DMS Download a file

Hi
I have a very straightforward question:
If I download a document
from the DMS to my desktop,
does the DMS send the document
directly to me, or does the document
first "travel" to sap application server
and from there to my desktop?
Thanks
Yuval

Hi Yuval,
As I know, it will not download directly to desktop. But offcorse it is done via your SAP application. As SAP app server and content server is already linked via KPRO settings. So nothing get transfer like DMS server(Content) to SAP app. It will only access those attachments.
So when you access DIR, it's attachment will also be accessed that time and when you click on download, system will run download program.

DMS: Download file background

Hi,
I have a problem. i have a c# application in the user PC that is going to call a sap webservice that downloads a file from DMS to the user PC. this is possible or this counts as background and we only can download to the application server? if that so, is there anyway to after the file is in the application server copy it automaticly to the user PC?
Best regards,
Ricardo

Hello Ricardo Araújo ,
Using webservice also there may be some logic that we can use to write a file to the user's desktop PC.
But we need to investigate more in the technical prespective first.
Other easiest option is inside the webservice logic we can create a file in the application server and FTP / Or write it to a share folder , that share folder is accessible to the user from the desktop PC.
But to write it to a shared folder we need to do the File Mounting in the SAP application server / Shared folder host machine.
This is purely a BASIS job.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Greetson

DMS - Download File from CV03n

Hi,
if you have the document data (number, type, ....) you can use the report DMS_KPRO_READ. This report will list all originals of this document info record and with the small green download button you can easily download the file to your desired directory.

Dms-download file error

Hi SAP experts,
We are using KPRO content server for our client and have configured the same.
While uploading a file from PC or downloading a file to PC from SAP content server, sap is creating two to three additional files on desktop or the folder from where we download/upload the file.
Other than this remaining all are work is as normal. The new files which sap is creating are not in any particular format and have the names "rfc02716_01660.trc" and "dev_http"
when it try to open the same through note pad i was able to observe that it has some programming data like it was able to move and access so and points and performed the tasks and finally success etc.....
Is this a normal behavior of the system? and customer should always delete the same often when he does the download or upload actions?
Any setting to avoid this?
Regards,
sai

Ok and thanks a lot for the reply questions running in my mind are,
1) Is this a normal/correct behavior of the system? and is it that customer should always delete the same when he does the download or upload actions?
2) Any setting to avoid this? or is it good that system behaves like this.
Regards,
Sai

Error while downloading a file via APEX screen

While I try to download a file using the below code;
an HTTP 404 error is coming although the proc is being called and the parameter is correctly being passed.
Please help.
create or replace procedure download_myfile1(p_id in number)
as
v_mime varchar2(255);
v_length number;
v_file_name varchar2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;

wpg_docload.download_file( lob_loc );
end download_myfile1;
It shows a POP up window by which u can save or opens the file. But no pop up displayed in this case.
-Shreya

Hi,
Made the same changes but still getting the same error.
The earlier URL also that I had mentoned would dynamically make this url mentioned by you and then shows the pop up window.
However when I am right clicking on the download link and then clicking 'Save target as' then this error message is provided:
Internet Cannot download [schema name].download_myfile2 from [DNS name]
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet Site.The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found .Please try again.
Please help..
Thanks in Advance ...

Display save as dialog when downloading a file

Hi,
I want to display a save as dialog when the user downloads a file.
Now I get a dialog where the user can choose to open or save it.
I set these headers:
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filnamn);
res.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/force-download");Thanks!

Sorry!
When the user downloads a file I want to open a dialog where the user
can write a filename and then click Save to save the file.
Today I get a dialog where the user first have to choose if he wants to open or save the file.
When he clicks save then the dialog appears that I would want to be displayed.
I hope this clearifies my question.

How to let user download multi files at the same time in WebDynpro ABAP?

hi all:
As you know, WeyDynpor has provided upload/download UI element, but it seems that it only support one file upload/downlaod at the same time.The following is the API method to download one file in Webdynpro:
    cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
     EXPORTING
       i_filename      = lv_filename
       i_content       = lv_content
       i_mime_type     = lv_mine_type
       i_in_new_window = abap_true
       i_inplace       = abap_false
*      EXCEPTIONS
*        others          = 1
but if when use click one button, we want to provide user a html file plus 2 icons files which are used as this html file's resource file, then how to let user download these 3 files together at the same time?
one simple way is calling the download api (cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response) 3 times,
but it is very ugly that three popup windows are shown to let user select every file's download path, which is unaccepted.
So anyone know more convienient way to handle it?
thanks.

Hi,
I suggest you to zip the files and attach it to the response. Do the add file part for each of your files
     "References
     DATA lr_zip TYPE REF TO cl_abap_zip.
     "Variables
     DATA lv_zip_xstring TYPE xstring.
     DATA lv_zip_name TYPE string.
     DATA lv_file_content TYPE xstring.
     DATA lv_file_name TYPE string.
     "Create instance
     CREATE OBJECT lr_zip.
     "Add file
     lr_zip_attachments->add(
       EXPORTING name = lv_file_name
              content = lv_file_content ).
     lr_zip_attachments->save( RECEIVING zip = lv_zip_xstring ).
     "Attach zip file to response
     cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
       EXPORTING i_filename      = lv_zip_name
                 i_mime_type     = 'ZIP/APPLICATION'
                 i_content       = lv_zip_xstring ).

Downloading a file would bring up an option to open the file or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else?

Downloading a file would normally bring up an option to open the file with the appropriate program or save it - for some reason now it just downloads straight to the download folder. Why? Problem with Firefox or something else? It's very frustrating - sometimes you want the file opened first so it can be discarded or saved to a different location.

Hey. that's great! Thanks for posting back with the outcome.

Problem on windows xp with downloaded zip file

Hi,
I have written a JSP to download file which is as follows
try
response.setContentType("application/download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=<FileName>");
int iRead;
FileInputStream stream = null;
try
File f = new File(<FilePath>);
stream = new FileInputStream(f);
while ((iRead = stream.read()) != -1)
out.write(iRead);
out.flush();
finally
if (stream != null)
stream.close();
catch(Exception e)
//out.println("Exception : "+e);
After downloading zip file, could not extract files on windows XP by using any tool or built-in extractor i.e. compressed(zipped)folders (error: compressed folder invalid or corrupted).
But this works on win2k or win98
How can i work with it or can anyone tell me a solution to handle such a problem.
Thanks in advance.

This could be a problem with the built-in ZIP program in Win XP - it's possible that the ZIP you are downloading (uploading?) is simply incompatible with the XP program. In Win 98 & 2000, you would have to use your own ZIP program, e.g. Winzip, and that can handle more formats that the XP program.
Try installing the same ZIP program that you have on w98/2k on your XP machine, and see if you can open the uploaded file using it.

How to download multiple files?

I have an air app where a user can click a thumbnail and download that file to their download folder.
My question is how to go about allowing the user to select more than one and download them instead of one at a time.
Do i need to just put the download in a loop? Also My custom item renderer and stopped the tiles from looking like they are selected, how would i make them look selected?

try this
private function downloadFile(url:String):void{
            var urlStream:URLStream = new URLStream();
               var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
            downloadFileName=getDownloadFilename(url);
                  urlStream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, writeFile);
                  urlStream.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , function (e:IOErrorEvent):void{
                  urlStream.load(request);
            urlStream.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
     private function getDownloadFilename(URL:String):String{
            return(URL.substring(URL.lastIndexOf("/"),URL.length));
        private function onIOError (e:IOErrorEvent):void
            trace("An Error Occured and it looked like this.", e.text);
         private function writeFile(event:Event):void {
             var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
             var file:File=//perfered filename with location
            fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
             var dataBuffer:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
            event.target.readBytes(dataBuffer, 0, event.target.bytesAvailable);
            fileStream.writeBytes(dataBuffer, 0, dataBuffer.length);
             fileStream.close();
            event.target.close();
            downloadFile(NEXT_ONE);

Firefox opens up an explorer window when I download a file

Recently, Firefox started opening up an Explorer window every time I download a file. It's Better Explorer, actually, since I use that to replace the Microsoft version. The folder that opens is the target destination. So it creates multiple tabs, but I expect that it would just open up multiple instances of Windows Explorer if that's what I used.
So if I download a dozen images, I get a dozen tabs opened. This doesn't happen with IE or Chrome. I do have multiple extensions installed, but I've gone through the options in Firefox and any relating to downloads and none of them seem to have anything that might cause this. I did check the Applications tab under the Firefox Options, since that seemed like a probable cause. But I don't see anything. And I don't recall changing anything recently, in any case. I can't see anything in Better Explorer that would cause this behavior. Which is borne out by this not occurring in other browsers. And I haven't changed anything it, either.
I tried downloading something with NetVideoHunter and I get the same behavior. But it doesn't happen with DownloadThemAll!
I've tried researching it on-line, but the queries I use are apparently too similar to the ones for other issues, because nothing that comes up is even close to my problem.
As this is getting very annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated. Firefox remains my favorite desktop browser and I'm not prepared to give it up over this. But I'd hate to have to reinstall it, since I have it configure just the way I want it. And I'm not even sure that would fix the issue.
Thanks

Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode safe mode] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
* all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
* default theme is used (no persona)
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
* default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
* Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
* hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
* plugins are not affected
* preferences are not affected
Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.
so you may want to also check for a user.js file and DELETE that.

Downloading a file from App Server to User's Desktop

Hi All,
I know that there are many threads on file upload and download :-)
I have tried to browse through most of them and could not find my solution.
The requirement is to place a file in the unix app server directory and allow the user to download it using a link, to the user's desktop. In case you think that this has already been answered in an old thread, kindly give me the pointer. Any sample code for doing this, would be great.
I know how to upload a file from desktop to table/app server. I know how to download a file from a BLOB column in database.
Thanks,
Amit

You would not be able to use file upload or download beans, as they interact with the database and not the filesystem.
You would need to write a simple file reader routing in plain java.
