Download excel file template on desktop

Hi all,
I am working on a requirement in which I am creating an excel file template on the user's system on the click of a pushbutton. The path of the file has to be given by user in an input/output field provided.
Now the user can enter this path manually or through F4 help. I want to put a check on this path such that it should exist in the user's system.
I am using MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT
FM for creating an excel file template.
How to check that?
Regards
Natasha Garg

URL Link on downloaded Excel File

Hi,
I have got a requirement.
For study and analysis purpose user download data on excel file from OCOD. Struture(Contents) of downloaded excel file is same as screen.
But the problem is when user click on 'DETAIL' (which has URL link) he/she is directed to Live OCOD and asked for log in with ID and Password, even if
user is logged in OCOD.
What i want to do is.
1) Download Excel file without any URL link.
2) If 1) is not possible then do not want to have 'DETAIL' option of downloded file.
3) Method for avoiding relog into OCOD.
Thanks in Advance

Can't open Excel files saved to desktop, get popup "There was a problem sending command to the program".

Whenever I save an MS Excel file to my desktop, it creates an icon on the screen. But when I try to open it, I get a popup that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
This happens with all Excel files - but MS Word and other files work fine.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, I saw that earlier but it seems to be a temporary fix. I had the same issue return 2 weeks ago, then again yesterday. Each time, I've tried this solution which works but only to see it return at some time in the near future.
Coincidently, I have a similar issue occur on my iPhone 4S w/ iOS 6. There, my keyboard shortcuts won't work in forms unless I tick off Data and Documents iCloud setting, power down the phone, then turn it back on. But like this, it only seems to work for a temporary time and the problem resurfaces in a few days.

In SAP Webdynpro using ABAP,how to colour the downloaded excel file?

Hi all Experts'
I have downloaded the data from the webdynpro application into an excel file in the presentation server using a custom button in a layout of a view in the webdynpro component.
Now the requirement is to colour the column heading names and the downloaded excel file should show the full column length.
Could anybody help me on this how to do this two things.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can use this function GUI_EXEC.
Let say you want to use winzip to zip the file then what you should do like this:
use this command --> ' -min -a D:\WALCOTT.ZIP D:\MBARANG.TXT'
D:\MBARANG.TXT --> path to the file you want to Zip
D:\WALCOTT.ZIP --> result zip file
The command above is depends on the software you use to zip.
then
DATA: cmdguiexec(150).
cmdguiexec = cmd.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_EXEC'
EXPORTING
command = cmdguiexec.
Hope this help you.
Best Regards,
Victor.

Download Excel file from from a second server

Hi,
In our Java based web application (jsp pages) users need to download Excel files stored on a different server (business tier) than the first application server server that hosts only the presentation tier.
For security reasons users don't access the second application server. From a technical point of view what's the best solution to answer this requirement ? The logic should be the following: the user clicks on a report name that is displayed on this browser, the request is sent to the first application server that will retrieve the report stored on a second server and will return it to the user.
Thanks a lot.

it's been a while since i've done ejb stuff, but i believe you can configure an ejb to "runas" a different user. so, you would configure an ejb on the accessible server to "runas" a user who has access to the secondary server.

Filename of downloaded Excel file

I frequently download Excel files from a website that seems for the most part windows centric. These excel files have an extension of .xls, I can double click them to open, but when opened they just have the file name of WORKSHEET. If I rename the file in the finder the same thing happens. If I try to open the file in numbers I get something like
<table border="1">


<tr><td colspan = "15" valign="middle" align="center">Investor's Business Daily 100</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan = "15" valign="middle" align="center">Data as of 8/1/2008 market close</td></tr>
Any idea? Now I have to open the file in excel, then do a save as, type in the file name (if I don't want WORKBOOK), then delete (or write over) the original file. What can I tell the website people?

Hello ,
In my procedure i am passing id and with the help of that id , ia am fetching values from the database.
i have declared on clob type variable say v_insert where i am storing table structure(like worksheet) which i need on excel
example
v_insert := v_insert||'<tr>';
v_insert := v_insert||'<td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td><b>Column1_Value</b></td> <td>abc</td>';
v_insert := v_insert||'</tr>';then i am converting that clob into blob and storing the content into BLOB type variable say v_blob
below is the code used for downloding the blob content.

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

Where are the Download Excel Files going?

Safari 6 seems to download Excel files as requested from a web site but they do not appear anywhere in the Download Folder I have specified. The site successfully downloaded the files before I upgraded to Safari 6. I now have to switch to Firefox to download these files. Where are they going?

How to download Excel file in JSP Page

Actually I have a page
Where I am uploading the files to server and it is listing the files which are all uploaded to the server.
If I try to click the file which is uploaded it has to download to the local system.
DOC, TXT, PDF, PPT. These file formats are try to download to local. But Excel file, opening the file content only not downloading to local.
Any solution

Hi Bangalore:
As my experience,there may be some symbol such as "\r\n" was added in the content of the Excel file you want to download. this is no porblems to text format file, but to binary format file, such file can not be open. So I suggest you check-up the content of the file befor it was writed to the client, remove unwanted symbol, it should be word!
I'm a newer to the here , and my english is poor. I thirst for intercommunion, I'm sorry for the syntax error in my reply.

Download Excel file through Web dynpro with no windows open?

Can we have a web dynpro application that just returns an Excel file in the response with no open windows? Similar to a java servlet that is used to download a Excel file?
This basically means that I cannot use wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow()
Java Servlet Code
HttpSession session = request.getSession();      // get a handle on the session id
response.setContentType("application/download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=RTIS_Report.xls");
PrintWriter out = null;
out = response.getWriter();
String report = request.getParameter("REPORT");
JCO.Table lines = download(request, session, report);
for (int i = 0; i < lines.getNumRows(); i++) {
     lines.setRow(i);
     String content = lines.getString("LINES") + "\n";
     out.write(content);
     out.flush();
out.flush();
out.close();

Hi,
I think you can use IWD Cached Web Resource to achieve this..
See the below code FYI..
public void downloadToExcel( )
    String fileName = "Customer" + ".xls";
     IWDCachedWebResource cachedExcelResource = null;
     try
          File f = new File("Customer.xls");
          WritableWorkbook workbook =   Workbook.createWorkbook(f);
          WritableFont black = new WritableFont(WritableFont.createFont("Trebuchet MS"),WritableFont.DEFAULT_POINT_SIZE,WritableFont.BOLD,false,UnderlineStyle.SINGLE,Colour.BLACK);
          WritableCellFormat blackFormat = new WritableCellFormat(black);
          WritableFont blue = new WritableFont(WritableFont.createFont("Trebuchet MS"),WritableFont.DEFAULT_POINT_SIZE,WritableFont.NO_BOLD,false,UnderlineStyle.NO_UNDERLINE,Colour.BLUE);
          WritableCellFormat blueFormat = new WritableCellFormat(blue);
          WritableSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Customer", 0);
               Label label;
               String[] header={"Corporate Code","Batch ID"};
               for (int i=0;i<2;i++)
                    label = new Label(i,0,header<i>.toString(),blackFormat);
                    sheet.addCell(label);
               WritableCellFormat integerFormat = new WritableCellFormat(NumberFormats.INTEGER);
               jxl.write.Number number;
               // Reading the contents
               for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeVn_DownloadToExcel().size();i++)
                    String strCorpName = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_CorpCode();
                    String strBatchID =     wdContext.nodeVn_DownloadToExcel().getVn_DownloadToExcelElementAt(i).getVa_BatchID();
                    label = new Label(0,i+1,strCorpName,blueFormat);
                    sheet.addCell(label);
                    label = new Label(1,i+1,strBatchID,blueFormat);
                    sheet.addCell(label);
               workbook.setColourRGB(Colour.LIME, 0xff, 0, 0);
               workbook.write();
               FileInputStream excelCSVFile = new FileInputStream(f);
               IWDCachedWebResource cachedWebResource = null;
               if (excelCSVFile!= null)
                    cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(excelCSVFile, WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceType("xls","application/ms-excel"));
               cachedWebResource.setResourceName(fileName);
          cachedExcelResource = cachedWebResource;

Download excel file to PC in background

Hi All,
I need to write a report to local PC as an excel file. The program is working fine in foreground using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download. However since the report data is very large, when the user runs the program in foreground, it always gets timeout. So it has to be run in background. I did a lot of research and tried the example posted here as well: http://abapblog.com/articles/tricks/33-create-xlsx-mhtml-file-from-internal-table-in-background
But I am still not successful. I am getting ""control_flush_error". Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Meiying

Hi ,
cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download is for front end if you use this for background job scheduling it will throw dump !!
so the solution is write a program to download the file to application server using
'OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE'
and from there you can get the file.
there is no way that you can schedule a program in background and store it on local PC.

Strange: When download excel file from Apex, it ask XDB username/password.

Hi
I'm using Apex 4.0.1 on Oracle 10.2.0.3, I have a application where end user can upload some file(excel/PDF/Word) as an attachment and later on they will download. Everything is fine but one thing:
When User press the download button, a popup window asking you whether you want to open it or save it. when it's PDF/Word file, all works fine no matter what you choose; but when it's an Excel file, if we try to open it(press the open), it will popup a window saying 'XDB need a username and password'. But if you ingore it, it did open the file without any issue; If user press Save button, no issue at all.
So the app still work but it's kind of annoying..
Any one seen this before? Any idea?
Thanks
Mike

You should open the excel file in binary mode, in that case, no errors will occur.
Also, there is a very good package located on
http://stareyes.homeip.net:8888/. It's free. The only thing is the server open
for a certain hours during the weekday. 11:00amp to 7:00pm New York time zone.
