You cannot save a file in from a background process on the presentation server. You must save it to the application server.

[former_member189059]

The presentation server refers to the comp that you are using

the application server refers to the comp that is running your SAP

in many cases you could save the file anywhere you like

however in some cases such as background proccessing, you require to save the file on the application server since a background program has no access to your presentation server

normally saving on the presentation server is usually preferable just for ease of use, since you will not have to download the file again

If the program is to be run in background you need file to be saved only on application server.

In case user needs to have a file on the desktop for further processing and they don't have access to Application server files you would need to provide 'em with file saved in presentation server.

If the execution time of the program in online mode is high so that it dumps then you need to run in background in which case you can only have file saved in presentation server.

If the file is to be used by another program and it needs it to be in application server then you would have to keep the file in application server

Hope this helps

Hi,

if you want to save the data securely and use it for later use we go for application server.

Generaly we do save the data only on APPLICATON server .

as it is safe and easy way to retreive the data. and Most of the programmers

prefer to save the data only on APPLICATION server rather than presentation server.

PRESENTATION server is not safe and we do it for temporary purpose.

but is not preferred.

Hi ravi,

1. when to save file on presentation and when on application server

If some USER is going to use the program,

then we should save the file on presentation server (local machine)

2. If everything is going to be automated,

(ie. No user intervention)

then we should save the file on application server (ie. r/3 server)
