Purpose Transfer files to/from the SAP Web
Repository
The SAP Web Repository, in contrast to the newer MIME
Repository, does not provide a tool for mass file uploading or
downloading. The following GuiXT script based tool can save you
time when you need to download or upload many Web Repository files.
InputScripts Please see the .zip installation
file for the two InputScripts
Installation
A license for InputAssistant and GuiXT
Controls is needed to run the tool.
You may request the
free 30-day trial license for trying out both components from
the Synactive website. Enter the path of this trial license in
GuiXT profile:
Unblock the zip file smw0.zip after downloading:
Tick the
"Unblock" checkbox. Otherwise WIndows will not execute the dll
files.
Unzip the installation files
to a local folder. Copy the script files .txt into a suitable
script directory, e.g. C:\GuiXT\Scripts and copy the two .dll
files into a directory e.g. C:\GuiXT\VB.
Enter the two directories in GuiXT
profile
Remarks for using the tool
Be careful: the files in Web Repository (import)
or in the local folder (export) are overwritten without any
further prompt
Remove .bak files and other files not to be
uploaded from your import folder
Make sure that each file type that you upload is
allowed in the web repository settings (MIME type)
Do not work with other PC applications while the
file import is running, since this might stop the import. The
reason is that the automation of the file selection popup via
the VB dll assumes that the file selection is the foregound
window (input focus). Tip: Occupy your right hand (your
'mouse hand') with a hot drink for example while the import is
running.
The file export is rather fast, but the import
takes around 1 second per file. When you have 1000 files to
import you will need around 15-20 minutes.
