How to create sap directories in application server by coding.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Please tell me how to create a sap directory via coding in application server.

Please tell me step by step n send the code also.I have tried alot using FM 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE' but i dont know how to use it n wht are d parameters i need to pass.

Also, i found that we need to create a external command in SM69 to pass in this FM...i dont know how to create this.

Please help me out.

Hi

You must use SM69 to define operating system command. For example ZMKDIR and then the operating system command would be mkdir. You would have to check the box additional parameters allowed.

The from your ABAP program you can call function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE passing the command ZMKDIR and the path.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

if you are system is a Unix based system.. the command in SM69 would be

mkdir --- create directory

The commands keep changing as per your server Operating system.. and the command can be executed using the FM you already have it.

Why do you want to do that?

Ask your BASIS consultant for that directory.

He will gladly do it for you. Besides, there are so many things involved, that I would not recommend to try to do it in ABAP at all. Especially, since you cannot be sure that the OS-level SAP user has the authority to create directories where you want them to be created.

EXCEPTIONS
COMMAND_NOT_FOUND = 2

The initial steps might have not been properly execution.. create a command and them call that same command thru FM... sy-subrc 2 is bcoz its not able to find the command you created...
