Dear consultant
This given below error come in 7th stap(Specify files) in LSMW, please guide me how to do it
File Name 'Converted Data': Max. 45 Characters. Remaining data saved.
Message no. /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060028
Diagnosis
Some import interfaces only accept file names (including path) that have a maximum of 45 characters.
System Response
All data except the file name of the converted data is saved.
Procedure
Adjust the file name for the converted data.
Regards
Mahesh

In specify file - > converted data the file name is formed using the PROJECT , SUBPROJECT NAME AND OBJECT NAME so the after concatenating it is going more than 45 char . so in specifyfile->converted data , reduce the file name ( by remove the some initial charaters ) to name less the 45 characters. this will slove u r issue.

LSMW problem (Specify files)

Hi Friends
I try to specify file in LSMW (from local PC).
<b>Legacy Data On the PC (Frontend)</b>
When I save this step I get error like "No Logical Path Specified".
What should I do to correct this problem. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Hari

Srikanth thanks.
When I check logical path & file for converted data, those fields are mandatory fields. There is now value assigned, so I get this error. Now I assign logical path & file which already defined in system.
For the lofical path, when I check in FILE transaction it has physical path as /usr/sap/DEV/SYS/global/<FILENAME>.
But when I assign this logical path in LSMW (converted data)..I get error message like "Logical path does not point to physical directory"
What should I do in this case.
Please explain me.
Thanks

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

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

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

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....

Lsmw error 'Specify Files first' while executing option 'Read Data'.

Hi All,
while trying to create mass users through LSMW, i am gettign the error 'Specify Files first' while executing option 'Read Data'.
I have specified file (.txt), manually created (with'1 tab space' between each term). i have used option 'On the PC(Frontend)'. No error while saving.
Next- i have executed 'Assign Files', where the file appeared automatically.
Next- Here, when i try to execute 'Read Data', i get the error 'Specify Files first'.
Can anyone help in resolving this error.

Hello Plaban,
What is your purpose? Are you tring to upload the data with more file variant?
There are two possibilities to make file names more variable:
1.If you choose system dependent file names by setting the according flag (in the first step 'Maintain object attributes'), you can define file names for each system in step 'Specify files' by assigning the files to a specific system ID (with a double-click on the specified file).
2.You can use wildcards in the file names where you can assign several values.
I hope this helps you.

Blanca

Hi,
Refer the oss note 753511 released for this kind of error you face in LSMW, I am pasting the content of the note below,
******************Note Content,
Symptom
The system issues an error message for the logical path or file when you perform the "Specify files" step in the Legacy System Migration Workbench (transaction LSMW) although you have made the correct assignment in transaction FILE.
The error messages are as follows:
The logical path <PATH> does not point to the physical directory.
The logical file <FILE> is not assigned to the physical file.
or
A logical path was not specified.
Other terms
Logical path, logical file, transaction FILE, LSM Workbench
Reason and Prerequisites
Some import interfaces that you can also use with transaction LSMW work with logical path and file names.
Transaction LSMW itself, however, works with physical file names. To be able to transfer the LSMW file with the converted data to the import program, you must specify a logical file name for the file with the converted data in addition to the physical file name. In this case, the system displays additional fields in the 'Specify files' step in which you must enter the logical path and file name.
Solution
The error messages may be due to several causes. Check the following:
Have you maintained the logical path and logical file name and have you assigned them to the physical file specified in the "File" input field of transaction LSMW?
These settings are maintained in transaction FILE.
When you use logical file and path names, you must specify the name of the physical file with its path. If you have not specified any directory, you cannot assign any directory to the logical path in transaction FILE. In this case, the system uses the SAP Home directory on the application server by default. Bear in mind that the file name must not exceed the maximum length of 45 characters, including the path.
Up to LSMW version 1.7.2 (*):
If the logical file name specified does not point to the physical file (although it should do), the system adjusts the logical file name, that is, the information in transaction FILE is changed to the entries made in transaction LSMW. This may lead to unwanted side effects if the logical file is also used somewhere else. Therefore, SAP recommend that you always use separate logical paths and file names for transaction LSMW (the problem is corrected as of LSMW version 1.8.0, see below). If the logical file does not exist yet, it will be created upon request.
As of LSMW version 1.8.0 (*):
The settings of the logical file are checked but no longer adjusted automatically as in version 1.7.2 (see above). If there are inconsistencies, the system issues an error message. If the user is authorized to maintain logical paths and file names (as for transaction FILE: "Maintenance authorization for cross-client tables"), transaction LSMW can create the logical path, the file name and the file. Due to this automatic generation, the user no longer needs to make adjustments in transaction FILE. Therefore, we especially recommend this procedure.
To display the version of transaction LSMW, select "Extras" --> "Display LSMW version" in the main menu of the initial screen.
You should also bear in mind that as of Basis Release 6.20, that is, as of LSMW version 4.0, transaction LSMW is no longer an add-on but is delivered with the standard system.
Hope this helps,
Rgds,

LSMW -Specify files -No logical path specified

HI,
While i specify a file in lsmw in specify files from pc front end in legacy data and i try to save. It says " no logical path specified " in the message bar.
kindly help me in this issue.
i am unable to go further as I cant specify files.
Thank in advance

Hi Srivasta
You just put any, not used logical file name in your file definition step. LSMW will create this logical file byself und will use when is needed, but you just forget about it in future. Don't forget to recreate this file, when you move your LSMW to test and production systems, it is not created automaticaly there.
The way you enter logical path and logical name is,
Within the LSMW option 'Specify Files', Double click on
'Converted Data' and a popup box will allow you enter
file name , logical path and logical file.
cheers

reward points given .

Hi this can happen because of 2 reasons
1) If you are using 2 structures ( Header and Item ) then their are some fields which should be in both structures . And those field should have same value
You can check this in step ( Generate read programme ) . At this step there is statement like
loop at HEADER_ITEM_DATA
where OLD_SERVTICKET_NUM =
HEADER_DATA-OLD_SERVTICKET_NUM
in the above example OLD_SERVTICKET_NUM is a field which both structures should have same value
2) Second reason can be that number of fields in your flat file might not be same in your structures fields which you have defined in 3rd step
Plz check
Reward points
Thanks

what would be the problem .
Plz help me in this.
thanks,

rajkasi.

Just choose one of the logical files from the dropdown. This is not where you specify the file from PC. Hopefully there is one called "TEST". This is what I use for all of my LSMWs. It's just asking for a place to put the data that is read and converted.
