GUI_DOWNLOAD does not work inside Update task !!!

[Former Member]

Hi all,

         I have done an EXIT in MIGO transaction for goods movement save. Inside the EXIT  i have used GUI_DOWNLOAD  to create a file in desktop.

        Problem is my EXIT is triggered in UPDATE TASK , so i am not able to create a file using DOWNLOAD.

        Same this happened ,when i run a program in background job!!!

         is it possible to  download a file to desktop in UPDATE TASK ? if not any other alternative !!!

Thanks,
Srini.

Srinivas, please search the forum for many, many posts on this subject, answered many, many times.

Obviously, one cannot download a file to a desktop from a background job. Since one cannot download a file is there is no "connection" to the GUI server (the PC), one must find an alternative.

You will see that programmers write small routines to store a file, often in tab-delimited format, from these processes, and then use some utility program to copy the file from the apps server to the PC (often executed by the user).

But, you could have found out all this with a simple forum search, and saved all that pressure on your shift and 1 buttons.

And stay the heck away from that ! button, okay?   Some of us don't like the sense of drama and urgency.

I did do a search before posting here. I could not find any post related to UPDATE TASK and download file. Thats why i raised a query .

It is not possible to use gui_download in update task or background. Download to the application server instead

It is not possible to download in your desktop  in update task or background. How can it access your desktop ? Send a mail with the attachment the file whoever needs that file.
