WAD 7.0 Load html - file from MIME-repository

Hi guys,
I have the following problem:
I have implemented web application with WAD 7.0. Now I have to put a button in it. If I press this button new window should be opened with a file (html - file) which is stored in MIME Repository. With WAD 3.5 it was easy I could use javascript function: window.open().
window.open("/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/.../file.htm","NewWindow","width=750,height=700,left=100,top=100");
Now this solution doesn't work anymore. I tryed to change the path but without success.
I tried with command wizard but I was not successfull too. Maybe you have some idees how can I deal with this problem.
Regards
Erwin

Yes I tried it at first with Script Item but it did not work. I am not sure how should I change the path because of the portal:
"/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/.../file.htm" - this path is not working anymore
Another option that you mentioned I do not want to use. I have about 20 different html files in MIME repository so I would have to create 20 different web application. I do not like this solution.

Issue in WAD 7.0 regarding opening document from MIME repository

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue in WAD 7.0 regarding opening document from MIME repository..
My requirement
I want to have a button , on clicking of this button one excel file ( already located at MIME Repository) should open in a new window.
To achieve the same, I have added one button. and also added one java script web item in my web template.
And as per my understanding, I need to write command/code in the script web item.
I have tried with several standard commands available, but not yet succeeded.
Please suggest the appropriate command or code , that I can put into the java script web item.
Also please provide me, if there is any other solution.
Thanks and Regards,

I think you might be posted in the frong forum, what is WAD 7?

Close a loaded HTML file

Dear Friends,
i have developed a ticker, in that if the user clicks help
button, it will load a HTML file from the site. my file works fine,
wherever user clicks on that button it is creating new native html
file. i can disable my help button when they native HTML browser. i
need to enable my help button when they close the HTML window. i
dont know how to trace the closing of HTML window.
to load HTML iam using the following code:
var initOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new
NativeWindowInitOptions();
initOptions.resizable = false;
initOptions.maximizable = false;
initOptions.minimizable = false;
var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 630, 500);
var html2:HTMLLoader = HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(true,
initOptions, true, bounds);
var urlReq2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.xyz.com/desktop/help.html");
html2.load(urlReq2);
helpbutton.enable = false;
html2.stage.nativeWindow.activate();
i need to enable my helpbutton, when they close (unload),
this html page..
thanks and Regards,
Syed Abdul Rahim

Add an event listener for the window's close event:
html2.stage.nativeWindow.addEventListener(NativeWindow.CLOSE,
closeFunction);
function closeFunction( event:Event ):void
helpbutton.enable = true;
}

Infopackage-Load Many Files from Application Server and later Archive/Move

Hi All..
I have a doubt,   I have a requirement of take many files to load into BI 7.0.. I used the infopackage before with option:
Load Binary File From Application server
I load information successfully... only with one file ...but If I can load many files (with different names) like the next list.. I think it's not a good idea modify the file name (path) on infopackage each time).. :
*All of this files will be on one server that itu2019s map into AL11.. Like
Infopfw
BW_LOAD_20090120.txt
BW_LOAD_20090125.txt
BW_LOAD_OTHER_1.txt
u2026.
Etc..
This directory it's not in BW server.. It's other server..but I can load form this location (one file by one)
Could you help me with this questions:
-     How can I Use an infopackage with routine that take all the files..one by oneu2026 in order of creation dateu2026and load into Target? Is it possible?.. I have some knowledge of ABAP.. but I don´t know exactly how I can say to system this logicu2026
-     In addition is it possible move this files to other locationu2026 like into Infopfwarchive u2026 just to have an history of files loaded.
I saw that in infopackage you have an option to create a routine.. in ABAP codeu2026 Iu2019m a little bit confused because I donu2019t know how I can specify all the path..
I try with:
Infopfw
InfopfwFile.csv
Infopfw
This is the abap code that automatically you see and you need to modifyu2026
Create a routine for file name
This routine will be called by the adapter,
when the infopackage is executed.
          p_filename =
          p_subrc = 0.
Thank you for your ideas or recommendations.
Al

Hi Reddy, thank you for your answer
I have some doubuts.. when you explain me the option:
All the above files are appending dates at the end of the file....
You can load the files through infopackage by using Routines and pick the files based on date at the end of the file..***
I need to ask you if you think that when you know the date of the file and the infopackage pick each file... thi can work for many files??... or how it's possible control this process?
About this option, I want to ask you If when you menction Unix code... where it's programed this code?.. in the routine of BW Infopackage??
****Or
Create two folders in your BW in Application server level, in AL11 (ask Basis team)
I call it is F1 and F2 folders.
First dump the files into F1 I assume that the file name in F1 is "BW_LOAD_20090120.txt", using Unix code you rename the file and then keep in the same foleder F1 or move to F2.
Then create InfoPackage and fix the file name (i.e. you renamed), so you don't need to change everyday your file name at infopackage level.Because in AL11 everyday the file are overwrite.
To I get BW_LOAD_20090120.txt file in F1, then I renamed to BW_LOAD.txt and loaded into BW, then tomorrow I get BW_LOAD_20090125.txt in F1, then I renamed to BW_LOAD.txt....
so in this way it will work.You need to schedule the Ubix script in AL11.
This is the way how to handle the application server...I'm using the same logic.
Thank you soo much.

Load XML file from addon domain without cross-domain Policy file

Hello.
Assuming that there are two addon domains on the same server: /public_html/domain1.com      and      /public_html/domain2.com
I try to load XML file from domain2.com into domain1.com without using cross-domain policy file (since it doesn’t work on xml files in my case).
So the idea is to use php file in order to load XML and read it back to flash.
I’ve found an interesting scripts that seems to do the job but unfortunately I can't get it to work. In my opinion there is somewhere problem with AS3 part. Please take a look.
Here are the AS3/PHP scripts:
AS3 (.swf in www.domain1.com):
// location of the xml that you would like to load, full http address
var xmlLoc:String = "http://www.domain2.com/MyFile.xml";
// location of the php xml grabber file, in relation to the .swf
var phpLoc:String = "loadXML.php";
var xml:XML;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(phpLoc+"?location="+escape(xmlLoc) );
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoaded);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOErrorHandler);
loader.load(request);
function onIOErrorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
    trace("There was an error with the xml file "+e);
function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void {
    trace("the rss feed has been loaded");
    xml = new XML(loader.data);
    // set to string, since it is passed back from php as an object
    xml = XML(xml.toString());
    xml_txt.text = xml;
PHP (loadXML.php in www.domain1.com):
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$location = "";
if(isset($_GET["location"])) {
    $location = $_GET["location"];
    $location = urldecode($location);
$xml_string = getData($location);
// pass the url encoded vars back to Flash
echo $xml_string;
//cURLs a URL and returns it
function getData($query) {
    // create curl resource
    $ch = curl_init();
    // cURL url
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query);
    //Set some necessary params for using CURL
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   //Execute the curl function, and decode the returned JSON data
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    return $result;
    // close curl resource to free up system resources
    curl_close($ch);
?>

I think you might be right about permissions/settings on the server for php. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to adjust them.
So I wrote my own script - this time I used file path instead of http address of the XML file. It works fine in my case.
Here it is:
XML file on domain2.com:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/1.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/1.jpg" file_name= "1"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/2.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/2.jpg" file_name= "2"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/3.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/3.jpg" file_name= "3"> </image>
</gallery>
swf on domain1.com:
var imagesXML:XML;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyPHPfile.php");
varURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varURL.data = variables;
var MyLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
MyLoader.dataFormat =URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
MyLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, XMLDone);
MyLoader.load(varURL);
function XMLDone(event:Event):void {
    var imported_XML:Object = event.target.data.imported_XML;
    imagesXML = new XML(imported_XML);
   MyTextfield_1.text = imagesXML;
   MyTextfield_2.text = imagesXML.image[0].attribute("thumbPath"); // sample reference to attribute "thumbPath" of the first element
php file on domain1.com:
<?php
$xml_file = simplexml_load_file('../../domain2.com/galleries/gallery_1/MyXMLfile.xml'); // directory to XML file on the same server
$imported_XML = $xml_file->asXML();
print "imported_XML=" . $imported_XML;
?>
Regards
PS: for those who read the above discussion: the first and the second script work but you must test which one is better in your situation. The first script will also work between two domains on different servers. No cross domain policy file needed.

Can I load xml file from SWC without using @embed

I'm developing a mobile application in which I need to load xml files from File.applicationDirectory. This works great if the xml files are part of the main application swf. But I would like to move these xml files into a SWC so they could be shared across multiple applications.
Using FlashBuilder 4.5, when a SWC is built, I can specify files to embed in the library that are not assets (Assets Tab of Flex Library Build Path). For various design reasons, I do NOT want to embed the xml files via @embed.
When the swc is built and I open it up using a zip utility, I see the xml files in there just fine. So they are being bundled with the SWC. But how can I load these files in my main application that does not involve using @embed? When the main application is built, the swc setting for link type is "merged into code".
I wouldn't expect the application to automatically pull out the xml files from the swc and place them in the File.applicationDirectory on the mobile device. I've tried loading from there just in case but file.exists is false (as expected).
I've searched the web (and continue to do so) and all the answers seem to be to use @embed. Is there another way?
Randy

It's actually a lot easier than you think.
Just reference the file like any'ol URL using a path relative to the SWC's src directory.
So if you include the file "assets/xml/some.xml", just use that same string like you would any remote resource.
For example:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("assets/xml/some.xml"));
I believe it would also work like this "/assets/xml/some.xml", but I prefer relative paths so the link doesnt break if moved out of the SWC...

Why does DW CC 2014.1 Fluid Grid load HTML file that contains Google Analytics Tracking Code script so slowly?

I exclusively work in Fluid Grid since my site is a Responsive Web Design. I'm having trouble with slow load time in DW CC 2014.1, when my file, as they all do of course, has the Google Analytics Tracking Code script.
I'm on a Windows 8.1 using a Dell Precision M3800 Laptop with Memory 16GB (2x8GB) 1600MHz DDR3 . Each of our site's 180 or so web pages, of course, has its Google Analytics Tracking Code script. It is placed, following Google instructions, as the last entry in the <head>. Google Analytics does not instruct to place the script in the JS Folder with an scr to it, but rather in the <head>. It takes up to one and a half or two minutes for DW CC 2014.1 to load the Google Analytics Tracking Code script . That is, the grid does not show in Live View until finally analytics.js shows up in the Document Toolbar. A minute or two can add up when every page you load takes this long. And, making new Fluid Grid pages, as is done, through the Save As command; every new page made you have to deal with the minute or two wait time since all those pages have the Google Analytics Tracking Code script. Therefore, this time component alone, assuming I'm accessing and/or making 20 pages per week (and in our business this is easily the case) the math is that I'm wasting between 17 and 35 hours per year just with DW CC 2014.1 loading the much needed Google Analytics Tracking Code script.
I have loaded HTML files that do not have the Google Analytics Tracking Code script as a test and those files load at the normal quick speed.
Therefore, the new Chromium Embedded Framework browser engine has a serious load problem when it confronts an HTML5 file with a Google Analytics Tracking Code script. Oddly, the prior DW CC 2014 version, with the old browser engine did not have this slow-load problem since I was loading these same files in that DW CC version up until October 8th or so.
I think this new browser engine is a Google platform that apparently has a problem rendering or loading a Google Analytics Tracking Code script. That makes no sense.
Anyone else had this particular slow-load problem with DW CC 2014.1?
Thanks.

Wow. That sure solved the slow-load problem, at least using your suggested snippet in a simple test HTML file.
Per Google's instructions, I pasted the snippet before the closing </head> tag. And, even in that positioning in the file; the file loaded at the speed (about one second) that it did prior to DW 2014.1.
Two questions.
Will this snippet provide the same tracking data as my current GA snippet?
Because my current GA snippet is in about 200 web pages, can I retain the old snippet in most of them and place the new snippet in my approximately 5 main web pages as well as my templates so my new pages, as well as my main pages, have the new snippet. That is, can I have both snippets (i.e. old snippet in earlier pages and new snippet in main pages and new pages to be made going forward) in my website at the same time?
Of course I would not have both the old and new snippet in a web page at the same time.
I greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can provide me on this issue and thank all of you in advance.
I've provided code for both simple test files below.

Thanks a lot,

How to load jar files from remote location

Hi all,
I am trying to load jar files from remote server, from a servlet which is running on OC4j.
For doing this,First I am getting ClassLoader by using ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() and then type casting it to URLClassLoader.
But by doing it I am getting ClassCastException,because oc4j returns oracle.classloader.PolicyClassLoader instead of java.net.ClassLoader.
Appreciate if anyone can tell me how to load remote jar files using oracle.classloader.PolicyClassLoader .
Thanks
Harish

Hi,
I suppose you know about this, but just in case.
I have used jnpl to load jar files from remote location.

When i open any .HTML file from my computer it is not opening in firefox. Only a blank New Window Opens. Facing this problem since the firefox has updated.

Whenever i try to open any HTML file from my computer, it opens a new firefox window which is blank. Facing this problem after the new update. please fix this problem

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and<BR>
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
<BR>While you are in safe mode;<BR>
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''.<BR>
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.<BR>
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

Problems loading RAW files from Canon 6D in Elements 10

Elements 10 - Windows: I have been using the software for a couple of years and never had a problem loading RAW files from my Canon T2i ir 60D, however I just purchased a Canon 6D and when I try to load a RAW from the 6D I get Cannot open 'C:\User...CR2' because it is the wrong type of file. I thought cameraraw 6.5 patch would be the fix but when trying to install I get "Error loading Updater workflow"

Will the DNG files perform the same, meaning will I retain all the information that makes RAW important for processing?
Yes. That's why DNGs were invented. Adobe has put a lot of work into the DNG format for this very reason.
Raw files are proprietary and manufacturer specific. Raw formats change with every make and model of camera. Software must be updated for the new Raw format of every single camera. Adobe does an admirable job of upgrading Camera Raw for every new camera.
DNG is also a Raw format but it's open source and works in any software which can read the DNG format. If camera manufacturers used the DNG format instead of their own Raw format, you would not have to upgrade Elements 10. But they don't, and probably never will, so you must upgrade the Camera Raw plugin (and therefore Elements 10 since it's not compatible with the new Camera Raw) to read the new Raw format from the 6D or add another step to your workflow with conversion to DNG first.
