3452859 - No physical path is configured for Logical file name


ARCHIVLINK_SERVERPATH
Component: BC-SRV-ARL (Basis Components > Basis Services/Communication Interfaces > ArchiveLink),
Version: 4, Released On: 15.05.2024

Symptom
Error “No physical path is configured for Logical file name ARCHIVLINK_SERVERPATH” is raised while trying to store an
ArchiveLink document.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely
coincidental."

Environment
SAP Business Technology Platform
SAP Basis release independent

Reproducing the Issue


Try to store an ArchiveLink document.
Example: Using one of the following function modules in standalone mode:
ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER
ARCHIVFILE_TABLE_TO_SERVER

Cause
For background please check the following SAP Note:
2251231 - File validation enforcement switch for empty physical path
The change mentioned in the note affects all applications including Archive Link.
Physical Path check is required from SAP Note 2251231 release onwards. File Path ARCHIVLINK_SERVERPATH is one of
the parameters affected by it.

Resolution
1. Run tcode FILE and find the field "ARCHIVLINK_SERVERPATH_LP" in Logical File Path. If it does not exist please
create it.
2. Go to "Assignments of Physical Paths to Logical Paths";

3. Create or edit an entry for the corresponding Syntax group (for example UNIX) of your application server followed by
<FILENAME>;

The path in the sample screen capture is /usr/sap/tmp, you will need to maintain your own path and this must exist in
AL11.

4. Choose Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client and select "ARCHIVLINK_SERVERPATH" and maintain Data
format as DIR, then maintain ARCHIVLINK_SERVERPATH_LP as Logical path.
5. Save the changes.
[SIDE NOTE]
It is possible to "turn off" the validation by changing the value for table FILECMCUST via SM30.
But as mentioned in the SAP Note 2251231 this is a security threat, the Physical Path should not be empty. From Archive
Link perspective this cannot be suggested and the path must be implemented correctly.
