Execute Batch file present in Application Server

[venkat_aileni]

Hello Experts,

I want to run the batch file present on the Application server not on the Presentation server.

I know if it is in presentation server we can use the below methods:

'GUI_EXEC  or WS_EXECUTE or by using method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE '

By using OPEN DATASET we can read/write/change normal file present in application server but how to run the batch file present on the Application Server.

Thanks in advance,

Venkat

Look at SM49 for external commands executed on AS. You can execute those commands with FMs like SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM or SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.

You can use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to execute command for your operating system for the application server. You can use SM69/SM49 to create command.

Thanks Raymond and Roy for your quick responses.

I just want to know whether do we have any other option rather than creating external commands.

Like specifying the batch file path so that it(FM or Class) triggers all the commands in the file like we do for batch files present on the presentation server.

Thanks,

Venkat

This depends mostly on the OS of the AS, some have some "command.com" like command that execute a script.

Conclusion:

As suggested by Raymond and Roy i have created External Command using transaction code SM69.

In the Operating system command i have placed my Batch file path which consists of multiple commands.

And i have passed this external command name as import parameter to FM 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'.

Thanks all for your support,

Venkat
