HTMLDB 1.6 Download

Hi,
Please let me know the time frame for 1.6 download for Solaris and Windows ?
Regards

Ahmad,
No, you will download and install 1.6 and you will indicate that you want to upgrade your metadata to 1.6. I don't follow your second question, but only one version of HTML DB can be operational in a given database at a time. As always, an Oracle database can be accessed from any number of remote databases.

  • HTMLDB 1.6 Download broken?

    Hi,
    I've tried several loadings of standalone HTMLDB 1.6 for Linux x86 and got funny results.
    The Size of the Zip received is shown as approx 25 MB.
    1. Starting to unpack my arc tells me that the Content has a Lenght of ZERO.
    2. This morning I repeated the Download ( download-uk.oracle.com ... ) and received a Notice that even the Page has been moved or corrupted. squid tells me the requested Download could not be established, cause the File containes only ZERO.
    Any Hints?
    Can I do the upgrade from 1.5.0 to 1.6 using Companion Disk?
    regards
    Franz Langner

    SUCCESS!
    I think there was something else in progress

  • How to query a distant database without using db link in pl/sql

    Hi
    I have two different distantly located databases say d1,d2
    There is a table dept which had deptno (primary key),department name as columns .
    I need to query database d2 on the basis of the deptno present in database d1.
    In database d2 , there are some tables which have columns as deptno.
    I cannot use DB link .
    Is there any other method that I can use from Pl/sql ?
    Is it possible thru XML ?
    PLs let me know in details .
    regards
    SHUBH

    You need to have an Oracle Apache Server installed. It can be on any platform that has connectivity to the Oracle Server. Preferably on the same server as Oracle itself.
    The Apache Server is installed in its ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache. It should have been configured by the installer. All you need to do is to create a DaD (Database Access Descriptor) for MOD_PLSQL. This is a custom Apache Module that provides direct access to PL/SQL via OCI. DaDs are defined in the ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql/conf directory. There are README files, sample files and a dads.conf file in which you need to define a URL to assign as the service for your database, the Oracle username and password to use to logon, and the database connection details (e.g. TNS alias).
    The Apache Server needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect (using either opmnctl or apachectl).
    Let's say the URL path defined is /mydatabase. When Apache receives a URL that starts with /mydatabase, it passes it to MOD_PLSQL. MOD_PLSQL looks in the dads.conf for the database to connect to. The rest of the URL contains the PL/SQL package or function to call, e.g.
    /mydocuments/scott.p123.procABC&emp_id=123
    Where procedure procABC is called in packahe p123 in the Scott Schema. The variable EMP_ID is passed with value 123. Thus the procABC definition will look as follows in the package:
    procedure procABC( emp_id number ) is
    begin
      .. code..
    end.;This proc can write HTML data - i.e. dynamically create a HTML response page. Or it can create an image or any other Mime type that the browser can handle.
    Oracle provides a bunch of PL/SQL packages for that. E.g. HTP and OWA packages.
    This in a nutshell is how MOD_PLSQL is used to allow a web browser URL to be passed directly to a PL/SQL procedure.
    The details are under Oracle Application Server PL/SQL (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_12/web.htm). Two manuals are applicable:
    * mod_plsql User's Guide
    * Web Toolkit Reference
    It is not complex to use. In fact, the easiest to get all this going is to install HTMLDB 2. Download the Oracle 10G Companion CD for your platform (even if you're running 9.2). Install HTMLDB (this will be in a seperate ORACLE_HOME and will not touch your existing Oracle installation). This will install the latest Apache and MOD_PLSQL software from Oracle. Also HTMLDB is built entirely on MOD_PLSQL and with PL/SQL procedures - and serves as Microsof Access type web interface for developing and deploying web applications on Oracle using PL/SQL. Very powerful and flexible and very easy to use.

  • Cannot download HTMLDB 1.6

    I am trying to down HTMLDB 1.6 as a standalone product. It always gets to 90% and then stops regardless of which browser I use and which machine I try it on. Is there something corrupt about the file which prevents the download from occurring fully?.

    i m also having the same problem with bb9780...........................and internet service plan is already activated......................... kindly provide the solution asps.............Thanks...

  • Request work space link on downloaded version of HTMLDB

    I have been using HTMLDB for a while now and I am very much impressed. I want to open up the local installation I have to all the developers in my firm. That is when I noticed that "Request work space" link is not there in my local version of htmldb. The first impression would be much better if they can request a workspace online rather than call me up. Is there a way I can get the functionality on my local install ?

    Please ignore.... Found out that it is quite simple... change provisioning status to "request" from "manual"

  • Problem with htmldb 2 (Sorry APEX)!

    I installed htmldb 2 on a windows XP, Oracle 10gR1 (which has enhanced by companion CD downloaded form Oracle's site). Everything went OK but when I want to connect to it by this url: http://localhost:7777/pls/htmldb it takes my username,pass but says:
    "Service Temporarily Unavailable
    The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
    Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28 Server at localhost Port 7777"
    I noticed many differences between my installed Apache and documents of htmldb. I run a 9.0.4.0.0 Apache server and the dads.conf and httpd.conf are as following:

    # Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
    # This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
    # configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
    # See <URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/> for detailed information about
    # the directives.
    # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
    # what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
    # consult the online docs. You have been warned.
    # After this file is processed, the server will look for and process
    # E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache/conf/srm.conf and then E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache/conf/access.conf
    # unless you have overridden these with ResourceConfig and/or
    # AccessConfig directives here.
    # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
    # 1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
    # whole (the 'global environment').
    # 2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
    # which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
    # These directives also provide default values for the settings
    # of all virtual hosts.
    # 3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
    # different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
    # same Apache server process.
    # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
    # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
    # server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do not begin
    # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
    # with ServerRoot set to "E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache" will be interpreted by the
    # server as "E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache/logs/foo.log".
    # NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
    # instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
    # If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
    # will be used by default. It is recommended that you always supply
    # an explicit drive letter in absolute paths, however, to avoid
    # confusion.
    ### Section 1: Global Environment
    # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
    # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
    # can find its configuration files.
    # ServerType is either inetd, or standalone. Inetd mode is only supported on
    # Unix platforms.
    ServerType standalone
    # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
    # configuration, error, and log files are kept.
    # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.
    ServerRoot "E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache"
    # PidFile: The file in which the server should record its process
    # identification number when it starts.
    PidFile logs/httpd.pid
    # ScoreBoardFile: File used to store internal server process information.
    # Not all architectures require this. But if yours does (you'll know because
    # this file will be created when you run Apache) then you must ensure that
    # no two invocations of Apache share the same scoreboard file.
    ScoreBoardFile logs/httpd.scoreboard
    # In the standard configuration, the server will process httpd.conf (this
    # file, specified by the -f command line option), srm.conf, and access.conf
    # in that order. The latter two files are now distributed empty, as it is
    # recommended that all directives be kept in a single file for simplicity.
    # The commented-out values below are the built-in defaults. You can have the
    # server ignore these files altogether by using "/dev/null" (for Unix) or
    # "nul" (for Win32) for the arguments to the directives.
    #ResourceConfig conf/srm.conf
    #AccessConfig conf/access.conf
    # Timeout: The number of seconds before receives and sends time out.
    Timeout 300
    # SendBufferSize: controls setsockopt() call made to set send buffer size on
    # all sockets. Default OS value on most Windows platforms is too small.
    # Larger values can help if the average page size served by OHS is
    # large (~64 k)
    SendBufferSize 16384
    # KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
    # one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
    KeepAlive On
    # MaxKeepAliveRequests: The maximum number of requests to allow
    # during a persistent connection. Set to 0 to allow an unlimited amount.
    # We recommend you leave this number high, for maximum performance.
    MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
    # KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
    # same client on the same connection.
    KeepAliveTimeout 15
    # Apache on Win32 always creates one child process to handle requests. If it
    # dies, another child process is created automatically. Within the child
    # process multiple threads handle incoming requests. The next two
    # directives control the behaviour of the threads and processes.
    # MaxRequestsPerChild: the number of requests each child process is
    # allowed to process before the child dies. The child will exit so
    # as to avoid problems after prolonged use when Apache (and maybe the
    # libraries it uses) leak memory or other resources. On most systems, this
    # isn't really needed, but a few (such as Solaris) do have notable leaks
    # in the libraries. For Win32, set this value to zero (unlimited)
    # unless advised otherwise.
    # NOTE: This value does not include keepalive requests after the initial
    # request per connection. For example, if a child process handles
    # an initial request and 10 subsequent "keptalive" requests, it
    # would only count as 1 request towards this limit.
    MaxRequestsPerChild 0
    # Number of concurrent threads (i.e., requests) the server will allow.
    # Set this value according to the responsiveness of the server (more
    # requests active at once means they're all handled more slowly) and
    # the amount of system resources you'll allow the server to consume.
    ThreadsPerChild 50
    # Server-pool size regulation. Rather than making you guess how many
    # server processes you need, Apache dynamically adapts to the load it
    # sees --- that is, it tries to maintain enough server processes to
    # handle the current load, plus a few spare servers to handle transient
    # load spikes (e.g., multiple simultaneous requests from a single
    # Netscape browser).
    # It does this by periodically checking how many servers are waiting
    # for a request. If there are fewer than MinSpareServers, it creates
    # a new spare. If there are more than MaxSpareServers, some of the
    # spares die off. The default values are probably OK for most sites.
    #MinSpareServers 5
    #MaxSpareServers 20
    # Limit on total number of servers running, i.e., limit on the number
    # of clients who can simultaneously connect --- if this limit is ever
    # reached, clients will be LOCKED OUT, so it should NOT BE SET TOO LOW.
    # It is intended mainly as a brake to keep a runaway server from taking
    # the system with it as it spirals down...
    #MaxClients 150
    # Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
    # ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
    # directive.
    #Listen 3000
    #Listen 12.34.56.78:80
    # BindAddress: You can support virtual hosts with this option. This directive
    # is used to tell the server which IP address to listen to. It can either
    # contain "*", an IP address, or a fully qualified Internet domain name.
    # See also the <VirtualHost> and Listen directives.

    # The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'

    # in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
    # virtual host being defined.
    # Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. Certain firewall

    # Apache parses all CGI scripts for the shebang line by default.
    # This comment line, the first line of the script, consists of the symbols
    # pound (#) and exclamation (!) followed by the path of the program that
    # can execute this specific script. For a perl script, with perl.exe in
    # the C:\Program Files\Perl directory, the shebang line should be:
    #!c:/program files/perl/perl
    # Note you mustnot_ indent the actual shebang line, and it must be the
    # first line of the file. Of course, CGI processing must be enabled by
    # the appropriate ScriptAlias or Options ExecCGI directives for the files
    # or directory in question.
    # However, Apache on Windows allows either the Unix behavior above, or can
    # use the Registry to match files by extention. The command to execute
    # a file of this type is retrieved from the registry by the same method as
    # the Windows Explorer would use to handle double-clicking on a file.
    # These script actions can be configured from the Windows Explorer View menu,
    # 'Folder Options', and reviewing the 'File Types' tab. Clicking the Edit
    # button allows you to modify the Actions, of which Apache 1.3 attempts to
    # perform the 'Open' Action, and failing that it will try the shebang line.
    # This behavior is subject to change in Apache release 2.0.
    # Each mechanism has it's own specific security weaknesses, from the means

    Firstly, there's no such thing as Apache 9.3, there's Apache 1 (and subversions) and Apache 2 (and subversions). Your error message -
    Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28Shows you're using Apache 1.3.28
    Secondly, I'm confused by your comment -
    I do not have Apache 9.3 or higher but I think oracle should offer this in its companion CDOracle does offer the Apache server, if you're saying you didn't get it from Oracle then where did your Apache server come from?
    Thirdly, I notice from your config file -
    ErrorLog "|E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache\bin\rotatelogs logs/error_log 43200"That you're piping the logs through rotatelogs, are you sure the logfiles haven't just been renamed?

  • File download/upload howto

    Regarding the Fil upload/download at
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_file_upload.html
    How can I add a 'Delete' button next to each file in the Download report region to delete that file from the wwv_flow_files table?
    Thanks

    You need to pass the ID of the file you want to
    to delete. Take a look at
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11602:1 .
    How can I pass the id of the file? I thought that would be in the session state :DEL (which is what I aliased the id column to in the report region), thats why I did 'delete from wwv_flow_files where id=:DEL'
    Few questions, if you dont mind.
    1. How do you get your After header process code to show up on the page?
    2. Where do you set your :P1_DEL?
    3. How do you get your 'Delete File' text box to be displayed in that fashion? My after header process's success messges just gets displayed with a green checkmark next to it. How can I change the formatting like you did?
    4. Where did you get the 'Upload' button gif? Does that come with HTMLDB? Or did you pick it up from the Internet and upload it?
    5. Regarding the upload button, is that displayed in a 'region position' or 'among the region's items'? I have never seen it in that position!
    Thanks for your continued help. I appreciate it.

  • Downloading BLOB from a table.

    Hello,
    First I want to say thatnks for such a great tool like HTMLDB.
    Question is:
    How do I download BLOB from a table. What I am trying to do is. I am uploading files to a default HTMLDB location (wwv_flow_file_objects$) and moving the records to different table (delete file from wwv_file_objects$). Then I would like to be able to download that blobs from a DB by following some link. And I need it to be secure, user have to authenticate to do it. I got to the point where I created process (before header) to download the file. But I am having hard time passing some variables to that process in URL. Can some one advice me on the best practice of doing it. And also if it is a right thing to use before header process to put my own header and start uploading blob in html db. The main reason I do not whant to use DAD for that is simple security issue and ability of storing of the BLOBs only in one table. I prefer to upload it to a temporary location and then move it to other table(s). Then I need to be able to retriev the files back from those tables without moving them around.
    Any help is greatly appriciated

    i think i see what you're asking, but i'll step through the pieces just to make sure i cover your issue:
    it sounds as if you have a procedure that successfully calls wpg_docload.download_file to get your blob out of your images table. for this explanation, lets just say your images table has the same table structure as wwv_flow_files created with something like...
    create table myfiles as select * from wwv_flow_files where rownum < 3;
    ....and let's say your download proc that passed the blob from your myfiles table to wpg_docload.download_file looked something like...
    create or replace procedure getmyfile(
    p_id in varchar2,
    p_mime_type in varchar2 default null)
    as
    l_lob blob;
    l_mimetype varchar2(48);
    l_mime_charset varchar2(255);
    l_filename varchar2(400);
    begin
    select mime_type, blob_content, filename, file_charset
    into l_mimetype, l_lob, l_filename, l_mime_charset
    from myfiles
    where id = p_id;
    if l_mime_charset is not null then
    owa_util.mime_header( l_mimetype, FALSE, l_mime_charset );
    else
    owa_util.mime_header( l_mimetype, FALSE );
    end if;
    htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength( l_lob ));
    htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' ||
    wwv_flow_utilities.escape_url( p_url => l_filename, p_url_charset => 'utf-8') || '"');
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    wpg_docload.download_file( l_lob );
    end;
    ...then it sounds as if this is where you start running into issues. to be able to call this procedure from the url, you'd have to grant execute on your getmyfile proc to the db user that your modplsql DAD uses to access your db. once that user was given access to run getmyfile, you could access your files in myfiles by calling a URL like...
    http://myserver.com/pls/mydad/myschema.getmyfile?p_id=1005529367869246
    ...where p_id is the unique id associated with your blob in getmyfiles (you could, of course, use whatever method you want to uniquely identify that file and adjust your select-into statement w/in your getmyfile procedure). so that's all fine and dandy, but it sounds as if you want users to have to authenticate into your html db application before they can access a blob in your images table. it also sounds as if you're on the right track to do so by putting your procedure call in a before_header html db process. you could quite easily call your getmyfile procedure in such an html db pl/sql before_header process with something like...
    begin
    getmyfile (p_id => 1008411584930314);
    end;
    ...which would cause your page to just show the blob associated with the id you passed to getmyfile. because you're now accessing your blob table through html db parsing as your application schema owner, you'd no longer need to grant execute on getmyfile to your modplsql DAD's db user. that eliminates most of the security hole to which you were referring. now that you're calling getmyfile from w/in an html db process, you can take advantage of all the other html db perks such as applying conditions and an authorization scheme to the html db process to really lock things down. finally, you asked about firing your process before_header versus other firing points. before_header is a good way to go, but if you really wanted to execute other procedural logic on your page before showing the blob (and you didn't want to implement that code as before_header processes that fire sequentially before your getmyfile call),you could just throw an htp.init in right before your getmyfile call to clear out your http buffer like so...
    begin
    htp.init;
    getmyfile (p_id => 1008411584930314);
    end;
    ...hope this helps,
    raj

  • Uploading and downloading blobs without wwv_flow_files

    Hi,
    I am currently working on oracle 10g database and application express.
    i went throu the material to upload and download images, pdf from a htmldb book.
    it was excellent material. but the book only gave example about loading and downloading images, pdf through flows_files.wwv_flow_files view.
    it seemed like we can only d/l the pdf, images and display on htmldb report only throu flows_files.wwv_flow_files view, as in the case of the script below
    select
       wff.id, htf.anchor( 'p?n=' || wff.id, wff.filename ) filename_1,
       wff.filename filename_2, ed.abstract abstract
    from
       wwv_flow_files wff, easy_document ed
    where
       wff.name = ed.name;but is there a way to load and download images, pdfs from my own tables without the involvement of flows_files schema.
    if then how can i modify the above code to get the pdf from the following table
    TableA (vessel number, cruise number, pdf blob)
    here for every (vessel, cruise) combination there is a pdf.
    how can i get this pdf displayed in my htmldb report.
    Can someone guide me please.
    Thanks,
    Philip.

    Hi,
    I tried the document link you gave and it looks like, i can directly download pdfs from my own tables without needding to upload to wwv_flow_files_objecst$ table.
    i modified the procedure in the document accroding to my requirements and it worked.
    in my page i show a grid with the parameters and the pdf documentname as download link.
    when i click on the link a popup window with the option to save or open comes up.
    but the popup window shows the filename as my procedure name through which i pass the id for the pdf document instaed of the filename which is shown as download link on the page.
    How can i change this popup window filename to the default file name shown in the download link.
    so that everytime i select the parameters, the page shows the pdf filename as link and on clicking the link the popup window should be able to show the same name shown as link.
    i think this can be set either at the procedure level or at the page level.
    and this is the following contents of the procedure
    --        SET UP HTTP HEADER
                   -- use an NVL around the mime type and
                   -- if it is a null set it to application/octect
                   -- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
                   owa_util.mime_header( nvl('PDF','application/octet'), FALSE );
                    -- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
                     htp.p('Content-length: ' || B_LEN);
                    -- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
    -- htp.p('Content-Disposition:  attachment; filename="'||'CR'||VES||CRU||'.PDF'|| '"');
                    -- close the headers           
                    owa_util.http_header_close;
                    -- download the BLOB
                    wpg_docload.download_file( BREP );and this is what i did at the page level. for that particular column i went to link option and the foll is what i gave:
    Link Text: CR#VESSEL##CRUISE#.PDF
    Link Attributes: target="_blank"
    URL: #OWNER#.PROC_DOWNLOAD_PDFS?V=#VESSEL#&C=#CRUISE#
    Here the link text is the filename that i wanted to show when saving the file.
    Can someone guid eme please.
    Thanks,
    Philip.

  • Download Dialog Box in Page Process

    I know this has been beat to death, but I just can't get it working. I am using Apex 3.0 on iAS 10g on Unix
    I have a report that displays locations and map coordinates and a check box for each line.
    The user checks the lines they want to "Map" and then presses an image button that is within the region items.
    When the button is pressed, this kicks off a Page Process. I do not want put an upload dialog box. I want to write data to a file, then display a dialog box, so the user can save the file wherever they want. The code writes out to the file just fine.
    The Page Process looks like:
    Declare
    v_kml_file Utl_File.File_Type;
    v_dir VarChar2(1000) := 'KML';
    v_name VarChar2(100);
    Begin
    v_kml_file := Utl_File.FOpen(v_dir,'sample.kml','W');
    Utl_File.Put_Line(v_kml_file,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>');
    Utl_File.Put_Line(v_kml_file,'<kml xmlns="http://earth.goodle.com/kml/2.1">');
    more Utl_File.Put_lines here
    -- write out the checked lines
    For i In 1..htmldb_application.g_f15.count Loop
    Utl_File.Put_Line(v_kml_file,'htmldb_application.g_f15(i));

    htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="sample.kml"');
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    wpg_docload.download_file(v_dir||'sample.kml');
    End;
    When this executes I get The page cannot be found. The url is then http://www.my.website/pls/htmldb/wwv_flow.accept
    I have tried hard-coding the path, using the relative path (the directory is located under htdocs), etc. I've tried using javascript as in examples on this forum. We upload and download documents using packages we have built, but I can't see how to use them for this.
    Any help is appreciated,

    John,
    Yes, I looked at that previously. When I implement it, I receive the error ORA-01460: Unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested. Essentially, the code looks like this:
    Declare
    v_dir2 VarChar2(200) := '/vol/my/directory/htdocs/MYDIR/'; -- tried w/wout the last slash
    x_bfile BFILE;
    n_size Number := 2000;
    x_buffer raw (2000);
    n_pos Number := 1;
    Begin
    x_bfile := BFILENAME(v_dir2,'sample.kml');
    --write stuff out to file
    Begin
    Loop
    dbms_lob.read(x_bfile, n_size, n_pos, x_buffer);
    wpg_docload.download_file(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(x_buffer));

  • Securing file download links

    As per the File upload/download How-to at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14377/up_dn_files.htm#sthref153
    downloading a file involves writing a stored procedure and invoking it directly using the DAD and mod_plsql. For example, /pls/htmldb/owner.procedure?p_file_id=1234
    This link bypasses the Apex show engine so even if I have all the security in the world in Apex using authentication schemes, authorization schemes, etc, a authenticated user in Apex can just right click on the Download link, shoot it off to someone else who can download the file without even logging in to my application!
    How can these "download links" be secured so that only authenticated users can access them only from an Apex session?

  • Download to excel from web report generated through ITS

    We were on SAP 4.6B. We have several abap reports for which we have a web interface using ITS. On the broweser output we have provided a URL which reads 'Download to CSV file' . This has been achieved by modifying the function www_get_report. The mod first generates a unique filename and exports the name to the memory and generates the hyperlink. The abap report program ftp'ies a the csv file to the ITS server path as in the URL.
    Now we have upgraded to ECC 5.0 and we want to achieve the download to CSV option without the modification. What would be the best way to achieve this in the netweaver platform.

    Sofia,
    The same report query runs for downloading the data into excel, I don't think you can limit the number of records in download.
    You can achieve it using custom code, like on click of download excel redirect to another page and then restrict the data as per your need, or you can use the custom procedure to download the limited data.
