Hi,

My requirement is to download .csv file from an ABAP program to presentation server. The program will be execute din background. I have made a search regarding this and found that we can first write a file in the Application Server (AL11) and from there it can be downloaded to the presentation server.The development server is SCM. The transactions 'CG3Y' AND 'CG3Z' does not exist in SCM but there is one function module "ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT"which is similar to CG3Y tcode. But when i am executing the program in background its getting cancelled.

Error is

"RFC server sapftp cannot be started - 1: Program no longer started via RFC. No return possi".

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

As per my knowledge you can upload the file on the application server in background mode, and it is not possible to upload it on presentation server.

Hi,

This can be done but it has lot of limitations like the presentation server must be on etc.

You can write a unix command which moves file from server to the PC. Then executing this command through SXGP_COMMAND_EXECUTE. We had done this once making sure that the system will not be swithced off.

You can also refer this article which describes another way of doing it.
