Execute file exe stored on application server

Former Member — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:58:45 GMT

Hi all

my question is simple:

Is it possible in abap to execute a program (.bat file) stored on server? In background would be great ...

thanks

Gabriele

BAT file would mean Windows commands.

If application server is running Windows operating system, batch file can be executed, in background.

Create an external command in transaction SM69, specifying path of batch file on server.

Write an ABAP program which will run this external command defined in SM69 using function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. You can then schedule you ABAP program to run batch file.

Pawan.

Hi Gabriele,

Follow the steps:

1) Define external operating system command say zcopytm1 using SM69 by using the following parameters:

Command name Operating system Type

ZCOPYTM1 Windows NT Customer

Operating system command

e:\tm1out\tm1ph.bat

Parameters for operating system command

Leave this blank

tm1ph.bat is the batch file which it will execute.

2) First test it using SM49. Once satisfied use the following code to execute it thru ABAP:

DATA: BEGIN OF t_copy OCCURS 1.         
INCLUDE STRUCTURE btcxpm.
DATA: END OF t_copy. 
DATA:      statusline LIKE btcxp3-exitstat.     
CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'          
EXPORTING             
commandname            = 'zcopytm1'             
status                              = statusline          
TABLES             
exec_protocol                       = t_copy          
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             
wrong_asynchronous_parameters       = 12             
cant_enq_tbtco_entry                = 13             
jobcount_generation_error           = 14         
OTHERS                              = 15.

Hope it helps

if the batch file is not located in application server and the client system then also can we run it?

Means lets say the batch file is located a another server other than client system and application server. Can we run it through sm69?

Thank you all. It worked both SM69 and SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE
