Hi All,

I am trying to get Cookies file path through Windows Registry(REGEDIT), using following function Module

DATA:lv_key(255) VALUE
'SOFTWARE\MiCROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER\SHELL FOLDERS',
     lv_root TYPE i value '1',
     lv_value_name(255) VALUE 'Cookies',
     lv_string(255) value  '<MISSING>'.
*
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_GET_REGVALUE'
     EXPORTING
          root           = lv_root
          key            = lv_key
          value_name     = lv_value_name
     CHANGING
          string         = lv_string
     EXCEPTIONS
          registry_error = 1
          OTHERS         = 2.

I am getting file path, when execute in SAP GUI (4.6C) but I am getting REGISTRY_ERROR, when execute in ITS environment.

Kindly suggest. Appriciate your help

Hi,

Please check the Key , I think this should not be in all CAPS .

'Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellFolders'

Srini.

GUI_GET_REGVALUE is only supported in SAPGUI environment. You can't use it under ITS.

Hi,

try to flush after call:

DATA:lv_key(255) VALUE
'SOFTWARE\MiCROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER\SHELL FOLDERS',
     lv_root TYPE i value '1',
     lv_value_name(255) VALUE 'Cookies',
     lv_string(255) value  '<MISSING>'.
*
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_GET_REGVALUE'
     EXPORTING
          root           = lv_root
          key            = lv_key
          value_name     = lv_value_name
     CHANGING
          string         = lv_string
     EXCEPTIONS
          registry_error = 1
          OTHERS         = 2.
CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH( ).

The flush does the synchronization between GUI frontend and SAP server backend. After flush lv_string will get value.

Sorry, nonsense - did not read thoroughly. But it has been said: No GUI function without SAPGUI.

You can get the registry value only if your ITS server runs on a windows server, but then via OS command.
