No "file - send to" with excel inplace

In excel (Version excel 97) I can send files via "file - send to - email" which starts my email client and attaches the xls file to the mail.
When I use excel inplace in an abap program this option is not available. I still can see it, but it is grey and I cannot choose it
Is it possible to activate this options? I use the methods of desktop office integration to get excel inplace and fill it with data (i_oi_container_control, i_oi_document_proxy, i_oi_spreadsheet).

Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

Hi all,
Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues and communications are fine
Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
No messages appear in the RWB
Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for your responses.
I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
Scenario 1
When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg /Folder/Subfolder the error message is as follows
EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
Scenario 2
When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg Folder/Subfolder a different error message is returned
Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
Questions
I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Please advise on next course of action?
Regards,
Mike

File Sender adapter with File content conversion

Hi
I'm having problems picking up a flat file that has some junk characters in the file.
I'm usign a file sender adapter with file content conversion. The adapters shows the following error-
Conversion of complete file content of to XML format failed around position 0: sun.io.MalformedInputException
this is the sample data with junk char's -
A20099201009999009999060815160505051700130008151vÿÿÿÿ³ r 0OK0476 31N016227241915840IV 00840 ÿÿÿ ÿ ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ ÿ ÿÿÿ
There is not much in the file content conversion. This is a fixed length file, I'm just pickign it up & passing it to an inbound proxy. All my processing is in the proxy.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
Rachana

Hi Rachana,
Do you use a specific "encoding" like UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 in your Sender CC?
To be simple, Encoding is linked to country, you can find all "iso-nnnn" via google or some of them in sap help.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
Moreover, with your source file opened thanks to Notepad (for instance), use option "save UNDER", you will the encoding use by your file

File Sender Adapter with FTP protocol

Hi,
I implementet a file sender adapter with FTP protocol. There is a problem: the sender processes the files even if they're in use by another application.
I.E. If another application put files (via ftp) in the sender work directory (that is on ftp), the sender processes those files before their transfer is completed.
I don't want that this sender in a communication channel in PI 7.1, imports files in the system when they aren't completed yet.
There are some ways to block sender before it processes incompleted files (in an ftp)?
Thanks
Matteo

Hi,
File sender adapter provides a check for NFS mode
+Check this
To specify additional parameters in the adapter configuration, set the Advanced Modeindicator.
● Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check
Enter the number of milliseconds that the adapter must wait before it checks whether the files have been changed.
This parameter is not available if you have selected File Content Conversion as the Message Protocoland then made an entry under Recordsets per Message that splits an input file into several messages.
This parameter is applicable only for the File adapter. If you enter a value in this field when configuring the sender FTP adapter, it will have no effect.+
Other approach can be to apply OS level checks

Vishal,
Couple of questions.
How are you sending this message. Is it a message that you create and send Internally with an attachment.
As you reply me, please also check if the Attachments folder has been set under Administration > System Initialization > General Settings.....Path Tab
SBO tries to copy the attachment from the location you select to the Path defined for Attachments.
Let me know

Problem in excel format while sending mail with excel attachment.

Hi Gurus ,
I am sending a email with Excel attachment using FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 or SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I am able to send a mail with excel attachment with a piece of code which I got from SDN itself.
But the problem is when I am trying to open the attachment, A pop up comes which says that it is not in recognizable format. Would you like to open it?
and several other lines of caution.
When i choose to open it, i get the correct data in one excel sheet. Certain vertical lines of the excel sheet is missing. But no data is missing. 
I am attaching the code below. Can any one please tell me where is the problem in this code ?
Thanx in advance

Error in Sending Mail with excel attachment

Hi All,
While sending a mail with excel attachment it is getting successfully send but when i am opening the excel it gives a popup saying "The file is not in recognizable format", and when i click OK the data is getting displayed.
So anybody has any idea of how to remove the popup??
I am using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 FM for sending the mail.
Can anybody help me regarding this.
Thanks
Salish

Hi,
I was facing the issue when I did not populate the parameters packing_list, object_header,contents_bin, contents_txt of the FM
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 properly.
Also the possible cause could be the configuration in SCOT, not very sure about this. Check with the BASIS guy.

File association problem with excel

hi everybody,
i have the following annoying little problem, couldn't find any answers so far in the forum:
i have some downloaded files (just plain text files) that i call ".in", and finder lists those as "microsoft excel binary document". now i want to associate those files to open with textwrangler as standard app. if i get information for those files and set "open with" to textwrangler, as soon as i click "change all" it reverts the application in the "open with" box to "microsoft excel", meaning i can never change the filetype permanently.
anybody know what i might be doing wrong, or what i can do to make the change stick?
thanks

Hi Gopal,
There is a a column width optimize function of SLIS ALV layout.
colwidth_optimize(1) type c
but, i am not sure if it works.
Also, when the report is generated, there is an option in the menu.
Go to "Setting --> Columns --> Optimize Width"
With this, it optimizes the column width based on data width but when you download, it reverts to the dictionary field length.

Vivek
