Need to Download Files on to App Server

[Former Member]

Hi SDN,

I am using the T code f110. I need to download the files onto the Application Server. The application uses WS_DOWNLOAD functional module. I can give the ftp path of the server and download the files( eg.
<ip address>\<directory>. But the app server machine is a UNIX Machine and has UNIX path.

I know the directory on the Unix Machine. I can see the path in al11, that appears to be /usr/sap/...

Can anyone tell me what path shall I give to the Download File, passing to the F Module WS_Download so that the files get downloaded to the correct directory on the machine.

Helpful answers will be rewarded with points!!!

Thanks,

Manu

Manu,

you need to use OPEN DATASET to read file from App Server.

I need to write the file to App Server. The Standard Functionality uses ws_download. Just the correct path and things will work.

Any clues.

Thanks,

Hi,

Create a logical path for the particular application server directory(As u know that),what u want, in the Tcode "FILE" and selet the path.

Creating and Defining Logical Paths

You can link a logical path to any logical filename. The logical path provides a platform-specific physical path for any logical filename. To create a logical filename, choose Logical file path definition from the Navigation group box in Transaction FILE. On the screen, you can then define a new logical path as shown below:

Save the logical path.

In the Navigation group box, choose Assignment of physical paths to logical path. This allows you to link logical paths to physical paths and syntax groups. You can now either choose a logical path and maintain its link to a syntax group, or choose New entries to create new links. The physical path for the syntax group UNIX might be defined as follows:

You can display lists of possible entries for the Logical path and Syntax group fields. When you create the physical path, you can use reserved words (enclosed in angled brackets). These are replaced by the appropriate values at runtime. To display a list of reserved words, place the cursor on the input field and choose Help. The physical path must always contain the reserved word <FILENAME>. It is replaced at runtime by the logical filename used by the logical path. The value of the reserved word <PARAM_1>, used in the previous example, is an import parameter of the function module FILE_GET_NAME.

Hoep this helps u,

Refer to the code below.

Use function GUI_DOWNLOAD to download required file into int. table.

Then use the following code to read and write into appl. Server

data: p_path type rlgrap-filename value file_path.

constant : file_path type rlgrap-filename

value 'D:\usr\sap\RES\DVEBMGS00\work'.

( This path is taken from AL11).

This code is to read file from Appl. Server.

open dataset p_path for input in text mode encoding default.

do.

read dataset p_path into result.

if sy-subrc 0.

close dataset p_path.

message i007.

exit.

else.

append result to i_prog1.

endif.

enddo.

To write file into appl. Server.

concatenate p_path '\' 'FILE1' into p_path.

open dataset p_path for output in text mode encoding default.

if sy-subrc 0.

close dataset p_path.

message e004.

exit.

endif.

loop at i_prog into wa_prog.

transfer wa_prog to p_path.

endloop.

close dataset p_path.

message i006.
