application server files location

[Former Member]

hie guys, i'm an ABAPER, i need to run a report that picks up a particular file, but the file has to be located on the application server in a certain folder that has application server files . so the parameter for the report has to be something like this "
umdev\upload.txt" where can i place it in order to pick it up with that path?

Hi,

Use transaction FILE to define a logical path.

Define the logical path to use a physical path on the CI server (because it is a SPOF).

This physical path must be shared to be defined like

<P=SAPMSHOST>\shared_directory.

Using this technique, your abap program ca nrun on any of the CI or DI servers and be abla to access the file.

hie olivier, could you please elaborate a bit futher, i managed to create a logical file path named "Home" in the Assignment of physical path to Logical path, for Logical file defination = IDUN000(RFBIBL00), for Defination of variables i put FILENAME = filename then for Syntax groupDefination = Windows NT and Assignment of Operating System to Syntax group = Windows NT

and the syntax group = Windows NT

wat is the next step after this?
