Path to SapWorkDir

Hi,
Is there in abap, parameters which sored path to SapWorkDir and which could be given in FM 'WS_DOWNLOAD' as filename parameter?
regards,
Joanna
Edited by: Joanna Lazarz on Apr 14, 2008 12:07 PM

Dear Joanna,
please note that the function is obsolete. You should use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES instead.
'WS_DOWNLOAD' is for a download to a front-end. As I understand your question correctly you would like to download data to the application server, right? In this case you should user open dataset and the transfer statement.
You should also check transaction FILE. This will show you defined logical file and path names in your system.

Find SapWorkDir path

I am using the following fn module:
    CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'
      EXPORTING
        filename                = 'C:\LOG.TXT'
        filetype                = 'ASC'
      TABLES
        data_tab                = it_log
In the paramater <b>filename</b> I want to give default as the path to the SapWorkDir of the user logged in currently. (Usually it is c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\SapWorkDir\).
But do we have a neat way.

hi flora,
1. The neat way is to DETECT
   which is the SAP Directory.
2.
report abc.
data : ret(100) type c.
<b>CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_GET_DESKTOP_INFO'
EXPORTING
    type          = 11 " <----
Important
changing
    return        = RET
          .</b>
BREAK-POINT.
RET will contain the FULL PATH.
1: Host name (host name of current system)
2: Windows directory
3: System directory
4: Temp. directory
5: Domain user name
6: Platform
7: Windows build number
8: Windows version
9: Program name
10: Program path
11: Current directory (Directory for current process)

DMS:Original file path overriding configuration ?

Hi,
Running 4.6c. We use vault method for originals. We have configured data carrier type "Server,frontend" -> PC and are maintaining a path as c:\ for the temporary files. We also have configured 'frontend computers' by putting in the entry as 'Default' data carrier.
Example: Using CV01N, one person Bob, creates a DIR - 100, checks in the original into the vault and saves the DIR. When another person Frank, using CV02N opens DIR - 100, tries to change the original, there is a pop-up with two fields: 1. Data Carrier (blank with a drop down option) and 2. Original: displays the full path of the first person's PC as C:\Document and Settings\Bob\SapWorkDir\<temp. file name>.
Issue-we get a 'ftp:subcommand local error' for Frank when trying to access the original. We also observed that sometime, it would actually create the path C:\Document and Settings\Bob\SapWorkDir\<temp. file name> for Frank on Frank's PC!!
Is the original overriding the configuration? Should it not create the temporary file in C:\ as we have configured in DC20?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Athol,
Appreciate your helpful input for my query. I tried setting up the profile and have a couple of questions:
1. Define profiles -> Determine definitions for applications. Is the 'Work Directory' the field to configure the path e.g C:\?
2. Since we have the vault configured, I assume that I use the vault value in the Define profiles -> Determine definitions for applications -> Storage Category
3. Define profile -> Determine definitions for applications -> Default values, does anything need to be checked. There are three attributes Display, Print and Display in WWW.
Would appreciate if you can clarify the above.
Thanks!

Redlining LAYER file .cgm Path Setting

Dear All,
Whenever i create & save redlining on AutoCAD Drawing in ECC 6.0(ERP 2005), it make a file with .cgm extension on my local system at following default path "C:\DOCUMENT AND SETTINGS", Is there a way that i can change that storage location to other path(e.g. C:\SapWorkDir\Acad)....If there is any configuration please reply me......
Waiting for your reply
Thanking You,
TUSHAR DAVE

Hi Dave,
you can change the path by maintaining another path for the used frontend type in
transaction DC20. Here you can maintain a specific path for each frontend type which is used to create a temporary copy or a cgm layer file, when you display an original.
Best regards,
Christoph

Change SapWorkDir on Installation Server

Hello,
I'd like to change the value of the SetSapWorkDir for a package I am building in the Installation Server and I cannot figure out how to do it.
The variable is currently set to %%USERPROFILE%%\SapWorkDir and I'd like to change it to point to a users H drive, ie, h:\SapWorkdir
Any idea how I can do this?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hello Philip
you know the differnecies between PRODUCTS and PACKAGES?
For Products you can not set a special path in the SAPADMIN tool.
Please create your own package and then you can see in the TAB "Configure Packages" the
"blue line" configure paramteres .... Click on it and you can change the SETSAPWORKDIR
to your own path....
After this step you must click on the SAVE button....
Best regards, Sven

Error while creating a Characteristic Variable with Replacement Path

Hi all,
    I am trying to create the Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT (Low Date') with Replacement Path on characteristic ZSTARTDT (Start Date) and it gives the error 'Source to replace 'Low Date' is not defined.
   I have created a User Entry Variable VAR_DATE (Start Date) with interval like '01/01/2009 - 01/15/2009' and Customer Exit variable ZVCPDAY (does some calculation based on the input of VAR_DATE) on the same ZSTARTDT characteristic. I want to get the 01/01/2009 (lower range date of the selection) into this Characteristic Variable ZVLOWDT. We are in BI 7.0 and the following are it's properties:
General Tab:
Description: Low Date
Technical Name: ZVLOWDT
Type of Variable: Characteristic Value
Processing by: Replacement Path
Reference Characteristic: ZSTARTDT Start Date
Details Tab:
Variable Represents : Single value
Variable is: Mandatory
Variable is Ready for Input : unchecked
Replacement Path Tab: Replacement Rule
Replace Variable with : Variable
Variable : VAR_DATE
Replace with : KEY
Why I am getting this error, PLEASE ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Khaja,
   We could derive a Variable value from another Variable with out Customer Exit. There is a white paper.
First have the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next create the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we could get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path, PLEASE ?
Thanks,
Venkat.

Relative path for images in RTF templates

Hi everybody!
When I insert an image in a RTF template, I put its path into the web dialog, in order to see correctly the picture when I open the report from the xmlp server, in this way: url:{"http://servername/analytics/res/Images/image.bmp"}
How can I make this path relative, in order to see the images even if the server name changes?
Thanks so!
Francesco

Hi Tim,
I am using BIP 10.1.3.3.2. I am able to access system variable CURRENT_SERVER URL.
Steps:
<?param@begin:CURRENT_SERVER_URL?>
<xsl:value-of select="$ CURRENT_SERVER_URL"/>
CURRENT_SERVER_URL is getting printed in BI Publisher. Value displayed is http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/xmlpserver.
Now we are importing xsl into RTF template. File aaa.xsl is stored at [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app]
We have hardcoded the path for XSL in RTF. The path is <?import: http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/aaa.xsl?>
As we want to set dynamic path we changed hardcoded xsl path to <?import: {$CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/../aaa.xsl?> but it is not working. Sometimes BIP is taking local path of MyDocuments folder and sometimes Desktop path. If I put that XSL file in MyDocuments folder or Desktop, it is working fine. But ideally it should refer [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app] path...
Thanks,

Emails from camera roll saved to wrong folder -- IMAP Path Prefix Problem

I think there's a problem with the behaviour of the way picture emails are saved when you have an IMAP Path Prefix.
I have an IMAP Path Prefix of "INBOX"... i.e. my sent folder is Inbox/Sent. Any plaintext emails I send from the email application from the iPhone are correctly saved to that folder and I can see them in that folder immediately via the iPhone's interface.
When I navigate to the camera roll or photo album and send a picture email to somebody, and use the iPhone to go view the sent folder, they never appear in the sent folder. For a while I thought they weren't being saved at all, but I just discovered from my home PC that the camera roll app is indeed saving them somewhere: in Inbox/Inbox/Sent.
That's right--I now have a new Inbox folder inside my Inbox folder, with just a Drafts and Sent folder. Drafts is Empty, Sent has all the picture emails I've ever sent with the iPhone.
Bug? I think so... Emails emanating from the camera app are taking the IMAP Path Prefix twice instead of once, and then creating that Path Prefix folder if it doesn't already exist.
Anybody else with an IMAP Path Prefix experiencing this with picture emails from the camera roll?
Thanks,
Andi
Windows XP Pro

Ahhh interesting to find someone else with the same problem! It definitely happens when you send a photo message. My mac mail it shows my Inbox with a new nested sent items folder. I am using fusemail and the iPhone seriously messes with the folder structure. All sent items folders vanished for some reason on the mail server (but not in mac mail oddly) and I had to call technical support to make them reappear. I think this happened when I altered the Settings, Mail, Advanced settings, Mail box behaviour folders after having this problem with sent photo messages.
Now fusemail's webserver shows TWO Inboxes, one nested inside the other, and a "Sent Items" folder within the "new" inboxes.
Totally strange. I think there is a bug or two in the iPhone's IMAP software. Hoping for a bug fix soon, but until then perhaps a good work around might be to set the iPhone to store sent messages locally?

Blends: Difference between open and closed paths modifying spine

Okay, just had a discovery today about the blend tool.
The difference between closed paths and open paths is critical when you want to modify a blend spine, such as make it curve. Between open paths, there is no spine shown when a blend is created. Ever notice this? Between closed paths, there is a spine, which can be modified, such as making it curved. Now, the trick is how to modify a spine with open paths when there is no spine shown. Found out today that starting with a closed path, segments can be deleted to make the path open, then the spine can be modified and the open path state maintained!
This is a huge bug in Illustrator and makes no sense to me. Wanting Adobe to fix this in the next major release. Hope this helps anyone struggling with this issue.

One thing you should be aware of concerning open ended splines:
It makes an enormous difference as to how the blend behaves whether the endpoints have handles or not.
Give them handles and you will find that you can alter the distribution of the blend objects just by adjusting the handles or by dragging on the spline itself.
Give it a try.

Joining open and closed paths

Hi
Is it possible to join an open path (created with the Pen Tool) to a close path (also created with the Pen Tool)?
Grechy01

I want to create a complex piece of artwork by using line art created with the Pen Tool and color it by filling in the paths with the Live Paint Bucket. Anyway, I should be able achieve this with not much extra work by using overlapping closed paths, Average function (under Object --> Path) to align the point where the two closed paths cross, Pathfinder Merge function and multiple layers to remove the segments of the path that I don’t want and the Live Paint Bucket to color the artwork. If you can think of an easer way to do this please let me know.

BW 3.5 - Issue with formula variable with replacement path

Dear experts,
I'm facing an issue with formula variable with replacement path.
Just to clarify, I know replacement paths is raising a lot of questions but I've been using this functionnality extensively in the past, both in 7.0 and 3.5, so I'm not looking for basic information about how to use it.
I'm trying to setup a simple report that would show total values per plant of Purchase Order < 100
To do so I've setup a calculated key figure as follow:
VAR1 * ("PO value" < 100 ) * "PO value"
VAR1 is a formula variable with replacement path on 'purchase order' and value attribute 'constant =1'.
(The report has to show values summarized by plant but should not show the detail PO by PO, so I'm not looking at a solution based on condition)
The report as characteristic "plant" in rows and my CKF in columns.
Now let's take an example. I have 3 POs in Plant 1:
PO1 -> 150
PO2 -> 90
PO3 -> 80
Because of the variable with replacement path, the result in my query should be:
plant1 = 170 (even though characteristic "purchase order" is not in my rows, system should evaluate PO one by one and return values only for those two that are below 100).
But the result coming is 320, which is wrong.
I've done the same report on many other 3.5 systems and it worked perfectly, and I am not able to get proper support from SAP OSS who keep saying that this functionnality is not ready in 3.5 (although I've provided screenshot of this working on another 3.5 system!!! how frustrating...)
They have also pointed to problems of Before and After aggregation but that has absolutely no impact. Once again, the scenario is working perfectly on other 3.5 systems with the same query design, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with Query Designer options.
Would anyone have ever come to an equivalenet problem? I'm wondering whether the DB itself could not play a role in the variable with ref characteristic 'constant =1' ...
Any though is welcome!
thanks

Hi,
The text variable is replaced when the exact date is clear for this key figure column according to the restriction.
To achive this, please make sure that either the variable is directly restricted in the key figure selection, or that the date characteristic is in drilldown.
Regards,
Patricia

Bursting Problem - A file or directory in the path name does not exist
