Export to Text File Slow

Post Author: shfisher
CA Forum: Older Products
We have a fairly complex report written in Crystal 8 that displays within seconds in the viewer. A user routinely exports this report to a text file, and until approximately three weeks ago, the export also took less than 30 seconds. Now the export is taking approximately three minutes. I have seen similar posts on this topics but no solutions. Are records queried differently for an export? What could have caused this sudden slowdown?

I have very big Database and it contains more then 600 millions of records.
Everyday, I am generating different report by using 30 millions of record.
I have 4 no of similar high end system.
3 systems are giving the result within 4 hours but one system giving result after 8 hours.
I verified the table space, indexes, system configuration and code. There are no differences.
My system performance tools saying BO and Oracle taking more time.
Oracle is giving result very fast using BO query.
So, I hope BO is having some difference.
Any solutionu2026

Export to text file very, very slow

Hi, I am running 2.1.0.63 and doing an export of a query to a text file. The export was 66000 rows, but took incredibly almost around 2 hours to finish. The row counter in the status bar was very slow. The same exact query/export under 1.5.4 ran in about 5 mins. The row counter on both the fetching and exporting was just flying by.
Has anybody else experienced this ? What could be causing it to run that slow under this release ?
The other issue I have is once there has been no activity for a while, sqldeveloper hangs has to be restarted. I saw this being addressed in another post however, and will follow it there.
Any ideas on when a patch will be made available to this release ?
BTW, I really like some of the other new features of this release.
Thanks,
Mark

Ok, I think the issue was that I was exporting to a shared network drive. I redid it, saving it locally and it worked fine.
I still have the issue of inactivity and having to restart sqldeveloper.
Thanks.

Export to Text File

CA Forum: Exporting
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite which I believes has Crystal Reports 10 installed.I'm trying to export to a text file. Here's the code I have so far: DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOpts = ExportOptions.CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions(); // set the export format ExportOptions exportOpts = new ExportOptions(); exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.RichText; exportOpts.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile; diskOpts.DiskFileName = AbsolutePath("c:/pleasework.txt"); exportOpts.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOpts; _crReportDocument.Export(exportOpts);Is RichText the only text option I have?? I've been googling and it sounds like I may need to install a dll to export to text. Can anyone confirm that?Thanks much...

Export to Text file does not page

Since I applied SP 7 for Crystal 9, when I export a report to a text file it does not page and print the report header on each page. It prints the report header once and one lone continuous page of information. My report was export to text with a page header on each page before I applied the service pack. How do I get it to page in the text export and print the page header on each page?

In 8.5 the default behavior of the export to text was to not paginate. With 9 you have a paginate option when you manually export data to text, however when processing in batch
Mary Vertz wrote:
export in the background
you had no such option and it simply defaulted to 60 even for those reports that were suppressing the page header. This causes those text files to have a new-page marker at the start of every 62nd line. This causes the data on that line to be moved 1 character to the right and caused many issue with 8.5 backwards compatibility as this functionality was used for flat file interfaces for instance with the bank for positive pay.
In SP7 they addressed this issue and changed the default behavior to not paginate and enabled a parameter to be passed to control pagination during batch processing.
If that
database application
is PeopleSoft, the parameter that needs to be added to the process request is -LN<number of lines> ex. -LN60
Also note that the CPI can be set via the command line as well. For PeopleSoft it's -CPI<numerical value> which defaults to 12 if it isn't specified.
Unfortunately I do not have the SP7 release notes handy to provide more detail on these options.

Add/Remove Programs - export to text file?

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to export a list of everything in add/remove programs to a text file for inventory purposes.
I have not found any easy method to do this short of copying reg files or installer 3rd party software. Since the idea is to save time neither of those are viable solutions.
Does anyone have any ideas?

How do I export to text file and suppress the cr-lf at end of row?

Hello.
I have created a report that is mean to export to a text file. It will always be a 1 row report and it's always going to be uploaded to a vendor via their website. They don't want the cr-lf at the end of the row.
I can't figure out how to get crystal to not do that. When I export to a text file (not a tab delimited text file), it seems to throw in the cr-lf at the end of the row. I have to manually remove it before uploading it. This task of uploading the file will go to someone else in the near future and I would like to not have to rely on them to do it.
Am I missing it?

Could you please elaborate what do you mean by 'cr-lf'. Just came across these SAP notes,however don't know whether they are applicable in your context.

How to export to text file without ruin the format

Hi guys,
I need some help here. My company recently come with the decision to print the mainframe report file that usually come as a text file, to a virtual printer. This virtual printer is printing the report as Adobe PDF format. The problem is, my Line of Business have a macros on Excell file that will grab the information from the text file to be processed in the Excell format. I tried to use Adobe Professional 8 to re-convert the PDF file to be text file, but the result is, most of the blank space is gone, and it is align to left, thus make it unusable to the Excell file.
Unfortunately, I can't provide you the sample of the document, because it contain classified customer info.
But appreciate if you can give me some advice.
Thanks and Regards.

It sounds as if you are dealing with untagged PDF.
Tagged output PDFs, with a well-formed structure, provide (amoung other things) the ability to Save As/Export
content to some other applications with all or most of the layout/format intact.
I suspect that the output PDFs you have are untagged.
As there is, currently, a rather limited number of applications that support adequate tag management
(FrameMaker, InDesign, MS Word (via Adobe's PDFMaker & to a much lesser extent with Office Save As to PDF - XPS)
I suspect the mechanism used to provide your PDFs won't cut it with regards to providing a tagged output PDF having a
well-fomed structure (which would include dictionaries containing format/layout data).
As alluded to by Bernd, there may be third party plug-ins that might help.
The more reliable/functional ones tend to not be inexpensive.
Be well...

Can I Export to Text File?

hi,
can i export my ical events to a text file?
thanks.
samantha

I have figured out a way to do this with free available programs:
Download this program:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/faview.html
Faview will allow the bookmarks exported in html format to be saved as a text file. This text file is in a uniform state.
Open the text file with a spreadsheet program. I used the free program called spread32.exe that can be found anywhere on the internet.
Highlight all the columns and do a sort by Column A. The urls will now be in alphabetical order at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Cut and paste into a new text file.

Manual Export to Text files

Hi all,
I have done the logic to manually export oracle data to text files through java classes. but when we tried to execute the script in test server, there were some column values missed out.
I have used the very basic procedure.
"SELECT * FROM table Name". and writing the records to a text file using file writer.
Can anyone make it clear what could be the reason for the missing records?
Thanks in advance.

No, I have not used Spool. Just writing to the text file using file writer. missed records are no the last one. some values in the middle.
for example (delimited coulmn values)
fname|lname|ssn|age|gender|country|zip
aaa|bbb|123|24||india|12345
gender cant be null, but i am getting empty record value for gender in text file.

Export to text file shows extra character at line 60, 120 so on

Hi,
I am using Crystal report 13 with .net 4.0 ( Visual Studio 2010)
I have an issue while exporting from CR to Text file,
After every 60 lines some special character is inserted in the text file. That might be the new page character.
Is this the limitation of crystal report that the data is not shown is pages?
If yes, if there any workaround for this?
Can I set the pagination off for the report- either from .net code OR on the report itself so that I wonu2019t see the unwanted character?
