SAP GUI shortcut: problem with download

[Former Member]

Hello, gurus.

Our WD application opens SAP GUI transaction using shortcut. We make this file dynamically and download it using

cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response( i_filename = 'test1.sap'

i_content = lv_result

i_mime_type = 'application/x-sapshortcut'

i_inplace = abap_true

).

At several computers it works fine.

But one of our customers receives strange download prompt:

"Do you want to save this file?

Name: test1.sap.sap - <i>dowble extension</i>

Type: SAP GUI Shortcut, 233 bytes

From: our server"

and only two buttons are available: "Save" and "Cancel".

Was anyone faced with this problem? I guess that there are some special settings on customer's computer, but I can't find which exactly.

Hi!

The customer ...

1. needs an installed SAPGUI

2. needs an entry on his computer that files with the extension sap are to be opened with sapgui (explorer). I have had other cases where even entries in the windows registry were required ... however i know that problem. in my cases we always fixed it but in most cases it was an awful process of trial&error.

Hi, Volker!

Thank you for your reply.

I have already resolved my problem. It was related with security settings of Internet Explorer. May be it will be useful for somebody else...

There was flag at "Advanced" tab of "Internet Options" - "Do not save encrypted pages to disk". This flag must be unchecked.

When I checked this flag I repeated this problem at my computer.
