How to open files ?

[S0019300750]

Hi all KM Experts

I am developing an application in WebDynpro for displaying search results.

Now in search results I can show the documents links.

But my requirement is, when user clicks on the link, that document should get opened. I mean if it is doc file then in MS Word, if it pdf then in Adobe acrobat Reader etc.

Please tell me how to code this.

Hi,

If you use KM Document IView in your link to access your documents then they will be opened in respective applications (acrobat Reader / MS Word).

The mime types are all registered in Mime Handler Service and by default doc and pdf are already registered there.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/07/b6b0d706fb44caab64750a0bdaba09/frameset.htm

So your link should look like:

https://portal.server/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/myfile.pdf

So if some one clicks on the above link, a pdf file is opened in Acrobat Reader.

Hi Praveen

Thanks for reply.

But I want to add this functionality into my custom iView.

Can I call the standard iView from my custom iView?

Hi,

You should just build the path with KM Docs component in your custom IView.

Some thing like this will generate the required URL:

IURLGeneratorService urlGenService =
                (IURLGeneratorService) ServiceFactory.getInstance().getService(IServiceTypesConst.URLGENERATOR_SERVICE);
//Path to KM doc IView
String docsURI= urlGenService.getRelativeUri(PathKey.CONTENT_ACCESS_PATH).toExternalForm();
String urlPath = docsURI + pathToKMDocument

So show this urlPath as link in your search result.
