CSV Export Format

Hi all,
I wrote a custom toolbar in order to select export formats. The toolbar works fine with PDF and RTF formats, but there is a problem with CSV format when the report contains characters like à, è, é, etc. or symbols like u20AC. In that case the symbols are not displayed correctly and there are problems importing the CSV file in Excel (I have to replace with a text editor the wrong characters in the file exported). The problem is verified also using the standard Crystal Reports toolbar and only for CSV format: PDF and RTF reports are created correctly.
I had a similar problem with JSP, but the solution was the page charset. In this case, how can I solve the problem?
Regards,
pippo.

Hi Pippo, Thank you for the bug submission. I was able to reproduce the issue on our end and subsequently have tracked the issue using the following bug ID: ADAPT00671293. Hopefully we can get the fix out in the next update to Crystal Reports for Eclipse.

High performance CSV export

Hi,
I have been looking for a way to export huge datasets to CSV format for import with MySql.
As sqlplus SPOOL turned out to be slow and difficult to use, I ended up coding my own importer using the OCCI library.
I successfully compiled my code under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 64 bit, and Oracle Instant Client 12.1. But as it only uses C++ STL and OCCI, it should as well build under other environments (e.g. Windows).
Here's the code:
* ociexport.cpp - High performance ORACLE to CSV export (using OCCI and STL)
* This program takes the ORACLE connection information from the following
* environment variables:
* ORACLE_USER, ORACLE_PASS, ORACLE_CONN
* Fields are exported in a CSV with delimiter ';'. Semicola within the fields
* are escaped with '\;'. Newlines and tabs in the fields are replaced by blanks.
* Empty fields and NULL values are exported as '\N' for easy MySQL import.
* CLOBS are exported as well. BLOBS and BFILES are not supported atm.
* Don't forget to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to your Oracle Client libs when
* building and running this program.
* @param $1 Select-Statement
* @param $2 Output file (optional - if empty, output goes to stdout)
* @author Bert Klauninger
* @version 0.1.0
* @changelog
* 2013-12-13 - Created
* 2013-12-16 - Added CLOB streaming support

Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008 to Excel xls

We are experiencing the same issue as reported in the sticky thread. I answered in that thread, but thought that I woudl open a new thread to keep track of this issue. I can give you the responses to your questions you have requested in that thread:
Server Operating System - MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2
Version of the .NET Framework - MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
How did you deploy? - Installed CR 2008 SP1 runtime with msi package
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size? CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi dated Sept. 16, 2008 12:55:00 PM, size: 56,717,824 bytes
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory - File was created 9/13/08 11:21AM, 9451KB File Version: 12.1.0.882
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances. - 1 instance is on the system located in C;\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory. It is dated 9/13/08 8:52:26AM 132KB version 1.0.30.1
Any additional comments - We have tried to export to PDF and this works successfully. However, we can not export to xls or rft formats.
CRXF_XLS.dll is 905KB 9/13/08 9:38AM Version 12.1.0.882
CRXF_RTF.dll is 509KB 9/13/08 9:35AM Version 12.1.0.882
We also have the CR XIR2 server runtime installed side by side on the server as we migrate from CR 2008 to CR XIR2 SP4 ( where this function does work currently).
Please let me know if you need anything additional.

What We Know
The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

Hi,
I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
crdb_oracle.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks

Ssrs 2008 r2 csv export

In an existing ssrs 2008 r2 report, I have a question about the csv export.
When the report was originally written, I only expected the users to export the data to excel.
Basically the issue is, based on the states where the customers exist. If the customers exists on the east coast, I version of the report is displayed. If the users exist in the Midwest, another version of the report is displayed. if the users exist on the
west coast a third version of the report is displayed.
However now if the users want to export the data to csv (comma delimited), all 3 versions are appearing in the csv file.
I do know that when I hide a tablix, that does not export the data to a csv file. However when I pick the option to show or hide a tablix based upon the expression, the tablix is exported to a csv file.
Is there a way to export the columns and data that actually apply to the particular customer. I do not want all the data columns for east coast, Midwest, and west coast to appear on the csv export?
If there is a way to not display the extra data columns and rows, can you tell me how to accomplish this goal? Showing me code and/or a url would also be helpful.

Hi Wendy,
When exporting a report to CSV format in Reporting Services, the visibility of a report item/object is only controlled by the Property DataElementOutput. If the DataElementOutput property of a report item is set to Auto or Output, it will be exported to
the CSV file, otherwise, the report item won’t be exported to CSV. Currently, the DataElementOutput property is hard-coded which doesn’t allow us to set the property based on an expression. In this way, it is impossible for different users to have different
exported CSV files in your scenario.

ORA-20876 in csv export from interactive report = Possibly a bug?

Hi Apex team,
yesterday i tried to download data to csv from an interactive report. The resulting csv file contained a "ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine" only and no other data. I played around with other reports in my application and had no problems with exports.
After some investigation i found out that the buggy report contains a column of display type "Display as text (based on a LOV, escape special characters)". When I changed this column type to "Standard Report Column" for example, the error didn't appear anymore and the csv export contained complete data.
Maybe this is a bug? The environment is Apex 4.1.1.00.23 on 11g (UTF-8). Is there a workaround available?
Regards,
Jens

Additional Information
The problem seems to occur only if a Shared Components LOV of type "Static" is referenced in the IR column.

Hi,
what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.
Try to export just one row in your IR report (and classic report), so that you add where rownum < 2.

Hidden subreports showing up in CSV export

I have a main report with several hidden sub reports. The report works wonderfully in the browser but when the user goes to save the main report to CSV (did not test other export formats) the data comes across for all of the sub-reports including
the hidden ones. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Hi JasonDWilson77,
Per my understanding that you want to conditional show some subreports and hide other subreports based on an key field in the report, but when you export the report to CSV the expression is not work, right?
This is by design, any expression to control the show and hide will not in CSV report,Detail information below for your reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255223.aspx
As
bhanu_nz suggestted that you can manually set the visibility in the subreport by set the value of "DataElementOutput".
I recommend you that submit a wish to the Microsoft Connect at

Extract data from Oracle Database and store it into a CSV file format

Hello.
I'm trying to export a table from an Oracle Database into CSV file format with any Oracle adaptor and store it into a HDFS system.
How could I do it?
Thanks in advance!

BUG: SQL Developer 1.5.3 CSV export column order broken

There's a bug in the 1.5.3 release of SQL Developer regarding data export. This bug re-orders the column order in the data export to be alphabetically sorted. This produces mangled CSV files if used on a table or a view.
This is a critical bug to me since I need to produce lots of ad-hoc data CSV export files. I'm staying with SQL Developer 1.5.0.53 (53.38) for now as it doesn't have this problem.
This is the same bug as present in Jdeveloper 11.1 as described in my post here: BUG: Jdev 11.1.1.0.0 -- DB table data export column order is not preserved
Quoted from that post:
When I connect to Oracle database, get the table list, right click on the table and select 'Export Data'->csv. The dialog box opens with three tabs: Format, Columns, Where. The column order displayed in both tabs Columns and Where is alphabetic. Because alphabetic ordering re-arranges columns from their initial ordering in the table, this screws up CSV export because columns are not in their intended order. This same problem occurs when I try to export data from views to generate a CSV file with a particular column order.
Please open/check bug report if it's already open.
Thanks!

This happens with all of the export options for tables or views if you right click from the connections tab table list. If I pull it up in the main window and go to the data tab, I can then right click and it will keep the column id order for some of the views and tables. But not all.
I am running 1.5.3 Build Main 5783 on a Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 platform

Access to Export formatting options that may not be readily available?

How can I access Export formatting options that existed in CR XI using CR VS2010?
I am converting an app from CR XI to CR VS2010 and am attempting to generate DiskFile exports. The general process is succesful, but there certain formatting options I cannot find in the API:
NumberOfLinesPerPage(n);
UserDefinedCharactersPerInch(n);
CharFieldDelimiter(c)
UseReportDateFormat(b)
UseReportNumberFormat(b)
I have found some mention that some or all of these are still available via the RAS interface. Given my efforts in updating my database connections on the fly, I am now somewhat versed in RAS access, but am struggling with how to use it to format my exports. Can I set the above options somehow, and if so are there any examples of how to do this?

Yes, the RDC. In fact, I was reading a doc entitiled Migrating from RDC to .NET which had this:
ExportOptions.UseReportDateFormat
RDC
Set the date format to be the same as report.
Report.ExportOptions.UseReportDateFormat = True
.NET
Not supported in the .NET assemblies, but supported in the ReportClientDocument object model provided with the Report Application Server (RAS). RAS is available with Crystal Reports Server and BusinessObjects Enterprise.
ExportOptions.UseReportNumberFormat
RDC
Set the number format to be the same as report
Report.ExportOptions.UseReportNumberFormat = True
.NET
Not supported in the .NET assemblies, but supported in the ReportClientDocument object model provided with the Report Application Server (RAS). RAS is available with Crystal Reports Server and BusinessObjects Enterprise. 1/3/2006 4:51:00 PM Copyright © 2006 Business Objects. All rights reserved. Page 44
crxi_r2_migrating_from_rdc_to_net.pdf
I admit I missed the Text Format properties. Thank you. I'm just not a heavy with this. In the RDC, when I set UseReportNumberFormat and UseReportDataFormat then that would apply regardless of my output file type. With this, it seems only to apply to CSV.

Our company has also been experiencing this issue with deployed versions of our software, and during my examination of the error I have made the following discoveries:
For us the error has only been reproduced on Windows 2003 running Citrix
The error does not occur on Windows XP, Windows 2003 or Vista without Citrix
For installation of our application we use the CRRuntime_12_0.msm merge module (version 12.0.0.683, file size 46790KB)
As mentioned in the first post this error is related to the files crxf_rtf.dll and cfxf_xls.dll being unable to locate its reference to the file libpng10.dll during load.
I have run the application with ProcMon (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) attached on both environments that work correctly and that does not work and iIve made these observations:
During load of dlls Windows searches for references in the following orders (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx):
1. The directory from which the application loaded.
2. The system directory.
3. The 16-bit system directory.
4. The Windows directory.
5. The current directory.
6. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.
Looking at the ProcMon log for the environment where it works correctly (Windows XP, no Citrix) it looks like this . Numbers represent the search order mentioned above:
Load Image C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll SUCCESS Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
(1) QueryOpen C:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(2) QueryOpen C:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(3) QueryOpen C:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(4) QueryOpen C:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(5) QueryOpen C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\libpng10.dll SUCCESS ...
So you can see it finds the file in the "current directory"
Now, from the environment where it does not work (Windows 2003 Server / Citrix):
Load Image X:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll SUCCESS Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
(1) QueryOpen X:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(2) QueryOpen X:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(3) QueryOpen X:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(4) QueryOpen X:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(5) QueryOpen X:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(6) QueryOpen ... loops trough all paths in the PATH variable, finding nothing
As you can see somehow the current directory is %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS and not the Crystal Reports bin path in this environment at the time of loading the dll.
I have yet to discover why this is the case, but i tought i could share what I have found =)
The %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS folder is not a standard Windows folder, and I think it is used by Citrix for some files (like win.ini)
This also shows why adding the bin folder to the PATH variable is a valid workaround for some, but for us this is not really a good solution as we need this to work out of our installer. We don't always have consultants do the installations for the customers and we cannot expect them to manually edit the PATH variable, and we don't want to add to the PATH variable in the installer unless this is the only way...
So, I hope this maybe can bring you closer to being able to reproduce it. I'm still looking into it, will post more if I find something else interesting

BO 4.0 save as csv file format issue

Hi All,
We are using BO 4.0 Webi for reporting on SAP BW 7.3 system. Some of our reports have to be scheduled to bring the output in CSV file format. When I schedule the report in CSV format, the final output has data in two sets. The first set has the list of columns which I have selected in my report. Starting on the next row I get to see the second set of data with all the objects selected in the query panel including the detail objects.
We only need the data for the columns which is selected in the report, but it is bringing the dump from all the objects in the dataprovider.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the second set of data in the same csv file ?
Thanks,

CSV format is reserved for 'data only' dataprovider dumps. it exports the entire webi microcube (query results)
You don't get that option when going 'save as' - which preserves the report formatting - in which case you should consider .xls

Cross-tab report functionality does not support .csv export.

I want to export the cross tab report in .csv format , but when I export the cross tab report to .csv format only header and footer gets printed multiple times and data is not getting exported.

No , cross tab report does not getting properly exported in .csv format. Only header and footer gets printed multiple times and data is not getting exported.
does cross tab report support .csv export based on WYSIWYG?

Is it possible to restrict the available export formats in InfoView?

Hi all,
I uploaded some reports to Crystal Reports Server 2008. For most of them the user should be able to export them to CSV when viewing them in InfoView. For some reports this does not work correctly because they contain embedded subreports, cross tables etc., which can not be exported to CSV. Is it possible to remove the CSV format from the list of possible export formats for those reports?
Alternatively, is it possible to insert some hint into the CSV export like "Not all data contained due to export restrictions"?
Thanks for infos

HI,
you will able to disable the group tree icon panel when the crystal report opened. to do this,follow the steps mentioned below.
1. Go to your BO installation folder and then tomcat folder and then choose the CrystalReports web application.
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CrystalReports
Now change the web.xml of the this web app and insert a context parameter

<context-param>
<param-name>viewrpt.groupTreeHide</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Restart your tomcat, or restart crystal report web app from tomcat manager.
you can remove or add or disable the group tree icon as per your requirement.
Let me know if this works,
Regards,
