Hello everyone,
we created a report wich uses the SOFFICEINTEGRATION package, especially interface I_OI_CONTAINER_CONTROL to build an excel sheet from internal table data and then display the sheet in SAP (methods get_container_control, init_control, get_document_proxy, create_document, get_spreadsheet_interface, ...).
First we used this report on a server with an excel version installed and everything was working fine. Now we want to use the report on a machine with an installed excel viewer and no 'real' excel resulting in error message
sofficeintegration108: ''No programm available for processing document'
Is there a way to make this work without installing an excel version? Do I have any alternatives?
Thanks.

Desktop Office Integration uses OLE, so it requires the (Excel here) application to be installed. Excel viewer is a very light software, it is not Excel.
If you want to generate a "native" excel format file, you may use XLSX format (xml, starting with excel 2007 if I remember well). Otherwise you'll have to generate a simple .csv file (simple text file, without formatting and colors).
