Use

In this Customizing activity, you specify the physical file paths and file names that correspond to the logical file paths and file names delivered. The system uses this file path and file name to find the transfer files on the application server.

The path of the transfer file specifies:

  • To which export file on the application server the exported data is written
  • From which import file on the application server the imported data is read

There are two types of logical file name and path:

  • With '_2' ending: When data is imported or exported, the physical file path is validated. This means that the data can only be exported from the physical directory of the application server or imported to the physical directory of the application server. The physical directory of the application server must be assigned to the logical file path.
  • Without '_2' ending: When data is imported or exported, the physical file path is not validated.

If you want to validate the physical file paths, you have to edit the logical file names and file paths ending with '_2'.

Activities

  • If a physical path cannot be determined for a logical path for the current operating system at runtime, the path specified in profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL for the current operating system is used instead.
  • You can also define paths in exchange profiles that you can assign to the import or export of the following data:
    • Sources
    • Phrases
    • Specifications
    • Reports (import only)

      If you assign an exchange profile during an import or export, the original file path and file name are overwritten.

Activities for assignment with validation (for logical file paths and file names ending with '_2')

  • Assign the corresponding physical file paths to the logical file paths.
  • In the logical file name, you can enter a subdirectory in the Physical File field that differs from the values specified in the input help. The DIR file format in the logical file name may not be changed, however.
  • In the logical file name without the '_2' ending, specify the physical file name with the ASC data format.

Note: The logical file name is used to determine the physical file path as the default value for the path of the transfer file. The physical file name is determined as the default value from the logical file name without the '_2' ending and added to the path of the transfer file.

Example: Importing specification master data

  • The logical file name EHS_IMP_SUBSTANCES_2 is assigned the logical file path EHS_IMP_SUBSTANCES_PATH _2. The logical file path is assigned the physical file path /USR/SAP/EHS_DATA/<FILENAME>. In the logical file name EHS_IMP_SUBSTANCES, SPECDATA.DAT is specified as the physical file name. As a result, the system determines the following default value for the transfer file: /USR/SAP/EHS_DATA/SPECDATA.DAT.
  • The logical file name EHS_IMP_SUBSTANCES_2 is assigned the logical file path EHS_IMP_SUBSTANCES_PATH _2 and the subdirectory IMPORT. The logical file path is assigned the physical file path /USR/SAP/EHS_DATA/<FILENAME>. In the logical file name EHS_IMP_SUBSTANCES, SPECDATA.DAT is specified as the physical file name. As a result, the system determines the following default value for the transfer file: /USR/SAP/EHS_DATA/IMPORT/SPECDATA.DAT.

Notes

  • If a physical file path and name for importing and exporting specifications, phrases, and sources, as well as for importing reports, were specified in the Customizing activity Specify Exchange Profiles, this file path and name are always output as default values for the transfer file path. As a result, validation is carried out based on the logical file path. This means the physical file path in the exchange profile must match the physical file path of the logical file path.
  • If you have not assigned a physical file path to the logical file path, no validation is carried out. The default value is determined from the logical file path without the '_2' ending (see below).
  • If you change the path, the system validates the corresponding physical file path for logical file names and paths.

Activities for assignment without validation (for logical file paths and file names ending with '_2')

  • Assign the corresponding physical file paths to the logical file paths.
  • In the logical file name, specify the physical file name with the ASC data format.

Note: The logical file name is used to determine the physical file path as the default value for the path of the transfer file. The physical file name is determined as the default value from the logical file name and added to the path of the transfer file.

Example: Import of Specification Master Data

The logical file name EHS_IMP_SUBSTANCES is assigned the logical file path EHS_IMP_SUBSTANCES_PATH and the physical file name SPECDATA.DAT. The logical file path is assigned the physical file path /USR/SAP/EHS_DATA/<FILENAME>. As a result, the system determines the following default value for the transfer file: /USR/SAP/EHS_DATA/SPECDATA.DAT.

Notes:

  • For importing and exporting specifications, phrases, and sources, as well as for importing reports, you can specify a physical file path and name in the exchange profile. The file path and name are then output in the File field as default values of the transfer file. If a file path and file name were not specified in the exchange profile, the default value for importing and exporting specifications, phrases, and sources is determined from the logical file name. A default value is not determined for importing reports.
  • You can change the transfer file path manually before starting the import or export from the application. The report export is the only exception. The SAP system uses the physical file path specified here without prompting for a path.

Activities for physical report export path without validation

  1. Select:
    • The logical file path EHS_EXP_DOKX_DOCUMENTS_PATH for the Dok-X report export
    • The logical file path EHS_EXP_CHEMTR_DOCUMENTS_PATH for the report export by program
  2. Under Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path, choose the group appropriate for your system as the system group.
  3. Enter the physical file path in the detail view for the group.

Caution:

  • To ensure that the report export orders are taken into account when they are created from the report information system and during automatic post-export in accordance with the initiator, you must include the placeholder <PARAM_1> in the path definition. The program replaces the placeholder with the initiator ID at runtime.
  • If you run the report export from multiple clients or systems that use the same file
