Run remote batch file from Web Application Server

Hello,
I've developyed a Java program and deployed it on WAS v7.1.
My java program tries to run a remote batch file which is located on remote Windows file system (and not on the WAS file system itself).
The batch file was launched on the remote server (I saw it on the Task Manager of the remote server), but the remote batch file actually wasn't run (it was stuck).
In order to run the remote batch file from my java program that is deployed on the WAS I've created a batch file on the WAS file system which its contnet is:
cd c:\jobs
psexec.exe
iltlvt40 -u SAPServiceCE1 -p a2i2000! c:\automation\DiskSpace\runDiskSpace.bat
The jobs folder contains the psexec.exe file (you can find more details about the psexec on this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx).
iltlvt40 is the remote server.
SAPServiceCE1/a2i2000! is a user/password on the remote server which has a full permissions.
My java program calls this batch file using the Runtime.exec() java method in order to run the remote batch file.
Please guide me how to solve this problem?
Best regards,
Ahmad

Hi,
To which batch file you have meant to add some commands: for the local one or remote?
I've added to the local one some different commands and it's works.
I think there is a permission problem when we are trying to go out of the WAS file system.
Best regards,
Ahmad

Run a batch file from demantra workflow

I am trying to run a batch file from demantra's workflow by creating an executable step.
I am getting the following error.
Error description ’’Invalid command line:’’"D:\Oracle Demantra Spectrum\Collaborator\demantra\sop\populate_staging.bat"
I am giving the following value in command line of executable step.
"#application_root#\sop\populate_staging.bat"
The batch file exists in the appropriate folder.
Following code is in the batch file.
sqlldr userid=msdem/msdem@demsbx control=load_item_hier.ctl
Please help me.
Thanks

This should work for you-
Create a batch file on your current server (ODI) and write in the path to the other batch file on the other server.
//Server2completename/D$/Path/yourbatchfile.bat
From ODI call your batch file that you created on the same machine.. which will inturn call the other batch file on a different machine to execute batch client.
Also can you paste the errors that you may be getting.. need to check if you are getting any specific issue related to this.
Thanks

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Try:
REPORT ztest MESSAGE-ID 00.
PARAMETER: p_file LIKE rlgrap-filename   OBLIGATORY.
DATA: BEGIN OF data_tab OCCURS 0,
      data(4096),

Error executing batch file within web application

Hi all,
I am trying to execute a batch file from within my web application (struts 1.2).
The batch file is being kept inside the 'src' folder. The batch file contains only one command to open NOTEPAD.
The code inside my Action class is:
URL url = getClass().getResource("/test.bat");
java.io.File file = new java.io.File(url.getPath()) ;
String path = file.getCanonicalPath();
r.exec(path);
I have deployed this on tomcat and get an error like this:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Program%20Files\Apache%20Software%20Foundation\Tomcat%206.0\webapps\CIGTAFAPP\WEB-INF\classes\test.bat": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
The problem is not with the batch file because when I try to execute the file directly from the classes folder, it opens up the notepad editor.
I have a specific requirement where I need to create/read this batch file from within the project structure.
Can someone please help me with this?
Regards

The entire content of the file is as below:

Running a batch file kept on the server

Hi ,
I need to upload a file onto the application server then i have to call a batch file from my ABAP code kept on the same server .
The batch file takes 3 inputs the uploaded filename onto the server the new file name ( that can be any name ) and the delete flag parameter ( 0 or 1 ).
Is there any function module to do the same ??

Hi,
Follow the steps:
1) Define external operating system command say zcopytm1 using SM69 by using the following parameters:
Command name                            Operating system       Type
ZCOPYTM1                                Windows NT             Customer
Operating system command
e:\tm1out\tm1ph.bat
Parameters for operating system command
Leave this blank
tm1ph.bat is the batch file which it will execute.
2) First test it using SM49. Once satisfied use the following code to execute it thru ABAP:
DATA: BEGIN OF t_copy OCCURS 1.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE btcxpm.
DATA: END OF t_copy.
DATA:      statusline LIKE btcxp3-exitstat.

URGENT:- Running a batch file from java program

Author: pkanury
I am trying to execute a batch file from my java program using RunTime and Process . It can execute any dos command except for a batch file. Can anyone throw
some light ?? My code looks like this .....
cmd = "command.com /c X:\\grits\\scripts\\test.bat"; Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
The weird part is that p.waitFor() returns a status of 0 implying that the cmd has been executed successfully. But that is not the case. And my batch file is as simple as - type "ADADA" > junk.txt
Any help would be appreciated.

I think it should work when you use a String[] array
instead of a single String:
String[] cmd = { "command.com", "/C", "D:\\batch\\do.bat" };
Note: If the batchfile creates any output (i.e. files),
they will be stored in the directory of the application
which calls the batch file, not in d:\batch\...

How to run a batch file from within an Oracle 9i Form?

Hi, I would like to execute a batch file from within an oracle form - I'm assuming there's some PLSQL command I can use? I am not allowed to use any third party libraries, and I'm hoping I can get away without having to progam any C or Java to do it. I don't want to run my java program from my form, but my lecturer is insisting on it.
Can anyone help?
Thanx

How to pull all the txt files from an application server to oracle server

hi
i got some 30 txt files on java application server. i have two questions
1) can java guys will be able to move those files to some oracle directory that will be used by create external table command.
2) can oracle do that using a stored procedure ..but then for it i think i have to create ftppkg and ftpbdy and call and connect each time...
which one is better and why?
regards
raj

Hi,
You can create procedure to move file from application server to oracle server.
Code for list all files in directory
ops$tkyte@8i> GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV to ops$tkyte
2 /
Grant succeeded.
That grant must be given to the owner of the procedure.. Allows them to read
directories.
ops$tkyte@8i> create global temporary table DIR_LIST
2 ( filename varchar2(255) )
3 on commit delete rows
4 /
Table created.

Run a batch file from separate windows box to invoke DRM batch client

I need your suggestions on the following.
ODI & DRM are installed on separate boxes.
Now I want ODI to invoke a batch file (kept on DRM - Windows box, this batch file invokes DRM batch client to export the metadata). I tried using shared folder concept,but no success.
Any pointers please?

This should work for you-
Create a batch file on your current server (ODI) and write in the path to the other batch file on the other server.
//Server2completename/D$/Path/yourbatchfile.bat
From ODI call your batch file that you created on the same machine.. which will inturn call the other batch file on a different machine to execute batch client.
Also can you paste the errors that you may be getting.. need to check if you are getting any specific issue related to this.
Thanks

Error while extracting XML file from the application server

Hi ,
I am writing a XML file into the application server, after which when i try to extract the file to the local server using the report - RFASLDPC ,
the file is extracted, but with a '#' symbol at the first position.
Because of which the XML File does not open. But after i open the file in notepad and manually delete the '#' symbol and then reopen the file, it works fine.
Is there any way to remove the '#' symbol while extracting itself ??
Thanks in advance,
Vikas.

Select the option "No Character Set Conversion" in stead of Code page 1100.
However, I still have troubles -> the downloaded xml file misses a space on several places. This causes errors too.

Most web browsers can browse FTP. You can achieve what you want without writing a single line of code. How cool is that?

How run a batch file from VBS script?

I have written a script in which I create a batch file that I want to run. Running it from the Start menu with "Run..." works fine but I would like to do it automatically from the script. I can't find a command that works but I am a beginner, so I'm hoping someone's got a solution?!

Hi again!
Thank you for your help but I've just discovered that my problem probably doesn't have to do with the way that I call for the batch file. It's more like this:
The batch file is run but it only does its job some of the times... The batch contains one name of a converter application (Convert.exe) and the names of some databases and files. I've been told that the conversion should work if Convert.exe is located in the same folder as the files. Which it also does, if I run the batch from "Run..." but not from my code.
I had it working for a while when I had fiddled (as I said, I'm a beginner at this) with setting some drives, such as userDrv and changing some paths in the script settings. Since I didn't really know what I was doing though, I didn't save these settings when closing down DIAdem and now it's not working again. When it worked, it only worked for the file where my .VBS was saved. The point of the program is to convert files in different folders so that wasn't enough.
Just for clearity: I can't write the name as "C:\My Folder..." because the batch file name and the folder it is situated in is different each time so I have variables for the path and the batch, but that part seems to work. (Call ExtProgram(batFilename_) where batFilename_ includes the path).
So I guess what I need to understand is how the different drives work or maybe I need to somehow change my path settings?

Moving of flat file from the application server after upload.

Hi All,
I am uploading data from a flat file placed on the application server by a BDC program.
After the BDC has created the session i want to transfer the flat file from that folder to another folder on the application server by changing the name of the flatfile.
Can any one suggest the best way of doing this particular scenario?
Thanks in advance.

Satish Nair.

Here is a sample program.
report zrich_0001.
data: d1 type localfile value '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.txt',
      d2 type localfile value '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data2.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.
