Hi,

Use open dataset , for reading the file

use the FM 'EPS_DELETE_FILE ' for deleting the file...

EPS_FTP_PUT (copy file) --- leave IMPORTING parameter RFC_DESTINATION empty

EPS_CLOSE_FILE

EPS_DELETE_FILE

EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES

EPS_OPEN_INPUT_FILE

EPS_OPEN_OUTPUT_FILE

EPS_SEEK_INPUT_FILE

EPS_SEEK_OUTPUT_FILE

Thanks and Regards,

Easiest way is to ask your Basis team to map the network folder onto the SAP application server. Then you will be able to just use OPEN DATASET, to access the files.

Hi Mohammed,

If ECC server and PI server are in same network you can use open dataset to read or change. delete dataset is to delete. Also you need authorization between both server. Usually ECC server admin user has to have authorization for other server.

If you are not in same network, you need to use FTP or Webservice for this task.
