Data Upload: file extension not allowed

[Former Member]

Hi alls!!!

I would like to upload a CSV file to the server.

I updated through BPC Web the

ALLOW_EXTENSIONS = [ALL]
ALLOWEXTENSIONS = [ALL]

but it is not working, even after a re-log in and a Re-initialize of the client options ("clear the local application information")

If i go on the registry of my computer andI go to

HKEY_USERS > S-1-5-21-448539723-602162358-682003330-1003 > Software > VB and VBA program Settings > Outlooksoft 5 > LATEST

There is an entry ALLOWEXTENTION and if i put the value to CSV it works...

But i dont want to do that like this... why it is not working with BPC web?

Did you also add the parameters DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS and ALLOW_FILE_SIZE?

Usually after adding the 3 parameters it works fine. Maybe check if there is not something lika a space behind the [ALL] when you updated the parameter. And try to check into the tbldefaults if you see the entry in there. If it is still not working, try to delete the parameters, add them again and try to re-logon again and upload the file.

I copied this from 5.1 SP2 release notes where the parameters where introduced:

DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS:

BPC by default allows uploading of the following

file types, even if you do not set this parameter:

XLS, XLT, DOC, DOT, PPT, POT, XML, MHT,

MHTML, HTM, HTML, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB,

ZIP, PDF, PPTX, PPTM, POTX, POTM, DOCX,

DOCM, DOTX, DOTM, TDM, PDM, JPG, PNG,

GIF, CSS, MRC

ALLOW_FILE_SIZE:

Enter file size (MB) to allow uploading. A

warning message appears if the file size

exceeds the parameter value when you upload

a file.

If this parameter is not set, you can upload

files with a size of 100MB or less .

Perfect Joost... it is now working!

Here is what i did:

 ALLOW_EXTENSIONS = [ALL]
ALLOW_FILE_SIZE=99
ALLOWEXTENSIONS=[ALL]
DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS=                                    //I left this empty

Problems solved

thanks again Joost...
