Exporting data from Oracle to an existing Excel file

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to open up an excel file on the server (with the necessary lay-out) and to write the query results in it?
Another remark: the file needs to be saved under a different name (we use the user name as part of the files since the file will be sent through email rather than be displayed on the user's screen)

If you are satisfied with a straight dump, you might want to use utl_file to make a standard CSV-file.
If you need a little more control of the layout, you might want to check out the SYLK file format (quite ancient)
These require no Excel application and works on UNIX servers too. If you really have to have the full magic (on a Win32 platform) you could try using Jacob or some other Java-COM-bridge to launch the Excel-application and enter the values into the worksheet but this falls into the "duct tape and chewing gum"-category of stability in my opinion...

How to export data from a Dynpro table to Excel file?

Looking for example to export data from a DynPro table to Excel file

Hello,
I have a certain content in a table.
I would like to export this content to Excel file and let the user save it on his PC. I tried to use the Office Controller but with no success.
Have someone already made something like this and can show me an example?

Hi
I already explained this in another post. Anyway i will cut and paste the same for you.Here you go.Sample way to create a Excel file and then download it to a local pc using a FileUI Download element.
We are developing a generic component for the same requirement which will download data to a excel from any table.
Anyway here is something which will give you some kind of idea as to how you can write the data from WebDynpro to a excel file.
For running this application
Ensure that the requisite JAR files are set for the Excel API's. See the blog link below.
Steps :
All your files in the machine running the WAS will be created in the default location
Alias : webdynpro/resources
Path : <Drive>:/usr/sap/J2E/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/temp/webdynpro/web
You can open your Visual Administrator and go to HTTP provider service and then create your own Alias. say
Alias : myAlias
Path : <Drive>:/mydirectory/myfiles
Once this is done restart your WebAS.
The code explained will perform the following.
There is a button UI element and a Download UI element. On click of the Action associated with the button ui element
The code below will create a excel file in the location mentioned.
On click of the download UI element you can view the excel file that was created.
Now create a New project in your NWDS
Follow the blog for importing the necessary jar files for Excel
/people/perumal.kanthan/blog/2005/03/21/reading-excel-data-from-java-using-hssf-api
Once that is done you can create say a button in your Webdynpro and associate it with a action.
Then you can write some code like the one below.
//Declare this in the end between the Begin others block.
private FileOutputStream out = null;
private HSSFWorkbook workBook = null;
private HSSFSheet hsSheet = null;
private HSSFRow row = null;
private HSSFCell cell = null;
private HSSFCellStyle cs = null;
private HSSFCellStyle cs1 = null;
private HSSFCellStyle cs2 = null;
private HSSFDataFormat dataFormat = null;
private HSSFFont f = null;
private HSSFFont f1 = null;
//Code to create the Excel.
public void onActionExportToExcel(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionExportToExcel(ServerEvent)
    try
      out = new FileOutputStream("C:/mydirectory/myfiles/testexcel.xls");
      workBook = new HSSFWorkbook();
      hsSheet = workBook.createSheet("My Sheet");
      cs = workBook.createCellStyle();
      cs1 = workBook.createCellStyle();
      cs2 = workBook.createCellStyle();
      dataFormat = workBook.createDataFormat();
      f = workBook.createFont();
      f1 = workBook.createFont();
       f.setFontHeightInPoints((short) 12);
//          make it blue
       f.setColor( (short)HSSFFont.COLOR_NORMAL );
//           make it bold
//          arial is the default font
       f.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
//          set font 2 to 10 point type
       f1.setFontHeightInPoints((short) 10);
//          make it red
       f1.setColor( (short)HSSFFont.COLOR_RED );
//          make it bold
       f1.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
      f1.setStrikeout(true);
      cs.setFont(f);
      cs.setDataFormat(dataFormat.getFormat("#,##0.0"));
//       set a thick border
     cs2.setBorderBottom(cs2.BORDER_THICK);
//       fill w fg fill color
     cs2.setFillPattern((short) HSSFCellStyle.SOLID_FOREGROUND);
    cs2.setFillBackgroundColor((short)HSSFCellStyle.SOLID_FOREGROUND);
//       set the cell format to text see HSSFDataFormat for a full list
     cs2.setDataFormat(HSSFDataFormat.getBuiltinFormat("text"));
     cs2.setFont(f1);
     cs2.setLocked(true);
     cs2.setWrapText(true);
     row = hsSheet.createRow(0);
     hsSheet.createFreezePane(0,1,1,1);
    for(int i=1; i<10;i++)
       cell = row.createCell((short)i);
      cell.setCellValue("Excel Column "+i);
      cell.setCellStyle(cs2);
     workBook.write(out);
     out.close();
//Read the file that was created.
     FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream("C:/mydirectory/myfiles/testexcel.xls");
     byte b[] = new byte[fin.available()];
     fin.read(b,0,b.length);
     fin.close();
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setDataContent(b);
    catch(Exception e)
      wdComponentAPI.getComponent().getMessageManager().reportException("Exception while reading file "+e,true);
    //@@end
You can now add a Download UI Element to the layout.
Create a Context Attribute say "dataContent" and this should be of Type Binary.
The Data property of the File UI download element should be mapped to dataContent.
In the init method write code like
This is done for the download element.
     IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("dataContent");
     IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
//In addition the FileDownload UI element needs for defined resource types
     binaryType.setFileName("testexcel.xls");
     binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.XLS);
Hope that helps you. Anyway its a sample and it should be helpful for you to see how you can modify it and of course maintain some standards in coding unlike the test sample given above :).
Let me know if you require further clarifications
regards
ravi

Exporting Data From Oracle 10g to Access

Hi Experts,
I need to export data from oracle apps shcema(each and every object in it) to MS ACCESS File.
Please let me know how to do it
Thanks and Regards,
Andy

Since you did not provide details of what you are planning to do, a very simple, however, depending upon the number of your tables, very labour intensive solution:
Although being not very familiar with access, I think access offers a means to import csv files.
So e.g. using SQL*Plus you can execute the following steps.
set pagesize <nnn>
set linesize <nnn>
set colsep ',' -- You may choose other special characters to separate columns of your output
spool <csv-file>
select * from <tab>;
spool offWherever you see <nnn> exchange by appropriate numeric values to get just one page as result and to configure your line size to hold a complete record in one output line.
Replace <csv-file> and <tab> by the name of your output file to be read in to access and by the name of your table, respectively.

Problem while exporting the data from a report to an excel file.

Hi SAP guru's,
I have a problem while exporting the data from a report to an excel file.
The problem is that after exporting, the excel file seems to have some irrelevant characters....I am checking this using SOST transaction..
Required text (Russian):
Операции по счету
№ документа     Тип документа     № учетной записи     Дата документа     Валюта     Сумма, вкл. НДС     Срок оплаты     Описание документа
Current Text :
   ? 5 @ 0 F 8 8 ? > A G 5 B C
!   4 > : C       "" 8 ? 4 > : C      !   C G 5 B = > 9 7 0 ? 8 A 8        0 B 0 4 > : C         0 ; N B 0      ! C <       ! @ > : > ? ; 0 B K        ? 8 A 0 = 8 5 4 > : C
Can you help me making configuration settings if any?
Regards,
Avinash Raju

Hi Avinash
To download such characteres you need to adjust code page to be used during export. You can review SAP note 73606 to identify which code page is required for this language
Best regards

I export an ACCESS table to an existing Excel file. Seemed like it was working fine, but now I see that it DOES NOT clear the file first.

Thus - if I transferred 10 records last time, and there are only 6 to transfer this time, it replaces records 1 thru 6 in Excel, but LEAVES records 7-10 in the Excel file ??

When you export the access Table to an existing excel file ,you should get the message like the screenshot below:
If you click 'Yes' ,a new workbook will created ,the problem you mentioned doesn't exist.
Maybe you can try to export data within Excel. On the Data Tab->Click
From Access->choose the database file, then when you update your database in Access, these data will updated automatically.

How to export data from a string to a CSV file

Hello,
i do have a string in a Livecycle Designer script object with a couple of rows with different entries divided by a semicolon:
COLUMN1;COLUMN2;COLUMN3
Entry1;Entry2;Entry3
Entry4;Entry5;Entry6
The goal is now to export this string from Livecycle Designer into a CSV file by clicking a button. Is there any solution suggested?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
You can try creating a dataObject and then exporting it, you might get some warning messages popup but try this;
var csvData = "COLUMN1;COLUMN2;COLUMN3\r\n";
csvData += "Entry1;Entry2;Entry3\r\n";
csvData += "Entry4;Entry5;Entry6\r\n";
var pdf = event.target;
pdf.createDataObject("Data.csv", csvData);
pdf.exportDataObject({cName: "Data.csv"});
If you replace the last line with
pdf.exportDataObject({cName: "Data.csv", nLaunch: 2});
It will open in whatever .csv is registered for (Excel on my system)

Exporting data from a jsp to a text file...

Hi all.
I have a jsp which displays a set of results in a tablular form....my clients now want me to include a button in this jsp page on clicking which i will be abl�e to export the entire data from the displayed page to a text file
can anyone suggest me as to how to go about it...
thanks

Server side code(lets say servlet named exportServlet) behind the button can retreive the data in the same fashion as done for displaying on the JSP.
But then, exportServlet writes data back on the HTTP response using the mime type application/octet-stream.
See Javadoc for javax.servlet.ServletResponse.setContentType()
