Extracting a csv file into a Z directory in AL11 via Open Hub

Hi All,
After reviewing alot of treads I am able to etracte a .csv file via Open Hub Destination into DIR_HOME in AL11.
But, My requirement is to create the file in AL11 directory "ZBIWCOPA" and this directory is available in all systems in the landscape.
Kindly provide inputs on creating this file in this "Z" AL11 directory and precauious while transporting the Open Hub.
Appreciate your suggestions

I see where I went wrong in my answer, now that I'm able to actually logon (my apologies). In your case, you're going to have to create a Logical File Path and Logical File Name in tcode FILE.
1) When you get into tcode FILE, click on the New Entries button.
2) Enter a Logical File Path technical name and description.
3) Click on Save.
4) Back out of the screen, highlight the Logical File Path you created, double-click on the Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path on the left-navigation bar and click the New Entries button.
5) Enter the OS compatibility you wish this path to have for the Syntax Group. In your case, you want to select the OS for the application servers that are going to be the landing zone for your file.
6) Enter /ZBIWCOPA/ in the Phyiscal Path. Save the assignment.
7) Go back to the main screen for tcode FILE and double-click on the Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client selection on the left navigation bar.
8) Click on the New Entries button.
9) Enter the Logical File Name technical name, description in Name, Phyiscal File name (e.g. this is the actual name of the file to be sent to the landing zone), Data Format, Application Area, Logic File Path that you created and then Save.
10) In your OHD, remove any server name and enter to the Logical File Name that you created in tcode FILE.

How to read/write .CSV file into CLOB column in a table of Oracle 10g

I have a requirement which is nothing but a table has two column
create table emp_data (empid number, report clob)
Here REPORT column is CLOB data type which used to load the data from the .csv file.
The requirement here is
1) How to load data from .CSV file into CLOB column along with empid using DBMS_lob utility
2) How to read report columns which should return all the columns present in the .CSV file (dynamically because every csv file may have different number of columns) along with the primariy key empid).
eg: empid report_field1 report_field2
1 x y
Any help would be appreciated.

If I understand you right, you want each row in your table to contain an emp_id and the complete text of a multi-record .csv file.
It's not clear how you relate emp_id to the appropriate file to be read. Is the emp_id stored in the csv file?
To read the file, you can use functions from [UTL_FILE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm#BABGGEDF] (as long as the file is in a directory accessible to the Oracle server):
declare
    lt_report_clob CLOB;
    l_max_line_length integer := 1024;   -- set as high as the longest line in your file
    l_infile UTL_FILE.file_type;
    l_buffer varchar2(1024);
    l_emp_id report_table.emp_id%type := 123; -- not clear where emp_id comes from
    l_filename varchar2(200) := 'my_file_name.csv';   -- get this from somewhere
begin
   -- open the file; we assume an Oracle directory has already been created
    l_infile := utl_file.fopen('CSV_DIRECTORY', l_filename, 'r', l_max_line_length);
    -- initialise the empty clob
    dbms_lob.createtemporary(lt_report_clob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.session);
    loop
      begin
         utl_file.get_line(l_infile, l_buffer);
         dbms_lob.append(lt_report_clob, l_buffer);
      exception
         when no_data_found then
             exit;
      end;
    end loop;
    insert into report_table (emp_id, report)
    values (l_emp_id, lt_report_clob);
    -- free the temporary lob
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(lt_report_clob);
   -- close the file
   UTL_FILE.fclose(l_infile);
end;This simple line-by-line approach is easy to understand, and gives you an opportunity (if you want) to take each line in the file and transform it (for example, you could transform it into a nested table, or into XML). However it can be rather slow if there are many records in the csv file - the lob_append operation is not particularly efficient. I was able to improve the efficiency by caching the lines in a VARCHAR2 up to a maximum cache size, and only then appending to the LOB - see [three posts on my blog|http://preferisco.blogspot.com/search/label/lob].
There is at least one other possibility:
- you could use [DBMS_LOB.loadclobfromfile|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i998978]. I've not tried this before myself, but I think the procedure is described [here in the 9i docs|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96591/adl12bfl.htm#879711]. This is likely to be faster than UTL_FILE (because it is all happening in the underlying DBMS_LOB package, possibly in a native way).
That's all for now. I haven't yet answered your question on how to report data back out of the CLOB. I would like to know how you associate employees with files; what happens if there is > 1 file per employee, etc.

How to import old iPhone SMS.CSV file into new iPhone?

Hey everyone,
So I've spent a couple days on this as I just upgraded to the iPhone5S from my 4S. Long story short, my backup restore didn't work after multiple tries (gave me the file is corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone error).
I tried:
-reinstalling itunes
-updating itunes
-combining the 5S backup with the old 4S backup
-tinyumbrella
and a few of other things as I've forgot now.
The most important things I needed was the contact list and SMS history. I've got the contact list from extracting is successfully from the iTunes backup folder and using iCloud, but cannot figure out how to import the SMS.CSV file into my iPhone5S.
Any suggestions on how I can get my SMS messages from my iPhone4s into my 5S?
If anyone has any other suggestions on getting my Backup Restore to work that would be awesome too!
Thanks!

A word on SMS text messages. It is pracitcally impossible to import an SMS text-messages file to a new iPhone and have the Messages app on the new device read the messages.
You can transfer, however contacts and other individual data (such as calendars and notes) from one iphone to the next. I had my old Nokia which whose contacts I exported to a CSV file. I then imported the file to my iphone which converted the file into multiple contacts in the Contacts app on the iphone. You can use a contact management app such as this one in order to import the contact file to the new iPhone.

Cannot extract dimension .csv files from HFM to be able to use maploader

Hi All!
We are in the middle of implementing FDM at a financial consolidation project. During this build we would like to use FDM to load HFM with data.
To help the users we would like to offer them the Maploader.xml which is provided in the mapping templates.zip
To prepare this maploader file we need to extract the dimension data from HFM into csv files and load these into the maploader.
Can anyone help me with extracting the .csv files? The script we use creates the csv files but does not load them with the metadata.
Maybe it is possible to get the right script? Or is this already available in FDM (can't find it)?
Thank you in advance for your support!!

Anyone got any tips or directions to solve this?

Looking for a Notes app that I can import CSV files into?

As the title says, I'm looking for a good notes application for my iPhone that I can import CSV files into. I have tried both Appigo and Notespark, but I can't easily scroll through them, as I have 2,000+ notes. Is there any app that I can import my notes into and also scroll through quickly? I'd like something that works similarly to how you scroll through songs on the iPhone/iTouch, with the column on the right where you can skip to songs (notes, in this case) that start with a certain letter.
Thanks!

Hi Tx Tar Heel,
I've been using Office2HD: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/office2-hd/id364361728?mt=8
Its cheaper than Numbers and it also works for Word and PowerPoint files too. I like the Dropbox integration. I can start on my Office docs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in the office and then edit those files with Office2HD when I'm out of the office. Files saves right back to Dropbox so that when I get back to the office the files are already updated. Not bad for a $7.99 app!
Hope this helps!

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.

Read CSV file into a 1-D array

Hi
I would like to read a csv file into a cluster of 4 elements which would then be read into a 1-D array.
My cluster contains a typedef, a double, a boolean, and another typedef.
Basically it could be seen as:
Bob Runs, 4, T, Bob
Mary sits, 5, F, Mary
Bob Sits, 2, F, Bob
Mary Runs, 9, T, Mary
(keeps growing)
Are there any good examples for what I am trying to put together that I could leverage, or is it better to use a different input file than a csv. I am trying to make my program more flexable and easier to make adjustments even after the executable is created. My line items seem to be growing exponentially and is getting difficult to manage in the LV window.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unless your CSV file is huge, I'd use "Read from Spreadsheet File" with the delimiter set as "," and the type as string. This will give you a 2D array of strings. You could then separate out each column of the array, convert to the appropriate data type, and use Index & Bundle Cluster Array to build your array of clusters. Something like this (except I'm using a string constant in place of reading from the file).

How can I import data from a csv file into databse using utl_file?

Hi,
I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
Please let me know how can I do this.
Thanks,

Question about reading csv file into internal table

Some one (thanks those nice guys!) in this forum have suggested me to use FM KCD_CSV_FILE_TO_INTERN_CONVERT to read csv file into internal table. However, it can be used to read a local file only.
I would like to ask how can I read a CSV file into internal table from files in application server?
I can't simply use SPLIT as there may be comma in the content. e.g.
"abc","aaa,ab",10,"bbc"
My expected output:
abc
aaa,ab
10
bbb

Combine multiple CSV files into a single multi-column CSV file

Hey Scripting Guy!
I have what is probably a simple issue, but I haven't been able to find the right answer.
I have 18 CSV files that each contain the same header and a single value as shown below:
"Sum"
"90"
These files are the results of SMTP traffic by domain.
All I want to do is to combine the 18 CSV files into a single file with the content of each file in a separate column, using the file name as the column header.
For example:
file1.csv
"Sum"
"90"
file2.csv
"Sum"
"325"
file2.csv
"Sum"
"3534"
The desired ouput is:
"file1.csv","file2.csv","file3.csv"
"Sum","Sum","Sum"
"90","325","3534"
I don't need to row of Sum's if it is easy to leave out. It would be even better if this could be put into an Excel spreadsheet.
Thanks for your help!

How To Split Large Excel or CSV Files into Smaller Files

Does anyone know how to split a large Excel or CSV file into multiple smaller files? Or, is there an app that will work with Mac to do that?

split [-a suffix_length] [-b byte_count[k|m]] [-l line_count] [-p pattern] [file [name]]
is a native Terminal command. Read up more on https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/split.1.html
I prefer to use gSplit which is gnu coreutils.
You can install gnu coreutils using homebrew.
