Upload to file in the presentation server

Hi Guyz,
I got a report, which would download output into a .txt file using function module "download", but one field is not getting downloaded into that.
how to check that? plz let me know..
thanks a lot..
venu.

I guess its the last field in your structure you didn´t get. Right ? Then maybe you exceeded a hardcoded length of about 1000 or 1200 bytes in the FM.
Hope that helps.

"Bad data format" when reading txt file from the presentation server

Hello,
I have a piece of code which reads a txt file from the presentation server to an internal table like below:
DATA : lv_filename type string.
lv_filename = 'C:\abap\Test.txt'. "I created a folder called abap under C:\
CALL method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD
EXPORTING
   FILENAME              = lv_filename
CHANGING
   DATA_TAB            = lt_tsd. " lt_tab has the exact same fields as the Test.txt's. Test.txt has only one line, tab delimited.
When running this code, exception BAD_DATA_FORMAT is issued.
Is it because of the file encoding or delimiter or other reason?
Thanks,
Yang

Hello,
If its tab delimited then use the has_field_seperator parameter and check
DATA : lv_filename type string.
lv_filename = 'C:\abap\Test.txt'. "I created a folder called abap under C:\

Reading file from the presentation server in the background

Hi,
I am trying to read a .csv file from the presentation server into an internal table in the background. what should I do for it? In the foreground it works fine.
I have declared a selection parameter 'p_file' that has the path of the file. It wokrs fine in the foreground and how to set it up in the background?
Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance,
VG

hii
did you achieved the required functionality , i,e, accessing presentation server file i nbackground .
I too got the same requirement, can you explain the process.
There is no way you can do it... The best method is to put the file on Appln server and then call it in the background mode.

Vishwa.

How do I upload only a few lines of a file from the presentation server?

Hi there guys,
I'd like to upload the contents of a file on my HD (presentation server) to an internal table. I know this can be achieved by using the GUI_UPLOAD function module. But what if I only want to upload a part of the file, not the whole thing? Like the first 100 bytes or 10 lines or something like that. Some files are just way too big to upload them as a whole. I tried using the OPEN DATASET statement, but that seems to work only for files on the application server. If I try to open 'C: emp est.txt' (for example) with OPEN DATASET, I get an error. Do I have to put the filename differently or am I totally wrong with OPEN DATASET? I'm kinda stuck here and I'd appreciate your help.
Cheers,
Björn.

Hi Shashi,
thanks for your reply. If I understand you correctly, this means I will have to wait for GUI_UPLOAD to upload the whole file and afterwards filter into another table. I don't want to upload the whole thing because it's that big, I'd like to only upload a portion of it in the first place. Can this be done?
Cheers,
Björn.

Uploading a file to the BPC server

Hi,
I am working on BPC NW 7.5. I am trying to upload a xlsx with master data file to the BPC server. I get an error that says "HTTP Error 400: Bad Request". I tried uploading csv and txt files and they upload without errors.
Please assist
Thanks

Hi,
You should be able to check the DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS parameter in the application set parameters to see what is allowed and control allowed file types. You can see the documentation on this topic here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/f7/d21edd2f4c4f78b0a5be2b16e19ca1/frameset.htm

How do upload a file to the application server into a directory?

hi to all,
i want to upload file into the database..i need upload the file into the application server and save it to a directory..is there any way?where i can read about this?any information?
ashwiny

Hello,
First, we need to determine the terms we are using, in order to avoid confusion. We (including the documentation) are using "upload" to describe storing the file on the server, and "download" to pull it from the server into local machine.
You can use the "File Browse" item to upload any file you need from your local machine and into a database table. The default APEX configuration (in the dads.conf file) stored the uploaded file in a table called wwv_flow_file_objects$. In your application, you can access this table using a view called APEX_APPLICATION_FILES.
After you uploaded a file, any user can access it, using the download procedure described in the reference I gave you. The download procedure gives you an option to store the download file anywhere you need, using the "Open/Save" dialog box.
I believe this is covering everything you need. If you still having problems, please consider posting the relevant application pages on apex.oracle.com. It will be easier to understand and help you.

Arie.

Upload and download of excel file in the application server in background

Hi all,
i want to download the excel file from application server into internal table and after processing i have to upload to excel file in the application server in the background mode..
i mean i'll schedule the program in background.
im using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE its working fine in fore ground but not in back ground.
what method i have to follow ?

Hi Ankit,
I think this is not possible to open a Excel-File from the application server because the Excel format before Office 2007 where a binary format (Suffix: .xls). The newer Office file format (Suffix: xlsx) is a zipped XML Format. To read the binary Excel-Format you need an OLE Connection between SAP GUI and Office. But at the application server in background you doesn't have this OLE Connection.
In my opinion you have two possibilities:
1. Convert all files in the CSV format. This file format can be read with open dataset.
2. Upload the files from the presentation server in forground. There are some funktion modules in the standard which can read the xls format. But they have some limits regarding the length of cells content.
My recommendation is solution no. 1. If you know an VBA expert, he can write an Excel-macro which converts all Excel Files in the CSV-Fomat.

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

How to validate a Particular Directory or file path in Presentation server.

Hi SAP gurus,
I am having a requirement where I want to download a file into the Presentation server.
The file path to download will be provided in a parameter.
What I want to do is to throw a message to the user if He/She provides a wrong Directory or File path.
For example :
Say the user is providing the file download path as " E:\test.txt", but there is no "E" drive or such directory in the presentation. So in this case I should be able to check the wrong Directory provided by the user and throw some message to the user saying there is no such Directory present. Please give a proper directory or similar messages.
I have found a FM: PFL_CHECK_DIRECTORY but i am not able to use it properly.
So do you have any FM or any method and its explanation to fulfill my requirement .

Do it this way:
tables:
spfli.
parameters:
p_file type rlgrap-filename          " File name
                   obligatory.
Data:
t_final_data like table of spfli.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.
call function 'F4_FILENAME'
   exporting
     program_name        = syst-cprog
     dynpro_number       = syst-dynnr
     field_name          = ' '
   importing
     file_name           = p_file.
at selection-screen.
data:
    lw_file type string.              " File Path
lw_file = p_file.
select * from spfli into table t_final_data.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
   EXPORTING
     filename                        = lw_file
   tables
     data_tab                        = t_final_data.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message 'File not found' type 'E'.
endif.
With luck,
Pritam.

Problem with downloading the internal table onto the presentation server.

Hey folks,
I have a problem where in i am downloading one year of sales done by the company. I wrote a program to download the file onto the presentation server . The error occurs in the FM GUI_DOWNLOAD where if the file exceeds 105843504 bytes its giving me a dump saying that
When the program was running , it was established that more memory was needed than the operating system is able to safely to provide.
The current program has to be terminted because of the program already requested 105843504 bytes from the operating system with malloc when the operating system reported after further memory request that there was no more memory space available.
Could somebody provide an alternative soltuion for this.
Its really urgent as i can download the file with 70,000,000 bytes
Regards
Rock

Hi Rock,
Please download the files on to Application Server, else as suggested by Ashish download into 2 or 3 files and merge them manually.
Declare same internal tables may be 5 times.
When you fill the internal table check for a counter and when you hit a certain number stop appending to it and start appending to the next.
After you are done so download all the internal tables.
I guess this would be a good way. I am not sure if there are any ther alternative good methods.
Hope this helps.

Maximum length of header in the file on the application server?

Hi there,
           I am uploading a file on the application server. I am writing the header separately which is column heading in char format. Then I am writing the data to that file.
           Now the problem is, I am unable to get more than 256 chars for each line in the file, including header, in <b>AL11 file view</b> and while I am <b>downloading that file on to my desktop</b>, I am <b>not</b> getting more than 256 chars from <b>header </b> line in my excel sheet however I am getting all the chars i.e. more than 256 chars of all the <b>data line</b>.
           Please can you tell,what could be the problem or let me know any way to see and download all the header line fields.

I am using more than 256 chars at both the places i.e. header and data line. Still I am not getting more than 256 chars in the file.
However while downloading that file onto the desktop, it is not showing more than 256 chars for the header part, but it showing all the values of data line, exceeding 256 chars.
