Hi,

I think there is no FM to rename the file. So that try the below steps.

1. if you are processing, manulay you have to append the text 'transfer' when processing the file.

2. once the file has been processed, then again manullay change the file name with addition 'OK' and call the FM

'SCMS_FILE_COPY', here you have to specify the source and target file name with path. once the file copied then delete the source file.

SCMS_FILE_DELETE - Delete

and check the class cl_gui_frontend_services

Hi,

Check the Function Module "PFL_COPY_OS_FILE".

Hope it helps.

Try using

CONCATENATE 'mv' old_filename ' '

new_filename INTO wf_parameter SEPARATED BY space.

CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE'

DESTINATION 'SERVER_EXEC'

EXPORTING

command = wf_parameter

read = 'X'.

If your application server is Unix then we can use unix command to Rename your file.

mv -> move command

mv source target

file1 souce file name with path

file2 target filename with path.

REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.
 
 data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.   
 
unixcom = 'mv file1 file2'.
 
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
        line(400),
      end of tabl.
 
data: lines type i.
  
*----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
start-of-selection.
  refresh tabl.
 
  call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                id 'TAB'     field tabl[].

For Renaming the Presentation sever

First copy the file to another file and then Delete the old file.

Calss :  CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES
Methods: FILE_COPY
              FILE_DELETE
