File path defaulted to 'C:\fakepath' when attaching an original on PLM WUI

[Former Member]

Hi,

When trying to attach an original via PLM WUI, we notice that the file path is defaulted as 'C:\fakepath' instead of the document path of the original.

We see this behaviour happening only with PLM WUI, and the functionality works perfectly fine with SAP GUI.

Any expert opinions appreciated.

HI Vivek,

If you go to Internet Explorer; Tools; Internet Option; Security; Custom;  find the "Include local directory path when uploading files to a server" (it is quite a ways down) and click on "Enable"  You may have to restart your computer, but this works & eliminates that "fakepath" that inhibits the upload file path.
