Extract data from Query to a Flat File - scheduling in the background

Hi All,
We need to extract data from a query to a flat file periodically, but each time 10 separate executions based on 10 profit centers, to get the separate files.
So, we have PC1, PC2, ... PC10 Profit centeres.
We have Query1, with profit center variable.
We have created 10 variants for Query1 so that we can execute for 10 profit centers.
Now, we have used RSCRM_BAPI to execute the Query1 and write to a flat file. Now we are having a problem in getting this feature used to execute the query automatically for 10 different varaints.
Thanks in advance,
_ Shashi

Shashi,
You can try using Information Broadcasting or Reporting Agent. You can schedule this in Information Broadcasting.

Extracting data from Oracle to a flat file

I'm looking for options to extract data a table or view at a time to a text file. Short of writing the SQL to do it, are there any other ideas? I'm dealing with large volumes of data, and would like a bulk copy routine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB'sFlat file is adequate only from VARCHAR2, NUMBER, & DATA datatypes.
Other datatypes present a challenge within text file.
A more robust solution is to use export/import to move data between Oracle DBs.

Extracting data from Essbase & loading into flat file through ODI

Hi,
I want to extract data from Essbase and load it into a flat file through ODI(for extraction from essbase I'm using a report script) and I’m using these KM’s:- LKM Hyperion Essbase data to SQL,IKM SQL to FILE Append & for reversing I’m using RKM Hyperion Essbase.All the mappings have been done and the interface has been made. But when I’m executing the interface it is throwing the error below:-

It seems that you are trying to use the file as your staging areas. Hyperion LKM extracts essbase data into a DB staging area which can then be used by your file IKM to load it into file.
You need to use a RDBMS for your staging area.

Pulling data from table to a flat file

Extract of Data from Oracle in a Flat File with Column and Record seperator

I have a case where I have to extract whole data froma Oracle Table where the Columns should be seperated by |@|
and Records by ^*^.
The reason for this is My data has Space and New line in it. So My Program to recoganize each column and record I want them to be seperated by special chars.
Itried this but of no much help.
set echo off newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on;
spool on;
set colsep '|@|';
set recsepchar '^*^';
spool "T_COMPLAINT.dat";
select * from T_COMPLAINT where ROWNUM < '100' order by cptoid;
spool off;

Having '@' and '*' characters in the data will not make any difference if you are using a combined column separator of '|@|' - provided any process you use subsequently can handle it.
However, the recsepchar parameter appears to be restricted to a single character which is repeated right across the page, so I don't think you could have a single iteration of '|*|' using this method:
SQL> set newpage 0 space 0 pagesize 0 feed off head off trimspool on
SQL> set recsep EACH
SQL> set recsepchar '*'
SQL> set colsep '|@|'
SQL> select * from testa;
A         |@|1@        |@|22-JUN-2010
B         |@|2*        |@|22-JUN-2010

Best way to extract data from 2 years records/Numbers files for tax return?

Hi
I am wanting to find a way of generating my annual tax returns from my financial records, which will be stored in a separate Numbers file for each Calendar Year.
As the Tax Year (in the UK) is different from the Calendar Year (in the UK it runs from April 6 to April 5), I would need to extract information from two different Numbers files, to a third Numbers file. Is it possible to do this, and would this be relatively straightforward?
I'd be interested to hear from others who have used Numbers for a similar purpose, and how they have organised things.
Thanks
Nick

The easiest soluce is to forget the use of separate documents.
Use one sheet per year and it will be really easy to achieve your goal using only formulas.
With separate documents, the unique soluce is to use an AppleScript.
I may write one but I'm a bit tired because I posted a lot of such soluce and in most cases, I don't know if they give satisfaction to the askers.
Coding for the clouds isn't my cup of tea so I think that for some days, I will leave AppleScript and will work upon the archives of my workshop.

Extracting data from a tag of xml file which is(xml) in a Field of Csv.

We have a xlm script which is stored in the clob column of the csv file. we have to extract one value from the <tag> and reject remaining data.
Sample:-
<ROW>
<ID>100</ID>
<ORDER_DATE>2000.12.20</ORDER_DATE>
<SHIPTO_NAME>Adrian Howard</SHIPTO_NAME>
<SHIPTO_STREET>500 Marine World Parkway</SHIPTO_STREET>
<SHIPTO_CITY>Redwood City</SHIPTO_CITY>
<SHIPTO_STATE>CA</SHIPTO_STATE>
<SHIPTO_ZIP>94065</SHIPTO_ZIP>
</ROW>
Required Output:-
We have to extract the "500 Marine World Parkway"
from tag <SHIPTO_STREET>
and the above sample xml file is in one of the column which is clob datatype
Any idea How to perform the above activity in PL/SQL ?

As BP suggested you can use an XPATH query to extract that information from your XML. However it depends a bit on your XML data.
Here are two examples:
one row XML
select extractvalue(xmltype('<ROW>
<ID>100</ID>
<ORDER_DATE>2000.12.20</ORDER_DATE>
<SHIPTO_NAME>Adrian Howard</SHIPTO_NAME>
<SHIPTO_STREET>500 Marine World Parkway</SHIPTO_STREET>
<SHIPTO_CITY>Redwood City</SHIPTO_CITY>
<SHIPTO_STATE>CA</SHIPTO_STATE>
<SHIPTO_ZIP>94065</SHIPTO_ZIP>
</ROW>')
,'//SHIPTO_STREET/text()') as result
from dual;
RESULT
500 Marine World Parkway

gt_excel1 is the internal table you provide to the FM for downloading.
lv_file is automatically taken care of from the input provided by the user.
The above code is triggered when a button in Application tool bar is clicked. Please use it as needed. It will ask for the path to which file has to be downloaded and once provided it will download the table only to excel.
It will work for sure.

I am trying to extract metadata from essbase into a flat file using ODI.

I have 2 questions in this regard :
Some of the account members storage property is missing in the extract.the reason which i suspect is due to the parent child sorting that did not happen while extracting.How do i do this.I do not see this option when i select IKM hyperion Essbase Metadata to SQL....
I have many account members that have more than one UDA's upto 5 UDA's.But in my extrcat only one UDA appears.How do i incorporate all the UDA's in a single column,sperated by a comma,the extract file as such is semicolon seperated,mainly because of this reason and some alias descriptions have comma's in the source system
ODi is extracting metadata in a descending order.How do i change it to sort records in parent child order
Thanks,
Lingaraj

Hi,
There was an issue with early versions of the KM around the storage property, this has since been resolved. I recommend upgrading to the latest release of ODI or have a look through the patches.
Cheers

Dump data from server (unix) into flat file on client (PC) on regular schedule

Hi folks,
I wish to dump the contents of a table (Oracle on Unix) into a file residing in a local directory (PC client). I know how to use utl_file but, init.ora resides on unix, therefore it will create file on unix directory and not the client machine.
Any ideas?

Hi Bro
if u wan to write a file on Server use this code..
procedure write_file
filename varchar2,
mesg varchar2
is
hfile_handle utl_file.file_type;
begin
begin
file_handle := utl_file.fopen( '<FILE_PATH_HERE>', filename, 'A');
exception
when utl_file.invalid_path then
dbms_output.put_line('invalid path dummy');
when utl_file.invalid_operation then
file_handle := utl_file.fopen( '<FILE_PATH_HERE>', filename, 'W');
when others then
raise;
end;
utl_file.put( hfile_handle , mesg);
utl_file.fclose( hfile_handle );
exception
when utl_file.invalid_path then
dbms_output.put_line('invalid path dummy');
when utl_file.invalid_operation then
dbms_output.put_line('invalid opertaion dummy');
when others then
raise;
end write_file;
==================================================
and If you want it in the client you can use the one given below.
declare
file_handle text_io.file_type;
L_file_name := 'C:\Folder1\Filename.txt';
begin
file_handle := text_io.fopen(L_file_name,'w'); (mode should be 'a' instead of 'w' if u want to append)
text_io.put_line(file_handle,l_data) ;
text_io.fclose(file_handle) ;
end;
4 any help plz write me
