GUI_UPLOAD

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm facing a problem with GUI_UPLOAD in that it sometimes fails with return code 13 (ACCESS_DENIED). It fails less than 1% of the time but due to the hundreds of calls a day I still need to handle several failures a day. The failure can occur on any workstation and for any user but it is not consistent to any workstation or user. Here's the call I make:

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

EXPORTING

filename = wf_local_file_path

filetype = 'BIN'

IMPORTING

filelength = wf_file_size

CHANGING

data_tab = int_file_data

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_error = 1

file_read_error = 2

no_batch = 3

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4

invalid_type = 5

no_authority = 6

unknown_error = 7

bad_data_format = 8

header_not_allowed = 9

separator_not_allowed = 10

header_too_long = 11

unknown_dp_error = 12

access_denied = 13

dp_out_of_memory = 14

disk_full = 15

dp_timeout = 16

not_supported_by_gui = 17

error_no_gui = 18

OTHERS = 19.

Has anyone faced anything similar? Anyone know what the cause might be? The fact that this failure only occurs 1% of the time makes it very hard to pin down.

Thanks,

Actually, I realized the problem a few minutes ago. There's a script that should close the file before the upload takes place and it seems that 1% of the time the script doesn't finish in time before the upload so the access denied result occurs.

The solution I did was to wait a few seconds if the upload fails and then try again. Since it only happens 1% of the time it doesn't affect the users much.
