Cisco 1200 empty .csv file

I have flashed the cisco 1200 ap using the upgrade utility. Everything checks out ok but the .csv file is empty.Did i miss something here?
Details
Model:AIR-AP1232AG-S-K9
Autonomous IOS:12.3(7)JA2
Lightweight IOS:
c1200-rcvk9w8-tar.123-11JX1

The MIC is a Machine Installed Certificate. The AP has the certificate already installed, there is no need to
generate a self-signed certificate. That is why the .csv file is empty. You will not have to put any certificate information on WLC/WCS for this AP.

Empty .csv file (after conversion to LWAPP)

has anyone encountered the above-mentioned? Flashing the AP from autonomous to lightweight generates the .csv file but it's empty.

I have seen this happen. usually it happens when I convert an AP, while connected to the network. It seems the conversion tool, will add the AP to the auth-list on the controller, but only seems to store a local .csv if it is not connected to the network.

You don't seem to be writing anything to the response at all. Yes, you create a StringBuffer and write lots of stuff to the StringBuffer but then you do nothing else with that buffer.

How to test if a csv file is empty or not and email it?

Hi,
I am new to powershell scripting and i have a small task which is basically i have a csv file which will sometimes be empty(it will have header row even if its empty ) and sometimes it will have some rows of data.so basically i have to write a power shell
script which will look at the csv file and if its empty then do nothing if its not empty then email it to someone with the csv file attached to it?
Can someone please help me with it?
Thanks

Hi mike,
Yeah sure i will keep an eye on it ,and yeah coming back to your way of code.Here is the way i am doing it
If ((Import-Csv D:\App\ODS\File\Share\StoreTrafficException.csv).Count -gt 1)
       Send-MailMessage -To "[email protected]"
       -From "[email protected]"
       -Attachments D:\App\ODS\File\Share\StoreTrafficException.csv
       -Subject 'Check on this file'

Issue when I upload CSV file for insert contact list on Cisco Attendant Console Advanced

Hi Friends,
I have error "Provided file is not valid CSV File" when I upload CSV file to Cisco Attendant Console Advanced system. I'm not sure what happen about my CSV. My purpose is insert contact list to system and create CSV base on documentation.
Anyone have idea to solve this issue please kindly help me.
Thanks

You are right, whenever Cisco device boots, the IOS files gets loaded on the DRAM.
But in this process, some temporary files are also generated which gets saved in the flash/Disk, that’s the only reason you got these error messages. It’s not recommended at all to have less space in the Flash than what is recommended on Cisco.com. I would say please remove some files from Disk and have minimum 256 MB flash otherwise your router may drop into rommon mode at the time of next reload.
Well, it’s good to upgrade the bootstarp image too. Currently you are running 15.X IOS code, I would say run 15.X bootstarp image on the box.
You may download bootstarp image for 7206VRX NPEG2 from the link below:-

Reading .csv Files & Empty List Elements

I have an application allowing users to upload .csv files for
import into a database.
The issue is however, that in some cases every column in the
csv file will be populated, and in others, not.
As ColdFusion ignores empty list elements I cannot accurately
import data based on it's column numbers.
I'm curious how others get around this issue.

ckbentdesigns wrote:
> As ColdFusion ignores empty list elements
Yes, most list functions ignore empty elements. If you are
using CF8, try the listToArray function. It has a new attribute
includeEmptyElements.
Otherwise, there are several solutions. I listed a few of
them in this thread. Though there are others. You should google
something like:
ColdFusion csv Files Empty List Elements to see other
options and the +/- of each.

Open hub destination problem - .csv file is empty

Hi everyone,
I am trying to extract data from our BW system using Open Hub Dest. to a .csv file
DTP runs successfully means show total no. of records but when I see in AL11 then records are not in .csv file that is .csv file is empty.
How to figure out the problem?
Best regards
Ahmad

@Jagadeesh:
if I correctly understood you, you mean to say that first I should run DTP and save to an excel file to see if it shows data or not. This i think is not possible; as when we create OHD then 'Destination Type' we can choose among 'DB table', 'table' and 'third party tool',
so if I choose 'Table' then 'File Name' is .csv file (same name as the OHD) and can change it to .xls file
@Arun:
have permission to write in the folder
Do you mean creating OH to a Database Table?
in DTP I have a filter on a Characteristic, when its 1500 records then it works (data is in .csv file) but when 3500 records then .csv file is empty
no error message, no log
Regards
Ahmad

Set-ADUser based on .csv file - empty attributes issue

Hi, after a few months without working with PowerShell my knowledge is slowly fading away but fortunately every time this happened before, I was able to rebuild my knowledge again and now it is the same story. However I want to optimize my simple
code which populates three AD user object attributes: manager, officephone and fax with values stored in .csv file. Everything works well, but my code looks not so good in my opinion. Is there any more elegant solution?
$AddressBook = Import-CSV -Path D:\AddressBookFinal.csv
foreach($Employee in $AddressBook)
     if([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($Employee.ManagerUserName)) {
              Set-ADUser -Identity $Employee.EmployeeUserName -Manager $null
    } else {
              Set-ADUser -Identity $Employee.EmployeeUserName -Manager $Employee.ManagerUserName
    <#similar code here for checking value of OfficePhone and Fax attributes and populating AD attributes depending on if attribute value in .csv file is empty or not#>

Cisco ACS v3.3 Report .csv files

When accessing the reports on our ACS, for example, the Passed Authentications report, the .csv file is just too long. Is there something I could that that would cut the future reports down by month. So each .csv files would be for 1 month. I want to make sure that I still have access to the old .csv logs and the active ones.
I thought that if I just resubmitted the criteria for each report that it might start a new one, but it didn't work out like that.
Thank you for your help.

Could someone please delete this. Somehow I posted this in the wrong section.
Thank You.

RDBMS sync creating it's own accountactions.csv file

Trying to set up to do batch uploads of network devices and Users.
I've created a small test accountactions.csv file and placed it on an FTP server.
When we try to get ACS to pull this file we get this error in the report
"No import CSV file on FTP Server - nothing to process"
However in the same directory the ACS server does create an empty file with a name of accountactions.csv.read .
So now in the directory we've got two files
accountactions.csv
accountactions.csv.read
Any idea what is going on? Have we missed something simple?

Hi, use proper format for that file. See:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacsapp/csapp33/user/ag.htm#wp395615
Action codes which are needed for VSA importing are listed in:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacsapp/csapp33/user/ag.htm#wp393038
basically you need action codes - 350 to 355.

WCS: AP / MSE Authorization Controller Template via CSV file???

hello experts we are required to create a large number of "AP / MSE Authorization Controller Templates" on a WCS 7.0.172.0 system. ideally we would like to create these templates via CSV file to make the import as easy as possible. when the import is done via csv file the name of the template is automatically being set to the mac address of the access point. this because there is not way (at least not in the documented example) on how to specify the template name in the CSV file. so the question is, if anybody knows how we can specifiy the template name during the csv templated based creation in order to make sure we have the APs hostname set as the name of the template. further usage will be much more easy when the template has the AP hostname. any suggestion is highly welcome many thanks

How to read/write .CSV file into CLOB column in a table of Oracle 10g

I have a requirement which is nothing but a table has two column
create table emp_data (empid number, report clob)
Here REPORT column is CLOB data type which used to load the data from the .csv file.
The requirement here is
1) How to load data from .CSV file into CLOB column along with empid using DBMS_lob utility
2) How to read report columns which should return all the columns present in the .CSV file (dynamically because every csv file may have different number of columns) along with the primariy key empid).
eg: empid report_field1 report_field2
1 x y
Any help would be appreciated.

If I understand you right, you want each row in your table to contain an emp_id and the complete text of a multi-record .csv file.
It's not clear how you relate emp_id to the appropriate file to be read. Is the emp_id stored in the csv file?
To read the file, you can use functions from [UTL_FILE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm#BABGGEDF] (as long as the file is in a directory accessible to the Oracle server):
declare
    lt_report_clob CLOB;
    l_max_line_length integer := 1024;   -- set as high as the longest line in your file
    l_infile UTL_FILE.file_type;
    l_buffer varchar2(1024);
    l_emp_id report_table.emp_id%type := 123; -- not clear where emp_id comes from
    l_filename varchar2(200) := 'my_file_name.csv';   -- get this from somewhere
begin
   -- open the file; we assume an Oracle directory has already been created
    l_infile := utl_file.fopen('CSV_DIRECTORY', l_filename, 'r', l_max_line_length);
    -- initialise the empty clob
    dbms_lob.createtemporary(lt_report_clob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.session);
    loop
      begin
         utl_file.get_line(l_infile, l_buffer);
         dbms_lob.append(lt_report_clob, l_buffer);
      exception
         when no_data_found then
             exit;
      end;
    end loop;
    insert into report_table (emp_id, report)
    values (l_emp_id, lt_report_clob);
    -- free the temporary lob
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(lt_report_clob);
   -- close the file
   UTL_FILE.fclose(l_infile);
end;This simple line-by-line approach is easy to understand, and gives you an opportunity (if you want) to take each line in the file and transform it (for example, you could transform it into a nested table, or into XML). However it can be rather slow if there are many records in the csv file - the lob_append operation is not particularly efficient. I was able to improve the efficiency by caching the lines in a VARCHAR2 up to a maximum cache size, and only then appending to the LOB - see [three posts on my blog|http://preferisco.blogspot.com/search/label/lob].
There is at least one other possibility:
- you could use [DBMS_LOB.loadclobfromfile|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i998978]. I've not tried this before myself, but I think the procedure is described [here in the 9i docs|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96591/adl12bfl.htm#879711]. This is likely to be faster than UTL_FILE (because it is all happening in the underlying DBMS_LOB package, possibly in a native way).
That's all for now. I haven't yet answered your question on how to report data back out of the CLOB. I would like to know how you associate employees with files; what happens if there is > 1 file per employee, etc.
HTH
Regards Nigel
Edited by: nthomas on Mar 2, 2009 11:22 AM - don't forget to fclose the file...

Using a lookup from one CSV file to another CSV file errors with a name clash

Hi
I have a master CSV file created by querying the AD. I need to populate the "Team" attribute by doing a lookup using Name against the Name Column any of 6 CSVs, someone has prepared for me . The problem is the data is inconsistent
in the 6 CSV files so Name can hold either the Name or Username i.e. SAmAccountName or LoginName
Now my ps script works when the data is good. but I have around 30 exception cases whereby there is a mismatch . To explain:
is in this line ( see the big code block below)
$userObject = $nameAndTeamCsvData | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $masterUserName}
The $_.Name is using the top level masterCSVData Name but I was hoping that it was using the
$nameAndTeamCSVData.Name as in only within the scope of the Where-Object {} ..I guess I have misunderstood the syntax of what I had written.
. A quick a dirty fix would be rename this column in all of the 4 spreadsheets or trying to fix the code.....
# now update the empty team value for user object
$csvMasterData | ForEach-Object `
$masterName = $_.Name
$masterUserName = $_.Username # to deal with exception cases
#force scope to as the properties in the outer with the same name should be out of scope
# lookup the Name to see if we can extract the user's Team
$userObject = $nameAndTeamCsvData | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $masterName }
# deal with the situation where the name in the businesses spreadsheets is actually the Username (login name) in the master csv
if ( $userObject -eq $null )
# lookup the username (loginname) to see if we can extract the user's Team # !!!!error occurs here with the $_.Name !!!!!
$userObject = $nameAndTeamCsvData | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $masterUserName}
if ( $userObject -eq $null )
$_.Team = "UNKNOWN"
else
# replace the mastercsv.Team with the one we have looked up
$_.Team = $userObject.Team
else
# Name matches so replace the mastercsv.Team with the one we have looked up
$_.Team = $userObject.Team
Daniel

I see your challenge. How about collecting the column names in an array and looking for the potential names? Following my example before, try this:
$dataColumns = $I | Get-Member -MemberType NoteProperty | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name
Now, you can loop through the names and collect the appropriate data.
if ($dataColumns.Contains('Column1'))
#add ForEach-Object { $_.Column1... }
HTH
~fr3dd
Hi I had to wait until Friday as I have someone ( my boss) checking the business & team csv files against valid usernames and names.
# now update the empty team value for user object
$nameAndTeamCsvData | ForEach-Object `
$nt_name = $_.Name
# $masterUserName = $_.Username # to deal with exception cases
# lookup the Name to see if we can extract the username and mobile from the masterCSV
$userObject = $null # Replace my original code: $csvMasterData | Where-Object {$_.SName -eq $nt_name } # with foreach code below
$uo = $null
foreach ($uo in $csvMasterData)
if ($uo.SName -eq $nt_name)
$userObject = $uo
# ouch can't break out of this even though I found it so have to move on to the next
}if ( $userObject -ne $null ){ # Name matches so replace the few propeerties in mastercsv.Team with the ones we have looked up
$_.Username =$userObject.SamAccountName
$_.Mobile =$userObject.Mobile
This does work but is clearly not very efficient since I don't think I can
break or exit out of the foreach loop. I am thinking I could quickly modify and add your code - my import is delayed as I am having a new property added to user class... Let me know what you think.

Data formatting and reading a CSV file without using Sqlloader

I am reading a csv file to an Oracle table called sps_dataload. The table is structured based on the record type of the data at the beginning of
each record in the csv file. But the first two lines of the file are not going to be loaded to the table due to the format.
Question # 1:
How can I skip reading the first two lines from my csv file?
Question # 2:
There are more fields in the csv file than there are number of columns in my table. I know I can add filler as an option, but then there are
about 150 odd fields which are comma-separated in the file and my table has 8 columns to load from the file. So, do I really have to use filler
for 140 times in my script or, there is a better way to do this?
Question # 3:
This is more of an extension of my question above. The csv file has fields with block quotes - I know this could be achieved in sql loader when we mention Occassionally enclosed by '"'.
But can this be doable in the insert as created in the below code?
I am trying to find the "wrap code" button in my post, but do not see it.
Heres my file layout -

Justin, thanks. I did happen to change my pl sql procedure using utl_file.get_file and modifying the instr function based on position of ',' in the file, but my procedure is getting really big and too complex to debug. So I got motivated to use external tables or sql loader as plan b.
As I was reading more about creating an external table as an efficient way and thus believe I can perhaps build an extern table with my varying selection from the file. But I am still unclear if I can construct my external table by choosing different fields in a record based on a record identifier string value (which is the first field of any record). I guess I can, but I am looking for the construct as to how am I going to use the instr function for selecting the field from the file while creating the table.

While I was reading the external table documentation, I thought I could achieve similar things by using position_spec option, but I am not getting behind its parameters. I have highlighted italics in the code above(from LOAD WHEN....FIELDS....), the part I think I am going to use, but not sure of it's construct.
Thank you for your help!! Appreciate your thoughts on this..

How to upload CSV file w/o ,, for the last line

Hi Experts,
As part of one interface uploading the csv file (4coulmns) manually using the TCODE: CSCA_FILE_COPY.
After uploading when i see in the AL11 as it is csv file it is filling the , in each space.
But my issue while running the interface (because of logic in it) checking for the hash total in the last line where (record count, hash total) only 2 items should come but because of manual upload adding the (record count, hash total, , ,) another two spaces.
Where program not moving further becasue the it is alway comparing the amounts (1000.00 not matching with 1000.00, , ) it is not processing. In production files directly load in to unix server so no issues and i can't ask to change the program code...because iam not following the process. As part of testing i've to do manually only.
Please suggest the workaround for this.
Is it possible to change the contents directly in AL11 directly....then HOW ?
or
How to create a csv file w/o , , in the last line (may be it is not possible) ?
Thanks for your replies in advance.
Regards
VVR

I don't think you can edit from AL11, nor creating a CSV without those commas at the end because are created to state fields with empty value.
You have 6 columns filled with values but for the last line you only fill the first four. It is expected to appear , , for the last 2 columns on the last line.
I can only suggest keep doing it manually before uploading the CSV file... or... you are saying you can't change the program.
How about upload all CSV files... then writing another program to get those files from AL11 and delete the spare commas at the end line?
Cheers,
Andres.
