Can't write excel file

Hi, I have a download function. when user click download, javascript opens a window, the opened page will output excel file using Content-Disposition inline;filename=my.xls. contentType is applicaiton/xls. It works in IE6. But now some users in IE7, when they click download, the window opened and closed immediately. There even isn't a popup box asking for save/open/cancel. How can I fix this?

I tried attachment disposition and also set the content-type text/CS. I still can't get the Save/Open dialog or the excel sheet.
The problem is not the same as popup blocker block. The window that I opened using javascript just blinked. So it's opened already, don't know why it closed immediately (it supposed to display the content that written out by servlet).
I used Fiddler and here is the response (it looks fine to me):
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Wed, 05 Aug 2009 05:41:10 GMT
Server: Apache
Content-Length: 29652
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=test_08052009.csv
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/CS
data1,data2,data3
I tried on IE7.0.5730 on Windows XPsp2 and IE8 on Vista.
I found the answer. It's the IE setting. Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > Dowloads > Automatic prompting for file downloads (needs to Enable, default is Disable).

Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
This affects less than 5 people in a large company. They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously. There has been no changes made to the server either. I can't find anything that points to this in the
event viewer.
It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.
I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
Can they open other excel files?
It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
SharePoint has issues ;)

Can't write cache file for while creating domain in soa 11.1.1.5 on HP-UX

Hi,
Installing SOA 11.1.1.5 on HP-UX and during domain creation/configuration I am getting the below errors
**sys-package-mgr: can't write cache file for**
and have lots of cache file errors for different packages
Any idea what might be wrong and whats the cause of these errors and is it safe to ignore these errors if not what is the work arround. As I already looked at the below post but I don't find */var/tmp/wlstTemp* on my machine as suggested in the post below.
SOA 11.1.1.5 install got can't write cache file
So wondering if there's anything else I can do i.e. while creating or configuring a Domain pass some parameter to config.sh etc.
Thanks

Hi,
I don't see python.cachedir in config.sh. Here is config.sh
#!/bin/sh
mypwd="`pwd`"
# Determine the location of this script...
# Note: this will not work if the script is sourced (. ./config.sh)
SCRIPTNAME=$0
case ${SCRIPTNAME} in
/*) SCRIPTPATH=`dirname "${SCRIPTNAME}"` ;;

esac
# Set the ORACLE_HOME relative to this script...
ORACLE_HOME=`cd "${SCRIPTPATH}/../.." ; pwd`
export ORACLE_HOME
# Set the MW_HOME relative to the ORACLE_HOME...

export MW_HOME

SOA 11.1.1.5 install got can't write cache file

Hi,
I installed 2 node cluster of SOA 11.1.1.5 on linux and during domain configuration I got errors i.e.
**sys-package-mgr: can't write cache file for**
Installation was done and all the servers start/stop fine am able to deploy the processes, am able to access all the urls fine everything coming up fine BAM, SOA, OSB etc . Just wondering if the error above have any effect on the installation or any piece that might not work. As I have already did the installation and ignored those errors above so just wanted to see if anything I need to look for.
Thanks

Hi,
It's a cluster install and took sometime to do the full install so it will be a pain to re-install everything over. Currently have tested the processes and seems to be working fine.
Also I don't find
/var/tmp/wlstTemp
I do see wlstTemp appended with linux users who did Oracle SOA install.
Also in-future when creating a new environment besides the above chmod 777 on /var/tmp/wlstTemp is there any parameter we can supply when running config.sh. I read some where that in-order to get by these errors at the time of domain creation we can also pass some parameter.
Thanks

Can't save excel files

Getting an error when trying to save files in excel: "Someone lese is working in 'Network path' right now please try again later.
All PC's are Windows 7 and Office 2013. I can confirm that the file is not open by anyone else.
This is becoming very frustrating and I can see other threads on this issue with no resolution.

If you just can't save Excel file located in shared drive normally, it should not a Office product issue, maybe there are some other applications in the server causes these issue. Check permission and try to disable the preview and detailed
view to test this issue.

Manish

Hi Manish,
We also had same requirement where we need to show indian local language(Hindi ,Bengali and many more ).
We had implemented following approach and perhaps it will helpful for you.
1-First we changed the encoding value in jdeveloper.
go to jdeveloper --> tools --->preference-->encoding , select to UTF8
2-We used to get the properties and it's translated value from business and then we were manually put these pair into related resource bundle.
And using this we were able to implemented multilanguage support.
Thanks

Mail Server Error: Fatal error: can't write proc file

I am a novice with OS X Server. It has been running fine for months but now I am having trouble. I get the following error log in SA:
Dec 3 19:19:24 MasterControl imap[1761]: Fatal error: can't write proc file

The drive has lots of space left on it.
Also in the maintenance accounts section, it states for every user there is an unknown mailbox path in the mailbox store.
Any help would be appreciated.

I rechecking the situation, the drive is showing that it is totally full. Its a 60 gig drive that yesterday had 10 gigs on it...now it is full. Not sure where the other 50 came from or where they are. I've just deleted some programs and the drive is still showing full.

Can i use EXCEL files on iPad ?

Guys:
First time Apple product user and just bought mu new iPad. And wondering if I can use my excel files on iPad? Most of my financial models and data are based on excel and wondering if I can use these files on the road.
Thanks.

Excel files can be viewed on the iPad "out of the box" as mail attachments but if you want to edit them, you will need a third party app that provides compatibilty. Apps like Documents to Go, Numbers, Office HD and others can be found in the App Store.
Transferring the files back and forth to your computer can be done in a number of ways such as email, iOS file sharing and using cloud services like DropBox.

How can I append excel file rather than replace it?

Hi,
I have the attached VI set to write data to Excel, One case structure sends the data to cell B6, the other sends the data to cell B7. The problem is, the data is deleted from one cell when new data is added to another.
I think I want to be able to append the data without deleting other cells. Any ideas?
Thank you
Todd

Toddzilla,
There are a couple different ways to append to excel files. A couple links that might get you going are:
Can I Add New Data to an Existing Excel File Without Erasing Old Data?
Append Data to an Excel Document Every Iteration Using Report Generation Toolkit
Are you trying to write over cells B6 or B7, or are you trying to append within the cell itself?
Hopefully this can get you on the right track. When I append to files I tend to insert rows or append to the end of the file.

Numbers can't open Excel files generated by SQL Reporting Services

Hi
I have an issue with Numbers '09 not being able top open certain Excel files. The Excel files in question are XLS files (not XLSX) and come from SQL Reporting Services. They open fine with Excel on the Mac and on Windows - but Numbers on both the Mac and iPad pops up with an "Invalid file format" when trying to open them.
I see this as a problem with Numbers and would like to send Apple an example file so they can look at improving their Excel file support but I can't find anywhere to do this.
Do Apple monitor these forums? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Thanks
I compared the beginning of your file to the beginning of two XL ones which are on my machine (in fact, they are files created with openOffice).
You may see that there are many differences.
They may explain the different behaviour.
If someone is able to drive Excel with an AppleScript,
he may write a script opening your document in Excel,
saving it
opening the newly saved file in Numbers.
As I don't own Excel, I ignore its required syntax so I can't write a clean script.
If the XL's syntax is the same than the Numbers one, this quick and dirty one may do the trick :
set aFile to (path to desktop as text) & "Treatment Report No Header.xls"
tell application "System Events"
set aName to name of disk item aFile
end tell
tell application "Numbers"
open file aFile
save document 1 (* maybe save document aName *)
close document 1 (* maybe close document aName *)
end tell
tell application "Numbers"
open aFile
end tell

Numbers can't open excel files that requires a password

How can I open an excel file that requires a password? I recently purchased the 'Numbers' program and I get an error message saying that Numbers cannot open an encrypted file. However, I can open and view the file (but not edit).
Apple needs to fix this!
Any suggestions on how to open a password protected file using Numbers?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have had issues with sporadic document upload problems. There are several SAP notes. Primarily there is an issue with Internet Explorer and keepalive timouts. Try each/all of these three options.
1) Examine the keepalivetimeout settings (see SAP note 900804)
2) Examine MaxRequestContentLenght setting (see SAP note 898637)
3) Ensure that your Temporary directories for the J2EE server are set correctly use the Config Tool to add new parameters
-Djava.io.tmpdir=[a suitable temp directory ([SID]ADM user needs read write acces)]
-Dcm.tmpdir=e:\EP_TEMP (example) (see SAP Note 898637)
Hope this helps

How to write excel file (.xlsx) using file adapter without using java code

Hi All,
In soa suite 11g Is there any ways to write the data to the excel ( xlsx ) file using fileadapter and not using java code..Thanks in Advance

Hi Siva,
I don't think there is any way to write .xls file directly. You'll have to use some Java API (iText etc.) to create an .xls file. However, you can write .csv file that can be easily converted into .xls at the target end. In MS, it opens as Excel file if delimiter is comma *,*.
