• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_B4H_SOURCE_APD028 - File accessed on client workstation. Application server access needed. ?

  The SAP error message RS_B4H_SOURCE_APD028 indicates that a file is being accessed on a client workstation, but the application server requires access to the file instead. This typically occurs in scenarios where a file is being processed or uploaded in a way that the application server cannot access it directly from the client machine.
  Cause:
  
  File Location: The file is located on the local file system of the client workstation rather than on the application server.
  Access Method: The process or transaction being executed expects the file to be accessible from the application server, which is not the case when the file is on the client machine.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the data transfer or file upload process may not be set up correctly to handle files from the client workstation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Upload the File to the Application Server:
  
  Use the appropriate transaction or program to upload the file from your local machine to the application server. This can often be done using transaction codes like CG3Z (Upload file to application server) or CG3Y (Download file from application server).
  
  
  
  Check File Path:
  
  Ensure that the file path specified in the program or transaction is pointing to a location on the application server, not on the client workstation.
  
  
  
  Use SAP GUI for Upload:
  
  If you are using a GUI-based transaction, look for options to upload files directly to the application server instead of accessing them from the client.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Check the documentation for the specific transaction or program you are using to ensure you are following the correct steps for file handling.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are unsure about how to upload files or if there are specific configurations needed, consult with your SAP Basis team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to file handling and the specific transaction you are using for any known issues or additional guidance.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes for file uploads and downloads, such as CG3Z, CG3Y, AL11 (to view files on the application server), etc.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to upload files to the application server.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully access the required file from the application server.
