Trigger ABAP program using UNIX script

Hi All,
I want to trigger an Abap program whenever a unix file comes to SAP.
Can any1 please tellme how to write a unix script to trigger the ABAP program.
Thanks in advance.

you will need to create a batch job in SM37 for the ABAP program, and use an event for the start criteria.
The event can be created in SM62
Then in unix, you will need to call an executable SAPEVT.
This will be in the directory /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run
you will need to use the appropriate profile for the SAP system to run the sapevt utility.
example :-
sapevt abap_event -t pf=/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile/<SID>_DVEBMGS00_<SYSNAME> nr=00

How to load abap ztable using unix script

Hi Experts,
I want to upload the data from excel sheet into abap ztable using unix script. If possible give me a sample coding for this..
Regards,
vijay

hi vijay see the code below
REPORT YFTP1 .
FTP by abap.
This program passses host, user, source/target
directory and file parameters to a UNIX script which
in turn gets the required file from the host by ftp.
The unix script should look like this:
#! /bin/sh
ftp -n $1 << !!
user $2 $3
cd ..                      <-- only for mainframe ftp
get $4 $5
quit
placed in the adm path, preferably under
/sapmnt//exe. In order to make this program
work please create sapcpic/manager cpic user and
apply note no. 41770.

Call ABAP program from Unix script passing dynamic filename

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to call an ABAP program from a Unix script passing a dynamic filename to the ABAP program?
We are receiving a file from an external company and on receipt of the file want to call an ABAP program passing the filename. The filename is made up of File ID, Date and Time which we need to read in the ABAP program. We usually use Events to trigger a program which is fine when the filename if static however since this filename will be dynamic we cannot do this. In addition we cannot just rename the file to a static name in the Unix script as we need to know the value of the date and time from the file ID in the ABAP program. I can change the ABAP program to check our /in directory for a Filename that starts with the fixed File ID however I thought there must be a better way of doing this. We want the external company to put this information in a file header record but they don't want to change the file contents. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sinead.

You could follow the following method
1.Let the external file reside in the SAP application layer in a defined path e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/working/
2.Write an ABAP program which will include the following steps:-
i) read all files in the file path using function module EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
ii) Read the data from files existing in the directory using OPEN_DATASET statement
iii) After the files have been read move the files to another directory e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/backup/ or you can delete the file.
3.Schedule this program to be executed depending on the frequency of the external file being generated.

Running abap programs using the macros

In our DP implementation we have faced several issues in the extraction of the data from the demand planning to one of the legacy system. We have written the ABAP program and would be using the read planning book bapi. I wanted to run the ABAP program using the macro could some one please let me know what is the structure of the macro builder that is used to fire the ABAP program. this is being fired from the macros as some comparison is to be done to run the macro.

Hi,
Some more information on macro function
REPORT_SUBMIT()
REPORT_SUBMIT( 'program_name' ; <'job_name'> ; <'job_number'>; <'newmode'>) causes the specified program to be executed. Use the optional arguments, job name and job number, if you wish the program to run in the background. If you set the argument 'newmode', the results are displayed in a new window.
Hope this will helps you.

Sunitha.

Advantage's using Unix Script

I'm creating ACH file using program RFPNFC00 which goes and stores in the application server. I need to ping this file from application server to FTP for which i wanna know which one is the best way to do is that with FM CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT' or shall i ask the Unix guy to write a small script to ping the file from app server to FTP.
Basically can anyone lemme know the advantages and disadvantages of Unix script and ABAP code to ping the file to FTP.
Regards

Venkat,
it depends on the security-configuration in your company.
If you're authorized use SAP-FTP -> look sample program RSFTP004
hope that helps

ABAP Program using Selection Screen in Process Chain

Hi,
I have included an ABAP Program in the Process Chain.
The ABAP Program takes a selection screen value from user before execution.
I have created a variant for both the ABAP Process (YPV_ABC) and a variant for the Selection Screen (YPV_XYZ).
The ABAP Program executes perfectly well in SE 38.
I get the following message when I execute the Process Chain.
"Status Change of Process ABAP YPV_ABC.
Save Status and Trigger Events if Appropriate "
When I click Yes, the ABAP Process becomes red.
These are error messages in the log
516 - Job started
550 - Step 001 started (program RSPROCESS, variant &0000000012961, user ID ALEREMOTE)
25 -    Could not ascertain code page
546 - Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
My questions are:
1) Is it possible to use an ABAP Program which has a user input screen in Process Chain?
2) Could you please help with the above error?

1) Is it possible to use an ABAP Program which has a user input screen in Process Chain?
ABAP programs, with variants established for selection screens, are possible. We use them quite extensively for setting triggers to allow Process Chain to continue after an Interrupt Process has been hit.
2) Could you please help with the above error?
I'm not quite sure what could be causing this. When you tested this program in SE38, did you test it with the same variant for the selection screen and did you execute it in background?

Trigger abap program from process chain

hello...i have an external source system which is a SAP client, I have a table with the fields i wanted, when the field of the table change to "ctmd end", the abap program in this source client will trigger the process chain in SAP BW and the selection of the infopackage which is a business date will be triggered as well to load the data based on the business key date in the source systems. I am new in abap program and wanna know can this be done so? If can, how can this be done? Thanks!

generate an event through ABAP program and use that event to trigger that start process type of that process chain

Exec a "MV" (move) Linux command from ABAP program using wildcard "*"

Hi,
I have a problem by using FM "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE", SM49 while i try to move the whole content of a SAP folder into another.
Foders are on the same file system:
source: /tmp/
dest:   /usr/sap/tmp
I made a command in SM69 named ZMOVE:
I put OS: Linux (is case sensitive)
        command: "mv"
        parameters: /tmp/* /usr/sap/tmp
hence the final sentence should be "mv /tmp/* /usr/sap/tmp". I did it directly by using program "rsbdcos0" and works fine.
Now if I try to execute the command ZMOVE from SM49 or using the function module it gives the same error
*mv: cannot stat /tmp/ ': No such file or directory**
I made several tries by changing the parameter section (also using a script on the same directory).
The permissions are ok, so the only problem seems to be the wildcard (*) character.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Fabrizio

Problem solved.
Forget function modules, SM69 etc. there's an ABAP command in order to perform a SO command.
Here an example:
data: lf_file like rlgrap-filename,
      lf_idx(3) type n,
      cmd(254),
      result(255) occurs 100 with header line.
cmd = 'mv /dir_source/* /dir_dest'.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field cmd
                id 'TAB'     field result-sys.

How to call pakage using Unix script

Hi,
I have created one package in Oracle(contains2 funcation and 4 procedure) which is in in xxx14database.
Now i can execute the package and its working fine at database level.
As per requirement ,i need to create on Unix script to trigger the package.
I have no idea how to create the Unix script to execute the package.
The Unix script need to created in xxxx001 Server.
Can anyone please let me know the template or any link which I can refer to create the same.
Or anyway i can create a script/batch on window and test first in my laptop and use the same script for my project work with required modification
Secondly the application owner asked me to give them both database and Unix script to them so that their database team will test the Package which i developed.
Database script meand the Package body and spec i should save as file.pkb format and send them or i can save them in .sql file and send them
Thanking you all in advance please help its urgent.

Now that you know how to do it ... reconsider whether doing so is a good idea.
There is almost nothing you can do calling from a shell script that can't be done more easily from DBMS_SCHEDULER other than compromise security. Shell scripts connecting to the database are, as shown in the demo code, inherently insecure and, if you get enough of them, make it difficult to cycle passwords on a regular basis.

EDI Outbound file trigger not happening automatically.unix script

EDI OUT bound issue:-
We are processing IDOC by using WE19 -> Here we are selecting existing IDOC -> By using pushbutton Start Outbound Processing the IDOC EDI file is creating in directory with file name as:- /abc/xyz/edi/DECVDE_989898.
In the same directory we have unix script file push_idoc_sci.sh is available which sends this EDI file to unix server.This script is working fine when we do manual sending of edi file - there is no issue in the script.
1> We configured the port SAPEDI which sends this EDI file automatically by using this script file. But this is not happening.
WE21 settings:-
Outbound file TAB:- Phycal directory -> /abc/xyz/edi/
                                 Function module: EDI_PATH_CREATE_MESTYP_DOCNUM
Outbound Trigget TAB:-
                                Automatic Start Possible check box checked.
                                RFC destination -- SERVER_EXCE.
                                Directory-- /abc/xyz/edi/
                                Command file -- push_idoc_sci.sh
Inbound file TAB:- Phycal directory -> /abc/xyz/edi/ in
                             FM -- EDI_PATH_CREATE_CLIENT_DOCNUM
2> RFC destination TCP/IP connections:- SERVER_EXEC configured with parameters:
     Application server :- Program: rfcexec.
The Issues is EDI file is creating in applicastion server, but it is not going automatically to unix server as automated process. even we mentoned the script in port defination to send automatically.
Is there any we are missing? any seetings do we need to do extra?
Please let us know.
Thanks in advance.
Sreedhara.

Hi Hi sreedhara gupta
what REDDY said is correct. Still you if you want test by using WE19 ....Put break point at include MSED7F03 at IF direction_in <> c_direct_incoming.
change the value of control_record_in-outmod to 1 or 3.
Note: Imp thing is............. there is a chase of missing segments which are requied in EDI Subsystem.
Thanks

File port query File transfer from SAP R/3 to Webmethods using Unix Script

SAP drops the files in the /sapio/ directory and triggers an unix script using File port partner destination.
Unix script will perform a secure copy of files to Webmethods server.
If in unix script, error occurs then an RFC function will be called to send an error notification to a person.
Queries
1) How is the unix script triggered using the File port partner destination ?
2) What is the unix command to invoke a report which sends the error notification mail ?
3) Does SCP command to copy files to webmethods work , if the unix script is placed in /sapio/ directory ? Or whether
any connection need to be established between SAP and Webmethods server ?

Hello,
Since you want to transfer Article Master, it should be a Retail System. So you should use Message Type ARTMAS. For fullbuild, you can use transaction WDBM and for changes, you can use WDBU. For changes, you can enable change pointers for required fields using BD64.
Thanks,
Venu

Err with scheduling an abap program using open dataset

issue: have an abap program which uses "open dataset ... for input ..." to read the file.
- with manual ly running it, receive the following message "dataset_not_open".
- with scheduling it, receive same message
attempting to run an abap program as part of a process chain (ie scheduling a background job) in BI.
the abap performs the following fxns:
1) read a file on the server
2) removes delimiter, renames it
3) rewrites the file onto the server
initially used ws_upload for reading and ws_download for writing the file.
- both fxns worked fine if it is run manually --> but failed as a background (part of process chain)
- note 7925 states can't use ws_upload, download for background jobs
-so switched to "open dataset"
Any suggestions as to why the "open dataset" does not work is greatly appreciated it.
B.A.

Thank you for all responses. here is more info about the err message:
sy-subrc = 8
'invalid argument'
I looked up the invalid argument in note 99155 --> due to "The destination file is no longer available during repeated file access. "   So, the following steps were taken:
- file was regenerated and
- file was placed on the server to be read
have the following code:
OPEN DATASET FILENAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE encoding default
                      MESSAGE D_MSG_TEXT.
also have tried the following:
   OPEN DATASET d1 for input in text mode encoding default.
   open dataset d1 for output in text mode encoding NON-UNICODE..
   open dataset d1 for output in text mode encoding utf-8.
none had worked. system --> status shows no unicode.
THanks again for any suggestions.

Urgent: Calling ABAP Program using JMS

Hi,
I have a scenario where legacy system pass some messages to ABAP Program and this program can handle one message at a time (written in that way).
Now the receiver communication channel is configured to access J2SE adapter. This J2SE adapter stores the message on R/3 system and triggers the ABAP program located in R/3 system.
Now when multiple messages are coming at a time in SAP-XI and processed successfully and handover to J2SE adapter. But J2SE adapter triggers the ABAP program for all messages. And here is the problem. ABAP program is not supporting multi - threading.
my idea is to use JMS adapter...can you guys suggest me how to achieve result and how to configure JMS or any other adapter to call ABAP Program so that only one message will pass to ABAP program at a time.
Regards,
Gourav Khare

Hi,
First find out where your ABAP program the data written.You need to write it into and spool then only you can see it.
Transaction SP01, you can use the FM 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' in your abap program to write to spool.
Thanks,
Ravi

How to extend the execution time of an ABAP Program using the Process chain

Hello Sapians,
Our Environment has got 600seconds = 10 mintues as the execution time.
My ABAP Program is taking more than this 600 seconds, to show the result, I found this when I tried to execute in debug mode, it shows the result.
If I execute in background also it shows the results succesfully.
Only issue is when I execute this report in foreground it has been taking ages and goes on Time OUT Error.
It has been decided that we can extend the execution time only for this report, and it will reset the time back to 10mintues once the report has been executed successfully or failed in between for any other reasons.
And we can achieve this by using the process chains.
Can any body help me please in this regard
Thanks,

Hi,,,,,,,,,,
Besides Process Chain There is another way out for this........
Resetting time counter of dialog process so that time-out does not
happen. Use this fm within your program at appropriate locations to
reset time counter.
"CALL FUNCTION 'TH_REDISPATCH'."
Thanks
