Excel file name at BIRT

Hi:
I'm looking for an easy way to set the Excel file name to a personal name instead of the generic name report.xls, report_1.xls...
I think there must be an easiest way as set the sheettab's name, that is just the code line:
reportContext.setPageVariable( reportContext.PAGE_VAR_PAGE_LABEL, "desired_name" );
At the tab script of a table.
Does anybody how to do this? Any kind of REPORT_VAR or something like that?
Thank you all.
P.D. This s my first post, if I made any mistake, please let my know. Thanks again.

Sorry for be late to answer. I´m using BIRT 4.3 whith the org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.nativexls_1.0.0.201110122114.jar
But now i´m thinking that the problem is at SpagoBi becose BIRT serve the xls report ok with its name and its table named sheets without script. the script is to name the xls sheets in SpagoBI. and i was looking for something like that.
Thanks

How to capture the excel file name

Hi friends,
when i execute my program one excel sheet is getting generated.for this i have used a fm 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT'.i want to capture that excel file name and i want to pass it to next function module as input.bcz i should not do any hard coding like passing the filename directly into the function module.
anybody have any suggestion for this.

Hi,
Here is the piece of code ....
I hope this will add some help to u...

And yes, as you were intimating, the delay validation on the dataflow should be set.

Hi NguyenBL,
According to your description, you created ssis package to export data from database to excel, when the package runs, you want to create new excel and name the file with time stamp. If that is the case, we can achieve the goal by following steps:
Create a script task used to create excel files.
Create a data flow task to export data from database to excel.
Add OLE DB source to data flow task.
Add Excel Destination to data flow task.
Create connection manager for OLE DB and Excel.
Click Excel Connection Manager, in Properties window, click (…) button next to Expressions, then set ExcelFilePath with expression like below:
"C:\\ETL Lab\\CreateNewExcel\\ExportData_"+REPLACE((DT_STR, 20, 1252)(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)@[System::StartTime], ":", "")+".xls"
For detail information, please refer to the document:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Get Excel File Name

I have an Excel Source and would like to use file name as a input column.
I noticed that I can use For Each Loop Container to get file name pass to the Excel Source, I just wanted to know does it work like flat file to get file name using advance edit?
Your help and information is great appreciated,
Regards,
Souris,

Are you looping through Excel files?
If so you already parametrized the name of the file and then use
Click on Excel Connection Manager --> go to Properties window --> Select Expression and set
ExcelFilePath with package variable User::CurrentFileName from the loop as shown below:
Reference: http://sql-bi-dev.blogspot.ca/2010/08/dynamic-ssis-package-to-import-excel.html
PS: The Excel connection does not expose the filename property that the FFC does.

How to change the excel file name which is in Application server...

hi friends,
my requirement is getting failed, when i'm trying to change the file name which is in Application server using the FM: SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
when i execute above FM, i can see all my required details in SM69 like:
COMMAND NAME: ZSPOOL_TEST1
OS: Windows NT
TYPE: Customer
OS COMMAND: cmd rename Y:\OBRZ.PDF OBRZ38582.PDF
once the above FM is executed, i'm getting SY-SUBRC = 2 (exception: COMMAND_NOT_FOUND).
so, can any one guide me how to resolve this issue or is there any other way to rename the file which is in AS?
thanks in advance...

Hi ,
First you can tranfer the AS server file to a new application server file.
Then you delete the original file .
To do that you can write code as follows --
DATA : w_file(8) TYPE c VALUE 'FILE_NAM', " your present AS file name
       w_new(8) TYPE c VALUE 'NEW_FILE',
       fs_itab(255) TYPE c,
       t_itab LIKE TABLE OF fs_itab.
OPEN DATASET w_file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
DO.
READ DATASET w_file INTO fs_itab. " Reading value from the AS file to field string
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    EXIT.
ELSE.
    APPEND fs_itab TO t_itab. " Populating internal table form the file value
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
OPEN DATASET w_new FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE. " creating a new file if that does not exist
LOOP AT t_itab INTO fs_itab.
TRANSFER fs_itab TO w_new. " Transfering to file
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET w_file..
DELETE DATASET w_file. " Dleting the old file
CLOSE DATASET w_new. " Closing the final file

Excel file name with Time stamp, also from a template?

Hi i created this little vi that opens an excel template, then populates it with pressure and temperature values. that part worked fine.
My issue is i'd now like to rename that template file so i can append the current date and time. ive started off trying to do this, but got a bit stuck! any ideas?
ideally i want labview to pick the template residing at A, rename it, then save it in location B.
How is this achieved?
Many thanks

BO Live Office - Excel files no longer opening

Hi all,
I've been running into a problem and only encountered it when installing BO Live Office. On my old computer, I used to be able to click on an Excel file that was on my desktop, for example, and then Excel would automatically open up and open the file. Then when I downloaded Live Office, I was no longer able to do this. Now everytime I click on an Excel file (no matter where it is located), I keep getting an error. Excel opens, but it tells me "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
At first I thought it was just my computer messing up and or something else was going wrong, but now I'm not so sure. I just recently got a new computer and I tried out opening an Excel file (from my desktop, for example) and it worked. Then I went and installed Live Office with the latest FixPack, etc. Once I installed it, it would no longer let me open an Excel File by clicking on the file. I keep getting the same error - "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
On my old computer, I had Office 2003 w/Windows XP and now I have Office 2007 w/Windows 7. It doesn't seem to matter if I have the latest software or upgrades/fixpacks. This error still occurs. I've tried turning off/disabling the Live Office Plug-in, but this has not worked either. Has anyone run into this problem before? I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Charlette

Hi,
I also had the same issue (from couple of months) after we upgraded and it was very very frustating until I saw this post.
Thanks a lot Tracy.
I added "%1" at the end in the field labeled u2018Application used to perform action:u2019
"......\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE" "%1" /e
The excel files are now opening. But there is also a message along with it. It says as below.
>>>
Windows cannot find '<excel file name goes here>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To searcg for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
>>>
It's odd that the file is opening fine even though the above message shows up. This happens to every .XLS and .XLSX file. Atleast the file is opening now, which is great!
I am not sure how to fix the warning message.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks again.

A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

hi gurus,
Issue with excel file read is that we can read only one file by setting the path from ODBC Data Source Administrator-->System DNS -->Select Work book
what i want to read the dynamic path(Every time I cant go back and set the Work book to select the excel file..
So i came up with a solution to write a Vbscript that convert the excel to csv my problem got solved for dynamic paths the script is as follow:
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
FullName = objArgs(I)
FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
objExcel.application.visible=false
objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
objExcel.Application.Quit
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
set objExcelBook = Nothing
Next
Now this script convert the xls file to csv with comma seprated values
e.g in excel sheet if data is ABC XYZ PQR
csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...
can anyone tell me that what should be the correct code for pipe
so that the output is ABC|XYZ|PQR
AS WE CAN USE THE SCRIPTS IN TOOLS

I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
Hope this helps.

"Excel has detected that mg.xls is a SYLK file, but cannot load it. Either the file has error, or it is not a SYLK file format.

mg.xls is the excel file name.
When I click OK, the the file opens in a proper XLS format.
But I am not sure why is this pop up message coming.

Extract data from Oracle in excel file

I have a requirement where in I need to extract data from Oracle in excel file and the excel worksheet name should be "Data".
for eg. excel file name "AR Data_DDMMYY" and excel worksheet name "Data"

I tried using utl_file.fcopy and frename.
Is there any way to do this using PLSQL?
select * from v$version;

Hi,
I was able to generate the excel 2007 file with the data using the package from below link;
http://technology.amis.nl/2011/02/19/create-an-excel-file-with-plsql/
but the requirement is to generate excel 2003 file.
I tried changing the .xlsx to .xls and it gives a note while opening the file "The file you are trying to open, abc.xls, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"Then you have three options:
1) stop using anton's package and find another one that supports the old and deprecated version of Excel 2003
2) write your own package to produce an Excel file.
3) Upgrade your version of Excel to a recent version
I tried the programs from other links on the forum but I am still getting this message. The client does not want this message to be displayed as the excel file works as an input to another system.
Can anyone help me with the issue?
Also, is it true that the programatically generated excel file is actually an xml file which is renamed to .xls and hence it shows the message while opening such files?Yes, Excel supports several different formats for it's files. By default, if you save an XLS files from Excel, it writes it out in a Microsoft proprietary binary format, which you would be hard pushed to replicate easily from PL/SQL. Excel also has the ability to save it's files as XML format, which is more readable and easier to produce programatically, whilst still allowing you to have multiple sheets, formulas and formatting included in it. That's the format that most people who need formatting and multiple sheets opt for when programatically generating their data as excel workbooks. (There's also an SLYK format that people used to use before that, but it's not as flexible)
If you want to write your own, the easiest thing to do is to start with a blank workbook in Excel, and put in your basic requirements e.g. a couple of named sheets, and some data in different formats (number, date, text etc.) and different formatting options etc. Save that file in XML format from Excel and then open up the file using notepad/wordpad to look at the structure. There'll be a whole load of redundant rubbish Microsoft put in there, but you should be able to figure out the basic structure of XML required to give you what you want.
