Downloading a file from SAP (tcode FDTA) onto the disk drive of the server

Hi,
We are using the transaction FDTA to download a file to the server. This server is the same one on which the SAP system is hosted the download we have to specify the destination path as
server1\folder1\filename.txt.
The file is downloaded successfully every time.But we need to know which userID was used by SAP to download the file. For this we have switched on the Windows feature of Auditing. This gives us the username which has created the file on the drive.
Here it gets complicated, as each time we see a different username. Sometimes it is the user using which we logged on to the windows OS (terminal server from where we fire the sap logon pad) and other times it shows the user as sidadm.
We need to know how this file transfer process takes place or if there is someway we can ensure that only one userID is always associated with the file download.
Regards,
Rohan.

Hi,
Thank you Markus and BAIGSA. But the user that i see associated with the file (we get this information via Windows auditing) is the user which is used to login to the terminal server.
Now to explain in detail we first login to the terminal server with domain user ID (userA for e.g.). From there we are able to access the SAP R/3 as well as the OS of the SAP systems. So after I login to this terminal server I open the SAP logon pad and logon to the SAP system from where I fire the tcode FDTA mentioned above.
It seems the user I used to logon to the terminal server (userA) is associated with the file (as seen in Windows auditing) and not the sidadm or the SAPserviceSID user.
Is this happening only because I am using a terminal server to hop onto the SAP system?
Regards,
Rohan.

How do I download documents/files from a memory stick onto my MacBook Pro into organised folders

How do I download documents/files from a memory stick on to my MacBook Pro and organise in to Folders?

Hi RockingRon,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The Finder application on your Mac is what you need to organize and manage files. The link below will explain how to use it. See item #8 - your memory stick will appear in the Devices section of the Sidebar on the left.
Mac Basics: The Finder
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
Mac Basics: Applications, files, and folders (OS X Lion)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2476
Organizing files and folders
If you want to add more folders to set up an organizational scheme, here's how to create a new folder:
Make the Finder active (click the desktop, click inside any Finder window, or click the Finder icon in the Dock).
From the File menu, choose New Folder; a new "untitled folder" icon appears in the active Finder window.
Name your folder by simply typing a name in the highlighted text box next to the folder icon.
Or, you can simply press the Shift-Command-N key combination.
To organize your files and folders, drag any file, folder, or application that you want into your new folder, or drag the folder into any other folder to establish an organized hierarchy.

How do I restore from time machine backup onto unmounted disk drive "disk0s2?" :-(

In trying to restore my MacBook Pro after a strange freeze, I seemed to have unmounted the main disk drive. So, I have no drive on which to restore my computer using my time machine backup. What do I do now???

Give this a try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
See if you are able to get the partition to mount. If not select the Terminal from the Utiilities menu. At the prompt enter:
sudo mount disk0s1
Press RETURN and authenticate. Your password will not be echoed. Press RETURN again. I'm assuming you have a disk with one partition. If that's not correct, then do not use the above command.

Cannot copy some files from my mac to any external disk whatever format the disk might be in

i sometimes face trouble copying some large movies for example to an external drive, i use a section of this drive for time machine and the other for back up... but at times some movies cannot be copied an error occurs and the operation stops... please somebody help me, ive checked everything the files arent locked or passwprd protected... i can cut and paste them around different part of the internal drive but when i try moving it to an externl drive thats when the error occurs...

The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0).

Regarding download of files from SAP Web AS to mobile device

Hi,
We are writing an asset management application where we need to download files related to work order.
Each work order has some help files which need to be accessed while working on the work order.
Is such a file download possible in SAP Mi.
Regards
Raja Sekhar

hi Raja,
these applications are made for Laptops (for now atleast). they might support/release these applications for other hand held devices also.
i checked on the Mobile Time and Travel. they run only on Laptops. the support for others are not mentioned in the installation & configuration documents that accompany these downloads.
i believe in one of the posts in this forum, a fellow developer was trying to see if MAM was working on a PDA. Check out this Regarding applying patch for MI 2.5 SP14 on MI 2.5 SP13 client.
hope this helps!

What is the easiest way to download a document from SAP DMS with C#?

Hi,
I've been sifting through this forum and looked at various posts and sample code, but so far my quest hasn't been fruitful.
What is the easiest way to download a physical document file from SAP DMS using C#? I'm using the NCo 3 (SAP .NET
Connector 3).
Requirements
- As few dependencies as possible (not adding or changing functionality in SAP)
- C# code (MS Visual Studio 2012)
- SAP Environment: NetWeaver 7.4.0
Thanks for all help.
Regards,
Frank

We've been using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUT2, but there seems to be a limitation. From what I've found on Google, you must enable the use of the SAPGUI through the flag UseSAPGUI when connecting to SAP. It works, but my issue is that when I use it on a web server, I end up with some error when trying to start the GUI. There is very little recent information for this out there right now.

I am having trouble downloading zip files from an e-mail to Firefox and want to know if Firefox is where I should be downloading the zip file.

I have never downloaded a file from an e-mail, so I am "dancing in the dark" on this. When I download the file from the e-mail, I cannot determine what support engine I should place it in. One choice given me was Microsoft Work Words but when I select it, I can go no further.

I have the same configuration:
10.7.2 Aperture 3.2.2
When I drag an image from one project to another it just moves to the other project - no special preference settings required.
If there are several versions of the same image, all versions go along with the image.
If the images are stacked, all versions and all of the stack move to the new project.
Only if images are synched with other services, iCloud, MobileMe then occasionally they appear again in their original albums. Are your images part of synched albums?

Downloaded file from SAP to excel 2007(*.xlsx, *.xlsm) - unable to open

Hi All,
I am downloading a data from SAP to excel(*.xlsx) format. I am able to conver/download the file in *.xlsx format, but if try to open the downloaded excel file, it gives teh error message 'Excel cannot open the file 'filename.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'. with a OK button. When I press the OK button, no data is displayed.
So kindly let me know how to download the file from SAP to *.xlsx format without any errors.
Note: I am able to download the data in *.xls format without any erros.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Vijay

Hi,
You are probably not being able to open the file of .XLSX format because you do not have Microsoft Office 2007 installed on your system. You might be having a lower version of Microsoft Office. e.g. 2003.
What you can do is, before opening the .XLSX file directly on a system which does not have Microsoft Office 2007, you can convert it into .XLS format and then open the same.
See the below code.
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_COPY
EXPORTING
    SOURCE               = 'C:\Users\Danish\Desktop\test1.xlsx'

How to transfer file from sap server to PDM server using open FT??

Hello Sap Guru's
I want to Trasfer a file with all supplier information from SAP server to PDM server(Thirdparty) system Using Open FT ..How can I transfer ???
Please let me know the answer??
Thanks In Advance
Preethi

Hi Preethi,
I think it is not possible to transfer a file from SAP to PDM using open FT.
Using RFCs, we can do the transfer.
Other option is the file can be downloaded into UNIX. And from there using a shellscript we can transfer the file from UNIX to PDM or if your PDM has the option to grab the file from UNIX that will also work.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if helpful.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Thanks in Advance

Hi,
For file down load u have to use a UI element as "File download".
u just create context attribute as setdownload_res and file data.
setdownload_res as of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Resource" then bound it to the ui element "resource".
file data as of type "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDInputStream"
and set calcuclated as true and read only as true.
then in doinit method u just write this code
IWDAttributePointer attr = wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributePointer("fileData");
IWDResource res = WDResourceFactory.createResource(attr,null,WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setDownload_res(res);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(""+c);
after this in the getter method u write this code
IWDInputStream stream = null;
try
stream = WDResourceFactory.createInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("<pathof the file to be download>")));
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return stream;
also look at this thread How to DownLoad any type of File from the server(PDF,XLS,Word)

Print Jpeg files from SAP

Hi,
We have JPEG files (pictures) stored in Custom Z table (Cluster table). We would like to know how to print these files from SAP on to a certain printer.
We know that it is not possible to convert JPEG to BMP within SAP and print using SAPScript OR SmartForms.
We want to find out if there is any print command to print these files to SAP printer ?
Any help is appreciated.
Niranjan

Hi Gregory,
I had checked this tcode earlier. However, I don't see any 'Print' jpeg or any other file functionality here. What SAP might be doing here is, allow upload of any document like excel, word or pic files (jpeg, gihf, bmp) and so on and just display.
I am interested in printing functionality without usng SAP Script OR Smartforms, because, when we get into it, we have to talk only TIF or BMP as JPGs are not supported.

DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in downloaded txt file from UNIX?

Hi Experts,
Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
Am doing every thing same in both cases.
So,
1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
thanq

Its there, I am talking abut this -
OPEN DATASET - linefeed
Syntax
... WITH { NATIVE
         | SMART
         | UNIX
         | WINDOWS } LINEFEED ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
2. ... WITH SMART LINEFEED
3. ... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
4. ... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: These additions determine which line end marker is used for text files or legacy text files. If these additions are used, the profile parameter abap/NTfmode is ignored. Simultaneous specification of the values "UNIX" or "NT" in the addition TYPE is not permitted.
If these additions are not used, the line end marker is determined as follows, depending on the operating system of the current application server:
The line end marker for Unix is "LF". Under Unix, OS390 and OS400, only "LF" is used for reading and writing.
The line end marker for MS Windows is "CRLF". Under MS Windows, however, the values of the profile parameter abap/NTfmode can also be used to set whether new files are handled according to Unix conventions or Windows conventions. If the profile parameter has the value "b", the Unix line end marker "LF" is used. If the profile parameter has the value "t" or is initial, the Windows line end marker "CRLF" is used. The setting using the profile parameter can be overridden with the addition TYPE and the value "UNIX" or "NT". If an existing file is opened without the addition TYPE, this is searched for the first line end marker ("LF" or "CRLF"), and this is used for the whole file. If no line end marker is found, the profile parameter is used. This applies particularly if an existing file is completely overwritten with FOR OUTPUT.
If an addition WITH NATIVE|SMART|UNIX|WINDOWS LINEFEED is used, this setting can be changed for the open file using the statement SET DATASET. If neither of the additions is used, the line end marker also cannot be changed using SET DATASET.
Notes
: Without the use of an addition WITH LINEFEED, the line end marker is dependent on diverse implicit factors such as the operating system of the application server, a profile parameter, and line end markings that are already used. For this reason, the explicit use of WITH LINEFEED is recommended, which renders the use of the addition TYPE for setting the line end marker obsolete.
The line end marker that is currently used can be determined for every open file using GET DATASET.
Alternative 1
... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition defines the line end marker independently of the access type according to the operating system of the application server, i.e. "LF" for Unix OS390 or OS400, and "CRLF" for MS Windows.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current codepage. If a code page is explicitly specified using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must exist be available or be written in accordance with this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED is intended for editing files on an application server that can also be accessed by other means. The addition receives the appropriate line end marker without the program needing to know the operating system.
Alternative 2
... WITH SMART LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition depends on the access type:
In files that are opened for reading using FOR INPUT, both "LF" and "CRLF are interpreted as a line end marker. When opening an EBCDIC file with the addition CODEPAGE, in addition to "LF", "CRLF", and the EBCDIC character strings, the corresponding ASCII character strings are also recognized. In addition, the EBCDIC character "NL" (line separator) is also interpreted as a line end marker.
In files opened for appending or changing with FOR APPENDING or FOR UPDATE, the program searches for a line end marker that is already used in the file. In this process, first the end of the file is identified. If no line end marker is found there, a certain number of characters at the beginning is analyzed. If a line end marker is found, this is used when writing to the file. This is also affected by the addition CODE PAGE. For example, ASCII line end markers are recognized and used in a file opened with EBCDIC, but not the other way round. If no line end marker is found or no search is possible (for example, if the file is opened with the addition FILTER), the line end marker is determined according to the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
In files opened for writing using FOR OUTPUT, the line end marker is determined according the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
Note
: The addition WITH SMART LINEFEED is intended for the generic editing of files in heterogeneous environments. The line end marker is recognized and set for different formats. The use of this addition is the best solution for most application cases.
Alternative 3
... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "LF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available or be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH UNIX LINEFEED is intended for editing Unix files in which the specific line end markers are to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is MS Windows.
Alternative 4
... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "CRLF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available and be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED is intended for use with MS Windows files in which the specific line end marker is to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is Unix, OS390 or OS400.

Downloading files from PC to Mac via external hard drive

I have already downloaded the files from my PC to an external hard drive. I have connected that external hard drive to my iMac and am attempting to bring those files onto my iMac, but don't know how. Can anyone help? I have it connected, but it seems to be showing up at my Time Machine Backup and I can locate any of the files from my PC.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
here are several ways to migrate your PC files http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518
but it seems to be showing up at my Time Machine Backup and I can locate any of the files from my PC
I am not sure if I understand that one correctly.
Does your external harddisk comes up as a Time Machine backup in OSX ?
Or is Time Machine asking if you want to use that external harddisk for backup ?
