Change delimiter "download data" file

Hi,
i want to change the delimiter for the download data option from a report. How can i do this? I( thought it would take it from the reginal settings from your system, but it's not.
regards,
Osman

I don't have a full OBIEE installation to test but in 10.1.3.3.2, you have tabulation.
May be in the last version, they have change the format and give it a more standard.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values#Basic_rules
The delimiter can change depending of the country from a comma to a semi-colon.
I can check the language file parameter. They don't give me an access but you can test the parameter in this file
OracleBI/web/config/localedefinitions.xml
I see this node by language.

Change number of data file

I need to copy the data files to a SAN and want to change the number of data files form 4 to 1. This is only a small database (22Gb). I don't know how to delete the data files and re create them.
Regards
Hans

Hi Hans,
no, you can also do it using DBMGUI. The process is really the same as when you're doing a homogenous system copy, the only difference is the target itself is the same db instance.
You'd have to make sure you've backup up all (data+log) and no further data was created (for example by making a full data backup in ADMIN mode and saving the log). Then you'd need to initialize the DB and specify the desired number of (data) volumes and make sure you select the radio button labelled 'Create instance for recovery' during the initialization process, so the instance will only be put into ADMIN, after which you can then recover (using the backups made in the beginning).
I'd recommend to test this out yourself on a small (non production) db instance.
In comparison, from MaxDB version 7.6.00 Build 22 onwards, you would just have deleted the unwanted volumes (taking into respect that the left over volume can hold all data).

Download data files from weblogic

I have weblogic 8.1 running on win2000. We use IIS running on the same machine
to proxy web requests to weblogic.
This setup works fine except when we place data files like word docs, xls and
msi files in a download directory for the user to access.
We have a HTML page that has href links to the files. When the link is clicked,
we want the file to be opened in an external application.
This does not seem to work.
If I go directly to the weblogic server (bypassing IIS) it works.
Any thoughts why this is not working?

Any thoughts why this is not working?You probably have a problem with mime-types. We had a similar experience with
the BEA Plugin for Apache:
WL, in its default configuration does not know about mime-types at all. So,
if you request e.g. a doc-file, WLS does not put any content-type in the
http-response. IE normally ignores that, looks at the file extension and
starts up Word - fine.
Unfortunatley, in our situation, the Apache (or the plugin) did set the
content-type, if there was none, and it was set to "text/html" by default.
If you now request a doc-file via the Apache, it comes with content-type
"text/html" and this confuses your browser.
Our solution was to add the missing mime-types in the web.xml of our
web-application:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
Hope this helps!

I have Firefox 5 now, in the admin section of my web site when I edit a change in the data it does not make the change on my data file. There was no problem in my previous version.

How can I return to a previous version that did not have problem? On Safari on my lap top Mac, I do not have this problem. We tried this on another Windows computer with a 3.5 or 3.6 Firefox version and there was no problem.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. Note: this is likely to log you out, so finish up whatever you are working on first.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Some sites appear to be incompatible with Firefox 5. The difficulty is tracking down the problem. To see whether it is caused by the new stricter HTML parser in Firefox 4+, you can turn that off. Please save any unfinished work first.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).
Then return to the problem page, reload and try again. Does that make any difference?
Here's the process to roll back if needed:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

Palm Desktop datebook data file

I've been a Palm user for 13 years.
A year ago, my trusty Z-22's battery died. So I bought a M500 online from one of Amazon's 3rd party vendors. It worked adequately, but with a number of glitches that I learned to live with. By July or so of this year, I noticed appointments randomly disappearing from my desktop Palm app. No rhyme or reason, past, future, etc. I kept many data backups and just kept putting those files back into the desktop.
Then Oct 1st, everything on the calendar disappeared. 13+ years of data, gone. Fearing it was the funky M500 (fortunately I did not sync after the data loss, so had the entire calendar on the handheld), I bought a refurbished Z-22 from an Amazon 3P. Uninstalled desktop software (saved all data files), downloaded the latest Palm desktop software I could find (v. 6.2.2), loaded all data files, back in business. Everything worked like a charm. For one month (I sync several times a day).
Nov 1st, entire calendar gone. So I looked a little closer. MS Office Access apparently installed a .dat file in the datebook folder with 108kb worth oaf data (the legitimate datebook.dat file is 1,308kb). Everytime I open Palm Desktop, that's the file that's altered. Erase it, it reappears everytime I re-open Palm DT,
I don't use MS Office Access, so I removed it. Open Palm DT, now a new 1kb UiPrefs.dat is created, even if I open DT by double clicking the real datebook.dat file. HELP! I must note that throughout this whole ordeal, the address book, memo, todo list were totally unaffected.
Vista Home Premium 32 bit. MS Office 2007.
Thank you!
Post relates to: Palm m500

I haven't been able to hot sync with my handheld since I upgraded to Vista, so there is no backup on the handheld of any data. Grrrrrrr! I don't believe it. I thought I'd read posts about other people backing up their data.
Is there any "cheaters method" to create a backup copy by changing where the data file is saved, then changing it back, or something similar, so there are always two copies? I don't want this happening again, and I won't be able to upgrade my handheld for several months still.

Problem Retrieving DATA files from Zen To

Has anybody else had this problem?
I moved a bunch of data files to my zen touch. My computer hardri've
failed and now I want to copy the data back.
BUT when I try to do it, I get an error message that I can't remove
the data files.
I called tech support once and they had me "clean" the hardri've --
didn't work. Then he recommended JBHTTP. I downloaded that
(free) and it does work, but I can't remove the files within the file
structure -- and only one at a time.
This is better than nothing, but it will take a long time to remove
all 3000+ files.
I found a recommendation for NotMad on the web, but the free
version will not do data transfers, and I don't want to pay for it
if it isn't going to work.
Has anyone had any similar problems? Any solutions? Any
suggestions?
Please help. I need it. :angry:
JT

I believe via Xtreamer, in the trial version of Notmad, you can also download data files. But it sounds like the same process as JBHTTP i.e. slow and one-by-one.
I've seen before that new drivers and firmware update can fix this. I've also seen that new drivers have broken data retrieval, and reverting back to the install CD drivers have fixed it. It's worth trying.
It's a good idea to check data retrieval on a device once you've copied some files over, just to test. Also never trust important files (audio or data) to an MP3 player as the sole source.

Download data into a pipe delimited file

I want to download data from an internal table into a pipe delimited file.
I plan to use FM: SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT but the system I am working on is BW 3.1.
This FM does not exists in BW 3.1
How can I download data from an internal table into a pipe delimited file?
Please help,
Thanks,
CD

Please use Search before posting, this has been discussed many times already. Not necessarily as "pipe delimited", but delimiter doesn't really matter here. Here is just one of the recent posts:
Write internal table to file GUI_DOWNLOAD or TRANSFER?
Note that all GUI functions only work in the foreground. There are also some solutions in "pure ABAP", like looping through the internal table fields and adding a delimiter. Or a quick and dirty solution - define an internal table with the extra fields for delimiters (mainframe legacy!).
Also questions specific to BW should be posted in the BW forum IMHO, not in ABAP General. Otherwise you'll get a lot of "valuable" suggestions here...

Changes in date format while creating/downloading the file

Hi All,
Can any one let me know how does the system determines which date format should it apply while creating/downloading the file.
Issue :
When I create/download the file generated by report RTXWCF02 using unix level acess the Date format of a field in file is DD.MM.YYYY where as in user profile i can see its in MM/DD/YYYY.
I dont understand how system determines the date format and How we can change it. Please suggest.
Regards,
Ravi Kasnale

I would suggest you to use ALV_XXL_CALL if your want to keep your data formats intact.
like this - CALL FUNCTION 'ALV_XXL_CALL'
 EXPORTING
 i_tabname = 'T_GRID' " Name of your internal table
 it_fieldcat = t_fcatk[] "Your LAV grids catalog.
 TABLES
 it_outtab = t_grid "Internal table itself
 EXCEPTIONS
 fatal_error = 1
 no_display_possible = 2
 OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE e806(bk).
ENDIF.
hope it helps.

Error while downloading data into excel file.

Hi,
    I have a requirement to download data available in xstring to excel file.
I have a RFC which has export parameter 'file_data' of type xstring. When i call RFC
from web dynpro abap application it gives data out pout in xstring format.
I am opening excel file using that xstring data as below
cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
i_filename = 'file.xls'
i_content = ls_data_source-data_source   ***[xstring data from RFC]
i_mime_type = 'x-excel/application'
i_in_new_window = abap_true ).
But excel file not coming in correct format. its giving an error while download
excel file
Error is
      " the file you are trying to open , 'file[1].xls', is in a different format than
specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from
a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now? "
If i click on 'YES' button file opening but not in proper excel format. Data is coming
in tab delimiter format in excel file.
Please suggest any solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Hi Thomas,
Following is the logic implemented in RFC which is giving XSTRING as export parameter

                     IMPORTING
                       ep_table        = dyn_table.
              CREATE EXCEL SHEET BY SENDING FIELD CATALOG AND DATA TAB
STEP2 # Convert text table to xstring.
        CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING'
          IMPORTING

DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in downloaded txt file from UNIX?

Hi Experts,
Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
Am doing every thing same in both cases.
So,
1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
thanq

Its there, I am talking abut this -
OPEN DATASET - linefeed
Syntax
... WITH { NATIVE
         | SMART
         | UNIX
         | WINDOWS } LINEFEED ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
2. ... WITH SMART LINEFEED
3. ... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
4. ... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: These additions determine which line end marker is used for text files or legacy text files. If these additions are used, the profile parameter abap/NTfmode is ignored. Simultaneous specification of the values "UNIX" or "NT" in the addition TYPE is not permitted.
If these additions are not used, the line end marker is determined as follows, depending on the operating system of the current application server:
The line end marker for Unix is "LF". Under Unix, OS390 and OS400, only "LF" is used for reading and writing.
The line end marker for MS Windows is "CRLF". Under MS Windows, however, the values of the profile parameter abap/NTfmode can also be used to set whether new files are handled according to Unix conventions or Windows conventions. If the profile parameter has the value "b", the Unix line end marker "LF" is used. If the profile parameter has the value "t" or is initial, the Windows line end marker "CRLF" is used. The setting using the profile parameter can be overridden with the addition TYPE and the value "UNIX" or "NT". If an existing file is opened without the addition TYPE, this is searched for the first line end marker ("LF" or "CRLF"), and this is used for the whole file. If no line end marker is found, the profile parameter is used. This applies particularly if an existing file is completely overwritten with FOR OUTPUT.
If an addition WITH NATIVE|SMART|UNIX|WINDOWS LINEFEED is used, this setting can be changed for the open file using the statement SET DATASET. If neither of the additions is used, the line end marker also cannot be changed using SET DATASET.
Notes
: Without the use of an addition WITH LINEFEED, the line end marker is dependent on diverse implicit factors such as the operating system of the application server, a profile parameter, and line end markings that are already used. For this reason, the explicit use of WITH LINEFEED is recommended, which renders the use of the addition TYPE for setting the line end marker obsolete.
The line end marker that is currently used can be determined for every open file using GET DATASET.
Alternative 1
... WITH NATIVE LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition defines the line end marker independently of the access type according to the operating system of the application server, i.e. "LF" for Unix OS390 or OS400, and "CRLF" for MS Windows.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current codepage. If a code page is explicitly specified using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must exist be available or be written in accordance with this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED is intended for editing files on an application server that can also be accessed by other means. The addition receives the appropriate line end marker without the program needing to know the operating system.
Alternative 2
... WITH SMART LINEFEED
Effect
: This addition depends on the access type:
In files that are opened for reading using FOR INPUT, both "LF" and "CRLF are interpreted as a line end marker. When opening an EBCDIC file with the addition CODEPAGE, in addition to "LF", "CRLF", and the EBCDIC character strings, the corresponding ASCII character strings are also recognized. In addition, the EBCDIC character "NL" (line separator) is also interpreted as a line end marker.
In files opened for appending or changing with FOR APPENDING or FOR UPDATE, the program searches for a line end marker that is already used in the file. In this process, first the end of the file is identified. If no line end marker is found there, a certain number of characters at the beginning is analyzed. If a line end marker is found, this is used when writing to the file. This is also affected by the addition CODE PAGE. For example, ASCII line end markers are recognized and used in a file opened with EBCDIC, but not the other way round. If no line end marker is found or no search is possible (for example, if the file is opened with the addition FILTER), the line end marker is determined according to the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
In files opened for writing using FOR OUTPUT, the line end marker is determined according the operating system of the application server, as with the addition WITH NATIVE LINEFEED.
Note
: The addition WITH SMART LINEFEED is intended for the generic editing of files in heterogeneous environments. The line end marker is recognized and set for different formats. The use of this addition is the best solution for most application cases.
Alternative 3
... WITH UNIX LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "LF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available or be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH UNIX LINEFEED is intended for editing Unix files in which the specific line end markers are to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is MS Windows.
Alternative 4
... WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED
Effect
: The line end marker is set to "CRLF" regardless of the access type and operating system of the application server.
The line end marker is interpreted according to the current code page. If a code page is specified explicitly using the addition CODE PAGE, the characters of the line end marker must be available and be written according to this code page.
Note
: The addition WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED is intended for use with MS Windows files in which the specific line end marker is to be retained, even if the operating system of the current application server is Unix, OS390 or OS400.
