User file upload within OBI

Hi,
Is it possible to enable users to upload files within their OBI environment through a buildin OBI application/service? The file would then be uploaded to a destination on the server on which it is running.
Currently we are using an ASP.NET Server Page run by IIS, which is loaded as embedded content within an OBI Dashboard.
This demands a login to the server, while i would prefer they could upload by only using there OBI user loginname.
I realize there are beautifull SSO architectures to put up for this, but im really looking for something simple for the moment.
Thank you.

Threading problem during File Upload with Apache faces upload tag

First I am going to tell you "My Understanding of how JSF Apache Upload works, Correct me if i am wrong".
1) Restores View (to show Input box and Browse button to facilitate users to select a file for upload)
2) Translates Request Parameters to Component Values (Creates equivalent components to update them with request values).
3) Validates Input(Checks to see whether the User has input the correct file)
4) Updates Backing Bean or Model to reflect the values.
5) Renders response to user.
I am uploading huge files of sizes 400MB and above with the help of JSF apache extensions tag
<h:form id="uploadForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<x:inputFileUpload style="height:20px;" id="upload" value="#{backingbean.fileContents}" storage="file" size="50" />
</h:form>
In the backing bean
private UploadedFile fileContents;
 public UploadedFile getFileContents() {
 return fileContents;
 public void setFileContents(UploadedFile fileContents) {
 System.out.println("File being uploaded...");
 this.fileContents = fileContents;
Since, the file size is so huge, I am using temp folder to use for the apache tag instead of memory.
In web.xml i am using like this
<filter>
<filter-name>ExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.myfaces.component.html.util.ExtensionsFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>uploadMaxFileSize</param-name>
<param-value>600m</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>uploadThresholdSize</param-name>
<param-value>10m</param-value>
</init-param>
 <init-param>
<param-name>uploadRepositoryPath</param-name>
<param-value>/uploadfolder/</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
The upload process is working perfectly fine.
Now coming to the problem:
Suppose one user is logging into the application & uploading say 400MB of files.
Until these files are linked to the model objects as my understanding of step 2, if second user tries to open the application he gets stuck with the loading page.
The page gets loaded only after the request files are linked to the component values(Step 2 above) and updates the backing bean's values.
I don't see any error in the logs. User is getting stuck. The user is getting stuck only when uploading the files. The other operations like searching are not blocking any other activities performed by the user.
Server used: IBM Application Server V6.0. CPU is normal, memory usage is normal.

Dear friend,
i am also trying to upload using the common file upload.
when try to run the file error is coming
can give some suggestion.
can i use if concurrent user file upload at a time

Yahoo BrowserPlus file upload

Hi,
I'd like to offer my users file uploads via the groovy new Yahoo BrowserPlus.
The BrowserPlus API call takes a URL parameter, documented as:
"The url to POST the file to. Can be relative to invoking URL, e.g. if service is invoked from http://www.foo.com/uploader/index.html and url argument is upload.php, the final url will be http://www.foo.com/uploader/upload.php"
Can anyone tell me what the parameter should be set to in order to upload files to WWV_FLOW_FILES?
Thanks
jd

JD,
If you haven't already, install the Firebug plugin for Firefox. Create an APEX page uploads a file. Open Firebug > Net tab > upload your file. You can see exactly what URL and parameters it's posting to (either wwv_flow.show or wwv_flow.accept). Understand that you will probably need at the very least the following parameters in addition to your file:
- p_flow_id (the app number)
- p_flow_step_id (the page number)
- p_instance (the session ID
- p_request (probably optional, but you might want to set it)
You can extract them from any page via JavaScript:
console.log('The App ID is: '+$v('pFlowId'));
I went through this exercise writing my [jApex jQuery plugin|http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/japex-a-jquery-plugin-for-apex/] and it's a good learning experience.
I looked at the Yahoo BrowserPlus plugin the other day and it seems interesting. I'm curious to see what the uptake will be, as it's pretty new. Let us know how it goes as this would be a great howto for the APEX community.

How to restrict users from uploading malicious files(exe, dll,etc) & limit file size in a webform

Hello, please i have a file atachment field in a form on my site. I want to restrict the size of the file that can be uploaded and the type. It's a vacancy page and I want candidates to only upload doc and pdf files. I want to also limit the file size to 50mb only. How can this be done within the BC system.
Thanks.

The file extension can't be trusted, like the mime-type it can be faked by a malicious user. Also this method can just be avoided altogether by anyone who has javacript turned off. Using javascript for this is not even remotely secure.
Isn't there a way to allow file uploading but specify a whitelist of filetypes (preferably checked using byte headers or some effective method) somewhere in admin?
Liam Dilley wrote:
Hey there,
You can do the file extension with jquery for example. The basic aspect of that is:
var ext = $('#my_file_field').val().split('.').pop().toLowerCase();
if($.inArray(ext, ['exe','dll','jpg','jpeg']) == -1) {
alert('invalid extension!');
So what is hapepning there is that it checks the value of the field when someone has added the file and checks the file extensiona and produces an alert but you can do as you need.
You could run this on hover of the submit button, on change of the actual file attachement field or on click of the submit button in the checks before it submits.
BC limits files to 100mb anyway so you should be ok on that front, they wont be able to be crazy uploading.

File upload from form using cf8 file functions within cfscript?

essentially, i'm wondering if anyone can give me an example
of a way to replicate cffile upload using cf8's native file
manipulation functions within a cfscript tag?
more specifically, i am wondering if anyone had any code
examples for uploading a file specified by a user on an html form
using cf8's file functions (fileOpen, fileCopy, fileDelete,
fileMove, fileClose, etc....) within a cfscript tag. i've done this
a number of times in the past using upload through cffile, but i'd
like to take advantage of cf8's new native file functions and be
able to deploy the code within a cfscript block.
i've found some simple examples of the file functions within
the docs and online, but nothing showing me how to take a file from
an html form and upload it where i want it, as cffile will do.
thanks in advance for any help.

those cf8 file functions are for manipulating files on the
server.
you still need to upload the file in one way or another.
as for replicating cffile action=upload in cfscript: just
write a
function that uses cffile tag to upload a file, and call that
function
from your cfscript!

How do I allow users to upload personal files through website?

How do I allow users to upload personal files through our website?
I am trying to allow the visitors the ability to upload images for a future contest we will be hosting. I am trying to build a submit form with personal fields (already got this done) along with a field they can upload 1 or 2 images. I want the form to send me an email with details along with image files. I have a BC webbasic+ account and I am using Muse for my web editing.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
You could apply a "file attachment" field within the web form. If needing more than 1 file attachment you'll need to access your form code and hard-code the additional field.
The form will collect the file(s) and will be held within the case details under "related files". You can also assign a workflow to recieve notifications however only 1 file will appear in each email. To see the other files you'll need to access your order details.
All this can be create and managed within your site's admin. yoursite.com/admin
Within the site admin...

Get the root folder name once user will upload any files to subfolder with in this root folder using sharepoint designer WF??

Hi,
How to get the root folder name using sharepoint designer WF? i have a document library with root folders and subfolders. so i am trying to get the root specific root folder name attaching with email once user will
upload any files to subfolders within that root folder.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to get the root folder name in SharePoint Designer Workflow when there is file uploading.
The “Path” field of the current item holds the relative path of a file, as a workaround, you can retrieve the value of the “Path” as string, then split the string
value with a delimiter character of “/” to meet your requirement.
In SharePoint Designer 2010, there is no OOTB action to split the string. You can use the custom workflow actions below to achieve it.
Here is a link about the related actions I use in this scenario:
https://spdwfstringactions.codeplex.com/
Settings of workflow as below:
It works well in my environment:

Wss3 Issues with user check in files from within excel or word 2010

I have got a user reporting that he is experiencing (and it is getting more and more often) that when a file is checked out in excel or word, he then edit it, followed by clicking check in on the File tab within either excel or word. He then gets error see
image below.
Just wonder if anyone has seen this before? and where do I start...?
i have checked the site collection is about 12 GB in size, there are quite a few subsites in the area where this user is working, there are about 150 subsites, 3 levels... our wss3 version is 12.0.0.4621

Yesterday I just had another user report the similar issue with with office complaining that the file was not checked out therefor upload (check-in) was failed.
Please see the version and build number of MS Office
Forgot to say, we are all on the same release and updates for MS Office as well as IE.

How to allow users to upload a flat file to BW

Hi All,
For a planning application I would like to permit our users to upload a flat file on their local desktop to the infopackage and execute the load.
We would like to empower the users to prepare and upload their flat files into BW from their desktop without asking for BW support.
Please let me know if any of you have followed this approach.
Thanks
Karen

Hi,
The possible steps..
1. Create a small program and then give
Selection Screen:
FIle name : -
Note: Ask users give always same file name i.e. xyz.csv
Once user will give file name and execute it then file will save in Application Server (You fix the path like /usr/sap/BI1/DVEBMGS00/work, you create seperate folder in Application server)
2. Create a small Program with is using Events..
REPORT ZTEST_EV.
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
 EVENTID = 'ZEVENT1'.
 EVENTPARM = 'ZEVENTPARAM'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
 EXPORTING
 I_EVENTID = EVENTID
 I_EVENTPARM = EVENTPARM
 EXCEPTIONS
 BAD_EVENTID = 1
 EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST = 2
 EVENTID_MISSING = 3
 RAISE_FAILED = 4
 OTHERS = 5
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 ENDIF.
3. Once user will upload the file in Step 1, then he need to run this Program,.
4. You craetea Process Chain using this Event, then once User will run this program then the Data Loads will happen through Process Chain.
Note: Eventhough this is lengthy process, it is protected 100%, because we are not giving any access to User, we just given reports/programs to execute.
Thanks

How to allow the user to upload a file from their desktop to MII Server?

Hi,
Is there a way for the user to specify a file on their local computer to upload to the MII server for processing? We have a method that works for uploading from a shared network drive, but now the need/desire is to allow the user to upload a file from their desktop.
Ideally, this would be a file browser that the user would click on to browse their local desktop and select the file and click "Upload" but not sure what's possible?
This is using 12.1 SP4.
Thanks for the help.

How to resolve this?

Hi,
This code will solve ur problem.
public void onActionUploadFile(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionUploadFile(ServerEvent)
    IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateFileUploadDownloadView.IContextElement.FILE_RESOURCE);

    IPrivateFileUploadDownloadView.IContextElement element = wdContext.currentContextElement();
    if(element.getFileResource() !=null)
         try
              String mimeType = binaryType.getMimeType().toString();
              byte[] file = element.getFileResource();
              //element.s

Screen hangs when user types in some text in file upload component

Dear All
I am using file upload component in webdynpro java in a custom application and added some validation logic on the file
selected. This is being used to upload jpeg files to KM repository. Now the issue is if user types some text in the file
upload input field and click on upload button the screen hangs and it goes to infinite loop. It seems that the framework is not able to accept and check the arbitrary value entered by user.
Can anyone tell me how this can be sorted out?
Thanks

Hello Sudeep,
I have also faced the same issue and to me it seems an issue with the UI element itself. Please follow the following threads for more information:

File Upload and Download based on user login

I have a feature wherein the application user can upload a file. I had initially created this using the straightforward process suggested in the Apex tutorial, using the APEX_APPLICATION_FILES view. However, now, I need to have a feature where I have to display only the files that are uploaded by the user that is logged in, and provide a link to download those files. The "created_by" field stores the username of the Oracle user, who is not the same as the application user.
Can someone suggest me the steps to implement this?

Hi GauriT,
I would try something like this:
1) Create a table FILE, say:
Name            Type
NAME           VARCHAR2(4000)
DESCRIPTION    VARCHAR2(4000)
OWNER          VARCHAR2(100)
ID             NUMBER(38)
BLOB_CONTENT   BLOB
MIME_TYPE      VARCHAR2(4000)2) Create a page process to call with a button:
BEGIN
IF ( :P1_FILE_NAME IS NOT NULL ) THEN
     INSERT INTO FILE(id, name, description, owner, blob_content, mime_type)
          SELECT ID, :P1_FILE_NAME, :P1_DESCRIPTION, v('APP_USER'), blob_content, mime_type
          FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
          WHERE name = :P1_FILE_NAME;
     DELETE FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES WHERE name = :P1_FILE_NAME;
END IF;
END;- :P1_FILE_NAME is a file browse item
- :P1_DESCRIPTION is a text field
- v('APP_USER') returns the logged in user
3) With this table FILE you certainly can figure out something to display only the files that are uploaded by the user that is logged in. Eg:
SELECT name
FROM FILE
WHERE owner = v('APP_USER');Hope this gives an idea,
Roger
