XMII Write File in Multiple Server Node Configuration

[Former Member]

We have a scheduled transaction using the Write File object to create an html file on the XMII application server which is then retrieved by a dumb terminal and displayed on a LCD monitor via URL call to the web server directory. We have two server nodes, but this transaction seems only capable of putting it on one server file path so half the time it would fail. Is there any way to use the Write File object that makes it architecture aware? I don't want to have to rewrite all of this type of transaction every time we add or delete a server node, or even deploy another server.

If there is a better way to do it, also, I would be very interested to know it.

Thanks,

Phillip

If you use the web:// prefix to save the file (perhaps use the html saver) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii122/helpdata/en/44/6b4a9e32af6d13e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm then it will be cluster safe, since the initial save will go into the project folder in the underlying NW table, and then subsequently be published to the WebAS folder structure(s) for the html content. NW 7.0 had different folder paths for the web content, but NW CE shared a common path for each server node.

The web:
prefix tip was spot on. It saves the file to every server node when used.
