Want to open a excel file from remote Linux server through ADF UI

HI,
My scenario is a excel template is located in LInux server in a directory. Then I need to download this excel file when I click on a hyperLink which will call the method mentioned below.
however, below method works fine if the file is on windows machine/server but not if on Linux machine. In case of LInux it gives junk file.
please suggest if any solution exists.
Thanks,
Sachin

@ user8106712,
Your post has been split away from the completed 2006 thread you had resurrected.
Hijacking someone else's discussion is poor forum etiquette.
When you do that you are saying:
"My issue is more important than yours. Ignore all that earlier stuff and just pay attention to me."
If you want considerate responses, always start your own new post.
You may also need to occasionally review the OTN Forums FAQ that is linked at the top corner of every page.

  • I want to open an excel file from a folder in the Microsoft live office on Hotmail. Their instruction is to go to tools in Firefox, go to plug-ins and then install Microsofts Office 2010. Can't find plug-h. Help?

    I have uploaded an excel file from my desk top to the Windows Live (HOTMAIL?) office suite. When I try to open the file I get an error that says my system is not supported. My system passes all of the listed criteria except for one. That is a plug in from Firefox. The instructions say to go to the Firefox menu, click on tools then plug-ins. Of course when I go to tools plug-ins is not immediately available, but when I do go to plug-ins, I am to click on Microsoft Office 2010. This plug in is supposed to allow earlier versions of office documents to be viewed as well as Office 2010. The plug-in is not available. When I search the Firefox website I am not able to find such a plug-in.
    I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox prior to V4. V4 does not support all of my e-mail clients so am not able to use V4.

    I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox V4 but I have this same problem.

  • Open an excel file from jsp

    Hi,
    I want to open an excel file on click of a link in the jsp.
    At present iam using href which i feel is not correct as it is not able to recognize the excel format and paints the entire screen with special characters.Can anyone please help me out.
    Thanks,

    In your server, there should be some way to tell the server the mime type of a file based on the file's extension. So, you tell the server for every file with the extension of .xls, it should use the mime type of application/vnd.ms-excel. Then, when the link is clicked on, the browser will receive the mime-type message of application/vnd.ms-excel and will open Excel to work with the file.
    Hope this helps,

  • Office 2013 can't open word, excel files from the network after upgrade to 8.1

    Hello,
    Recently, I upgraded all PCs from WIN 8 to Win 8.1. After the upgrade I noticed that I can't open any word documents and excel files. Before the upgraded I have no problem opened any files. All PCs have over 500GB free space on hard drive. Other PCs that
    run Win 7 have no problem open them only the one with Win 8.1. This is what I got:
    I right click--> property and there is no unblocked. All files resided on the network server.
    Please help.
    Jimmy

    Hi Jimmy,
    Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
    If so, you can post the error message and  event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
    In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?

  • How to open an excel file from labview?

    I tried to use "open file" vi from File I/O -- Advanced file functions to open an excel file in LabVIEW. Why the excel file wouldn't open after I run the program?

    In addition to ActiveX, you can also manipulate Excel data files using the Windows ADO interface - a technique that is more robust, faster and IMHO easier. Do a search on the forum as there have been several threads within the last week or so discussing this very thing.

  • Opening an excel file from a button. square brackets in filename

    Internet explorer 6. Apex 3.1
    When I open an excel file (via a button) , it has the filename as follows:
    production_report[1].csv
    The prompt to save or open has the name as production_report.csv
    This prevents people saving the opened file as square brackets are not allowed in the file name.
    Is this an apex issue (ie a problem with the way I specify the filename) or a browser issue, and is there a solution?
    I am passing the filename in to my excel download page using the items/values settings.
    eg
    ITEM P12_FILENAME
    ITEM VALUE production_report.csv

    Yes, It works on firefox. It is only an issue with Internet Explorer.
    However our web based application has to use IE and therefore when it calls apex it is in an IE browser.
    I am really just producing a csv file, and opening it in excel. If this was fixed (or customisable in some way in IE that would help)

  • Can I open a excel file from labview

    I have a program who write temperature in a excel file and i want to open this file from labview .

    This depends slightly on the amount of data you have stored within Excel.
    You can use the "Labview Functions>>FileIO>>Read from Spreadsheet file.vi" which effectively reads all lines from a text file and converts it into a numeric array.
    Alternatively, if your data structure in Excel is more complex than this, you can use ActiveX calls to Excel to retrieve it.
    Use an "ActiveX>>Automation Refnum" control and select the Excel server class. This will then enable you to access properties and methods of Excel to retrieve data from specific cells and pages.
    The attached example should help.

  • Opening an Excel file from a Website

    We have an .XLS file that our users open from an IIS 6.0 website.  A majority of our users can open the current version of the file.
    Some of our users get a cached version of the file from days ago when they click on the website's URL for the spreadsheet.  The Excel spreadsheet opens as [Read Only] [Shared] [Compatability Mode] for all of our users.  We have multiple users on
    the same PC and not all of the users have the same issue of opening a cached version.
    I have narrowed it down to something going on with the profile because I delete the profile of a user experiencing the issue and the current version of the spreadsheet opens.  This is a painful bandaid to fix the issue.
    I have found multiple copies of the spreadsheet in C:\users\<USERID>\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel   Is this where Excel stores copies of the spreadsheet when it downloads?  Is there a place in the profile that Excel stores offline
    copies of spreadsheets that are downloaded?
    I have thought about one of the following to resolve the issue:
    1.  Saving the master spreadsheet as HTML on the web site.  The problem is the webpage opens and transitoins to other "tabs" slower than the actual spreadsheet
    2.  Write a login\logoff script to clear out the location the cached file is stored.  I first have to make sure that I have the correct location.
    3.  Change settings in Excel or IE to clear out the cache that Excel is using.
    4.  Convert the Excel spreadsheet to an .XLSX file and update the URL on the website to reflect the new file
    Am I missing something or does anyone have another suggestion to resolve the issue?

  • Want to open an Excel Spreadsheet from a link.

    I am working with financial website and it has a link to a Excel Spreadsheet already design to performa complex calculation.  Spreadsheet is in Excel.  Clicking on the link does not open it and I cannot figure how to get it to open in Numbers - any ideas. 

    Hi Laura,
    This note, from a cell in the Excel spreadsheet, likely explains the difficulty:
    If you are using on older version of Excel, you may need to install an “Add-In.” On the Tools menu at the top of your screen, click Add-Ins. Select the Analysis ToolPak box, and then click OK. If necessary, follow the instructions in the setup program.
    The add-ons in Excel's Analysis Toolpak are, to the best of my knowledge, not supported in Numbers.

  • 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.
    Regards
    Dirk

  • Opening Excel Files from DB (blob column)

    My project has implemented a WEBUTIL solution to attach files into the database, view the files stored in the database (in a BLOB column), and remove the files stored in the database.
    Everything has been running smoothly. We are in final testing and have found a couple of interesting scenarios ...
    When a user tries to view an Microsoft Excel 2007 file from our application, the Excel file displays properly (as long as Microsoft Excel isn't already open - outside of our Oracle application). Once the Excel file is viewed, the system will not allow the user back to our application until after the Excel file is closed (we use the start /wait myExcelFile.xls ... command). This works perfectly for us.
    The two scenarios we encounter occur when
    1.) The user has Microsoft Excel open outside of our application and tries to open an Excel file from within our application, or
    2.) The user has the file already open (either from within our application or outside of our application) and then tries to open the file from within our application.
    Let me explain a little further because the above two scenarios are interrelated.
    When a user has Microsoft Excel open (outside of our application), and then clicks the button to open the Excel file, the system will open the file as another window (within Excel). The system will allow the user to navigate back to our application (where as, if Excel is not open outside of our application, the system will not allow the user to navigate back to our application). Once the user navigates back to our application (while the file is still open), the user can click the button to view the file again. At this point, the user is displayed a WUT-105 error message (I assume b/c the system is trying to open a file that is already open).
    I assume the two solutions are the following:
    a.) Do not allow a user to open a file that is already open (not sure how to check this from within Forms ?)
    b.) Do not allow a user to open an Excel file when another EXCEL process is already running (this will avoid allowing the user to naviagate back to our application)
    I don't know if there is a better solution.
    Do you experts have any recommendations?
    We are using Oracle Application Server 10g R2 (10.1.2.0.2), Oracle Database 10g R2 (10.2), and Oracle Developer 10g (10.1.2.0.2)
    I hope this all makes sense.
    Thanks,

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
    I believe that will work (adding a sequence number to the end of the filename)!
    We do not allow a user to update the file, only view. If a user wants to make a change, they need to remove the existing file (from the database), create a new file (outside of our application), and attach the file in our application (into the database). All updates occur outside of our application - we are not a document authoring system, just a document storage system.
    Once again, many thanks on the solution!
    Mike
