The mv command could not work with SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

[fanglin_ye]

hello all,

i want to use the function SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE to move files from one folder to another on application server. So i created a command "Z_MV" using TC sm69. The additional_parameters for the function call SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE looks like "/home/transfer/fnn/in/*.xml /home/transfer/fnn/archiv". So i think, that should be equals to that i call the command "mv /home/transfer/fnn/in/*.xml /home/transfer/fnn/archiv" direct on the application server. But in practice it does not work. I got the error: mv: cannot access /home/transfer/fnn/in/*.xml. Could someone help me? thx.

regards,

Fanglin

Can you go onto the server and execute your command?  If not then there is no way that SAP can.

hello Neal,

of course i can raun the command "mv /home/transfer/fnn/in/*.xml /home/transfer/fnn/archiv" on the server. On the server the SunOS is installed.

Can you please share with us how you have defined the external OS command?

Hello Suhas,

hier is the screenshot about the external command:

I don't see a parameter in the command. I think you need to define that as well. Place a & in Parameter field to be able to use a parameter in your command

[SuhaSaha]

Can i ask you test the OS command directly via SM49/SM69?

@Peter - AFAIK that defining the params is not required as long as the "Additional parameters allowed" checkbox is checked

BR,

Suhas

PS - You can turn on the trace as well

hello Suhas,

i have changed my parameter in ABAP code:

from "/home/transfer/fnn/in/*.xml /home/transfer/fnn/archiv" to ""/home/transfer/fnn/in/Sample.xml /home/transfer/fnn/archiv"."

Then the function call "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE" works. I think the command "mv" has problem with wildcard (e.g. *.xml) in function call "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE".
