Call http url in Abap - Should not open Browser

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement where i need to check whether a perticular http service is running or not. For that i need a some code to call http url from abap and it should not open the browser. If that perticular url is not found or time out then i should know that in program...
Is there any way to do that..

just run the following url (after changing the values for host,etc) from browser
http://<abaphost>.<domain>.com:<port>/sap/public/ping
to get the values for http://<abaphost>.<domain>.com:<port> just go to transaction se80 and choose bsp application option and choose any existing bsp application and then doubl click on a page. on the right side click on the attributes tab and at the end you can find the url

Execute URL from ABAP (no gui session)

I have an RFC function module which I am calling from Visual Composer application. The function module is designed to execute and external URL using method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute. However, I am getting an exception error NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI because from Visual Composer there is no SAP gui session open. I have tried some other function modules like WF_WINDOWS_EXECUTE, PRGN_GENER_EXECUTE_URL, CALL_BROWSER...etc but they are all designed to work with gui session only.
Is there any other class or function module that I can use to resolve this issue (w/ example please)?

Hi,
For opening a url through ABAP,
Try using a sample code below:
DATA: BEGIN OF URL_TABLE OCCURS 0,
         L(35),
       END OF URL_TABLE.
url_table-l = 'http://www.abc.com'.
APPEND url_table.
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_EXECUTE'
   EXPORTING
     program        = 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE'
     commandline    = url_table
     inform         = ''
   EXCEPTIONS
     prog_not_found = 1.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
   WRITE:/ 'Cannot find program to open Internet'.
ENDIF.
Hope it helps

Opening url rebuffering stream when previewing songs

How can I fix music previews that play for 3 seconds and then give me an error: opening url rebuffering stream? I never had this issue, and haven't changed anything. What's wrong?

I've been having the same probelm for about 6 months. On itunes 10 and 11. This appears to be a problem that goes back to years which tell sme Apple simply does not care. There are many threads like this one with no answers. I'm going to have to find another app to listen to online radio. I love Apple but sometime ther really can fracking suck.

Open url in a new browser via a button

I have created a button within a region and set request='go'. I then have a branch that when request='go', it branches to a url. Is there a way to open a new window when it branches to that url? Basically, I'm trying to open a new browser to go to a specified url when a button is clicked.

Yes no problem,
call an javscript function, which open the new window. that function can get as parameter the item value (eg. the URl text)
function callMyPopupTest(url)
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=1100,height=350");
if (w.opener == null) w.opener = self;
w.focus();
this should work
In this excample the URL is static for the button.
If not you have to solve the problem inside the javscript function with getting the value of the item (the url text)
document.getElementById('P21_URL').value;
for that the javascript function parameter has to be the id(eg. name: P21_URL).
hope that helps

Open URL in a new window by closing the parent window

Hi Friends,
Is there any option to open URL in a new window by closing the parent window on a button click?
Already implemented the logics suggested in /people/mohammed.anzys/blog/2007/06/05/how-to-close-parent-window-in-webdynpro-applications , the thread ' URL in same window ' and the standard component WDR_TEST_EXIT_PLUG .But button is not triggerring any actions .plz help me ..............
Regards,
Radhika

hi,
Do the following steps :
-> Make an Outbound Plug to the Window.
->Make the type of Outbound plug to Exit Type.
->Add URL of type String as a parameter to the outbound plug of Window.
->Do remember to add Component Name in the Properties Tab of View ( othervs Calling Outbound plug of window from view wont b possible ).
To open a new URL with closing the previous one write this Code in OnAction of Button : ( this Code can be get from Code Wizard too ).
DATA lo_zexit TYPE REF TO ig_zexit .   <zexit is name of my Component>
lo_zexit =   wd_this->get_zexit_ctr( ).
lo_zexit->fire_out_window_plg(
    url =   'http://www.google.com'                            " string
I hope it helps.
Thanx.

Open url from xchat in opera

I'd like to open urls from xchat in opera.
Under settings>advanced>url handler:
!opera -remote 'openURL(%s)'
xchat has tcl as an optional dep, so I installed that.
This is in xfce4 and I have set opera as the preferred browser.

Well, I'm afraid that is not an option.
The goButton is in a table row. There are lots of rows so if I use EL for Destination attribute the URL would be retrieved for each of rows.
The method of URL retreiving is heavyweight operation which includes calling plsql functions, working with strings and others. So if I do it for each table row my application hungs and then I receive an exception of CPU usage.
That's why I switched to normal commandButton witch actionListener which retrieves url on click - only once. So I need to open URL from Java.

Open URL from Java in a new browser tab

Hi OTN,
Surprisingly can't find the implimintation.
In an ADF managed bean I retrieve String url. I need to open a new browser tab with this url.
Found this thread Open a url in a new window in the backing bean which shows using javascript "service.addScript(facesContext, "window.open(http://www.google.coml)");".
But in my case in doesn't work. The code is executed, but nothing happens. Maybe because the bean is called from a taskflow inline popup.
ADF 11.1.1.4
Thanks.

Captivate 4 Open url from a button not working?

Hi All,
I have published a scorm course from captivate 4 and have installed to our servers. I would like to have a link to a document that is online (.doc) but whenever I click the transparent button it starts to load, opens a window (which has the correct title name) but then disappears with no warning or error message.
The link resides behind a transparent button, and has the settings On Success open url or file in a new window. I know the problem is not specific to this document because I have had the same problem with a completly different online file location in the past.
Please Help!!
Many thanks in advance.
Chris Maile

Hi there
Please send me a private E-Mail message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and advise of the exact file name of the file you are linking to.
I'll send you back a file that you can use to test and see if the link works.

Open URL from a Captivate generated MP4

Hello all,
I am putting together an instructional video (.mp4) using Captivate 5.5, the video will be targeting iOS users.
I will need to provide a way to open some webpages while the end user is playing the mp4 file. My thought was to include a button with an assigned action to "Open URL or file" and specify the URL.
This does not seem to work after publishing to mp4 format. Is that feature not supported in Captivate mp4 files? Or did I forget a step maybe? Is there a workaround to achieve the same result?
I'd appreciate any input on this.

Hi there
Unless something has changed recently, it is my understanding that MP4 is strictly a video format and does not support hyperlinking or other types of interactivity.
Cheers... Rick

Why do we use open URL in default browser function? What are the uses of it?

Why do we use "open URL in default browser" function? What are the uses of it?

Okay.
So can we keep a web button to access the www.ni.com ? So that web site opens only when button pressed?
P.S I,m a newbie.
Yes, you can also, e.g. include a help file or manual as html and open that in the browser.

It's called potential deadlock. The emulator blocks your app 'cause any connection and commandAction needs its own thread. So I suggest use a new thread with this http connection then your program will be run successful.

Error opening URL Error on a Mac

So is this happening to anyone else?
I do a test movie from my Mac and when the movie I’m
testing needs to load an external file I get the following error
message:
Error opening URL
"ETC:Users:michael:Current:cvs:Gigapets:launch:banner_main.swf/xml/home.xml"
This happens on my Mac alone mind you, everyone else's in the
office works fine.
It doesn’t matter if I am loading an xml file through
the XML object, or a swf or jpg file through the loadMovie
functions, it always gives me this error when I load files with a
relative path on my local machine.
I am running Flash 8 on OS 10.3.9

In this particular example I am using this code to start the
xml file load:
// now load the XML file that contains the content strings
var sXMLFile:String = "xml/home.xml";
var xmlContent:XML = new XML();
xmlContent.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlContent.onLoad = onXMLLoadComplete;
xmlContent.load( sXMLFile );
But I don’t think the code is the problem here . This
happens on every file I load when I am using a relative path to the
content, regardless of how I load the content (XML object,
loadMovie, MovieClipLoader, etc…) and the same code executes
perfectly on every other machine in the office(Mac and PC).
I’m more concerned with the semi-colons and .swf filename
that Flash is putting into my relative path on the error message.
Is that normal?
