Hi ALl,

I am fetching the data from different tables and after getting the data into the final itable am uploading to front end using ws_download function.

I just want to put progress indicator to show the process during ws_download uploads the data into file.

Have any idea?

I know this process of coding to get progress indicator.

My problem is after fetching all the data into itable, i down load it to front end using ws_download function.

If i put progress indicator function before ws_download. It doesn't show actual progress of system while updating data into excel. Anyideas?

Infact the actual problem is system is timing out while using ws_download function.. uploading data to excel.

Any ideas are appreciated.

If I understood correctly, you cannot show the progress of ws_download function module. either you can call before and after ws_download.

Regarding timing out, probably the you are trying download huge amount of data. may be you need download partly to the presentation server.

And also check with basis people there will be some settings how much time should a program execute, if you increase it might solve your problem.

Hi,

Please check with basis people adjust time out settings.

you upload into different subsets to avoid timing issue.

You can not use the progress indicator to tell you the status of the WS_DOWNLOAD because of course the progress indicator will be outside of the the function call. If you really wanted to use a progress indicator you would have to code the download yourself using OLE, then you would be able to put a progress indicator in the middle of the OLE code. But be warned, the using a progress indicator does slow down the processing. We had a program that would show the progress after ever record processed, it took forever, when we changed it to only show every 1000 records, it really ran fast.

Be careful....

I think all you can do is to manage the program so that it selects fewer records in each run and therefore downloads less data. But you'll have to execute the program more than once.

Your basis people probably won't want to change the timeout parameters for one program.
