Problem with opening files in SAP Java

Former Member — Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:08:17 GMT

Hello everyone, i need some perspective on this issue.

We have a custom (Z) transaction that lets you view files recorded in GOS. The problem is with an Outlook files (.msg).

It works fine on SAP GUI for Windows. But can't be displayed when running SAP GUI for Java.

I read something about no Ms Office OLE integration with JAVA but i'm not sure what to check in my system.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello,

with the following configuration in Preferences - Desktop - MIME types, it could work.

Adjust the path accordingly, please also note the

/f for "Opens the specified message file (.msg) or Microsoft Office saved search (.oss)." at the end.

Best regards

Hi Rolf, thanks for the tip but i'm concern about this.

What if more kind of file are attached and the system try to open as ".tmp" files (x-ole-storage)?

In that case it will use that config type and fail to open in outlook.

Hello,

I am wondering why the .msg file comes with MIME type x-ole-storage instead of for example application/vnd.ms-outlook.

Different file types should come with appropriate MIME types.

It looks like some configuration in SAP DMS is needed.

But unfortunately I am not an expert in this area.

Maybe you want to have a look at also.

Best regards
