Hi,

logical file path

The (platform-independent) logical file path is evaluated at runtime to get the (platform-dependent) physical path (see Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path).

Two examples of this are:

· Logical file path: BW_OLAP_CACHE

Name: BW OLAP Cache

· Logical file path: BW_OLAP_CACHE_SPAN

Name: BW OLAP cache cross-application server

Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path

At runtime, the physical path assigned for the corresponding operating system platform is generated from the logical file path.

Since the physical path is platform-dependent, the customer must set it her/himself. The closer the file is to the application server or, with the cross-application server cache mode, to the application server, the faster it can be found and read.

Log(ical) path: BW_OLAP_CACHE

Name: BW OLAP Cache

Syntax group: UNIX (all Unix platforms)

Phys(ical) path: /usr/ (Syntax group WINDOWS NT)

In a heterogeneous system landscape (such as UNIX and Windows NT servers) all system-specific syntax groups must be maintained. Ensure that the definitions for the various syntax groups point to the same directory.

5. Save your entries

Have a look at this links... i guess it explains what you are looking for...

Here is the process to create Logical File Path.

1)Go to tcode FILE.

2) Click on Logical File Path Definition. Give name "ZTEST" and some description.

3) Click on Assignment of Physical Path to Logical Path. and provide Syntax Group and physical path.

4) Click on Logical File Name Definition and give descrition, physical filename, Data format as ASC, Application area and logical path which you have created.
