How to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server

HI All,
how to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server..

Hi,
Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
Thanks & Regards,
Nishant Tatkar.

Picking a IDOC Flat File stored in SAP R/3 Application Server by SAP PI

Hi,
Can SAP PI pickup a IDOC Flat File stored in SAP R/3 Application Server Directory and send it back as an Inbound IDOC.
Scenario:
We have a data in the EXCEL Sheet, which will be used to a fill an IDOC and the IDOC will be just save in the SAP R/3 Application Server Directory, but can not be triggered due to its peculiar behavior. Afterwards, SAP PI should pole the SAP R/3 and pick up that IDOC Flat File from the R/3 Application Server and send it back to the SAP R/3 as an Inbound IDOC.
For Ref: IDOC does not have a Outbound Process Code, thus can not be triggered and send to SAP PI. It is always used as a Inbound IDOC in SAP R/3 system.
Regards,
Saurabh

SAP PI should pole the SAP R/3 and pick up that IDOC Flat File from the R/3 Application Server
If SAP PI = 7.11 --> /people/william.li/blog/2009/04/01/how-to-use-user-module-for-conversion-of-idoc-messages-between-flat-and-xml-formats
send it back to the SAP R/3 as an Inbound IDOC
why to send some information again into R3 which it already has? cant some internal code in R3 read the info from excel and then update the IDOC directly?

File exist in application server directory

Hi there,
On my SAP server, i have a directory created specifically to store input files generated from other external systems.
From my ABAP program, i need to check if any file exist on that application server directory. If yes, then i will proceed to read the input file and process it.
If it's empty, then output message that file is not available.
Are there any FM to do this?

you can use this code to do this...

Get File Names & Creation Time of the files of a directory in App. Server

Dear all,
              My requirement is to fetch all the file names of a paritucular direcory in the application server. After going through SDN i got some FM's like
    1. EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
    2. EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES
    3. SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST
    Here EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING looks perfect for my requirement. But while I tried to test the FM from SE37 its giving exception READ_DIRECTORY_FAILED for the required Directory. But the same FM is returning file names for the root directory.
Please look a above 2 scenario...
ie. if I give Export parameter as
     DIR_NAME                         = '/'
     FILE_MASK                       = '*'
     The FM works fine.
But . if I give Export parameter as
     DIR_NAME                         = '/XYZ'
     FILE_MASK                       = '*'
    The FM returns exception READ_DIRECTORY_FAILED .
But the directory /XYZ exists and there are files in it..Am I missing something with respect to the path am specifying.

Antony

How can I change the log file path instead of storing log in server.log

Hi,
I have created one domain and modified the attribute "log-file" in element "virtual-server" element to point to the new log file path.
But when I start up my domain, it still saying: "Log redirected to DOMAIN_LOCATION/logs/server.log.
Why?
Why it doesn't log to the file I specify? How can I change it?
Thanks.
Ken

I have changed the logging option to my specific path in admin console as what you said. I have also changed the logging in domains attribute too.
But still there is some logging info in domains/<dom_name>/logs/server.log instead of the path and file I specified.
Is it possbily related to linux user role setting? the Sunone AS is installed and configured by root user. But the domain is created for another user, hence I want to forward all logging info to that user's home path.

Creating a directory & subdirectory on Application Server

I want to create a directory on Application Server which may contain many subdirectories where in i will upload my files from my ABAP Program.
I need to know if dynamic creation of a directory on Application Server is possible though ABAP.
I donot want to create it manually but dynamically depending on the type of file to be put in the directory.

If you use the complete path, this actually works. I have tested it in my system. It may not work in background though. I'm on an AS400, so the path is a little different
call function 'GUI_CREATE_DIRECTORY'
     exporting
dirname = '//<ip_address>/qfilesvr400/<host>/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Folder1'
     exceptions
          failed = 1
          others = 2.
