Execute Excel from ITS

I'm trying to execute Excel from a ITS transaction using the GUI_EXEC, GUI_RUN or WS_EXECUTE functions I get a 'Select Program' dialog box from windows. I then have to find and select 'excel.exe' for it to work. Is there anyway to avoid the windows dialog box? It works find from SAPGUI.
Here's my code:
      data: PATHNAME LIKE SOXPC-PATH.
    Check where the Excel is
      CALL FUNCTION 'SO_PROGNAME_GET_WITH_PATH'
           EXPORTING
                DOCTYPE = 'XLS'
           IMPORTING
                PATHNAME = PATHNAME
           EXCEPTIONS
                OTHERS   = 1.
    Call Excel
      CALL FUNCTION 'WS_EXECUTE'
           EXPORTING
                PROGRAM     = PATHNAME
                COMMANDLINE = 'S:\0004.xls'
                INFORM      = 'X'
           EXCEPTIONS
                OTHERS      = 1.

If you wanted to role the execookie.txt file out to your user community, assuming they all use Internet Explorer, you could role a file which lets IE determine which application to launch. The following file worked for me:
TXT
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
JPG
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
JPEG
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
GIF
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
DOC
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
BMP
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
PDF
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
TIF
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
PPT
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
PPS
c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Download custom generated reports in Excel from ITS

Hi All,
We have generated some custom reports and have used ALV reporting. Now from the GUI we are able to download the report in excel but from the ITS this functionality is not working,
Has anybody idea how to achieve this for the custom reports.
Thanks,
Smita

Hi Luciano,
Thanks for your reply. I am really lost with your question. Before we were not able to download the standard SAP report and then we upgraded our Java Virtual Machine to V1.4 and its working for the standard report.
Now my problem is that I am not able to download it from the custom generated report.
As soon as I am clicking on export to local file the report screen is getting blank and not allowing for any further action.
Any clue?
Thanks,
Smita

EXCEL VBA: Inserting rows code returns error "2147417848 The object invoked has disconnected from its clients"

I was executing the following code in Excel 2013 that is linked to a button I use to add multiple rows in a chosen section of a worksheet
Sub Add_Rows_dc()
Sheet53.Unprotect ("xxx")
X = Range("C1").Value + 1 'Section Counter
Y = ListSheet.Range("I" & X).Value 'Existing rows counter
Z = ListSheet.Range("H" & X).Value 'Position counter
Righe = InputBox("How many rows would you like to add?", , "1")
If Righe < 1 Then GoTo err ' test for invalid row number
RigheSheet.Rows(X).Copy
Rows(Z - 1 & ":" & Righe + Z - 2).Insert Shift:=xlDown
GoTo Fine
err:
Mess = MsgBox("PLEASE INSERT A VALID NUMBER OF ROWS", vbCritical)
Fine:
'Formulas update
Z = ListSheet.Range("H" & X).Value 'Position counter update
Range("U" & Z - Righe - 2 & ":AF" & Z - 2).FillDown
Sheet53.Protect "xxx", , , , , True
End Sub
From time to time it returns me the error "2147417848 The object invoked has disconnected from its clients" and the debug point out the line
Rows(Z - 1 & ":" & Righe + Z - 2).Insert Shift:=xlDown
I cannot find any specific reason due to the fact that the error seems randomic, sometimes the code is perfectly executed, sometimes not.
I wrote this piece of code in Excel 2010 and never encountered such problem before reusing it in Excel 2013
Has someone an insight or a suggestion?
Thank you very much

Re: strange error
Try it this way...
(might work, might not)
Sub Add_Rows_dc_R1()
Dim X As Double
Dim Y As Double
Dim Z As Double
Dim Righe As Variant
Dim Mess As Long
    Sheet53.Unprotect ("xxx")
    X = Range("C1").Value + 1 'Section Counter
    Y = ListSheet.Range("I" & X).Value 'Existing rows counter
    Z = ListSheet.Range("H" & X).Value 'Position counter
    Righe = InputBox("How many rows would you like to add?", , "1")
    If Righe < 1 Then GoTo errX ' test for invalid row number
     RigheSheet.Rows(X).Copy
     Rows(Z - 1 & ":" & Righe + Z - 2).Insert Shift:=xlDown
    GoTo Fine
Fine:
'Formulas update
Z = ListSheet.Range("H" & X).Value 'Position counter update
Range("U" & Z - Righe - 2 & ":AF" & Z - 2).FillDown
Sheet53.Protect "xxx", , , , , True
Exit Sub
errX:
Mess = MsgBox("PLEASE INSERT A VALID NUMBER OF ROWS", vbCritical)
End Sub

Uploading excel files from ITS to sap

Hi all,
I want to upload excel files from ITS to sap system ECC 6.0 .I am using standalone ITS.Someone please help me find a solution for this.What are the steps involved in it?
Thanks in advance
Shinu

Hi Shinu,
this seems to be a misunderstanding. The ITS does not have excel files.
Did you mean to say that you have an application which allows to upload
files? This application might work using the webgui service of the ITS.
Try it out!

Executing Excel Macros from SAP

Hi all Experts,
I have created a program which tranfers data from different internal tables into Different Worksheets of a single workbook.
Now, Can some one please tell me how to Execute macros from SAP.
Regards,
AJ

To execute an Excel macro follow these steps.
1. Create macro inside Excel Workbook where you transferred your information.
2. Use following instruction to execute the desired macro you create:
    DATA: EXCEL TYPE OLE2_OBJECT.
    CREATE OBJECT EXCEL 'Excel.Application'.
    CALL METHOD OF EXCEL 'Run' EXPORTING #1 = 'WRITE_SHEET_CELL'
                                                                        #2 = 'VALUE1'
                                                                        #3 = 'VALUE2'
                                                                        #4 = 'VALUE3'.
In previous example, macro WRITE_SHEET_CELL was created first. The macro name must be in uppercase.
Regards.

Exporting to Excel from Aria People Search

Is it possible to export to Excel from Aria People Search.
I would like to output the Org Chart (built in) and the Tree (I created) to an Excel file.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
If you are using 10g, then OLE2 is supported. However, it will be executed in the App Server Machine.
If you want to do the operation in the Client machine (as how it was done in the Client / Server), you need to use Client_OLE (Which is part of WebUtil).
Look at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
for more details on WebUtil.

"Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"

I keep receiving this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and the app won't open. It said LR would try and fix this error next time I opened it but the error remains. I tried uninstalled and installing the app and the error remains.
Any Ideas here? Is there another app that may be telling it where to look for the cache and it no longer there? I was using a ramdisk for a bit but ditched it. Not sure if that has something to do with it but it seems suspect.
Your thoughts?

Issue with Data download to excel from ALV

Hi,
I am trying to download data to excel from ALV.
The number of records are 26000.
When I am trying to download I am getting an error displaying a pop up saying that
problems came up in the following areas during the load
TABLE
The log displayed is not clear.
I need to know the limitations while downloading to excel... I tried in SDN but of no use. I am using office 2007.
What is the max downloading limit(MB)
What must be the Length of line that can be downloaded.
Regards

Hi ,
First check whether your ALV grid OUTPUT is Consistent or Not .
if there are any inconsistency then you need to rectify that .
for Checking COnsistency / Inconsistency .do following steps
1) execute ALV report
2) Press Shift+Mouse Right Button (Twice) in blank area of report
3) you will get result whether ALV is good or not .

Deepak.

Security message on exporting grid to excel from webpage

I am exporting data to excel from grid on a webpage. I have written following code:
gv.DataSource = resultlist;
gv.DataBind();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Test.xls");
Response.ContentType = "application/excel";
//Ccreate string writer object and pass it to HtmlTextWriter object
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
gv.RenderControl(htw);
Response.Write(sw.ToString());
Response.End();
Code is executing correctly. But when I open this excel, it is giving me a warning message which says, "The file you are trying to open, "Test.xls", is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not
corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
File gets opened when I select "Yes" on this message box, but I don't want to get this message box. Is there any work-around to get rid of it? When I selected "Save As" option of this file, I found that default type of the file was Webpage.
How can we get this default type as "xls or xlsx"? I think this problem will be resolved when we will get this default type as "xls or xlsx".

Alternatively you could use OLE2 to do the bulk of the importing and exporting and then use the webutil file transfer functions to move the file to the client and then simply open the file there...That might be more efficient in terms of performance as well.
