Extract the File Name

[Former Member]

Hi,

Every Month I will drop a file as FILEJAN on application server and my Data Source/InfoPackage should pick this file and process once it process it should move to Archive Folder as "ARCH" on application server.

How can we do this if anybody have any idea?

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

1. is the date is fix on every month or its random....if it is random then u need a shell/DOS script which will run everyday and will look for if any file is there or not and then will trigger and event which will run the process chain and then package...if it is a fix date then you can schedule your chain/package on that day

2. Once the load is successful you need to move that file from Application server to archive folder....u can use Shell/DOS script to move file....

now question s how will u know load is complete or not...

use an ABAP program below info package in the PC which will be triggered once the data load is successful...this ABAP prog will have external command to move that file from application to archive folder

Thanks

I did this using UNIX Shell Scripting and FTP previously.

BASIS, Unix people used to do it.
