Need to replace a file in the application server

[former_member690037]

Hello Experts,

Through ABAP coding, I need to replace a file which is available in the application server from one path to another. I should not use OPEN DATASET, CLOSE DATASET, DELETE DATASET and all as they deal with the data. I need to replace the file with out touching the data of the file.

Could anyone please help.

I heard that i have to use some UNIX script.

Regards,

Sudheer

You can use Fm ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER for this.

But the Fm also does dataset operations.

This can be also done using OS commands

WITHOUT TOUCHING THE DATA OF A FILE . . .Just Moving the file ( unix commands in abap )

DATA: command(255) TYPE c,

fnam_sour(255),

fnam_target(255).

fnam_sour = '\hme\usr\interface\..... " path of source file

fnam_target = '\hme\usr\interface\..... " target path, where file to placed.

OPEN DATASET fnam_sour FOR INPUT " fnam_sour -> path of source file...

MESSAGE msg IN TEXT MODE

ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

< error msg : no file exits>

else.

OPEN DATASET fnam_target FOR INPUT " fnam_target -> path where file to be placed....

MESSAGE msg IN TEXT MODE

ENCODING DEFAULT.

if sy-surc = 0.

CONCATENATE 'mv' fnam_sour fnam_target INTO command SEPARATED BY

CONDENSE command.

PERFORM uxcmd USING command.
