Writing the files in different server

Hello
I am using oracle8i. I am converting the data into XML files. My company wants to
keep the converted XML files in different server. I am planning to use UTL file to
create the files. So UTL FILE would not write in another server. What is the
best way to solve this issue ?.
My option is
1. Create the XML files in Oracle server(using UTL FILE).
2. Write the batch script to move the files to another server.(can you give me a sample script for writing the batch file ?)
Is there any other alternate way to solve this problem ?.
I would appreicate if you could give me any other simplest way.
Thanks
Govind

Can i specify the remote file path in UTL_FILE_DIR(parameter files)... Please clarify .

Read XML file from different server on JSP

Dear All,
I am a newbie to JSP with XML, now i want to read the "test.xml" from JSP.
I read successfully this "test.xml" file from my system and I got output, but I need to read the xml file from
different server like "http://www.domain.com/test.xml". I couldn't read such a type of file from different server.
Is it possible to read a xml file from different server?
If anybody have idea please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,

You might try:
Document doc = docBuilder.parse ("http://www.domain.com/test.xml");Alternatively use the java.net package to obtain an Input Stream to the xml document
InputStream in = methodThatYouWriteYourselfCalledgetInputStreamForURI("http://www.domain.com/test.xml");
Document doc = docBuilder.parse (in);cheers,

Append data into the file in application server

Hi Friends,
I have an issue where i have a job which has three different stepst for same program. If i run the job the program will create a file in the application server and append the other two steps in the same file without overwriting the file or creating a new file.
My problem is like its creating three different files in application server for that particular job since it has three steps . Its not appending into one particular file .
I am using the FM 'Z_INTERFACE_FILE_WRITE' where i have used the pi_append in the exportng parameter . ITs working when i specify the file in local system. It is appending correctly when i run the report normally to apppend into local system.
But when i schedule a job to append the file in application server its creating three different files.
Kindly help me if anyone is aware of this issue
Thanks in advance
Kishore

Hi,
Please use open dataset to write and append files.Please check the logic of Z FM which you are using .
To open and write into a file use
OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT.
To append data into existing file use
OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR APPENDING.
To write into file:
v_file = file path on application server
OPEN DATASET v_file FOR output.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
write:/ 'error opening file'.
ELSE.
TRANSFER data TO v_file.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET v_file.
For appending :
OPEN DATASET v_file fOR APPENDING.(file is opened for appending data position is set to the end of the file).
Thanks and Regards,

File adapter Need to wait When Other Applicatio is writing the file

Hi All,
This is File to File Interface, iam using NFS here.
While other application is writing the file to the Folder, XI Sender File Adapter shld wait for certain time and then pick it up.
We have the Option " MSecs to Wait Before Modification Check" on File Sender Advanced TAB.
But it is no Use, it is not behaving correctly.
Please assist me on this
Regards

Hey Vamsi,
I think you're good to go here. The behaviour is exactly as it should be. The polling interval takes priority when there is no file there but when there is a file there the modification check will take priority over polling interval so it will still wait the mandatory 2 minutes to ensure that no modification is taking place & that's exactly what you want. You don't want to pick up an incomplete file irrespective of when it was put there. So there will always be just over a 2 minute delay (or whatever you set the Msecs value to + a few seconds depending on where the polling cycle is when a file is written out but a max of 2 minutes & 19 seconds delay) when there is a file there but at least you'll have consistent data. If there is no file there the adapter will just poll every 20 seconds until a file arrives.
The 2 minute 'wait' step is exactly that. The adapter will see the file then wait 2 minutes & probably does a timestamp comparison or something. It doesn't do a modification check within those 2 minutes. Having said that, I don't see why you can't reduce the Msecs interval. My reasoning is that you basically want to establish whether it's still being wriiten out before you pick it up. Even if you set it to 5 seconds you should still be able to pickup whether the file is being modified (I'm assuming that the check is doing a timestamp comparison). That will significantly reduce your time wait period.
My assumption on the timestamp comparison was wrong It's actually does a comparison on file size when it reads the data in, see SAP Note (Point 3): [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bc_xi/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d383231323637%7d]
Another suggestion made on the note: Get the writing application to write the file out with an extension different to the one you're polling for. Then, after they have completed writing out the file, they can do a re-name to the extension that you're polling for. That could also speed up things.

Validate the file from app. server before uploading

Hi All,
I am trying to upload the data from application server into an internal table.
My requirement is I need to validate the data before I upload the data into internal table.(i.e I open the file from application server using FM Open_Dataset.Now before I upload the data into an internal table,I need to first validate each record in the file).I have some 7-8 lakhs of records in the file.
Any input for the above requirement would be of great help
Regards,

hi Nsp,
I guess validation of data will be only possible after uploading the data in to an internal table ...

Error in Reading the file from Application Server

Hi,
This Error is regarding one of my interface, the issue is that , the interface reads data from file in bunch suppose 100 records at a time , then processes those records and once finished go for next 100 records .
Noe the error is that , the process takes place till 500 records correctly but when it went to fetch for next 100 i.e fom 501 to 600 it selects only 501 to 583 .
this records has been processed successfully but the job finished there only
but the file contains 788 records
When the same file has been run in other server it ran successfully without such error .
Can you please suggest how to resolve the issue

Hi,
Try to manually download the file from application server using standard transactions, and than check how many records are you able to download from app. server.
I guess there might be something wrong with the format of 583rd record, which makes sap assume that the file has come to an end.
Hope this will help you.

How to transfer the files from one server to another through pl/sql...?

I want to transfer all the files from source server with respective directory to designation server with respective directory (designation server - oracle reside server).
Is it possible to ftp from one server to another server(designation server - oracle reside server) through pl/sql. these two servers are independent & unix server.

No ... The package mentioned in
http://www.oracle-base.com/dba/miscellaneous/ftp.pks
this works for across the server i.e. transfer the files from one server to other (it is basically ftp) ..
So it is NOT correct that this code transfer the file between two location & with in server..

Problem while dowloading the file from Application Server

Dear Experts,
I am facing the Problem while downloading the file from Application server.
We done the automatic function while saving the invoice, this will create an idoc, and this idoc is written in the Application Server.
I am running the Transaction AL11 and select the record, and from menu --> List, i am downloading into TXT format.
But for some segments, the length is long, and so the last 3 to 4 fields values are not appearing in the File. Even though i am unable to view the values in the file before downloading. But i can view in IDOC.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Srini

but our user will use the Txn. AL11 and they will download from there
Educate the user On a serious note, tell him this is not how data from app server should be downloaded. You can ask him to talk to the basis team to provide him access to the app server folder where the file is being stored.
I can set the Variant and put this in background, But always the file name will be change, Like we use Time stamp in the File name.
You can't automate this process by scheduling in BG mode. This is because the in BG mode you can't dwld the file to presentation server.
Hope i'm clear.
