Upload / Open a Word Document from BDS with WebDynpro

Hello,
we use the BDS (Business Document Server) to storage our word files. Now we use WebDynpro with the UI OfficeControl.
Could any one tell me, how to open/upload my documents from BDS with the OfficeControl.
The UI FileUpload does not work, because it is not allowed to use specify URLs. link:[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/b3/be7941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
For example that is the URL from the BDS: "SAPR3://SAPR3CMS/get/100/BDS_5FDB2_5FR/7B3AAF5B22AAD21197ED0060B0672A3C/Forminterface.doc"
I use the class "CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET" with the method "get_with_url". result is above.
Each example with the OfficeControl from SAP (Package SIOS) use the Mime Repository:
mime_repository = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
CALL METHOD mime_repository->get
    EXPORTING
      i_url     = url
    IMPORTING
      e_content = content.
wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'DATAS' value = content ).
Have any one an idea, how BDS and WebDynpro works together

What about getting the binary of the word document from BDS and download this?
Yes, it exist a method calls "get_with_table". This return the binary path from my url above.
Here is my source code:
public attributes
DATA oi_document TYPE REF TO if_ios_wordprocessing.
DATA oi_factory TYPE REF TO if_ios_factory.
METHOD wddomodifyview .
DATA ol_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA ol_office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_office_control.
DATA vl_document TYPE xstring.
short from
vl_document = myBDS->get_with_table( ).
Settings for UI OFFICE_CONTROL
ol_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'OFFICE' ).
ol_node->set_attribute( name = 'DATASET' value = vl_document ).
get the office control
wd_this->oi_office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE_CONTROL' ).
get the IOS Factory
      wd_this->oi_factory ?= ol_office->_method_handler.
get proxy document
      wd_this->oi_factory->get_wordprocessing_proxy(
      IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->oi_document ).
CALL METHOD wd_this->oi_document->if_ios_document~opendocument( ).
ENDMETHOD.
When I compile everything is ok. But when I run my application, it nothing happen. No word file is opening or no error message. I create a ALC trace (SAPNOTE 949770).
Each time when I try to open my word file comes a popup-window from the alc-trace:
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::| STG_E_READFAULT : readaccess|HRESULT=-2147287010(     A disk error occurred during a read operation)
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::|Office version is lower than 12, only native office format supported|HRESULT=-2147467259(Unspecified error
ERRO|20081024143529|WD86_1300|CIOS_GeneralDocumentContainer_Acf::|loadOffice2007xml|HRESULT=-2147467259(Unspecified error )
But I have access to the BDS and to the document.
Can any one help me.....

How top Open a Excel Document from share point document library using jquery

How top Open a Excel Document from share point document library using jquery

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open excel file via JQuery.
To open excel file, we can use the following code.
<script type="text/javascript">
function openExcel(strFilePath) {
var yourSite = "http://www.yoursite.com";
openExcelDocPath(yourSite + strFilePath, false);
function openExcelDocPath(strLocation, boolReadOnly) {
var objExcel;
objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
objExcel.Visible = true;
objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strLocation, false, boolReadOnly);
</script>

Hi Manu,
Follow these steps:
1. Create CONTEXT with 2 attributes - UPLOAD & SHOW of type XSTRING.
2. Add a "UPLOAD" element on the layout of screen & map it with UPLOAD attribute of context.
3. Then Add a "OFFICE CONTROL" on the same screen & map it with the SHOW attribute of context..
4. Add a BUTTON for Show Document/Open Document.
5. Add 2 attrubutes in ATTRIBUTES tab of the dynpro application:
        i) DOCUMENT type IF_IOS_DOCUMENT
       ii) FACTORY    type IF_IOS_FACTORY
6. On method of that button (SHOW)...enter the following code:
DATA : refexp TYPE REF TO cx_ios_exception.
IF wd_this->document IS INITIAL.
    wd_this->factory->get_document_proxy( IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->document ).
    ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->document IS BOUND.
ENDIF.
wd_this->document->opendocument( ).
read context node
DATA:
    node_file_upload                    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
    elem_file_upload                    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
    stru_file_upload                    TYPE if_second=>element_file_upload .
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FILE_UPLOAD> via lead selection
node_file_upload = wd_context->get_child_node( name = if_second=>wdctx_file_upload ).
get element via lead selection
elem_file_upload = node_file_upload->get_element( ).
get all declared attributes
elem_file_upload->get_static_attributes(
    IMPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).
stru_file_upload-show = stru_file_upload-upload.
set all declared attributes
elem_file_upload->set_static_attributes(
    EXPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).
7. Now add the following code to the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method (default method)
DATA:
      office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_view_element.
get the office control
office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE' ).
ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION office IS BOUND.
get the IOS interface
wd_this->factory ?= office->_method_handler.
ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->factory IS BOUND.
8. Run the application & enter a text file of word format in the File Upload.
9. Press show button & it will display the code of that word file.
Plz ask any queries if you face any problem doing the above code.
& dont forget to mark Points.

Parteek.

How to open the pdf document from KM through Link to URL UI element

Hi All,
I have Link to URL UI element in webdynpro java layout - on click of the link we need to open the pdf document from KM respository.
KM Document location : irj/go/km/docs/documents/RHPortal//USA/A/Test/Employee_details.pdf.
Once this is transported to Test and Production portals , we need to retrieve the KM document from the respective portal location through the Link to URL UI element .
Thanks,
Portaluser100

Hi,
If you set the link to your document in a Context attribute by using a relative path this should work just fine.
Example:
wdContext.currentContextElement().setUrl("/irj/go/km/docs/documents/RHPortal//USA/A/Test/Employee_details.pdf");
Bind that attribute to the reference property of the LinkToURL element.
Cheers,
Leo

How do I open a word document from a url?

We have a document server and I need to open a MSWord document that is a template for LabView to populate (using bookmarks and Connectivity Toolkit).
I have looked at the URL builder and I can't get that to work. The Get Document does open the document but it doesn't seam to give the correct path to the Word Get Report so it doesn't give a good link.
I can open it in the default browser which links to Word but again there isn't any link to feed to Word Get Report.
Am I even close?
Thank you,
Ben
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here's a code snippet that should help you:
It:
initializes a HTTP session with a username and password,
generates a random, non-existent filename with a doc extension
Get's a file on URL to the temporary filename
Closes the HTTP session
Starts the Report Generaton Toolkit, with the file from the web as the template

How to open a Word document in LabVIEW

I would like to open use a Word document as a Help file in my LabView project. I want it to open when the user clicks on a button.
From what I have read, using ActiveX commands seems to be the way to do it, but I'm having real difficulty understanding these commands and the examples listed. It is probably quite simple but I just can't get my head around it.
Can anyone explain how to do it in simple terms.
Thanks
BD

Hmm.. I only have Office 97 and 2003, so not sure if this will work with Office 2000. Well, try to open the VI (I saved it to previous version 7.1), and if there are broken wires, do the following (see screenshots):
1.    right click on Word._Application and go to Select ActiveX Class and Browse (the wording might be different since we're using different version of LabVIEW)
2.1 it might take a while (a few minutes), but a little window will pop up with all the ActiveX libraries (I think all of them) on your computer. Select Microsoft Word x.x Object Library. The one on my computer is from Office 2003, so it's 11.0, I think Office 2000 is 8.0.
2.2 check the Show Creatable Objects Only box, select Application from the list, and click ok
3.    If there are still broken wires, go through each property and invoke nodes and reselect the function (functions are slightly different in different version of the library)
4.   If there are still broken wires, click on the broken arrow and see what's wrong, if the error says something like "contains unwired or bad terminal", double click on the error to go to the problematic node, and create a constant on each empty input (sometimes older version library requires more parameters..)
Hope this will work...

How to open MS word document in browser window?

Hi all
Is it somehow acheivable to open a .doc - document in a browser window?
If I link a .pdf - file from the document library in left navigation menu it opens in a browser window. If I do the same with a MS Word docuemnt it opens the Word application, but I want it to open it inside a browser. Can this somehow be done?
Regards

Hi,
If you want open your document inside Browser, you can try the following settings:
The setting that controls this behavior is located in Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) on the user's machine.
Open “Windows Explorer”.
Select Tools -> Folder Options... from the menu.
Go to the “File Types” tab.
In the “Registered file types list”, select the file you want to change the setting for (e.g. DOC).
Click the “Advanced” button to open the Edit File Type dialog.
There is a checkbox, Browse in same window, where you can specify whether the selected file type should be opened within the browser or launched in its host application when clicked on a web page.

How to open a word document in safari?

How do I open a Microsoft Word document on my ipad using Safari?

I assume that the site is not optimized for iOS/mobile browsers, if that is the behavior that you are seeing. You could try downloading an alternative browser that identifies as a desktop browser like Mercury Browser. There is a free version that I am using right now. You can identify as a desktop browser by tapping the Settings Icon and choosing for User Agent in the lower right corner.
Perhaps if the site recognizes the browser as a desktop version, it will work for this purpose. If it doesn't work, you have lost nothing but a little bit of time. If it does work and you like Mercury, you can purchase the full version.
I have the Full version of Mercury, iCab Mobile, Atomic, Dolphin, and Google Chrome which will all identify as desktop browsers.

How big can a word document be before Pages (iPad1) crashes?

I have an iPad1 and was thinking of using it for some quick edits. Since my MacBook struggles a bit with some of my larger word documents, I wondered how the iPad would fare. I don't want to waste the $10 on Pages if it isn't going to work for me. My documents tend to be 100-400 pages, with TOC's, indices, tables, and figures spread through out. The file sizes (of .doc and .docx files) range from 2MB-12MB. Is the idea of editing these documents on an iPad just a dream?

There is no fixed limit on what Pages for iPad can handle and 2-15 MB is doable.
That said, 100-400 pages is not a "consumer" level document. Thats a very large document. If Word on a full blown computer is having issues with your documents then Pages on a Mobile device may struggle.
Pages may run slowly with that number of pages and complexity you indicate. Embeded graphics take more of a tole than simple text. In addition it may not preserve some of the unique formatting you might have from Word.
It might be wise to take an example document to an Apple Retail store or Best Buy and load it on one of their iPads and see what it does.
Cheers.
