Process File from SAP Server

if there is an file that does journal entries, pushed into sap from external software, what location should that file be placed in the SAP server. Is there a folder which we can use in SAP server for that file.

Hi
You can use application server to store the files. You can use transaction AL11 where you will have different directories. You can create the folder under the directory as per requirement

How to transfer file from sap server to PDM server using open FT??

Hello Sap Guru's
I want to Trasfer a file with all supplier information from SAP server to PDM server(Thirdparty) system Using Open FT ..How can I transfer ???
Please let me know the answer??
Thanks In Advance
Preethi

Hi Preethi,
I think it is not possible to transfer a file from SAP to PDM using open FT.
Using RFCs, we can do the transfer.
Other option is the file can be downloaded into UNIX. And from there using a shellscript we can transfer the file from UNIX to PDM or if your PDM has the option to grab the file from UNIX that will also work.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if helpful.

How to store multiple files from SAp in to Application server?

Hi Guys,
 Can anybody tell me how to store multiple files from SAP into Application server.in my application i have to get the data from SAP tables BSEG , BKPF , BSAK and BSIK that to daily i have to do.
 Any Logic or Code for how to do is welcomed.
 plz help me urgently.
Thanks,
Gopi

Hi,
directories creates basis. If you have task to store data in application server you already should have information into which folder you have to do it. If you don't have this information because it is just for example training for next task then you can use your personal folder into which you have access. To get list of all available folders please look at attached code and form get_directories (you get the list of folders you see in transaction AL11). But don't forget: If you are using open dataset you have to have rights to access application folder!
Here you are code which I use to upload text files from local disc into application folder

Karol

Urgent : Download file from Application Server via Process Chain.

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to download the file from Application Server to local work station using an ABAP Program .
I want including the above ABAP program in a process chain to execute the program daily,
I tried to use ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT and GUI_DOWNLOAD but unfortunately both the above FM doesn't support to run through Process chain.
Can any one of you help me to send the code which selects a file from application server, downloads to local system and deletes it.
Thank you very much for spending your precious time in this regard.

Hi Sailekha,
Regarding your case ..
I suggest you to create the program where it run this function: WS_DOWNLOAD.
After it, the program is run by your process chain.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Niel.

You can try to create an external command (transaction SM69).......sorry I've forgotten,,,,they works on application
How do you call CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE?

THANKS In ADVANCE

HI,
1.
OPEN DATASET ld_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ELSE.
DO.
CLEAR: wa_string, wa_uploadtxt.
READ DATASET ld_file INTO wa_string.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
EXIT.
ELSE.
SPLIT wa_string AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab INTO wa_uploadtxt-name1
wa_uploadtxt-name2
wa_uploadtxt-age.
APPEND wa_uploadtxt TO itab.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET ld_file.
ENDIF.
2. If the another file get's generated in the application server with same file name then the data in old file get's over written with the new data. You are not required to delete the file.

Problem in uploading file from Application Server

Hi everyone,
i got a problem in uplaoding a file from application server.i am having two folder (one folder name is current and another one is processed)in application server. In current folder i am having N no of files.I want to upload all the files names into one internal table and i want to process one by one file.After processing each file the file should be moved to processed folder and the files should not exist in current folder.All these process must be done everyday.Please rectify my problem asap.

Ramesh,
Take authorization from basis guy.
Use the below code to get the list of files from require directory
*& Report ZDIRFILES *
REPORT ZDIRFILES .
PARAMETER: p_fdir type pfeflnamel DEFAULT '/usr/sap/tmp'.
data: begin of it_filedir occurs 10.
 include structure salfldir.
data: end of it_filedir.
*START-OF-SELECTION
START-OF-SELECTION.
Get Current Directory Listing for OUT Dir
call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'
 exporting
 name = p_fdir
 tables
 file_tbl = it_filedir.
Now in internal table "it_filedir" will have all your files.
For moving and deleting
report zrich_0001.
Parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/fld1/Data1.txt',
 d2 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/fld2/Data1.txt'.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
 rec(20) type c,
 end of itab.
data: wa(20) type c.
start-of-selection.
open dataset d1 for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc = 0.
 do.
 read dataset d1 into wa.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 exit.
 endif.
 itab-rec = wa.
 append itab.
 enddo.
endif.
close dataset d1.
open dataset d2 for output in text mode.
loop at itab.
 transfer itab to d2.
endloop.
close dataset d2.
delete dataset d1.
Check below FM if required
To move the file to archive directoryuse FMs 'PFL_COPY_OS_FILE'
To Delete 'EPS_DELETE_FILE'.

Files from FTP server to Application server

Hi All,
I am new to SDN and SAP XI, can anyone tell me whether its possible to move the files (different strcuture files i.e. some are master data files and some are transaction data file) from FTP server to Application server with one interface. Actually the process is already established at clientsite for placing master data files like product, plant etc from FTP server to App server through FTP adapter. Now my requirement is to move transaction data file with completely different structure as master data to App server. If we place these trasaction data file in same folder/directory as master data files does SAP XI pick this file also. If not what are the steps I need to follow to achieve this. I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
Right now our process for master data files is SAP XI picks the files and deletes the file from FTP server folder. The master data file names are plant_attr.csv, product_attr.csv etc and transcation data file name is salestrasactiondata.csv. I need to move these files to application server on daily bases.
I appreciate your help .
Regards
Bob.

Hello Bob,
Yes it is possible.
There can be two ways of doing it.
1. N:1 mapping, BPM will require for this.
N:1 Mapping refer this blog
IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM
BpmPatterns CollectMerge
part1 BPM with Patterns explained Part-1
part2 BPM with Patterns explained Part-2
Second option
Create 3 scanarios in integration directory and correspondingly in integration repositoy create different data types, message types, mappings & interface mappings and then in each of scenario us different message interface and interface mapping.
> I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
>
If you are using N:1 scenario then use *.csv in your sender adapter under file name parameter and then all the files will be picked up from same directory.
If you are using second option (3 different scenarios) then also you can pick the different files from same directory. You will be having 3 sender adapters in this case, So, one for picking master data, and another for product data and the last one for transaction data.
So, in case of master data use "plant_*.csv" as a file name and directory name.
In case of product data, use "product_*.csv " as a file name and source directory will remain same.
similarly do it for transaction data.
So by this way all 3 sender adapters will perform their job to pick the different files from same source directory.

FM to read XML files from Application server in ECC5.0

Hi All,
We need to pick up an XML file from Application server/FTP server. The requirement is to parse the XML file and process it to create material master. SAP provides standard function modules to read XML files.
Now we need to read the XML file contents of MM01 and upload into SAP Data Base through BAPI
I need to know about the Function modules to read XML files from Application Server and also about the FM's that will update the Date base tables with the data obtained form XML files.
Regards
Prathima

For creating the material master look at BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE.

Result of this code is : there is a pop up asking to open or save pdf format and process is complete, but i have problem in downloaded file.

Can anyone please help me in this regard.
