Split from here.

thank you for the split

New version : define a root path to restrict user acces

[Gothmog]

Hmm... doesn't work with Windows NT servers - this root path determination seems the culprit.

Comment in the header of the program :
This program is designed to run with a local pc under windows OS and a remote server under unix/linux compatible OS. If a different configuration is used, feel free to modify source code.

In fact, you need to change the root path and all the "unix comand"

Hi, there is a new version 1.1 :
- Management of authorization access for each action
- Many bugfix

To make your code O/S independant with reference to calling O/S commands, have a look at function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE and transactions SM49/SM69.

I want to keep my code as portable as possible. So i think the creation of 12 or 15 system command as requirement to install my program is not really a nice way to make the code os independant (and there is no relation between os independant and SM49/69, i can easilly check which OS is used on the server and execute appropriate command directly in the code).

No the real problem is that i dont have enough sap servers to check all possible OS config

Hi, there is a new version 1.1.1 :
- Add compatibility to ECC5 and BW3.5
- Add Gzip uncompression
- Some bugfix

[quelquepart]

Minor update to extend server path max length (up to 400char now)

[quelquepart]

Many people ask me how to download/install it.
Just Right click on the link and choose "save link target as...", then use SAPLINK to install it

[Rich]

and there is no relation between os independant and SM49/69

Yes there is. You define the O/S, then a command that does not necessarily need to be an actual command, followed by the o/s dependant command strings. If you then define a second O/s with the same command as you used the first time, followed by that o/s's dependant command strings you end up with an o/s independant command.

For example,

Code: Select all

SAP NET_ROUTING UNIX       netstat -rn   
SAP NET_ROUTING Windows NT route   print


In SXPG_Command_Execute you use the command NET_ROUTING, that then detects the O/S and runs the relevant command.
