cl_gui_frontend_services problem

Former Member — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 22:56:52 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use JCO to call an custom BAPI. But the BAPI uses the class: cl_gui_frontend_services, which JCO cannot handle.

I only need to use two methods of cl_gui_frontend_services:

1. get_platform: Return Operating System Platform

2. gui_download: Download Data to Client PC

I wonder if there are other existing classes or programs which can replace these methods of cl_gui_frontend_services?

Any ideas and suggestions are highly appreciated.

Best,

Bing

Try to use

1. To get OS of presentation server (local system)

2. Try to fm DOWNLOAD or WS_DOWNLOAD or GUI_DOWNLOAD. If these are not RFC enabled then write wrapper function module around one of these and use it.

I think CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES Some methods of this class are not functional using SAP GUI for Java because they are not appropriate for a Java application (like "current directory"), required resources (like the Windows Registry) or Java APIs are not available.

These above said are ONLY alternative solutions
