Accessing Java Directories in Java only PI ( PO / PI7.31)

[sugata_bagchi2]

Hi Experts,

We are currently using PO system for our integration.

Earlier in PI Dual stack system we used to check the file posted in PI application server using AL11 tcode.
Could you please tell me how to check it  if the same is required to check in a single stack PI (Java only)?

Thanks

Hello Sugata,

You can configure aliases for required directories using Java HTTP Provider (NetWeaver Administrator: Configuration -> Infrastructure -> Java HTTP Provider Configuration). Using aliases, you can navigate to the OS directory that you specified when maintaining the corresponding alias in Java HTTP Provider, its sub-folders and files located in it or its sub-folders using the web browser: http://<PI host>:<J2EE HTTP port>/<alias> .

The other way is to utilize Solution Manager - precisely, its Root Cause Analysis workcenter. If the PI system is connected to Solution Manager and the diagnostics agent is up and running on the PI host, you can employ Host Analysis item of Root Cause Analysis workcenter in Solution Manager where you can find File System Browser. This tool can be used to access file system of the connected system and view contents of files stored there.

Regards,

Vadim

Hi Sugata,

Normally Basis/Infrastructure team have mechanism for sharing AIX files on to the Windows system like Samba file share...

You can request them for access and then you can access the file system using Tools-> Map network drive option in a Windows system.

Hope it helps!

Hi Ambrish,

is there any option to see the Java directory structure  (usr/tmp/sap   etc.  kind of directories)  by connecting to the J2EE engine directly? in that case what type of user id /pwd is required and the corresponding roles and authorization?

Thanks

Hi Sugata,

You will need utilities(ex Putty) normally used by Basis/Infrastructure team to access the system your PI system is on. You will need administrator access as well. You can reach out to Basis/Infrastructure team if your project allows this kind of access to a PI consultant.

It's better to follow Baskar's suggestion.

hope it helps!
