Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/PE_PP070 - Caution: The input help only supplies files on the presentation server ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/PE_PP070 indicates that the input help (F4 help) is only providing files that are located on the presentation server. This typically occurs when you are trying to access a file or directory on the application server, but the system is configured to only allow access to files on the local (presentation) server.
  Cause:
  
  File Location: The input help is designed to fetch files from the presentation server (the local machine where the SAP GUI is running) rather than the application server.
  Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict access to certain directories or file types, leading to this message.
  Network Issues: There may be network issues preventing access to the application server.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Location: Ensure that the files you are trying to access are indeed located on the presentation server. If they are on the application server, you may need to move them to the local machine.
  Use Alternative Methods: If you need to access files on the application server, consider using transaction codes like AL11 to view directories on the application server or use file transfer methods (like FTP) to move files as needed.
  Adjust Configuration: If you have the necessary permissions, check the configuration settings in the SAP system to see if there are any restrictions on file access that can be modified.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific configurations related to file access and input help.
