Creating flat files (.csv) in user defined directory using PL/SQL

I need to extract data into a flat file (.csv) and store the flat file directly into a directory on local drive as specified by the user at runtime. I do not intend to use the UTL_FILE package. Is there a way put to do this?
Thanks
Amit.

Hi Amit,
Your users have any shared drive which every one can access? If so follow these steps.
1> Allow users to select their destination location to an APEX item.
2> On submit, save the user IP, destination location and user name to a database table.
3> On submit, using JS, open XLS file template (+kept this template file in shared location+) The template should contain all the macros that will do the needful. I mean they should connect to database and should fill it with data and saving it to user specified location etc.
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Hari

  • Loading of flat file (csv) into PSA – no data loaded

    Hi BW-gurus,
    We have an issue regarding loading a flat file (csv) into PSA using an infopackage u2013 (BI 7.0)
    The infopackage has been used for a while. Prior the consultants with SAP_ALL-profile have run the infopackage. Now we want a few super users to run the infopackage.
    We have created a role for the super users, including authorization objects:
    Data Warehousing objects: S_RS_ADMWB
    Activity: 03, 16, 23, 63, 66
    Data Warehousing Workbench obj: INFOAREA, INFOOBJECT, INFOPACKAG, MONITOR, SOURCESYS, WORKBENCH
    Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 datasource (version > BW 3.x): S_RS_DS
    Activity: All
    Datasource: All
    Subobject for New DataSource: All
    Sourcesystem: FILE
    Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 infosource (flex update): S_RS_ISOUR
    Activity: Display, Maintain, Request
    Application Component: All
    InfoSource: All
    InfoSource Subobject: All values
    As mentioned, the infopackage in question, has been used by consultants with SAP_ALL-profile for some time, and been working just fine.  When the super users with the new role are executing the infopackage, the records are found, but not loaded into PSA. The load seems to be stuck, but no error message occurs. The file we are trying to load contains only 15 records.
    Details monitor:
    Overall status: Missing messages or warnings (yellow)
    Requests (messages): Everything ok (green)
      ->  Data request arranged (green)
      ->  Confirmed with: OK (green)
    Extraction (messages): Errors occurred (yellow)
      ->  Data request received (green)

    Hi,
    Try to use the transaction ST01 to trace the authorization of the upload with the SAP_ALL. 
    And the enhance your Profile for the super user.

    Gurus,
    My database is OLAP database, i need to extract the data into flat file (.csv/.txt/.xls) in to client machine (Local machine, or End user PC) not in to Oracle DB Server.
    Is it possible to achieve the same without using UTL_FILE?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Extract work order data from r/3 system in flat file(csv)and export to BI

    Hi,
    I am new in interface.
    I need to extract data regarding actual cost and quantities of work assigned to Service Providers from SAP system and send it to BI for reporting purposes.
    This interface will extract Master data as well as transactional data. Extraction of Master data will be a full extract and that of transactional data will be Delta Extraction.
    Custom development will extract the data from different fields and will export it to flat files (CSV format). This program will amalgamate all the flat files created into one big file and export it to BI system.
    Export of data to BI system will be done by schedule program Control M, which will export the data from SAP system to BI system in batches. Control M is expected to run daily at night.
    Please provide the step-by-step proces to do this.
    Thanks

    Hi Ravi,
    you've got to set up the message type MDMRECEIPT for the Idoc distribution from R/3 to XI. Check chapter 5.2 in the IT configuration guide available on <a href="http://service.sap.com/installmdm">MDM Documentation Center</a>. It describes the necessary steps.

  • Translating Excel query into flat file(.CSV)

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where i need the Excel Queries to be displayed in Flat file(.CSV) format.
    To be more clear i have an excel query but  my client requires this query to be displayed in a Flat file format. Can someone explain me how i can acheive this.
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    Thanks for all the information provided by i missed mentioning one point, actually thse queries are to be automatically schedule. the requirement is like this i need to bring to extract data and build queries export it as a .CSV file these queries are not end user queries so they have to be automatically scheduled and will be picked up by an interface so they do some mapping with the .CSV file we provide.
    So we decided to do it in Reporting Agent in Excel format and automate it and send the file to a specific location from where the Interface team can pick it. which doesnt need an user to run the query.
    so can someone tell me if i can automate a query and as well as have the query in .CSV format?? I hope i was clear
    Thanks.

  • Unable to create Flat File

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a flat file source system in BW.When i do that i get an error   ' No entry for BW_USER in table RSADMIN available'.ANy ideas pls?

    Hi,
    Goto RSA1 -> Menu path "Setting" -> "Global Setting" -> Enter the background under "BW User ALE" field. You first have to creat a user like "ALEREMOTE" in SU01 and then assign that user here. After that try creating flat file source system.

    move that value to a type WRBTR variable
    and use write statement.
    data v_wrbtr type wrbtr.
    data v_char(20).
    v_wrbtr = 1000.
    write v_wrbtr to v_char.
    v_char will contain the amount in user format.

  • Create source structure -Need to create flat file or table?

    Hi All,
    Can any one let me know what needs to be created?? it should be flat file or a table on the data base?
    I am going to reecive flat files from the source system??
    If it is a flat file then is there any way to create flat file structure in the DS using SQL query statements?
    Thanks
    Rajeev

    you can create table same as file structure and use the table instead, but how are you going to populate the table with the data from flat file ? you will need some application to do that, you can do this is DS by creating a file format and using the source file as input for that file format and create a template table as target for the database datastore to wihch you want to load data from this source file, and use that table as source in other dataflows
    you can also create the table with the same structure in the database and import that in Datastore and use that as target for the source file

  • Error -5002 when adding linked user defined field using DI API

    Hello,
    When I try to add a linked user defined field using DI API I get the error number -5002 with description:
    "The field 'Related Table' should consist of 8 alphanumeric characters with no valid or default values"
    I Get the error when I use the Add method.
    What is the solution for this problem? I use SBO 2005 A SP1 Patch 18
    The code I use is (.NET C# 2.0):
    SAPbobsCOM.IUserFieldsMD uf = (SAPbobsCOM.IUserFieldsMD)company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields);
    uf.Name = "S_BUCO";
    uf.TableName = "OPOR";
    uf.Type = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Memo;
    uf.SubType = SAPbobsCOM.BoFldSubTypes.st_Link;
    uf.LinkedTable = "S_BU";
    uf.Description = "Description";
    uf.Add()
    Regards,
    Jeffrey

    Hi Jeffrey,
    Your code above does not match the settings you are using in the UI. In particular, the type and subtype you are setting in code are not correct.
    To create the UDF via code, set the field types as follows:
    SAPbobsCOM.IUserFieldsMD uf = (SAPbobsCOM.IUserFieldsMD)company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserFields);
    uf.Name = "S_BUCO";
    uf.TableName = "OPOR";
    uf.Type = SAPbobsCOM.BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha;
    uf.EditSize = 8;
    uf.LinkedTable = "S_BU";
    uf.Description = "Description";
    uf.Add()
    There's no need to set the SubType property as you require a regular alphanumeric field.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • CANT execute query with parameter on user defined tables using query genera

    Dear All,
    I have problem when executing query with parameter on user defined tables using query generator.
    It seems SBO cannot accept parameter to query user defined tables.
    I've tried these:
    SELECT T0.U_Status FROM [@ST_PR_H] T0 WHERE T0.U_Status = [%0] --- this FAIL
    I try to pass the value directly without using parameter and It works
    SELECT T0.U_Status FROM [@ST_PR_H] T0 WHERE T0.U_Status = 2 --- this SUCCESS
    This one works
    SELECT * FROM RDOC T0 WHERE T0.width =[%0]  --- this SUCCESS
    and this one works too
    SELECT * FROM RDOC T0 WHERE T0.width = 595  --- this SUCCESS
    Is there anyone can help me ....???
    Thanks,
    Alfa

    I  generated this code using query wizard ....
    SELECT T0.[U_Status] AS 'Document Status' FROM  [dbo].[@ST_PR_H] T0  WHERE T0.[U_Status] = (N'2' )

  • Update User Defined Field using DBDataSource

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to update the user defined field using the DBDataSource object.  However an error occurred - "Item is not a User-Defined Field".
    The code used is as follows:
    Dim oDS as SAPbouiCOM.DBDataSource
    Dim oForm as SAPbouiCOM.Form
    Set oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm("139", 1)
    Set oDS = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("ORDR")
    oDS.SetValue("U_Field1",oDS.Offset,"abc")
    Please help.

    If you haven´t put the field directly in the standard form the user defined fields are in a different form. This form has the same type but with "-" before it.
    So so should use this code to get the user defined fields form:
    Set oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm("-139", 1)
    Maybe this can be the cause
