How to save a file locally when executing backgroud job??

Hi guys!
Hope you can help...
I need to be able to save a file (text file) locally on my machine when Im running my report in the background...
Basically my program works like this:
I have a Selection Screen where the user makes a selection, and enters where on his/her local machine a generated text file (.txt) needs to be saved when F8 has been pressed.
But, it should ALSO be possible for this generated text file to be saved to the same location on the local machine if the program is run as a background job...
Is that possible?? or can one only save stuff when you run things in the background on the Application Side?? Do I have to use "OPEN DATASET" keywords, or is there a Function Module you know of??
POINTS WILL BE REMOVED!!!
tks
Christiaan

Hello,
It is not possible to save file locally when running the program in background. It will be only saved on the application server.
We had a similar requirement earlier. We developed another program which is executed after this program which downloads the file from the application server to the user desktop. This is just one simple additional step which should solve your problem.
Hope this helps.

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

You want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

HELP!!!! How to save xml file!!!Anyone can help???

Hi,
It is urgent for me to know how to save xml file. I use VC++6.0, Oracle xdk 9.0.0.0.0 or 9.0.0.0.0Abeta under windows98.
It is OK to compile the program with print() method. But system will tell me there is illegal operation when I run it. If I delete the line with print(), the result will be normal.
in class node, there is two functions
void print(ostream *out = &cout, uword level = 0,uword step = 4);
void print(DOMString buffer, size_t bufsize, uword level = 0, uword step = 4);
Is there anyone who may tell me how to use them? to write back specific xml file?
Without print(), I can not save the xml file...It seems in Oracle xdk9.0.0.0.0, there is no obvious function to save the file.(or because I am a new comer , not familier with DOM)
Can anyone tell me how to save xml file? or just paste an example! It is very a little urgent to me...Hope you give me some ideas....
Many thanks in advance!!!!
yours,
Fiena

make sure the file format in the box should be PSD and then you may save the file and then you can share with any one.

ADF how to display a processing page when executing large queries

ADF how to display a processing page when executing large queries
The ADF application that I have written currently has the following structure:
DataPage (search.jsp) that contains a form that the user enters their search criteria --> forward action (doSearch) --> DataAction (validate) that validates the inputted values --> forward action (success) --> DataAction (performSearch) that has a refresh method dragged on it, and an action that manually sets the itterator for the collection to -1 --> forward action (success) --> DataPage (results.jsp) that displays the results of the then (hopefully) populated collection.
I am not using a database, I am using a java collection to hold the data and the refresh method executes a query against an Autonomy Server that retrieves results in XML format.
The problem that I am experiencing is that sometimes a user may submit a query that is very large and this creates problems because the browser times out whilst waiting for results to be displayed, and as a result a JBO-29000 null pointer error is displayed.
I have previously got round this using Java Servlets where by when a processing servlet is called, it automatically redirects the browser to a processing page with an animation on it so that the user knows something is being processed. The processing page then recalls the servlet every 3seconds to see if the processing has been completed and if it has the forward to the appropriate results page.
Unfortunately I can not stop users entering large queries as the system requires users to be able to search in excess of 5 million documents on a regular basis.
I'd appreciate any help/suggestions that you may have regarding this matter as soon as possible so I can make the necessary amendments to the application prior to its pilot in a few weeks time.

Hi Steve,
After a few attempts - yes I have a hit a few snags.
I'll send you a copy of the example application that I am working on but this is what I have done so far.
I've taken a standard application that populates a simple java collection (not database driven) with the following structure:
DataPage --> DataAction (refresh Collection) -->DataPage
I have then added this code to the (refreshCollectionAction) DataAction
protected void invokeCustomMethod(DataActionContext ctx)
super.invokeCustomMethod(ctx);
HttpSession session = ctx.getHttpServletRequest().getSession();
Thread nominalSearch = (Thread)session.getAttribute("nominalSearch") ;
if (nominalSearch == null)
synchronized(this)
//create new instance of the thread
nominalSearch = new ns(ctx);
} //end of sychronized wrapper
session.setAttribute("nominalSearch", nominalSearch);
session.setAttribute("action", "nominalSearch");
nominalSearch.start();
System.err.println("started thread calling loading page");
ctx.setActionForward("loading.jsp");
else
if (nominalSearch.isAlive())
System.err.println("trying to call loading page");
ctx.setActionForward("loading.jsp");
else
System.err.println("trying to call results page");
ctx.setActionForward("success");
Created another class called ns.java:
package view;
import oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionContext;
import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCIteratorBinding;
import oracle.adf.model.generic.DCRowSetIteratorImpl;
public class ns extends Thread
private DataActionContext ctx;
public ns(DataActionContext ctx)
this.ctx = ctx;
public void run()
System.err.println("START");
DCIteratorBinding b = ctx.getBindingContainer().findIteratorBinding("currentNominalCollectionIterator");
((DCRowSetIteratorImpl)b.getRowSetIterator()).rebuildIteratorUpto(-1);
//b.executeQuery();
System.err.println("END");
and added a loading.jsp page that calls a new dataAction called processing every second. The processing dataAction has the following code within it:
package view;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataForwardAction;
import oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionContext;
public class ProcessingAction extends DataForwardAction
protected void invokeCustomMethod(DataActionContext actionContext)
// TODO: Override this oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataAction method
super.invokeCustomMethod(actionContext);
HttpSession session = actionContext.getHttpServletRequest().getSession();
String action = (String)session.getAttribute("action");
if (action.equalsIgnoreCase("nominalSearch"))
actionContext.setActionForward("refreshCollection.do");
I'd appreciate any help or guidance that you may have on this as I really need to implement a generic loading page that can be called by a number of actions within my application as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance for your help
David.

How to save .pdf file using office word and excel

Can someone help me how to save .pdf files using office word and excel? I reinstalled my adobe 7.0 pro in my new pc and before I was able to do it but with my old pc.

For anything after Office 2003, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you installed AA 7 on OS newer than XP, you may have to do a workaround to get it to work. With later versions of WORD you can always use the MS plugin for creating PDFs.

How to save slideshow settings so when I press Ctrl-Enter it does what I want?

How to save slideshow settings so when I press Ctrl-Enter it does what I want?
eh?
R

I tested what you gave me there Rob. On my Mac I have dual monitors:
-Only blackens/show slideshow on one monitor (the main monitor, if I move LR to my secondary monitory, the slideshow is still on the first, but the second still runs normal, with LR just sitting there).
-If I disable slide durration I have to manually advance the slides with the right arrow.
-I don't have "Lightroom" (or with my current settings any) text on the screen.
-Does not repeat.
My Windows machine doesn't have dual monitors, but the others work correctly....
That is, until I thought about this differently. Since we are looking at changing Slideshow settings, I was naturally in the Slideshow module. But then I remembered the whole point of the Impromtu Slideshow was that you can view slideshow playback from any module. Once I returned to Library and clicked Command/Ctrl+Enter, then I saw exactly what you are talking about. Both monitors are blackened, slide duration is ignored, etc.
You know why? Because the Impromptu Slideshow uses one of the templates when outside of the Slideshow Module. Which one? Well, Default +, of course. How do you change that? Right-click (Command-click) the slideshow template you'd rather use and select "Use for Impromptu Slideshow".

How can I run a Local PC executable file from Enterprise Portal?

I want to run local PC executable files from inside the portal. To be more specific I want to be able to open the Outlook and some powerbuilder executable applications.
How can I do it?

If you absolutely want to do it, you can use vbscript for it (though there are a lot of security contstraints)
