How to Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing SAP PI

Hi,
We are trying to execute multiple commands via "Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing".
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands get executed fine.
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
/this works fine/
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands, none of the commands get executed.
eg:
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
or
wc -l %F > /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Is it possible to execute multiple commands or redirect the output of commands without using a shell script? The PI server we are working on iis hosted on UNIX environment.

Hi Harleen,
try like this
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
instead of semicolon try this
(1) &
command1 & command2
Execute Command1 and then execute Command2
(2) &&
command1 && command2
Runs the command2 only when command1 doesn't Complete successfully
(3) ||
command1 || command2
Runs the second command if the first command had an error
(4) ()
(command1 || command2) || (command3 & command4)
Defines the order in which commands are to be executed

Operating System Command After File Processing in Sender File Adapter

Hello guys,
actually we have different interfaces, and the client to take all the files from only one directory, for example D:/DPI.
Unitl now we had one adapter for every file with the content conversion, so we didn't have problems with that. Now we have the problem that we sould maintain an order processing files.
We thougth that an idea could be to execute one file pointing to D:/DPI and at the Operating System Command put like: copy D:/DPI/file.txt D:/DPI/outbound/file.txt, so when file is executed, we move the next file to another directory where is pointing the adapter. Doing this we have an error on the adapter giving us the message: Could not process due to error: java.lang.NullPointerException
We are using a Windows.
There is anyway to do in our way, or there is a better solution to resolve this problem?
Any other idea to do this?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Helo Guys,
maybe I haven't explained well.
We have one directory with different files. We have one adapter for every file( we need for the content conversion ) using NFS and all the adapters are pointing to the same directory.
The problem is that if we have files A.txt, B.txt and C.txt we need to process in an order.
And the problem we see is that for every file we have one adapter, so for example if we process file A.txt with one adapter, when this part is finished, we want to process file B.txt with another adapter, and the same for the rest of the files.
So the idea we had is to create another directories, and when A.txt has finished move file B.txt to another directory.
However this way is not running, if we log on the PI machine and execute cmd, we can do a copy of one file from one directory to another, but when we put this sentence in the adapter in OS command if we see the adapter log we see an error executing the OS command, but we don't know what is the error, there is no more information.
There is any way to do this or maybe we have to manage in a different way?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

RUN OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND BEFORE MESSAGE PROCESSING

hi.
just i want to know what is the purpose of run operating system command before message processing,after message processing under file sender adapter.
waiting for your great answer.
bye.
regards.
seeta ram.

Hello Seeta,
let me see if I give it using a simple scenario that I implamented : i nedd to transfer a very large file from one server to the other by XI.
to save space and network traffic I use an OS command before picking up the file to run a zip command to zip the file.
after I transfer the file to the target server I run another OS command after the transfer to unzip the file.
now to your second question:
the before Os command on the target server is used mostly for checks (make sure there isn't a file by that name or backing up existing data)
and the after sender OS command is usualy for backing up or erasing existing files (cause it is done only after the first part was finished succesfully).
Uri Lifshitz.
p.s.
there was a blog obout this titled "XI as a huge file mover"
and you can see a description and my scripts at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/profile/2007/05/03/additionaltipsforusingXIasahugefiletransfer%28withbatchscripts%29&

System command in Process chain

Hello,
I have a system command in the process chain which points to a command file that is supposed to run. My problem is that when I transport the PC, the path on the system command remains same.
I want it to change the path from /md.... in dev to /mq... in QA and /ma... in PROD.
Is there anyway to automate this process? Right now i have to keep track of it and change the system command in each system. I have missed a couple and it creates some problems.
Thanks
Sam

Hello Sam,
One way to solve this is to work this with your UNIX administrator. You can do the following:
1) Create a symbolic link in your dev, qa, and prod which points to the correct directory.
For example, in dev, you can do the following:
link -s <whatever new name here, e.g. target> /md
In QA, you can do the following:
link -s <whatever new name here, e.g. target> /mq
and so on..
2) Instead of using the /md, /mq directories, you can use the symbolic directory instead in your system commands.
e.g. ls -l /target instead of ls -l /md
This might not help you a lot now but it will make things easier in the future because you will know that the symbolic link points to the correct directory of whatever box.
Hope this helps.

Unable to run a Batch File Operating System Command

Using XI 3.0, I am unable to run a Batch File Operating System Command After Message Processing.
My Batch file:
gpg -se -r BOA3RSKY --armor --passphrase-fd 0 %1 < C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\gpgin
My Command Line (ID scenario)
exec "cmd.exe /c C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\boagpg.bat %F"
If I execute
exec "cmd.exe /c type C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\boagpg.bat >xis.txt"
It displays the contents of boagpg.bat file in xis.txt.
I just don't understand why when I run the batch file, I would expect an %F.asc encrypted file in the same directory as the %F unencrypted file.
Any ideas?
or will I need Basis to create commands that will allow me to run GPG from XI Command Line?

Execute external operating system command

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement to run a script file with extention '.PL' on the application server using ABAP.
i have sample how to run it in XI.
XI3.0 provides a very simple way of handling this using the "Operating System Command" in the File Adapter.
I post my output file in the following folder,
/usr/sap/sapout/test/
The shell script is available in the following path,
/usr/sap/bin/convert.pl
The figure below explains as to how we call the shell script using "Operating System Command".
File Acess parameters
      Target Directory      = /usr/sap/sapout/test/
      File Name Scheme = TestOutput.txt
Processing Parameters
     File Construction Mode          = Add Time Stamp
     File Type                              = Binary
     Operating System Command = /usr/sap/bin/convert.pl %F
I have to do the same thing in ABAP as it has been done for XI as mentioned in the above example.
My operating system is UNIX.
If any one can give me a sample it would be really helpful to me.
Thanks in advance,
Arundhathi.

Hi Arundhati,
You can run operating system commands from ABAP.
e.g. If you want to change UNIX right for any file, you can use following code.
lv_ucomm = 'chmod a+rwx 123.txt'.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lv_ucomm.
whatever command you provide in Field parameter ( lv_ucomm in the above case ), ABAP run that command at operating system level.
In your case, you can provide command in lv_ucomm to run script at operating system level.
Hope it will help you.

Supressing Dos window on executing system command

Hey,
is there any way to supress the dos window when I call a system dependent .exe or bat file?
AND
is there any way to run a .exe file as a background process so that no window of it pops up?
I use the Runtime.exe() to execute the system command but I'm annoyed by the dos windows it opens up.
Any help highly appreciated.

This is an AGE OLD Issue which Sun keep burying. By burying I mean it has been the top of their bugs/requests list many times. They just decide its closed without making any such fixes. The community is not pleased with Suns actions in this respect, blowing off their highest rated request.
Answer:
If you start your program with java.exe, then you wont get that window when you do runtime commands. If you start with javaw.exe, you will. They are blaiming it on M$ but most feel its just a silly Sun position and lame attempt to put somethign on M$ that is not really on M$. Sun can do it but they feel their solution is unstable. Most people have ended up making .exes to replace java.exe to get rid of that hideous console window. JBuilder has an interesting (but not my type) solution.
If you search the top 10 bugs/ requests this one has likely resurfaced as Sun keeps erasing it, but the people keep voting it back to the top...

How can I pass system commands from a java program? Urgent!

hi,
I have been trying this out since a long time. How do I send system commands to command.com or cmd.exe from a java program and an output of the executed command back to the java application.
If u have any idea, or have any information about the kind os application reply back.
Thanks
Deepa Datar

This is the code which I tried, but it displays only the title of MS-DOS, something like " Microsoft Corp...etc ". But doesn't take any input, and the subprocess(cmd.exe) hangs.
import java.io.*;
public class cmddemo2
public static void main(String arg[])
try
System.out.println("cmd");
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe");
DataInputStream din=new DataInputStream(p.getInputStream());
DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("after streams");
String s;
dout.writeChars("type cmddemo2.java");
while((s=din.readLine())!="\n")
System.out.println(s);
dout.writeChars("dir");
String s1;
while((s1=din.readLine())!="\n")
System.out.println(s1);
System.out.println("over");
catch(Exception e)
{ System.out.println("Exception : "+e);

Urgent!! running system command in java

i am trying to run system command(windows) in java. I am getting
exception as java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: c:\dir
Please Help.
Here is the code
import java.io.*;
public class RunCommand {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try
//run dir command
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\dir");
BufferedReader stdInput=new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError =new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
//read the output
System.out.println("here is the output:\n");
while((s=stdInput.readLine())!=null){
System.out.println(s);
System.out.println("here is the error if any");
while((s=stdError.readLine())!=null){
System.out.println(s);
System.exit(0);
}//end try
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println("exception Happened" );
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);

It works fine if you replaceProcess p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\dir");withProcess p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c dir");And don't forget to define your s variable.

Inbound delivery creation in WM - mapping to process type 1011 in EWM

Hi All,
I am new to EWM and have to configure handling units for picking and putaway in EWM.
I am creating an inbound delivery w.r.t Purchase order in WM and passing it to EWM. During the warehouse order creation I am packing the materials in a packing material. however, the warehouse process type is 1010 and I want it to relflect 1011.
So I wanted to know how to configure the system either on the WM or the EWM side so that when the inbound delivery is received on the EWM side it maps it to process 1011.
Arup

Hi,
To put across my question more clearly here is where I am right now. I pass the delivery to the EWM side. There I pack the materials. There is a HU association with the packing material.
When I go to the screen with the follow on functions- warehouse task. Then when I choose the handling unit tab and click on the exectute button associated with the Whouse Req then there should be a Line item displaying the handling unit that was created in the previous step.
However this is not happening and when I click on the execute button the line item does not show up.
So I was wondering if there is some configuration that needs to be done to get the HU displayed?

System commands - disk access

To emulate the "clrscr" command (from C), I am determining the name of the OS and then passing the appropriate command to the Runtime object:
if ((menu.osName.lastIndexOf("sun") != -1) || (menu.osName.lastIndexOf("inux") != -1))
System.out.println("This is an unix terminal");
menu.clearCommand = "/usr/bin/clear";
else if (menu.osName.lastIndexOf("indow") != -1)
System.out.println("This is a Windows MS-DOS terminal");
menu.clearCommand = "C:\\Windows\\Command\\cls";
else if (menu.osName.lastIndexOf("dos") != -1)
System.out.println("This is a MS-DOS terminal");
menu.clearCommand = "C:\\DOS\\cls";
try
menu.cls = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(menu.clearCommand);
menu.cls.waitFor();
menu.clsOut = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(menu.cls.getInputStream()));
while (menu.clsOut.ready())
System.out.println(menu.clsOut.readLine());
menu.clsOut.close();
catch (Exception e)
-However, I also want to make sure that the system command is not an alias for a malicious script, in terms of invoking any sort of IO (delete/create files, etc.). Is it possible to have some sort of wrapper mechanism around the execution of the system command to detect and catch any attempt to perform IO? So far, my application works as the code speaks out, but I am worried that the system command may not be what I expect.
Thanks.
--Ashwin

What about making the information you need to clear the screen a part of the installation?
You do
clear >myclear.out
cls >myclear.out
or whatever and use the contents of the "clear screen" file from your Java program.
Caveat however: under Unix you can have different types of terminal with different clear-screen sequences.
Sometimes I ponder to make a request for a curses-like java package to give an API for such (more advanced, but still CUI-related) things. Or maybe there is such without my knowing it?

Process Type ABAP does not work properly via process chain

Dear SDNers
I am running a process chain and it contains process type ABAP program. ABAP program was running correctly till now via this process chain. ABAP program process type generally takes approximately 2 hours to run. But now, this process type for ABAP program just run for less than 1 minute and finishes successfully. The issue is that ABAP program does not run at all.
I ran the ABAP program in background and it took approximately 2 hours to run. ABAP Program is local means in our BW system and does not involve Remote Function call. We have BI7.0 system
Has some one came across this type of issue?
Best Regards
Pradip

Has the aleremote user or which ever user you have defined for background scheduling changed permissions recently?
What happens if you create an adhoc chain and include this ABAP variant, does it run then?
What does the log say in SM37 when run via process chain?
Cheers
