How to Open a file in Application Server

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am having a recquirement that I had to read the data from an Application Server file, I want to know whether any function modules are there to open a file that is in the Application server.

Thankx In advance,

Hi,

If you are on windows, the solution is to create a shared directory anf give access rights to your sapservice <SID> user.

It's not really logical to put files on app servers because one app server can stopped without stopping the system.

So we decided to put all our shared directories on the Central Instance server.

HI,

You want just to see the Data of the file. We can create a Link to that OS Level directory in AL11.

Award points if helpful.

Thanks,
