracle xe(linux version)! So the win app will be dealing with a native linux version of oracle xe.
At certain point some sql script need to be executed by sqlplus.
The command is: sqlplus /NOLOG @F:\some\path\script.sql.
The problem is that I have F:/ mapped in wine to /some/path but it is not mapped in sqlplus, so sqlplus cannot find the script. My question is, is that a way (by using an environment variable or by any other way) to create a
map like that F:\ -> /some/path, so every time sqlplus try to execute a script in F:\ it looks at /some/path?
Great regards
Guilherme Longo

Hi,
I do not have answer.
I just like know why you run database with Wine ? You can install Linux native one

  • Physical and Logical path

    Hello,
    what is a physical file and logical file in PATH table of SAP.
    Plz help,
    aafaq

    Hi aafaqhusain,
    1. logical file path is nothing but a    IDENTIFIER/STRING/NAME
    = the name by which
       we refer to that file.
      (in our programs)
    2. The physical location of that file,
       may change from server to server,
      or from time to time.
      (hence, we do not use hardcoded physical path,
       in our programs,
       but instead use this MAPPING of logical path,
      to the physical path)
    regards,
    amit m.

  • Mapping logical path valid name

    We have existing mappings with "." in logical path name such
    as www.test.com
    However, when we try to create a new mapping with "." in them
    we get a coldfusion error that states:
    Please enter a valid name for the mapping
    Is it possible to include characters such as "." in a logical
    path? If so, how? If not, how did the existing mappings get
    setup?

    Mappings with be the full path on the server, such as
    c:\website\sitefiles\ and the name is just one word normally (
    /mapping ). URLs are not a good thing to try to map.

  • Logical path creation for an InfoSpoke

    Hi,
    I have an InfoSpoke for which I need to create a Logical Path. All I know is it involves some commands in MSDOS may be. Could anyone please let me know the procedure for the same?
    Thanks.

    Hi Bobs,
             Go to File trnx -> drill down the Logical File Path Definition -> Clcik on  "Create a logical file path" in middle of the screen  ->
    Then it will prompt for details of logical path you want to create
    EX: you can specify in the same lines as give below
    Logical path        ZXXXXXXXXXX                  
    Name                 Description of ZXXXXXXXXX
    Syntax group      UNIX     Unix compatible
    Physical path     /ABC/XYZ/<FILENAME>
    ZXXXXXXXXX is the logical path you want to create
    /ABC/XYZ/<FILENAME> -> /ABC/XYZ/ is the physical path in your server where your files will stored. dont forget to give filename within <> as shown above.
    Just save after that

  • 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 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.

  • Logical file name or logical path name incorrectly defined

    Dear All,
    We are doing archival in our IDES for test purpose before we do it to our Production.
    Steps Performed
    Copied AM_ASSET archive object to ZAM_ASSET
    Logical Path
      Logical path    ZAM_ASSET
      Name            Asset
      Syntax group    UNIX       Unix compatible
      Physical path   /archive/test/<FILENAME>
    Logical File Name
       Logical file    ZAMASSET
       Name            Asset
       Physical file   FI_<MONTH>_<DAY>.txt
       Data format     ASC
       Applicat.area   AM
       Logical path    ZAM_ASSET
    But when we run the WRITE though SARA , in the job log we get the following
    Logical file name or logical path name incorrectly defined
    When generating a file name for an archive file that is to be created, the system determined that the logical file name FIAA_ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE or the logical path name ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH  was defined incorrectly.
    But we have maintained a Logical name  ZAMASSET , so we are unable to change the location of archived file and as well as the format.
    So is there any setting we need to maintain apart from the logical file name and logical file path.
    Suggestions are highly appreciated.
    Thanks in anticipation

    hi,
    follow this steps :
    - transaction SARA
    - enter authorization objects, eg SD_VBAK
    - hit button CUSTOMIZING
    - Archiving Object-Specific Customizing: execute Technical Setting
    - field Logical File Name enter or select ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE
    - leave CONTENT REPOSITORY as blank if you are not using 3rd party for storing (eg. IBM Tivoli)
    - back to customizing
    - from Basis Customizing, execute : Cross-Client File Names/Paths
    - on Logical FIle Path Definition, highlight (select) ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH on the right pane
    - double click on the Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path on the left pane
    - double click on OS used, eg. UNIX, define Physical Path where archive file (on WRITE process) will be stored
    - save changes made
    - double click Logical File Definition, Cross Client on the left pane
    - double click ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE on the right pane
    - make sure that logical path is already set to ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH
    - save changes made
    this setting also can be done using transaction FILE
    we have experienced on this case using SAP standard archiving (SARA, SARI) and everything is fine with this setting above.
    hope it help you.

  • Getting physical path from logical path

    Hi,
    I am using the FM FILE_GET_NAME  to get the physical path for a given logical path which I have specified within the FILE transaction.
    The code works fine when I run the program in foreground but it doesn't work when I run it in background.
    Can anyone advise on why this is and how I can get this to work correctly in background aswell as foregroud.
    The ultimate goal is to be able to poll a directory on the SAP server (which could be windows or unix) and to process the files in there.
    Thanks,
    Ruby

    Thank-you.
    I would prefer to to use a default path if possible. The reason I defined a logical path was so that this could be defined outside the program.
    Are you saying I cannot use this FM in background at all?
    Is there another FM which will do the same thing but will work in background?
    What I am trying to do is create a program which will run in the background polling a particular directory and then process the files in this directory if it finds any.
    Do you know how I could achieve this using logical paths rather than using hardcoded paths?

  • Struts logical path problem

    HI,
    I am using struts in my web application deployed on OC4J server.
    I am hitting a problem that the "sub page" gets incorrect url.The details are as follows:
    in my struts config the mapping is defined as :
    1) "parent.do" is mapped to /WEB-INF/mypages/parent.jsp
    2)"child.do" is mapped to /WEB-INF/mypages/child.jsp
    My page "parent.jsp" contains two frames one having some a page with static images and the other frame having the src as "child.do"
    Now if I invoke the http://myserver/myapp/parent.do
    the first frame loads correctly while for second it throws an error 404 that "http://myserver/myapp/WEB-INF/mypages/child.do" not found.
    It seems to me that that the subpage does not get the correct information about the context.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards.

    When you are not in development, you can assign a different physical path to the same logical path in your staging system via the file transaction. As long as you use the logical path name in your code, it will be interpreted correctly with the setup in the system.

    Using Logical Files in ABAP Programs
    To create a physical file name from a logical file name in your ABAP programs, use the function module FILE_GET_NAME. To insert the function module call in your program, choose Edit ® Insert statement from the ABAP Editor screen. A dialog box appears. Select Call Function and enter FILE_GET_NAME. The parameters of this function module are listed below.
    Import parameters
    Parameters
    Function
    CLIENT
    The maintenance tables for the logical files and paths are client-dependent. Therefore, the desired client can be imported. The current client is stored in the system field SY-MANDT.
    LOGICAL_FILENAME
    Enter the logical file name in upper case letters that you want to convert.
    OPERATING_SYSTEM
    You can import any operating system that is contained in the list in Transaction SF04 (see Assigning Operating Systems to Syntax Groups). The physical file name will be created according to the syntax group to which the operating system is linked. The default parameter is the value of the system field
    SY-OPSYS.
    PARAMETER_1
    PARAMETER_2
    If you specify these import parameters, the reserved words  in the physical path names will be replaced by the imported values.
    USE_PRESENTATION
    _SERVER
    With this flag you can decide whether to import the operating system of the presentation server instead of the operating system imported by the parameter OPERATING_SYSTEM.
    WITH_FILE_EXTENSION
    If you set this flag unequal to SPACE, the file format defined for the logical file name is appended to the physical file name.
    Export Parameters
    Parameters
    Function
    EMERGENCY_FLAG
    If this parameter is unequal to SPACE, no physical name is defined in the logical path. An emergency physical name was created from table FILENAME and profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL.
    FILE_FORMAT
    This parameter is the file format defined for the logical file name. You can use this parameter, for example, to decide in which mode the file should be opened.
    FILE_NAME
    This parameter is the physical file name that you can use with the ABAP statements for working with files.
    Exception Parameters
    Parameters
    Function
    FILE_NOT_FOUND
    This exception is raised if the logical file is not defined.
    OTHERS
    This exception is raised if other errors occur.
    Suppose the logical file MYTEMP and the logical path TMP_SUB are defined as in the preceding topics and we have the following program:
    DATA: FLAG,
          FORMAT(3),
          FNAME(60).
    WRITE SY-OPSYS.
    CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
         EXPORTING
              LOGICAL_FILENAME        = 'MYTEMP'
              OPERATING_SYSTEM        = SY-OPSYS
              PARAMETER_1             = '01'
         IMPORTING
              EMERGENCY_FLAG          = FLAG
              FILE_FORMAT             = FORMAT
              FILE_NAME               = FNAME
         EXCEPTIONS
              FILE_NOT_FOUND          = 1
              OTHERS                  = 2.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      WRITE: /  'Flag      :', FLAG,
             / 'Format    :', FORMAT,
             / 'Phys. Name:', FNAME.
    ENDIF.
    The output appears as follows:
    HP-UX
    FLAG :
    FORMAT : BIN
    Phys. Name: /tmp/TEST01
    In this example, the R/3 System is running under the operating system HP-UX, which is member of the syntax group UNIX. The logical file name MYTEMP with the logical path TMP_SUB is converted into a physical file name /tmp/TEST01 as defined for the syntax group UNIX. The field FNAME can be used in the further flow of the program to work with file TEST01 in directory /tmp.
    Suppose we have a logical file name EMPTY with the physical file name TEST, connected to a logical path that has no specification of a physical path. If you replace the EXPORTING parameter 'MYTEMP' with 'EMPTY' in the above example, the output appears as follows:
    HP-UX
    FLAG : X
    FORMAT :
    Phys. Name: /usr/sap/S11/SYS/global/TEST
    The system created an emergency file name, whose path depends on the installation of the current R/3 System.

  • When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?

    When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?
    For instance I view an apartment ad which has various pictures attached. It says click on the pictures to see an enlarged version. FF opens the page however most of the page is blank and the picture appears to be pushed to the right side of the page and shows as if it has been scrunched agains the right side not showing the whole picture.
    What Can I do to correct this?

    I see that you have increased some font sizes considerably.
    * font.size.fixed.x-western: 20
    * font.size.variable.x-western: 22
    This can effect margins when the website specifies these as em values and cause content to shift.
    If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

  • What are Logical patha nd physical paths?

    Hi all,
    When i am uploading Material master data through LSMW i am getting Error like The Logical file name LSMW_* ....is not created.
    What are this Logical files and i know these are Created by FILE tCode.
    My question is why we need this file and it asking Logical path aslo and what is this Logical path and physcal path??
    i did't not understand in SAP help link .
    Thanks ,
    Madhu

    Hello,
    Logical File path name is used to Map the physical path of the application server.
    You can also access the file from the application server by directly passing the physical path as you convert the logical file name to physical path in your program.
    I know you have read the SAP help documentation, but still may be this link can also help you.
