I need to save output from a report painter generated report to the file in app server.
I tried submit exporting list to memory and return. but got Not_Found exception when call FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY. I also tried to call FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF with no device parameter, but the pdf output from that FM is not readable.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Tab delimited file on app server. How to do that?

Hello,
When i transfer a tab delimited file from pre. server(windows) to app. server(windows) using CG3Z , the tab delimitation is not working.
for eg : the file with below layout
01.04.2007     31.03.2008     1     120
01.05.2007     31.07.2008     2     140
is getting changed like
01.04.2007#31.03.2008#1#120
01.05.2007#31.07.2008#2#140
All i need is a tab delimited file in app server also . Wats that i need to do for this ? Also how can i write a tab delimited file on app server through my program using open dataset.
Thanks for ur time.
Jeeva.

Hi..
Check this code: you will find the solution:
Using the Static Attribute <b>CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB</b>
Example:
This is the Simple way you can download the ITAB with Tab delimiter:
DATA : V_REC(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
Concatenate WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2
         INTO V_REC
         SEPARATED BY CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
TRANSFER V_REC TO P_FILE.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.
Note: if there are any Numeric fields ( Type I, P, F) In your ITAB then before CONCATENATE you have to Move them to Char fields ..
Reward if Helpful.
Example:
DATA: V_RECORD(200).
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
DO.
READ DATASET P_FILE INTO V_RECORD.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
SPLIT V_Record at CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB
                            INTO WA-FIELD1 WA-FIELD2.
APPEND WA TO ITAB.
ENDDO.

hi, i am running a background job in bw and for that created a file on the application server.now how do i delete that file.to create the file i just gave the name in the bw and the file got created.i am not able to find how to delete it.
or
rather than deleting the file how can we delete the data it is containing.please do let me know

hi,
but using DELETE DATASET u can remove file for app server.
If u want to delete the data alone then give the same name without data it will overwrite.
U can check it in AL11.

Problem with READ DATASET when reading file from app server

Hi,
wondering if anyone can help, I'm using the following code to read from a file on app server, the file is of type .rtf
OPEN DATASET file_rtf FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT
WITH SMART LINEFEED.
DO.
READ DATASET file_rtf INTO string.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
the open dataset part works sy-subrc = 0, but the read returns sy-subrc = 8 and no data is passed to string.
Any ideas as to what is causing this problem appreciated, <removed>

Problem in downloading file from app server using CG3Y in to .XLS fomat

hi All,
I have uploaded file in to application server through a program using open data set with the separater as "|" ( pipe ) . Now the user should be able to download the file from apps server to presenataion server in .XLS format using txn CG3Y. but when we download, the format appears wierd and the data is not consistent across columns in excel. i.e the data which is supposed to be in one column in the excel is in the other column. what precautaions should i take before moving data to apps server so that it will be downloaded in a good format.
Appreciate your help...
Regards,
Sreekanth.

Separate each values with TAB space present in the application server .
Currently u r using | pipe character. Instead of that use CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB as delimiter.
Each value will displayed in separate cells in excel sheet when u download it frm app.server

Lakshman.

Download PDF file from APP server!

Hi!
Has anyone tried uplaoding and downloding a PDF table from app server as I tried from a normal method by Open dataset, Transfer but it wont work.
Please provide any inputs.
Thanks.

Hi park,
1. Using open data set, transfer , close etc,
   also it will work.
   ( it will download / upload any kind of file from app server)
2. Just make sure the
   FULL PATHNAME and the FILENAME
   are mentioned in EXACT CASE
(small/CAPITAL).
3. U can check thru transaction AL11, to see the file and path.

Saving report output to a file on the server.

Hi,
We are using BI Publisher Standalone version 10.1.3.3.1.
Is it possible to schedule a report to output to a file on the server?
I want the whole report to be saved as a file on the server.
This is somewhat similar to bursting to a file system, but, I don't want to split the output.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nanda

Yes, use the scheduler and schedule the report,
do the bursting into FTP or
schedule the report to run and run it into FTP as a single FILE.
First option, you need to provide the query , with FTP server name, username, password etcccc.

How to redirect CELLCLI output to text file

Hi,
I would like to redicrect the output of the cellcli command to a text file .
For example , how to redirect the output of this command to a text file on /tmp
CellCLI> list metrichistory where objectType = 'CELL' -
and name = 'CL_TEMP'Thanks

cellcli has spooling capabilities similar to sqlplus:
CellCLI> help spool
Usage: SPO[OL] [<filename> [ CRE[ATE] | REP[LACE] | APP[END]] | OFF ]
Purpose: SPOOL <filename>: Direct the results to the file <filename>.
           SPOOL OFF: Turn off the spooling.
           SPOOL: Check the current spooling status.
Arguments:
    <filename>: The filename where the results will be output.
Options:
    [APPEND]: If the filename already exists, the following output will
              be appended to the file. Without this option, the existing file
              contents will be replaced.
    [CREATE]: If the filename already exists, an error is reported.
    [REPLACE]: If the filename already exists, the contents will be
              replaced. This is the default, when no option is provided.
Examples:
    spool myfile
    spool myfile append
    spool off
    spoolBut if you are trying to script it, it would be easier to just run it command line:
# cellcli -e "list metrichistory where objectType = 'CELL' and name = 'CL_TEMP'" > /tmp/CL_TEMP.txtAlso look into dcli which allows you to run cellcli commands on one or more cells from a compute node.
Good luck.

Redirecting XSLT output to multiple files

Hi,
I am trying to redirect the output of the XSLT into multiple files using
<xsl:variable name="filename" select="concat(@id,'.xml')" />
<redirect:write select="$filename">
</redirect:write>I dont want to hard-code the directory of the $filename in XSL, I want to set it or resolve it programatically in the java code.
Can you please tell me if this can be done in someway ?

Can you please tell me if this can be done in someway ?You + setParameter + method of your Transformer in java code to set parameters. like below:
transformer.setParameter("message1", "This is my message to XSLT from Java Class.");
transformer.setParameter("message2", "Hello XSLT how are you?");
. . .You can retrieve above parameters in global parameters/variables(must be as child of xsl:stylesheet element in xslt) defined in xslt like below:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
     <xsl:param name="message1"></xsl:param>
     <xsl:variable name="message2"></xsl:variable>
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:value-of select="$message1"/>     // retrieving message1
          <xsl:value-of select="$message2"/>     // retrieving message2
          <xsl:value-of select="concat($message1,$message2)"/>     // performing concat on message1 and message2
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>*Cheers
