Generic file download

Hi,
say I have a list of filenames 0 to n which I want to display on a page using the filedownload UI-Element. Im using NW 7.1 so the IWDModifiableBinaryType is deprecated. If I want to create a Resource with the ResourceFactory I have to provide one of the predefined mime types. Problem is, I dont want to implement a logic that determines the exact mime type for every file I have in the list. Is there any way to circumvent this?
Also, is there a way to handle multiple filedownloads without creating the UI elements dynamically?
Thanks in advance

Hi Stefan,
you wont have to implement the Mime-Finder utility yourself, WebDynpro comes with the WDWebResourceType.getResourceTypeForFileExtentsion(fileExtension) helper class.
For multiple Up/Downloads: If you use an 1...* model node to store the documents, you can simply map it to a wd table and use up/download cell editors or action links. That way, all the nescessary ui elements are created within the table/row context of wd and you dont have to care for dynamic elements anymore. You can use some layout options to control the visual representation of the table.
hope that helps,
Jan

Flash Player Installer downloads from the Adobe distribution site as a generic file without an extension and the file won't open.

Hi, everyone.
When I download Flash Player Installer from the Adobe distribution site Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe the file downloads to my hard drive as a generic file with no extension, and Windows can't determine which program to use in order to open/play the file. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Is there something wrong with the downloaded file? Or am I missing required software?
Thank you for your time,
-Brandon

Yes, I've never had a problem before. I've even downloaded the Flash Player Install files from the Adobe distribution site on multiple occasions in the past without issue. The only thing I could think of is that perhaps the ".exe" extension was left off to avoid triggering security measures on a computer or private network that would prevent the download.
Anyway, it worked after I added the ".exe" extension to the filename, so I have no complaints!

TAx Reporter Temse Files Download Automation

Hi,
I have a reuiqrement to download the Temse files generated in Tax Reporter. I have completed the code and it works fine if we run the program in foreground. But when I run the same program in background some Temse files downloaded have junk characters. If I download the same Temse file in foreground it works fine.
There seems to be some issue with the FM when I run my progam in background.
I have searched SDN and SAP Notes for any clues but did not get any.

To display non US-ASCII filename in file download dialog - Help Needed

Hi,
Our application supports to upload a file with name in chinese/japanese language. When user tries to download filedownload dialog box is appearing with the filename as junk characters.
How to solve this issue to display the filename as uploaded.
Thanks in advance
~kans

bsampieri, issue is in display of the file name in
file download dialog.
~kansI understood that, but my thought was that the HTTP headers content type containing a charset of UTF-8 might help. I don't know for sure, but otherwise, I don't know how to get the browser to otherwise not assume ASCII.

Can not open file download prompt in portal web app.

Hi folks,
I am migrating existing Struts app into portal web app and currently stuck on the following problem.
In existing app, Struts action calls servlet that generates excel file, sets response headers:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=thename.csv");
that brings up "file download" prompt window.
In portal app, the same code writes excel file content into browser window instead of the prompt.
Has anyone had to deal with similar problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Alex.
Version of portal used is 8.1 SP5
Struts - 1.1

Problem is resolved. For those who might be interested - specifying redirect=true on forward to servlet did the trick.

Issue with File Download(messageDownload) on Search Page.

Hi,
I created a custom OAF search page which fetches values from one table. The document in getting stored in my custom table in a BLOB colums and NOT in FND_LOBS.
The table has 3 collumns along with others:
1st is primary key (Record_Seq) ==> number data type
2nd to store actual file name (File1Name) ==> varcahar2 data type
3rd to store the actual uploaded data (File1Data) ==> BLOB data type
The reason for having the “File1Name” is so that I can display the original file name of the document that was uploaded, instead of just the “view” in the search page results .
On the File1Data BLOB and created a messageDownload for that under query results table with following details:
ID : File1Data
ItemStyle : messageDownload
FileMIME Type : pdf
Datatype : BLOB
View Instance : LacEmpExposureVO1
view Attribute : File1Name
File View Attribute : File1Data
When I click on the "File1Name" data hyperlink, it is opening only the first document corresponding to the first record in the search page results.
For example, If my search page returns 10 rows then when I click on the file1name on any row, It is open the first row file name only.
I have a primary key column(RECORD_SEQ) in the Table / EO / VO which is displayed in the search page results.
Also one weird thing is happening:
If I try to do this more than 2 times then it is opening the update page with the first record from the search page results…
I tried to print the context and it is nul the first time, But the second time then context is changing to "update". Dont know how this is happening????
Any advice is greatly appreciated as it is very crucial for me to get this resolved ASAP. I have looked at several forums and did a lot of things as advised in the forums . But nothing seems to work for me.
Thanks,
Mir

Duplicate post -- Issue with File Download(messageDownload) on Search Page.

I am having problems downloading files from the web. After a number of files are downloaded, the system become sluggish, and then hangs. I traced the problem to the download history file: downloads.sqlite.

After downloading a number of 1.0 MB files, the system became very sluggish, and I started to get lots of (Not Responding) messages when trying to download or just use Firefox for browsing. Using Performance Monitor, I observed that the Firefox executable was growing larger and larger - up to as large as 1.2 GB on a system with 2.0 GB memory. Page faults were off the chart.
Looking for a similar problem, I found one that discussed the downloads.sqlite file becoming corrupted. I first noticed that this file was over 600 MB in size, so I deleted it. I then downloaded additional files, and observed that the new downloads.sqlite file would increase in size by about 150% of the size of each file that was downloaded. Once it would get up to 500 MB in size, the system started slowing down again.
I don't know the purpose of this file, but it appears that it keeps a full copy of every file downloaded, which may be the function of a download history file, but it does not seem correct that the file should grow in size without limit, and thus impact the system.
I would also appear that the Firefox executable is trying to read the entire contents of this file each time a new file is downloaded, which does not seem right.
Temporary fix is to periodically delete the downloads.sqlite file when it gets too large and starts impacting performance.. Apparently it is smart enough to open a new file if the old one is not found. I am not sure what the correct behavior for this file should be. Apparently is does not re-initialize when a new Firefox session is initiated.
Please feel free to contact me if more information is desired. I'm not sure what details you might need to troubleshoot this type of problem.

Hi Katy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What is the exact name of the file?
Is it aim.bin?
Which requires either Stuffit Expander, or the Unarchiver to deflate.

File downloads not working in Pepper-Flash beta 11.8.800.115 (chrome)

Pepper-Flash Beta version 11.8.800.115 was auto-installed in latest Chrome update (29.0.1547.57 m). This flash version does not display save/open dialog when clicking on a link that opens a file via flash.net.navigateToURL(request, "_self"). Request is an http get that calls a servlet that responds with a binary stream.

The follow are two separate workarounds that we used. We initially used the first workaround below until figuring out #2.
(1) Use the download function on a flash.net.FileReference object. The flow is not as nice, but works as long as the download occurs as part of a user initiated event, such as a button click. We added a switch so that this workaround was only used if the browser was Chrome, so that IE and Firefox kept the same flow.
(2) Embed a hidden frame in your html and make an ExternalInterface call similar to the following to target the download to it. We also have an exit page prompt, but targeting a hidden frame does not affect it:
ExternalInterface.call("downloadFileToHiddenFrame", url);
Javascript function...
function downloadFileToHiddenFrame(locationRef) {
top.frames["myhiddenframename"].location.href = locationRef;
One note, we always use application/octet-stream as the mime type for downloads to avoid the possibility of the file actually rendering in the hidden frame. After implementing #2 above, file downloads in Chrome now flow exactly the same as before the pepper flash issue surfaced.
Hope this helps.

File download from server

Hi All,
I have written a code that downloads a file from server using the following link given by Frank,
File download from server
I am able to get a open/save/cancel dialog with help of this. But issue is that applications of kind .doc/.xls/.ppt gets opened (If user clicks open) right in the internet explorer window instead of getting opened in a new office application....
However .pdf runs fine.
Can any thing be done for this???
Any help....
Regards,
Amitt

Hi,
what do you have for the content disposition header?
Try this:
         response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
         response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fname + "\"");
         response.setContentType("application/x-download");Brenden

Report Print & Export Issue (File Download Box appears)

We send a URL to Crystal Enterprise which runs a script, logs on, finds folder, finds report and displays in the Crystal report viewer. All that works fine....
However, when you select the print icon or the export icon a Windows Internet Explorer box to select page range etc. and then when you say OK, you recieve a File Download Box asking to Open/Save/Cancel one of the following:
Print - Name: CrystalViewer.pdf, and Type of pdf_auto_file
Export - Name: CrystalViewer.rpt, and Type of CrystalReports
I have no IDEA what he is trying to do but he sure ain't printing. I can only assume that I have a missing part that he is trying to download at the time of print/export. Or that there is something set in the script that is killing me...

Help me???

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

V8.2.1: generic file i/o error while loading VI's

Hello,
I had a large LV application open and running fine. I closed it, and upon re-opening the top-level VI it gives "Generic File I/O Error" on several sub-VI's (belonging to me, not LV). Opening those sub VI's individually reveals no problem at all, and in any case the whole code base lives in a Subversion repository and I have tried checking out a fresh copy of the whole source code tree and the problem re-appeared. Before Labview displays the "File I/O error" it will hang for several minutes with no disk or CPU activity.
I just tried checking out a fresh copy of the source tree on a separate computer. Now Labview is hanging while loading "<vilib>:\DAQmx\create\channels.llb\DAQmx Create Channel (CI-GPS Timestamp).vi" after having managed to load 920 VI's. On edit: I spoke too soon. It is now duplicating the "Generic File I/O Error" on one of my sub VI's.
If anyone has any clue to this strange behavior please let me know.
Thank you,
-Brian

What I found was this...
My code calls a bunch of subVI's in another directory. Those subVI's in turn had some unwise paths saved in some of them that loaded other subVI's from a network shared drive instead of the local disk directory.
The network shared drive had been taken off line since the computer was delivered to a customer last Friday. When LV tried to load the VI's from the shared drive, it would hang for about 5 minutes, then give the "Generic File I/O Error" with an "Ok" button to continue. I eventually sat and did this for about 13 VI's, taking most of an hour while waiting for the network reads to timeout.
Once my now-broken application loaded I was able to successfully re-direct the missing VI's to the local disk, resolving the problem.
The "Generic File I/O Error" message could not be less useful in this case and I'm rather irritated by the genericity of the message. Something like "Network read failed" would have immediately illustrated the problem and kept me from wasting a whole lot of time deciphering it.

The server is failing to download some updates.
This error is happening everyday. Please advise for a fix.
If this is happening on an UPSTREAM server it is because you have approved updates that are no longer available from Microsoft. Almost always this involves approvals of *EXPIRED* updates (which have been pulled from the catalog and cannot be downloaded).
If this is happening on a DOWNSTREAM server it's because something/someone deleted the files from the upstream server. It can also happen if the entire upstream ~\WSUSContent folder has gone amuk.
For an upstream server, find the expired updates, remove the approvals, cancel the downloads, and then decline the updates.
For a downstream server, figure out what the affected updates are and fix the upstream server.
