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.

Usage of logical name, logical path name, physical name of a file

Hi all,
I have to write to a file on the application server. I had been given the logical name, logical path name and physical name. Suggest how to use these parameters and get the path where to store the file.
Thanks & Regards,

Reg Logical System Name

Hi,
We have ECC 6.0 PROD and ECC 6.0 QAS System.
WE have different logical system names for both the systems
But when we refreshed the PROD to QAS , we have to run the BDLS transcation to change the logical System name(since we are having different logical System name)
But BDLs is taking more than 40 hours.
Please let me know , whether logical system name can be the same throughtout the landscape or not
In other words , is there any side effects if i have same logical system name for QAS and PROD

I've been researching the same issue. I found the following
"Is it necessary to change the logical system names?
Because of the two reasons mentioned above (long runtime of transaction BDLS and possible inconsistencies), it may be desirable, to avoid the renaming of logical systems during system copy.
Whether logical systems names need to be changed at all after a system copy depends on the type of the target system: "
This is from SAP System Landscape Copy for SAP Net Weaver and my SAP Solutions

I found it searching for sap bdls alternative
Hope this helps. I'm continuing my search.

Mapping logical path valid name

We have existing mappings with "." in logical path name such
as www.test.com
However, when we try to create a new mapping with "." in them
we get a coldfusion error that states:
Please enter a valid name for the mapping
Is it possible to include characters such as "." in a logical
path? If so, how? If not, how did the existing mappings get
setup?

Mappings with be the full path on the server, such as
c:\website\sitefiles\ and the name is just one word normally (
/mapping ). URLs are not a good thing to try to map.

When you are not in development, you can assign a different physical path to the same logical path in your staging system via the file transaction. As long as you use the logical path name in your code, it will be interpreted correctly with the setup in the system.

Regarding logical path

Dear guys,
Support Pls..I am working In 640Basis system.
I have created Logical path ZDIRLOGGING and ZLOGICFILE
using FILE transaction.
I have set my logical path as below in WINDOWS NT environment.
ZDIRLOGGING :C:\usr\sap\RX1\DVEBMGS90\log\<FILENAME>
and
ZLOGICFILE : ZDIRLOGGING.
I used FILE_GET_NAME FM to Access the physical path using Logic file ZLOGICFILE.
My input to FM is
Logical file name :ZLOGICFILE
OS : WINDOWS NT or NT
Parameter_1 : ZTEST
ELEMINATE_BLANKS :X
Export parameter always gives different path
FILE_NAME <i>C:\usr\sap\RX1\SYS\GLobal\ZTEST.</i>
instead of below original path
<b>C:\usr\sap\RX1\DVEBMGS90\log\<FILENAME>.</b>
why it is..where i am wrong here..
could somebody help me..
Message was edited by: ambi chan

Hey guys,
To my confirmation i think i have done correctly.
I have followed all steps what you people told.
prblem i found often is, while creating Logical file
when i try to select Logical path(using f4) i get shortdump like this below.
So what i am doing still now is just entering the logical path name straight way in Input textbox and save.
DO you think below shortdump relates with this problem.
Also FYI, i tried giving SAP logical path in FM and tried..but still the DEFAULT DIR_GLOBAL path is taking by fm.
Any other solutions would be more great.

Program "/1BCF41/FILEPATH " not found.
What happened?
There are several possible reasons for the error:
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "SAPLSDSD" had to be terminated because one of the
statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
or
The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
The current ABAP program "SAPLSDSD" had to be terminated because the ABAP
processor discovered an invalid system state.
Error analysis
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND', was
neither
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
"GENERATED_PROG_SELECT" "(FORM)"
Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
to occur, the running program was terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
On account of a branch in the program
(CALL FUNCTION/DIALOG, external PERFORM, SUBMIT)
or a transaction call, another ABAP/4 program
is to be loaded, namely "/1BCF41/FILEPATH ".
However, program "/1BCF41/FILEPATH " does not exist in the library.
Possible reasons:
a) Wrong program name specified in an external PERFORM or
SUBMIT or, when defining a new transaction, a new
dialog module or a new function module.
b) Transport error
b) Transport error

Struts logical path problem

HI,
I am using struts in my web application deployed on OC4J server.
I am hitting a problem that the "sub page" gets incorrect url.The details are as follows:
in my struts config the mapping is defined as :
1) "parent.do" is mapped to /WEB-INF/mypages/parent.jsp
2)"child.do" is mapped to /WEB-INF/mypages/child.jsp
My page "parent.jsp" contains two frames one having some a page with static images and the other frame having the src as "child.do"
Now if I invoke the http://myserver/myapp/parent.do
the first frame loads correctly while for second it throws an error 404 that "http://myserver/myapp/WEB-INF/mypages/child.do" not found.
It seems to me that that the subpage does not get the correct information about the context.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

When you are not in development, you can assign a different physical path to the same logical path in your staging system via the file transaction. As long as you use the logical path name in your code, it will be interpreted correctly with the setup in the system.

Archiving object in open hub with logical file name

Hello,
I am trying to use an open hub with a logical file name.
By the SAP help looks like you have to use/define a archiving object:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8d/3e4ec2462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
Steps 1 and 2 of "Defining Logical Path and File Names" are done and tested:
       1.      Definition of the logical path name
       2.      Definition of the logical file name
       3.      Assignment of the logical fine name for the archiving object
But is it not clear to me if an archiving object is suppose to be used, which one then?, or if you have to create a new archiving object, with which characteristics?
Any help welcome,
Alberto.

Alberto,
Can you explain what you are trying to do. Are you trying to archive data from a BI object or are you trying to export data out of a BI object using open hub.

Mapping physical file name to logical file name

Hi All,
Can anybody let me know wht is the procedure to map a logical file name to physical file name. wht is the use of logical file name when there exists physical file name?
Thanx in Advance

As far as creating the Logical path its done through the transaction code file by using options
Steps are:
1. Logical file path definition which is logical file path name.
2. Assignment of physical path to logical path - where we give the physical path to the logical path name defined in the last step.
After creating the Logical path the procedure to attach the file name to the Logical path is as follows:
Use the function Module C13Z_FRONT_END_TO_APPL to upload the file from the front end to the application server.
Source file on front end will be the CSV file path which is to be uploaded to the application server
Target file on application server will be the physical path of the file on the application server where the file is to be uploaded.
Attach the physical path of the file on the application server to the Logical file using transaction code file.
Logical File: The Logical name of the file which will be used by the interfaces to upload the file
Physical file: The name of the physical file on the application server
Logical path: The path of the physical file on the application server where it is stored.
The possible reason for the use of Logical file name could be we can have directories within SAP in which we can have logical files stored. These files can be used by various interfaces. Different Logical paths can be used for different interfaces. the second reson can be to give more user friendly name to the file rather than a long physical name to the file.

Need same logical path for multiple objects in a Single project

Dear All,
I have a requirement where I wish to ensure that whenever an object is created in the LSMW transaction (In a Single Project), that object has to be created always under the same logical path name.
This logical path I want to define under the transaction FILE.
Is it possible to get this done?
Please help,
Regards,

Nimish,
Please tell me how to ensue that for every object created we get the same logical path without entering any value.
The path i mean is the one defined in the transaction FILE
Thanks for your input.

RSCRM_BAPI - using logical path

Hi everybody,
I use rscrm_bapi in order to export data from bw.
Is it possible to use logical path name in this interface?
I try to write in the path field a logical path name which was define earlier (tran file),
but the system concatenate the logical path name with the file name.
For example:
File name: HANA
Path name: HADAR
result in al11: /defualt directory/HADARHANA
What is the right way to do it?
Hadar

RSCRM_BAPI - directly dumps a query as a .CSV in the app server - for an APD to work - you cannot specify the filename but then by specifyinf a logical file name - it can be run multiple times without any changes...

Logical Path and File Name

Hi Everybody,
How could I check the actual value of 2 variables which I defined with transaction \nFILE for the Logical Path and the logical file name?
Background to this question is that I am experiencing problems in using them and want to check if the variables have correct values.....
Thanks in advance
FedeX.

Hi FedeX,
Did not get exactly what you wanted.
May be you can try this: You can check the varibale values in the table V_PARAMVAL.

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....

Regarding the Logical Path and file name

Hi all ,
I am using LSMW for creating the BOM of a material .
I am getting problem at step 7 , saying the logical path is pointing to physical directory .
Then i did some R & D . I created the logical path and logical file name using transaction FILE . Then i got the physical path using FM file_get_name.
But when i give those logical path and logical file names , still i am getting prob.... at step 7 of lsmw.
Pls let me know . I did my best unti l now ....
Regards

Hi Raj,
Can you send the Error which you got at Step 7??
It would be of great help if you can send the File Path and the file names you have used.
