Export to excel using deski report

Hi,
We are using BOXIR2 SP4 version. We have a deski report that generates excel output file and it was working fine until yesterday. Today that report successfully exported excel output file, but I was not able to open excel file and it gives me below error:
Excel found unreadable content in 'abc.xls'. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes.
Now, if I select Yes, then it opens blank sheet.
I found that today there was a new record in the report for new customer. When I filtered out that customer record it works fine. So I thought may be something wrong with that customer.
After that I filtered out 10 existing customers and then also I was able to open excel sheet with new customer record as well. So, I tried few other things to resolve the issue, if I reduce the length of Customer_name field from 35 to 30 by using SubStr(), it works fine. If I add a new field Customer ID to the left of Customer_name field, it works fine.
This is a strange issue. I have suggested our client the above option that have worked. But if client is not OK with it, I will still have to find the root cause and resolve this issue.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Nikhil

with your product version there are little options you have.
1. Upgrade to the latest SP and patch on XIR2 (SP6, fp6.4) and re-test
2. Upgrade to current product release.
3. figure out what has changed and how in the report and reverse those changes.

Reports output delayed when exported to Excel using OLE2

Hi All,
Platform - Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 10.1.2.3 on Windows 32 bit.
The report output is getting generated in a minute when exported to PDF i.e destype=cache & desformat=pdf. When we generate the output to excel is considerably delayed. It is taking time and internal server error is occuring.
1) Report developed with simple query
2) Used RPT2XLS procedure which uses OLE2 builtin to export report output into excel.
3) Called RPT2XLS.run procedure in After-Report trigger of the report.
4) We have relased all memory objects in the RPT2XLS package after exporting data and there is no EXCEL.exe running once the file is generated.
System parameters used in the URL.
. destype=file
desformat=pdf
CONTAINSOLE=yes (Required for exporting OLE2 objects into Excel in report)
desname=path & name of the file.
I have gone through the tuning documents for reports server and increased minengine, maxengine and initengine parameters of the reports engine and also changed maxconnect and IdleTimeout parameters in reports server configuration file.
What might be the reason for delaying in the output of the reports when exported to Excel. Can the guys with special knowledge on this area help us in getting out of this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's possible, but I doubt it.
Reason is that you're asking the URL to run the report and then once done export out the values and I just don't think the 'i' - or now 'g' versions support this.
This was why the command line interface with the Desktop version was so popular as this is exactly the kind of thing you can do, plus much more.
I checked the documentation for Plus and can find nothing about doing this in the URL. Maybe someone will say otherwise, but with Plus I don't think it's possible.

Export to Excel using URL in Discoverer Plus

Using Discoverer 4i Plus.
Using URL arguments I want to export to Excel automatically. I see that if I was using Discoverer Viewer it would be something like fm=xls. Is there similar code for doing this with Plus?
Thanks!

Error while Exporting to Excel from ALV Report

Dear Experts,
When I am exporting my report output to an Excel Sheet directly some of the headers are appearing in Row No 1 and some are displaying in Row No. 2. Hence the corresponding values are also showing in the same manner.
I want to show all the Rows in a single row in row No 1. I am unable to find the solution for this.
But when I am exporting the same report into the MHTML Excel format the Report Headings are showing correctly in a single row and hence the respective values are also showing correctly in a single row. And if I save the same MHTML Excel as normal EXCEL(97-2003) format then also it is showing correctly.
The problem comes only when I as exporting it directly into EXCEL(97-2003) format.
Plz help.

Hi,
This is the Technical limitation of ABAP list export to local file.
ALV grid greater than 1023 characters per line will be split into 2 lines.
To prevent a line break occuring when you download the list as a local spreadsheet file, you must reduce the width of the list in ALV. You can do this either by hiding columns or by changing the column widths in the ALV. Take care that the column heading characters also dont exceed 1023 characters. This will work.
Thanks
LG

Export to excel using value set

Hi all,
I have an ALV table and in some columns I show the texts defining value_set (set_attribute_value_set). When I export the table to Excel using the standard button in the file I can see the codes, not the defined texts. How can I solve it? I thought about defining additional columns which will contain the texts and will be invisible in the screen and visible in Excel sheet instead of the column with codes, but I would like to know if there is any easier solution.
Thank you,
Anna

Hi
You can use Filedownload control to download the content you prepare as XML
reading the context.
For Ex: if you have product ID, Product Name and price as attributes.
you can create the XML string as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<products>
<product>
 <productID>1234</productID>
 <productName>Sony</productName>
 <price>1234.00</price>
</product>
<product>
 <productID>1234</productID>
 <productName>Sony</productName>
 <price>1234.00</price>
</product>
</products>
copy paste this in note pad name the file as products.xls and open it in MSXL.
similarly you can read the context and form this xstring and just supply to filedownload control.

Filters and Export to Excel (BI 7 report in portal)

Hi all
We are seeing some interesting behaviour with the data being exported to excel.
The steps to create the problem are -
- run report
- filter to limit the data,
- "export to excel"
When checking data in excel - the full set of data (that is, prior to the filter being applied) has been transfered.
Could someone please confirm the following -
1. is this expected behaviour ?
2. are there any configuration items that need to be done to export only the filtered data as seen on the current report on the screen ?
3. any other suggestions ?!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards
Karen

with your product version there are little options you have.
1. Upgrade to the latest SP and patch on XIR2 (SP6, fp6.4) and re-test
2. Upgrade to current product release.
3. figure out what has changed and how in the report and reverse those changes.

Exporting into Excel Using the Dynpro Binary Cache is not working on NW04s

Hello,
I am using excel data export using the
"Exporting Context Data into Excel Using the Web Dynpro Binary Cache" guide at
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/edc2f3c2-0401-0010-8898-acd5b6a94353">this link</a>.
The tutorial is working on NW04 but when I use it on NW04s I receive errors for the StringBuffer object:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.lang.StringBuffer.append(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/AbstractStringBuilder;
Any ideas?

Hallo Roy,
I have created an updated/enhanced version of this tutorial running on NW 7.0. The new solution allows to open the exported Excel File instantly without opening a popup window befor:
See <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/0mQ">Exporting Table Data Using On-Demand Streams - SAP NetWeaver 7.0</a>.
NOTE:
Use LinkedHashMap instead of HashMap
private Map getProductColumnInfos() {
 Map columnInfosMap = new LinkedHashMap();
 columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.QUANTITY, "Quantity");
 columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.ARTICLE, "Article");
 columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.COLOR, "Color");
 columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.PRICE, "Price in EURO");
 columnInfosMap.put(
 IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.TOTAL__PER__ARTICLE,
 "Total Per Article In Euro");
 return columnInfosMap;
This keeps the order of key-displaytext-pairs passed by the client (table component) to the service (excel export component) stable.

Export all dimension using a report scripts

Does anybody has an idea on how to Export the dimensions from Essbase through a report script? Because i will use this to load the dimensions in odi.
any idea is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hanson

If you look at my blog, I talk about the <preview function. it brings back them members with zeros as the values. It's much quicker than actually returning the data.
There is a problem in general with your premise of using a report script to do this. For ODI, you will want the dimensions in a parent child format. The report script will not do that for you. I would suggest you look at the outline extractor housed on applied olap's web site. www.appliedolap.com it's free and you can run it in a batch mode.
I think you should also look at John Goodwin's blog http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/ he has a series of articles on ODI. you whould be able to extract the dimensionality from a cube and load it into another cube directly from ODI

Do you know if the ability to pull DeskI SQL will be supported through Java reportEngine in the future? Is there a workaround aside from using COM SDK to pull this data provider information for DeskI?

When you run your application, it is complaining that it cannot find a class. That class is part of Apache XMLBeans (http://xmlbeans.apache.org/). You need to ensure that you get the XMLBeans JAR file and include it in your project, just like you did for the Apache POI JAR file.
