• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADUAREPORTS170 - WARNING: File (&1) can't be saved to appl.server w/o logical name! ?

  The SAP error message HRPADUAREPORTS170 indicates that there is an issue with saving a file to the application server because a logical file name has not been specified. This warning typically occurs in the context of generating reports or exporting data in SAP HR (Human Resources) modules.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Missing Logical File Name: The system requires a logical file name to identify where to save the file on the application server. If this is not provided, the system cannot proceed with the save operation.
  Configuration Issues: The logical file name may not be properly configured in the SAP system, or the mapping between the logical file name and the physical file path may be missing or incorrect.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to write to the specified location on the application server.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Specify a Logical File Name:
  
  Ensure that the report or program you are executing has a logical file name specified in its configuration. This can usually be done in the selection screen or parameters of the report.
  
  
  
  Check Logical File Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction FILE (or AL11) to check the configuration of logical file names.
  Use transaction FILE to view the logical file names and their corresponding physical paths. Ensure that the logical file name you are using is correctly mapped to a valid physical path.
  
  
  
  Maintain Logical File Names:
  
  If necessary, maintain the logical file names using transaction FILE or SFILE. You may need to create or modify the logical file name to ensure it points to the correct directory on the application server.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user executing the report has the necessary authorizations to write to the application server. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the documentation for the specific report or program you are using to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for file output.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if it involves configuration that may require deeper system knowledge.
