SPOOL file path

How/Where to check the path for SPOOL File in SQL.
I am getting the following error while spooling:
SP2-0606: Cannot create SPOOL file "A.LST"
Pls suggest.

If you SPOOL without specifying a full path it will create the file in the current directory that you started SQL*Plus from.
So if I was in:
C:\Documents and Settings\joe.user\
And logged into SQL*Plus and typed SPOOL it would create a file in the directory specified above.
While you are in SQL*Plus you can check the current working directory by doing the following
Windows: SQL> host cdLinux: SQL> !pwdHTH.

File path problem in background job spool

Hello ,
i have probelm in file path of the background job in spool.
i have selection screen
Radiobutton : p_local
parameter: path1.
Radibutton: p_applicatioserver
parameter: path2.
if i keep program in background job, it will alwas take second option.
Now user selected first option and executed job in abckground. File stored in the spplication server with corect file path name. (path2)
But when i go to sm37 entered job name and checked the spool, it gives me the file path name path1. but i need the file path1 in the background spool. my question whether i need to change the file path name in program or whether i have to change the setting
Regards,
zub

First of all, local is not an option in background job; you can only save to the apps server, and your program should take that into consideration by checking for sy-batch = 'X', for example. You should be checking in your at selection-screen to be sure the user has not chosen local path and file and background job.

Can a spool file be sent as an attachment in the decision step?

Hi,
I have z program that runs in background and produces a spool file. Normally, I can use tcode SP01 to display this file. At the end of this z program, I call SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE to send a workflow into SAP inbox. I want to know if I somhow can send the spool file along also? I read about attachment and SOFM object but still can't figure out what I need to do yet. Please help.
Thank you,

How to spool file to where start script file located

I'm writing a sqlplus script, eg. runMe.sql, which is going to run in customer env, will generate some data files eg. result.csv.
By specify location such as 'spool /certain/path/on/disk/result.csv', I can spool to any path I want. However, my concern is below:
1. We gets many customers and the script might be run under different location.
2. I don't know where customer would save the script, furthermore, I don't want customer to input location manually every time.
3. Generally, customer would run the script something like "sqlplus username/password@sid @/certain/path/on/disk/runMe.sql". They don't want to pass any parameter at run time.
4. I wanna spool file to "/certain/path/on/disk" automatically, as a result, result.csv file would appear under same path with runMe.sql.
5. I tried "spool ./result.csv" but it navigate to where sqlplus session is running.
6. Also tried &0 etc, but make no sense.
Can anyone tell me how to obtain start running script file path in sqlplus script(runMe.sql) ? Just like access command parameters under Linux.
$0 is the name of the command
$1 first parameter
$2 second parameter
$3 third parameter etc. etc
$# total number of parameters
$@ all the parameters will be listed
Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for SQLPATH ?
A good and clear example by Paul @ https://forums.oracle.com/message/3727891
In this way your customer has to set one environment variable SQLPATH=/location/of/script/file/where/they/put/your/runMe.sql and just say :
spool %sqlpath%\result.csv
in your runMe.sql. So, runMe.sql and result.csv will be on SQLPATH location.

Convert a SAPScript spooled file to PDF

I have an urgent request to build a front-end interface to map the parameters to SAP Standard object RFOAVIS_FPAYM. This is the driver program for Remit (Payment) Advice Notes using SAPScript. I need to create a way to submit RFOAVIS_FPAYM and Return back to the calling program after the Remit Note has been created in the SAP spooler. Then I need to read the spooled file and pass the parameters to the FM CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF to create a PDF version and email the PDF via SAPConnect.
Has anyone done something similar? I am looking for help in capturing the newly created SAPScript form in the spooler and passing the correct parameters to FM CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF so that I will convert the correct output..

Take a look at these two Process BTEs, Business Transaction Events.
00002040 Autom. pmnt transactns: Output of pmnt advice note
00002050 Autom. pmnt transactns: Output of pmnt advice note
Look at them from Tcode BF05 . They can be created from the Customizing Tcode SPRO.
The help document for BTEs in Tcode SPRO is really quite good.

The documentation:
Business Transaction Events
This activity describes how you can connect additional components (such as in the form of function modules developed yourself or a product from an external software provider) to the standard R/3 System.
There are two types of interface available in the General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL), Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable (FI-AR/FI-AP), and Sales and Distribution (SD) components for this:
1. Publish & Subscribe interfaces (also called "informing interfaces" in the following)
These should inform you about particular events (such as a document being entered) in the SAP standard application and make the data generated as a result available to the external software. The external software does not return any data to the standard R/3 System. Examples of such events in the R/3 System are:
Master record was created, changed, or blocked
Document was entered, parked, changed, or reversed
Items were cleared or reset
Additional processing can be caused in the additional component on the basis of these events and data:
Starting a workflow
Generating or changing additional data
Requesting correspondence
2. Process interfaces (also referred to as "process" in the following)
Process interfaces are used to submit business processes to a different control which cannot be realized with the standard system, that is process interfaces replace standard processes.
Here you can structure determination of individual field contents or of specific reactions to process flows individually. It is possible to connect different external developments to the standard R/3 System. The additional developments are generally carried out using the ABAP/4 Development Workbench.
This way you can, for example, influence the control of payment transactions. Selection of payment method, house bank and partner bank can be made using the payment data (currency, amount, and payee) according to a selection logic which you have defined.
Standard settings
Sample modules are delivered in the standard R/3 System which you can copy into your name range and fill them with statements there.
Activities
1. Enter a product using "Settings -> Customer's products". There are generally a large number of function modules belonging to a product which can be called by different program events from within the standard R/3 System. A product can also be an external software component.
If the product is in an external system, enter an RFC destination here. If the product is in the same system, you do not have to enter anything.
Important: Do not forget to activate the product after making the following settings.
2. Establish the interfaces with which the R/3 System provides you.
To do this, choose Environment -> Info system (P/S) or Environment -> Info system (Processes).
Execute the program. You should enter "A" as the attribute type. You see the respective interfaces with which the R/3 System provides you. Note the key of the interface which you require.
You can also select:
By particular SAP application components
By particular events by entering intervals
Which interfaces are used in activated products
Which interfaces are used within a particular country version or within a particular industry
Which interfaces are used within a particular customer product
3. Enter the function module which you have developed yourself. To do this, choose either Goto -> Edit modules within the info system or Settings -> P/S modules or Process modules -> Customer's in the "SAP Business Framework" menu.
Make the following entries:
Key for the interface
The product that you want to use
Function module which belongs to this product.
You can also enter several function modules for a product.
Caution: The function module must be within your name range, that is must begin with the letter Z.
You leave the Ctr and Appl. fields blank unless you want a particular country version or a particular SAP industry-specific component to be enhanced or replaced instead of the standard process flow.
4. Fill the source text of your function module and activate it.
To do this, go again via Environment -> Info system (P/S) or Environment -> Info system (Processes) into the information system and execute the program. Then proceed as follows:
Click twice on the interface you have chosen. If you want, you can look at the interface at this point by choosing Goto -> Interface. Then choose the Back function again afterwards.
Place the cursor on the relevant line and choose Goto -> Function library. You see the sample function module delivered by SAP.
Copy the sample module delivered by SAP and call it the same as the function module entered in step 3.
Fill the source text of the empty function module.
Activate the function module.
Activate the product as described in step 1.
5. Run the R/3 program affected and test whether calling your function module works.
Further notes
The other menu paths are only used for information about additional components delivered by SAP or about software already installed by external software providers.

Schedule a ABAP query from SQ01 to transfer the output to a file path

I am trying to schedule an ABAP query to run every night and transmit the output as a .TXT file to a particular file path on a server. In the "output format" of the selection screen I selected the second last radio button "File store" and entered the full path and file name.
When I run this in foreground I get a pop up window confirming the file path before it is downloaded. I have to just hit enter. But when I run in background the file gets transmitted to the spool and not to the file path entered in "File Store".
Is there any way I can make the file go to the specified path instead of the spool?
Any help will be appreciated

See documentation for enhancement SQUE0001. Go to SMOD, enter SQUE0001, and choose documentation.
I had the same requirement, and I used enhancement SQUE0001 to create a screen exit that adds the selection, "private file". I then created a variant for my query with the private file button selected and the path included, and set up a batch job to run my query with my variant every night.
Hope that helps.

Save Spool File to Local PC

Hi there,
We have run our P60 program which has created a spool file which can be seen
in SP01 as a PDF file.
When I go into the menu SPOOL REQUEST => Forward => the save as local file is greyed out :
I need to download this file to my local PC.
Does anybody know how to do this.
Thanks
Andy

Hello,
It is a very simple process.
Go to SP01, and select the spool number which you want to save as PDF.
Follow the below path:
Goto-->Display Requests-->Content
this will show the content which is to be printed using this spool number.
Then type PDF! ( exclamation mark) which will give a pop up like screen to you. This is actually a PDF preview.
Navigate your mouse toward the below part of the screen and a save button will come. You can now save the file.

Hrishav

Error SP2-0333: Illegal Spool File Name: (bad character: ' ')

Below is my spool file logic just to test outputting to a spool file with a date in the spool file. The date part works fine. I can see the date coming out in the error message. It doesn't like the spaces, but I am not in control of the folder names. Any ideas? I have tried putting single and double quotes around it to no avail. I also tried using the concatenation operator || to separate the path from the filename and that didn't work, either.

/sapmnt/SID/GLobal SPOOL Files

Hi
We are using Adboe forms and when spool request generate for the Form, there are three files generating on the OS Level @ /sapmnt/SID/global directory. The three files as follows.
SPOOL0000014229_00001.xfd
SPOOL0000014229_00001.pcl
SPOOL0000014229_00001.cfg
We have hundresds of PDFs getting generated everyday and its filling up the FILE system at OS level. These files are deleted when we delete the spool request from SP01.We would like to know if there is any process where we can delete the files from he OS level or can we change in the program tp change path of the files to store in diffrent location.
Regards,
Mahesh Shetty

if there is any process where we can delete the files from he OS level !!
You can use the cron utility (unix) at OS level to delete files from the @ /sapmnt/SID/global directory
.For eg : To delete files older than 2 days schedule the below command through cron to run daily .
find /sapmnt/SID/global/ -mtime +2 -type f -exec rm {} \; (Be careful )
or from SAP level schedule the report RSPO1041 daily to delete spool files.Thanks
Other wise ,if you are using a particular output device to generate the spool you can do the following for the device in transaction SPAD
SPAD -> Change output device -> Edit -> Data storage. and choose storage as database.

RMAN spool file empty after the run

DB Version: 10gR2
OS : SunOs 5.10
In CATALOG mode, i run scripts in OS path like below
connect target sys/oracle123 catalog rman/secretpass@rmancat @'/path_in_targetdb_machine/bkp.rcv'bkp.rc looks like below. The backup runs fine and the spool file gets created. But the spool file is empty ! Any idea why?
spool log to /home/oracle/spool.log
run{
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck copy;
crosscheck backup of database;
crosscheck backup of controlfile;
delete expired backup;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
run {
recover copy of database with tag "INCR_BKP";
     backup check logical incremental level 1 format '/bkp_dir/INCR_%d_%u' for recover of copy with tag "INCR_BKP" database;
     backup (archivelog all format='/bkp_dir/arch_logs/ARCH_%d_%T_%u_s%s_p%p' DELETE ALL INPUT TAG "arch_logs");
     backup format '/bkp_dir/ctrl_file/RMAN_CTL_%s:%t:%p.bkp' current controlfile;
spool log off;
exit;

Hello,
If you intend to get the logs of the RMAN statement execution, you may instead use the option LOG when you launch RMAN. For instance,
rman @<rman_script>.rcv LOG <rman_log>.logHope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Can't create spool file

Hi,
I've problems in creating spool file. I've some PL-SQL scripts, running monthly with sqlplus on Windows 2000, that have always generated spool file using the statements "spool filename.log".
Two days ago, I run this scripts and I noticed that they didn't create the log file, but nothing has been changed.
I noticed that changing the script with "spool c:\filename.log" the spool file is correctly generated.
I run the script using sqlplus user/pwd@db @c:\script.sql and in the body of the script there is:
whenever oserror exit SQL.OSCODE rollback
whenever sqlerror exit SQL.SQLCODE rollback
spool faXXXXX_X.log
Set autocommit off timing on echo on feedback on termout on serveroutput on
set escape ^
DECLARE
Why "spool filename.log" suddenly stop to work? There is some enviroment variable who determine the default directory of spooled file?

My PATH variable has a lot of directories, some of them are "C:\oracle\ora81\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin;C:\oracle\ora92\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.3.1\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\bin;C:\orant\bin;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;"
I make a "search" for the spooled file in all the directories of the hard disk; the problem is that the spooled file has not been created but the SQL script terminated succesfully. What's the possible reason?

How to configure spool file location

Hi all,
I want to configure a default spool file location, so whenever I use spool in my SQL script, the file will be saved in this location. Please help me on how to configure it.
Thanks in advance

The spool file ends up in the path you specify, or in the working directory (where you start sqlplus), like this:
C:\>
C:\>cd %my_spool_dir%
C:\oracle\admin>sqlplus ...
sql> spool test
Or you could just use your own standard spool.sql script as zetabouy suggests!

Spool file location

I have a shell script that calls 20 SQL scripts. Each SQL script spools the output to a file. I haven't given any path for the spool files but only gave names to the spool files.
I open a SQL session from within the shell script and run the 20 SQL scripts. To which directory will the 20 spool files be sent from the shell script?

To current directory from which you have started sqlplus:
C:\Documents and Settings\mob>sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

Search c:\ drive and return file path for winword.exe and save as variable

Hi all, here is what I'm trying to do;
1. Search C:\ drive for winword.exe
2. take the file path and save it as a variable.
3. Then based on the path value, use the switch statement to run "some command"
Essentially I'm trying to find what the file path for winword.exe is, then run a command to modify the registry. I already have the script that will modify the registry like I want but the problem it, the path is hard coded in the script, I want to
now look for all versions of word and set the right file path so I can make the right registry changes.

This should get you started:
