CSV Output from a button

Is there any way to have the CSV Output link be a button instead of a link?

Dwayne,
Yes, but only if you create a copy of your report on another page. The steps are: copy your report page, on the copied page, edit the report attributes. Choose CSV as the template. Make sure thereâs no other content on that page. Then create a CSV button on your original page and a branch that takes you to the copied page. When pressing the button, instead of actually taking you to that page, you should get a CSV download dialog.
Hope this helps,
Marc

How to Generate CSV Output from JD Edwards BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a report "Critical Date Report" - R15611 in JD Edwards 8.11. This report has to be generated as CSV output from BI Publisher which is embedded to JDE.
The purpose we want use BI Publisher is to move some of the data displaying to different place in the page(ex: Move the company address from top left corner to Bottom right corner).
In order to achieve this
1.We created blank rtf template and upload to XML repository using P95600 application
2.Create report definition using P95620 application
3.Here I see the available output types as PDF,RTF,HTML,EXCEL,POWERPOINT and XML,ETEXT(GRAYED OUT)
Which output type we can use for CSV ?
4.Execute the report definition of the critical date report from P95620 to get the XML source
5.This XML source will be loaded into the blank rtf template
6.From this point no idea how to design the rtf template in order to get the CSV output.
7.We did design and output type as excel - but the result data is not in good formatting and alignment*(Headers and footers are repeating).*
If any one has worked on similar type of requirement,let us know how to do or send a sample XML source,rtf template and how the CSV output will be. Or any document link present in Oracle site will be helpful. Please let me know if you need more details.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Vijay,
For CSV output, you need an E-text template (not RTF) that's why its grayed out! You can use Excel as output type and have (No headers and footers) , then you can open the file in Excel and store it as CSV. Does not always display correctly though.
Why are you compelled to use BI publisher? you can use the JDE standard csv output report, (as is used by most EDI systems) of course this may involve a bit of customization if you wants the fields arranged differently.

Remove header from a csv output in Bipublisher

Hi All,
I am generating a csv output from a Bipublisher report. The problem is I am getting the header (Column Names) in the extract.
I hAve removed the column name header from the rtf template.
Please let me know if we have to change any setting anywhere.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi
CSV output wont consider the rtf template it will direct extract of the columns you have in the dataset of a datamodel.
i dont think you can remove the column headings . if you don't want column headings you can try excel template or etext templates.

Classic Report CSV output failed to parse SQL query

Hi,
I'm trying to get a CSV output from a classic report. I'm generating the report based on a PL/SQL block that will return an SQL query. But when i download the CSV excel just gives me a:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: Missing expression
and shows me the query that the application is trying to parse. I'm also using bind variables (page items) in the PL/SQL block that is returning me the SQL query. I think that the reason that it fails to parse the query is that the query that is shown in excel has no bind variable values.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Arif,
run your page in debug mode and check out the SQL statement which is actually executed for the report. That might help to diagnose what is going wrong.
If you wish you can also post the report SQL statement which is getting executed.

Creating a CSV output of just the rows of data.

Dear All,
I am trying to create a CSV output from SQL*Plus using the following method... All I need is the pure data, and nothing else.
set verify off
set feedback off
set termout off
set heading off
set echo off
spool <filename>
<my sql statement>
spool <off>
The problem is that the SQL statement is displayed in the output file.
Does anyone know how to switch this off, before I spool the file, or can I spool the file immediately after execution. I.e. Build this into the SQL statement (somehow)???
Thanks
David.

If you want to handle 100% the output file you can use the package UTL_FILE but the file is going to be store in the server.
UTL_FILE
With the UTL_FILE package, your PL/SQL programs can read and write operating system text files. UTL_FILE provides a restricted version of operating system stream file I/O.

Multiple CSV exports from the one button or pl/sql procedure?

I need to have multiple csv exports from the one press of a button. The easiest way I found to do this is it to use javascript to popup three windows, each as a CSV link. This is a bit ugly though, and leaves the browser popup windows open when the file has been downloaded.
I guess I could also make a solution based on branching, but I think that would be difficult to maintain and reeks of bad design (im not a fan of this spagetti GOTO style code!).
I implemented Scott's custom CSV as found here: http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2006/04/custom-export-to-csv.html
However I would like to know if its possible to download more than one file using this method. I could not work out how to do this .
Has anyone got any ideas? Simply repeating the code puts the second table into the original csv file. Is there a way to 'reset' the htp writer or smoething?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Alex

Sorry for the confusion - I guess I mean its easy in .NET because you can simply compress files together and then send 1 zip file down as the response. See http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/11087_3510026_2 for details.
I guess I could ask how to do this in APEX - but it seems to me that my original wording addresses the concept at a much more abstract level. I may not find the best solution for my problem if I just asked 'how can I dynamically zip together three tables as seperate files and send them to the client?'. I also suspect that this method is not possible in APEX without custom packages. Please prove me wrong!
I guess even if I could find some kind of javascript that didnt open a new window, but was a direct download to the CSV, that would be a good compromise. At the moment when you click on the link, three windows come up and stay blank until the files are ready for downloading. Then after the files have been downloaded the windows must be shut manually. Yes, I could use javascript to make the windows 1x1 pixel perhaps, and then shut them after a predetermined timeframe - but this is hardly an elegant solution!
Thanks for your responses.

Calling csv export from button not link?

Gday,
I was wondering if it is possible to call the export csv functionality via a button and the default hyperlink functionality?
Cheers

Hi,
You actually need to mess with two templates - the region one and a new button one.
Firstly, update the report's region template to include the following at the top of the "Template" setting:
<script type="text/javascript">
var regionid="#REGION_ID#"
</script>Note that this must be done on the report's template even if you put your button into another region as we need the report's REGION_ID value
Now create a new Button template called, say, "Export Button". The "Template" setting for this should be:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="t12Button" onclick="doExport();">Export</a>This was based on a standard "Button" button template. If you use another style of button, adjust it accordingly - you need the same href and onclick attributes as shown above, but anything else can be left unchanged.
Finally, on the page's HTML Header setting, add in:
<script type="text/javascript">
function doExport()
var url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_' + regionid + '_en';
document.location.href=url;
</script>You can now change your button to a Template Based Button using the new Export Button.
Note that, as we are assigning REGION_ID to a javascript variable, only 1 such button can exist on a page.

No data found in csv output

I have a classic (non-interactive) report that shows some strange behaviour.
It's a simple page with a report region.
On the report attributes page under 'report export' the value for 'Enable CSV output' is set to 'Yes' and 'Link label' has a meaningful discription.
In the development database it works as expected:
When I run the page the data is displayed and when I click the link for csv output I can either save or open the file. In both cases I find the data I expect in the csv file.
In production, however, when I run the page the data is displayed, but when I click the link for csv output the resulting csv file just shows "No Data Found"
I can imagine the report not returning any data, but in that case I shouldn't see any data on screen either.
And it's extra weird that in development it all works fine.
Anybody that can offer any help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eric
I would never dream of telling anyone not to argue with me :D I've been wrong before and will be again, no doubt!
For the DIV problem, I was more concerned with < appearing in the output rather than the SQL statement itself - generally problems such as this happen when something on the page is incorrectly formed. When you get a chance, in FireFox, install the Web Developer add-on. When this is installed, on the right-hand end of its toolbar, you will see three buttons - the last two tell you about css and javascript errors. For HTML errors, if you have a text editor that has syntax highlighting, do a View Source on the loaded page, take a copy of the source and paste it in to a new document in the text editor. Save this with an HTML file extension. This should colour-highlight everything. It should become obvious what is wrong as you tend to end up with way too much in the same colour. Finally, on the loaded page, right-click on the DIV text and select Inspect Element - this switches you to a heirarchical view of the HTML on the page in the FireBug pane. Follow the tree up from the DIV and have a look at the structue - at some point, something will look wrong.

I want to output from my 27-1007ev Omni to my tv using hdmi ...

Hi
My Omni 27-1007ev has an HDMI port that I want to use to output online tv from my pc to my actual tv (in order to get UK tv here in Cyprus).
The manual is not clear on this but trials show that the connection appears to be one way only and that is from a games console into the pc. I want to go the other way.
With an HDMI cable attached pressing the top button (pc right hand side adjacent to HDMI port) brings up a game mode message on a grey screen.
The second from top button brings up a facimile of the buttons on screen with this button having a no entry sign over it. The volume buttons have no effect on pc screen as stated in the manual.
The TV screen stays blank throughout.
Anyone got any ideas.
Thanks Rop
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here are the specs for your HP Omni 27-1007ev Desktop Computer. According to the specs, the HMDI port on the side is for "Game console and/or video player input only". Please see this HP document entitled "Using an HDMI Game Console or HDMI Video Player with your Omni27 PC" for the proper connection and use of the HDMI input on your computer.
To connect your HDMI TV to your Omni 27-1007ev computer will require the use of a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or similar adapter.

Apex 3.1.2 - missing column in CSV output

Hi,
We recently moved our application to apex 3.1.2. There is a report with a CSV output that worked fine in apex 3.0.
With the same report in apex 3.1.2, one column is missing in the CSV file but is showing on the report. Show column is set to YES, include in export is set to YES and there is no condition in the column attributes.
Any idea what my cause this problem ?
Patrick

I've found the problem. In the print attributes of the report, the column that was missing in the csv file had a column width set to null. When I put 10 in that field (same as the other columns), it suddenly appears in the csv file.
If I set the column width back to null, the column dissapears again. This must come from the upgrade to apex 3.1.2.
To find columns that could have this problem, I suggest you take a look at APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT_COLS.
+select *+
from apex_application_page_rpt_cols
where include_in_export = 'Yes'
and nvl(print_column_width,0) = 0

Is any one else have issues with interactive PDF output from InDesign CC (2014)

I am currently trying to produce a document with a level of interactivity I have achieved many times before.
The interactivity is just a web style menu, show/hide the menu shows button set one, clicking on those shows a second set of buttons, and clicking in one of those goes to destination page and hides all menu buttons once more.
When output from ID CC 2014 the result is loads of missing buttons and no working menu.
Its not a corrupt ID file. I tried a brand new empty file, recreated basic structure with simple one state buttons and achieved similarly useless results.
If I back save using IDML and open in CS5, export from there, it works beautifully, so problem is not as many have been recently, to do with Acrobat browsers.
If I back save and open in InDesign CC (not 2014), export from there, it doesn't work, so problem is shared there!
Anybody any suggestions? Experienced similar and found a cure?
SOLVED BY A COLLEAGUE:
You can (no longer) use full stops/decimal points in button naming. Menu was hierarchically labelled as 1, (1.1, 1.2), (1.1.1, 1.1.2) etc.
Renamed 1_1, 1_1_2 etc and all functionality has returned. Why you could and now you can't, who knows!
Hope this helps you if you stumble across here with the same issue.

Thank you for reporting this.
I would consider this a bug in InDesign CC v9.x and v10.x and would report it:

Video output from iPod Touch (2nd gen) via AV Component Cable (no audio)

Hi, I'm trying to output a video from my iPod Touch (2nd gen) to my TV via a AV Component Cable.
Unfortunately the audio doesn't work, I'm sure they are all connected into the right places.
The video works, but I get no audio. (And no subtitles when closed caption is on)
Here is a link to an image of the TV connections from ImageShack:
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7280/img0204y.jpg
At the top left of the image, are what I assume to be the red and white audio ports, highlighted in red.
I plugged in the red and white audio connectors into those ports.
And towards the bottom are three ports, green, blue and red, also highlighted in red.
I plugged in the green, blue and red connectors into those ports.
I changed the input of the TV to Input 2, I see the video for the movie I'm watching on the TV but no audio. I tried multiple movies.
I've also tried changing the video output from PAL to NTSC and back again, turning Widescreen on and off and turning Closed Captions on and off. I also tried plugging in the red and white audio connectors into the row of ports just below the green/blue/red row, to see if that made any difference, and it didn't.
I tapped the bottom left button of the iPod Touch when plugged in to the TV and playing video and it came up with an option that was selected called ~"Audio Source: English (Stereo)"
Any idea's? Thanks.

Resolved... ThankYou
