Searching a file in application server

Hi Guys ,
Any ways by which i can search a file passed in my program in the sap network ...
reagrds.

check out this link
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/code/d.asp?a=s&d=2241
In the code sample given there (for a different purpose), check out the form
<b>FORM SEARCH_PROT</b>
The code within this form is what is required for your case. Note that you have slightly modify the code, the code given there is for listing all files in the directory.
Just found a better sample at (after posting)

                 Have a look
            You can use this function module /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE for F4 help for application server file and then you can use the function module TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP to read data into internal table.
      access file from application server

    Now you will be able to get the filesize and the file in SDOK format sdokbin.
    Okay.
    You have to build an request and push the content to the user like:
      call method server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Type' value = value ).
      describe field file_content_binary-line length line_length in byte mode.
      bytes_rest = file-size.
      loop at file_content_binaries assigning <file_content_binary>.
        move <file_content_binary>-line to data.
        if bytes_rest <= 0. "mismatch between line values and size
          exit.
        endif.
        if bytes_rest >= line_length.
          call method server->response->append_data( data = data
            length = line_length ).
        else.
          call method server->response->append_data( data = data
            length = bytes_rest ).
        endif.
        bytes_rest = bytes_rest - line_length.
      endloop.
    This will work.
    You can set the header fields like you want. Have also a look at sicf node contentserver
    and its handler: CL_HTTP_EXT_CSIF

  • Downloading file to application server

    Hi,
    I have requirement of downlaoding some (.doc,.xls,.txt,.ppt) files into application server from sap r/3,the file will be picked by some other 3rd party application.
    I was able to achieve it using OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER,but the data gets encrytped and the actual file is not copied to application server.(example if its .doc file the same file data should be copied to app server and not the encrypted file data like 5%%#.......6234726&&%212).
    The encrypted file again displays like exact file as its uploaded when downloaded from app server.
    But the file in app server is encrypted,my requirement is to copy the exact file to app server.
    This encryption is happening when is OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER,even the FM ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER is also using  OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER only.
    Please suggest me any other way to move file to app server other than OPEN DATA SET and TRANSFER.
    Thanks,
    Phani.

    Hi Experts
    my requirement is i have to send the payment advice created from F110 to respective vendors as mail in Alias name and i am able to send it succes fully with BTE2040. but the client came up with new requirement that we have to save this payment advice form send to vendor in applicattion server in the same format ( i.e., PDF form). i tried searching for any user exit (or) BTE but couldnot get so, can you please give my your suggetion, how to achive this task.

    1.You can send and save the pdf form in the same BTE EVENT 2040.
    2.How to save the PDF-BASED form to application server.
       Transaction CG3Z for uploading file to application server
       Transaction CG3Y for downloading file from application server
       I think you can use BDC to revord CG3Z and then use it in code of BTE2040.

  • How best store files on application server: Tables vs File system

    Hi Experts,
    We want to let users to upload files to application server. The number of files can potencially grow over time (1000 files every month) though I whould like to limit size of each file not more than 1-2 MB.
    Also files should be classified (having custom attributes) so later on we need to search, select files according to attributes.
    So what are the best options in long run (for performance, reliability etc)?
    We have NW system 7.0 with MaxDB
    I can think of the following options:
    1. Store files in TRANSPARENT table in RAWSTRING. Easiest variant (to select files etc) Here I have concerns how this table and database behave after some period of time and what will happen if size will grow to let say 50 GB. Will it work? What are normal size limits for transparent tables?
    2. Store files in CLUSTER table in RAWSTRING. Less convenient to work with (joins are not allowed etc). Will cluster table help to handle big size of table? What are practical size limits for cluster tables?
    3. Store files on file system (on application server) and write info (attributes etc) into ztable. Select from ztable and read content file from file system (dataset commands?). So files will be written to one directory just one after another.
    What are the best option to follow? I would personally prefer option 1 as easiest but have servious concerns regarding size of one transparent table.
    What do you recommend?
    Regards,
    Dmitry.
    Edited by: Dmitry Kalmykov on Jul 28, 2009 8:58 AM

    Hi,
    I too feel that option 1 would be best choice.
    For your ref: Check the Transp.table REPOSRC and the field name DATA
    Also Check the technical settings (Size category).

  • Function module to read xml files from application server

    Hi experts,
            I need to read  xml files from application server to sap. Is the any siutable function moldule for that?

    Hi Cenosure,
    Donno about FM which will upload data directly to SAP, I think you have to do some mapping for it so that it will suit the SAP format. Again it depends on your requirement..
    Please elaborate more about your requirement.
    Please have a look on below FM
    TEXT_CONVERT_XML_TO_SAP
    Also search on SCN there are many threads on the same topic available.
    http://abapreports.blogspot.com/2008/09/upload-xml-file-from-application-server.html
    This is the link which will give you the Code
    http://www.geocities.com/rmtiwari/Resources/MySolutions/Dev/Codes/Report/Z_RMTIWARI_XML_TO_ABAP_46C.html
    Use this XML file to Upload the same, this Program will work for your XML file also,
    http://www.geocities.com/rmtiwari/Resources/MySolutions/Dev/Codes/Report/input_xml.xml
    See the below thread also
    Upload XML to internal table and vice versa in SAP 4.6C
    Hope it will solve your problem..
