3.0 EA1: Unload to text file generates extra file

I've just did few tests on 3.0 and when i unloaded (export) the data to a text file i've seen that:
1) the file extension is tsv and not txt
2) another files called "Generated0141598725703.sql"; is exported on the file system and shown in SQL Developer.
On 2.1.1 only the txt file was exported.
Can you please fix it?
Thanks,
Dani

This will be fixed for the next EA.

Hi,
As far as i understand from your requirements, it like you need all the data item leve into a text file.
You can fetch all the relevant data from variuos tables and then use GUI_Download into a text file.

Generating an XML formated text file

Hi all
I am a PL/SQL programmer and have no idea about XML :-(
I am using ORACLE 10g and my application generates atleast 100 text files a day for customers. These files are manipulated using Utl_File package and gets data from the DB.These files are tab or comma delimeted. Now company wants to give an option to customers to get the same output in XML format. My understanding is that I need to get information from customers first to make the report template for them and then use some XML parser to get data from DB and give an output using that customer's specific template.
I wanna know, if there is any whitepaper or manual that can guide me step by step. I just need to make an idea how the things can go togather and the sequence of operation. I also wanna use only PL/SQL and not Java at this time.

File name to be generated from outbound text file data

Hi Experts,
I am collecting IDOCs and generating IDOC-XML(for IDOCS) file and sending it to PI 7.0 using sender file adapter.
This is File to File scenario.
IDOC-XML file picked by sender file adapter gets transformed using XSL mapping in to .dat(text) file.
Sample Output of .dat file (target file)
STR SE 2008-10-3011:13:00$SEQ
EIH21148862 D2008102820081127SEK000000894800000000894800000000000000 0000XYZ co Ltd KL25533781 2114886209 335592 2508867
EIL21148862 0000000000000000100000000000020081021 335592 20081010KILLL899 Operating System
Now I want output file name to be: ABC_DEF_cc_yyyymmdd_segno.dat
ABC_DEF is constant
cc - means country code, in this case it should be "SE", which is marked in bold immediately after STR.
yyyymmdd - date format
segno - which means no of records like number of lines in text file, (say three records: STR, EIH, EIL)
Please feel free for any clarifications required.
I hope I am able to explain scenario.
I would really appreciate if you can help me with your valuable inouts.
Thanks,
Divyesh

hi,
just put one more mapping as the last mapping in your interface mapping
it can be abap or java mapping
then as per this blog fill out Filename attribute which will set the file name
/people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping
you can parse the whole IDOC structure in tthose mappings to get all the data you need for the filename
this is the easiest way I'd say

How can we generate the reports in html or text file formats?

Hi,
Is there any package that can help in creating HTMLDB reports in .txt files or .html files? (Similar to TEXT_IO in Oracle Forms)
How can we generate the reports in html or text file formats from HTMLDB?
Thanks in Advance
Renjith

Hello all.
Bi Publisher is great, but has a very high price tag. It's even more expensive than Forms & Reports Services. We are considering APEX to replace Forms & Reports on the web, but the reporting limitations are still a problem.
I wonder if there is another option.
Thanks

Generate a text file using Portal

Hello Everyone,
I need to generate a flat text file from a portal screen. I have no idea as
to what is the best way to do this. I have a screen on which i will have a
push button which when pressed needs to run a procedure which generates a
text file.
I don't know whether this is possible also or not.
Any help in the matter would be great.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can create a procedure like this.
create or replace procedure op1
as
begin
htp.init;
owa_util.mime_header('plain/text', false);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='||'output.txt');
owa_util.http_header_close;
htp.p('My output is text...');
exception
when others then
null;
end;
This will direct the ouput to a file called output.txt.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How to go to the next Page while generating a text file ??

All,
I am generating a text File dynamically based on the information from the Database. I need to give some Page breaks after every 80 lines. Does any one has any clue how can I do that.
I am able to generate the file though.
Also I need to set the Font to Courier.
Please let me know if anyone has done anything like this.
I am using "BufferedWriter" for generating the text file.
Thanx

Basically - I have to repeat the header if the records goes to the next Page. My records can increase decrease dynamically as the data is coming from the Database.
I do not know how to find out whether it has reached the next page or not ??
If you know by any chance how can I repeat the header once it goes to the next Page that would be a great help.
Thanx

Generating Postscript file using (psl132.prt) and Text file in one go

Actually my requirement is to have soft copy , postscript files in a single shot for character mode report because the report fetches data from the table then deletes the data.
- I am able to generate softcopy, and postscript files same using distribution file for Bitmap report as shown below :-
[RWRUN REPORT=C:\Report\R_TEST.RDF userid = test / test @ test DISTRIBUTE=YES DESTINATION=C:\Report\bRep.dst   ERRFILE=C:\Report\Final\report.err
The brep.dst file for bitmap report is as follows:-
DEST1: DESNAME=C:\Report\tpdf.pdf DESTYPE=File DESFORMAT=PDF COPIES=1 LEVEL=Report
DEST2: DESNAME=C:\Report\test.prn DESTYPE=File DESFORMAT=BITMAP COPIES=1 LEVEL=Report
But in case of Char mode report i am able to generate text file but i am unable to generate postscript file for using printer definition file. The commands used are as follows :-
RWRUN REPORT=C:\Report\R_TEST.RDF userid = test / test @ test DISTRIBUTE=YES MODE=CHARACTER   DESTINATION=C:\Reports\cRep.dst ERRFILE=C:\Report\Final\report.err
The crep.dst file for char report is as follows :-
DEST1: DESNAME=C:\Report\tpdf.text DESTYPE=File DESFORMAT=ASCII   COPIES=1 LEVEL=Report
DEST2: DESNAME=C:\Report\test.prn DESTYPE=File DESFORMAT=prt132.prn COPIES=1 LEVEL=Report (This option does not work is there any work around to make it work) ]
I am getting an error. it there any work around for this or there is any other solution.
Is there any other way i convert my text file to postscript file or viceversa...thanks

Next thing is how to use it:

Don't forget: these procedures are all part of the gen_xl_xml package.
To call them from outside the package, you have to prefix each procedure name with the package name, like this:
declare
k_file constant varchar2(30) := 'YourFile.xls'
begin
gen_xl_xml.create_file(k_file);
-- Call other procedures
gen_xl_xml.close_file;
end;

Generating Text Files from reports

Hi all,
Could anyone help me to generate reports to text files using command line. I could do this using the menus but I need to do it by command line.
I tried to use the DESFORMAT parameter but the values for this parameter do not include a value for a text file. I could find PDF, HTML, RTF and.....
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Try using DESFORMAT=DELIMITED eg.
rwrun60.exe REPORT="XXXXX.RDF" USERID=userid/passwordf@databaseid DESTYPE=FILE DESFORMAT=DELIMITED DELIMITER=TAB DESNAME="XXX.TXT" BATCH=YES
I think the default delimiter is TAB but you can specify your own delimiter. There is a list of command line options and delimiter options on the Reports Runtime Help.
I hope this helps !

Generate a report in text file format

Hello Experts,
I need to write a program to generate a report in a text file format which is later saved on a directory in the application server. I have the fields with the sources defined and also the filters, selections, rows and columns. For example:-
0company code (US) as the filter, 0CALDAY as the selection, CUSTNAM as the object in the row with sources coming from BUKRS and ZSD_CCUST. Can someone initiate or direct me to an already existing forum or throw some light on the issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
As mentioned above, the Open Hub service allows to extract data from an InfoCube/ODS/InfoObject and then store it a database table or flat file stored in the application server. You can start in transaction RSBO and create an InfoSpoke there.
To schedule an extraction using an InfoSpoke, you need to place it in a process chain.

How to generate reports in text file without totals

Hi!!!
Does anybody knows how can I generate a report in text file
(separated by |), but without the lines with totalizations ?
In my application, the user can choose if he wants the output
in HTML,PDF or a text file. So, the solution to this question
must be implemented in code.
Thanks a lot,
Anderson.

If you put a formatting trigger on any item or frame and return FALSE, it will disappear.
So the totals need to be within a frame which has a trigger which returns false if text file is chosen.

Text file generator gets out of sync!

Has anyone any experience of this behaviour in the text file generator in Motion......
Basically the first entry in the list is only displayed for half the time of the other entries!
This means that any repeat keyframes that I apply (even if I apply from the second entry in) get out of sync with the text display.
There must be a workaround for this or maybe I am missing something and this is desired behaviour.
Can anyone help?

When you mentioned keyframes, I thought we were on the same page as to where to go next. In the off chance I was mistaken, I'll go over the steps from the beginning.
When you use the File generator, Motion automatically evenly divides the time of the length of the generator by the number of lines of text and plays them accordingly. When you look in the Text Generator Inspector, the Speed is set for Constant... Motion figures out how many lines of text and inserts *fixed* keyframes. What you really want to do is set the Speed to Custom:
Immediately afterwards, you want to Reset the Custom Speed keyframes (Motion defaults from 0% - 100% over the length of the generator.) Clearing the default keyframes will keep you from having problems later.
Once you have the keyrames for the Custom Speed parameter cleared, you can move the playhead to the start of where you want the first line of text to appear and set an In Point for the generator. You will also want to mark the first keyframe so click on the yellow diamond to set it at 0%.
Next, play the project and at the point you want the *next* line to appear, move the Custom Speed slider enough until the next line *just appears* (the keyframe will automatically be set.) If you need more precision, you can widen the inspector column by clicking on the dividing line and dragging it right.
Continue doing the same until your finished setting the Custom Speed keyframes.
Then, right click on Custom Speed and Show In Keyframe Editor
Below shows the keyframes are linear. They need to be Constant. So, click on any keyframe in the Editor and Command-A to select all. Then right-click on any keyframe, and from the popup menu, select Interpolation > Constant.
This is what you're going for -- Custom Speed values that are flat until they change -- Each line will appear at precisely the point of the keyframe.

Adobe PDF FileToPDF - Text file generated?!

Hi guys, I wrote a macro that converts a worksheet to PDF format, it all works fine none of this is the issue. What's driving me insane is that after it converts the post script to PDF it also generates a text file along with it with the results! It's driving me nuts because I can't figure out what the damn file extension for it is, and it's not .TXT...
Can some of you guru's help me out please? Thanks!

>It's the same filename as the generated PDF.
No, that's not possible. You can have only one file with a given name.
What you probably have is the Windows setting to hide file types
(which are part of the name). I recommend you turn this off, as it
just causes confusion. In Windows XP, use
MY COMPUTER
Tools > Folder options
Click View tab
Switch OFF "Hide extensions for known file types".
If it is LOG file, this is normal. You should check the log file (in
notepad, for example) to make sure there are no important messages
like font problems.

Convert file format into UTF-8 while generating text file on FTP server

Hi Expert,
I have the requirement to generate text file store it in FTP server and file format should be in UTF-8.
ABAP Development is completed but text file format generate in ANSI which not acceptable by client.For generating text file and store it on FTP server by using standard function module FTP_R3_TO_SERVER ,but in this function module there is no any parameter option like CODEPAGE for file format conversion. Is there any method or any function module to convert file format to UTF-8 and directly transfer or store it on FTP server.
<<removed_by_moderator>>
Thanks ,
Edited by: Vijay Babu Dudla on Jan 28, 2009 12:48 AM

I have come across the same issue. Try calling the FTP_COMMAND function module to make it go into ASCII mode before your FTP the file, like this:
data: result type table of text with header line.
call function 'FTP_COMMAND'
    exporting
      handle        = hdl
      command       = 'ascii'
    tables
      data          = result
    exceptions
      tcpip_error   = 1
      command_error = 2
      data_error    = 3.
call function 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'
    exporting
      handle         = hdl
      fname          = docid
      character_mode = 'X'
    tables
      text           = gt_your_table .
