reading data from other server with abap ?

Former Member — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 15:00:24 GMT

hi there,

i have a small problem: we are running erp 2005 on as/400. i have files on another server, which is an windows 2003 server, this server has nothing to do with SAP.

i have to read this data from this specific folder from this server, HOW to do that with abap ?

and it is NOT allowed to use FTP on the other server for security reason !!!! so FTP is NO option !! just to inform you

best regards, Martin

Have system administrator map (mount) the remote server's file system into SAP's application server. In your ABAP program, read the file as if the file is on the application server (using OPEN DATASET statement).

It should allow to read a certain path from SAP server, in this situation u can use the comand OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET, because the path would belong to Application Server.
