Open dataset on netwrok file system

[former_member253718]

Dear Experts ,

we have a requirement for which a user needs to write a file directly \\hostame\zzz\zzzz\.txt , i created a logical file name in transaction FILE and asked user to use the same , but he is not able to open the file

Th user was earlier able to write to his own desktop , the path \\hostame\zzz\zzzz\.txt  is also accessible from users desktop

can anyone confirm if it is possible to write directly to network path

Hello Shubham,

When you reach a file from SAP layer SAPServiceSID (the user used for SAP Service)  users access rights are used to reach the file.

So there must be RW access for the user in the target system. If you are using windows make SAPServiceSID users passwords the same on source and target systems.

You can test the file access using AL11 transaction. Create a custom folder DIR_XXX targetting \\hostame\zzz\zzzz folder. Then try to read the folder content. If there is no problem you can use it on other processes.
