SAP Program J_1AF027 - Data Medium Exchange with Disk

Description
The program loads DME files onto a disk or hard drive. To do this, theuser must be logged on to the SAP System via a PC equipped withoperating system OS/2 or DOS and TCP/IP software.
You also need to specify the DME file with the entire path in the UNIXfile tree. Furthermore, you must specify the target drive (A, B or Cetc.) and the name of the target file. If necessary, you can alsodesignate subdirectories. This is always necessary when writing to ahard drive, so that transaction data is not mixed with the system fileswhich are found, in part, in the root directory.

Requirements

PC-specific requirements
The program can only be started from a PC. Otherwise, a message appearssaying that the disk drive was not found or that the disk drive andsubdirectory 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 extendedwith the entry:
SAPR3 SAP
[Blank line]
For TCP/IP version 1.21 from IBM, a similar file, TRUSERS. with thefollowing 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 loginto the PC could not be carried out.

SAP-specific requirements
A special feature is to be taken into consideration in this case, sinceyou 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 bewritten under the SAP System profile parameter 'dta/allow'. Only thencan you write on the disk drive C and the subdirectory.
