Issues to use GUI_LOAD to download xls file

Hi Guru's, we are using the fm GUI_DOWNLOAD for downloading xls files to the physical system. We are facing following issues.
1. File contains the currency fields. When downloaded the file to desktop or any location after decimal zero's are not printing in currency field.
how to get zero's after decimals in the currency fields. Please let us know the solution if any.
2. If we click the open option under file tab on the opened xls file which is downloaded from SAP then one wizard popup is coming and prompting the user to click the 'FINISH' button.
Please let me know how to avoid this wizard popup.
Thanks in advance.

How to find process chain using background job in sm37

How to find process chain using background job in sm37

Better is to select the job.
Select (Define) Step (s) or F6.
Select the line and Menu Goto>Variant.
The variant contains the name of the CHAIN and its VARIANT.
Success
We faced an old job and via job monitoring we were informed about a cancelled job every 'interval'.
We noticed that the related chain was deleted but still the job was scheduled each interval again and was cancelled because an event was missing
We could not find the scheduled job via SM37.
Via view V_OP, view over tbtco abd tbtcp, we find the related entry.
We delete these entries via function BP_JOB_DELETE....

File path problem in background job spool

Hello ,
i have probelm in file path of the background job in spool.
i have selection screen
Radiobutton : p_local
parameter: path1.
Radibutton: p_applicatioserver
parameter: path2.
if i keep program in background job, it will alwas take second option.
Now user selected first option and executed job in abckground. File stored in the spplication server with corect file path name. (path2)
But when i go to sm37 entered job name and checked the spool, it gives me the file path name path1. but i need the file path1 in the background spool. my question whether i need to change the file path name in program or whether i have to change the setting
Regards,
zub

First of all, local is not an option in background job; you can only save to the apps server, and your program should take that into consideration by checking for sy-batch = 'X', for example. You should be checking in your at selection-screen to be sure the user has not chosen local path and file and background job.

Can ABAP proxy to consume WSDL file be run as background job for every10min

Hi all,
I have a requirement where I need to build an interface which gatheru2019s the purchase order details and send to external third party software in their required format (as an XML file).
So I should be the first point of contact and should trigger the interface each time a purchase order is generated.
So I am thinking that I should develop a background job for every 10 minutes which will look for new purchase orders and gathers the information of the purchase orders and send them to external third party software in their required format.
I have gone through all the SAP forums and e-Learning but still I have confusion in regards to how is it possible technically? Can some one guide me with some information on the same.
I have a little bit of confusion and want to know few things.
1)     Should I create a web service or should I consume a web service?
2)     If I need to consume a web service, then can I write an ABAP proxy to be run in background fro evry 10 minutes? I mean can we run ABAP proxy as a batch job in the background?
3)     Is there a difference between consuming an XML file and WSDL File?
Any Help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Jessica.

There are two options (as I know) to generate XML file.
1. Use XML TRANSFORMATION to get the XML string based your TRANSFORMATION. You can input your data and get back the XML string. Download this string to a file
Test XML generation program is:
types: begin of ty_data,
       num   type i,
       end   of ty_data.
DATA: itab TYPE standard table of ty_Data,
      la_data like line of itab,
      xmlstr TYPE string.
DO 3 TIMES.
la_data-num = sy-index.
APPEND la_data TO itab.
ENDDO.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np1
SOURCE table = itab
RESULT XML xmlstr.
CALL FUNCTION 'DISPLAY_XML_STRING'
EXPORTING xml_string = xmlstr.
My ZTEST_NP1 transformation. To create a transformation, click on the transformation in the "CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np1" statement. Select Simple transformation type.
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="table"/>
<tt:template>
    <table>
      <tt:loop ref=".table">
        <item>
          <tt:value ref="NUM"/>
        </item>
      </tt:loop>
    </table>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
XML string is like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<table>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
<item>3</item>
</table>
To use this option, you have to create a transformation and than use it to generate the XML string.
Check this SAP Help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e3/7d4719ca581441b6841f1054ff1326/frameset.htm
2. You can concatenate and create an XML string and download that string into a file.

If you are downloading a true xls file, then you cannot avoid the pop-ups and you will not be able to create it in the background as the EXCEL interface is not available to the backend. Your only option is to download it as tab or comma delimited.
Imagine it this way, excel is a user driven application that runs on the user's desktop and requires inputs from the user. The current mechanism of creating an excel file from SAP works on the same principle of user interaction. In the background, since there is no user interaction, it will not be possible.

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.

Saving spool request in PDF format using background job

Hi,
We have some important jobs which create spool requests. My requirement is to save those spool requests either on front end or on application server in pdf format. I tried with program RSTXPDF4 but i can save those files only when pdf conversion is done online and I want it to run in background as some of the spool request have more then 3000 pages and also i'm not looking for ABAP development.
It is fine with me to save it in text format but some of the spool request have around 3000 pages and i cannot save the whole request in one shot using option system->list->save->local file
It is appreciated if someone has any alternative for the above one.
Regards,
Chaitanya

Hi,
Just check Is it solve your purpose... When you are creating background jobs mention your email / user id as spool list recipient...
I think you will recv. the spool output in the mailbox in pdf

"Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
Window 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
Hope it's helpful.

Downloading xls file

i want to download the .xls file into the application server they give me
this path :- /USER/REPORTS/MM
i hv used "ws_download " function.
but the errot is that " Error in Downloading the file "
plz this prob argently ?

Hi,
for that you have to use dataset.
Refer this code.
*-- Concatenate the file path retrived from the function module
with additonal directory 'mm/ptpi006/in/' and pass it to a
variable.
CONCATENATE lv_fname c_const INTO pv_input_file.
CONCATENATE lv_fname c_const pv_flext INTO lv_file.
lv_dsn = lv_file.
*-- Open Dataset
OPEN DATASET lv_dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
File not found
    MESSAGE e503.
ELSE.
Read each line from the dataset and append to an internal table.
    DO.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
No records found in the file.
        MESSAGE e504.
      ENDIF.
*-- Read dataset and pass it to an internal table.
      READ DATASET lv_dsn INTO lv_line.
      CLEAR wa_eord.
      wa_eord-matnr = lv_line+0(18).
      wa_eord-werks = lv_line+18(4).
      wa_eord-vdatu = lv_line+22(8).
      wa_eord-bdatu = lv_line+30(8).
      wa_eord-lifnr = lv_line+38(10).
      wa_eord-ekorg = lv_line+48(4).
      wa_eord-meins = lv_line+52(3).
      wa_eord-autet = lv_line+55(1).
      wa_eord-feskz = lv_line+56(1).
      IF NOT wa_eord IS INITIAL.
        APPEND wa_eord TO pr_eord.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
*-- Close Dataset .
    CLOSE DATASET lv_dsn.

Setting up archive delete functionalities using background job

Hi,
Through SARA transaction there we can set up a archive delete job by selecting the files, job timing details. Instead of this, we want to set up this functionality using a background job as per the variant and timing requirements.
Is there any option to set up a background job of archive delete functionality by selecting the files through a program or function moduel. Please suggest me if anyone has done this in previous.
Thanks,
Siva

Hello,
Take a look at OSS note 205585 which describes how to schedule archive delete jobs indirectly using program RSARCHD.
Hope this helps.

Trying to download xls file with IE7 but browser tries to download as htm

Hi!
I have got a problem with downloading files using a hyperlink.
I've got a hyperlink and i did set the url property to: /resources/file.xls
when using IE7 and clicking Save As... the save as dialog appears and suggests file.htm as the filename and the file typ is shown as: HTML Document
Firefox works fine, it suggests file.xls and the type as: Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet
Next i typed in the url of the resource folder: http://localhost:29080/myProject/resources/
The file was shown as file.xls in the directoy listing, but when i tried to download the file from here, both browsers behaved the same way as before.
gif-files and others worked fine in both browsers.
Does anyone have an idea?
greets,
Remi

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Issue in downloading the file to application server (background)

i am downloading the PIR records to the application server.
the program is running fine .
i m using background coz i m downloading large no of records (>5000)
my actually target is 28000 records. we are spliting it up into atleast 7000 records at a time.
for 1000 records , it is taking     217 secs        (this is fine)
for 2000 records , it is taking    1647 secs        (not satisfactory)
for 5130 records , it is crossed more than 10647 secs   still running (not acceptabe)
why is it increasing in expotenial of time for increase in the records
why not ~1000 sec for 5130 records...??
somebody help me , the hav check the extended check and fine tuned the code.
it is a modification of standard program RM06IBIE for download of PIR records.
regards
venkat.

Hi,
It is definitely because of the poor performace in the code only.
Try using, FOR ALL ENTRIES, SORT BY key fields, DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES from the internal table COMPARING key fields, etc.
If you have already used all the possible ones, then check the table from which it is picking the data.
Whether they are using the primary key fields in the where condition, if they are using some other fields, then go for an option of secondary index if required.

Santhosh.
