Data on application server

[Former Member]

Dear all,

     I have a list of files which are stored on the Application Server in a particular directory .

     I was able to get the all the files using the function Module SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST but

     is there any possibility to get the names of the report which were used to write the data.

with rgds

How would you possibly expect this to work?

How should an OS - which is agnostic of ABAP, independent of ABAP at all (and can only be called from ABAP) - should be aware of which ABAP report generated its files?

You should inspect the program which writes the files and add the maintenance of a history there.

Hi Rudiger,

     Thanx for the update. what u say right.

     when i ran the standard report "RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN" and got a huge list which is impossible to get into each and find out the path.

Or is there any where we can a list of report (ofcourse with the Path) ,where in the data is being read ,Written into the directory.

Hi Ranjith Singh,

the file properties will give you owner's (creator's) name, date and time written. This may help you to find out details.

We used

  CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'

    EXPORTING

      commandname                         = 'LIST_DB2DUMP'

      additional_parameters               = l_path

     operatingsystem                      = 'UNIX'

*   TARGETSYSTEM                        = SY-HOST

*   DESTINATION                         =

*   STDOUT                              = 'X'

*   STDERR                              = 'X'

*   TERMINATIONWAIT                     = 'X'

*   TRACE                               =

* IMPORTING

*   STATUS                              =

*   EXITCODE                            =

    TABLES

      exec_protocol                       = lt_btcxpm

which seems to work on all kind of operating systems.

The creator of the file will be the single collective OS user used by the SAP installation (e.g. 'devadm'), if the file is created by SAP.
