Accessing CSV File from URL

Hi Experts,
I developing an interface where it need access an CSV file from an URL.
The url is: http://200.218.208.119/download/fechamento/20100413.csv
The file is modified every day, then yesterday this file will be: 20100414.csv
My interface generate the following erros

This is not supported in PI standard.
I think the option will be available in PI 7.3, but I cannot promise it.

Problem accessing a file from URL connection

My swing application uses a file(5MB).
I tried to open an inputStrem to this file using following codes:
URL u = new URL("http://..../myfile.jat");
URLConnection uconn = u.openConnection();
InputStream iin = uconn.getInputStream();
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(iin);
System.out.println(iin.available());
But it gives me available number of bytes sometimes 6761 and sometimes
1711. But I need the available # of bytes to be equal to 5B.
can anybody tell me how I can do that?
thanks

I think this got posted in the wrong forum, but at any rate: the "available()" method tells you how much data is available to be read at this instant. As soon as you read that data, more data will become available. Write a loop that reads repeatedly until there is no more data available.

Failed to read wsdl file from url

Hi all,
I am struggling with WL 9.2, consuming a WSRP enabled portlet at the following point:
Having created a proxy portlet, refering to the WSDL of the WSRP producer, I did successfully deploy the portal. When accessing the portal and consuming the portlet the following exception is thrown:
com.bea.wsrp.faults.TransportException: Failed to read wsdl file from url due to -- java.net.ConnectException: Tried all: '8' addresses, but could not connect over HTTP to server: 'www.w3.org', port: '80';
The WSDL includes a schema (http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema). The URL is definetely accessible by the server.
I am open for any kind of support ;) Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Matthias

Yes, they are all local schemas. The way ALSB works, even if the import path in the wsdl or parent schema doesn't exist, relative to the current directory, you can specify which schema resolves that reference. My WSDL imports several schemas, all of which import others. When I was done importing all the schemas and resolving references, all the references in WSDLs and XSDs were assigned and valid. However, after all of those imports and reference resolution, it still says the WSDL is invalid, with the following odd error message:
The WSDL is not semantically valid: Failed to read wsdl file from url due to -- java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: /XMLSchema/PaymentServices/Resources/PaymentServices-200802.
That path listed refers to one of the schemas imported by the WSDL. The reference to that schema in the WSDL was resolved, and it doesn't complain about that reference.

Access XML files from HTTP

Hi,
I need access XML file from HTTP. Server need parameters in the URL to generate XML files. For example, http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321.
I created a XML Data Server in ODI 11g. The JDBC Url should be jdbc:snps:xml?f=<filename>&s=<schema>&d=<DTD>.
However, it reports error when replaced the <filename> with "http://fileserver/xmlfile?orderid=123&custid=321".
I found it's caused by ampersand of the HTTP Url. I guess ODI treat custid=321 as JDBC parameter rather than HTTP parameter.
How to fill the JDBC Url in this situation?
Thanks,

i solved my problem by using the Socket object and controlling my file access by writing requests to the outputstream

Copy CSV file from windows to linux

how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?Using scp (secure copy).
It is supported by Putty and ssh services are available by default on most (if not all) modern Unix servers.
Don't have a Windows machine close by, but I recall the scp command is supported by the Putty executable called "+pscp.exe+".
The syntax is very simple:
scp <from_destination> <to_destination>
example (pushing a file from Windows to Oracle Unix server)
scp c:\datafiles\accounts.csv [email protected]:/u01/files/accounts.csv This will prompt for a password.
You also can use ssh trusted certificates (RSA or DSA keys) to automate this. Using Putty you can generate a key pair that consists of a private key and public key.
You copy and paste the public key into the destination server's +$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys+ file. This results the server in trusting that client and allows the client to connect (using ssh, scp and sftp) without having to supply a password (as the private part of the key serves as authentication). (I would however not use the oracle account for this, but a special scp-copy usage Unix account that does not support shell usage)
If you want to automate it the other way around - have the Unix server pull the file from the Windows client, then you need to install server software on that Windows machine to allow it to provide such a file copy service.
Again I suggest using ssh - OpenSSH is available for a variety of platforms, and Windows should be included. If not, there should be ssh service for Windows from Microsoft or another vendor that can be used.
Any other method than ssh will be either insecure or problematic. FTP is insecure as usernames and passwords are transmitted in clear text. Using Windows File Sharing requires Samba to be loaded and configured on the Unix server - and this is extra work installing and configuring and testing s/w that uses a low level security, that is also proprietary and could required setting on the Windows client also to make it work in a somewhat robust fashion.
The standard today is ssh. It is robust and secure. And it makes a lot of sense to use it.. and pretty good motivation for not using it ifo something else.

Hi,
Add this line inside your run() method, right before your call to repaint():
if (image != null) {image.flush();}Hope this helps,

Download file from URL using ADF (urgent help required)

We have the following requirement:
On clicking a button we need to download the file present at a particular location(we have the URL).
I have written the following in .jspx file :
<af:commandButton id="btn1" >
                    <af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="text/plain; charset=utf-8" method="#{bean.getFile}"/>
</af:commandButton>
The corresponding method in bean is :
public void getFile(FacesContext facesContext, OutputStream outputStream) {
HttpServletResponse response = null;
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = null;
currUrl = getFileURL("ID", 281);
response =
(HttpServletResponse)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
try {
ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
ouputStream.write(this.getFileBytes(), 0,this.getFileBytes().length);
ouputStream.flush();
ouputStream.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("IO Exception");
public byte[] getFileBytes() {
URLConnection urlConn = null;
InputStream iStream = null;
URL url;
byte[] buf;
int byteRead;
try {
url= new URL("http://hjhj:34104/test.pdf");
urlConn = url.openConnection();
iStream = urlConn.getInputStream();
buf = new byte[5000000];
byteRead = iStream.read(buf);
if (byteRead > 0) {
System.out.println("Downloaded Successfully.");
return buf;
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
System.out.println("File not found Exception");
fnfe.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception:" + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
iStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IO Exception");
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("File");
return null;
The file is opening in same window but in some encrypted format. My requirement is to :
1. Have a pop (as in Mozilla or IE) which asks if I want to save the file or open.
2. Depending on that the file should be opened in pdf format and not in browser same window neither in browser tab.

Jdev version : 11.1.2.1.0
in .jspx file : we have a button. On clicking the button file from URL should be downloaded. I have used fileDownloadActionListener in commandButton. Corresponding code :
<af:commandButton id="btn1" >
                    <af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="text/plain; charset=utf-8" method="#{bean.getFile}"/>
</af:commandButton>
in bean class : the method corresponding to fileDownloadActionListener is :
public void getFile(FacesContext facesContext, OutputStream outputStream) {
     HttpServletResponse response = null;
     ServletOutputStream ouputStream = null;
     response =(HttpServletResponse)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
     try {
          ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
          ouputStream.write(this.getFileBytes(), 0,this.getFileBytes().length);
          ouputStream.flush();
          ouputStream.close();
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               System.out.println("IO Exception");
public byte[] getFileBytes() {
     URLConnection urlConn = null;
     InputStream iStream = null;
     URL url;
     byte[] buf;
     int byteRead;
     try {
          url= new URL("http://hjhj:34104/test");
          urlConn = url.openConnection();
          iStream = urlConn.getInputStream();
          buf = new byte[5000000];
          byteRead = iStream.read(buf);
          if (byteRead > 0) {
               System.out.println("Downloaded Successfully.");
          return buf;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
          System.out.println("File not found Exception");
     } catch (Exception e) {
          System.out.println("IO Exception");
The URL given in the code is for a file which can be a PDF file or an EXCEL file.
My requirement is when i click the button:
1. A pop should come (as in Mozilla or IE) which asks if I want to save the file or open.
2. if i click on save file should save in a particular location.
3. if i click on open it should open as PDF/EXCEL format and NOT in browser.

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

Delete a .csv file from desktop system

Hi All,
My requirement is to read the .csv file from the desktop system having the shared folder and delete the file after read successfully.
Here I can read the .csv file from the location using the function RFC_REMOTE_FILE and updated the content into internal table.
But I cant delete the file from the presentation server ( Desktop system).
Can anyone tell me how to delete the .csv file from the desktop system on different location.
Note:
I followed this link to read file:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/9831750a-0801-0010-1d9e-f8c64efb2bd2&overridelayout=true

Hi Rob,
Thanks. I solved this problem myself.
The solution to delete the file from remote system is
concatenate 'DEL' i_filename i_dirname into v_bkfile separated by space .
call function 'RFC_REMOTE_EXEC'
destination c_dest
exporting
    command               = v_bkfile
exceptions
    system_failure        = 1 MESSAGE v_ermsg
    communication_failure = 2 MESSAGE v_ermsg.

Thanks in advance.

Hi BI consultant:
   Could you please provide more details?
For example:
1.Is your P application server a UNIX flavor? (Solaris, AIX, UX, Linux)
   If yes..
         2. Are you able to see the contents of the file correctly with a "cat" or "vi" command? (at operating system level).
               If no...
                     3. Did you upload the csv flat file to the server via FTP?
                            If yes...
                                 4. Did you use the "binary" or the "ascii" parameter on the FTP command used to upload the file?
Probably you need to upload the CSV file again to your application server and make sure you can se the file contents ("cat" or "vi" command) before trying to execute the InfoPackage.

Francisco Milán.

Download CSV-File from Interactive Report

Dear all,
I want to download a CSV-File from a Interactive report.
The content of the Rows in Excel:
Erste,"B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P"
IBC ->,"-","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14" [...]
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for help.

Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".

I cannot access PDF files from my current BT Yahoo...

Since downloading an updated version of Yahoo Mail a few months ago, I cannot now access PDF files from old e-mail messages which are located in the "Folders" section on the mail screen. When trying to open them the message "Scanning Attachments" is displayed. After about 60 seconds a Message is displayed "An Error Occurred whilst Downloading". This never used to happen with the previous version of Yahoo Mail. I have tried to save the attachments to my laptop and the message reads "Scanning Attachments" which would signify that they had been saved due to no subsequent Error Message being displayed. I have trawled all through my laptop and cannot find any of the alleged saved PDF files.
I am an old chap and not very computer literate and am hoping you professionals can come up with an answer and fix to this problem, which I believe, was not of my own making.
Whether this has any bearing on the matter, I changed about four months ago from BT Total BB to Infinity Opt1 which includes McAfee security built in as standard. I have also, as an on-screen reminder, recently updated my Adobe Reader programme to version 11. I cannot think of any other changes, apart from the new version of Yahoo Mail, that has made this problem come to light as it has.
Your help and assistance in this matter would be most welcome and appreciated.
Thanks You
Ian.

Your problem is typical of the many problems reported with McAfee, and that may well be the cause. McAfee is free with Infinity but isn't built-in in the sense that you have to take it. Is your previous anti-virus still installed? If so, you should get rid of one of them anyway, and the usual advice here would be to ditch McAfee.
Even if McAfee is the your only AV I would replace it. If your previous AV is no longer available there are plenty of free options, and Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is as good a choice as any. There's advice on uninstalling McAfee here.

Reading a CSV file from server

Hi All,
I am reading a CSV file from server and my internal table has only one field with lenght 200. In the input CSV file there are more than one column and while splitting the file my internal table should have same number of rows as columns of the input record.
But when i do that the last field in the internal table is appened with #.
Can somebody tell me the solution for this.
U can see the my code below.
data: begin of itab_infile occurs 0,
         input(3000),
      end of itab_infile.
data: begin of itab_rec occurs 0,
         record(200),
      end of itab_rec.
data: c_comma(1) value ',',
        open dataset f_name1 for input in text mode encoding default.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          write: /, 'FILE NOT FOUND'.
          exit.
        endif.
do
read dataset p_ipath into waf_infile.
split itab_infile-input at c_sep into table itab_rec.
enddo.
Thanks in advance.
Sunil

Sunil,
You go not mention the platform on which the CSV file was created and the platform on which it is read.
A common problem with CSV files created on MS/Windows platforms and read on unix is the end-of-record (EOR) characters.
MS/Windows usings <CR><LF> as the EOR
Unix using either <CR> or <LF>
If on unix open the file using vi in a telnet session to confirm the EOR type.
The fix options.
1) Before opening the opening the file in your ABAP program run the unix command dos2unix.
2) Transfer the file from the MS/Windows platform to unix using FTP using ascii not bin. This does the dos2unix conversion on the fly.
3) Install SAMBA and share the load directory to the windows platforms. SAMBA also handles the dos2unix and unix2dos conversions on the fly.
Hope this helps
David Cooper
