Downloading the file from URL directly

Hi,
I need to download the documents directly that are stored in table.
I have table:
FileID, File_content
1 fruits.pdf
2 vegetables.docx
something like this.
I need to sent an URL to the users so that they can directly access the file with the fileid that I have embedded in the link after they provided the login credentials.
Can you please suggest me how I could construct the URL that I need to send to the end users.
Thanks,

Hi,
If your file contents (blob) is in your own table then you will need to write a custom procedure to accomplish the download.
If the files are stored in the Apex supplied wwv_flow_files then you can use the "p" procedure and URL is http://<host>:<port>/apex/p?n=<file_id>
The "p" procedure calls wwv_flow_file.get_file procedure (aka APEX_UTIL.GET_FILE) which is not wrapped. So, take that as your starting code and write your own procedure. Give appropriate grants to users, as with wwv_flow_file, and you are on your way ;).
Do some searching on this forum as well as google, you might find the code !
Regards,

One field is missing in downloading the file from report

Hi Friends,
I have a problem with downloading the file from SAP.
Actually the report has to download 6 fields from the list of the report to a .txt file on the presentation server. But it is downloading only 5 fields. The missing field is DEA#. Actually now i have to fix that problem.
I found that in the download process they have not inlcuded the DEA# field.
Here in this 1 field is not getting dowloading from the list of the report to the text file.
I'm giving a portion of the code.
Like this they r calling the FM:
FORM DOWNLOAD_FILE.
CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            FILENAME = P_OUTFIL
       TABLES
            DATA_TAB = I_OUTPUT.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    WRITE:/ 'Error downloading file'.
ENDIF.
in code we have,
data: v_output type t_output,
data: i_output type t_output occurs 0.
and,
BEGIN OF T_OUTPUT,
       RECORD(200),
       END OF T_OUTPUT.
when i debug the program,
the record field is showing only the 5 fields not the missing 6th filed)DEA#).
and we have another FORM :
*&      Form FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
      Insert tabs between fields so when uploaded in Excel, the
      record will be separated into columns where a tab is found.
FORM FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS.
LOOP AT I_KNA1 INTO V_KNA1.
    CONCATENATE: V_KNA1-KUNNR
                 V_KNA1-NAME1
                 V_KNA1-NAME2
                 V_KNA1-STRAS
                 V_KNA1-ORT01
                 V_KNA1-REGIO
                 V_KNA1-PSTLZ
       INTO V_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY C_TAB.
    APPEND V_OUTPUT TO I_OUTPUT.
    CLEAR V_OUTPUT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.                               " FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
If you look into this FM, there is no mention of DEA# field,
i hve tried to correct it by adding the "v_likp_dea" in the FM. when i did like this it is showing the DEA# field in the downloaded .txt file but only 1 value for all the records.
My question is for each record i have to show its unique DEA#.
I guess i could do this by putting it in loop, could anybody tell me how i can i do that, Please
Thank you very much.
Raj.

In the subroutine format_file_with_tabs ,
You should read it_likp with the key that uniquely identifies for dea# . This should be done in the loop at i_kna1.
Suppose kunnr identifies a unique dea# in it_likp internal table , then you should write
FORM FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS.
LOOP AT I_KNA1 INTO V_KNA1.
clear v_likp.
read table it_likp into v_likp
   with key kunnr = v_kna1-kunnr binary search.   (should sort the itab to use binary search with read. )
CONCATENATE: V_KNA1-KUNNR
V_KNA1-NAME1
V_KNA1-NAME2
V_KNA1-STRAS
V_KNA1-ORT01
V_KNA1-REGIO
V_KNA1-PSTLZ
v_likp-dea
INTO V_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY C_TAB.
APPEND V_OUTPUT TO I_OUTPUT.
CLEAR V_OUTPUT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM. " FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS

Download what files?
What is the actual problem that is occurring?

Download the file from oracle throuth jsp

you say you don't want to, so just don't :)
Start by learning the use of proper punctuation, grammar and spelling and use that knowledge to learn how to properly word a question so others can understand what you are asking.
Then come back and ask your question using that new knowledge.

When downloading, why do I get a message saying "Safari cant open file because the file has moved since it was downloaded?" I just attempted to download the file from a website. Thanks.

When downloading from a website, I get a message that says, "Safari cant open th file--- because the file has been moved since you downloaded it. How do I correct this problem. It wont let me open attachments from yahoo email either. Thanks.

EDIT:
After posting I see this question has the tag of "windows". I don't know if this applies to the Windows version or not.
The only time I see this message is if I download something, trash it, AND empty the trash. If I don't empty the trash, it finds it there. It will find it wherever I move it to, unless it is was in the trash and emptied.
Using Finder, is the downloaded file in your Downloads folder?
Maybe if you go to Safari/Preferences/General and change the location for downloads to something else then change it back to Downloads it might correct it.

Download a file from the web

Helo,
I have to download a file from the web and copy it to the file system (ex: download from http://172.26.20.22/test.csv to \\server01\teste.csv).
I must do this using only pl/sql and java sources, I have to do this calling a procedure from pl/sql and the server doesn't have any component installed.
I've built a java procedure using java to download the file, but it give-me AccessControlException when trying to download.
Can anyone tel me what permissions I should have to accomplish this? Is there any other easier way?
Thanks.

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?

How to get the filename from URL

Hi,
I want get the file name from the url while downloading a file. here is my case follows:
I have url like "http://www.myhost.com/dowloadFile.do?id=345546" . this will download "test.zip"; file from the browser.
I want download the file from that url and save that as "test.zip";, how can we get the file name "test.zip"; from java. I am using ConnectionURL to download the file.
waiting for the earliest responses.
-Bhaskar

Specify it in the content-disposition header.
To get it to work in a certain webbrowser, you need to supply it as part of the URL either.
Also see this example: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].

Error in Reading the file from Application Server

Hi,
This Error is regarding one of my interface, the issue is that , the interface reads data from file in bunch suppose 100 records at a time , then processes those records and once finished go for next 100 records .
Noe the error is that , the process takes place till 500 records correctly but when it went to fetch for next 100 i.e fom 501 to 600 it selects only 501 to 583 .
this records has been processed successfully but the job finished there only
but the file contains 788 records
When the same file has been run in other server it ran successfully without such error .
Can you please suggest how to resolve the issue

Hi,
Try to manually download the file from application server using standard transactions, and than check how many records are you able to download from app. server.
I guess there might be something wrong with the format of 583rd record, which makes sap assume that the file has come to an end.
Hope this will help you.

Problem while dowloading the file from Application Server

Dear Experts,
I am facing the Problem while downloading the file from Application server.
We done the automatic function while saving the invoice, this will create an idoc, and this idoc is written in the Application Server.
I am running the Transaction AL11 and select the record, and from menu --> List, i am downloading into TXT format.
But for some segments, the length is long, and so the last 3 to 4 fields values are not appearing in the File. Even though i am unable to view the values in the file before downloading. But i can view in IDOC.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Srini

but our user will use the Txn. AL11 and they will download from there
Educate the user On a serious note, tell him this is not how data from app server should be downloaded. You can ask him to talk to the basis team to provide him access to the app server folder where the file is being stored.
I can set the Variant and put this in background, But always the file name will be change, Like we use Time stamp in the File name.
You can't automate this process by scheduling in BG mode. This is because the in BG mode you can't dwld the file to presentation server.
Hope i'm clear.
BR,
Suhas

Download file from URL using ADF (urgent help required)

We have the following requirement:
On clicking a button we need to download the file present at a particular location(we have the URL).
I have written the following in .jspx file :
<af:commandButton id="btn1" >
                    <af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="text/plain; charset=utf-8" method="#{bean.getFile}"/>
</af:commandButton>
The corresponding method in bean is :
public void getFile(FacesContext facesContext, OutputStream outputStream) {
HttpServletResponse response = null;
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = null;
currUrl = getFileURL("ID", 281);
response =
(HttpServletResponse)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
try {
ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
ouputStream.write(this.getFileBytes(), 0,this.getFileBytes().length);
ouputStream.flush();
ouputStream.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("IO Exception");
public byte[] getFileBytes() {
URLConnection urlConn = null;
InputStream iStream = null;
URL url;
byte[] buf;
int byteRead;
try {
url= new URL("http://hjhj:34104/test.pdf");
urlConn = url.openConnection();
iStream = urlConn.getInputStream();
buf = new byte[5000000];
byteRead = iStream.read(buf);
if (byteRead > 0) {
System.out.println("Downloaded Successfully.");
return buf;
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
System.out.println("File not found Exception");
fnfe.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception:" + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
iStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IO Exception");
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("File");
return null;
The file is opening in same window but in some encrypted format. My requirement is to :
1. Have a pop (as in Mozilla or IE) which asks if I want to save the file or open.
2. Depending on that the file should be opened in pdf format and not in browser same window neither in browser tab.

Jdev version : 11.1.2.1.0
in .jspx file : we have a button. On clicking the button file from URL should be downloaded. I have used fileDownloadActionListener in commandButton. Corresponding code :
<af:commandButton id="btn1" >
                    <af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="text/plain; charset=utf-8" method="#{bean.getFile}"/>
</af:commandButton>
in bean class : the method corresponding to fileDownloadActionListener is :
public void getFile(FacesContext facesContext, OutputStream outputStream) {
     HttpServletResponse response = null;
     ServletOutputStream ouputStream = null;
     response =(HttpServletResponse)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
     try {
          ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
          ouputStream.write(this.getFileBytes(), 0,this.getFileBytes().length);
          ouputStream.flush();
          ouputStream.close();
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               System.out.println("IO Exception");
public byte[] getFileBytes() {
     URLConnection urlConn = null;
     InputStream iStream = null;
     URL url;
     byte[] buf;
     int byteRead;
     try {
          url= new URL("http://hjhj:34104/test");
          urlConn = url.openConnection();
          iStream = urlConn.getInputStream();
          buf = new byte[5000000];
          byteRead = iStream.read(buf);
          if (byteRead > 0) {
               System.out.println("Downloaded Successfully.");
          return buf;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
          System.out.println("File not found Exception");
     } catch (Exception e) {
          System.out.println("IO Exception");
The URL given in the code is for a file which can be a PDF file or an EXCEL file.
My requirement is when i click the button:
1. A pop should come (as in Mozilla or IE) which asks if I want to save the file or open.
2. if i click on save file should save in a particular location.
3. if i click on open it should open as PDF/EXCEL format and NOT in browser.

I download confidential info & save to a secured flash drive; how can I delete the file from "downloads" after that?

I am a mental health professional. My supervisor emails me confidential information as Word documents, which I download using Firefox. When the download is complete, I open the document and save it to my secured flash drive. I would like to then delete the file from my computer, so the flash drive has the only copy, to protect my clients' privacy. The only directions I can find are for deleting the entry from the downloads list, but not the file itself.

There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:
