Download to Excel In the Background

Hi,
Our SAP server is in Windows operating system. Is it possible to download data in Excel file in the background mode?
Thanks
Lokman

1) One way is, using GUI_DOWNLOAD from your program and haedcoding the path to which it should be downloaded.
2) Check the link below for downloading excel in background... A demo program is also available.

Download to multiple sheet excel in the background

Hi,
I am trying to download data into multiple excel sheets in the background. I was able to create comma delimited csv file in the server, which can be opened as excel file. This is good when it does not have more that one worksheets.
I have three internal table and to send these internal tables in different worksheets in the same excel file.
Is it possible to have multiple sheets excel file from the csv file?
Thanks,
Lokman

Urget::How to download in excel format in Background

hi,
i was using GUI_DOWNLOAD in a program to download into excel format. but now the user wants to run this in background mode .But gui_download doesn't support the background .can u suggest me any other way to download in background mode into excel format.
it's urgent .please help.
Thanks in advance .

Hi Rasmi,
In background you can only download it to application server and not on your PC.
If its ok then you can use OPEN DATASET....CLOSE DATASET to do that.
Once its downloaded to Application server you can download that into your PC.
Hope This helps you.
Thanks,

Downloading into excel file , the is alignment is out

The reports when downloading into excel file is not what we usually getting. The alignment is out.

Hi Basavaraj,
When you are creating dynamic internal table(itab1) and fields of internal table, at the same time in the same way create one more internal table(itab2) resrict this up to 10 columns.
now
DATA : num type i,
       FNAME(255) TYPE C
           VALUE '/data/sapdata/filename'.
CONSTANTS : C_COMMA TYPE C VALUE ','.
DATA : BEGIN OF I_DISPLAY OCCURS 0,
        REC(400),
       END OF I_DISPLAY.
loop at itab1
num = num + 1.
if num le 100.
   move-corresponding fields to itab2
else.
    exit.
endif.
endloop.
Give column headings
        itab2-col1 = 'name1'
        itab2-col2 = 'name2'
        itab2-col3 = 'name3'
        itab2-col4 = 'name4'

Downloading Document Files in the Background

Hello,
I have two questions regarding downloading document files to a Windows server in the background.
First Question:
My company is currently on SAP R/3 4.6B. We have several programs that use function module WS_DOWNLOAD to download documents to a Windows directory (C drive, network server, etc.). However, WS_DOWNLOAD will only work when run in the foreground, since there is no connection to the presentation server when run in the background. Our work around for this has been to create a UNIX file and then FTP it to the Windows server, which can all be done in the background. Is there another way to download directly from SAP to a Windows server in the background with 4.6B.
Second Question:
We have an upgrade to mySAP ERP 2004 scheduled in the near future. Is it possible to do what I've asked above in mySAP ERP 2004?
Thanks,
Jamey

for your first question
Well you can do it in two ways.
1: instead of using FTP from unix, you can use it from within SAP using ftp function modules. for durther details and examples you can check development class SFTP in se80 for function modules and demo programs.
The advantage of this technique is that if FTP fails for some reason, you abap code can generate a proper error message or log so that user can see that file is not transfered.
2: you can run sap supplied program RFCEXEC.exe on your windows server thus making it as an RFC server, that create an RFC destination pointing to this server in SAP (Transaction code SM59) and use this destination to call RFC function modules to create a file on destination from an internal table. you can use the RFC function RFC_REMOTE_FILE
example: your data is in table outtab
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_FILE'
 DESTINATION p_dest
 EXPORTING
 file = file
 write = write
 TABLES
 filedata = outtab
 EXCEPTIONS
 communication_failure = 1 MESSAGE msg_text
 system_failure = 2 MESSAGE msg_text.

Does the "auto-download" feature run in the background?

I would like new episodes to download automatically in the middle of the night or early morning, without opening the app or refreshing anything. So then, on way to work, the new episodes are already downloaded first time I open up the iPad on train. I've heard about 3rd party apps that do allow for this. True? Thanks for the help!

But did you test it so that it downloaded it automatically or did you force the download by clicking the button in the application?
The 3G and Wifi switch so far as I'm aware only effects auto downloads, etc.

Why is the spreadsheet empty when users download to Excel from ALV grid?

Users are seeing SAP GUI transaction results display in the ALV Grid when running an SAP Report; however, when they click the Download to Excel icon the spreadsheet is empty. When they use List...Export...Spreadsheet, the spreadsheet is filled.
This seems to only be happening with 'Z' transactions. Standard delivered transactions are OK.

Hi All,
I also have same Problem I my case when i click on 'Microsoft Excel' it does nothing. It does not even open a sheet.
Please suggest,

Downloading podcasts in the background causes iTunes to become unresponsive

This problem with iTunes downloading podcasts in the background is causing me fits in my well-behaved, rock-solid iMac environment.
Inevitably, while iTunes is automatically downloading one of my subscribed podcasts, iTunes will become unresponsive and freeze. This requires me to Force Quit iTunes, causing file system errors that need to be repaired with Disk Utility. The file system errors usually consist of these:
"Missing thread record"
"Incorrect number of thread records"
"Invalid volume file count"
"Missing directory record ID"
Luckily, Disk Utility can recover the damage without me losing any data. But it chaffs me to no end that I have to shut down my iMac, reboot with my SL DVD, dig up my wireless Mighty Mouse (since the SL DVD doesn't load drivers for my Magic Trackpad), repair my boot disk, reboot, then endure several minutes of "Checking the iTunes library" when I start up iTunes again. Not including the significant time it takes for me to re-establish my working environment.
The reason why I know it's a podcast that's causing the problem is that as soon as iTunes starts up, the podcast resumes downloading. I've never had iTunes freeze on me while downloading a podcast while I had iTunes in focus. This problem only occurs when iTunes is downloading a podcast in the background. I've checked the log, and the only messages I'm getting is from Automator saying that some actions are not compatible with my current version of iTunes.
This problem occurs with iTunes 10.0.1, but I've had it happen with iTunes 9.x . My iTunes library is on a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+, accessed by my iMac via 802.11n on my Airport Extreme.
Is anyone else experiencing freezes or beachballs when downloading podcasts? I'm about ready to shut off auto-download and just do it manually (in fact, I'm surprised that I haven't done this already ).

iTunes froze again while an podcast was being downloaded (in the Dock, the iTunes icon says "Force Quit"). I waited 10 minutes for iTunes to become responsive again, but it didn't. I tried Cmd-tab to the iTunes window, but it wouldn't come up. I was ready to Force Quit and repair my HD again, when I decided to try one more thing.
I used Expose to show all the open windows, then picked the frozen iTunes window. Doing this showed the window (why Cmd-tab wouldn't, I don't know), where it listed the partially downloaded podcast in the activity bar. I then went to get my SL DVD. When I got back, iTunes was unfrozen and the podcast download had completed!
I have no idea why the podcast wouldn't download while iTunes was hidden, and why Cmd-tab wouldn't restore the iTunes session to activity. But now I know that Expose can wake iTunes from the dead, preventing me from killing iTunes with the inevitable HD corruption.

Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox update window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windowns, then choose to install, it uses this extra time to estimate the download?

Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox UPDATE window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windows, then choose to download update, it uses this extra time to estimate the download? (Mine said, 12 Hours to start with, but took under 2 minutes!)
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== When you install update to 3.6.4 (Possibly for every update?)

The download should happen in the background (before you get an update window). I wonder why that didn't happen for you...\
Did you manually check for updates?

Reg: ALV output download using excel option

Hi Team,
I created a report using ALV Function modules, I want to download in Excel sheet the output list. i am trying to download but i am not getting proper values. I am populating around 50 fileds.
is there any settings for these download.
<<removed by moderator>>
Thanks & Regards,
Mahendar patha.

hi mahendra;
use this step-by-step procedure it will help u a lot:
Firstly export the data to memory using the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = t_listobject
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE e000(su) WITH text-001.
ENDIF.
then i converted it into ASCII using LIST_TO_ASCI,
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
TABLES
listasci = t_xlstab
listobject = t_listobject
EXCEPTIONS
empty_list = 1
list_index_invalid = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
MESSAGE e003(yuksdbfzs).
ENDIF.
This gives the data in ASCII format separated by '|' and the header has '-', dashes. If you use this internal table directly without any proccesing in SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, then you will not get a good excel sheet attachment. To overcome this limitation, i used cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline and cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab to add horizontal and vertical tabs to the internal table, replacing all occurences of '|' with
cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
Set the doc_type as 'XLS', create the body and header using the packing_list and pass the data to be downloaded to SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as contents_bin.
This will create an excel attachment.
Sample code for formatting the data for the attachment in excel format.
u2022 Format the data for excel file download
LOOP AT t_xlstab INTO wa_xlstab .
DESCRIBE TABLE t_xlstab LINES lw_cnt.
CLEAR lw_sytabix.
lw_sytabix = sy-tabix.
u2022 If not new line then replace '|' by tabs
IF NOT wa_xlstab EQ cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '|' IN wa_xlstab
WITH cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
MODIFY t_xlstab FROM wa_xlstab .
CLEAR wa_xlstab.
wa_xlstab = cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.
IF lw_cnt NE 0 .
lw_sytabix = lw_sytabix + 1.
u2022 Insert new line for the excel data
INSERT wa_xlstab INTO t_xlstab INDEX lw_sytabix.
lw_cnt = lw_cnt - 1.
ENDIF.
CLEAR wa_xlstab.
ENDIF.

Download to Excel not working in Transaction iview in Quality

Dear All,
I have a transaction iview in EP Quality Server which is transported from the development Server.This iview represents a transaction which displays some data (report output) and has an button for download to excel. The problem is that the ALV download functionality is working fine in the EP development Server's iview but I am not able to download from EP Quality though the output of the report is coming fine.
Awaiting for the reply.
Regards,
Samir

Hi,
Try it once in laptop instead of desktop.
May be the screen resolution or some thing is causing this,because I have encountered the issue previously.
Create new iview in quality and try.Do you activate the transaction in SICF if it is custom one.
Thanks and Regards,
gopal.sattiraju

ALV / Download to Excel - columns transposed

A developer on my team has this problem:
We have a ALV report that gives the user the option to download to excel.
The report has columns.
A,B,C,D (for example)
but when the user exports to excel ("List > Export > Spreadsheet > Table")
they get
A, C, B, D
Dose anyone know why this happens? We have checked various sites and found OSS note 358644.
Are we on the right track? Or is there an easy answer to this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kyle,
I too faced the same problem lon back. But what we
found is for currency, date and amount fields it is
moving to last.
You also checl the standard program BCALV_GRID_01.

Hi friends, Problems with Special Characters in Table download to Excel.

Hi friends,
I am using Binary Cache method to download to excel. The problem is that there are certain fields in the back end R/3 that has special characters in it eg : & * £ # etc.
As a result, the download is not working for these rows. Please can any of you tell me how to get rid of this. As an example let's say I wan to replace the "&" with "and".
Please help.
Thank You.

public void ReplaceMethod( )
 //@@begin ReplaceMethod()
 // get the string value of the cell (for you from the table cell, for eg, Pinki & Rakesh)
 test = wdContext.currentTestStringConversionElement().getInput();
 // calculate the total length of the String
 n=test.length ();
 if(n!=0)
 for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
// catching each character from the String
 c = test.charAt (i-1);
 // checking if any character within the String (eg, Pinki & Rakesh) is &
 if (c=='&')
 wdContext.currentTestStringConversionElement().setOutput(Character.toString(c));
 no=i;
 break;
 String val = Integer.toString(no);
 //wdContext.currentTestStringConversionElement().setNo(val);
 // breaking the String and adding and in place of &
 sub1= test.substring(0,i-1);
 sub2= " and ";
 sub3= test.substring(i,n);
 //Concatenating the String
 test1 = sub1sub2sub3;
 //Printing the String
 wdContext.currentTestStringConversionElement().setOutput(test1);
