API to import data

I have tried importing data through a Response on a ASP page and that seemed to work just fine, but I ran into this issue:
Importing XDP produces a different file than if manually filled???
Now I'm looking to see if there is an alternative that may work completely. I see there are API references in Visual Studio for Acrobat but none for LiveCycle. This page shows APIs for accessing services, does this mean there is no simple API to use for LiveCycle? You must pay extra for services that should be a part of the base product?
I simply want the ability to import data into the PDF without the resulting file being any different than if it were manually written in. I can handle the backend myself.

This question should perhaps go to the Order management forum, but found the following which may be helpful to you:

Import data from excel/csv file in web dynpro

Hi All,
I need to populate a WD table by first importing a excel/CSV file thru web dynpro screen and then reading thru the file.Am using FileUpload element from NW04s.
How can I read/import data from excel / csv file in web dynpro table context?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
          import java.io.File;
          import java.util.Date;
          import jxl.*;
         Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
          Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
String a1 = a1.getContents();
String b2 = b2.getContents();
String c2 = c2.getContents();
// perform operations on strings
However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
String a1 = null;
Double b2 = 0;
Date c2 = null;
                    Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
                    Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
                    Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
                    if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
                       LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
                       stringa1 = lc.getString();
                     if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
                       NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
                       numberb2 = nc.getValue();
                      if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
                        DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
                        datec2 = dc.getDate();
                       // operate on dates and doubles
It is recommended to, use the close() method (as in the code piece below)   when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.
          // Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
          workbook.close();
The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.

Import data from a Fixed Length File into Oracle database

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text file into a table using HTML DB application.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB application so that the user can directly import the data into the table.
Sample data
XXXYYYYZZZZZ
Data should be read to table that has
Col1 Col2 Col3
XXX YYYY ZZZZZ

Hi,
I would like to import data from a Fixed Length text
file into a table using HTML DB application.AFAIK, fixed length imports are not something you can do directly with the HTML DB tools or available APIs.
As of now, i have a .sql file(that uses external
table) to import the data into Oracle tables
I would like to integrate this in my HTML DB
application so that the user can directly import the
data into the table.Any fixed-length data needs to have a specification associated with it that indicates which character position begins a new column and what each column represents. Some also include what datatype should be used for each of those.
If you really want to do this I would suggest that you create a table that you can store the file spec in. It would probably have columns for field name, start position, length or end position, datatype and any alias/column name you might want to apply. You would then use this table in a PL/SQL procedure (probably a package with the main processing procedure and various supporting procedures/functions) to read the file into memory, apply the file spec to each line and then do inserts into your table.
Obviously, this is just a concept or strategy. Implementing it will depend on your PL/SQL skills and determination. If you want to pursue this strategy I'm sure you can find some jump-starts by doing a search on the PL/SQL forum.
This may not sound like an answer - but the answer is you need to code it to fit your requirements. Hope that helps.

Import data from text file

We are trying to import data from a text file into fields in a form using the importTextData method for the Doc object. The script we are using looks like this:
var doc = event.target;
var returnCode = doc.importTextData("datafile.txt",0);
The text file "datafile.txt" contains tab separated values in a header row (which corresonds to field names in the form) followed by tab separated datarows - all according to instructions in the API.
The returnCode will result in an integer value, which in our case represent "Error: Invalid Row". It would help us a lot if anyone could give us a hint on what may be wrong or even better post a working solution.
We have also tried using the importTextData method without any parameters (the user is then prompted to select the text file and then the specific row) but the result remains the same. The fields in the form are not populated with data and the message "Error: Invalid Row" is returned.
Annika Lindqvist

The problem you're experiencing is that importTextData is an Acrobat API call. As such, it executes on the AcroForm field equivalents to the XFA fields you've placed on the form. What's not indicated in the API for importTextData is that the names in the fields in the header of the text file must be the
full AcroForm SOM expression.
I've created a working sample to explain this.
First, I created a form with a table with one row in it containing 3 columns named FirstName, LastName and Country.
Then I created a data.txt file like this:
FirstName LastName Country
Fred Jones USA
Kyle Francis Canada
Sam Roberts UK
I then placed a button on the form which calls "event.target.importTextData();" and ran the form in Preview.
Of course, when I selected a row for import, nothing happened.
I then used the "Avanced | Forms | Export Data from Form..." menu option in Acrobat after filling-in the fields in the table with some text and looked at the generated text file (note that you have to specify text as the output format). In there, I was able to figure-out what the full AcroFrom SOM expression was for each field I wanted to import data into.
I changed my data file to look like this:
form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].FirstName[0] form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].LastName[0] form1[0].#subform[0].Table1[0].Row1[0].Country[0]
Fred Jones USA
Kyle Francis Canada
Sam Roberts UK
Afther that, importTextData worked as expected without any errors.

API in import script

Hi guys,
Here is my question ! Though we know, we cn't use API in import scripts, is there any chance to use API in import scripts ? :)
Without using API in import scripts, How can we call a script in another script or within the same script ? (using functions like fImportScripts etc)
Thank you in advance !!

I have no problem understanding your question. However the key sentence in my reply was You'll get better answers if you ask specific questions. The reason I ask you to be specific is, if I knew WHY you want to use the API in an import script, I might be able to make suggestions how to solve for your requirements by going a different way.
I want to help you, but I need something concrete to go on.
Regarding the API question you ask:
Well, I guess the general answer is no. The API object is out of context when an import script runs. I imagine this prevents users from coding something during the import that would cause FDM to get tangled in itself by allowing direct access to runtime objects and data. Whatever the reason, that's the way FDM is designed, and you must code within this design in order to get support. This is the long way around the same answer I gave you previously.
However, the second part of your question, can you call other scripts from the import script: Yes, absolutely. You can launch processes too.

Robb Salzman

How to import data into TimesTen from Oracle

I want to import data from Oracle into TimesTen,but not found tools provided by TimesTen. I hope TimesTen may convert Oracle's dump file(exp).
thanks for your suggest.

TimesTen cannot read Oracle's data pump export files.
If you are using Cache Groups to cache Oracle tables into TimesTen, then the LOAD CACHE GROUP statement will automatically load the data from Oracle into TimesTen for you.
If you are using TimesTen as a standalone database, then you can SPOOL out the Oracle table data into text files, and use them as data files to feed the TimesTen ttbulkcp command line utility. ttbulkcp is similar to SQL*Loader except it handles both import and export of data.
For example, the following command dumps the contents of the table foo from a TimesTen database mydb into a file called foo.dump.
ttbulkcp -o dsn=mydb foo foo.dump
The file foo.dump will give you an example of what the default ttbulkcp dump file format looks like. You can then generate a new dump file based on the above, but populate it using the data from Oracle.
The following command loads the rows listed in file foo.dump into a table called foo in database mydb, placing any error messages into the log file foo.err.
ttbulkcp -i -e foo.err dsn=mydb foo foo.dump
For more information on the ttbulkcp utility you can refer to the Oracle TimesTen API Reference Guide.
You can also use SQL Developer to export data from Oracle table into ttbulkcp file format, via the Export Data option. Please note that this option is meant for small tables say with a few thousand rows, exporting large tables can be slow in SQL Developer and could require a lot of client side memory.

How to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file?

Subject : how to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file.? The incx file was originally part of the inca file and it has been relocated. ------------------- Hello All, I am working on InDesignCS2 and InCopyCS2. From indesign I am creating an assignment file as well as incopy files.(.inca and .incx file created through exporing). Now indesign hardcodes the path of the incx files in inca file.So if I put the incx files in different folder then after opening the inca file in InCopy , I am getting the alert stating that " The document doesn't consists of any incopy story" and all the linked story will flag a red question mark icon. So I tried to recreate and update the links.

How to import data from a text file into a table

Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp
Import: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Fri Jul 9 12:56:11 2004

Enter insert buffer size (minimum is 8192) 30720> 8192
IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
Thanks,
Mitra

Performance issue with FDM when importing data

In the FDM Web console, a performance issue has been detected when importing data (.txt)
In less than 10 seconds the ".txt" and the ".log" files are created the INBOX folder (the ".txt" file) and in the OUTBOX\Logs (the ".log" file).
At that moment, system shows the message "Processing, please wait” during 10 minutes. Eventually the information is displayed, however if we want to see the second page, we have to wait more than 20 seconds.
It seems a performance issue when system tries to show the imported data in the web page.
It has been also noted that when a user tries to import a txt file directly clicking on the tab "Select File From Inbox", the user has to also wait other 10 minutes before the information is displayed on the web page.
Thx in advance!
Cheers
Matteo

Hi Matteo
How much data is being imported / displayed when users are interacting with the system.
There is a report that may help you to analyse this but unfortunately I cannot remember what it is called and don't have access to a system to check. I do remember that it breaks down the import process into stages showing how long it takes to process each mapping step and the overall time.
I suspect that what you are seeing is normal behaviour but that isn't to say that performance improvements are not possible.
The copying of files is the first part of the import process before FDM then starts the import so that will be quick. The processing is then the time taken to import the records, process the mapping and write to the tables. If users are clicking 'Select file from Inbox' then they are re-importing so it will take just as long as it would for you to import it, they are not just asking to retrieve previously imported data.
Hope this helps
Stuart

Hi Marco,
See note [https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1328907].
This is issue is related to the Replace and Clear option and not having Work Status set up correctly.
When using the option 'Replace & Clear' with Import packages, the WorkStatus Setting should be not only enabled but also 3 dimensions types 'C' (i.e. Category), 'E' (i.e. Entity) and 'T' (i.e. Time) should be set by 'Yes' or 'Owner'.
Thanks,
