I will be very great full for any help.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Sarath,
There is an extension CODE PAGE with OPEN DATASET stmt.
Can you please elaborate which character set you want to write to the application server?

Read PDF Formatted Spool and write PDF File to Application Server

Hi Experts,

Currently as you can see I have commented out GUI_DOWNLOAD Function Module, But it works perfect when I try to Download file to Local Desktop.
But when I try to pass the same Contents to Application server file and then try to open it by downloading file then it opens BLANK pdf file.
As per requirements I should be able to write the file correctly on Application server and If I dowload it from there it should open PDF file correctly.
Let me know if you require further details about the issue.

Write XML file in application server

Experts,
I'm using a transformation to generate a xml file:

Anyone knows how to do it ? Transaction cg3z it's different because the file comes from C:

OPEN DATA SET to write files in application server folder - some of the files are missing

Hi,
I'm using OPEN DATASET statement in batch job to write the files in application server. what i'm experiencing is when i schedule the batch job all the files are not writing into the folder.
If i run the report again to write the missed files, the files are writing into the application server folder.
after opening the dataset, i'm closing it. do we need to give any delay between creation of the files? or until the first write operation is done, 2nd one can't start ..how can we achieve this.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks,
Adi.

Hello Bathineni,
Are you using the sy-subrc check after the OPEN DATASET statement.
If not use a sy-subrc check and transfer the contents to file only when the OPEN DATASET returns value sy-subrc = 0.
if sy-subrc is 8 repeat the same loop say for 3 attempts until the OPEN DATASET becomes 0.
DO 3 TIMES. <---- put any number of attempts as you need
OPEN DATASET.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
TRANSFER contents to file.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET.

Try declaring it as TYPE STRING. Not sure though.
There are two predefined types in ABAP with variable length:
STRING for character strings
XSTRING for byte strings

Problem opening file in application server received by FTP.

Hi,
I am using FTP_COPY to receive file in application server.
I am receiving file from FTP but I am unable to open them because the mode was set as 640 as in attributes.
Could you please help me in how to receive in readable format...
Any suggestions to use FTP commands?
Thanks in advance.

If you do not have authorizations to open the file its easy: there is nothing you can do except contact the ftp admin.

Can any one tell me how to write open hubs to application server?

Hello Everone,
I created open hubs and my requirement is to write the file to application server. So, I created logical file name and logical paths as specified in below link.
http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW04S/helpdata/EN/8d/3e4ec2462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
That is created 'logical file path defination' in 'FILE' transaction. Used the physical path as - 'bw/FTPOUT/BPR/GM/<FILENAME>' as given in above link..
In logical file name I used the above logical file path.
When I run the open hub, I'm getting the ABAP dump "UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
CX_RSB_WRITE_ERROR
12/18/2008 09:00:40"
Can any one tell me how to write open hubs to application server?

Hi David,
Goto transaction code - FILE
1) Create a Logical File Path definition, enter the technical name and description by clicking new entries and save it.(z_ftp)
2) create a Logical file name definition using cross client,
enter the logical file name = z_ftp , name = ftp , physical file = ftp_test.txt,
dataformat = ASC, Appln area = BW and Logical path = z_ftp(created from step 1).
click SAVE button.
3) Assignment of physical paths to logical paths, choose your logical path here.
enter the syntax group = UNIX
Physical path = /bwftp/....
Save it .
In the openhub,
choose definition type = file
Check the applicaion sever.
servername = dev
type of file name = Logical file
Applin server file name = z_ftp
separator = |
Hope this helps and solve your problem.
Thanks

Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.

Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks 10.9.1. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.
I am having trouble locating such files as PDF's INDD, AI etc. When I view all hidden files and try to open it in the program..it looks like it is really not on the drive. Has anyone come across a solution?

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

How can I see KSC5602 character set using JDBC thin driver

After I change character set from USASCII7 to KO16KSC5601, I
cannot see korean from the clients
using JDBC thin driver.
But, I can see korean clearly using sqlplus at serer, or
application using SQLNet.
I use Oracle Enterprise Server 8.0.4.1.0, jdbc thin driver
8.0.4.0.6 on Windows 98. I read that all bugs realated
to multibyte language are fixed in Oracle8. What can I do to
solve this problem?
PS.server: Oracle 8.0.4.1 on Digital Unix 4.0b, client: jdk1.1.8
on Windows98. I used the command.
null

The easiest thing to do is download it as an archive with your applet.
Otherwise, you have to have the files on every client machine.
For netscape, put the classes111.jar in the java classes folder typically:
c:\ProgramFiles\Netscape\Communicator\Program\java\classes.
I'd expect that IE would be setup in a similar way.

How can i change character set on forms9i runtime?

Hi Every Body,
i am a user on forms9i developer.
i want to know how can i change character set definition when i run a form on web(with oc4j).
is it any JAR file or another file that i can change display of characters on forms9i runtime on web?
thanks a lot.
f-badiee.

hi frank,
thanks a lot for your attention.
i have a problem on persian language.
whereas oracle dosn't support persian(farsi) language,
i use arabic character set for simulation.
in oracle developer6i (forms) i had no problem about displaying farsi fonts on runtime.
but in forms9i that runs forms on web(java applet) i can't use farsi fonts correctly.
for example when i type a word(boilerplate text) on farsi language in form builder i can see it correctly but when i run my forms on web , characters of that word have some displacement.
i want to know that is there any configuration file for solving this problem?
thanks a lot.
be successful.

No, you are not.
- You are not using the correct version doc vs. Oracle server version. Try to find the same suggestion in the relevant doc.
- The doc you reference specifically says "... it can be used only under special circumstances. The ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET statement does not perform any data conversion, so it can be used +if and only if the new character set is a strict superset of the current character set+." (emphasis is mine)
You do not have a strict superset.
- Also the special clauses you have used are not documented - for a reason.
Please edit your posts above to remove the ill-advice (steps with internal use only clauses) that does not belong on a forum.

To access pdf files from application server using web.show_document

Hello!
If my pdf file is copied in Oracle_home/forms90/java directory.Then using web.show_document i can access the pdf file.But I can't copy all the pdf files in /forms90/java directory.We have lacs of pdf files which I want to keep in my own directory.But my requirement is if my pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in (Linux application server) ie in my own directory where I store all the pdf files.Then web.show_document does not open the pdf file.It says page cannot be displayed.For that I think we have to configure the directory /home2/docs directory as a webserver.From otn I got something like forms90.conf file in application server where we have to set virtual directory mapping etc.If the pdf is in local machine then in orion-web.xml file we have to mention real path and save the file and shutdown oc4j instance and restart it again.I tried it.But it is not working.Can u give me step by step instructions to solve this problem.I found a few links in discussion forum.But is doesn't work out.My pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in Linux application server.Please treat it as urgent.
Regards
Jayashree

Hi Sandeepmsandy,
There is no available code sample for this scenario. You may write your own.
Step 1: Get pdf URL from sqlite database. Please refer to the following MSDN blog and see a code sample.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertgreen/archive/2012/11/13/using-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps.aspx. Note, you need to retarget the project to 8.1 and then get two sqlite packages from NuGet before building this sample.
Step 2: Use some special classes to get file from serer.
HttpWebRequest can help download small pdf files. For more information to see
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/de96a61c-e089-4595-8349-612be5d23ee6/download-file-with-httpwebrequest?forum=winappswithcsharp. It’s easy for use, but if you want to download the larger or many files, it’s recommend to use
BackgroundTransfer namespace. The classes in this namespace provide a power way to transfer files in the background. See a code sample from MSND.
