Create a new Folder in Application Server

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Please suggest me on how to create a new Folder in Application Server. Please note the Program runs in background. New Folder needs to be created using batch program.

I’ve searched in SCN forums and tried as follows:

·         FM BRAN_DIR_CREATE

·         FM WBMR_CREATE_APPL_FOLDER

·         FM GUI_CREATE_DIRECTORY works, but not in background. Then sy-subrc is always 1 for this FM.

·         I also tried as suggested in http://scn.sap.com/thread/686254 .

·         Command:
CONCATENATE 'mkdir' w_path_new INTO l_com SEPARATED BY space.

CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD l_com.

But nothing is working.

Awaiting your suggestions. Please help.

Thanks & Regards,

Sowmya

Hi Sowmya ,

Try to use the Parallel processing method ( call FM in background as separate task ) for creating folder in background .

FM : SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

Syntax for parallel processing method : ( Try to find the implementing this prcocessing in forums )

Parallel-processing is implemented with a special variant of asynchronous RFC. It’s important that you use only the correct variant for your own parallel processing applications: the CALL FUNCTION <<Function module Name >> STARTING NEW TASK DESTINATION IN GROUP keyword.

Hope this helps.

Hello All,

I was able to create a new Folder in Application Server using the Function Module BRAN_DIR_CREATE. It wasn't working because of the authorization to the application server path.

Used appropriate path and now, it is working fine.

Thanks & Regards,
