Hi,

Open Dataset will always save the contents to the Application server and not the local pc (presentation server).

Once you have saved to the Appl server, you would have to use some RFC. See more details in the IWki Blog mentioned at the following location:

Hope its helpful; to you.

Hi,

The OPEN DATASET always saves the file on the application server. to save the data on the presentation server USE the remote function module.

Hi,

If the presentation server you are going to use is one for very few in number then you can check below article which describes about making your PC as a RFC destination and communicate in background. In background you can't communicate with normal PCs.

thanks all.

for the mean time i used background processing.

I'll ask the basis to do the 'Communication to presentation server in bacjground mode' to save the data in presentation layer.

ti'll next time.

Hi

Background Processing deals with Applictaion server only. It doesn't interact with presentation server.

what you can do is just create a folder on application server to get your files downloaded to app server from background and then write a separate program to download those files from application server to presentation server.
