I’m asking for your help in order to solve an issue i’m having but i can’t figure it out.
I made a SAP Applications DataStore using Direct Download method as I need only to show that we can access SAP metadata and read the information there. I can Import tables & BAPIs.
I made a simpel DF with an ABAP DF within it, it validates ok and i can see the ABAP code generated.
When I run the Batch Job it gets stucked on the ABAP DF Step for a few minutes and after a while it returns an error saying that the credentials are not OK (Name or Password Incorrect, repeat logon).
Credentials are fine as they’re being used to import metadata.
I couldn’t check it yet but I think that R3 server can’t reach my PC with the Job Server running on it.
Just to check, is the GUI_DOWNLOAD writing directly on the job server using the string provided on the FileName parameter within the Data Transport on the ABAP DF output?
Direct_download is a bad idea, it fails often, it is slow, it requires a full SAP GUI installed on the jobserver machine.
When you look at the generated ABAP, one parameter controls if the data should be written to a file or downloaded directly. If the latter, then once 1000 rows are collected, the ABAP does call the GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.
