it just shows the access definations & ways, here i want to know how to incorporate all these with ABAP ?

hope you have understand my view now .

Why do you want to change directory permissions via ABAP? You could create a shell script and execute it via transaction SM69. Or create an entry for the chmod command in SM69 to change file/directory permissions.

hi mark,

i need to delete some specific directories which had to be replaced with new one durind ABAP execution,

so i need to delete old directories before creation of new.

& since it is not allowing user just because of limited Access, so i need to change the Access preveligaes before the delete statement.

Ok, in that case you have to create a command in SM69 with OS command /usr/bin/chmod or /usr/sbin/chmod (depends on your OS), and with this command you can change the permissions.

Kind regards,

hi mark,when i am doing the same as suggested by you , it is giving error as

"Can't exec external program (No such file or directory)

External program terminated with exit code 1"

but the files is there, the thing is that i am not sure that what to provide at EXECUTION TARGET, local or name of whcih Target host or which Target Destination.

Also i want to mention that i have given the additinal parameter as "700 /DC1/int/out/pp/shell script.txt"

where 700 is the access, & rest is address of file on sap directory.

What Unix flavor are you running? Have you tried /usr/bin/chmod and /usr/sbin/chmod? In case you make a chmod command, you cannot provide a script.. It's easier to create a script that performs the chmod for you, but I understand that you don't have access to the system itself..

So in case you need to change all files and dirs under /tmp/test, you could create the chmod command in SM69 and execute it with the parameters -R /tmp/test

Kind regards,

Mark

Thanks mark, i am almost done , but hting is that, when i am doing the chmod 000 <file address>, in abap report, then it sets the acess to no access as obvious(i have checked from AL11),

but when i use a delete dataset command below that, it stil is deleteing that file at sap directory.

i am feeling that is it require any kind of Commit or time delay to make that happen correctly?

Hello All,

i need to provide the no-access to a user to not to delete the files of SAP-directory, i know one way by changing the security descriptors of file through Shell Script/Unix called from ABAP Report before the DELETE DATASET comand.

*i have put the code to change the Access, as chmod 000 <file name>,*

& it is successful also, (i.e. when i want to see the file nw it is not displaying it), but i am still ablwe to delete it via ABAP code,

i am mising some thread . please help

I would suggest you to read man pages of chmod. (man chmod). Since you have given 000 you are not able to delete the file.

Since you have given 000 you are not able to delete the file.

Sorry to disagree.

If you chmod 000 file, you will still be able to rm -f file, as long as you have got write permission in the directory of the file.

As a workaround you might also consider the sticky bit.

i am still not done guys, please help

Hi,

Login with root first : sudo sh and assign full permissions to that file: chmod 777 <file name> and if its owner is something else in which you dnt have access change it to <sidadm> using chown <owner> : <group>.
