Tcode BDLS and BDLSS problem with logical system names

Hello!
I have following problem.
During the SAP ECC 6.0 installation we have forgotten to give the clients the logical names.
Now, during the customizing it is necessary to have all the tables with logical names, so I have given for all the systems a logical name.
Now I have problem to convert all the tables that were customized without logical to such with one.
<b>Is there some (semi)-automatical mechanism to do this or should I go to the SE16 and do it there?</b>
Thank you very much indeed
regards
Thom

Hi,
You need to do it from SE16 or SM30

Hi.
In file txn,
click on "Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client" from the left.
Then click position and check for your logical file name.
If you dont get it, it means you need to create it. You can click on New Entries to create.
Thanks

InfoSpoke and Logical File Name

We have created an Infospoke to extract data to a logical file. When we define the Logical File Name Definition using the FILE transaction, we have to enter a physical file name. This will require us to create a new Logical File Name Definition for every Infospoke. Instead of hard coding the physical file name in the Logical File Name Definition for each InfoSpoke we would like to dynamically create the file name to include the InfoObject Name (cube, ODS object, etc) in the physical file name.
We have tried to use the <F=CPROG> substitution parameter in the logical file name. When the function module FILENAME_EXIT_CPROG is called we find that we do not have access to any information other then what is available in the system variables (structure SYST)
1. Are there any modification to the class CL_RSB_FILE_LOGICAL and method DETERMINE_FILENAME that we can make to create a logical file name that includes the InfoSpoke name?
2. Is there any way to access any system information from within the FILENAME_EXIT_CPROG function module that would give us the InfoSpoke information?

I think you can modify the method 'DETERMINE_FILENAME' for this.
In the call to FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH FM, add an additional parameter 'parameter_1', and set its value to O_R_REQUEST-N_OHDEST (this should have the open hub destination name).
call function.....
parameter_1 = O_R_REQUEST-N_OHDEST
If the logical filename contains placeholder (< > ??), it should now be replaced with the destination name.
I am not very familiar with ABAP objects. You might wish to check whethet it is possible without a 'modification' like this, where you create another Z implementation of the class and delegate(?).

Retain background jobs and its variants before system refresh activity

Hello All,
I am going to perform system refresh activity on quaity system on monday. Customer wants to retain the background jobs and its variants in the quality system. Please guide me and let me know the steps to retain the background jobs and its variants before starting the system refresh activity.
Regards
Subbu

Dear Subbu,
You have to export the TBT* Tables to retain the jobs. You can do this with R3trans:
1. Make Export file
2. Make Import file
3. Make Export in Q System before Systemcopy
4. Start Database and not SAP
5. Make Import in Q after Systemcopy
6. Start sap
1. Make Export file /tmp/export_cmd
export
file='/tmp/export_Q.dmp'
client=<your client>
delete from TBTCA
delete from TBTCB
delete from TBTCCNTXT
delete from TBTCCTXTT
delete from TBTCCTXTTP
delete from TBTCI
delete from TBTCJCNTXT
delete from TBTCJSTEP
delete from TBTCO
delete from TBTCO_V01
delete from TBTCP
delete from TBTCPV
delete from TBTCR
delete from TBTCS
delete from TBTC_SPOOLID
delete from BTCEVTJOB
select * from TBTCA
select * from TBTCB
select * from TBTCCNTXT
select * from TBTCCTXTT
select * from TBTCCTXTTP
select * from TBTCI
select * from TBTCJCNTXT
select * from TBTCJSTEP
select * from TBTCO
select * from TBTCO_V01
select * from TBTCP
select * from TBTCPV
select * from TBTCR
select * from TBTCS
select * from TBTC_SPOOLID
select * from BTCEVTJOB
2. Make Import file /tmp/import_cmd
import
file='/tmp/export_Q.dmp'
3. Make Export in Q System before Systemcopy
R3trans -w /tmp/Q_export.log /tmp/export_cmd
4. Start Database and not SAP
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL> startup
or
startsap
stopsap r3
5. Make Import in Q after Systemcopy
R3trans -w /tmp/Q_import.log /tmp/import_cmd
If you want to undo this, start the export script in P system and the Import script in Q system.
Don't be afraid of the delete statement but without delete it doesn't work!
6. Start sap
startsap

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....

Infpackage with logical file name having current year and month

Hello all,
I am using the FILE transaction to maintain the logical file name for infopackage loads in BW.This logicalfile name is to be assigned to physical csv file in AL11 directory.
This csv file would be having the current month and date at the end of the name for e.g for the month of April 2008,the file name would be say xx_200804.csv.I wanted to know if by using the palceholder <YEAR><MONTH> in the physical file name ,would the current month date and month be automatically concatenated at the end of file name ?Has anyone used this option before?

yes it does work,i tried out finally and the system picks current month and year

How to use variables in logical file name definition FILE

Hi Friends,
How can I use variables in logical file name definition (tcode FILE). The requirement is to pass value in these variables (based on selection criteria), and use it as part of file name. You quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kuldeep Joshi

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
In detail, the scenario is like I have created an Open Hub. Its working fine. Now I am planning to execute this open hub using process chain and for that I have to define the file output on application server along with logical file name (using tcode FILE). The logical file name contains two variables (defined in FILE) i.e. z_dept and z_fiscperiod.
Filter value in DTP ( I will read these values from Ztable using routine )
Dept = R&D
Fisc period = 004/2009
Variables defined in tcode FILE:
z_dept for Dept
z_fiscperiod for Fiscal Period
Logical file name : <z_dept>_<z_fiscperiod>.csv
Now the challenge is to populate filter values in these two variables so that the filter value can be used for naming the output file.
My last option is to read/update SAP standard table used for storing variable values (i.e. PARAMVALUE)
Please let me know if you can help me in this issue OR is there any standard method/FM to populate value in these variables
Thanks,
Kuldeep

Logical file name or logical path name incorrectly defined

Dear All,
We are doing archival in our IDES for test purpose before we do it to our Production.
Steps Performed
Copied AM_ASSET archive object to ZAM_ASSET
Logical Path
Logical path    ZAM_ASSET
Name            Asset
Syntax group    UNIX       Unix compatible
Physical path   /archive/test/<FILENAME>
Logical File Name
   Logical file    ZAMASSET
   Name            Asset
   Physical file   FI_<MONTH>_<DAY>.txt
   Data format     ASC
   Applicat.area   AM
   Logical path    ZAM_ASSET
But when we run the WRITE though SARA , in the job log we get the following
Logical file name or logical path name incorrectly defined
When generating a file name for an archive file that is to be created, the system determined that the logical file name FIAA_ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE or the logical path name ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH was defined incorrectly.
But we have maintained a Logical name ZAMASSET , so we are unable to change the location of archived file and as well as the format.
So is there any setting we need to maintain apart from the logical file name and logical file path.
Suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation

hi,
follow this steps :
- transaction SARA
- enter authorization objects, eg SD_VBAK
- hit button CUSTOMIZING
- Archiving Object-Specific Customizing: execute Technical Setting
- field Logical File Name enter or select ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE
- leave CONTENT REPOSITORY as blank if you are not using 3rd party for storing (eg. IBM Tivoli)
- back to customizing
- from Basis Customizing, execute : Cross-Client File Names/Paths
- on Logical FIle Path Definition, highlight (select) ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH on the right pane
- double click on the Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path on the left pane
- double click on OS used, eg. UNIX, define Physical Path where archive file (on WRITE process) will be stored
- save changes made
- double click Logical File Definition, Cross Client on the left pane
- double click ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE on the right pane
- make sure that logical path is already set to ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH
- save changes made
this setting also can be done using transaction FILE
we have experienced on this case using SAP standard archiving (SARA, SARI) and everything is fine with this setting above.
hope it help you.

Regarding assignment of physical path to logical file name

Hi All,
We have created one logical file name and assigned physical path to it in FILE tcode.
IN PATH table also these details got updated with correct logical file name & physical path.
But in my program when i have used FILE_GET_NAME F.M to retrieve physical path from logical file.
Here this F.M is not returning anything.
What is the issue over here.
We are working in ECC 6.0
Can anybody resolve this issue!
Thanks,

Assign Logical file name for the physical file path through Program

Hi all,
I am having a physical file which is getting generated dynamically. It is having the date and time stamp in its name which is added at runtime.
Now I need to assign a logical file name for the physical file path through the program.
Is there any FM or any other method to assign the same.
Gaurav

I think it is not possible. becuase the date & time added at runtime. so if you check the table PATH you can find filename and their definitions

Master database logical file names are different - Please Help!

Today I noticed that one of the server in our environment,
when i run
SELECT *
FROM sys.database_files
i got results
data_space_id name
1 master2
0 master_Log2
Please note logical name of the master database files.
But, in SSMS if i right click and choose properties for master database, it shows logical file names are master, mastlog.
How can this be happened? How can i fix this issue and make it both same names for master database?
Please help!

Hoe to logical file name using "FILE" transcation

I want to create a logical file name using "FILE" transaction , i have file path '/xfer/OUT/IDD0230 ' that cureently hard coded in program but i want to avoid hard code .

You need to go to FILE transction, create new entry.
You need to specify Physical name i.e value hardcoded in your program
and corresponding new Logical Path which enduser will be entering.
In code u ned to decode Logical path to physical path as its actual path.
Award points if helpful.
