Hi,
While creating a logical file, and uploading it in the Development system using the transaction 'FILE', I am getting a pop up to create a request, which i create.
Now the question is, if i need to create the logical file and upload the files to the application server in quality and production, do I need to create new entries in Quality and production, or do i need to create it in Development, giving the quality system, and production system path in seperate entries and transport it in two seperate entires in Quality and production respectively.
I will certainly avoid points for the solution.
Thanks and Regards,
Thiru

Hello,
normally you create these entries in development system and transport them to quality and production.
Remember: most of these entries are client independent customizing.
The whole sense of these logical defintions are to have an abstraction between the filenames in ABAP-programs and the real filenames on the file-system.
For example: we have interface-files that reside in
development system (T44) on a path named /usr/sap/T44/data/in/fi, in quality system (A44) on /usr/sap/A44/data/in/fi
So we defined a logical path that ZFI_FI_IN with points to the physical path /usr/sap/<SYSID>/data/in/fi/<FILENAME>. That fits for all systems, because <SYSID> is a parameter
which is translated by the function module FILE_GET_NAME.
There are some more parameters that you also may use, like <CLIENT> or <DATE> .

You need to create entries in all environments ( Quality/Production ).
