Export to flat file with unicode (chinese) characters??

I have an SSIS (2013) package that needs to send an email notification with query results (via attachment). I have a data flow task with a source sql query that gathers 2 columns - ID and NAME. ID is varchar, NAME is nvarchar (some records have Chinese symbols).
The destination is a .txt file. When I copy/paste a field w/ Chinese symbols to a .txt file, it shows up fine, so i know Notepad can handle the characters. I also have the .txt file set to Unicode encoding (I also tried ANSI originally). When I run the package,
it says that it successfully moves 50 fields to the flat file. However, when I open the flat file, I see that it shows 10 records. It stops when it gets to the record with a Chinese symbol in it...but doesn't produce an error. My plan was to then take the
attachment and use it in a Send Mail task. (i have the smtp/mail notification working fine...just need to figure out how to get the data to all export to the flat file correctly)
Does anyone know how I can get the ID and NAME fields from a query into an email notification (either as an attachment, or even formatted nicely (with tabs) in an email would work).

Hi,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the similar issue in my environment. When we create the Flat File Connection Manager with the default settings, the data in flat file stops when goes to the Chinese characters.
To fix the issue that makes the Chinese characters to actually get written into the flat file, we should check the Unicode checkbox on the right hand side of Locale property in Flat File Connection Manager. In this way, the flat file can display Chinese
characters.

Flat file with chinese characters

Hi all,
I am working on a solution to map a file with this structure (not xml):
//.comment 1
0~keyh2..hn~
0~it1it2..itn~key
0~it1it2..itn~key
//.comment 2
0~keyh2..hn~
0~it1it2..itn~key
0~it1it2..itn~key
0~it1it2..itn~key
This is my conversion setup
recordser.structure = comment,1,header,1,item,*
recordset.sequence = variable
keyFieldName = key
comment.fieldSeparator = .
comment.fieldStructure = key.comment
comment.keyFieldValue = //
header.fieldSeparator = ~~
header.beginSeparator = 0~~
header.endSeparator = ~~
header.fieldStructure = 0~keyh2..hn~
header.keyFieldValue = 0
item.fieldSeparator = ~~
item.beginSeparator = 0~~
item.fieldStructure = 0~it1it2..itn~key
item.keyFieldValue = 1
The problem now is that this file come from Chinese system and it is provide with chinese letters (looks like 2 bytes per letter). When I provide character encoding as ISO-2022 then adapter shows exception:
java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException
when I try to process it without passing any encoding then the exception is:
more elements in file csv structure than field names specified
Is there anyone who can help me with these?

Hi,
I think it is something wrong with the File content conversion parameters parameters.
You can avoid comment 1 and comment 2 by using the parameter Document offset.Follow this link for that:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm</a>.
I think you didn't specify the field names in the File Content Conversion parameters.
Follow these two weblogs for the File Content Conversion parameters:

Create a flat file with multiple characters for enclosures

Hello,
we use OWB 11g2 (11.2.02).
Now we try to create a flat file with multiple characters for enclosures. The manual wrote:
"Enclosures (Left and Right): Some delimited files contain enclosures that denote text strings within a field. If the file contains enclosures, enter an enclosure character in the text box or select one from the list. The list displays commonenclosures. However, you may enter any character. The default for both the left and right enclosure is the double quotation mark ("). You can specify multiple characters and hexadecimal characters as field enclosures."
But it will not work. The OWB use the first character from the left enclosure definition as left enclosure and the second one as right enclosure !?!
Did anyone know this behavior? Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks and regards
Norbert

HI Raghu,
Use the function module 'GUI_UPLOAD'.
In that you have to specify the field_separator value = 'X' in export section.

How can we load a flat file with very, very long lines into a table?

Hello:
We have to load a flat file with OWB. The problem is that each of the lines in the file might be up to 30.000 characters long (up to 1.000 units of information in each line, 30 characters long each)
Of course, our mapping should insert these units of information as independent rows in a table (1.000 rows, in our example).
We do not know how to go about it. We usually load flat files using table functions, but we am not sure that they will be able to cope with these huge lines. And how should we pivot those lines? Will the Pivot operator do the trick? Or maybe we should pivot those lines outside the database before loading them?
We are a bit lost. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards

Yes, well, we could define a 1.000 column external table, and then map those 1.000 columns to the Pivot operator… perhaps it would work. But we have been investigating a little bit, and we think that we have found a better solution: there is a unix utility called “fold”. This utility can split our 30.000 character lines in 1.000 lines, 30 characters long each: just what we needed. Then we can load the resulting file using an external table.
We think this is a much better solution that handling 1.000 columns in the external table and in the Pivot operator.
Thanks for your help.

10g data export to flat file (diffrent)

hello
I could see that this question have been asked several times in several ways. But I have a little specific thing to ask which I could not find :(
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
-I have close to 50 tables which I need to export in flat file format with some deliminator.
-I would like to use a stored procedure to achieve it
-I want to write a simple SQL statement(not PL/SQL program) for the user's convenience for modifications in future
-I have tried exporting data using SQL developer in csv format but I would like to suppress the table headings and replace them with some other
-I am expecting not more than 1000-2000 records per table and also the number of columns per table are not more than 10
-I am using SQL developer 1.5 to do this and it has the export functionality but eventually the process would be automated so I would like to make it a stored procedure.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance
Regards
Kedar

You can use utl_file, see the specs :

Many English web pages filled with meaningless Chinese characters - why?

I've been using web browsers for almost 20 years and this is one of the strangest problems I've encountered. When some Firefox pages are launched that are supposed to be straight forward English language pages, they are displayed as an entire page densely filled, top to bottom, full width, with tiny Chinese characters. I have tried to troubleshoot this by: disabling all add-ons, especially translators; clean uninstall/reinstall of the current version of Firefox; rolling back to previous versions of Firefox - 1st FF7, right now FF6.01; clean uninstall/reinstall of my graphics card driver; rolling back to previous versions of my graphics card driver; system restore back to before this problem started; run deep scans, multiple times, of each of the six anti-malware apps I have on my computer, including root kit scans. None of them have solved the problem.
Strangest part of it is that it seems to occur randomly. For example, in my latest Firefox session, I re-enabled a number of add-ons after disabling them as part of my ongoing troubleshooting. When I clicked on Options for all the others except the Groowe toolbar, I got normal English pages. But for Groowe toolbar options I received a full page of Chinese characters like those shown below.This happens pretty much every time Firefox session but not for all pages; only 1-3 of them per session. The rest are normal.
I have yet to detect a pattern of when it will happen. A given web page may display normally or it may display as all Chinese characters like this sample of the page just displayed for Groowe Options. The last time I set Groowe Options (= the last time I reinstalled Firefox - yesterday) it displayed normally.
This paste of the first few lines of the Groowe Options page is a bigger font than the one displayed on the web page it was copied from. I don't know how to make it paste the same size font, but I think you'll get the picture from this. Now just imagine tiny versions of these lines completely covering the page display -- and I do mean completely - no spaces, no blank lines, just non-stop characters like this but much smaller font.

How to load a flat file with lot of records

Hi,
I am trying to load a flat file with hundreds of records into an apps table. when i create the process and deploy it onto the console it asks for an input in an html form. why does it ask for an input when i have specified the input file directory in my process? is there any way around tis where in it just reads all the records from the flat file directly??is custom queues anyway related to what I am about to do?any documents on this process will be greatly appreciated.If any one can help me on this it will be great. thank you guys....

After deploying it, do you see if it is active and the status is on from the BPEL console BPEL Process tab? It should not come up to ask for input unless you are clicking it from the Dashboard tab. Do not click it from the Dashboard. Instead you should put some files into the input driectory. Wait few seconds you should see the instances of the BPEL process is created and start to process the files asynchrously.

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help?

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help? Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

leonieDF
Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding.
