Working with File Properties on the Application Server

Hi,
I am looking for a way to get the size of a file existing in a directory in the application server without reading it.
Is there a function module or a static method that returns a file properties exists in the application server?
Thanks,
Eyal.

HI,
have a look at tcode cg3z and then FM 'C13Z_FILE_UPLOAD_ASCII'.
What you can do is, first create the file on presentation server using OLE automation, and then using this FM, write the file to Application server

Regarding the File Format on the application server

Hi,
I would like to know the file format (ANSI, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32) of the file placed on the application server in my program. Can anyone help me with the Function Module or Class or any other way which will retrieve this information.
Thanks
Sarves S V K

Hi
You can try the standard class CL_ABAP_FILE_UTILITIES and the method
CALL METHOD cl_abap_file_utilities=>check_utf8
    EXPORTING
     file_name = filename
    IMPORTING
     bom       = file_bom
     encoding = file_encoding.
Check the possible values returned by encoding and BOM:
NO_BOM
BOM_UTF8
BOM_UTF16_BE
BOM_UTF16_LE
ENCODING_UTF8
ENCODING_7BIT_ASCII
ENCODING_OTHER

FIle Creation in the Application Server With Unicode-8 and Byte-Order Mark

Hi Guys,
I've requirement of creating a file in the Application server with the Data.
The Data Format Should be in UTF-8 and Byte-Order Mark.
I need to supply this data from SAP to PRMS.
I'm able to create a file with Unicode, but any of the guys have worked on Umicode with Byte-Order Mark, please let me know.
Thanks,
Adi.

Hi Mathieu,
If you haven't found an aswer yet, you can check in transaction SE24 CL_ABAP_FILE_UTILITIES method CREATE_UTF8_FILE_WITH_BOM. You can check the code of the method (it's very short) so you can understand how it works. It's also a static method so you can call it directly in your program.
Ex:
CALL METHOD cl_abap_file_utilities=>create_utf8_file_with_bom(your_file_name).
I hope this helps.
Pax Vobiscum.

Also, use the FM that MAX has if you have to work with files on application server by replacing code in the above logic at appropriate places, like replace

with the corresponding fm
and replace cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
with OPEN DATASET...
     CLOSE DATASET...
logic.
Hope this helps..

How to delete the record in the file present in the application server?

Hi,
I have two questions.
i) How can I delete a record based on some condition in the recordx in the file that is present in the application server?
ii) How can I lock the users whiel one user is accessing the file on the application server?
Thanks in advance.
Suvan

Hi,
If u want a frequent deletion this approach to delete a record from a file will havee unnecesary copy of records from one file to another and deletion of one file and renaming activities.
Instead what u can do is Add and field del_flag to ur record structure.
If u want to delete the record from a file just mark this del_flag as 'X'.
While processing u can have a loop like
loop at it_XXX where del_flag <> 'X'.
endloop.
This will logically delete the record.
When u r to finish the application at that time only perform this copying / deleting / and renaing activity
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Nitin

Copying dependent files, Where is the application server icon?!?

I have looked at the Dreamweaver help sites and I cannot figure out where the application server icon is! I am currently running CS3 on a mac thats running OSX 10.4, and I'm trying to upload my site from a different computer than I originally had the files. First I expand my files window in the window>files menu. But then I have no idea where the 'application server icon' is which is supposed to re-link all my dependent files I think? Please, anyone can you give me the co-ordinates of this icon?? I will love you forever!
-Thanks,
Dylan
feel free to contact me at [email protected]!

Sounds to me like they are talking about the Connect to Server Icon,

Urgent--custom servlet not working with https/gateway of the portal server

We have created the custom servlet to add some more authentication to the login screen. I have explained detaildely below.
We have set if password reset change password screen should come by using identity server.
First screen comes which asks �user id� and �password�.
after this next screen comes with �old password�, �New Password� and �Confirm Password� (as we have forcefully asked user to change password after reset by using identity server ).
On this page we have added two new filed �Date of Birth� and �Date of Joining�.
And we are forcefully transferring request to our Custom Servlet which will validate the �Date of Birth� and �Date of Joining� from the database and submit the same a form as required by Login Servlet to validate the default parameters �old Password�, �New Password� and �Confirm Password� (which is the default validation without adding custom Servlet).
This whole process is working with �http� protocol and giving �unable to connect� host with �https� protocol.
Without custom Servlet process is like this, which is working
Login (usrid, password) � Login (Old Password, New Password, Confirm Password) � Portal home Page
With custom Servlet , Which is not working with �https� Protocol. we are getting the message "Authentication Failed" screen.
Login (usrid, password) --> Login (Old Password, New Password, Confirm Password , Date of Birth, Date of Joinig) --> Custom Servlet validate Date of Birth, Date of Joining --> Login (Old password, new Password, Confirm Password) --> Protal Home Page
This one works with http, whereas this one gives the "Authentication Failed" screen with the https.
Please let me know if anybody have implemented this and help me to resolve the issue.

Installing Demantra 7.2.0.2 with IBM Websphere as the application server

Can anybody share the documentation / insight into installing Demantra 7.2.0.2 using IBM Websphere 6.1 (OS-Windows) ?
Can we install the Demantra on the same machine on which Websphere is installed or we need another box.
Which steps we need to follow ? Any setting on the Websphere for this ?
Suppose Websphere is installed on http://webmac.xxx.com (machine name) - is this the web address we need to specify even if we are installing on the same machine.
Thx for your help.
Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,
If the other users are on the same network as the machine on which Tomcat is running, they can access demantra web applications directly. Only measure to be taken is that the url should contain either IP address or the network m/c name of the server machine alongwith the port no.
e.g.
http://10.32.142.123:8080/....
http://mymachine:8080/....
If the other users are on some different network and wanted to access Demantra web applications through Internet, then you will have to ask your networking team to open the port no (e.g. 8080) of the Tomcat server machine through the firewall of your environment. This will allow the users outside of your environment to access the application running on your specific machine through the specific port only.
And the users who want to access these applications might also have to put host entries as suggested by Shekhar depending on the internet access policies of their organization.

Process Chain to do nothing if file does not exist in the application serve

Hi All,
We have a process chain that flows to different data targets daily if files delivered in the application server.
Process chain does works fine. But my question is do we have anyway to stop the process chain or do not run process chain if it does not find the file available any days during this time range instead of failing.*
Is there any settings to enable the check if file available then run or else do not run at all. Please help!!!
Thanks,

Follow the function modules listed in :
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Workingwithfiles
with these function modules - you can get a list of files available in the application server directory.
Pseudo code :
1. Generate the automated fiel name you want
2. Get the list of files in the directory
3. Search the list of files to see if your file exists
4. If the file exists then load the file , else load an empty file .
The code is unfortunately in a different BW system that I do not have access to at this moment... but then the procedre is the same as detailed above.

Printing files on the application server

Hi,
I am looking for ways to print files residing on the application server. Do you know of any function modules/transaction code that can do this?
Here is my situation:
I am using GRAPH_PRINT_POSTSCRIPT_FILE to print postscript file to the printer. I have no problem using this FM. The issue is that this function only prints files residing on the PC/local computer. It doesn't print any files on the application server.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi,
use
   CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_4_DYNP'
     EXPORTING
       dynpfield_filename = 'P_FNAME'
       dyname             = 'ZFILE_HELP'

       filetype           = 'P'
       location           = 'A'.
