Problem with File download in ALV via ITS. Please help!

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi Experts,

I have a ALV report which I have web enabled using ITS service. In the ALV there is a delivered functionality for file download. It works fine when the report is run in the SE80. But when I run the ITS service for the report and choose file download option it displays a page saying "this page has been diaplayed due to technical reasons" with title "File properties". In addition it looks for Java runtime in the browser. After all this it opens a popup window for selecting path and file name.

This is not user friendly and many customers have rasied their concerns on it.

My question is that,

Q1: What is the need of this "File properties page"? Why ITS calls this while ABAP editor does not?

Q2: Is there any way we can suppress this so that it directly opens a popup window for selecting path and file name?

Please help me.

Thanks

Gopal

Hi Gopal,

you are right these intermediate screens are not user friendly, although they are technically required to provide the same functionality in SAPGUI for HTML as in SAPGUI for Windows. With ITS 6.20 Patch 22, SAP Netweaver 2004 SP18 and SAP Netweaver 2004s SP09, SAPGUI for HTML suppresses the display of these technical screens. The relevant note is 750971. They are still there but automatically processed in the background invisible for the user.

Best regards,

Hello Klaus,

i have also the problem with these intermediate screens!

We have in between installed patch 22 for ITS 6.20 and SP18 at SAP Netweaver 2004!

But they are still not processed invisible for the users.

Are there any additional parameters, which controls this behaviour(~webgui_updown_make_visible is not used!)?

How can i check, if i have really a.ex. the actual ws.jar-file or other related files of the patch?

We are using the standalone ITS with an own (modified) IAC with an own CI-design for the webpages. The intermediate screens are displayed with the "normal" SAPGUI-design because of the parameter ~generatedynpro. Without this it does not work, because the template SAPLSIT_0100 is missing!

Or do you have an example for such a intermediate template with the applet for an upload of a file?

Thanks in advance

Felix

Hi Felix,

I just checked it with Patch 22 in IE6 and Mozilla FF 2.0 and SUN java VM 1.5.X. In webgui these screens are no longer visible.

I don't think that this java based download really works in an IAC with mixed mode. This stuff was written for pure webgui (this means a service with a ~webgui 1 setting). For IACs I would not set ~generatedynpro 1 just to use the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. Instead there are function modules ALEWEB_GET_CONTEXT for upload and ALEWEB_DOWNLOAD for download of documents from an IAC (but not webgui). ITS services of SAP SRM i.e. make usage of this function modules.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,

Klaus

Hi Klaus,

thanks for this information.

Where can i find examples of a service template and the ABAP-coding? (We don't have SAP SRM ).

Best regards

Hi Felix,

the ITS development team ships a service IT00. This service just provides a bunch of test pages. Two of the tests are for testing up and download. Tcode is IT00 and program SAPMITST1.

Hope the example helps you.

Best regards,

Klaus
