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...

Hi, I'm having the same issue which I believe will be resolved by the solution above.

I understand that I need to modify the Set AppSet Parameters...but am having much trouble finding where this option is located.

I have logged onto BPC Administration, and than an Appset.

On the left panel I see the usual options: Dimension Library, Application, Secuirty..etc

On the right panel when I have my Appset highlighted I see: Add a new appset, Set App set status, etc

But I do not see SetAppset Parameters?? How do I get there??

The user I am logged in has the Administration, Appset, WebApp, etc permissions...

Thanks in Advance!

You don't change this in the admin console itself, but in the web admin tasks. Logon to the http://servername/osoft with the installation user, choose administration. Now you will see under the web admin tasks the opton set appset parameters. If you only see set application parameters, means that you are not logged on to the portal with the correct admin user. Once in the appset parameters, just follow the instructions in this thread.
