FPM / Method cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response is not working

[Former Member]

Hi all,

i am trying to open some files like XLS or PPT in Portal by calling the method cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response .

but i am getting an error, i know where is the problem, in the Portal after clicking on Bottun , a new window appears and it has the URL and no standard function (like BACK or NEXT .. its a popup with URL) this window contains my files, and after clicking on a file, another popup (for XLS or PPT or Word) will appear (OPEN SAVE CANCEL). and in this case, a MS-Office Products Popup appears only in some cases like on the server or MS Outlook.. but nor on a Popup that has been programmed with FPM.

so i am looking now for another method or a solution that can resolve my problem

Best Regards

I am too facing this fluke behaviour with FPM. The behaviour of download button varies just because it is being called from FPM. See the images

Window called within FPM Application: (The file download dialog is 'not-normal')

Window called from an independent non-FPM application: (The file download dialog is 'normal').

Any views?

Hi, I've same problem. Any ideas ?

[Abhijeet-K]

I had accidentally checked the 'File Download in Separatm Browser Window' check box in the FPM application configuration. check if you have checked it. Unchecking it resolved the issue for me.

Hallo Thomas,

OfficeControl are not supported to work with POPUPs.

see [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/d1/af8841349e1909e10000000a155106/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/d1/af8841349e1909e10000000a155106/content.htm]

its not a normal popup, its a window missing the standard function like Back Next Google search ... toolbar ect , it contains only the Link (URL) and this window, will be generated with the FPM and contains some subscreens, and one of those subscreens contains my files and after clicking on the file, i have to download first the Activ-X and then i have to click again on the file to diplay it , but after downloading the Activ-X, am getting an error...

Hi,

what error are you getting ?.

If it is a FPM UIBB, i would do something like this.

embed this office control into a view and that view to WINDOW. Embed this window to the FPM UIBB. Remember that this view would be brought to alive only if there is a valid XSTRING is bound to the UI dataSource property.

You also need to take into account how ActivateInplace property is being used. Refer the HELP inlink from my earlier post

Hallo Thomas,

I am not able to understand what exactly your problem is. Probably other SDN's would be able to help you further.

i think Explorer doesnt suport FPM, cause everything works fine with Mozella, but still want to make works with INTERNET EXPLORER

[thomas_jung]

FPM does absolutely support Internet Explorer, but you are hitting a specific security "feature" of Internet Explorer

>the first popup who is blocking the Links, after clicking on it, am getting an error

The Popup is coming from Internet Explorer, not Web Dynpro. It is a security feature to add another user confirmation before allowing file downloads. Unfortuntely after confirming, IE doesn't just continue with the download. Instead it reloads the page and resends the last request object to the server. This confuses Web Dynpro and causes you to have to refresh the application before it functions properly.

You should add your WDA website host to your trusted sites configuration in IE and make sure that IE doesn't prompt for trusted sites. This is all configuration done on the client side in IE.

Hi would you please explaine or show hoa can i refresh the application before it functions , is this possible, cause as you know Mozella is not that good for WD App, somtimes it breaks everything

[thomas_jung]

>Hi would you please explaine or show hoa can i refresh the application before it functions

I think you just need to change the configuration in Internet Explorer to remove the file download prompt.
