Hi,

While using FileUpload UI, after uploading file where it actually stores that data?

How do I get the file back which has been uploaded earlier?

Thanks

After the FileUpload operation, the file contents are only stored in memory of the running session. If the session ends the file content is lost. It is the responsibility of the application programmer to decide what to do with the file contents. You could in turn write the content to the file system of the application server (using the ABAP DATASET commands). More common however is to write the content into the database if you really need to persist it. This is a simple process since you can now define RAWSTRING fields in the database. You just send the XSTRING variable into a SQL statement like any other type of data field.

hi khandal......

the contents of the file are stored in the attribute which is bound to the file upload ui element.
