  • How to change file type when exporting a report with a background job

    Hi,
    I've set up a background job in SM36 to execute a SAP Query I've created, set to send the results as a file to an external email address. When it arrives the file is a .htm (and it seems to cut out after a few pages of data), but I'd like it to export as a .xls, .txt or .csv.
    I've checked the job, the query and my user settings, but I can't find where the change the file extension used - can anyone please tell me how to do it?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Shiva,
    Can you please confirm where in SQ01/2 the file path information / settings are?
    Thanks,

  • I can open audio files but can't find them with Finder or Spotlight.

    Hello!
    I wanted to delete a few songs and found that by searching in Finder or Spotlight they couldn't be found. 
    I can open the files in Finder by opening iTunes, ctrl clicking the song and selecting 'view in Finder'. If I then 'get info' on the file it gives a folder, 'iTunes music' that I can't find. Is it possible the folder is there but hidden or that 'get info' is giving the wrong address?
    I've recently moved my data (only) onto a new computer using Migration Assistant. On my old computer I'd find the songs by searching in Finder with no problems.
    Here's an example incase I've not been clear:
    I ctrl click on 'the boy who killed time' and select 'open in finder'.
    It opens in finder and i again ctrl click on it and select 'get info'.
    Get info gives me the following address for the file: Macintosh HD ▸ epoche ▸ Music ▸ iTunes ▸ iTunes Music ▸ vincent vincent and the villains ▸ are you ready for the country.
    If I look for the song by clicking through the folders in finder (opening 'epoche' then 'Music' then 'iTunes') I can't find the folder 'iTune Music' in the 'iTunes' folder.
    Any ideas?  Rachel

    My answer in the older thread is still valid
    Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
    Please open Terminal and issue the following command
    ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
    you should get a line similar to this
    drwxrwxrwx  13 yourusername  staff  hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
    Numbers, date and time may differ.
    If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
    chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

  • Can't find "open with Rosetta"

    So, I followed the Help directions - I closed Safari, ctrl-clicked it in the applications file, and chose Get Info. But in the General section, there is no "open with Rosetta" option. What do I do?

    Hi Lisa
    I was able to listen to content on the site via the free plug-in Flip4Mac. Download a copy and install it (it replaces Windows Media Player with Quicktime, allowing you to play Windows Media content through QT). Then restart Safari and try the site again.
    See if that makes a difference.

  • How can i disable dialog box asking to restore file type associations to quicktime for all profiles windows 7

    Running a lab environment and need to be able to stop the QuickTime Player dialog that asks to restore file type associations to QuickTime.  QuickTime associations are working fine but this dialog comes up on on every user profile.  Need to stop the box from coming up at all

    Clydecat, interesting I see the image you posted. QT 7 should have a File Types tab on the top, not on the bottom as the image shows. Don't know why it is showing up like that. My guess is a component of QT was removed or administrative permissions are in deny for QuickTime preferences?
    C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QuickTime qtp
    QuickTime qtp is the QuickTime preference file. If that is of any help? You used to be able to delete QuickTime qtp if it was corrupted and a new one would be created on re-start. But that was with QT 6. So not sure if it currently works with QT 7, haven't tryed it with QT 7 myself

  • How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
    Check the apps James Ward suggests.

  • How to restore files without TIme Machine

    Help! Anyone know how to restore files on tiger? I lost my WHOLE library of photos! And I don't have back ups. :'(
    I was running short of disk space, so I decided to clean up some unnecessary files on my disk. I once imported all my photos from iPhoto to Aperture. Since I usually use iPhoto, I decided to delete all the photos from Aperture library. But the next time when I opened my iPhoto, I found the photos in iPhoto library were also deleted!!! Now there are only thumbnails of all the photos!
    Please! Anyone know how to restore the photos on Tiger? I can't afford to lose all my photos. :'(

    Try Subrosasoft's FileSalvage.
    If that doesn't work try Prosoft Data Rescue II
    If that doesn't work, take it to a professional such as http://www.drivesavers.com/
    And in the future always keep backing up your data as my FAQ* explains:

  • How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks

    How to restore files from Time Machine after Clean Install of Mavericks. I know the data is there but seems unaccessable because I may have changed the Computer or Owner name. Is there any way to fix that now?

    Hi Linc,
    my back-up data is managed by Time Machine; the actual data is on a second internal Hard Drive with a capacity of 1TB - not partitioned. I am using Time Machine and have access to all data backed up since Mavericks Clean Install but not the data prior to this date.
    When I open the 1TB drive in Finder I can see a folder "Backups.backupdb/Sigi's Mac Pro/ followed by many folders of backup dates going back to 2010-09-20-103441 and up to 2014-02-07-142414 all followed with folder Macintosh HD.  February 7th  2014 was the date of the clean install.
    These Backups are followed by backup date folder 2014-02-08-075554 with a subfolder of MacPro-320GB (this is the name I assigned to my Boot Drive during formatting; I suspect I should have assigned the same name as before ie. Macintosh HD) and 2014-02-11 with a subfolder Macintosh HD, these are the ones I get access to by way of Time Machine > Restore.
    Weird thing is on Febr 11 when I relised my possible mistake and renamed the Bootdrive back to what it was initially ie. Macintosh HD despite this I have access to all backup data since the Clean Install in both folders MacPro-320GB as well as Macintosh HD but not to any data prior to the Clean Install.
    Is there something that Time Machine knows and prevents access or is it simply a matter of renaming the subfolder 2014-02-08-07554/MacPro-320GB to ........./Macintosh HD?
    I like to restore selectively and not everything - It was hard work reinstalling apps that were supposed to be the troublemakers (ref my discussion on Maverick problems) but I now need to get onto data specific to some of these apps as well as other data I may have missed. Long story? Yes and sorry.

    Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion? I used to use Preview to change quickly change a lot of PNGs to either JPEGs or PDFs but with the introduction of versions auto save etc there no "save as" in the File menu. Any suggestions how to get this functionality back or how to get around it within OS X (no Photoshop etc)?

    Just wasted 15 minutes looking for that.  What's wrong with Save As?

  • Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

    Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

    Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto)  they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.

  • I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

    I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

    Dear Dan,
    It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
    So what I did was tested and worked for years.
    You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
    Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.
