Uplaod Adobe form from application server

I've a requirement where the Adobe interactive from files will be located in the application server directory and need to be uploaded from there.
I'm using "open data set... in binary mode" comment to open the file and then read it and store in the lt_rawtab table. But I'm not sure how to get the length of the file (which you can get when you're uploading the file from front end/local disk using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload).
If you have address this kind scenario please share how did you upload the Adobe from application server?

Hi Anto,
In fact my problem was due to l_len parameter when calling the function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING' to convert bin pdf document to Xstring type.
I was not sure what value should I pass to input_length parameter.
Then, I saw in some post that the length should be no of lines in lt_rawtab * 255 and that resolved my issue.
I'm having another issue though. When I open the Adobe form, it says "message limit exceeded"... any idea how to fix this?

Retrieving PDF form from Application server

hi all,
i am saving a pdf form in application server and when the user wants the same file then i want to retrive that file from application and show the user and it should not be saved to presentation server only he should see it.
iam able to save it to presentation layer using gui_download but my requirement is not to save it show only display the form.
Thanks in advance,
Sree
helpful answers will be surely rewarded points

Hi,
1st solution - use DOI (desktop office integration). This way you can open Adobe, Microsoft, and others application documents directly in the SAP windows. See SAP document how to do it. It's not a little work, but it should fulfill your requirements.
2nd solution - share the folder with the PDF documents and then with shell command (start
server\folder\xxxxxx.pdf) at the front end access it and start the associated application at the frontend. I don't recommend this one, sharing folders at the appl.server is a security threat...
You know about the points and useful answers...

Open documents/files from Application Server in forms 6i

Hello All,
Our requirement is to open files that are in Application server( We do not want to upload them into database).
Is there a way to open this files from forms 6i.
I am wondering how the "View Output" or View log button works on the concurrent program submission form. Its the doing the same thing i.e pulling the file from Application server and showing up.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to get this done.
Thanks
Sunil

I assume you are using Forms 6i in web mode here. Then it is just a URL to the file if you properly map to a directory where you store the files:
web.show_document('http://...../myfile.pdf');
But it also looks like you are using Oracle Apps, so might want to ask it in the e-Business Suite.

Call standard adobe form from a WD application

Hi All,
I have a requirement of displaying a standard adobe form from a click of a button in a WDA portal,

Problem with pdf display downloaded from application server

Hi all,
I have a problem with displaying pdf downloaded from application server (saved in BINARY MODE).
I am getting the pdf output of adobe form in FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF as rawstring back to my program and then converting that rawstring into binary form using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Now, when I export the data to presentation server directly using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, the pdf is downloaded properly.
However, when I save the data to application server file by looping at the internal table obtained from SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using TRANSFER, and subsequently downloading the file in "unconverted format" from AL11 to my desktop, I am getting a "blank" pdf file (with the same number of pages as the one downloaded using gui_download).
I have tried different encodings during download but in those cases i get corrupted pdf message. only the default option of INTIAL value seems to work.
I am forced to believe that there is a problem in my code which saves the data to app server but I cant find any solution that is logical. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.

Sasi

Hi Rammohan,
You cannot use OPEN DATASET to transfer data from application server to presentation server.
You can do the following :
Do 1st point in BACKGROUND
1. Read the data file from application server into an internal table using OPEN DATASET
Do 2nd point in Foreground
2. Once you get the data into an internal table, then use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to download it on presentation server
You cannot use the above 2 point together in Background because its not possible. Hence you need program it partially in background and partially in foreground.
Best regards,
Prashant

Fetching of multiple files from Application Server into SAP Program

Hi All,
I have a issue related Fetching of multiple files from Application Server into SAP Program.
Actual issue is as below.
In the selection screen of my program i will give Application Server Path as :
/PW/DATA/SAP/D1S/PP/DOWN/eppi0720*
Then the based on above input it should pick up all the files that are matching eppi0720* criteria.
Suppose if i am having 5 files with above scenario, i have to fetch all those 5 files at a time and place in my SAP Program.
All those 5 file's data should come into SAP at a time.
Can anybody tell me how can we solve above issue.
If any body has come across same issue please provide me with solution.
Thanks in advance.
