If they've implemented the password system correctly there probably isn't a way of getting the password at all.

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.

Hi Ramesh,
It is not possible to download data in Excel file on application server. You can better download the same in tab separated text file and then convert that text file to XLS.

Thank you for looking into my problem.

Open password protected Excel Sheet?

Hi there,
numbers seems not to support password protection- is there any workaround or maybe third party helper app for that aim?
it's not about protecting a numbers document but opening an excel sheet.

Issue with reading XLSX with multiple sheets file in application Server

Hi,
We're currently implementing SAP CRM 7.40.
In one requirement we have to process an XLSX file and load its information to a set of Z tables.
The file has 6 sheets of data to process, each sheet with distinct number of columns and types (each sheet will be upload to a different Z table).
We're able to process the XLSX using the Desktop Office integration for local files.
However, we must also be able to process files on the application server.
We tried the following approaches without success
- The DOI library doesn't seem to support remote files processing:
- OPEN DATASET. with the dataset we're able to read a remote file, however since the file format is XLSX, the information we read in the dataset comes in an unreadable format
- FTP. we tried to use FTP to download the remote file to a local folder so that we could then use the DOI library to process the file. However, the client only allows SFTP connections and SAPFTP doesn't provide SFTP
There's another approache we're considering to try which is to have a perl script on the application server to split the Excel file into CSV files (one for each tab) and then use OPEN DATASET to read the contents of each file and work from there. This approach seems quite cumbersom
The approach with DOI would be the best one but either we're missing a key configuration or it truly can't be used for files. Are there any special requirements that we should take into account for this option?
We'd like to know if you have any other approach that proves successfull or if any of the above can work but with some aditional adjustments.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Create a password protected excel file

Hi everyone,
I need to create a password-protect excel sheet using plsql.
Please if some one could help me with this ??
Regards,
Riddhisha Khamesra

there is no way directly from PL/SQL to make ExcelStarting with Office 2007, Excel's default file format uses the Open XML standard (ie basically a zip archive of XML and other media files).
You can generate such files with pure PL/SQL, but adding password security is another story...
- Using a protection at the workbook level requires the creation of an encrypted archive.
- Using a protection at the worksheet level is easier because the password itself is embedded (in an encrypted form) into the sheet definition.
Prior to Office 2007, there's the "XML Spreadsheet 2003" format. It opens the way to easy XML generation but it's limited (in particular, no password support, no macro etc.).

HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air? I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007. Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files. The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files. The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again. I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files. I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

Secure the password of the schema in the application server

Hi,
my application is using one schema, and the users are stored in a table within that schema. When the user run the application, the schema password is not required since it is stored in formsweb.cfg file as userid=username/password@servicename. the problem with this, is that anyone is able to know the schema password by opening the formsweb.cfg.
is there any way to make the password invisible in the application server ?
Thanx

Hi
1. What is the version of the Oracle Fusion Middleware you are using?
2. Why would the users have access to the formsweb.cfg file?
Please provide the above info to get further assistance.

have a look at tcode cg3z and then FM 'C13Z_FILE_UPLOAD_ASCII'.
