Linux - Execute external Command (SM69, SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE)

Private_Member_19084 — Tue, 13 May 2014 05:05:22 GMT

Hi experts,

I've defined in SM69 a external command for our Linux-Host.

This command I execute with Function Module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.

However, I always get the exception 2 - Command not found.

The test in Sm69 works fine.

We are also having HP-UX Hosts and on this the command works fine.

Also other commands works fine on Linux-Host.

The command is: ls -l (so command = ls, command parameter = -l)

Does anyone know the reason for this?

Kind regards

Hi,

did you try to execute the FM thru the SE37 trans. ? if yes did you check the Case Sensistive checkbox ?

Linux (and Unix) are case sensistive

Hello Fred,

yes, I tried it also in SE37 - same result.
Case sensitive was set.

Kind regards

Hi Christian,

could you try to use a program instead of a command ? I means, "ls" is a part of the kernel, try to execute a program in a directory like ifconfig .. /usr/sbin/ifconfig

Hi Fred,

but you know, if I try it in SM69, it works well.

I've now changed ls -l to ls and this also works in SM69 and also SE37.

But I need ls -l.

Kind regards

Do you have notice SAP put a "?" after the parameter of the command "ls" ? <-- it's for additional parameters of the directory location

you could create a script "ZLS" doing a ls -l ..

Hello Fred,

what do you mean with the "?"?
Could you please explain it again?

I've now also created an OSS ticket, because I already found note 1555353 which describes a similar problem.
But I couldn't solve it.

Kind regards

try to put in the parameter : "-l ?" instead of "-l"

I've now changed ls -l to ls -l ?.

So the command paramter looks like this now in SM69: -l ?

But this doesn't work.

Kind regards

Do you really need it ?

could you use kernel function ? or you really need the SM69 ?

looks how to use the kernel function of OS command : abap - report to execute os-commands - Code Gallery - SCN Wiki

The note did solve the problem, I made an error by implementing the note.
