1. You should work with your basis/unix team to determine the path of where to store the UNIX script.

2. Use transaction SM69 to create an external command that points to your UNIX Script. (If you don't have access, your basis team may have to help with this)

3. In your abap program, use function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to call the command you cretaed in SM69.

Hi,

try the below code

parameters : p_sfile(60) lower case

"File to be moved

"Eg : /home/in/SFILE1.txt

p_dfile(60) lower case.

"File's Destination

"Eg: /home/archive/SFILE1.txt

data : t_btcxpm

like btcxpm occurs 0,

p_addparam

like sxpgcolist-parameters.

concatenate

'/home/ABAP/scripts/Archive_file.sh'

p_sfile

p_dfile

into p_addparam separated by space.

refresh t_btcxpm. clear t_btcxpm.

call function 'SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM'

exporting

commandname = 'ZSHELL'

additional_parameters = p_addparam

tables

exec_protocol = t_btcxpm

exceptions

no_permission = 1

command_not_found = 2

parameters_too_long = 3

security_risk = 4

wrong_check_call_interface = 5

program_start_error = 6

program_termination_error = 7

x_error = 8

parameter_expected = 9

too_many_parameters = 10

illegal_command = 11

others = 12.

if sy-subrc = 0.

write : /

'File',p_sfile,'moved to',p_dfile.

else.

write : / 'Error Occured'.

endif.

Reward points if found helpful……

my unix script enc.sh contains the following lines.

echo "hello"

echo $1 $2 $3

java -jar Encryptor.jar $1 $2 $3

Now while runing the abap program is throwing error message.

HI,

Can we call a shell script to do operations outside SAP system using SM69 transaction..

I have to archive files out side the SAP system from one folder to another which are mapped to APP server using NFS.
