Download CSV-File from Interactive Report

Dear all,
I want to download a CSV-File from a Interactive report.
The content of the Rows in Excel:
Erste,"B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P"
IBC ->,"-","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14" [...]
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for help.

Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".

How to create .csv file from ABAP report

Hi
We have a requirement to generate .csv file from abap report.
Currently user saves data from abap report to spreadsheet(.xls format) in desktop. Then opens excel file and save as .csv format. Need option to save directly in .csv format instead of .xls format.
Please let me know, if there is any standard function module available to create .csv file.

ORA-20876 in csv export from interactive report = Possibly a bug?

Hi Apex team,
yesterday i tried to download data to csv from an interactive report. The resulting csv file contained a "ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine" only and no other data. I played around with other reports in my application and had no problems with exports.
After some investigation i found out that the buggy report contains a column of display type "Display as text (based on a LOV, escape special characters)". When I changed this column type to "Standard Report Column" for example, the error didn't appear anymore and the csv export contained complete data.
Maybe this is a bug? The environment is Apex 4.1.1.00.23 on 11g (UTF-8). Is there a workaround available?
Regards,
Jens

Additional Information
The problem seems to occur only if a Shared Components LOV of type "Static" is referenced in the IR column.

Hi,
what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.
Try to export just one row in your IR report (and classic report), so that you add where rownum < 2.

Downloading a file from a report link

I have a report link that sends a couple parameters to a secondary page.
The secondary page has a process in it that selects a blob file from a table and then downloads that file.
However, there is no browser download file dialog window that pops-up when the link is clicked.
The file just displays in the browser. So, I'm thinking I have something wrong with my MIME header.
The process that downloads the file is:
<code>
DECLARE
l_length NUMBER;
l_lob_loc BLOB := EMPTY_BLOB();
l_mime_type warm_files.mime_type%TYPE;
BEGIN
apex_application.g_page_text_generated := true;
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
select blob_content, dbms_lob.getlength(blob_content), mime_type
into l_lob_loc, l_length, l_mime_type
from WARM_FILES
where context_id = :P12_CONTEXT_ID
and file_id = :P12_FILE_ID
-- set up HTTP header
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (l_mime_type, FALSE);
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
-- close the headers
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file (l_lob_loc);
END;
</code>
The :P12 variables are the parameters coming in from the link.
There are no errors. The file just displays in the browser window.
Any clues as to what I'm missing are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alan,
try this...
This is my procedure which I adapted to yours...
<code>
DECLARE
l_length NUMBER;
l_lob_loc BLOB := EMPTY_BLOB();
l_mime_type warm_files.mime_type%TYPE;
l_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
apex_application.g_page_text_generated := true;
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
SELECT null,
BLOB_CONTENT,
name,
DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO l_mime_type,
l_lob_loc,
l_file_name,
l_length
from WARM_FILES
where context_id = :P12_CONTEXT_ID
and file_id = :P12_FILE_ID;
-- set up HTTP header
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(l_mime_type,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||substr(l_file_name,instr(l_file_name,'/')+1)|| '"');
-- close the headers
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file (l_lob_loc);
END;
</code>
Hope it helps.

ITunes keeps trying to download nonexistent file from Store, reports as "Corrupted"

iTunes Match mis-matched one of my songs. It turns out it's from an album no longer carried in the iTunes Store. Through Customer Service, I obtained a credit to re-purchase the song from a different album.
This was months ago. There hasn't been a problem - until now.
Out of nowhere, iTunes started attempting to re-download the original song. The progress bar refills several times, then a pop-up dialog states the file is corrupted, and I should "Check Available Downloads" to try again. The track has even reappeared in my iTunes Library, albeit grayed out and with a "!" next to it.
How do I convince iTunes and the iTunes Store that this is a non-existent track, and to stop trying to download it?

I am having this issue as well, same error number and everything. Only one song too, the songs purchased before and after it download correctly. You have to press the report problem link specifically next to the song after pressing the initial report problem on your purchase history page.
Not that Apple Support has done much for me yet, they claimed it was my ISP or something which is pure fabrication.

Downloading a file from a report in APEX 4.0

I once wrote this in an old version of APEX where one had to deal with the wwv_flow_files ...
I now have a page which allows me to upload a file into a blob as well as the mimetype and filename...
But I cannot find APEX 4.0 documentation on how to get the correct URL in hte report to get to the file...
I see the blob content is there etc ...
But not sure how to build the p?n=#ID# part of the URL
Any good links ???

See About BLOB Support in Forms and Reports in the documentation.
There's an OBE tutorial that followed the introduction of declarative BLOB support in 3.1 as well.

Download csv file with strange file name.

hi, guys:
We installed Oracle APEX 4.2, and APEX listener 2.0 and Oracle 11g standard edition for our application. But sometimes when user tried to download csv file from an interactive report, the file name was a very strange one, sometimes even no .csv extension. could anyone give me a hint to find documentation about it?
Thanks.

a little more information about it:
I found the file name is "&P16_DIP_START_DATE NOA", which we expect to generate a file named as " some date NOA.csv", but APEX does not recognize the value of variable. For example, if teh value of P16_DIP_START_DATE is 11/15/2012, we expect the file name as "11/15/2012 NOA.csv", but APEX will give us very strange file name replaceing every "/" with / I appreciate anyone who could help me on this issue. But We did not encounter this [roblem on APEX 4.1, OC4J and Oracle 11g R2 enterprise.
Thanks.
I just used to_char to output date without "/" and soleved it. The other way is to set application property-->security-->browser security with basic level. This only applies to APEX 4.2. I am lucky for that I am using Apex 4.2.

I can has editing?Suspect you are trying to explain that "/"s are being rendered as <tt>&#x2F</tt>? If you want to include character entities in forum posts then you have to type the ampersand ("&") as an entity itself, thus: <tt>&amp;#x2F</tt>.Windows or *NIX filenames can't contain "/"s anyway, so you can't use them regardless of how APEX is rendering them. Using a <tt>YYYYMMDD</tt> format is also recommended as it follows date order when using character comparison semantics.

Download data from interactive report

Hi all. I'm on apex 3.1.1.00.09.
I have this problem: when I download data from interactive report I can download only in CSV and PDF. If I try to download into pdf it creates a file of only 1 KB.
I would know if I must configure my apex in order to download correctly in pdf and if I must configure it in order to download in doc and xls format.
Thanks all for collaboration,
Fabrizio

Thank you for your reply.
I am able to download the csv file, but my problem is: I don't want the column headings to show.
Is it possible to download only the data, not the column headings?

One field is missing in downloading the file from report

Hi Friends,
I have a problem with downloading the file from SAP.
Actually the report has to download 6 fields from the list of the report to a .txt file on the presentation server. But it is downloading only 5 fields. The missing field is DEA#. Actually now i have to fix that problem.
I found that in the download process they have not inlcuded the DEA# field.
Here in this 1 field is not getting dowloading from the list of the report to the text file.
I'm giving a portion of the code.
Like this they r calling the FM:
FORM DOWNLOAD_FILE.
CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            FILENAME = P_OUTFIL
       TABLES
            DATA_TAB = I_OUTPUT.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    WRITE:/ 'Error downloading file'.
ENDIF.
in code we have,
data: v_output type t_output,
data: i_output type t_output occurs 0.
and,
BEGIN OF T_OUTPUT,
       RECORD(200),
       END OF T_OUTPUT.
when i debug the program,
the record field is showing only the 5 fields not the missing 6th filed)DEA#).
and we have another FORM :
*&      Form FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
      Insert tabs between fields so when uploaded in Excel, the
      record will be separated into columns where a tab is found.
FORM FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS.
LOOP AT I_KNA1 INTO V_KNA1.
    CONCATENATE: V_KNA1-KUNNR
                 V_KNA1-NAME1
                 V_KNA1-NAME2
                 V_KNA1-STRAS
                 V_KNA1-ORT01
                 V_KNA1-REGIO
                 V_KNA1-PSTLZ
       INTO V_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY C_TAB.
    APPEND V_OUTPUT TO I_OUTPUT.
    CLEAR V_OUTPUT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.                               " FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
If you look into this FM, there is no mention of DEA# field,
i hve tried to correct it by adding the "v_likp_dea" in the FM. when i did like this it is showing the DEA# field in the downloaded .txt file but only 1 value for all the records.
My question is for each record i have to show its unique DEA#.
I guess i could do this by putting it in loop, could anybody tell me how i can i do that, Please
Thank you very much.
Raj.

In the subroutine format_file_with_tabs ,
You should read it_likp with the key that uniquely identifies for dea# . This should be done in the loop at i_kna1.
Suppose kunnr identifies a unique dea# in it_likp internal table , then you should write
FORM FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS.
LOOP AT I_KNA1 INTO V_KNA1.
clear v_likp.
read table it_likp into v_likp
   with key kunnr = v_kna1-kunnr binary search.   (should sort the itab to use binary search with read. )
CONCATENATE: V_KNA1-KUNNR
V_KNA1-NAME1
V_KNA1-NAME2
V_KNA1-STRAS
V_KNA1-ORT01
V_KNA1-REGIO
V_KNA1-PSTLZ
v_likp-dea
INTO V_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY C_TAB.
APPEND V_OUTPUT TO I_OUTPUT.
CLEAR V_OUTPUT.

FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R error in the downloaded csv file

Hello,
I'm trying to use the functionality of the FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R as follows:
href="f?p=&APP_ID.:14:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R&P_REGION_ID._en"
Where the computation for P_REGION_ID is:
SELECT region_id FROM apex_application_page_regions
WHERE application_id = :app_id
AND page_id = :app_page_id
AND region_name = 'CSV export'
In the downloaded CSV file i get the following:
- the first row: +<||div id="report_33994800669487811_catch">+
- the last 2 row: +<||pre>report error:+
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error<||/pre>
(|| - sign is so I can show the tags in the post)
The rest of the data is downloaded ok.
But still how can i get rid of these errors?
Thanks,
Adela

It seems that the problem was caused by the "_en" termination (FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R&P_REGION_ID.*_en*).
But is there any way to get rid of the <||div id="report_33994800669487811_catch"> <||/div> tags from the begining, respective the end of the CSV file ?
Thanks,
Adela

BEA 9.2 Portal issue: downloaded CSV file contains embedded html code

We have J2EE application using BEA 9.2 Portal framework, and one of the page has feature to generate report( in pop up window) in CSV file format. As per the history from previous developer, BEA 8.1 didn't have this issue but, after mirgration to 9.2, they started having file download error( incomplete contents ..). To overcome this issue they commented out setting content length to HttpServletResponse as attached below, but this, now, causes html page source code of the parent page( where submit button is clicked to generate csv file report) being rendered along with actual report in the downloaded CSV file. Has anyone have this sort of issue? If so, can you please share your thoughts? or any thoughts in general?
BEA 9.2 with Portal framework, JDK 15, JSP, Beehive NetUI, Sun Microsystem Solaris server
Here is the source code that avoids setting content length and reasoning behind it..
private static void setResponseHeadersForCSVFile(HttpServletResponse response, String filename, int contentLength)
String mimeType = mimeTypes.getContentType(filename);
response.reset();
response.setContentType(mimeType);
// DON'T explicitly set the content length, since the length of the String or StringBuffer that contains
// the contents of the CSV file will be character encoded when it is actually written to the output stream, based
// upon the character encoding of this JVM App Server's settings. So let the JVM App Server framework apply the character
// encoding AND set the final and truly correct content length header at the time the contents of the String or StringBuffer are truly
// streamed back to the user.
//response.setContentLength(contentLength);
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\"; size=" + contentLength);
}

1) Yes, the old content.tld is available as part of a web library module as a taglib.tld file. The module is: wlp-services-web-lib.war, which can be found in your bea/weblogic92/portal/lib/modules directory.
2) The new API is accessible from the ContentManagerFactory class. This provides access to INodeManager, ITypeManager, ISearchManager, etc. The new API is contained within the com.bea.content.federated package. The 8.1.x API in the com.bea.content.manager package including RepositoryManager, NodeOps, SearchOps, etc. has been deprecated with 9.2.
3) Yes, via the new I*Manager implementations. The entitlement support is for application-scoped visitor roles. Make sure you're using the ISearchManager when performing search operations. This will ensure secure results are returned.

Need help to download csv file in application by writting to outputstream.

HI All,
Requirment of my client is donloading CSV file from portal.
My approach is:
On clicking "Download" button in JSP I am calling an action in controller and from here I am redirecting call to DownloadCSV.jsp where i am writing to output stream of response.
Action called in controller:
     @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = StaticConstants.SUCCESS, redirect = true, path = "DownloadCSV.jsp") })
     public Forward gotoReports() {
          Forward forward = new Forward(StaticConstants.SUCCESS);
          return forward;
Download jsp:
response.resetBuffer();
     response.reset();
     response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
     response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="+ companyId +"_Audit_Report.csv");
     ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os .println();
          os .print("DATE");
          os .print("USER");
os .println();
os.flush();
os.close();
I am able to download the csv file in excel. But after that i am not able to perform any operation in portal page. Mouser pointer becomes busy and cant click on anything.
Second approach followed:
I wrote the code for writting to outputstream of outputresponse in controller action itself and forwarded to the same jsp where my download button resides.
Problem:
Download happens perfectly but the excel in csv format contains the portal framework generated content also other than content i wrote to response.
If u have any other approach to download an excel without redirecting to JSP plz let me know. Coing is being done in 10.2 weblogic portal.
Please help. Its very urgent.
Plz let me know how a file can be downloded in portal context without keeping a file at server side. I need to download file by writting to outputstream.
If it is possible plz attach one small example project also.
Thanks a ton in advance.
It is very important plz do reply.

Hi Srinivas,
For downloading binary content that is not text/html, the Oracle WebLogic Portal content management tools use javascript in an onclick event handler to set the window URL to the URL of a download pageflow controller: window.location = url. The content management tools are in a portal so it should be possible for you to do the same thing.
The url is a custom pageflow controller that streams the bytes to the response. It sounds like you already have a pageflow you could recycle to use in that way. You don't want to stay within your portlet pageflow because then you will be streaming bytes into the middle of a portal response. You want a separate download pageflow that you invoke directly, outside of the portal framework (in other words, don't invoke it by rendering a portlet that invokes the pageflow).
You can set the url to invoke the pageflow directly by giving the path to the pageflow controller from the web root (remember the pageflow path matches the package name of the pageflow controller class) like this: "/content/node/nodeSelected/download/DownloadContentController.jpf"
By the way, for the case of text/html, the tools uses a standalone portlet URL so that the text/html is not rendered in the browser window, which would replace the portal markup (because the browser renders text/html by default, instead of giving you a download widget or opening some other application to deal with the bytes).

Downloading a file from App Server to User's Desktop

Hi All,
I know that there are many threads on file upload and download :-)
I have tried to browse through most of them and could not find my solution.
The requirement is to place a file in the unix app server directory and allow the user to download it using a link, to the user's desktop. In case you think that this has already been answered in an old thread, kindly give me the pointer. Any sample code for doing this, would be great.
I know how to upload a file from desktop to table/app server. I know how to download a file from a BLOB column in database.
Thanks,
Amit

You would not be able to use file upload or download beans, as they interact with the database and not the filesystem.
You would need to write a simple file reader routing in plain java.
