Why does Logical file name in sys.master_files does not match SSMS Properties

SQL 2012 11.0.2100.60 (x64)
I have a sproc that does an ALTER to change the logical file name of a DB. Getting this error at a customer site "5041 MODIFY FILE failed. File 'Template_201401_Log' does not exist.' When I query the sys.Master_files the log name is'Template_201401_Log'.
but when i look in SSMS at the DBs -> properties -> files the logs logical file name is Store01_log. There is only a single log file.
Just found out that if I change the log file name in SSMS it then corrects it in the sys.Master_files. So it is now corrected. BUt what would cause it to be a mismatch between the sys.Master_files and the SSMS Properties?

Hi,
Can you show us the query. What is template file ?

Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?

Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews. We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension). The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation. Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform. Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?

FYI Rave,
There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:

Archiving : Change of Logical File Name & physical path

Hello friends,
We are doing archiving for a Z* archiving object.
We run a write job(not delete job till now) for this archiving object and it created archive files in .../SYS/GLOBAL directory as was expected from settings of Logical File Name and hence physical path corresponding to it. So far no problem..
Now, requirement is to change this path and for this i created a new Logical File Name with a different physical path.
My concern is, about already archived data in older path. Should i only run delete job for that session ?
Or should i copy the archive files to new path and then start delete job OR do a write job once again..
please suggest.
thanks
ashish

Hello Juan,
Ok, i can copy the files, those are not too many as we did it only for 2 months selection.
Can i go for write job again for same selection ? If yes, probably it will create a new session.. correct ? and then i will go for deletion for new session.
If this is also correct way, i want to do this.. as till now this has been one for only 2 months and we are going to do for 8 yrs.
One more question, will the be any problem for having 2 sessions for same selection.. means 2 write or archive job for same selection.
thanks
ashish

Logical file name or logical path name incorrectly defined

Dear All,
We are doing archival in our IDES for test purpose before we do it to our Production.
Steps Performed
Copied AM_ASSET archive object to ZAM_ASSET
Logical Path
Logical path    ZAM_ASSET
Name            Asset
Syntax group    UNIX       Unix compatible
Physical path   /archive/test/<FILENAME>
Logical File Name
   Logical file    ZAMASSET
   Name            Asset
   Physical file   FI_<MONTH>_<DAY>.txt
   Data format     ASC
   Applicat.area   AM
   Logical path    ZAM_ASSET
But when we run the WRITE though SARA , in the job log we get the following
Logical file name or logical path name incorrectly defined
When generating a file name for an archive file that is to be created, the system determined that the logical file name FIAA_ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE or the logical path name ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH was defined incorrectly.
But we have maintained a Logical name ZAMASSET , so we are unable to change the location of archived file and as well as the format.
So is there any setting we need to maintain apart from the logical file name and logical file path.
Suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation

hi,
follow this steps :
- transaction SARA
- enter authorization objects, eg SD_VBAK
- hit button CUSTOMIZING
- Archiving Object-Specific Customizing: execute Technical Setting
- field Logical File Name enter or select ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE
- leave CONTENT REPOSITORY as blank if you are not using 3rd party for storing (eg. IBM Tivoli)
- back to customizing
- from Basis Customizing, execute : Cross-Client File Names/Paths
- on Logical FIle Path Definition, highlight (select) ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH on the right pane
- double click on the Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path on the left pane
- double click on OS used, eg. UNIX, define Physical Path where archive file (on WRITE process) will be stored
- save changes made
- double click Logical File Definition, Cross Client on the left pane
- double click ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE on the right pane
- make sure that logical path is already set to ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH
- save changes made
this setting also can be done using transaction FILE
we have experienced on this case using SAP standard archiving (SARA, SARI) and everything is fine with this setting above.
hope it help you.

FU FILE_GET_NAME
Text
Assign the Physical File Name Using a Logical File Name
Functionality
R/3 applications run on various platforms with various file systems. This function module enables you to use platform-independent logical file names in your application programs.
Based on definitions maintained in customizing tables for platform-independent file names, the function module converts a logical file name to the corresponding physical file name and path for the hardware platform concerned.
For this conversion to work for different platforms, the definition of a logical file name must include a logical file path, which in turn is converted to different physical file paths, depending on the particular platform. The platform-specific file name returned by the function module is composed of the physical file path for the current platform and the physical file name associated with the logical file name. Placeholders in physical file and path names are substituted at runtime by the corresponding current values.
Example
logical file name: MONTHLY_SALES_FILE
physical file name: VALUES<PARAM_1>
logical path: SALES_DATA_PATH
physical path (UNIX): /usr/<SYSID>/<FILENAME>
physical path (Windows): C:\SALES\<FILENAME>
Example 1
Get file name for UNIX platform
(current system: K11)
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
EXPORTING
LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'
IMPORTING
FILE_NAME = FILE
FILE_FORMAT = FORMAT.
Result:
FILE = /usr/K11/VALUES
FORMAT = WK1
Example 2
Get file name for UNIX platform, passing a parameter
(current system: K11)
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
EXPORTING
LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'
PARAMETER_1 = '_TST'
IMPORTING
FILE_NAME = FILE
FILE_FORMAT = FORMAT.
Result:
FILE = /usr/K11/VALUES_TST
FORMAT = WK1
Example 3
Get file name for WINDOWS platform, with file name extension
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
EXPORTING
LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'
WITH_FILE_EXTENSION = 'X'
IMPORTING
FILE_NAME = FILE
FILE_FORMAT = FORMAT.
Result:
FILE = C:\SALES\VALUES.WK1
FORMAT = WK1
Notes
All definitions needed for the platform-independent assignment of file names are maintained client-independently with transaction FILE. Logical file names (but not logical file paths) can also be defined specifically for the current client with transaction SF01. Transaction SF07 generates a list of current definitions.
The following concepts are used in the platform-independent assignment of file names:
Logical file name
A descriptive name for a file which is associated with these values:
physical file name
file format
logical file path.
If no logical file path is specified, the function module returns the physical file name only; placeholders are substituted by current values.
Physical file name
The physical file name may contain placeholders.
Logical file path
A descriptive name for a path which is associated with these values:
syntax groups (groups of operating systems)
physical file paths.
Physical file path
The physical file path is defined for a particular syntax group. It must contain the reserved word <FILENAME> as a placeholder for the file name. It may also contain other placeholders.
Operating system
Presentation server and application server can run under different operating systems. The current value for the application server can be obtained from the system field SY-OPSYS, the value for the presentation server by calling function module WS_QUERY.
Both operating systems must be defined and assigned to a syntax group.
Syntax group
Group of operating systems with a common syntax for file and path names (e.g. HP-UX and SINIX).
Placeholder
Reserved words, set in angle brackets, which can be included in physical file and path names (e.g. <DATE>, <FILENAME>). You can find information on possible reserved words in the online help (F1 help) for the fields physical file name and physical file path when maintaining platform-independent file names with transaction FILE.
If the logical path associated with a logical file name does not specify a physical path for the current operating system (syntax group), the path stored in the profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL of the current system is used for generating a complete platform-specific file name.
Parameters
CLIENT
LOGICAL_FILENAME
OPERATING_SYSTEM
PARAMETER_1
PARAMETER_2
PARAMETER_3
USE_PRESENTATION_SERVER
WITH_FILE_EXTENSION
USE_BUFFER
ELEMINATE_BLANKS
EMERGENCY_FLAG
FILE_FORMAT
FILE_NAME
Exceptions
FILE_NOT_FOUND
Function Group

After the application of support packs new configuration is required. Samples are provided for the table SPTH but I am not able to see what configuration is required for the FILE transaction. Can anyone show me a sample of what the FILE transaction configuration should look like?

when i run
SELECT *

i got results
data_space_id name
1 master2

Please note logical name of the master database files.
But, in SSMS if i right click and choose properties for master database, it shows logical file names are master, mastlog.
How can this be happened? How can i fix this issue and make it both same names for master database?

Infpackage with logical file name having current year and month

Hello all,
I am using the FILE transaction to maintain the logical file name for infopackage loads in BW.This logicalfile name is to be assigned to physical csv file in AL11 directory.
This csv file would be having the current month and date at the end of the name for e.g for the month of April 2008,the file name would be say xx_200804.csv.I wanted to know if by using the palceholder <YEAR><MONTH> in the physical file name ,would the current month date and month be automatically concatenated at the end of file name ?Has anyone used this option before?

yes it does work,i tried out finally and the system picks current month and year

Technical Name of Openhub in logical file name

Hi All,
I am creating a few open hub flatfiles for a client. I want to use logical file names to create the files on the application server.
I want to create one logical file name which creates a file like <"Open Hub Technical name">_<DATE>_<TIME>.csv.
Now i can't find a way to include the openhub technical name in the file name.
It says in F1 that i can use a function module named FILENAME_EXIT_* that will be called in the function module FILE_GET_NAME.
Does anybody know about the coding that can be used for this? I have just basic ABAP knowledge on this one. Or is there perhaps another way on this.
Let me know!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
F Geldof.

Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers first of all.
I don't want to store the technical name of the openhub in the logical file name....i want this to be determined dynamically, depending on the openhub that is used with this logical file name.
I was wondering were i can fetch the openhub technical name during the execution of the DTP on the openhub / when also the function module FILE_GET_NAME is being ran.
Let me know!
Thanks in advance!

Freek

In LSMW while executing the specify file step logical file name and path.

Hi ,
In LSMW , while executing the specify file step, logical file name and path is mandatory field to entry, but in some of other LSMW objects, these fields are not mandatory one, i want to know is it possible for me to do hide the logical file name and path field in specify file step.
thanks
Md nisar

Hi,
For some Transactions while executing the Specify file step Logical File and Logical Path are mandatory.
In this case Converted file will be stored in the application server. According to the specified Logical File and Logical path.
Hope this will help you....

To test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based

Hi Sir/Madam,
to test how can we use the opt 'logical file name' to name the file based on the selection made in the dtp run for extracting data as flat file.

Hi Vishali,
In the DTP select the file location as application server and give the logical file path. The actual file and logical path can be created using transaction "FILE" and "AL11".
Rest of the process is same as that of extraction from local file.
Regards,
Durgesh.
