J_1AF027 - Data Medium Exchange with Disk

Description

The program loads DME files onto a disk or hard drive. To do this, the user must be logged on to the SAP System via a PC equipped with operating system OS/2 or DOS and TCP/IP software.

You also need to specify the DME file with the entire path in the UNIX file tree. Furthermore, you must specify the target drive (A, B or C etc.) and the name of the target file. If necessary, you can also designate subdirectories. This is always necessary when writing to a hard drive, so that transaction data is not mixed with the system files which are found, in part, in the root directory.

Requirements

PC-specific requirements

The program can only be started from a PC. Otherwise, a message appears saying that the disk drive was not found or that the disk drive and subdirectory are not allowed.

For DME to be possible, the PC must be prepared accordingly:

The host must be allowed to access TCP/IP software. For TCP/IP from Essex, the file PASSWD.TXT is to be created or extended with the entry:
SAPR3 SAP
[Blank line]

For TCP/IP version 1.21 from IBM, a similar file, TRUSERS. with the following contents must exist:
users: SAPR3 SAP
rd: a:\ b:\
wr: a:\ b:\
[Blank line]

If this is not the case, a message appears saying that the host's login to the PC could not be carried out.

SAP-specific requirements

A special feature is to be taken into consideration in this case, since you are to write onto the hard drive (disk drive C). In the SAP System, you must also specify the subdirectory into which the file is to be written under the SAP System profile parameter 'dta/allow'. Only then can you write on the disk drive C and the subdirectory.
