Directory for temporary data

Former Member — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 15:09:38 GMT

Hi everyone!

I want to upload a file from the frontend and save it in a temporary location before processing it further. Is there a standard directory on the app server I can use (something like "%TMP% in windows, only standard for all types of SAP installations)?

Regards, Joerg

You can use sapworkdir

'Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Filetransfer'

Hi,

Thanks - but I need a directory on the app server.

Also, the path should be OS-independent, i. e. it should come from transaction FILE or something like that...

You can store it in the application server. There will be a temporary directory '/tmp'. Give any filename and it will create a file with that name in the path specified.

You can also create one using FILE transaction.

Check out transaction AL11 for existing directories.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Go to Transaction AL11 -> DIR_TEMP /tmp/

You can place files in that folder
