 Plug-In for Processing Files

Use

The cFolders plug-in is an Applet that provides additional options for file handling. It supports the following activities:

  • Executing file changes via checkout:

    This is a transaction for automated download, processing, and upload operations. You can cancel processing at any time and continue later on. The checkout transaction is not restricted to one file. However, you can only check out one file at a time. The cFolders system automatically adds any files you check out to a list of checked out files in your list of Favorites ( Overview of Checked Out Documents ). This list can consist of more than one item. For more information about checking documents in and out of cFolders, see Mass Transfer of Documents .

    Recommendation Recommendation

    We recommend that you do not use the Applet for files larger than 75MB. For more information about using the Applet for large files, see SAP Note 940461.

    End of the recommendation.

  • Uploading files to the next file server:

    This function is configured in the Settings menu on the General tab page, by selecting the Plug-In indicator and by choosing a File Server from the corresponding dropdown list box. If no dedicated file servers are entered in your cFolders system, this function is not relevant to you. You do not need the plug-in for optimized read-only access to files (file download).

Prerequisites

  • To run the plug-in you must work with Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or higher, excluding version 7.0).

  • You have installed the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2.

For information about the correct installation procedure of the Applet, see SAP Note 1034072.
