Downloading files from R/3

[former_member211905]

Hi,

We are currently facing a problem with downloading files from R/3.

We are using Single Sign-on between our EP6.0 portal and our R/3 system.

We start R/3 using a iView with transaction SMEN

When we run any transaction and try to download the data to a local file on the pc, we are getting some error messages, first we it looks like we have to enter some file attributes, this is were the Java Applet with the question where to store the file is supposed to come, after a while I can write in the filename and then I get a security warning, "an applet tries to download the file c:\temp\test" ,I press Yes and then I get an error message like this: Security Warning "Cannot write to file"

My guess is that we have to open some ports in the firewall, because the ITS servers and the Portal are not located in the same security zones, but does anyone know which ports we are using for this?

Best Regards

Hi Frode

Would it be ok to start SAPGUI for Windows instead? There can be issues with downloading files with SAPGUI for HTML...

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your answer, but our users are used to do this via our old EP5.0 portal.

Now we have introduced our new portal 'ostentatiously' on the local intranet etc and they had high expectations to the new one, so I don't think they want to use the 'old' Wingui.

Hi Frode

If it's the same ITS that is being used, then I would have expected that it would behave the same under EP6.0 as it did under EP5. Is it maybe some IE settings that are causing the problem?

Hi again,

It's the same ITS but the new EP6.0 server is in a different security zone.

Ahah, you mean it's in a different security zone in IE! I thought you were referring to portal security zones...

I don't think it's a port issue, as far as I am aware ITS only uses the one port, but you may need to set some IE settings for the new zone.
