Display file content in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hello,
we would like to be able to display any file after having uploaded files using FileUpload ui element in a web dynpro abap application.
for microsoft word excel files, the OfficeControl ui element can be used and for pdf documents the InteractiveForm ui element can be used.
for other formats such as '.tif', '.jpg', '.txt'..... we did not find out how to be able to display the file contents
Does anybody know if and how this could be achieved?
Cheers
Ana

Chris,
You may be right. Also it requires some configuration in SAP KPro ( document class etc).
Please see SAP [Help |http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/BCSRVBDS/BDS_STRUCTURE.pdf]on Business Document Services.

Reading HTML Content using Web Dynpro ABAP

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to read the content (HTML) behind a given URL using Web Dynpro ABAP. If so, are there any functions available to parse the HTML ? I have been asked to develop an application that requires going to a URL, reading the content, and formatting a table from that content for presentaion within Web Dynpro ABAP. The HTML of the URL is nothing more than a "Table of Contents" to existing documentation ( Word Documents )
Thank you for any help / advice you can provide
Larry

You can get the HTML returned in a table using fm RSFO_HTML_REQUEST2.
Once you have that, you can convert it to a string using any number of methods. CL_RSR_WWW_RENDERER=>TABLE_TO_STRING should work fine.
One option for parsing it would be to get it converted into an iXML object, but you might have to do quite a bit of manipulation first depending on what the html looks like. You can see more info here on iXML classes: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/86/8280ba12d511d5991b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/86/8280ba12d511d5991b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm]
Otherwise I would just make use of find statements with regex patterns to sort through the html.

File Upload in Web Dynpro ABAP not using File Upload UI element

Hi all ,
I have searching for a way to upload a file using the file open dialog ( or even by manually specifying the path/file name) without using the file upload UI Element in ABAP web Dynpro . The File Upload UI element works for smaller files however with large file sizes 64 MB , the system seems to be running of memory (SYSTEM_NO_ROLL) . This is due to a known fact that the UI element makes a duplicate copy of the whole copy while it does the upload.
I have been looking at the ACFUPDOWNLOAD as a way to solve this problem but cannot seem to figure out how it works , even the sample program provided by SAP does not work. I am working with a regular abap server and not kpro( knowledge mananagement provider) or portal .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Ali.

If you are on NetWeaver 7.01, you can try both the ACFUpDownload UI element or try creating your own FileUpload in Adobe Flex with Flash Islands. ACFUpDownload requires the KPRO by default (which is why the same application isn't working for you), but you can write your own handler class to act as the KPRO receiver. Here is an eLearning on the topic:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/109b9b52-bc00-2c10-8786-e4c5e96d7e04

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70645070-bb00-2c10-f086-f126721acdb4
If you want an eLearning on the FlashIslands approach, you can find it here as well:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50d42644-91ef-2b10-228c-9e0ae75b274e

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f044b62c-90ef-2b10-64a6-9ec25294d133
However in both of these approaches you still have to be careful with how you handle large files. The problem is that they are processed often a single binary string. This makes the processing easy, but requires total amount of session memory at least as large as the file being uploaded. In NetWeaver 7.02 ABAP adds the concept of Streams and Locators to help with the partial processing of large files. This feature doesn't come until later this year, but if you are interested you can learn about it here:

Hallo Mishra,
Do You want to show data in excel ? or you want to show data in Table UI or ALV
If it is excel then you can use Office Control UI and bind XSTRING for the dataSource property.
if you have to choose between Table UI and ALV then i would choose ALV.

Excel with contents in web dynpro for ABAP application

Hi Experts,
I have excel file (example "http://xxxx/test.xls") with contents in remote system. I want to incorporate this excel file into my web dynpro application. For this I used Officecontrol UI element and set the following properties for Officecontrol
1. datasource : binding with context attribute DATAS(xstring)
2. document type : ms_excel
I wrote code the following code in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method.
data :   content TYPE xstring,
           url TYPE string VALUE 'http://xxx/test.xls'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
EXPORTING
    text           = url
IMPORTING
   BUFFER         = content .
wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'DATAS' value = content ).
while running my application, I getting excel without contents and with one message "SAP IOS". Please suggest how to display excel with contents in view of my application.
Can any one help me.....
Thanks & Regards

I think you are overestimating the power of the SCM_STRING_TO_XSTRING function module. By supplying a URL as the value of the input text, it isn't going to magically go read the content from the remote location and convert that to a binary string. It is going to take whatever value you supply in th importing TEXT parameter convert that to binary. In other words it is literally converting the string http://xxx/test.xls to binary. You will need some other mechanism to read the content from the remote location into ABAP memory before you can process it. You will need to use the CL_HTTP_CLIENT class or call some sort of web service to retrive the content.

Create a Value attribute (resource) of type Resource, bind it with the property of File Upload UI element.
On action place the code and Deploy the application
byte[] bytes = new byte[ 1024];
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( new File( <path in server>));
InputStream in = resource.read( true);
int len;
while( ( len = in.read( bytes)) > 0)

Upload a .xls file in web dynpro abap

Hello,
I want to upload a .xls file into a internal table in web dynpro abap (Netweaver 7.31).
The file is not delimited, is not an csv file.
In my view I have an fileUpload UI Element with the attribute data is un attribute type XSTRING and the following function module are not in my system:
HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING
ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
How can I upload the file with this format?.
Thanks in advance.
Xavi

Unless the files are zipped together into one archive file, you have to do them one at a time. Furthermore with the normal browser based fileUpload UI element, you must do them one at a time and the user must manually select each one (browser security limitation).
If you are on 7.01 you can use ACFUpDown to perform multiple file uploads, but there is no file dialog or directory scan so file selection is difficult.
If you are on 7.02 you can use ACFUpdown and it has a multiple file open/save dialog.
If you are on 7.01 you could use FlashIslands to perform the multiple file upload. I have a tutorial and source code sample for this on SCN.
If you are on 7.01 you could also use ACFExecute to run a batch script on the client side that zips all the files and then upload the zip archive.

Problem with Table display in Adobe Form of Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Team,
I'm trying to display a table in Adobe Print Form (not interactive). The table is bound to the context node in the Web Dynpro ABAP where the cardinality is 0:N. I get a short dump. Don't know what to do here. I'm able to display individual fields from my context successfully. Looks like something is missing when I try to display a table. Any pointers to display a data table in Adobe? Any step by step example you know of where I can find out what I did wrong? Many thanks for your time
We are on support pack SP06 on 2004S release.
DUMP INFORMATION:
Short text
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program The current ABAP program "CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES==========CP" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not caught in procedure "CREATE_PDF" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.

Hi Thomas,
We upgraded our system(2004S) to SP10 so that we can use the ADOBE form printing in Web Dynpro ABAP but could not apply note 1034425 because of the validity constraints in SNOTE. All the pre-requisite notes are already in the system apart from one note 1029721 which talks about supporting input helps. We don't want to use input helps in our system and cannot upgrade to SP11 because of problems with Business functionality.
Questions:
1) Is note 1034425 absolutely dependent on 1029721?
2) If NOT, can someone please correct the validity so that we can implement using SNOTE.
3) Would it be OK if we manually apply the changes specified in 1034425 without implementing 1029721?
4) If all of the above is not applicable, is there any other note which fixes the above mentioned short dump.
Your help in this matter will greatly help us in using the ADOBE services provided by SAP WDA.
Thanks much

Web Dynpro Abap popup doesn't display in portal

Hi all. A wierd issue here. We have a couple fields within a web dynpro abap application that use search helps. These search helps work fine when the application is run outside of the portal, but when run within the portal we get a javascript error about a 'null' object. Any ideas of what may be going on? I am thinkning there is some security feature suppressing the popup of the search helps.
Thanks so much...

Good news. Our basis team fixed the problem. There were some security settings on our apache server we use that caused the problem. Thought I would post the fix. Thanks for replies.

Excel Export issue in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hello,
We are facing a problem and need suggestion. In one of our WD Abap applications the output is displayed in an ALV table. We have a button (provided by standard ALV functions) to export Excel.
So far so good, but the issue is the amount columns display in the portal show the values as per user default settings. For example 123.456,78 whereas on export to excel it shows 12345.78
Is there some way to export to excel with the users regional settings (same as displayed on portal). So far we check, almost all columns follow the regional user default settings except the amount column. Is there someway we can fix this.
Users mention it worked before but not now. Its difficult to verify this statement now.
Kindly help how we could solve this issue.
Best regards,
Moderator message: please have a look in the separate forum for Web Dynpro ABAP.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Dec 19, 2010 9:31 PM

HI,
You cannot use GUI classes and methods in web dynpro . That will dump.
Instead you can use file down load UI element or..
If you have the content in xstring format use ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE method of CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES class.

Web Dynpro ABAP in SAP E-Recruiting

Hi,
We just imported SP8 for our SAP E-Recruiting 6.0. SP8 offers Web Dynpro ABAP as candidate UI. One question we have is how WD pages incorporated for recruiters who still use BSP pages. For example, when a recruiter logs into E-Recruiting and finds a specific candidate, he/she can click on "Candidate Profile" to get to that candidate's pages. In BSP technology, recruiter actually uses exactly the same pages that candidate uses for Work Experience, Education, etc.. With candidate UI using WD technology, does recruiter use the same WD pages when displaying candidate profile information? I have been searching all the possible places, such as IMG, SICF, in order find a spot so that I can set the switch on, but so far unsuccessful.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Li

Hi Li ,
At best of my understanding in WD ABAP , its possible to make one WebDynpro page serving same purpose ( showing profile deatils ) visible for manty( Candidate , as well as Recruiter ) ....
I would like to know what exactly you want from web Dynpro ..then I will be in better position to tell you.
FYI ...
1) Web Dynpro ABAP
As the name suggests Web Dynpro for ABAP uses exactly the same meta model as its cousin Web Dynpro for Java. A Web Dynpro component, a Web Dynpro view, a Web Dynpro model, a Web Dynpro controller have the same semantics both for ABAP and Java. The main difference is the designtime environment, the development infrastructure and the runtime environment.
The designtime environment is properly embedded in the ABAP Workbench where Web Dynpro artifacts are simply a new category like BSP applications or classical dynpro based applications before. Also no surprises regarding the development infrastructure. The correction and transport system keeps track on all changes that are done, versions them and helps to propagate the Web Dynpro application from development to production like you would do with ordinary BSP or dynpro-based applications.
Last not least the execution platform is the ABAP server that produces application content ready to be integrated in the NetWeaver Portal seamlessly. Features like portal eventing can be used between applications written in ABAP or applications developed with Java.
2 ) I can give you links that can help you a lot.
First of all start doing SAP SDN tutorials .
Create some compenents with BAPI , Component usage and ALV .
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/02e1fa45-0801-0010-10a0-f1cf47e8c943
/people/marilyn.pratt/blog/2005/12/20/web-dynpro-for-abap
Try to Download demo tutorials from SDN library & Try to search WebDynpro ABAP WebLogs .
Wait not just that SAP has provided you with ample demo example of WD ABAP already bundled with SAP . Just Try out Components starting with WDR . I can tell you few like WDR_TEST_EVENTS ( It shows how every UI elments to use )
See packages like SWDP_DEMO , SALV_WD_DEMO
there are many more .
