Creating a directory statically in the Application Server

former_member509072 — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 07:37:09 GMT

Hi,

I need to create a directory in the application server statically (not through code), in which I later have to store and read files. Most forums talk about doing this through AL11 --> Configure.

While this does create an entry in the directory list in AL11, I doubt if the directory was actually created in the AS. Double clicking this directory name shows an error message in the status bar (Wrong order of calls <- CALL opendir: No such file or directory). So I believe the directory is not created at all.

How do I set up a directory which I can browse and see, and use for creating / reading files?

My AS is on AIX OS.

Thanks,

Hi,

You can create a directory on application server using OS level command. Ask your Basis team to do so.

Else, you can use the directory /tmp.

Thanks Sachin.

But tell me, does that mean it always has to be created manually in the OS?

Could we not do it from SAP screens?

Hi,

Yes, Could we not do it from SAP screens?

Go to Al11 and in that you can see a tab Configure.

There you can create the Directory and say Add button

and then Save .

and after that Using

Open Data set ds1 for Output.

will create the File if it is not there .

you can specify the path in which you can create the files.
