Error Frontend-Service-Method WebBGUI / List files Folder Y:\TEMP

[vascoschultz]

Hi,

we got an error when printing documents in WebGUI.

When i check the IE file browser, it seems to be set to Z:\

How can i change this so either the filesystem in the browser uses Y:\ or the WebGUI uses Z:\ ?

Hello Vasco,

Some time ago it was decided, by the web browser vendors, that the NPAPI would be removed from their products.

Thus, plugins like the JRE would no longer work inside such browsers.

The WEBGUI allowed the download/upload of files via a java applet - thus, a valid JRE was required.

Given the fact that the JRE could no longer work inside web browsers, the WEBGUI applet would not work anymore.

As an alternative, our development support created a new solution, based on HTML5: the WEBGUI File Browser.

The reason why you see a virtual drive, called z: is because the WEBGUI File Browser is activated. It is the only possible approach to have the upload/download of files via WEBGUI.

You can read more about it in KBA 2249454 and in SAP note 2283933 .

Kind regards,

Cris

We don't have option to execute any executable files from cl_gui_frontend_services . Could you please help in achieving this ? I have to run an .EXE file through a custom program from WEBGUI.
