Strange: When download excel file from Apex, it ask XDB username/password.

Hi
I'm using Apex 4.0.1 on Oracle 10.2.0.3, I have a application where end user can upload some file(excel/PDF/Word) as an attachment and later on they will download. Everything is fine but one thing:
When User press the download button, a popup window asking you whether you want to open it or save it. when it's PDF/Word file, all works fine no matter what you choose; but when it's an Excel file, if we try to open it(press the open), it will popup a window saying 'XDB need a username and password'. But if you ingore it, it did open the file without any issue; If user press Save button, no issue at all.
So the app still work but it's kind of annoying..
Any one seen this before? Any idea?
Thanks
Mike

You should open the excel file in binary mode, in that case, no errors will occur.
Also, there is a very good package located on
http://stareyes.homeip.net:8888/. It's free. The only thing is the server open
for a certain hours during the weekday. 11:00amp to 7:00pm New York time zone.

Download Excel file from from a second server

Hi,
In our Java based web application (jsp pages) users need to download Excel files stored on a different server (business tier) than the first application server server that hosts only the presentation tier.
For security reasons users don't access the second application server. From a technical point of view what's the best solution to answer this requirement ? The logic should be the following: the user clicks on a report name that is displayed on this browser, the request is sent to the first application server that will retrieve the report stored on a second server and will return it to the user.
Thanks a lot.

it's been a while since i've done ejb stuff, but i believe you can configure an ejb to "runas" a different user. so, you would configure an ejb on the accessible server to "runas" a user who has access to the secondary server.

"Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
Window 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
Hope it's helpful.

When downloading a file from google drive and save in my phones document directory,the file size is compressed. Why?

I have downloaded files from "Dropbox" and save in phones document directory,After downloading in document directory,the size of the download file is same as the actual size in dropbox. I can also open it from document directory.Everything is ok. But when I follow the same process for google drive files, the file size is compressed(if actual size of file is 1.2Mb the download file size is 61Kb). So I can not open it from document directory.So, How can i download the actual size of the file in document directory? I am using google api objectivec client for google drive.
Thanks in advance.

If an iphone were to try to download a full size document ot photo, it woul overload its own ram, and crash, resulting in a laggy iphone. Therefore it is compresses

When downloading a file from Safari, it goes to downloads and you can't re-name the file before it is saved

I am new to MAC and have trouble when downloading files from Safari that I want to save to a particular folder with a new name. Can you do that without first saving to downloads, then moving the file to the documents stack, then changing the name?

Although the right-click contect menu has "Download linked file as" and you would think that would allow you to rename the file as it is downloaded, it always gives me a useless html file. Maybe I am misunderstanding what that menu item actually does. I long ago gave up on renaming files during download. So I'm as curious as you about whether it can be done.

How do I hide the download form when downloading a file from a website?

Hi,
On my website, www.sb-ssa.com, when I select a menu button that downloads a PDF, a Downloads Form appears and then the PDF appears. Is is possible to hide the Downloads Form? Thank you.
Joe

Use the function "File Dialog" and wire your type to "pattern label".
Hope this helps.

Error message when downloading photo files from memory card and camera c0000005 , address e8d3c7a , with PS Elements 12 and program closes

Can anyone help please.
had similar problem with previous version of PS.

Hi jeanmichel2,
Requesting you to please provide following info:
- OS configuration you are using?
- Please elaborate your scenario. I mean what are the exact steps you are doing? Also is this catalog specific (try creating a new catalog, repeat your steps and see if you face this issue).
- I am assuming you are using Adobe Photodownloader (APD) for import (Import->From Camera or card reader). Am I correct here?
- For Importing it seems that you are using a card reader. Is this issue reproducible with other devices also (like camera, iDevices, Android devices or pen-drives)?

When downloading a file from a website, I get the file but it is totally black and never fully opens up. I can see page numbers to advance See screen shot

Same as question. On two different URL sites, the download PDF comes up black. I would include the screen shot of the black pdf, but I do not see where I can add this to my question

Firefox's built-in PDF viewer is not yet as full-featured as Adobe's plugin. You might need to use Adobe for that one. Here's how to make the switch: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
Any luck, or same issue?

Download all excel files from sharepoint location to local folder

Hi,
How to I copy all excel files stored at sharepoint location to local folder?
Regards,
Nidhi

Hi NidhiP,
To download Excel files from a SharePoint library by using SSIS, we need to make use of the Script Task. In the Script Task, we can use the methods provided by
Lists Web Service to work with SharePoint files, and then use the
WebClient.DownloadFile Method or
FileStream Class to transfer the files from SharePoint to local file system.
For the code examples, please refer to:

Filename of downloaded Excel file

I frequently download Excel files from a website that seems for the most part windows centric. These excel files have an extension of .xls, I can double click them to open, but when opened they just have the file name of WORKSHEET. If I rename the file in the finder the same thing happens. If I try to open the file in numbers I get something like
<table border="1">


<tr><td colspan = "15" valign="middle" align="center">Investor's Business Daily 100</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan = "15" valign="middle" align="center">Data as of 8/1/2008 market close</td></tr>
Any idea? Now I have to open the file in excel, then do a save as, type in the file name (if I don't want WORKBOOK), then delete (or write over) the original file. What can I tell the website people?

Hello ,
In my procedure i am passing id and with the help of that id , ia am fetching values from the database.
i have declared on clob type variable say v_insert where i am storing table structure(like worksheet) which i need on excel

v_insert := v_insert||'<tr>';
v_insert := v_insert||'<td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td><b>Column1_Value</b></td> <td>abc</td>';
v_insert := v_insert||'</tr>';then i am converting that clob into blob and storing the content into BLOB type variable say v_blob
below is the code used for downloding the blob content.
wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);Thanks,

I can't download PDF files or excel files from my email

Why I cannot download PDF or excel files from my email. I click on the attach but it does nothing at all

You are saying that files are not opened in the mail app when you are reading the email or the file does not open when you tap on the icon?
Try quitting the mail app and the launch it again. Try restarting the iPad as well.
To quit the mail app .... Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Why when i copy files from downloads to a new folder,then i delete them from the downloads i will loose the file?

tell me please when i copy files from downloads it will be a new file with new capacity? i mean if a file is 2 mb, when i copy it it will be new 2mb ?

If you copy it to another folder, e.g., Documents, and you can see it in the Downloads folder then you now have two copies of the file. If you delete one copy, the other stays intact. If you keep both, there is no harm, although the amount of disk space used is twice as big as when you only keep one copy.
