Regarding logical path....LSMW

dear all..
i m working on LSMW for BOM creation.. i have created two flat files for header and the child windown (component). but when i m creating session, its asking for a logical path.. i have tried it with the t code FILE.. but its not working.
can anybody tell me how to assign logical file and logical path during creation of sesion.. is there anything with the authorization issue or something else..

  • Logical Path - LSMW PIR

    I am working on creating LSMW - sample conversion for PIR i struck up in the u201CSpecify filesu201D step by creating Logical Path.
    Step  1 : I have done it thru T.Code : FILE  in  that first by creating Logical File path.
    Step 2 : Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path
    I have maintained Syntax Group as WINDOWS NT and given the Physical path as C:\TEMP\<FILENAME>
    Step 3 : Logical File Name Definition , Cross Client
    I have maintained Logical File, Name, Physical File , Data Format ,App Area , Logical Path.
    After maintaining I am getting the error message u201C LOGICAL PATH PUR_INFO_RECORD DOES NOT EXISTu201D.
    Please help me out to solve this issue.

  • 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..

    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.

    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

  • LSMW - No logical path specified

    Hi Experts,
    Am developing a Project to upload the data, so, am using spread sheet from my C drive..........but, am getting the following error,
    No logical path specified
    Message no. /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060046
    So, pls, let me know that,
    1 - How to fix it?
    2 - Why its throwing?
    thanq

    In the "Specify files" step, you see following 3 nodes: Legacy Data, Read Data & Concerted data.
    Double click on Converted data where you get a popup & you need to mention the logical path & Logical file name. ( Normally LSMW will be the logical path & specify the same path as presentation server path / File.
    If you do not have a logical path - LSMW, create one with tx: FILE.

    Hi
    Have u followed all the steps perfectly while creating a lsmw ???
    There are 14 steps that are normally used and these are :
    1)   Maintain Object Attributes.
    2)   Maintain Source Structures.
    3)   Maintain Source Fields.
    4)   Maintain Structure Relations
    5)   Maintain Field Mapping and conversion rules .
    6)   Maintain Fixed Values,translations ,user defined routines.
    7)   Specify Files .

    9)   Read DATA.
    10) Display Read Data.
    11) Convert Data.

    specific to LSMW there is OSS note 753511 that describes what to do.
    If you have authority for x-client customizing then you can directly type a name for logical path and file name
    e.g. LSMWLOGPATH and LSMWLOGFILE, hit enter and LSMW will create the logical path and file name for you.and you dont need to do it with transaction FILE.
    Go into the step "Specify files".
    place cursor onto line "converted data"
    click change button.
    you get a pop-up with the logical path.
    Just hit enter and LSMW will create the path itself.

  • Why does it show "No logical path has been specified" in LSMW

    When I specify files in LSMW, save, the systems always shows "No logical path has been specified". I heard it need to config logical path in 'File', but I don't know how to cofig it?  Any people can tell me?  Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    This path of the file names is in the following format:
    Projectname_Subprojectname_Objectname.lsmw.read
    Projectname_Subprojectname_Objectname.lsmw.conv
    You can change this path manually in the following way
    click on imported data or converted data
    clickon  change entery button (Ctrl + F8)
    you will find this path in edit mode.
    here you can adjust it's length by removing some words from the project,subproject,object name.

  • LSMW by BI  : Unable to specify file in step 7; logical Path not assigned

    Hi,
    I'm trying to uplaod HR DATA using object 0555 and method 0000 for Program RPDUSTD00 using LSMW Batch Input Method.
    In step 7 when i specify file which tab delimited text file at front end pc(at my pc) let say  c:\test.txt and save I got error message 'Logical path not assigned'.
    Please suggest what I'm missing and what i need to do to get it correct.
    Thanks,
    Anshuman.

    Hi,
    There are other files specified in the screen for imported and converted data. These files must be accessible on SAP application server. If the logical file names are not created use physical ones lik /tmp/blabla.lsmw.read etc.
    Make sure you use different files for different objects.
    Kind regards

  • LSMW accept file from logical path?

    Dear All,
    Can LSMW designs for conversions accept file from logical path?
    The requirement is during actual conversion execution -the conversion team can store files anywhere they want, configure logical file names/paths and use our LSMWs without needing program modifications.
    Kindly let me know.

  • LSMW - source file from Logical Path and Files?

    Hi,
    When specifing the source file (legacy data) you want to use to load from - you can choose a file from the application server.
    For the application server file does anyone know is there anyway that you can use a logical path and file to represent this source file?
    I do not see this option in LSMW and am surprised at this as it necessitates changing the LSMW in each target system.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Mark

  • 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.

  • LSMW: Error concerning the logical path in Specify Files step

    Hi,
    I am trying on an ECC 6.0 EHP6 system to upload (open) POs from an existing SAP ERP system. Since I faced some complications in batch input recording method, I decided to go with the standard batch/direct input method.
    I selected object 0085 (Purchase Order) and method 0001 (Purchase Order). The program that is used is RM06EEI0. I followed all the usual steps, but in the "Specify Files" step I get the message:
    '****.lsmw.conv' does not exist; edit the logical path using transaction FILE
    Being aware of both the FILE and SF01 transactions, I created the logical path and file (through the FILE transaction). However, after the modification, I get the message:
    Logical file '****' is not assigned to physical file '****.lsmw.conv'
    There is also the related SAP Note 753511 (Logical and physical path and file name in transaction LSMW) that refers to this case.

    Hi,
    Click on specify file radio button>Legacy data-on the PC Front end
    where input file location like C:\mydocument\desktop\test.txt
    and give input in Name field: mydocument
    in delimiter section > select Tabular
    File structure section> tick on Field order matches source structure definition
    File type: Record end marker(Text file)
    then press enter key and other steps as same.
    Second thing you said that you have used Batch input recording
    after creation and recording finish , scroll the page below on recording and put a cursor unwanted field and remove unwanted input field.
    I hope your problem will resolve. you can find the steps pdf on Google search try now.
    Thanks
