Problem in XML to ITAB conversion - Application server files

Hi Friends
Earlier we used FTP concept, so I received XML file and length frpm FTP function modules, but now instead of FTP I am going to use the following function modules
SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING
SMUM_XML_PARSE
for that I need to pass the lenght of the file.But I dont know how to calculate the file length while receiving the files using Open Dateset concept.
Kindly provide your inputs.
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Could you please tell us how you solve it?
Greetings,

Problem with pdf display downloaded from application server

Hi all,
I have a problem with displaying pdf downloaded from application server (saved in BINARY MODE).
I am getting the pdf output of adobe form in FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF as rawstring back to my program and then converting that rawstring into binary form using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Now, when I export the data to presentation server directly using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, the pdf is downloaded properly.
However, when I save the data to application server file by looping at the internal table obtained from SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using TRANSFER, and subsequently downloading the file in "unconverted format" from AL11 to my desktop, I am getting a "blank" pdf file (with the same number of pages as the one downloaded using gui_download).
I have tried different encodings during download but in those cases i get corrupted pdf message. only the default option of INTIAL value seems to work.
I am forced to believe that there is a problem in my code which saves the data to app server but I cant find any solution that is logical. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sasi

Application Server file Accessing problem

Hi all,
    In my program i am writing data to the application server file ( temp.txt ) in Appending mode.
I am having 1000 records to write. In the mean time ( while temp.txt have 200 records ) i am running the same program using same application server file ( temp.txt ) same client but different user. That time writting option for both programs are successfully done.
But in my case i have to restrict the file writing at that time only one user.
Is there any way to lock the application server file for particular user while writting.
Thanks in Advance,
Florian.

Sending IDOC information in the XML format on the application server

Hello All,
We have a requirement like, while creating a billing document, an IDOC should be generated and the XML file should be created for that data in IDOC and that XML file would be sent to further via XI.
For this purpose, we have created
1. Logical Sender Receiver Systems We are sending the data from DL3 system 100 client to DL3 800 client
2. Assigned the clients to the logical system.
3. Created the distribution model with the message type INVOIC.
4. Created the partner profiles.
5. Created an XML port in transaction WE21, in which the application server file path is mentioned on which the xml file would be generated and the function module is provided which will only generate the file name is mentioned. In the outbound trigger tab the RFC destination is mentioned which is of type TCP/IP LOCAL_EXEC
6. In transaction WE20, for the 100 logical system added the message type INVOIC as a outbound parameter and same for the 800 client. The receiver port is mentioned as XML port which we have created.
Now, when we create the billing document via VF01 transaction, we give the transmission medium as ALE in the output. Hence the IDOC gets generated. The XML file also gets generated but the contents of the file are ONLY control records of the IDOC.
And not the data record and the status records.
The IDOC, if we see in WE02 displayes all the data in control , data and status records.
We want the control, Data and Status records of the IDOC to be populated in the XML file.
Please suggest if any extra configuration is required in this case. We are working on SAP 4.6.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Anuja

Hi Rob,
Ya ,i will take care your suggestion from next time..
Yes, we have downloaded the file using transaction CG3Y and opned it with IE as suggested by you. Howerver the contents are still seems to be control record.
For your reference putting the contents of the file.
<?xml version = "1.0"?><INVOIC01><IDOC BEGIN="1"><EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1"><TABNAM><![CDATA[EDI_DC40]]></TABNAM><MANDT>100</MANDT><DOCNUM>0000000000227012</DOCNUM><DOCREL>46C</DOCREL><STATUS>30</STATUS><DIRECT>1</DIRECT><OUTMOD>2</OUTMOD><IDOCTYP>INVOIC01</IDO
Please advice.
Thanks.

Problem in accessing application server file using open dataset

Hi All,
I am trying to access application server file using open dataset command, its working fine for normal path which imention. But when i am giving path of XI server file, its not working. How to access XI server file using open dataset. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishal

Hi Vishal,
You need to verify if the location where you are trying to save the file is in the same server of SAP. In case that the location is in other server you need to map that directy into the same server of SAP.
You need to point always to a location in the same server of SAP, in order that the open dataset could work.

Application Server : File writes only 255 characters

Hi Friends,
I am trying to writes data to application server file .
My line size is 1100 charqacters.
When I use open dataset for output in text mode encoding default
and transfer contents to file.
I am only able to write contents upto 255 characters.
Whatever is beyond that I do not see it in AL11.
Is there a way to write more than 255 characters.
I tried CG3Y to view files but it also shows only 255 characters.
Please help.

Hi,
Just find the string length.
In 4.6C version there is a limit of 1500 characters i. e. U can transfer max of 1500 characters in a single transfer. For that we applied below solution. Check this it may help u.
l_len = strlen( p_data ).
DO.
    IF l_len LT 1500.
      TRANSFER p_data+l_offset(l_len) TO p_file.
      MOVE 0 TO l_len.
    ELSE.
      TRANSFER p_data+l_offset(1500) TO p_file.
      SUBTRACT 1500 FROM l_len.
      ADD 1500 TO l_offset.
    ENDIF.
    CHECK l_len EQ 0.
    EXIT.
ENDDO.
p_data has the content to be trasfered of around 6000 characters and the length is dynamic.
Also download the data using CG3Y with BIN to .txt file and see.
If problem is still there then paste ur code of OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER statements.
Try to open the file in TEXT MODE.
eg: OPEN DATASET l_file IN TEXT MODE.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Erroneous row-lines in application server file

Hello,
There are some erroneous row-lines in application server file. Some part of data is repeating on a single line. I could not able to figure out if this is new record or part of same line. I have checked the code. Internal table is correctly written on application server using TRANSFER statement.
This problem is occurring only in Production environment as per description. So, I am not able to simulate the case in development environment.
When I downloaded file into notepad I get following text on single line:-
7411NC00101 GASNW 49223004 ESSENT NETWERK NOORD (GAS) GASNW 49223004 ESSENT NETWERK NOORD (GAS) 871694840014102760
Correct record should be:-
7411NC00101 GASNW 49223004 ESSENT NETWERK NOORD (GAS) 871694840014102760
Can anyone please suggest me possible causes of the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Minal

Hi,
Just check the code in debugging where the "GASNW 49223004 ESSENT NETWERK NOORD (GAS)" portion is generated and written to text area. This is happening because of the loop or not refreshing the variables.
With regards,
Sunil

How to check whether the Application Server file has already been opened?

Hi Experts,
I have a query related to Application Server file. I am using multithreading concept to process the data and write it in to a single file.
For example, I have 4 workprocesses. Each workprocess will process the data and whenever it has a record available it will access the file and write it directly.
Problem is the statements that are written in the workprocess is same and I want to check the status whether the file has been opened or not ?
Thanks in advance!!!
Thanks,
Babu Kilari

Depends on the structure, and whether the data needs to be sorted in some way in the final file.
In any case, I don't think there will be a significant performance difference between using OPEN DATASET again and getting funny with Unix commands.
If you don't need to sort the final file, you can use strings to read, concatenate and write the data even without line-based DO ENDDO loops, this works pretty fast.
I hope we are not talking about GBytes of data

Error while accessing the application server file

Hello,
When I try to load the data from CSV file to PSA , I am getting following error message
"Error while accessing the application server file"
"Errors in source system"
I gave the right file path
I am not sure about this error message.
Thanks,

Hi ram,
if you have more than one application server running in your BI system (see at transaction SM51) be aware that your infopackage will be executed on the right one. Each application server has its own file system and your job need to run on the server your file is stored on.
Also check if the os user of the SAP system itself (<sid>adm on Unix) has rights to read that file.
Bye

Application server file formats.

Hi,
I have one query regarding the application server file formats, when we are creating a file we give some extension (.txt, .dat),what is the use of different extensions.
When we are downloading the file from appl server using CG3Y we have two options(ASC and BIN ) what is the use of these options.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A text file is a kind of computer file that is structured as a sequence of lines.
A .dat file is a computer file which stores data for use by a computer application or system.
A character encoding consists of a code that pairs a sequence of characters from a given character set (sometimes referred to as code page) with something else, such as a sequence of natural numbers, octets or electrical pulses, in order to facilitate the storage of text in computers and the transmission of text through telecommunication networks.
ASCII and BINARY codes are used for internal representation of data.
The major difference between ASCII and BINARY is that when ASCII mode is used then the READ DATASET stmt starts at new line each time and in case of BINARY it reads character by character ( or some characters).
Thanks and regards.
