Hi Suresh,

AL11 transaction is used to display all the SAP Directories.

When you double click on a directory, you will able to see all the files in the directories.

If you want to use SAP to view the files at the OS level other than the default SAP directories, then you have to goto SM69 to set up an external command. Use SM49 to execute the command.

Anup.

Hi,

FILE :

AL11:

By using this T-code, we can display SAP application server unix directory structure, even files and file contents.

Even we can configure foldes in the application server.

FILE:

We can define logical file paths to the actual physical file paths. We can use these logical file paths in the programs to access the files. By this way we can provide some sort of security to the data which is residing in the servers.

these two transactions come in to picture wen ever u are storing a file in Application server...

File--u will have a logical path in ur Program..Thru File transaction u assign a physical path to the same..Means in that path only u can find the file that u have stored in App Server..

AL11--here u can find the stored file in application server..in the defined path by the above procedure..

Hope the above info helps...
