SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE / Parameters

Hi
I've setup af system commando called ZMYSQL using SM69.
When I try run the function
SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE using
ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS = '-h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --user=<uid> --password=<pwd> < c:\file.sql'
it for some reasson removes the '<' sign from my parameters, which make it fail.
Any knows how its possible to avoid this ? or is there a workaround ?
I can execute the system comand from the application server using.
mysql -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --user=<uid> --password=<pwd> < c:\file.sql

Maintain Blanks in SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE additional parameters

Hello guys,
we are trying to execute some commands in a Z function calling the function SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
We have a command Z and in the additional parameters and we fill the command with CMD('COPY T:
Documents
PXXX2
IEXXX.DOC \"E:
WORK
600613 MATERIAL 100333 (12345)\" ').
We want to maintain the blanks, but during the execution of function SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE a CONDENSE of the field additional parameters is done.
There is any way to maintain the blanks calling this function? There is another function that also executes commands and maintain the blanks?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Hi,
thanks for the answer. But thats doesn't match my problem. What I want is to start a shell-script with parameter whereas some parameters might include one or more blanks. Like for examples a script with only one parameter:
shell-script 'this is a parameter'
What I found out while testing with SM49 is, when I put the parameter into apostrophe than the parameter is passed as a single parameter to the script. But SM49 elsewell SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE condense more than blank to only one blank. And the apostrophe remain in the parameter.
SM49:
shell-script 'This is a parameter'
The shell-script gets the parameter 'This is a parameter' , whereas the apostrophe ' and the start and at the end is part of the parameter.
Using the function modules SXPG_RFCDEST_OPEN_INT, SAPXPG_START_XPG and SAPXPG_END_XPG instead of SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE solves the problem of condensing the blanks to one blank. But the apostrophe is still part of the parameter. And I have to consider that the apostrophe might be originally part of the parameter.
And I have to solve this problem.

FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE and parameters

Dear all !
I tried to execute the FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE (SM49, SM69) in order to execute SAPCAR on a couple of file on the server with the parameter
-cvf /usr/sap/SBD/interfaces//SP2/CH/BACKUP/comp.car ..
Unfortunately the FM changes the parameter string to UPPERCASE:
-CVF /USR/SAP/SBD/INTERFACES//SP2/CH/BACKUP/COMP.CAR .
Result is that SAPCAR finishes with :
46 SAPCAR: unknown command option CVF (error 20).
45 External program terminated with exit code 20 
Any ideas of how I can pass the parameter to SAPCAR without having it changed to UPPERCASE ?
Thanks in advance,
Philipp

Hi
If you are trying to excute the function module using SE37 there will be a check box on top saying uppper/Lower case.
Check the box it will work fine.
When using the function module inside the program no need to specify upper/lower case.

Error BT616 when calling function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE in background

Hi All,
We use function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE with a custom command we defined in SM69 to move files in unix (mv command).
The function module call has worked fine for almost a year and recently we have been seeing an error (BT616) in our job lob (SM37) when the program is run in background. We have not been able to reproduce the error in foreground mode and it seems to be occuring only periodically in the background. (The appropriate SAP authorization objects where assigned to the batch job ID and the steps on the batch job.) We are in the process of setting up the trace flag and performing analysis on the trace log via ST11 to help identify the issue.
After perform analysis on SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, the error is occurring when calling function module SAPXPG_END_XPG for exception 2, system failure, yet function module SAPXPG_END_XPG does not exist. I assume this is a program at the operating system level and is just a signature of the parameters to be passed to the operating system program.
Below is part of the SAP function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE that is failing.
* Now we have to wait for the termination of the external
* command if the caller wants us to.
    IF TERMINATIONWAIT = 'X'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SAPXPG_END_XPG'
        DESTINATION DESTINATION
        IMPORTING   EXITSTAT = STATUS
                    EXITCODE = EXITCODE
        TABLES      LOG      = LOG
        EXCEPTIONS COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 1 MESSAGE MSG
                    SYSTEM_FAILURE        = 2 MESSAGE MSG.
I performed a where used on function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, and most of SAP programs call the function module with the parameter TERMINATIONWAIT = 'X', so I assume we should pass X as well.
Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?
Mike Vondran

I also remember I have this kind of issue, as I have some UNIX script at OS( UNIX) level . The problem was with the ID , as it dont have proper authorization at OS level ( UNIX ) . Please check this ID authorization. This could be the one of reasons if youre sure from SAP standpoint.
Hope thisll give you some guide line..
Thanks

In this FM.. main three parameters are:
commandname
additional_parameters
exec_protocol
Commandname is the command created thru SM49 they are called external operating system command,,,
In this command first parameter is always an operating system command like..
ls for listing all files and directories
put etc
in additional_parameters you can pass the parameters for that command like for the command you can see the contents of some particular directory so u have to pass that directory path in additional_parameters field
i.e. additional_parameters = '/usr/sap/tmp'
and exec_protocol is the table which returns u the contents which are retrieved using that command...
e.g using ls command all files an dir names appended to this table...
You can use another FM is ur additional parametes field is very long..
 SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE_LONG
Two more parameters: STATUS and EXITCODE are very important... your command is run successfully only when STATUS = 'O' " Capital O
and
EXITCODE = '0' " Zero

SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE: ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS contains Blanks

Hi to all,
I want to start a shell-script with SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE on Linux. Therefor I have maintained a command with SM69.
I have to fill ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS with a list of parameters which are passed to the shell-script. Unfortunately some parameters contains blanks, such as a material description.
How do I have to call SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE so that a parameter "AA BB" or "CC DD" conserves as one parameter when it is passed to the shell-script and the shell-script can recognize these as one parameter and not as two or more.
Maybe someone has a suggestion for another solution to handle this problem.
Thanks in advance

SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE - transfer files to FTP

Our OS is Windows NT.
I am using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to execute a script to transfer files from R/3 App Server to FTP Server. I created a command in SM69.
command name: ZZ_MOVE
Operating system: Windows NT
Type: Customer
Operating system command: cmd
Parameters for operating system command: Full path of the batch file
This batch file contain command for transfer the files. I am getting an error..Command not found.....Is this correct parameters i am passing or anything wrong....

It's Windows NT server, it's not Unix system. I want to move files from one folder to another folder in Application server using FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
I have the Script (for moving files from one folder to another in Application Server). I pasted the script in notepad and saved as .bat file and dropped in Application server source folder. I gave the Application server file path(Script file location) in command create(Parameters for operating system command) in SM49.
Operating system command
cmd
Parameters for operating system command
C:\usr\sap\work\300\testftp.bat
Does it work this way ? I executed the command without errors but the file transfer not happening.....
My question Is does it works if i pass the Script file location in Command create ? if not how can i do this.....

Hi guys,
Issue has been resolved. I was writing the pdf file in the application server, wheras the Unix script had some other directory as its present working directory.
As we are using the same directory for the purpose, this directory and folder name was hard coded in the Unix script as well,
so that the confusion of path is resolved.
Thus this issue was resolved from the Unix script itself.
Thanks.

Hi Louie,
I am not able to assume the reason of the problem, If you say that its not getting executed in SM49 then the problem lies there.
So I am providing you a link which might be helpful, just go through it and cross check. There is a parameter called "trace" in the fm mentioned.

SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE failed for DB6_BACKUP Reason:Command_not_found

Hi,
When i have configured to take backup using DB13 in production b/w SERVER (SAP ECC 6.0) it is saying the following:
14.01.2008     11:39:41     Job started
14.01.2008     11:39:41     Step 001 started (program RSDBAJOB, variant &0000000000002, user ID BASIS)
14.01.2008     11:39:42     Execute logical command DB6_BACKUP On host prprd1
14.01.2008     11:39:42     Parameters:PBW OFFLINE TO /dev/rmt/0mn BUFFERS 0 BUFFERSIZE 0 PARALLELISM 0
14.01.2008     11:39:43     SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE failed for DB6_BACKUP - Reason: command_not_found
14.01.2008     11:39:43     Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Actually when it is doing it should execute the following DB6_DBBACKUP logical command but it is saying it used DB6_BACKUP logical command which is not there.
In DB13, when i see the previous backups which were sucessfully completed r not seen, but in the job log SM37 it is showing.
Auditing was done by SAP and kernel is updated for production system. Is it creating any problem?
Expecting a solution.

Using this function module, you can check the authorization of a user to execute a particular external command and run the command:
With the arguments specified in ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS
On the target host system defined by OPERATINGSYSTEM and TARGETSYSTEM
If an SAP profile parameter is inserted in the portion of the command stored in the database, then the value of this parameter is substituted into the command. If an SAP application server is active on the target system (TARGETSYSTEM), then the profile parameter values are read from the profile that is active on that system. No parameter substitution is made in ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS.
After substitution, the command is checked for the presence of "dangerous" characters such as the semicolon ( ; ) on UNIX systems.
If an additional "security function module" is specified in the command definition, this function module is also called in the course of processingebenfalls. This function module can prevent execution of the command.
If the authorization checks complete successfully, the command is run on the target host system.

When i check detail logs also it is throwing error " SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE failed for BRCONNECT - Reason: program_start_error: For More Information, See SYS ".
DB and CI are on different hosts.
SAP : SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0
DB : Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
OS : HP-UX
Gateway is running, I see gateway profiles exist at OS level in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile.
But gateway profiles haven't been created in RZ10.
Is this causing the issue. Can you please help me out here.
Thanks in advance.

It's using RFC to connect so check SM59 -> TCP/IP Connections -> SAPXPG_DBDEST_<SID>
Make sure the Technical Settings are correct and you can do a successful "Connection Test".
