My Logic file name length changed

For some reason, Logic started limiting my file name lengths to 31 characters. This was never an issue before. I could always use much longer names. About a week ago, for no apparent reason, it started limiting the length and truncating the names to only 31 characters. Anyone know if this is a bug or is there a setting somewhere that i don't know about. I'm on OSX 10.6.8. There is no problem with creating long file names outside of Logic 9.0.0

This has always been so in Logic. It never suddenly "started"...
But it was fixed in version 9.1.0, which came out
almost three years ago
and is a free update for every LP 9 owner...
You really should update, there's no reason not to. If you're on a PPC (G4 or G5), you can only go to 9.0.2 (still worth it), if on an Intel Mac (2006 and later), you can go to 9.1.8; this will improve things for you, and also end the 31 charachter limit, which was an atavism.

Archiving : Change of Logical File Name & physical path

Hello friends,
We are doing archiving for a Z* archiving object.
We run a write job(not delete job till now) for this archiving object and it created archive files in .../SYS/GLOBAL directory as was expected from settings of Logical File Name and hence physical path corresponding to it. So far no problem..
Now, requirement is to change this path and for this i created a new Logical File Name with a different physical path.
My concern is, about already archived data in older path. Should i only run delete job for that session ?
Or should i copy the archive files to new path and then start delete job OR do a write job once again..
please suggest.
thanks
ashish

Hello Juan,
Ok, i can copy the files, those are not too many as we did it only for 2 months selection.
Can i go for write job again for same selection ? If yes, probably it will create a new session.. correct ? and then i will go for deletion for new session.
If this is also correct way, i want to do this.. as till now this has been one for only 2 months and we are going to do for 8 yrs.
One more question, will the be any problem for having 2 sessions for same selection.. means 2 write or archive job for same selection.
thanks
ashish

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.

File Name Length

Hi All,
While down loading .csv file, i can get my file name length dynamicallly upto 157 bytes but not getting more than that.
I have a requirement to download very long file name. Can any one please suggest me a good solution?.
My code is
response.setContentType(contentType);
                    response.setCharacterEncoding("WINDOWS-932");
                    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
                              "attachment; filename="
                                        + URLEncoder.encode(fileName, "UTF-8"));-vignesh

It seems there is no restrictions in filename's maxlength.
However, if you check the section 2.3 of this link
[http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2183.html|http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2183.html]
It says:
It is important that the receiving MUA not blindly use the suggested
filename. The suggested filename SHOULD be checked
(and possibly changed) to see that it conforms to local filesystem conventions,
does not overwrite an existing file, and does not present a security problem
(see Security Considerations below).I tried to test filename's maxlength with different browsers and found that results differ with browsers.
The HTTP response header nevertheless contained the full filename.
Above all, IMO avoiding long filename is the best solution.

How to create logical file name

Could some one tell me how to create logical file names in BW , and when to use the transaction SF01.
Thanks

The following describes the procedure for creating a cross-client definition using the transaction FILE.
You create the client-specific definition in the same way using transaction SF01.
1.Call transaction FILE for cross-client file names.
2.Double click the dialog structure Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client.
You access the screen Change View "Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client": Overview

File name length causing problems

I want to use my iPod suffle as a data transfer device as well as a MP3 player and am havign real problems copying folders onto it from my iBook or my desktop G4. Is it the file name lengths that are the pprblem (that's certainly the error message I get sometimes). Or the volume of data that I am trying to copy in one hit (400MB-worth)?

Why does Logical file name in sys.master_files does not match SSMS Properties

SQL 2012 11.0.2100.60 (x64)
I have a sproc that does an ALTER to change the logical file name of a DB. Getting this error at a customer site "5041 MODIFY FILE failed. File 'Template_201401_Log' does not exist.' When I query the sys.Master_files the log name is'Template_201401_Log'.
but when i look in SSMS at the DBs -> properties -> files the logs logical file name is Store01_log. There is only a single log file.
Just found out that if I change the log file name in SSMS it then corrects it in the sys.Master_files. So it is now corrected. BUt what would cause it to be a mismatch between the sys.Master_files and the SSMS Properties?

Hi,
Can you show us the query. What is template file ?

LSMW - Create Logical File Name so that the physical file name is automatic

Hello,
In LSMW, I do not want to create a logical file name for each project. I would like the logical file name to automatically assign the physical file to the *.lsmw.conv of the project being executed. Is there a way of doing that? If so, could someone share?
Regards, Dean.

not possible to create the logical file name to physical file name automatiically.
because the logical file name created like PROJECT name + SUB PROJECT name +OBJECT NAME .*.lsmw.conv
if you change the object name the file will be change....

Hi Ram,
Try using FILE transaction code...
Follow these steps to create:::
Double click on Logical file Path Definition
Click on New Entries,
Give Logical file Path name as Z_LOGICAL PATH and save it
now choose this path and double click on Assignemt of Physical path to Logical path
double click on the OS name
Give some description and give some Physical path name from AL11 transaction and save it
Now Double click on Logical File Name Definition,
Click on New Entries,
Give some logical file name: Z_LOGICAL_FILENAME
Physical file: test
Data Format: BIN
Logical Path: Z_LOGICAL PATH

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....

To test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based

Hi Sir/Madam,
to test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based on the selection made in the dtp run for extracting data as flat file.

Hi Vishali,
In the DTP select the file location as application server and give the logical file path. The actual file and logical path can be created using transaction "FILE" and "AL11".
Rest of the process is same as that of extraction from local file.

OHD - Logical File Name

Hello all,
I have a question about using a logical file name in an OHD (BI 7.0). Because we need to transport the OHD to a different server, we cannot use the File option in defining the OHD. We need to use the option, Logical File. In t-Code FILE, we cannot seem to create a physical path that the OHD recognizes.
This is the path in AL11 where we want the file to end up: /usr/sap/BIP/DVEBMGS17/work/GGLF010.CSV with a server of prdsap01. We are creating the OHD in a different system with a different server and path. How should the physical path (mapped to the logical path) be defined. I know we have to use <FILENAME> to represent the OHD output file (GGLF010). What variables do we use for the rest of the path? Do the variables have to be specifically defined or are they delivered by SAP?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sheila

I don't know if this is relevant to this issue, but seems related.
When using OHD I noticed that two files are produced, the data file and the header file, unfortunatly when writing to the application server the file names output are identical. Therefore the header file overwrites the data file - anyone else experience this???
It is not possible to do anything about this using FILE settings so as a workaround (becasue I couldn't find/ an OSS note) I modified the standard class to ensure the data and header files names were unique:
METHOD: DETERMINE_FILENAME of class CL_RSB_FILE_GENERAL
o_filename_ctrl = l_filename.
*{ INSERT
*SAP BUG RENAMING HEADER FILE ELSE DUPLICATE FILES WILL OCCUR!!!
REPLACE '.CSV' IN o_filename_ctrl with '_HDR.CSV'.
*} INSERT
clear n_requid_current.
endmethod.
This assumes that the file output has .CSV as a file extension. This worked and now I get both the header and the data file.
If anyone could let me know if you have experienced this and how you resolved it would be nice.
cheers,
Asep
