Triggering ABAP from Unix

Guys
I am trying to understand how to trigger ABAP job / code from Unix. I have the basic information such as
1) Create job in SM37
2) dependent on trigger
3) create trigger in SM62
but I dont understand as to how unix will know this event. Any clues or information would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

Triggering background job event from Unix script

Hi all,
I am having one question regarding triggering of background job in SAP using Events from Unix script. Is this possible? If so, can anyboy provide some sample code related to Unix script and how do we communicate to SAP from Unix system. Actually, here the backend of R/3 system is MSSQL. I am having a program in R/3 system which is scheduled as a background job based upon event trigger. I want to trigger that even from the unix script.
Appreciate for your help in advance.
Thanks,
Adithya K

DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in downloaded txt file from UNIX?

Hi Experts,
Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
Am doing every thing same in both cases.
So,
1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
thanq

Its there, I am talking abut this -
OPEN DATASET - linefeed
Syntax
... WITH { NATIVE
         | SMART
         | UNIX
         | WINDOWS } LINEFEED ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
2. ... WITH SMART LINEFEED
3. ... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
4. ... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: These additions determine which line end marker is used for text files or legacy text files. If these additions are used, the profile parameter abap/NTfmode is ignored. Simultaneous specification of the values "UNIX" or "NT" in the addition TYPE is not permitted.
If these additions are not used, the line end marker is determined as follows, depending on the operating system of the current application server:
The line end marker for Unix is "LF". Under Unix, OS390 and OS400, only "LF" is used for reading and writing.
The line end marker for MS Windows is "CRLF". Under MS Windows, however, the values of the profile parameter abap/NTfmode can also be used to set whether new files are handled according to Unix conventions or Windows conventions. If the profile parameter has the value "b", the Unix line end marker "LF" is used. If the profile parameter has the value "t" or is initial, the Windows line end marker "CRLF" is used. The setting using the profile parameter can be overridden with the addition TYPE and the value "UNIX" or "NT". If an existing file is opened without the addition TYPE, this is searched for the first line end marker ("LF" or "CRLF"), and this is used for the whole file. If no line end marker is found, the profile parameter is used. This applies particularly if an existing file is completely overwritten with FOR OUTPUT.
If an addition WITH NATIVE|SMART|UNIX|WINDOWS LINEFEED is used, this setting can be changed for the open file using the statement SET DATASET. If neither of the additions is used, the line end marker also cannot be changed using SET DATASET.
Notes
: Without the use of an addition WITH LINEFEED, the line end marker is dependent on diverse implicit factors such as the operating system of the application server, a profile parameter, and line end markings that are already used. For this reason, the explicit use of WITH LINEFEED is recommended, which renders the use of the addition TYPE for setting the line end marker obsolete.
The line end marker that is currently used can be determined for every open file using GET DATASET.
Alternative 1
... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition defines the line end marker independently of the access type according to the operating system of the application server, i.e. "LF" for Unix OS390 or OS400, and "CRLF" for MS Windows.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current codepage. If a code page is explicitly specified using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must exist be available or be written in accordance with this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED is intended for editing files on an application server that can also be accessed by other means. The addition receives the appropriate line end marker without the program needing to know the operating system.
Alternative 2
... WITH SMART LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition depends on the access type:
In files that are opened for reading using FOR INPUT, both "LF" and "CRLF are interpreted as a line end marker. When opening an EBCDIC file with the addition CODEPAGE, in addition to "LF", "CRLF", and the EBCDIC character strings, the corresponding ASCII character strings are also recognized. In addition, the EBCDIC character "NL" (line separator) is also interpreted as a line end marker.
In files opened for appending or changing with FOR APPENDING or FOR UPDATE, the program searches for a line end marker that is already used in the file. In this process, first the end of the file is identified. If no line end marker is found there, a certain number of characters at the beginning is analyzed. If a line end marker is found, this is used when writing to the file. This is also affected by the addition CODE PAGE. For example, ASCII line end markers are recognized and used in a file opened with EBCDIC, but not the other way round. If no line end marker is found or no search is possible (for example, if the file is opened with the addition FILTER), the line end marker is determined according to the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
In files opened for writing using FOR OUTPUT, the line end marker is determined according the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
Note
: The addition WITH SMART LINEFEED is intended for the generic editing of files in heterogeneous environments. The line end marker is recognized and set for different formats. The use of this addition is the best solution for most application cases.
Alternative 3
... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "LF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available or be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH UNIX LINEFEED is intended for editing Unix files in which the specific line end markers are to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is MS Windows.
Alternative 4
... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "CRLF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available and be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED is intended for use with MS Windows files in which the specific line end marker is to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is Unix, OS390 or OS400.

Unix command to create a copy of file from unix directory

Hi guys,
what is the Unix command to create a copy of file from unix directory?
Thanks a lot!

If you haven't noticed, this is a ABAP forum.

Transfer file from UNIX to windows application server G:\ drive

Dear Expert,
Really need some help on this, very urgent !
The download program schedule in background to allow file store in unix.
Can we do a unix command in abap program to transfer the file from unix to windows application server G:\ drive.
The gateway for that application server is ukblmqg02.emea.astrazeneca.net .
Anyone have the sample source code ?
Thanks&regards
Nislina

Hi,
1.
There is a FM 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT'.
If the requirement need not necessarily require a FM to transfer a file, then you can also use transaction 'CG3Y' to transfer a file
from application server to presentation server.
2.
Try to use FM DOCFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT. I am using it to download a file from SAP application server to desktop.
Source path should be application server file path along with file name i.e. /tmp/sample.xls.
Target path should be something like c:\file.xls.
Best regards,
Prashant

How to delete string or line from unix file(dataset) of application server

Hi All,
After transfer workarea information or all records into dataset(unix file). When I see the file in application server automatically the last line is shown a blank line. I am not passing any blank line.
I have tried for single record than also the file generates the last line(2nd line) also a blank line.
When I m reading the dataset, it is not reading the last blank line but why it is showing the last blank line?
How to delete string or line from unix file(dataset) of application server?
Please give your comments to resolve this.
Thanks
Tirumula Rao Chinni

Hi Rio,
I faced similar kind of issue working with files on UNIX platform.
The line is a line feed to remove it use
DATA : lv_carr_linefd TYPE abap_cr_lf VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
DATA : lv_carr_return TYPE char1,
         lv_line_feed   TYPE char1.
lv_line_feed   = lv_carr_linefd(1).
lv_carr_return = lv_carr_linefd+1(1).
Note: IMP: The character in ' ' is not space but is a special
character set by pressing ALT and +255 simultaneosly
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_line_feed IN l_string WITH ' '.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF lv_carr_return IN l_string WITH ' '.

Calling a report from unix shell script

Hi,
I had to call a report from unix shell script.
May i know the procedure to accomplish this
Thanks in Advance
A.Gopal

First you should not include the whole path to your report in the call ...
Use like this:
/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/bin/rwrun.sh report=an_stati destype=file desname=/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/test.pdf desformat=pdf
In $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh:
1) Verify that you have updated the REPORTS_PATH variable to include your folder where you have the report in question
REPORTS_PATH=/ora/u20/app/qits/env1/run:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo: ....
2) Verify that the REPORTS_TMP variable is pointing to a valid location and that the oracle user has access to write on it.
After that, post the content of the tracefile located at $ORACLE_HOME/reports/logs/{in-process report server name folder}/rwserver.trc
If no file is present then it means that you need to enable trace in your reports's conf file.... go to the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf folder and and locate the .conf file that correspond to your in-process reports server name (as specified in the rwservelet.properties file)... open/edit the file to enable trace logs ..
i.e.
Change the following line:

to <trace traceOpts="trace_all"/>
Bounce the reports server and try to run the report again, this time the .trc file should be generated, post the content so that we can take a look.

Hi,
I don't know if this works:
perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'.
perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '060'. "put length of your line from-to
... download ...
It will put space at the end of your line, according to the length.
Hope it works,

It is not the problem of your program. This happens becuase of the "nature" of the excel. You need to retain the text property of that column.
Try like this:
1. Download the file in .txt
2. Open Excel .. blank sheet
3. Now, click on Open. Select your .txt file
4. One pop up will come ..."Text Import Wizard"
5. Select the fixed width or Delimited ... Press Next ...
6. Select appropriate delimitors or fixed length .. press Next
7. Select your coulumn (which has the problem), Select the "Text" radiobutton on the upper-right corner and finish.

File transfer from UNIX server to Windows server path

Hello Experts, (Gud Even Gud Aft & Gud Mor)
Is there a way to transfer file from UNIX server(Oracle database), to Windows server? All I know if Windows path. I am able to read the file as it is on server, however it does not recognize Windows directory at all.
If you can share some documents around this to study, I will be grateful.

NFS on the Unix server sharing the directory containing the file. FTP server on Unix allowing the file to be read and copied. OpenSSH on the Unix allowing the file to be read and copied via scp (secure copy).
But seeing as this is an Oracle database forum (not an operating system forum), and the subject matter is the database server languages SQL and PL/SQL, here is a PL/SQL solution.
Create a table using the BFILE data type for referencing the files on the Unix o/s. Provide a web enabled procedure for downloading the files via HTTP using a web browser. This procedure will look something as follows:
--// URL example: http://my-server.my-domain.com/MyDAD/MySchemaName.StreamFile?fileID=1234
create or replace procedure StreamFile( fileID number ) AUTHID DEFINER is
        mimeType        varchar2(48);
        fileName        varchar2(400);
        lobContent      BLOB;
begin
        --// read the LOB from a table (this example uses the
        --// Apex file uploads table - change it to your own files table)
        select
                f.filename,
                f.mime_type,
                f.blob_content
                        into
                fileName,
                mimeType,
                lobContent
        from    FLOWS_FILES.WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ f
        where   f.id = fileID;
        --// format a basic HTTP header that describes the file stream send
        OWA_UTIL.mime_header( mimeType, FALSE );        -- e.g. text/csv text/plain text/html image/gif
        HTP.p( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='||fileName );
        HTP.p( 'Content-Length: ' || DBMS_LOB.GetLength(lobContent) );
        OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
        --// now write the BLOB as a mime stream using the Web Procedural Gateway's
        --// doc load API
        WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file( lobContent );
exception when OTHERS then
        --// Decide what HTML to generate (if at all) if there is a failure
        --// (usually not a good idea to show database errors to the
        --// web browser client as that can provide technical details

How to display HTML file from Unix server on UI at runtime

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to display HTML files, related to some particular person, on UI. The file is existing on a separate UNIX server and a file related to one person may have a lot of attached files as well , as is the case generally with HTML files, including pictures etc. So it is no use transferring file on my CRM system, as the files are kept separately on this UNIX server which is particularly for this kind of storage.
I am able to show files residing on MIME repository ( I created some new HTML files ) of my CRM system on UI. but I don't know how to go ahead with this particular requirement.
One idea is that I can map one folder of my application server to that unix server so that I can see the HTML files in this particular folder. but I don't know how to map MIME repository folder to application server directory or directly to the UNIX server .
Please advise. Is my approach correct or is there any other way ?
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vikas

Maybe this is too simple, but have you got an HTTP server on the UNIX machine? You could simply link the URL into you CRM application and display the contents directly from UNIX.
