Access to local hard disk in an RFC?

I have a BI-IP application in Excel. It contains a button which calls an exit planning function via RFC. Now the question:
Can I access a file on the user's hard disk from the ABAP when it's called via RFC? If not, which technology would you use to read a file content and put it into an SAP DB table?
Thanks in advance and best regards
Dirk

Ok, I found a solution. The BEx Analyzer has an option to open an additional GUI connection which allows you to use the standard CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES methods.

  • Open dialog defaults to local hard disk and eventually crashes

    Hello everyone. I am working with a client who is running PowerMac G5, Tiger 10.4.8. Here is the issue:
    Every time he opens a file in any app (Adobe CS2, Macromedia suite, MS Office, etc) he has to navigate to the file server. In other words, none of the applications remember the last open path, it will default back to Computer > Volumes > SERVERNAME. The same thing doesn't happen if he drills down into a folder on his local hard disk. For example, if he were to open a Word document from /Users/MarkS/Documents/Folder1, close Word, and go to Open (File > Open, Command+O, etc) it goes back to /Users/MarkS/Documents/Folder1.
    The other issue is if he tries to navigate back using the recently accessed folders (the dropdown menu in the Open Dialog sheet) then the application crashes (again, this is with any app).
    He is connecting to the fileserver via AFP (Windows Server 2003 with ExtremeZ-IP 5), gigabit (on a dedicated switch to his department), and according to him, this issue began some time ago.
    The only thing I've tried was to remove his Finder preference file, logged out, logged in, and after recreateding the Finder preference file he had the same results. Just to be sure it wasn't just his account on this PowerMac, I logged in with a different domain account and the same issues came up (i.e. with another user account on that same G5). So it makes me wonder if its a system wide issue.
    Any thoughts?
    MacBook Pro 1.83, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard disk, Super Drive (nothing special!)   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Turned out to be a simple fix. There were old names in the /Volumes directory, which simply had to be unmounted. If they were not unmounted, the GUI would recognize the Apple share, but the underlying system would create a new directory with a "-1" appended to the end, thus confusing the OS and causing the applications to crash.

  • Instructions on the Apple site to do this but it didn't work. How do I revert back to the original set up? All files still on local hard disk

    I moved the itunes folder to an external hard drive but it didn't work, so I want to revert back to original set up. All the files are still on the local hard disk. I have tried to reverse the steps I used previously but when I try to play a track it says original file could not be found. If I navigate to the itunes music folder and select a track direct from there it opens itunes and plays so I know the music is still on the computer I just can't figure out how to get it to play direct from itunes.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

  • How to read images from local hard disk and display in tile layout

    Dear Folks,
    I have 100 images in a folder @ local hard disk (E drive).
    I would like to display them in Tile view of 3X3.
    I have options (Radio buttons) to chnage the layout at runtime to 4X4 , 5#5 and 6X6.

    1. So I would like to know which is the {color:#3366ff}best way to load local images in ImageView{color}.I'm no expert, but is there a reason that you are using Swing to do the loading?
    2. secondly, currently the system displays all images only after the completion of creating all images. {color:#3366ff}How to display images as and when they are created.{color} So that the user has a feeling that the images are loading.JavaFX Image class let you display a lightweight placeholder, and you can bind the progress to some kind of visual indicator. I don't think you can display an image that is partially loaded.

  • VM auto start in a single server pool with only local hard disk repository

    I searched the forum but can't find anything similar.
    Basically, part of the dev environment I have is just starting to use Oracle VM to have a nice centralized place to manage the VMs and managed server.
    Those environment doesn't have shared storage and all VMs are stored under local hard disk. (as just having several VMs to share the resource in a single server)
    So there is only one server in the server pool.
    What should be the best way to set up VM auto-start when this single server is rebooting or start from boot up?
    Should I just set up a symlink of /OVS/running_pool/vm1/vm.cfg to /etc/xen/auto/vm1.cfg ?
    (p.s. I can't set up HA mode in the single server pool since this is ocfs2.local, it will fail)
    Thx in advance.

    After some testing, I'm now using a traditional way (for single server with local repository)
    auto start VM in dom0 during server starts up:
    ln -s /OVS/running_pool/vmname/vm.cfg /etc/xen/auto/vmname
    auto shutdown VM in dom0 during server shut down:
    - edit /etc/sysconfig/xendomains
    change the line:
    XENDOMAINS_SAVE=/var/lib/xen/save
    to
    XENDOMAINS_SAVE=
    I also change XENDOMAINS_RESTORE from true to false
    Now when I need to reboot/power down the server via OVM, I can just go ahead and do it without migrating..and xendomains will shutdown all my VMs and start them up next time.

  • Access external USB hard disk drive with REISERFS Linux filesystem.

    I recently bought second-hand an older MBP Pro (2006 model) with Tiger installed, which I use as a desktop system at home and I would like to be able to connect an external IOMEGA 500 GB hard disk drive to it and have read/write access to its contents (mostly video / picture / music files). I spent a while searching on the Internet for solutions - nothing usefule came up. Does anyone in here have any ideas on how to do this? Is it possible at all after all?
    P.S.: Apart from this older MBP Pro, I also have a newer model (bought in early 2008) with Leopard installed - I wouldn't mind finding some solution on my problem on that OS instead...

    Hi,
    The two ways I can see to possibly do it are to network the Linux machine & Drive, then use Samba to access it.
    By using the Mac OS X Virtual File System (VFS) capability and writing kernel extensions, you can add support for other file systems. Examples of file systems that are not currently supported in Mac OS X but that you may wish to add to the system include the Andrew file system (AFS) and the Reiser file system (ReiserFS). If you want to support a new volume format or networking protocol, you’ll need to write a file-system kernel extension.

  • WiFi bandwidth required to access Time Capsule hard disk

    Hey all,
    Recently I moved, switched, houses. In this new house I have put my Time Capsule in the living room, and my computer is in the bedroom.
    Ever since I did that, I had troubles accessing Time Capsule hard drive. It would often get disconnected, Time Machine could not "find backup disk", streaming video was not working, and more.
    At first I thought that in the move I managed to bump TC a bit too hard and that maybe hard drive itself was damaged. Then I moved my MBP to kitchen, to do some work there (kitchen overlooks living room, there is a direct visual link to TC from there, no walls in between).
    Taaa-daaaa! Connection to Time Capsule and the hard drive inside was perfect again.
    However, all of the WiFi signal indicators, on both my Mac and other iOS devices are full when I am in my bedroom. The signal is therefore strong enough to make these devices think there is a 5/5 signal quality. But obviously that is wrong signaling. Not even Air Port utiliy gave any clues that even tho WiFi signal was 5/5 the actual bandwidth was not even close sufficient for optimal access to Time Capsule's hard disk. Which is just silly.
    Dear Apple, would it be possible to implement some sort of speed check into Air Port Utility which actually checks _REAL_ state of bandwidth and then advises what to do; "Please move closer to the Time Capsule Basestation, bandwidth is too low to access".
    I will say it again; the WiFi indicators are all 5/5, and everything regarding regular internet access and similar works awesome. But connection to hard disk obviously requires epic signal strength and no software indicates that.

    If the Time Capsule is providing a wireless network signal, an Internet connection does not need to exist to move files from the Mac to the Time Capsule, or vice versa.
    Log onto the Time Capsule wireless network
    Open Macintosh HD
    Look for the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window
    Click on the Time Capsule icon and a folder named Data (unless you have renamed it) will appear to the right
    Double click Data to mount the drive on the Mac's desktop
    Open the drive on the desktop and you can drag/drop files over to the destination that you choose on the Mac.
    Once the file transfer is complete, double check to make sure that the files are back on your Mac and everything is working properly. Then, you can erase the Time Capsule hard drive.

  • Reading files from local hard disk - Access Local Files Only

    This is the first time I am trying to do something like this, all help is grealy appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Esxi command for check my OS is installed on local hard disk or SAN

    Hello ,
    How I can check my OS (ESXI) is installed in Local HDD or SAN storage ????
    Pls help..
    Vaibhav

    The first thing you must do is make sure that when the user connects with the Remote Desktop session that they allow their computer to share their disk drives with the remote computer (via the "more" or "options" button on the bottom of the screen (there seem to be a couple of versions of RD out there).  Each time after that, they'll get prompted for sharing the drives again, and they can then tell it to stop issuing that message for that connection, so they don't get it all the time.
    Then what you need to do to access the drive from the remote session is to change your hard-coded path to
    tsclient\C\Test\sample.txt.  You can see how this works yourself by starting a session
    as suggested above, then going to windows explorer on the server. Go into the address bar and type
    tsclient\  and after a delay, it should show you all the client's connected drives in a drop-down box.
    I don't know how dependent this is on the server OS, but it works fine for me on 2000.

  • TimeMachine Confused: Can no longer access my external hard disk

    Suddenly this morning after 3 days of use time machine can no longer access my external USB 2.0 disk. It states failed to access disk. Although I can access the disk fine via the finder. In the preferences I try to reselect the disk but its not listed. I tried rebooting and it still can't see my usb disk, although again the finder can access it fine.
    HELP!

    The same thing had happened to me with my new USB2 drive. I found [this fix|http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/apple/leopard-disk-utility-format-issue-screws-w ith-time-machine-but-theres-an-easy-fix-316573.php] on another thread and it worked for me (so far).
    Before the fix, Disk Utility showed my USB drive partition as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but it showed the volume still as FAT32.
    I certainly don't know if this was the problem, but my drive would only randomly work with TM or the Finder. After the fix, at least for the last 12 hours, the drive has worked correctly with both.

  • Can I access files on hard disk outside of OS ?

    I installed a program which seems to have screwed up my computer. Now my computer wont boot into leopard (hangs on a blue screen). I know the exact files which are causing the problem and would like to delete them... is there a way i can access the files on my HD and delete the offending files aside from target disk mode ? - don't have a firewire cable.
    many thanks!
    nick

    Possibly, although it depends upon when in the startup process these files are interfering.
    You could try safe mode. This mode normally inhibits startup of preference panes and contextual menu items as well as some login items.
    If that doesn't work you can try single-user mode. This boots the computer into the command line mode where you can delete files using the Unix commands. However, you will need to know the actual path to the installed file(s) in order to remove them. The Unix command for changing directory is 'cd' (no quotes) and the delete command is 'rm'. Take care with its use as it's not user friendly and can delete anything on the drive without warning so be sure you enter file names correctly. If a filename has spaces or other special characters then you need to enclose the file name in single or double quotes, e.g., 'This Filename Has Spaces'. To find out the syntax for a Unix command enter the command: man commandname.
    To restart the computer from single-user mode enter: reboot then press RETURN.
