How can I a external command from OS?

[Former Member]

Hello expert,

How can I a external command from OS level? I do not mean FM GUI_EXEC which can only execute the commond from my local laptop.

the FM i am looking for should execute the file from D:\usr\sap\ABC\sys\....to restart the SAP system from OS level like it did in SM49.

Best regards,

Cliff

Hi,

Try with this RFC SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. using this you can execute external commands in a external OS

Hi,

SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE is only used when you want to execute a command on a external OS like a different UNIX server. If you are trying to exexute the file in the local presentation server use cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute as suggested.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
  EXPORTING
    APPLICATION               = 'd:\restart.bat'
  EXCEPTIONS
    CNTL_ERROR             = 1
    ERROR_NO_GUI           = 2
    BAD_PARAMETER          = 3
    FILE_NOT_FOUND         = 4
    PATH_NOT_FOUND         = 5
    FILE_EXTENSION_UNKNOWN = 6
    ERROR_EXECUTE_FAILED   = 7
    SYNCHRONOUS_FAILED     = 8
    NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI   = 9
    OTHERS                 = 10.

REPORT ZCOMMAND NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

PARAMETERS: CMD(30) DEFAULT 'd:\restart.bat' LOWER CASE.

call function 'GUI_EXEC'
  exporting
    command          = CMD.

if the batch file is on the server is to use transactions SM69 and SM49 and then function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.

No need of uppercase eric. just imagine a situation. can you have two files in a same folder with same name but different case?
