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 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.

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
Regards
Sunil

Logical Path and File Name

Hi Everybody,
How could I check the actual value of 2 variables which I defined with transaction \nFILE for the Logical Path and the logical file name?
Background to this question is that I am experiencing problems in using them and want to check if the variables have correct values.....
Thanks in advance
FedeX.

Hi FedeX,
Did not get exactly what you wanted.
May be you can try this: You can check the varibale values in the table V_PARAMVAL.

Regarding the Logical Path and file name

Hi all ,
I am using LSMW for creating the BOM of a material .
I am getting problem at step 7 , saying the logical path is pointing to physical directory .
Then i did some R & D . I created the logical path and logical file name using transaction FILE . Then i got the physical path using FM file_get_name.
But when i give those logical path and logical file names , still i am getting prob.... at step 7 of lsmw.
Pls let me know . I did my best unti l now ....
Regards

Hi Raj,
Can you send the Error which you got at Step 7??
It would be of great help if you can send the File Path and the file names you have used.

Path and Name field in SPD 2010 Workflow for creating Doc Sets

Hi Guys,
Here's hoping you can help out and give a few pointers. I'm currently trying to implement what I thought was quite a simple workflow involving the creation of a Content Type (similar to Doc Set but with additional field) within an alternative library when
a new item is added to the current library.
Create Item in CaseFileLibrary (Output to Variable: CaseFile)
When running the workflow, I keep getting the following error:
"The workflow could not create the list item because the file name is either missing or invalid. "
It seems to be related to the 'File and Path' field within the 'Create New List Item' field mappings. For this I have tried the CurrentItem:Title as some other forums suggest and have also tried entering the URL path e.g. /subsite_name/library_name/CurrentItem:Title.
(as the name of the CaseFile (Doc Set) is going to be the same as the current item name)
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be truely greatful.
Luke

Hi Luke,
This error indicates there is an error in the workflow logic. Ensure that the file name entered in the Path and Name field is a valid file name. Common reasons for a file name to be invalid include a missing or incorrect file extension or a file/path string
that is too long and exceeds the allowable number of characters.
More information, please refer to :
Common error messages in SharePoint workflow development
For the URL that you used in the ‘Create New List Item’, whether the CurrentItem:Title is a lookup, not typed by yourself. If not, please type /subsite_name/library_name/, then lookup CurrentItem:Title, like the below, then save and publish the workflow,
compare the result.
In addition, please use another name for the name, compare the result.
Best Regards,
Wendy

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

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.

Regarding logical path

Dear guys,
Support Pls..I am working In 640Basis system.
I have created Logical path ZDIRLOGGING and ZLOGICFILE
using FILE transaction.
I have set my logical path as below in WINDOWS NT environment.
ZDIRLOGGING :C:\usr\sap\RX1\DVEBMGS90\log\<FILENAME>
and
ZLOGICFILE : ZDIRLOGGING.
I used FILE_GET_NAME FM to Access the physical path using Logic file ZLOGICFILE.
My input to FM is
Logical file name :ZLOGICFILE
OS : WINDOWS NT or NT
Parameter_1 : ZTEST
ELEMINATE_BLANKS :X
Export parameter always gives different path
FILE_NAME <i>C:\usr\sap\RX1\SYS\GLobal\ZTEST.</i>
instead of below original path
<b>C:\usr\sap\RX1\DVEBMGS90\log\<FILENAME>.</b>
why it is..where i am wrong here..
could somebody help me..
Message was edited by: ambi chan

Hey guys,
To my confirmation i think i have done correctly.
I have followed all steps what you people told.
prblem i found often is, while creating Logical file
when i try to select Logical path(using f4) i get shortdump like this below.
So what i am doing still now is just entering the logical path name straight way in Input textbox and save.
DO you think below shortdump relates with this problem.
Also FYI, i tried giving SAP logical path in FM and tried..but still the DEFAULT DIR_GLOBAL path is taking by fm.
Any other solutions would be more great.

Program "/1BCF41/FILEPATH " not found.
What happened?
There are several possible reasons for the error:
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "SAPLSDSD" had to be terminated because one of the
statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
or
The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
The current ABAP program "SAPLSDSD" had to be terminated because the ABAP
processor discovered an invalid system state.
Error analysis
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND', was
neither
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
"GENERATED_PROG_SELECT" "(FORM)"
Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
to occur, the running program was terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
On account of a branch in the program
(CALL FUNCTION/DIALOG, external PERFORM, SUBMIT)
or a transaction call, another ABAP/4 program
is to be loaded, namely "/1BCF41/FILEPATH ".
However, program "/1BCF41/FILEPATH " does not exist in the library.
Possible reasons:
a) Wrong program name specified in an external PERFORM or
SUBMIT or, when defining a new transaction, a new
dialog module or a new function module.
b) Transport error

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.

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.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8d/3e4ec2462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm]

Need FM to find physical path for given logical path

Hi Guru's,
I wanted to find the physical path for the given the logical path.
I have a requirement where i have to write records into the file mentioned via logical path .Inside the program i wanted to fetch the physical path for given logical path .
Is there any FM to achieve this functionality.
Thanks!!
Pravee

Use fm FILE_GET_NAME to get physical file name from a logical file name. But u have to maintain the mapping between logical file name and physical file name in tran. FILE.
     call function 'FILE_GET_NAME'
          exporting
               logical_filename = lds_name << Logical file name
          importing
               file_name        = ds_name << Physical file name
          exceptions
               file_not_found   = 01.
Regards,
Joy.
