Regarding the UNIX files permissions

Final Warning
Hi Experts,
As we know, a UNIX file will have Read, Write and execute permissions with owner, User and other groups. Can any one explain me the difference between READ and EXECUTE with the reference of ZDIR transaction where we can see different files.
Thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Harshad.

Hi,
Filesystem doesn't manage permissions; the OS does. For the filesystem, there is only read and write.
It's up to the OS to decide if it will allow a file to be loaded into memory or not, and it uses the "execute" bit to help make that decision.
Note that the execute bit is "overloaded" in that it also indicates if a script is runnable directly, or if a directory's contents can be listed.

    Which basis release do you use?
    From 7.0 you have [GET DATASET|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPGET_DATASET.htm] statement
    Before, you may only get what you see in AL11 : mimic what is in program RSWATCH0
    Or you may register and use [UNIX commands (SM69 transaction / SXPG|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fa/0971e1543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm]) and get the results

  • Checking /Viewing Unix file permissions

    Is there a way for me to check file permissions (In Java) under unix, without having to call a system dependent function. (ie Runtime.getRuntime(); run.exec(....))
    Any help would be greatly appreicated.
    Curtney

    Thank you for replying.
    You are correct, I can detect ile permissions by using these functions, more specifically whether the current running application is able to read/write to a particular file.
    However, I am interest in knowing the file permissions /attributes
    for user and group on the unix file system despite whether the current running application can read/write to a particular file.
    ie,
    -rw-rw--r-- 1 username groupname size date .... filename
    I have searched and I believe, currently, there is not a class/member function that accomplishes the above.
    Again, Thanks for responding.

  • How to remove the EOF characters 0d & 0a from the unix file

    Hi,
             We have a requirement in which the EOF (End of file) characters 0d & 0a needs to be removed from  the Unix file generated by an ABAP program. Any pointers/solutions will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Anil

    UNix files do not have a 0d and 0a end of line, they only have 0a as line terminator.
    In general, unix files do not have a end of file character (^Z).
    If you do not want to have several lines, dont write several lines, write all in one line using a string variable.

    Hi,
    For this you will have to get the FTP server acces...
    if you have that, then follow the below steps.
    run program RSFTP002 in SE38.
    here in the selection screen you will have to fill the details like  USER , PASSWORD , HOST , COMMAND and RFC DESTINATION as mandatory.
    Command is nothin but to get the file from there... if you know the file name, then fill the field as GET filename.
    once this has executed successfully, it will be placed in sap directory './' . To view this, go to AL11 and double click this directory. search for the filename that you had downloaded.
    Hope this helps you.
    Regards.

  • Problems regarding the manifest file in deploying an ear file

    I have developed one jar file(classes.jar) for my all my classes built.
    I have now one ejb module jar file which refers to my classes.jar throgh the mainfest.mf file of ejbmodule.jar file.
    I have one war file(web pplication) which also refers to my classes.jar file throgh its manifest.mf file.
    I am now making an ear file of all these (classes.jar,ejbmodule.jar and web.war).
    All these are at the same level.
    Now when the server starts,it needs some classes to refer.
    The deployed ear should be able refer to my classes.jar through the
    manifest.mf of the ejb as well as the web module file.
    But it not refering.I dont know what is the problem.
    <b>
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Class-Path: classes.jar

    Is there something else I need to do?

    if you structure is:
    myear.ear
    -->myejb.jar
    -->mywar.war
    -->classes.jar
    -->META-INF
    ---->manifest.mf

    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Class-Path: classes.jar
    Created-By: 1.4.2 Sun Microsystems Inc.
    all is fine.
    perhaps your error is when you startup the server. Can you send me you error when is starting server?

    By mistakely if I had deleted the files which are provided originaly in the Phone and memory card while we purchase the brand new piece.
    How can I get the lost contents. Are those files originaly provided in the phone memory and memory card important.
    I would also like to know what is the purpose of folders originaly provided in memory card e.g. 'Cities' . The folder 'Cities' in my phone consists of 137 MB. What if i delete that entire folder.
    I hope I would get replies on my questions asked above

    Hi,
    Depend of what was preloaded it is not important for your phone to function correct. Usual it is games, pictures and some music files. Those can be on the memory card or in the phone memory it is different from phone to phone. You will need to get the phone re-flashed in a service center to re-create the date.
    The folder cities will consist of map data for the application MAPS. You can re-create or change those files by installing OVI suite.

    SPLIT ITAB AT DEL INTO PHONE.
    *split itab at del1 into phone.
    *split itab at del2 into phone.
    ITAB-PHONE = ROW.
    ENDDO.
    WRITE : ITAB-PHONE.

    Hi,
    the statement u r using is wrong. It should be
    DATA: VALUE TYPE STRING.
    SPLIT ITAB-PHONE AT DEL INTO ITAB-PHONE VALUE.
    Always when u split the itab-phone the string will be split into two. so u need to give two variables after the into statement so the one will have first half of the string and the other will have the second half.
    also i didnt get ur point u r splitting ur record to PHONE and assigning ROW to it. Also there is no append statement for the table.
    thanks,
    Srinath.
