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
VENk@

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

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.

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

Unix commands in ABAP

Hi,
   I need to call the following unix command in ABAP to encrypt a file on the app server .
crypt password <org filename> new_filename

2 I also created the command in SM69 and tries to run it but same error.
3 I also created a shell script , but i get another message when i try to run sh ...
Please help to find out a way to make it work ..
Kunal

Hi kunal,
1. probably ur basis team might be able to help u.
2. even if we have authorisations thru sap
   to run external os command,
   the actual OS user on application server
   must have the right for it
   and access/write/read/modify
   for the files (provided thru the command)
   in question.
3. Due to this , the systems gives the message
   of SECURITY RISK.

UNIX command in ABAP code

Hi All,
I need to use unix command (MOVE) in ABAP code for transfering a file from one directory to another directory.
Can any one help with how to used unix commands in ABAP?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hemendra

The recommended approach always used to be to use transaction SM69 to define a "soft" command name to the operating system command so that it could be configured to work across Windows, Unix etc. For example:
Command name OS Type OS command Parameters for operating system command
Z_FILE_MOVE SunOS Customer mv ? ?
You can then call function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE (quite well documented) to actually perform the command passing in the appropriate number of parameters.

Executing Unix scripts from a stored procedure

From the sql*plus windows, I am able to execute the host command and '!sh' commands; but I need to ececute Unix scripts from a stored procedure. Hoe can I do this? Where can I get good documentation on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks..

Hi,
U can use external procedure ( newly added feature in 8.0.3 onwards) and call any shared library. From shared library u can execute it.
One sql command is there HOST(' '). U can run a OS command. But u can not use it in PL/SQL.
U can call pls sql from shell !!!!!..
Thanks...
