APD - writing query result "rank calculation" to file or DSO

Hello,
I am trying to take a query result set where I am calculating a key figure as Rank and run it through an APD to write to a DSO.
This is a top 5 query for a dashboard. I keep getting an MDX failure on the query.
Any ideas?
My ultimate goal is to set up a process to take TopN query results and get them into a target that can be used in a Universe.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
You want to store the data of query in to dso?Y
You can write a code in to routine for calulated key figure.
I also face the same problem but i solved using routine.
try this.

Display the query result in an Excel file??

hi there..
am writing one script file that queries my DB and display the query result in an Excel file??
i.e: if my query is :
select col1, col2
from table;
and i want the results to dispalys in 2 col. in an Excel spreadsheet..
Appreaciating ur cooperation..
Mourad

set colsep to a delimiter that is not normally part of your data like |
also setup the environment with these other setup commands
Set Echo Off;
Set Concat Off;
Set Pagesize 9999;
Set Feedback Off;
Set Verify Off;
Set Term Off;
Set Space 0;
Set Colsep '|'
Set Underline Off;
If you wanted to use a comma delimiter the setup would be same but the set colsep='","'
with the addition of concatenating a " on the first col and last col of the query
eg.
-- if first col and last_col are character types then
SELECT '"'||col1,....,last_col||'"'
FROM table;
Otherwise if either is a number they would have to be converted with a TO_CHAR

How to output a query results into a text file

How to output a query results into a text file instead of outputing it to the screen..
is there a way for us to write a SQL query which specifies to output the query results to a text file.
Pls let me know how to do it
Thanking u in advance
regards
Muraly

Muraly,
If you are using SQL*Plus 8.1.6 or later, you can also spool output to a file in HTML format, eg
SET MARKUP HTML ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF ENTMAP ON
SPOOL c:\temp\report.html
SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME, CITY
FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
WHERE SALARY>12000;
SPOOL OFF
SET MARKUP HTML ENTMAP OFF
In iSQL*Plus 9.0.1 (the browser-based interface to SQL*Plus) onwards, you can also send the HTML output to a new web browser window, or an html file -- much easier than the command line method.

Saving query results to a flat file

Hello Experts!
We have a very specific issue on our current project and I would like to know if any of you have ever done something similar. We are taking query results from BW (after complex calculations, some based on SY-DATE) and saving them to flat files to transfer to a SQL database structure on the Enterprise Portal. From here, the portal team renders the information into more "static" dashboards that include mouse over features and even limited drilldown (i.e. no matter where a user clicks the report always drills down on profit center)
There are many reasons why the model is set up as such (mostly training of executive level end users), and even though it doesn't mesh with the idea that BW could do this work on its own, we have to work with what we have.
We have come up with 3 possible ways to save this data to flat files and hopefully someone can tell us which might be the most effective.
1.) Information Broadcasting. If we broadcast XML files to the portal, will the portals team be able to read that data into a SQL database? Is there another way to use broadcasting to create and send a flat file to specific location?
2.) RSCRM_BAPI. This transaction seems to not support texts.
3.) Open Hub. In order to get the open hub to work, we first have to save all of our query results to direct write data store objects using APD. (calculations based on current date, for example, would require daily full loads to the underlying data providers otherwise.)
What is the best way to accomplish this? Is information broadcasting capable of doing this?
Thanks!

Hi Adam,
Do you have to use flat files to load the information to a SQL database? (if so maybe someone else has a suggestion on which way would be the best).
I try to stay away from flat file uploads as there is a lot of manual work involved. May I suggest setting up a connection to your SQL table in the DBCON table and then writing a small abap program to push data into the SQL database (which you can automate).
1) Use APD to push data into a table within BW.
2) Go to transaction SM30 > table DBCON and setup a new entry specifying the conncection parameters to your SQL database.
3) In SE38 Write an ABAP program along the folloing lines (assuming the connection you set in DBCON is named conn1:
data: con_name like dbcon-con_name
con_name = 'conn1'.
exec sql.
set connection :con_name
endexec.
****have a select statement which reads data from your table which the data is saved from the APD into an internal table**********
****loop on the internal table and have a SQL insert statement to insert the records into the SQL table as below******
exec sql.
insert into <SQL TABLE> (column names seperated by ,)
values (column names of the internal table seperated by ,) if the internal table is named itab the columns have to be specified as :itab-column1
If you decide to take this approach you may find more info on DBCON and the process in sdn. Good Luck!

How to upload the web query result to CSV/Text file

Hi,
Kindly help me on the following.
1)       I have info-provider (IP), which has info-objects "company code" and "supplier".
2)       I built a query by putting company-code with a variable in free-charateristics and supplier-code in row.
3)       When I run this query, it will ask company-code as input and the result will be filtered using company-code.
4)       For this query, I created a web-template and assigned data-provider to display the data on the web.
5)       The user wants to enter input company-code='1000' and write the data in a CSV file in a specific directory. i.e, by clicking the execute button (after entering company code) , the result should go to the CSV or text file. i.e. the application should automatically generate the file with query results.
Note: The user should not use context menu to EXPORT TO CSV OR EXCEL file.
Please let me know, if there is any tutorial. Thanks a lot advance help.
Regards
Kandasamy

1. SELECT INTO
Below method will create table when data is inserted from one table to another table. Its useful when you need exactly same datatype as source table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Insert data using SELECT INTO
SELECT AddressLine1, City
INTO BothellAddresses
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
GO
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO
2. INSERT INTO SELECT
Below method will need table to be created prior to inserting data. Its really useful when table is already created and you want insert data from
another table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Create Table
CREATE TABLE BothellAddresses (AddressLine1 NVARCHAR(60), City NVARCHAR(30))
---Insert into above table using SELECT
INSERT INTO BothellAddresses(AddressLine1, City)
SELECT AddressLine1, City
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO

Exporting query result set into CSV file using Forms

Hi ,
My requirement is
-> I need to create a form where I have a Multi line text box and two button.
-> When I enter a query in text box and click on Execute button, It should execute a select query.
-> After execution, Result set needs to be exported into an Excel file.
Please give a hint how to do this????
Thanks,
maddy

as you are using text item to write SQL query by the user
so for that you need to use the exec_sql package to parse the text items query and get definitions and values of the columns being
resulted in the result set of the query.
once your query is execute to the desired connection then you need to use fetch the result to the CSV file by use of the TEXT_io package
which will open the text file with .csv extension and you have to pass the each line to that text file with comma separated values as "ss","rr" etc.
or you can use the ole2 package to call the excel application and then fetch the data of exe_sql query to that.

Sending query results to an excel file

hai friends,
Can any one help me out in sending the results of a query to an excel file once i press a button on my jsp.
I need to display the results of the query and has to send those results to the excel file.
Thanks and regards,
ravikiran

The solution is simple and the trick lies in setting the Content Type of the response and producing the output.
If we remember, while coding in servlets, one needs to set the content type on the response object. For outputting in Excel format, the content type has to be set as "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Once this is done, the servlet knows that it has to produce the output in MS Excel Sheet.
You can query the databsae and loop over your record set and output it in any manner you like.
eg

out.println("Header1 \t Header 2 \t Header3");

while(rs.next()){
out.println(rs.getString(1) + "\t" + rs.getString(2) + "\t" + rs.getString(3));
Hopefully this will work for all of you.
Thanks

Options:
1) You can use
BCP command to export result to excel
2) Insert into excel by using OPENROWSET
3) Use Import and Export Wizard and provide SQL query as source and Excel as destination

How can I export the query result into access(*.mdb) file?

Dear all:
I want to export the query result displayed in jsp into excel file
and access file. And I have exported the result into excel format successfully, only one line should be added in the head of Jsp:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=gb2312" %>
But how can I export it in access(*.mdb) file? I have replaced "excel"
with "access". But it can't achive my goal.
What should I do to achieve my goal?
Thanks!

The only reason your Excel export works is that Excel knows how to interpret comma separated values as an input file format. Access has no such beast.
If you absolutely must provide info in an mdb, one solution would be to create an ODBC datasource pointing to an empty mdb, then push data into it using the jdbc:odbc bridge, then make a copy of the file and stream it down to the browser. You may run into some ugly file locking items here - set the ODBC connection so it is not shared, and that might help.
This one is going to be ugly.
I suppose another approach would be to write a simple VB applicatin that uses automation to create an MDB, then stream that file down to the browser from your servlet. That would almost certainly be faster than the ODBC approach.

Writing the Result set to a file!

Hello ...java gurus.. pls i want to write the contents of my result set to a file ...i have tried it but when i open the files it contains jargons any other way?
thanks.

Just get the results as strings, ints or whatever you want and write them. If you want, store results in vectors, hashes... and write the file after closing connections.

INNER JOIN JFOTST.dbo.OCRD T4 ON T1.U_NumConc=T4.AddId
WHERE T0.CardCode=''C52''
queryout "c:\text1.txt" -c -T -x'
Note that in this code everytime you need to use the symbol ' you have to doble it like ''Fixed Text''.
Be aware that there is one UDF so if you try to make this query run in your SB1 you will have to create a UDF called U_NumConc in the document lines.
Database usage:
JFOTST.dbo.OINV T0
JFOTST.dbo - Database Name.
OINV - Table
T0 - Alias
For any doubts I'll be available to help.
Once again thank you very much for all your help.
Together we are stronger!
Kind Regards,

Select Query Results to a .csv file????

Hello All,
I have a question in Oracle, if anyone knows how to do this. Please help me.
How can I get the results of select query in Oracle loaded into a Excel file (.csv) file.
Thanks in Advance,
Sarada.

Hi Sarada,
as a csv is nothing more than a list of Comma Separated Values your best shot is to simply read do this with your values. read each value in an iteration add them to a string / stringbuffer and add a "," between them. When you read then next line in the ResultSet you just add a carriage return to the end. Depending on what format you want your csv list in.
After you written all of this into a String you write this out to a file (unless you want to do it slower and write them line by line whenever you read them).
Hope this helps,
Kalle
