Reading file in pattern from Application server

Hello Experts,
I want to search file from Application server.
I have certain pattern for the file. eg. OEDERS_.DAT or ORDERS_OPEN..
How can I search the file for pattern from the application server?
Ex.
Suppose my file name is ORDER_SENT.DAT, this file should be returned.
Suppose my file name is ORDER+SENT.DAT, this file should be returned with error.

Process for Flat file delta load from Application server to transactional??

I want to do a flat file extraction in delta loads from application server and that should be loaded into a transactional cubes scheduling a process chain.
Can any one help with ABAP code and step by step process for this?
Thank you
Devi

Hi Devi,
As per your explaination, you want to load a list of files from application server using process chain.
You can do this with below steps.
1) Create a Event and call event to run Process chain multiple times.
2) Put all filenames in a file say, source-File
3) Write a rooting to read filename from Source-File and trigger InfoPackage
4) At the end of the process chain create new customized program which will delete first line from Source-File so that it will take next file in next run as well as delete currently loaded file. Once this is done trigger event again to start process chain again.

Dynamic selection of file in infopackage from application server

Hi,
We have a infopackage in Process chain which runs daily. In the infopackage 'EXTRACTION' tab , input file is from application server. The file we get daily is not unique.
As an example file name is not like 'UNIQUE.CSV' . It varies daily and carries a date and time stamp like UNIQUE_DATE_TIME.CSV
I think we can have a routine to handle this. can someone help me with the routine/code?
Thank you all.

Hi,
1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2.
2. First dump the .csv files into Folder F1 using some Programs or Manualy (Name xyz.csv).
3. Then load the data using InfoPackage (here IN infoPackage, Extraction Tab you need to select Adapter = Load Text File from Application Server and then give the correct path from Folder F1), through PC.
4. At the end of the load, attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from Folder F1 to Folder F2.
5. So next day the file will come to Folder F1 and the it will loaded to Cube/DSO and at the end it will move to Folder F2.
Else you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from Folder F1 to Folder F2 , once you load is over.
While moving the file from Folder F1 to Folder F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to Folder F2, it is use full for future reference.

1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.

Displaying pdf files in Portal from application server.

Hi,
I have a requirement where i will give a link on the portal for Provident Fund related data. When the user clicks on the link, i have to retrieve his pdf file from the folder stored on the application server and display it in portal. Could you please tell me how to do it?
Also can we use Knowledge Management for it? If yes, how to do it?

Hi,
This can be done by
1. Store the pdfs in the server like userid.pdf. Or you can add the year also the the file name. The files can be in the same appserver. No need for KM.
2. Create a Webdynpro application where the WD automatically reads user ids of the person logged in (IUser).
3. In the Webdynpro code create a LinkToURL element with the user id you got in step one. This will make sure that somebody cannot see others file.

OPEN DATASET fp_asfile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
I have alos tried to change the user with the back groung user ID. but it again failed.
Can any one tell me why.
Ster

Hi,
Ok..go to SM51 in your system...and then check how many application servers are there..
if there are more than one..do the following..
In the background mode...the program might be running in a different application server....than the one which you used in the your foreground session..
check this..
1)
In your foreground session...go to system -> status...get the application server..
2)
when you define the job in SM36...there is a field in the initial screen.."Exec. Target"...which says in which application server you want to run this job...Give the application server that you got from step 1...Then release the job...now your program should work fine..
Thanks,

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.

Hi,
What actually happens? Do you get a short dump? Do you get a return code ne 0? Does it run fine but you get no data in your table?
We aren't mind-readers and can't help much without more information.
Try using transaction AL11 to see if you access the files you are trying to open.

Reading tab delimited file from application server

Hi All,
I do know that we need to use Open data set to read a file from application server, but my question is when you use read DATASET v_file into wa_final - this wa_final is an work area and also i have mentione an internal table. so do we need to Split the record at tab into the corresponding fields. Append the records into an internal table i_input.????
Please let me know on this....
thanks in advance....
Poonam....

Hi,
first see the file contents in application server, how the contents whether the contents seperated by any symbol or not, if the contents seperated by any symbol then you have to split the data before appending to internal table.
check this code.
DATA: l_data_string TYPE string.
filename = p_file.
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    DO.
      READ DATASET filename INTO l_data_string.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      CLEAR k_input.
      SPLIT l_data_string AT '#' INTO k_input-agreement k_input-suffix k_input-status
            k_input-first_name k_input-last_name k_input-job_title k_input-tel k_input-fax k_input-email_address k_input-mob_number.
      APPEND k_input TO i_input.
