Sap api for MS Office

Hi,
I am looking for some api which provides tools to manipulate MS Word documents, I need to write Web DynPro application which generates some report and save it to MS Word document. I found <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ef/3483789514b748b6fe1f145e9685ab/frameset.htm">Example for the Use of an Office Document</a> but it only provides api for opening document in browser. Has anybody found some other api with more capabilities?
Thanks
Michal

I just thought that maybe SAP provides some API for MS Office files processing. As far as I know ABAP systems are able to generate doc reports (solution manager). But I am not sure if there is possibility to get programmatically access to those options. Anyway I found OpenOffice API for doc processing I think it`s better then Apache project, what`s more You can save documents in lot`s of formats using the same code to generate it.
Thanks Guys for help.

Ports in SAP BPC for MS Office (Excel, Word or PowerPoint).

Hello to all,
I'm trying to find what ports do I have to open to my firewall to let the customer in to the SAP BPC from the MS Office (Excel, Word or PowerPoint).
I've tried to find it, but I didn't fiond anything in the manuals.
Please I need help.
Thank you in advance.
Pablo Mortera.

You really need to go through the Master & Installation guide as Alwin pointed out. This guide will easily answer questions like this as well as the other question you have posted lately.
From the guide;
If your Application, Web, or Reporting Services server components will be
accessed through a firewall, you should verify with your network
administrator which TCP ports to choose during the installation of
OutlookSoft. By default, port 80 is the setting for standard http access,
and port 443 is the setting for https access. If you require a service to
listen on a different port, you can specify it during the installation program
in u2018Advanced Settings.u2019 See Standard and Advanced settings on page 18.
u2022 Make sure all required server ports are open, and there is communication
between the physical servers on which you are going to install the server
components.
All required ports must be opened for inbound/outbound traffic. By default,
OutlookSoft requires that Ports 80 (used by http) and 1443 (used by SQL
2000/2005), 2725 (used by OLAP 2000) and 2383 (used by OLAP 2005)
are open. For information on the required ports, see Server Manager Help.

Most popular api for modifying excel spreadsheets?

I googled a bit and it seems like POI and jexcel are the most popular ? I'm interested in hearing your opinions... I've tried POI and I find it OK, but I wish I had more features like copying a row and "pasting/inserting" it into another row and copying formulas and having it modified as you "paste" it to another cell.
edit:
scratch jexcel off the list... it's not free :(

hi,
POI is best
The most popular API for manipulating Excel files is Apache POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi). This is an API for reading office-documents in general. For reading Excel there is the hssf subproject (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf). They also have a list of alternative projects that can be used for accessing Excel files (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/alternatives.html)
You can also read in the excel file through the jexcel api (http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/)
once you can read in the entire excel file into java, you can create your own Java object structure and go from there.

Hi Satosh Sutar,
Based on the description, you got the error message when you update the apps from version 1.0 to 1.1.
From the error message, it seems the menifest include some settings no allowed in the new version. Would you mind sharing more detail about how you update the project?
And here is an article about updating apps for Office and menifest schema files in the project for your reference:

The APIs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerbi/dn874029.aspx only

ABAP API for KM ??

Hi guys,
I have seen a couple threads in this forum regarding the ABAP API for KM but nothing concrete as yet. Also alot of the links seem to be non existent now ;-(
If I go onto our SAP system and go to SE24 I can see a good couple classed related to KM by typing something like CL_KMC*.....
But what is the recommended approach to take? In my scenario I have an ABAP Webdynpro and I need to both UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD files to KM......
Should I generate a web service proxy in ABAP that consumes the standard KM web services? Do these web services even allow me to upload and download file to and from the KM area? I believe there is a KM Proxy layer in ABAP ?
Has anyone got some more information on this???
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Chat later
Lynton

I think I will just do the work in Java Webdynpro and use the KM API. It is a pity because I would much rather do it in ABAP Webdynpro, it just seems like nobody has really done it or documented it well...
Thanks anyway

ABAP API for MDM work flow

Hi SDN,
I need some information related to ABAP API for MDM workflow. I did search in SDN and I found one solution in a thered posted on Jul-2008.
ABAP API - MDM Workflow execute
My dought is: Do we have any ABAP API for call MDM work flow. Please provide me the solution ASAP. Apprciate for your immediate response.
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi LAKSHMAN ,
To answer your question specifically
Using ABAP api you cannot call MDM workflows as of mdm 5.5 there are no functions specific to calling MDM workflows in ABAP.If you want to implement workflows on ABAP side you need to go for SAP ECC workflows which is a different topic than MDM>
To call MDM workflows over the Java stack ie WAS (SAP portal),You have 2 ways
- UWL
- Guided Procedures.
- UWL is a way of calling MDM workflows on EP.Wherein the workflow design will be done in MDM and it will only be called in portal using appropiate connections and configurations.
You can refer the below links to know more on them:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/771f1a61-0e01-0010-daa9-93a52905da09 (uwl)

- GP is a way where by you need to design the entire workflow on SAP portal the logic can be pertaining to MDM but the design is completely on portal using webdynpros and api.
You can refer the below links to know more on them:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/92811997-0d01-0010-9584-f7d535177831 (Guided procedures)

WebDynpro with embedded SAP GUI for HTML transaction

Hello,
I have been given a requirement for a WebDynpro application that will have some links and figures at the top and underneath that there will be a SAP GUI for HTML transaction visible. What is the best method for handling this type of scenario? This is a 7.0 portal connecting to ECC 5.0 on the back-end.
Thanks,
Bert

Hello Bert,
I would have implemented your scenario in following way:
1. Create a transaction iView in portal using SAP GUI for HTML.
2. In the web dynpro application, you have multiple choices to use the transaction iview created in above step.
         a. Use a IFrame UI element giving it the portal based url for the transaction iview
         b. Use POrtal Navigation API to navigate to the transaction iview.
         WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
         "ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.PageNavigationProject/com.sap.TargetPage",
            WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
            (String) null,
            (String) null,
            WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
            (String) null,
            (String) null,
            [<url params>]
Hope this helps you.

RE: Oracle BPM Add-in for Microsoft Office 2007

All,
Now that we have this add-in for MS Office 2007 (see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/office_addin/index.html), we would benefit from what to do with such attachments uploaded to the workflow. For example, parse an Excel attachment.
Seems like there are several options - PAPI, PBL, others?
Is there any level of documentation available?
Thanks
Doug

Doug,
I read from this description that once an Office Document has been submitted into a process, you would like to parse its content and then for example with information contained in it, do intelligent routing and even update this document. Certainly this is possible and totally encouraged.
A couple of tips for this:
a) Once the instance has been created, it will have an attachment (the document you submitted). You can access this with the default component in Fuego.Lib.Attachment. You can find more information and documentation about this one through this official documentation link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/standard_components/index.html ).
b) If the file you are attaching is an Office Document, then you can try to do the following:
b.1) Introspect the Office COM API.
b.2) Write some logic to parse the content. We have done this in the past very effectively with Excel and Word.
HTH,

EWS JAVA API for availability is giving only 10 suggested times in a particular day

I'm using EWS JAVA API for seeing the availability of contacts who had shared their calender with me. Here in the suggested timings, I can able to see only 10 suggested timings even though there can be more than 10 suggested slots.
I would like to check is there any limit on suggested times ?
API is also giving quality of timing like "Good", "Excellent" on what basis this is decided ?

You can specify the maximum number of suggestions per day using the MaximumResultsByDay parameter (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa565641(v=exchg.150).aspx).
The quality is determined based on how many attendees are available and is influenced by the GoodThreshold:

KM Image file name for Microsoft Office 2003 documents

We want to change the images which display for Microsoft Office 2003 files loaded into KM to something more recognizable, but we CANNOT find the image files for .XLS, .DOC, .PPT, etc.
Any Ideas what they are called? Are they in the standard image repository?
Thanks!

Hi Brian,
the icons are saved under /etc/public/mimes/images.
You can go to KM Content and upload there your own icons, You can either replace the SAP standard ones (ie: document.gif for .DOC) or you can change the KM Configuration (Content Management -> Utilities -> Icons) so that your own icons are associated with the MIME types you want to change. The second solution should be more upgrade safe in my opinion.
Hope this helps,
Robert

ABAP API For SP06?

Hi
We are trying to integrate MDM (5.5 SP06 Patch 3) with an ECC 6.0 server. We downloaded the MDM TECHNOLOGY 5.5.5.7.00 CAR file from service market place. It was installed successfully in the ECC 6.0 server. But we are unable to find the relevant ABAP component for our MDM version in the "ABAP implementation for MDM version support" of the mdmapic transaction. The components in that table are the ones for SP04 and SP05 but not SP06.
Has anyone successfully used ABAP APIs in their SP06 environment? If yes, then what was the CAR file that was used?
Thanks.
Regards
Swarna

Hi Kanstantsin
In the begininng we had downloaded from the same path you have mentioned.
After raising OSS note SAP responded by saying that - the installations should be downloaded from the path:
Download ->
Support Packages and Patches ->
Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group ->
SAP NetWeaver ->
SAP MDM ->
SAP MDM 5.5 ->
Entry by Component ->
ABAP API for NW 7.0
After doing that we are able to see the SP06 components.
But now when i try the sample code in the ABAP API How to guide, for creating a repository through API, i'm getting an error -
"Server return code 0X84020003: DCNI_MSG_ErrInitDB"
I verified the ip (same for server host and dbms host), port (20005), dbms username/password. They all seem to be fine.
Has anyone faced this issue before?
Thanks
Swarna

Reproting tool(api) for exporting in xls files in different templates

Hi
I need api for exporting data into xls files. DIfferent reports everyone has own template and data.
Please suggest some free java APIs or tools that can be intergrated with java web application easy.

you should use windward reports. we can use excel for the template, report, and now even the data source. And our design tool is word/excel/powerpoint, so you're already trained. you need a powerful, secure enterprise-level Java/J2EE reporting engine to back your critical reporting and document generation systems.
The Windward Engine installs easily, runs on one or more servers as part of your server-based application, and can easily produce hundreds of thousands of reports per day on a single server. The server is a pure Java product (and also is available as pure .NET).
Even better news for you guys: When combined with the Windward report design tools AutoTag and AutoTag Max, users design, schedule and run reports from within Microsoft Office. That means you can turn over reporting to the business group and get back to more interesting work.
You don't have to take my word for it. Check out this [robust Java reporting engine|http://www.windwardreports.com/java.htm?source=pday909&campaign=pday909&utm_source=everyr&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=pday909&id=203] for yourself.
