Regarding download of files from SAP Web AS to mobile device

Hi,
We are writing an asset management application where we need to download files related to work order.
Each work order has some help files which need to be accessed while working on the work order.
Is such a file download possible in SAP Mi.
Regards
Raja Sekhar

hi Raja,
these applications are made for Laptops (for now atleast). they might support/release these applications for other hand held devices also.
i checked on the Mobile Time and Travel. they run only on Laptops. the support for others are not mentioned in the installation & configuration documents that accompany these downloads.
i believe in one of the posts in this forum, a fellow developer was trying to see if MAM was working on a PDA. Check out this Regarding applying patch for MI 2.5 SP14 on MI 2.5 SP13 client.
hope this helps!
Regards
ak.

Download a file from the web

Helo,
I have to download a file from the web and copy it to the file system (ex: download from http://172.26.20.22/test.csv to \\server01\teste.csv).
I must do this using only pl/sql and java sources, I have to do this calling a procedure from pl/sql and the server doesn't have any component installed.
I've built a java procedure using java to download the file, but it give-me AccessControlException when trying to download.
Can anyone tel me what permissions I should have to accomplish this? Is there any other easier way?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot! Your post was very helpfull.
I create a procedure do download the file from the web and record in a network share.
But I'm still having a problem while writing that each line in my source file generate a duplicate line in my destination one.
Can you help me with that problem to?
Thanks
My procedure is below:
create or replace procedure SP_DOWNLOAD(astr_url_orig varchar2, astr_cam_dest varchar2, astr_nome_arq_dest varchar2) is
l_pagina utl_http.html_pieces;
l_arquivo utl_file.file_type;
begin
l_pagina := utl_http.request_pieces(astr_url_orig);
l_arquivo := utl_file.fopen(astr_cam_dest, astr_nome_arq_dest, 'W');
for i in 1 .. l_pagina.count
loop
utl_file.put_nchar(l_arquivo, l_pagina(i));
dbms_output.put_line(l_pagina(i));
end loop;
utl_file.fclose(l_arquivo);
end SP_DOWNLOAD;

When i download a file from the web i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I change anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

every time i download a file from the web (ie. a PDF file) i get "Anti-Virus Program not found " message. This has been happening since I changed anti-virus programs for CA etrust to Sophos. How do I get Firefox to recognise my new Anti-virus program?

That is a very good warning provided by the Download Statusbar extension. Something like that should been built into Firefox. I filed this Bug report a couple of years ago, about the lack of a warning like that. <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480855 <br />
I have looked everywhere that I can think of to find a list of '''IOfficeAntiVirus providers''' ''(as mentioned in the Bug report)'' that will work with Firefox, so I can't answer that for you.
You might want to ask the developer of the Download Statusbar extension about it. He might know which AV programs are compatible with the Windows API that Firefox uses for the download scan. <br />

Downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites U-R-G-E-N-T

Hi,
Since last year I encounter regular (close to 100%) problems downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites (for sure web-sites from which I could troubleless download PDF files in the past) The result on my HDD : 0KB pdf file ! = An empty file
This is very anoying and I am sure I am not the only one who encounters this.
Please review your procedures and make this possible again.
Note: I uninstalled Adobe Reader, reset Safari, closed Safari, re-installed Adobe Reader : no results !
THANKS FOR HELPING ASAP !
I travel a lot and have to bring my files with me as internet is not always available in the countries where I work
Christian

Hi Christian,
I've had problems for ages with this but I did notice that after I went through the reinstall with Apple yesterday I now have a couple of different options that are working.
Yesteday I uninstalled reader, restarted my computer and then reinstalled again. I didn't think it had worked for me but after some extra experimentation I have discovered a couple of things.
On some websites eg: https://www.gatewaycu.com.au/uploadedFiles/PDF/Forms/Quick%20Debit%20Authority.pdf
it is coming up with a toolbar (I suppose it's called) at the top of the PDF and it is allowing me to print and save to my desktop, open the pdf and print YEAH.
Also with another website the PDF is showing up differently. eg http://media.wix.com/ugd/99e891_6110f024d956431abb7b66dd24f19251.pdf
This shows up like it used to but the difference is that if you try to save as or print throught the safari options like I used too it doesn't work, BUT if you hover down the bottom of the PDF it brings up a bar type box (sorry I don't know the technical word for this) then you can print, save to desktop, documents etc and then print from there too.
YEAH! It looks like (I hope) that the problem is solved. You have to go about it in a couple of different ways depending on the website, but hey, I don't think that's so bad as long as I can actually print my PDF's. It's better that not being able to access any of them which is what's been happening for the last few months.
I hope this helps you guys out and if you have any problems just let me know and I'll try and explain it better for you.
Cheers
Andrea

Download IDOC structure from SAP web Site

HI
to anticipate the SAP ERp upgrade, i would like to download the most up to date Idoc structure (for ADRMAS and DEBMAS) . Instead of download this structure from an SAP Instance , i would like to download it from SAP Web site.
Does anybody already do that ?
How can i proceed
regards
fred

Hi Siva
Thanks for your input. I Know and i did that from a couple of years , neverthelss, each time you upgarde your system, you have to rewrite your development. My goal is to try to anticipate that by for exemple download the IDOC structure in advance . Let me say IDOC structure used by MySAP ERp 2007 instaed of SAP ERP 4.6. If i can download those STructure i will not be obliged to rewrite my Dev after each upgrade. Do you see what i mean ?
regards
fred

Bug:Downloading pdf file from the web,file name in dialog box populates with incorrect file name

Hi Gurus
When downloading any pdf file from the web using adobe Reader X the file name dialog box populates with incorrect file name
compared to the saved file name of the document downloaded.
Clarity
1. Download any pdf file from the web
2. Click File, Save as note the populated File Name
3. Compare the populated file name with the saved file name of the documant yuo are downloading.
4. The file Name is incorrect...
Is there any work around on this issue?Can someone please help?..
OS:Windows7
Reader: Adobe Reader X
I've tried a couple of other versions and still get the same results...

Are you downloading the file (right-click, save link as), or just opening it by clicking it?
If the latter, then what happens is the file is loaded to the temporary internet files folder by IE and assigned a temporary name, which is then used when you're trying to save it.
You can test this out by going to File - Document Properties before trying to save and looking at the file's location.

My requirement is to download a file from a website using a java program. I have written a program using HttpClient API but I am unable to do so. Reality is that I don't know how to proceed with the HttpClient API to get the file downloaded. Same file can also be downloaded manually by login to that website, below mentioned steps are to be followed to download the file manually.
1. Login to the website using Login/Password (I have valid login/password)
2. Two options (links) are there (a) Report (b) Search [I am chosing report option]
3. Newly opened window shows two tabs (a) Today (b) From & To [I am selection Today tab]
4. Every tab has two radio button (a) File (b) Destination [Destination is selected by me]
5. When Search button is pressed. A link gets created when that link is clicked file download popup is opened which allows facility to open/save the file.
All these 5 step are to be followed in a java program to download the file. Please help in doing the same.

Downloading a file from SAP (tcode FDTA) onto the disk drive of the server

Hi,
We are using the transaction FDTA to download a file to the server. This server is the same one on which the SAP system is hosted the download we have to specify the destination path as
server1\folder1\filename.txt.
The file is downloaded successfully every time.But we need to know which userID was used by SAP to download the file. For this we have switched on the Windows feature of Auditing. This gives us the username which has created the file on the drive.
Here it gets complicated, as each time we see a different username. Sometimes it is the user using which we logged on to the windows OS (terminal server from where we fire the sap logon pad) and other times it shows the user as sidadm.
We need to know how this file transfer process takes place or if there is someway we can ensure that only one userID is always associated with the file download.
Regards,
Rohan.

Hi,
Thank you Markus and BAIGSA. But the user that i see associated with the file (we get this information via Windows auditing) is the user which is used to login to the terminal server.
Now to explain in detail we first login to the terminal server with domain user ID (userA for e.g.). From there we are able to access the SAP R/3 as well as the OS of the SAP systems. So after I login to this terminal server I open the SAP logon pad and logon to the SAP system from where I fire the tcode FDTA mentioned above.
It seems the user I used to logon to the terminal server (userA) is associated with the file (as seen in Windows auditing) and not the sidadm or the SAPserviceSID user.
Is this happening only because I am using a terminal server to hop onto the SAP system?
Regards,
Rohan.

Downloading a file from the web

Hi,
I'm trying to implement an automatic update feature in one of my applications. This is done by downloading a jar from from my web server. I've written this method to download the file, but the file it downloads it says isn't a valid archive - so there's something wrong with my download method, but I don't know what. Any ideas on what's wrong with this method? Or any other ideas on how to download the file? I don't want to use FTP as I don't want to include my username / password in the application code.
    public static void getRemoteFile(String fileName) {
        try {
            FileWriter out = new FileWriter( "new.jar", true );
            URL url = new URL(fileName);
            URLConnection ex = url.openConnection();
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( ex.getInputStream() ) );
            String inputLine = "";
            while ( ( inputLine = in.readLine() ) != null ) {
                out.write( inputLine );
            out.close();
            in.close();
        } catch( Exception e ) {
            // do nothing
    } // end the main method

Thanks for the replies. I created this method instead, but I keep getting this error:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI scheme is not "file"
Any ideas what this means?
            File file = new File( new URI("http://www.mydomain.com/test.jar") );
            InputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file); // copy target
            OutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("new.jar"); // copy destination
            int nSize = fis.available();
            byte [] puffer = new byte[nSize];
            fis.read( puffer, 0, nSize );
            fos.write( puffer, 0, puffer.length );
            fis.close();
            fos.close();

How to download a file from the web

Say, a PDF.

Hi!
Your question is marked as a Firefox OS question which is Mozilla's own mobile operating system. Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support!
It seems that PDFs cannot be downloaded from the web at this moment, however there are apps from the marketplace you can download to open already downloaded PDFs available on your microSD card.

Why I cannot see downloaded PDF files from the web?

I'm getting a message: "The file could not be opened. It may be demaged or use a file format that Preview (or PDF) doesn't recognize".
However my PDF is updated and it works with my older PDF files saved on my Mac.
Thanks for your help.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
Test. If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Cannot view or download PDF files from secure web site with Reader X.

Ran into a similar problem when Reader X first came out (Reader 9 had been working fine). Only a blank window was displayed, but a work around was to "Save As" and use the view option to display and print the document. I recently had to replace my modem. Since then, that work around option is no longer available; it errors out saying that the file could not be downloaded. We are using IE9 and Windows 7. I tried another browser, Google Chrome, with the same negative results. Also, I got the same results on another secure website. I have deleted and downloaded another copy of Reader X (10.1.1) and checked for updates, run the Repair program, and confirmed that Protected Mode and AdobePDF.dll are both enabled. I looked at my Internet settings, too but found nothig that would obviously
interfere with Reader.

Usually, this message occurs with Windows. First time I've seen it with OS X. Looking into it.

Downloaded file from SAP to excel 2007(*.xlsx, *.xlsm) - unable to open

Hi All,
I am downloading a data from SAP to excel(*.xlsx) format. I am able to conver/download the file in *.xlsx format, but if try to open the downloaded excel file, it gives teh error message 'Excel cannot open the file 'filename.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file'. with a OK button. When I press the OK button, no data is displayed.
So kindly let me know how to download the file from SAP to *.xlsx format without any errors.
Note: I am able to download the data in *.xls format without any erros.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Vijay

Hi,
You are probably not being able to open the file of .XLSX format because you do not have Microsoft Office 2007 installed on your system. You might be having a lower version of Microsoft Office. e.g. 2003.
What you can do is, before opening the .XLSX file directly on a system which does not have Microsoft Office 2007, you can convert it into .XLS format and then open the same.
See the below code.
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_COPY
