Using Unix command in ABAP

Hi guy,
I am using " Call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field UnixCommand id 'TAB' field itFiles-SYS" to read number of files in folder, it works fine if number of line are around 200 but if its more then that it doesn't any file.
UnixCommand = 'ls -ld'.
UnixCommand+7(45) = /abap/.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field UnixCommand
id 'TAB' field itFiles-SYS.
Thanks

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.

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.

Terminal - how to find my external hard drive using unix commands

just discovered terminal and using cd and ls commands, which are the only commands i know, i realized that i can't find my external hard drive. i thought it would be listed on my desktop, as it is in the OSX interface, but it isn't there.
not that im skilled enough to use terminal yet, but i thought the first step would be being able to navigate the computer's files.
really curious as to where my external hard drive is and how i can find it using unix commands in terminal.
i was trying to figure it out myself, then i thought surely someone knows this and could tell me in a sec.
thanks.

"ls /Volumes" will list all volumes, including internal and external hard drives and mounted disk images. I find "disktool -l" more useful in scripts, as it tells you which volume names correspond to which "mount points" under /Volumes. Usually they're the same, but if you have two volumes with the same name, or you try to remount a removable volume before it is fully unmounted, you'll end up with a mount point that consists of the volume name with a numerical suffix.

Using UNIX command to copy desktop files/folders

Hello All. I need help using UNIX command(s) to copy text documents and or folders from my lab computers to my desktop at home. Since I have such a slow connection, I think this will work best. I need help with the cp command and the path mostly. Since all files would be in folders on the desktop (including documents (that "missed" the folders), I believe I could simply copy desktop contents? Thanks, J Langlois

What you want to do is SCP (secure copy) your documents to your remote host.
send this command to the computer with the documents
scp ~/Desktop/FILEOR_FOLDERNAME USERNAME@REMOTE_COMPUTER:~/Desktop/
Replace all the stuff in UPPERCASE with the correct vales for your situation.

Execute graph using unix command

I am new to endeca3.1
is there any way available to run the graph using unix command?
how can i schedule the graph in cron tab?

Take a look at the Integrator ETL Server Guide (CloverETL Server), Chapter 6, Scheduling and also Chapter 14 on the Simple HTTP API. This should allow you to schedule or invoke ETL Graphs published on the server.

How to move folders from one server to another serve using unix command

Hi All,
How to move the folders from one server to another server using unix command.
scp -r armops@sjarmprd01:/ARM/scripts [email protected]:/ARM/scripts/
but it is giving an error like not a regular file .. what it means .. please let me know if any one knows about it
Thanks
Sreedhar

not a regular file .. what it meansProbably you have some fifo (named pipe) files...
Said that this has nothing to do with database (you should post on some nix forum, for example http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=135), you may try rsync* command (man rsync).

Using Unix commands

Im trying to cd into the cgi-bin directory and run the script using the Process and Runtime classes but it doesn't seem to change to the cgi-bin directory.

Using Unix Command Line to force logoff of other users

Hello - I am the administrator for my family's Mac (OS X - 10.4.8). Four of us in the family share the system. Frequently, my family members forget to logoff. I would like to be able to force them off via the Unix command line. Can't I sign on as root and execute a "forced logoff" type of command?

Thanks to Mihalis and Jarik for the additional info.
I'm back now with a question. I have a user named "visitor" logged on. I issued a killall command which killed all the users processes except one. Using /Applications/Activity Monitor.app, I can see the process is "loginwindow" and it is owned by visitor.
However,
ps -u visitor
reveals no running processes. Assuming I only had command-line access (no GUI to use Activity Monitor.app) and had multiple users logged in, how can I discover which loginwindow PID belongs to visitor?
msq
EDIT: I went ahead and sudo kill PID the loginwindow process owned by visitor and realized that
ps -axj | grep visitor
worked to reveal the loginwindow process owned by visitor. But when I logged visitor in (Fast User Switching) and ran sudo killall the Activity Monitor.app identifies the loginwindow as being owned by root but ps -axj | grep visitor shows the process belonging to visitor.
Something weird in the depths of Leopard's UNIX land, but I think I can find my way around now.
Thanks, everyone.

Software Updates using Unix command hangs

Every time I try to do a software update to my OS 10.6.4, 10.6.8 iMacs, the process stays an/or hangs and I have to cancel it. This is the last message in the log:
Writing files… Running package scripts… Removing old files… Optimizing system for installed software… Moving items into place…
I have left it there for 24 hours and it stills never finishes. When I check an individual machine, the updates are still outstanding, except the combo 10.6.8 on the machines that are running 10.6.4
Any help on this? I am running a Snow Leopard server with the software update service and doing local updates on the machines. I have sent already a unix command to the machines to do a local update with my server ip.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Rodriguez

If your using ARD , you should be able to send, and copy & run the installer on your client computers without needing to directly interact with the computers.
ie:
download the 10.6.8 combo updaters v1.1.dmg onto your ARD computer
double click on the dmg so your computer mounts it.
open ard
select one or more client that need to update
click on install icon from the ard toolbar (it should be right next to unix) (altertively
a dialog box will pop up asking what you want to install
click the +
select the 10.6.8 combo update v1.1.pkg from the mounted disk image
set restart after install to attempt or force restart.
click install
it's a good idea to send this installer to computers physicaly in the same location at one time. IE send the installer to 1 lab of computers, then the next lab. for classrooms you might find it better to do 1 classroom or one building at a time.

SFTP using Unix command

Hi all,
I am trying to upload a file from SAP to a folder in another server.
Here they want us to use SFTP port 22 which is not supported by SAP by default i guess.
Could any one give me clear procedure and commands to be used in program in order to upload the in file in the server.
If you could give the methods and FMs and unix commands used it would be great.
I went through lot of threads but very few are talking about SFTP and i am not the clear about how to go with it.
Few say that we need to create and external command in SM59.
IF it is so can you tell what exactly are the parameter to be given for ex i want to put a file so what would be the parameters and how do we use this command in my program
Any sample code which puts the file another server???
Thanx

Check if your able to do sftp at command line from the server where BPEL is running.
