mime-download problem

[Former Member]

Hi.

I use a custom report to output information into two different mode: standard output report (with ALV) and standard output into microsoft excel using mime-download macro.

My report generate the information and after this, for the excel output, I use dynpro 100 where I call mime-download in PBO step. The problem is that if I execute my report with standard ITS service 'webgui' on a server ITS AGate version 6200.1014.44453.0 the system don't execute microsoft excel to output the data. If I execute the same report on a old ITS installation (4640.4000.36.7055) the system work correctly.

If I execute other custom module pool that work with mime-download the system work correctly. I suppose that the problem occurs only with report executed with webgui service.

Previously I had the same problem with pdf document and I solved the problem with the installation of ITS patch level 14.

Can you help me to solve this other problem?

Excuse for grammal errors.

Thanks,

Hi Simeone,

can't you insert a second download option for WebGUI only or use the ALV download functionality when not running it via a template?

Hi Simeone,

the mime-download macro is intended for use in a IAC environment. If you want to download and execute a excel file in webgui I recommend to use the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. This class provides the methods GUI_DOWNLOAD and EXECUTE which can be used. BTW, if you use these methods your report works also in SAPGUI for Windows and SAPGUI for Java.

Best regards,

Klaus
