Access to PI file system to upload and download files

[Former Member]

Hi,  I need an access to PI file system for testing of a scenario,but the problem is that we cannot have admin rights to the PI server.  We try to work with AL11 but it's only to monitor the directories and the transactions CG3Z and CG3Y doesnt exist.  We also try with ZTOOLS but;we dont have authorisation to this transaction.   Thanks for your help in advance !  Regards,  Sambaran

Hi Sambaran,

You can use the Function Module (Transaction: SE37) 'ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER'.

Once you have executed the function module, fill out the path (your local directory with filename) and target path (your AL11 directory with filename).

Hope this would be helpful.

Hi Pradhan,

Can you please check this link: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Basis/Copy+Transport+Requests+to+local+file+system

This should provide the ability to retrieve files from OS to your own system.

Kind regards,

Hi ,

check this one...By using this procedure you can download as well as upload your files...from Application server and Remote server...

if client and server are in same network the u can configure your file adapter using NFS protocal.

if they are in different network the you can upload using SXDA_TOOLS tcode.

The porcedure to put a file on server is as shown below:

1. Save your file in your local machine.

2. In XI server, enter the tranaction code "SXDA_TOOLS".

3. In the input screen, enter:

i) Object Type "DXPROJECT".

ii) Program Type "BAPI".

iii) Program "CREATE".

4. Press Copy (Ctrl+F5) button.

5. Now, you will get another screen in which you will see 3 blocks called as "Source", "Target" and "Copy with/without conversion".

6. In Source block, choose the radio button "Presentation Server" and then take F4 help to select your source file. (file which you have saved on your local machine)

7. In TARGET block select the radio button "Application Server", check the box "Remote server" and take F4 help to select your application server.

8. In the same block under "File Type" select "P physical file name" and under "File Name" write the path/directory name which you have mentioned in your communication channel along with the file name.

Example: suppose file name in your Comm Chanel is "demo.xml" and directory path is "/abc/testfiles/XML/", then in step 8 write "/abc/testfiles/XML/demo.xml".
