Docx, xlsx, pptx files download as zip for some browser

Dear all,
I find that docx, xlsx, pptx files will download as zip for some browser.
Would like to know if it related to the MIME setting for portal, if it is where can I change the setting?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bill

Hi Bill,
Technically, these files are zip files. However, in your case I assume the browser doesn't recognize the file type since NetWeaver hasn't provided a MIME type and therefore tries to be 'intelligent'...
Have a look at SAP note 1062725 (https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1062725) this might solve your issue
Cheers,
Robin

  • No docx/xlsx/pptx support in OFFI in Patch 12 (GUI 7.10 for Win)

    SAP Note 1286878 has also been updated as of today (02/27/09), and for those using OFFI, support for Office 2007 xml documents (docx/xlsx/pptx) will not be available now until Patch 13 is released (Week 19?)
    An FYI for those like myself, who are anxious in having this support

    Hi Michael,
    originally we had planned to introduce support for the new formats in patchlevel 12, but we figured out that the way we originally planned to introduce this support would have had some very severe drawbacks (including requiring changes to applications using Desktop Office Integration). Therefore we decided to search for a better solution. In the meantime we found a very good solution which works without changes to the applications and will come with patchlevel 13 of SAP GUI for Windows 7.10.
    For those who urgently need support of .docx we will additionally provide an intermediate patch which is based on patchlevel 12 and will - in addition to the corrections from PL12 - only contain the extension required for using .docx in about 2 weeks. Please keep watching note 1286878 for more information on this.
    Best regards,
    Frank

  • 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.

  • File Download not working for anchor tags

    Hello,
    I've encountered a bug with the 4.1.31 version of Tomcat. Apparently, when
    I use an anchor tag for a file, and I click on the link, it does not show the
    file download message "Do you want to open or save this file?" with the open
    and save options. Instead, it displays the file in the browser. I know you
    could normally save this information from the browser to a file, but I need it
    to show the download message because it's easier for users to save their
    file. I'm using Internet Explorer version 6, SP2. I've also tried setting
    the "Confirm open after download" check box for file types to no avail. It
    use to work in Tomcat 4.1.18.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Can anyone pls. help me ? I tried all options from disbling firewall to uninstalling Bonjour.. But nothing works. Had I known that Apple makes such worst software I would never have bought iPhone !!!! Apple really *****!!!!!!!

  • Options for large XML file - downloading from the app hangs browser

    I am using 5.6.3 in EBS.
    My users want to create files that can be uploaded into another system. The system will take XML files so my original idea was to create a data definition and have the user simply save the xml output (using View XML option). A .rtf template is also required for a pdf output - a summary of what was sent in the extract. This idea worked fine until I got a large file (37+ MB) and the View XML crashed my browser. Other than moving the files to a directory on the server that my user has access to, is there any other way to get at that raw XML?
    Updated:
    I have been doing some more reading and I am wondering if both an etext template and a pdf template would have been the better solution. This way I could submit once with the etext template and republish same data with the pdf template. Has anyone tried this successfully? I am not sure though that this would eliminate my problem with the large files (100,000+ records) crashing the browser. When you use an etext template, how do you get at that file? Is it using the 'View Output' button on Request Form or do I have the option to send it somewhere directly (i.e. server or email)?
    Any tips would be appreciated.
    Edited by: Tam_11 on Jan 14, 2011 1:38 PM

    Hi,
    using etext, the text output will still be in the usual directory at $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT.
    The text output will be smaller than the XML output so I'd be surprised if it still crashes your browser so you shouldn't need to get the XML.
    What format is needed for the target system?
    Cheers

  • Podcasts App in iOS not Downloading New Episodes for Some Podcasts

    I am running version 2.2  (740) of the podcasts app in iOS 8.0.2
    Some of my podcasts are no longer updating, while some continue to work normally.
    If I navigate to My Podcasts > [Podcast Name] and then go into the feed tab, I cannot see any new episodes. However, If I unsubscribe and delete the podcast, then go search for it, I can see the new episodes. From here, I can even download individual episodes, but I cannot subscribe to the podcast. For some reason, the purple 'SUBSCRIBE' button does nothing when I tap it.
    Is there a way to reset the Podcasts app? Do I need to hard reset the phone?
    Thanks!

    Since no help was coming from Apple, I decided to try uninstalling 11.1.0.126 and then re-install the newly released version of iTunes for Windows, 11.1.1.11.
    The Refresh button now seems to work, and new podcast are being downloaded.

  • Hi- I am trying to download music to my ipod from my computer. I have an itunes account and the music is on my computer but won't download to the ipod. It is telling me I need to download software but for some reason the software won't download.

    Hi- I am trying to download music from my computer to my ipod. I have an itunes account and the music is on the computer but it won't go to ipod, it keeps telling me I need to download an upgrade but the upgrade does not complete itself and after like 2 hours displays an error sign. How do I fix this so I can get the music to my ipod. Both ipod and computer(toshiba, windows 7) are brand new. Help!! I am not technologically smart!

    I suspect that you are saying that you can't download/install the latest version of iTunes. 
    All I can say is try removing and reinstalling the Apple software using the following:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If you have further problems with installing Itunes I suggest you post in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.  Also report the wording of any error messages. What they say is importent on resolving them.

  • I cannot download to icloud for some reason can i bye icloud storage from itunes do not have a credit card

    It sounds like you are addressing Apple.  Unfortunately Apple does not participate in this forum, we are only users like you.
    And, I'm not sure what you mean by "add this to itunes".

  • IMac Yosemity. i have moved files to Photos but for some reason they are in different libraries.  How can I merge them?

    I have an iMac running on the latest Yosemite and have of course the new Photos.  I migrated my iPhotos files in to Photo but now find it is not the Systems Library where my new photos are going but still in an iPhotos Library.  How do I merge all my photos to the Photos System Library?

    I recently backed up all my photos
    How did you do this?
    These Unable to Import and Locked Library messages are common symptoms of a damaged database file. As iPhoto Library Manager is unable to rectify the situation you'll need to do a Manual Rebuild as described in this article
