Csv reports

I need to customize a teststand sequence which currently generates an HTML report to additionally generate a csv report . The csv shall have the following values in it columsn
1st - Test No ( These can be auto generated also)
2nd - Test Dsecription
3rd - Units
4th - Lower Limit ( if any )
5th- Upper if Any
6th - Numerica Results( if Any)
I am pretty new to testand and have been struggling for some time with the property and invoke nodes . I will appreciate if someone can assist me with a sample of his code so that I can get past this stage .
I am using LabVIEW 6.1 and the way I was doing it was looking at addition of one extra step somewhere which intercepts the sequence context and format the data and puts it into a csv.
The seqeunce has tests that are nested to 2-3 levels and their report in HTML have indentations . In the csv they should just be listed in the order they are executed.Its like putting all of them in a big table irrespective of them being run as a test or sub-test
Thanking all in anticipation.
Sumit

Thanks.
Attached a modified reportgen_csv.seq file to support multiple numeric limit test. Even the layout of csv is somewhat modified. Just store the file in your ..\national instruments\teststand 3.1\components\user\models\teststandmodels directory.
Attached as well an example of calling sequence csv_report.seq. Change in the report options window the report format to ASCII text file.
These files requires version 3.1.

Petri

Saving a CSV report output as TXT file

Hi,
We are generating reports on the web using Intenet Explorer. The report is a CSV report, i.e. the data displayed is comma separated. After generating the report, we need to save it as TXT file.
If the length of a line is long (let us say more than 80 chars) while saving it as TXT file, it is saving as 2 lines. If the length of a line is less, then it is saving in a single line.
How can I avoid this 2 line problem?
I am not facing this problem if I generate report with Netscape browser and save as TXT file.
We are using Reports 6i.
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivas

Hello,
I had the same problem. And I think what I did to fix it is I made the mode=charcter, batch=yes, and background=yes. Hope this helps.

How to generate a csv report to determine paper size in a pdf or pdf/a file ?

how to generate a csv report to determine paper size in a pdf or pdf/a file ?

Use the cfpdf tag as follows:
<cfpdf
    action = "getinfo"
    name = "pdf_info"
    source = "C:\temp\testFile.pdf">
My Operating System is Windows. This tag gets information about testFile.pdf, and stores it in a structure. I have given this structure the name pdf_info. This structure has the key you are interested in, namely, pageSizes.
Pdf_info.pageSizes is an array whose indices correspond to the respective page number in the PDF. You can use this to generate Comma-Separated Values (CSV) for each page.

<cfset csv = "">

<cfset csv = "Page,Height,Width" & chr(13)>
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(pdf_info.pageSizes)#" index="i">
<cfset row_info = i & "," & pdf_info.pageSizes[i]["height"] & "," & pdf_info.pageSizes[i]["width"] & chr(13)>
<cfset csv = csv & row_info>
</cfloop>

<cfoutput>#csv#</cfoutput>


Done!

CSV Report Export Filename

Can you make the CSV Report Export Filename a variable so that the user can enter the filename before exporting? Can a directory on the local PC be specified prior to exporting as well?
Paul Platt

Paul,
You typically get a file download dialog when clicking on CSV export. The download dialog has a suggested file name, which can be overwritten and you can also choose the file download location.

Increase width for Excel and CSV reports

HI ,
I am having problem with data in Excel and CSV reports , since the data is large and the width of the column is fixed its is displaying ###### ,
can u suggest me how to make the wodth of the columns variable depending upon the data passed.
I want to know how to increase the width of column in Excel and csv reports dynamically.
Thanks & Regards
Dipty

What has this to do with JSF?
It is obvious that it is a setting/bahaviour of Excel. Just doubleclick at the right column border, then it will be widen according to the largest cell contents.

Exporting csv reports to repository

Dear Cisco Guru's,
We are currently testing Prime infrastructure 2.1. Is it possible to export CSV reports to an external repository ??
Apparently, Repository path points only to localdisk/ftp
What is told in the 2.1 pi admin book :
Off load backups and reports—You can save space on the Prime Infrastructure server by saving reports and backups to a remote server.
Many thanks,
Lieven Stubbe
Belgian Railways

This is correct, it has options for local disk and FTP because, currently PI supports NFS and FTP/SFTP.
NFS is usually mapped/linked/mounted on one of the local directory and hence you need to select that local directory which is linked to NFS server.
For details check document for Configuring the NFS backup Server.
-Thanks

CSV report download contains "-" for every NULL

I try to download a report as a CSV file. In every field that contains NULL I get a minus sign ("-"). Is it possible to alter this behaviour so that it returns empty strings ("")?

Check Report Attributes > Layout and Pagination / Show Null Values As defaults to that character unless you set it to something else.

I am using Batch Loader to load around 100,000 documents per day with per script around 1000 documents. I need to generate a report for the documents mentioned in my script and vs successfully loaded in UCM. Please help me and let me know to generate such report in form of Excel Sheet or CSV Format.

You mean renaming a .DOC file to .PDF doesn't make a PDF? I worked with someone that thought this was how it worked.
<Sarcasm>That's right. Just changing the extension automatically rearranges all of the bits so that a PDF reader can open the file.<\Sarcasm>

Two types of report one in CSV format & other in PDF format is generated from form module, problem is 1st time when i run PDf report it works, next if i run CSV format it works, then again if i try to run PDF report it picks CSV format itself..Please suggest...

Hi,
How are you passing the report format (CSV, PDF)? Maybe you need to refresh that everytime you run the report.

Csv report out put problem

am trying to generate delimited format report on command prompt.

suppose initially I am getting 100 rows , With page break set to yes the out put in
report csv format will be 200

Its not possible to export data directly from 6i to excel but you can export in text file and then open it in excel it will open very easily but keep it in you mind first eliminate all report groups.
and
There is a trick to capture Oracle Reports output (text output) into a excel sheet.
Basic Steps :
1) Set the output format for the report to XML
2) Run the report to generate output.
3) Save the output file locally as a XML file.
4) Open the file using MS Excel.
5) To make it more beautiful, you may use a MS Excel Template

Where is saved the CSV report ?

hi
In an interactive report, I use the Download buton to save the report into a CVS file. After doing that (I mean I hope because after choosing the CSV format, nothing "appears"), I mean no dialog box pormpt to ask for a file name. I tried to define the name into the region, but it does not give more result. I must have made a mistake somewhere.... I have beene searching into my computer for XLS extensino but could not find any XLS report.
Thank you for your kind help.
Christian

It gives à link like this :
http://teleg1:7777/pls/apex/f?p=12400:10:2390572121598359:CSV:
I pasted it into the browser and with no more results...
Hummm... Let me check... I found the problem !!! It is because this region has a condition display linked to a request.. Now i have delete this condition, the little nice popup windows appear.
Thank you all very much for your kind help !!!

Sequence pass/fail variable for csv report

I need to write a small CSV file with my sequence test results. The way I am considering doing this is to
save the information I need as the test progresses in local, file, or station global variables
make a report string using the values stored in these variables, and
write the string to a file via a LabVIEW VI.
Is this a reasonable way to do it? In which variable does the overall UUT pass/fail result get stored?
StephenB

I recommend against doing it this way. What you want to do defeats the entire purpose of using TestStand in the first place.
If you are using a newer version of TestStand (2012 or newer) I would create a custom plugin to do exactly what you are doing.
There is a ton of information out there on plugins.
Here is an example on probably what you are trying to do:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052N-01/tsexamples/infotopics/modelplugin/
Here are some more links that are important:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052K-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/pmpcreatingplugins/
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052M-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/process_model_plugin_ar...
The advantage of using a plugin is that now all tests can utilize it as opposed to the report generation being specific to a single test.

Custom CSV Report Export

Hi,
Just wondering, instead of using the ApEx built-in "Export to CSV" function against a report, is there a means of having a separate procedure that will perform the exact same functionality which when the user presses a button or clicks a link on the page, it calls this separate procedure, which will generate the CSV file of the report the user is viewing and pop-up a dialog window suggesting whether to open in excel/save or cancel?
Basically need a custom procedure that emulates Oralce ApEx's export to csv process.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Tony.

Tony,
Check this link.
Re: Reports in Oracle Apex
There are just two changes I would add to the method I gave in the reply there.
a) If your data itself has commas in the fields, you need to add double quotes too when forming the CSV data.
b) Instead of a new blank page with just this process, you can create the before header process in the current page itself and make it conditional on the "export_CSV" button.

CSV Report not viewable in OIM 11g and BI 10.1.3.4.1

Hi,
New to OIM 11g. We are using BI publisher 10.1.3.4.1 in OIM 11g to generate reports. We are able to view and generate reports in almost all the supported formats eg: pdf, excel, html etc. But we are unable to view CSV format report in our Dev environment.
Can anyone please suggest? Is there any configuration needed or any patch required for this ?
Edited by: 866606 on Jun 17, 2011 5:29 AM

Hi,
For individuals arriving here in the future, I managed to work this out for BI Publisher 11g. Turns out you have to manipulate the file directly.

CSV Report Export

In 'Regions'->'Report Attributes'->'Report Export', there is an option for enabling CSV output. I'm interested to know how APEX generates these files internally. Is there some documentation explaining this, or is the code available somewhere?

Hi crottyan,
well, I guess the main point missing in your question is the WHY, what is your use case for asking this question?
We certainly could tell you how this works internally, but you have a reason to ask that (which you are not telling us) . So we assume you would like to use the same internal stuff to generate CSV output for your own queries / tables.
Using internal APEX stuff is not a suggested practice that we want to enforce on the forums, but there are many different ways to generate your custom CSV output.
So, the best would be to tell us about your use case, what are you trying to achieve.
Best regards,
~Dietmar.
