Hi Vishal,

Check if you have authorization to read the file in the XI server..

I have access to Xi server file location. I placed file in XI server and from my program i am unable to access that file.

Please let me know how to access this file from my program. Thanks.

Hi Vishal,

You need to verify if the location where you are trying to save the file is in the same server of SAP. In case that the location is in other server you need to map that directy into the same server of SAP.

You need to point always to a location in the same server of SAP, in order that the open dataset could work.

Hi Eric ,

We are doing a customer upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6 . Here during the upgrade we have found that no open dataset statements are working to a mapped drive . while it is working fine with Physical drive . do you have any clue. we are having windows as OS here .
