SAP downloading machine characters

Dear ABAPers..
I'm facing a problem while downloading data from SAP in RAW format.
I have a program which fetches some data from database and and send its on mail as an attachement in RAW so that it can be downloaded in txt as well as in csv format.
But, SAP is formating the attachment in machine characters.
Please help me out in get the data downloaded from SAP.
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
Are you using function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send an email attachment??? Do you want to download data in excel file format?

When trying to start SAP download manager issue is coming

Dear Experts
We have installed SAP download basket on windows 7 32 bit machine, Also we have installed java latest version.
While starting the download basket we are facing the " Windows error 2 occurred while loading the java VM"
Java version installed :- jre-8u20-windows-i586

Ravi Kaushik

You can run the Java file directly here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Download Manager\DLManager.jar
But if you want to fix it permanently you have to edit the file: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Download Manager\SAP Download Manager.lax
Open it with a text editor and change:
lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\ProgramData\\Oracle\\Java\\javapath\\java.exe
You have to change it to something like:
lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre1.8.0_45\\bin\\java.exe
Where the exact folder depends on your version. I happen to have this version of java. If you remove the double backslash and paste it into a file explorer you will see if the java.exe file is actually there. Once you find the java.exe program and path you have to add the double backslashes back for the .lax file before you save it.
Once I saved this it worked fine using the .exe launcher.

Error message is 'The Request Error : 400' with SAP Download Manager

Hello,
The authorization object SWDOWNLOAD (download software) is assigned to the My user ID.
But I could not download below that file.
SAP_ABA 710 (4~8)
SAP_BASIS 710 (4~8)
PI_BASIS 2006_1_710 (4~8)
SAP_BW 710 (4~8)
Error message is 'The Request Error : 400' with SAP Download Manager
I logged on to SAP Service Marketplace, software download area /swdc.
I have created objects in the download basket and have received approvals (->Maintenance-Optimizer) where required.
I start the SAP Download Manager and the objects from the download basket are visible in the object list of the program window.
After I choose "Objects for Download", the system starts the download.
In the info-line (in the lower part of the window), the system displays the message 'Processing object...' and then 'The request failed: 400'.

Hello,
In these cases the following things should be checked:
1.- Please be sure that you are using the latest Donwload Manager version
2.- S-User and password should be active
3.- Specify the proxy. Please refer to SAP Note 155954
4.- It might be that you are not licensed for the product you want to download.
If the checkings above are correct and the problem is still alive, I would recommend you to open an SAP customer message under component XX-SER-SAPSMP-SDM providing the following information:
1.- The exactly software product name and package or stack number you try to download.
2.- Attach to the message the results of the trace file generated as per note 574885:
574885 - Download Manager: Generate trace file for analysis
I hope this helps you.

Are you intentionally using such an old JDK?

Problem running SAP Download Manager

hi there,
I'm having a problem with Download manager. I've installed Java 1.4 runtime environment and i'm using a proxy to connect to the internet. I've configured the Download Manager with https://service.sap.com and my S-number and password and i've put in our server IP and the domain/username with network password. I still cant connect to my download basket.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys,
Greeshma

Hello Marcello,
If it is not in the network specifications, please check if you entered the right URL, it should be:
http://service.sap.com
Maybe this solves your problem?
Another option is to make a certificate for the SAP website, if you have done that, you can download directly from the website, instead of using the SAP download manager.
Hope you can do something with it.
Kind regards,
Hendri Wessels

Error while using SAP download manager

Hi,
When we try to download patches using SAP download manager to download patches, I get the error below:
The basket content could not be read. The following exception occured:
Unable to read data form teh SAP Service Marketplace. Check your settings and try again.
I have entered all the required information i.e. s-user id, password, proxy details etc in the 'download manager configuration.'
Kindly let me know how to proceed forward.
Thanks & Regards,
Kunal Patel

Hi Kunal,
I think, by now your DM must be working, but just for info.
Please check SAP Service Marketplace Address , it should be , http://service.sap.com/ and not https:.
574885 Download Manager: Generate trace file for analysis
401196 Download Manager: Proxy configuration problems.
The above given SAP notes are very useful , which can be used to analyze the issue and also gives steps to generate the trace of the Download Manager which points to the issue. I resolved my DM issue with the above SAP notes.
Steps mentioned in the SAP note 401196 - Download Manager: Proxy configuration problems to trace out the issue:
Open a command prompt.
CD to the directory where you installed the Download Manager.
At the prompt, type "java -Djavax.net.debug=all -jar DLManager.jar dlmanager.Application".
The Download Manager will be started. You are able to see detailed debugging information in the command prompt window. Note that it is also possible to write this output to a file.
Do let the forum know if your issue is resolved or not.
Regards,
Anuj

SAP Download Manager exe: " is not a valid win32 application"

Hi,
I just cannot find any solution this issue.
I downloaded from the SDN the SAP Solution Manager (exe File) to a 64 bit machine.
But when I double click the EXE-File to start the installation I get the following error message:
....exe is not a valid win32 application.
The machine is a 64 bit one so I woinder what the win32 is required?
All the solutions I can find are talking about virus etc.. but I do not believe this.
Any feedback?
Best regards
HanseAtik

Hi,
yes DLM is a java application but normaly it should be installed via the exe file. This is what I wonder.
I just did the following:
Manual installation
Download the Download Manager Java Archive (958 KB).
Copy it to a directory where it can permanently reside:
Open a shell ("command prompt") and change directory (type: cd 'the directory name') to the directory to which the Download Manager Java Archive was copied.
At the prompt, type: java -classpath "DLManager.jar" dlmanager.Application
The Download Manager application starts up
And it works now by this means it be started.
But I wish to install it and be also listed under the installed programs.
Anyway I can live with this now
Thanks

Can't run install for CR XI DEV WIN INTL from SAP download site - corrupt?

The file is .zip file download that will not install. It gives me an error:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
I'm running as an domain admin on a w2k3 server... I have permission, I even double checked. Is this file corrupt?
The SKU is 7008028-1T2

Try this link: http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
click on the link in the middle of the page and then filter on CR XI Release 2. Or Release 1 if you really need it. CR XI R2 is a free upgrade from XI R1.
Get Service Pack 4 full build and then SP 6 and use your keycode to install.
Or try a different browser to download it.
Thank you

Excel download truncated characters

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I am trying to download an ALV report in a excel format to the work station and the last character of one of the many fields,Vendor Number, gets truncated. Strangely this problem is confined to quality and production environments, and the same excel download works fine in the development environment.
I have searched for replies in the forum that suggest program corrections but I would like to know how the same report download works correctly in development.

Hi,
The issue is due to fieldcatalog not being populated properly and in the Layout - Column width optimize is checked. In this case the contents are display till the heading ( For ex: if the heading is 'Vendor' ) the conents will be displayed with a maximum length of 6 characters instead of 10 with ".." at the end truncating the output.
The reason why its working in development and not in Quality or production is that the maximum vendor number in development is less than or equal to 6 digits where as in quality or production its more. Please check.
Solution: If you are populating the field catalog manuallly, populate the ref_field and ref_table ( For ex: wth 'LIFNR' and 'LFA1' respectively ).

SAP special german characters(umlaut) like ü, ö, ä not displayed properly in XML output

Hello Team,
Here we are facing issues while converting SAP tables data to XML file.
the description is not converting properly for the special German characters like ü, ö, ä.
Actual output should be :Überprüfung nach § 29 STVZO
Output Displayed :Ã#berprÃ¼fung nach Â§ 29 STVZO
Can you please look into and help me in this to get correct output .
Thank you.

Hi,
Unicode or Non-Unincode System ?
Displayed where ? SAPGUI ? Print Preview ? Spool-Display ?
And how is the XML file written ? OPEN DATASET ? BAPI ?
At all of these stages it might be either that it is only a display system, like the selected display CHARSET in SAPGUI, when it is a non-unicode system, or simply not coded correctly like OPEN DATASET without specifying the cdepage when necessary.
And it might even be, that even "displaying" the XML File is simply done with the incorrect codepage while the data inside the file is correct.
If you are on Windows, you might even face funny results when saving a simple textfile from notepad with ANSI/DOS and both Unicode variants and then go to CMD.EXE ans simply "type" the content.
All 4 results will be different, allthough notepad will display the same stuff.
So first of all, makes sure which codepage is relevant at all stages from DB-table to "display"
- DB-Charset
- SAP system type (unicode/non-unicode)
- SAP codepage (1100 / 410x )
- crosscheck the test from report RSCPINST
- Codepage on Windows running SAPGUI
- Selected codpage for Sapgui
Good hunting

Download korean characters to file

Hi,
I'm trying to download data which is in Korean into a file. The database character set is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. I am using the UTL_FILE functions to create the file. I tried converting the text to unicode and creating a unicode file.
When I open the created file in Word, it is still not using Korean characters. Am I testing this correctly? How can I check that the unicode file is correct? Is my convert function used correctly?
Here's the code I've been testing on:
(Column1 has datatype NVARCHAR2(2000))
set serverout on
DECLARE
g_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
g_file_dir varchar2(200) := '/eft';
ls_gary nvarchar2(100);
BEGIN
g_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN_NCHAR(g_file_dir,'TESTFILE','w');
FOR x IN (select CONVERT(COLUMN1,'UTF8','WE8ISO8859P1') bankname
FROM table1 ) LOOP
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE_NCHAR (g_file,x.bankname);
EXIT;
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE_ALL;
END;
Thanks,
Carol

Korean characters cannot be represented in the ISO-8859-1 character set, so the convert function will certainly cause problems.
