Table Usage

Defines for which purpose the storage shall be used:

1. Temporary storage
2. File and temporary storage
3. File storage

Using File storage corresponds to the definition of the logical export file in Customizing. Using Temp. storage corresponds to the definition of the logical storage file.

If you assign a profile to a user, this profile is used for this user at runtime instead of the Customizing settings.

In case of the Azure File Service or Azure Blob Service storage type, using Temporary storage as usage type does not make any sense because the system is permanently writing and reading.

Use RFC Destination

Select this option if you want to use an RFC Destination. This is available for all storage types except for SAP® application server and FTP server.

You can perform the maintenance of the RFC Destination using the SM59 transaction.

Hostname

Enter the server name here.

When this option is selected, you can alternatively specify an RFC Destination here, except for the storage types SAP® application server and FTP server.

Pathname

For the SAP® application server storage type please enter a Logical File.

For the FTP server, WebDAV server and Azure File Service storage types you can specify a path here. You can also use reserved words enclosed in angle brackets such as <SYSID> or <UNAME> separated by a slash "/".

Go to the list of reserved words.

Filename

If you do not make any specifications here, an automatically generated file name will be used.

As an alternative, you can also use reserved words.

Go to the list of reserved words.

Create folders

Select this option if you want to create folders during runtime.

Using the function button you can display the password in plain language.

Max. file size in MB

If there are restrictions regarding the maximum file size due to the storage type or if you want to split larger files into smaller files, you can specify the maximum file size per file here.

If not defined otherwise, the complete file will be written.
