Control the file creation location

0 Kudos

Hey guys, we have a a few background jobs that run abap programs. These programs are sometimes using the files sitting at the OS level and sometimes they are generating files that are put at the OS level.

Now some of these jobs do not give a choice to choose the target server and hence, sometimes we would get the same files one 1 server and sometimes on the other. And obviously thats an issue because we would like all the files to be located at a single location. I do not know how to accomplish that. I have looked at the following options and would like to know what is possible and what is not?

1. Creating logical directories (NFS mount) at the network level.

2. In the abap code, we can give the directory location of these files, but is there also any way to give the host name in the code ?

3. any way to load balance the back jobs ?

4. any way to modify the back job parameters to give the option to choose target server ?

Thanks,

Hi

Easiest way is using NFS for that purpose.

Since SAP uses NFS in order to share SAP binary and transport objects between application servers in UNIX environment, I don't see any problems to use NFS.

hi!

All of our systems use NFS for interfaces, transports and archive directory.
