Problem to launch browser from URL
Hi All,
I need to launch a web browser from a URL (to send the user from ESS to a benefits provider web site). I created the resource and the service for the URL in the IMG on R/3 and set it to open the URL on a separate page. I created the links to the URL and they show fine on the iview, but when I click on them, nothing happens. Does anybody know what I am missing? Do I need to create a URL iview for this? Or how do I do it?
I will appreciate any help on this.
Nagaraju,
thanks for the help. The thred you sent me linked me to another thred which is the one that actually gave me the answer to my problem, but either way you helped me solve the issue. I tried to give you full points but I get an error message that the item is locked for rewarding points, sorry. Either way, this item has been solved.
Thank you.

Launching Browser from Java when Browser URL is very long
Hi,
I am trying to launch a browser from Java.
I am doing the following.
String command = "cmd" + "/c" + "start" + " browserURL";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime()exec(command);
Note: My browserURL is very long.
Now the browser is invoked. But the URL shown is incomplete and hence
browser is unable to open the required application.
Can someone help me in this.
One way is to increase the buffer size on the command prompt?
Is there any java command for this?
Is there any other way to solve this issue.
Thanks,

How do you launch browser from a servlet
I have an interesting issue here. I send data to a servlet and the servlet recieves and processes the data (confirmed through breakpoints) but I want to display the data in a JSP or directly thru the servlet using html tags.
However I can forward or redirect the data from the servlet to my jsp code but this still doesn't launch a browser.
A little more detail... I am not sending information from a JSP to the servlet. The servlet is listening on a port for input, so the servlet is being invoked directly when the data comes in. In the current state my servlet sends the results in a session object to a JSP which gets the results but can't display them since it doesn't launch browser.
Does anybody know how to display my calculated results from the servlet in a browser?Ok let me try to be more specific. I have an application that sends data to the servlet over a socket connection. The servlet gets this data and multiplies it by a factor.
When I put break points in, I see that the servlet gets this data.
Now I am trying to display the data in a browser.
Upon entry to doGet the servlet checks if the String variable that gets the parameter is not null. If it is not null then it forwards to a JSP.
But I tried a scenario where I have a browser open that has the localhost address of the servlet and then I run the program which is outside the war file that contains the servlet to send data to the servlet, but when the servlet gets the data, it does the forward to the JSP but the page is not displayed. However I see the process move to the JSP thru the break points I put in.
I know its kind of a weird scenario but I suspect that since the program calls the servlet and it gets the data, it must need to launch a new browser in order to be able to display the JSP it forwarded to.
I could be wrong but so far I have exhausted all possible ideas in my head for now so if you understand what I am saying perhaps you can tell me if you know a better way to do this...
Thanks -
CTS+ in PI 7.10 - problem starting cts browser from stms
Hi folks!
We have successfully configured and tested CTS+ for PI 7.1 ESR and ID objects as well as for 7.1 SLD objects. So far the world is "brave".
But we have one little issue and after scanning SMP and SDN it seems as if we are the only ones all over the world having this problem.
When we launch the CTS Browser (Transport Organizer WebUI) from ESR, ID and/or SLD and/or manually by entering the URL in the browser the CTS browser starts as desired. But when we try to start it from within ABAP transaction STMS (via Icon or via F7) only an empty browser window is launched, but not the CTS borwser in it.
Has anybody any ideas what's going on here?
Thanx in advance,
Regards,
VolkerHi Volker,
This will work with SAP GUI SP09 or higher.

Launching BSP from url in email
Happy New Year,
I have a page that automatically generates an e-mail and sends it out to a user. Inside that e-mail is a link to a page from the same BSP application where the e-mail was created. When I click the link, it launches the correct page, but it gives me the message, "An internal error occurred. Please try again later."
I call the .do file, in which it calls the .bsp file.
I have tried to debug the class method Do Init(), but it's like it doesn't get to it before it crashes. What could be causing this problem? This is an MVC BSP.
Is there some documentation out there on this?
Best regards,
KevinHi Kevin
I am afraid this approach will not work...
The eRecruitment 3.0 BSP pages were developed prior to the completion of the full MVC implementation by SAP. As a result they have created their own controllers which inherit from the CL_BSP_CONTROLLER2 standard controller class. These controller classes link into other HRRCF classes at runtime, it is therefore not possible to call the individual pages directly.
You can only call the eRecruitment pages from outside a current session in two ways. The first is via a start page and the second is via an HRRCF logical application.
The ABAP report RCF_GENRATE_URL and RCF_GENERATE_URLS will give you some idea of the possible entry points. RCF_GENERATE_URL can be called to give the required URL for either a given start page or a given logical application.
Adding new logical applications can be achieved by configuring table T77RCF_LOG_APPL and T77RF_LOG_APPLT. The new logical application must have a stand along controller, to see an example of these look at the BSP application HRRCF_PERS_SETT where you will find the controller MAIN_SA.DO [ SA stands for stand alone ] on occasions were no separate controller is required for stand alone use you may find the the main controller [ with _M ] will be called.
All pages will be called via the base application HRRCF_START_INT [ for users known to the system ] or HRRCF_START_EXT [ user external to the system ]. These applications will instantiate the necessary framework before calling the logical application or start application pages...
You can see this from the URLs when browsing the system. Normally you will be pointing at /hrrcf_start_int/application.do OR /hrrcf_start_ext/application.do
Hope that helps

Launching EAS from URL not working on client machine.
We are on version 11.1.1.4. When I use EAS URL on the server it is working fine. But when I use from a different machine other than the server it is not working, after selecting the "locale country" and clicking launch button it is giving the following error. i checked the java version also and client machine is on 1.6. I also tried on different IE versions. But from the same client machine I am able to connect through the installed version of EAS.
Is something I need to open ports or anything like that. Please let me know your suggestions or comments.
HTTP Status 404 -
type status report
description the requested resource () is not available
Hyperion embedded java container/1.0.0
Thanks,Shiva -- Java version on the server and the client machine is same which is 1.6.0_24.
That is good point about the network. Actually the client and the server are not in the same network but I opened ports on the network router as well as I disabled windows firewall on the server to make sure it is not creating the problem. -
Launching Browser From Swing Application - Help Needed
Hi,
I am opening a HTML file in Internet Explorer from my swing application.
I am using the code given below
private final static String WIN_FLAG = "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler";
private final static String WIN_PATH = "rundll32";
String cmd = WIN_PATH + " " + WIN_FLAG + " " + url;
// url is HTML file Path
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd );
The HTML file is opening up,but it always opens behind the swing application,that makes me every time to maximize the HTML file after it being opened up.
I want to open it in front of the Swing Application.
Any Help Please ?

Problem with opening browser from Java app.
Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so please excuse me if I'm wrong. I'm trying to open an html page (it's a help file) from a Java application. I'm currently using java.awt.Desktop. browse(URI uri); which gets the job done, as long as I don't pass any parameters to the page. (e.g. http://www.site.com/site.html?param1=1). Doing that gives me an IOException. Is there a way to do this without using the JNLP API?
This is the file path copied directly from the browser's address bar:
file:///home/riaan/EMCHelp/Help.html?page=WorkFlowActivityCategory.html"{code}
Which causes the app to throw an exception, but when I change it to:
{code}file:///home/riaan/EMCHelp/Help.html{code}
it opens Help.html in the browser. That's why I thought that it might be the query that's a problem. Perhaps it's a simple issue of not escaping a character or something that I failed to see. -
Problem loading & displaying images from URL
hi,
I can't manage to display an image into a component from a url... here is what my code looks like :
public class ImageComponent extends JComponent{
private ImageIcon imageIcon;
public void paint(Graphics g){
if(imageIcon!=null){
imageIcon.paintIcon(this, g, posX, posY);
private void loadsImage(String imageURL){
imageIcon = new javax.swing.ImageIcon(imageURL);
invalidate();
}when I call loadImage with a proper url, the image doesn't seem to be loaded...
it might be that the image is big and long to come (also my connection isn't that fast)... but forcing the repaint of the component (by hiding/showin the component's window) after a good while doesn't do much...
can anybody tell me where I'm doing wrong...
cheers,
DrLeinsterhi,
looks like PaintComponent() instead of paint did the job.
thanks a million..
for those interested in loading images, I find ImageIcon very limited and at the end I found a better solution :
public class ImageComponent extends JComponent implements ImageObserver{
private Image image;
public void loadImage(URL imageURL){
image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imageURL);
prepareImage(image,getWidth(),getHeight(), this);
public boolean imageUpdate(Image img, int infoflags, int x, int y, int width, int height){
System.out.print("."); // loading progress...
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
if(image!=null){
g.drawImage(image,0,0,null);
}it is far nicer as it displays dots while loading... up to you to attach progress bars or favorit loading guizmo...

Problem accessing a file from URL connection
My swing application uses a file(5MB).
I tried to open an inputStrem to this file using following codes:
URL u = new URL("http://..../myfile.jat");
URLConnection uconn = u.openConnection();
InputStream iin = uconn.getInputStream();
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(iin);
System.out.println(iin.available());
But it gives me available number of bytes sometimes 6761 and sometimes
1711. But I need the available # of bytes to be equal to 5B.
can anybody tell me how I can do that?
thanksI think this got posted in the wrong forum, but at any rate: the "available()" method tells you how much data is available to be read at this instant. As soon as you read that data, more data will become available. Write a loop that reads repeatedly until there is no more data available.

How do I launch report from menu using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?
Hi all,
Re: How do I launch report from menu (and have it print to the screen) using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?
I am using Oracle 9iAS on Windows 2000 and I have a similar problem with launching reports from the menu. The application should call the report via the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT builtin feature from Forms. The report is never displayed.
The report is in the same folder as the menu form calling it. Do the reports have to be in a specific format? How do I get the report_id?
The name of the report is seconds_calls. No user-specified parameters are passed. Also, the report object in the object navigator in Forms is Report4 (is this relevant?)
When I try to run report via the form using this code:
DECLARE
report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
rep_status VARCHAR2(200);
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
report_job_id VARCHAR2(200);
-- job_number NUMBER;
-- server_name VARCHAR2(200) := 'repserver';
BEGIN
report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('seconds_calls');
rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(report_job_id);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
END;
I get this error message:
FRM-41219 Cannot find report:Invalid ID
And this message
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null
When I tried to use the same code (above), substituting the object name for the form name,
I got these messages:
FRM-41219 Cannot find report:Invalid ID
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null
And FRM-10259 Invalid null argument to packaged procedure or function (???)
Any ideas?
Cheers,
PippaPhilippy,
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)
This code extracts the Reports job id from the Reports Server name. The run_report_object() built-in
retrieves e.g. RepServ_9 as a job id, but in Reports9i you only need the '9' as a value to retrieve the
output.
Use the following sample a template. It is a procedure that expects the reports object name, teh reports server name and the
output format as an argument. The call to Web.show_document expects the ReportsSrevices to be accessible from teh same server
(relative addressing is used)
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC (vc_reportobj Varchar2, vc_reportserver varchar2, vc_runformat varchar2) IS
v_report_id Report_Object;
vc_ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100); /* unique id for each Report request */
vc_rep_status VARCHAR2(100); /* status of the Report job */
vjob_id VARCHAR2(100); /* job_id as number only string*
BEGIN
/* Get a handle to the Report Object itself. */
v_report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(vc_reportobj);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
