Naveen,
Can you explain your problem clearly once again? Because it is confusing.
You said you are not seeing <i>In the reciever communication channel im not able to see the document name,document type,recordset structure etc details.</i> You will not see this parameters in receiver communication channel. You will see this in sender communication channel only.
Just go through this blogs. It is explained very clearly the steps need to be done:

Need help in writing data to a flat file in .csv format

Hi All,
could you please show with a sample example to write data in .csv format using UTL_file.
The result of the refcursor i want to write to a file in .csv format.
How can i achieve this.
Thx

Hi,
There are two ways to acheive this.
First and which I prefer is creating a SQL script which will generate csv file at the specified location in CSV format. And then this SQL script can be called from your cron job similar to how you call stored procedure. Following is pseudo code that can be used -
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool <name of the csv file>.csv
<Your select statement>;
spool offPut select statement delimiting columns you want to use with ','. E.g. following query should create a CSV file named as abc.csv with one record and 2 columns delimited by comma. First column is ENO and second column is ENAME.
set linesize 500
set echo off
set feedback off
set prompt off
set pagesize 0
spool abc.csv
select ENO || ',' || ENAME from employee;
spool offSecond, you can write a PLSQL procedure and then call this procedure from cron job. There is a generic procedure shared by BluShadow some time back which is a very good example for this. Please refer to following link for this solution -
REF Cursor creating CSV files
I will suggest to use first method above if possible since it will be faster and less complicated in my opinion. Second method is recommended for scenarios where select statement is created dynamically and cannot be written during development.
Hope this solves your purpose.

Save as file format CSV in Excel

Does anyone know the correct syntax on this one?
I have an excel file which should be saved as CSV.
This is what I came up with, but it doesn't run.
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
activate worksheet "worksheet1"
set fileSaveName to get save as file format CSV file format filename
save as filename fileSaveName
if fileSaveName is not "" then
display dialog "Save as " & fileSaveName
end if
end tell

It's not surprising it doesn't run but that's not entirely your fault. Excel has pone of the funkiest dictionaries around - I think they forgot to read the AppleScript Implementor's guide and instead tried to bolt VB on instead.
Anyway, I digress...
I'm not sure what you expect this line to do:
set fileSaveName to get save as file format CSV file format filename
but it's completely invalid. For one, save as is a command verb, not a function, so you cannot get save as.
If you read the dictionary for Excel's save as command you'll find:
save as sheet ¬
filename unicode text ¬
file format as ¬
password unicode text ¬
write reservation password unicode text ¬
read only recommended boolean ¬
create backup boolean ¬
add to most recently used list boolean ¬
overwrite boolean ¬
save as local language boolean
so the first, required, parameter is the sheet to save followed by any number of the optional parameters. Given the above, I'd expect your script to look more like:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
save as worksheet "worksheet1" file format CSV file format filename "whatever.csv"
end tell
which is completely bass-ackwards, if you ask me, but that's how it goes.

How to save files (example:csv) from the different subVI to the same folder of main VI?

I don't understand the problem. You write in the program where to save files, and it saves them there. Do you mean something else?

How to save an excel file as CSV with semi-colon as data separator?

We are creating a flat data file to load the flat file data to our BW system with Excel. When we save the file, there are three kinds of CSV types for selecting from the "Save as type" list box:
CSV (Comma delimited)
CSV (Macintosh)
CSV (MS-DOS)
There is no CSV (semi colon delimited) type. If we pick CSV (Comma delimted) as the type, then when clicking the "Preview ..." picture icon under the "DataSource/Trans. Structure" tab of the InfoSource for this flat file (with the CSV radio button checked the Data separator default is ";"), the File Upload Preview window shows the data is messed up that some columns of the excel flat file are combined into one column.
Since the save type we picked is "CSV (Comma delimited)", then we try to change the default Data separator from ";" to "," in the preview selection screen, but still not helpful!
How to resolve the above problem?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
This "," is defined in your windows setting. If you want to have ";" as separator then go to control Panel, select Regional Options, go to Numbers Tab and define the List separator as ";". After that when you will save your excel file as CSV(MS-DOS) it will have ";" as separator. This will make sure that the amounts are not broken in to two different fields while loading.
Else if you keep "," as separator then you can also go into the Excel and define all number fields as Number without thousand separator.
Let me know if you have any doubts in this.
Regards,
Rohit

File/Hadoop CSV input : Discovery of file fails

Hello ,
I'm trying to make the project as described in -
"Hands-on Tutorial: Building a Simple SAP Sybase ESP Project" for SAP Sybase ESP version 5.1 SP04.
I create a project where I add an input adapter of type - File/Hadoop CSV input.
Then in edit properties I enter the directory and the file name . In advanced tab I also set Has Header = TRUE.
Then I click on Schema Discovery and this raises error - "Failed to parse discovery file : parse of file failed ".
I've imported the sample "towermon "project from SCN and this shows the same error !
I've done this before on SP02 and it used to work . Of course the File/Hadoop CSV input adapter did not exist in that release.
Can't quiet figure out what I'm doing wrong . Is this a bug in the software ?Any ideas how to fix this ?
Best regards,
Saty

Hello,
Two things to check:
1) I don't know which file you are using from the "towermon" project. One of the CSV files (input-streams.csv) prepends the stream name and opcode:
isSensorStream,i,2011-06-30T17:00:00.000,32.835,-114.188,Tower,Yuma T70,1,104,0
The other CSV files do not. So you will have to toggle the "csvExpectStreamNameOpcode" parameter to true/false (the default is true).
2) There is a bug in the adapter discovery mechanism where it will return the error Failed to parse discovery file : parse of file failed ":
749503 - Schema discovery does not work for toolkit adapters when unnecessary properties are listed on the adapter.
So for example, in text authoring mode, if you have this:
ATTACH INPUT ADAPTER File_Hadoop_CSV_Input1 TYPE toolkit_file_csv_input PROPERTIES
csvExpectStreamNameOpcode = TRUE ,
dir = 'c:/temp' ,
file = 'input-streams.csv' ,
dynamicMode = '' ,
removeAfterProcess = FALSE ,
csvDelimiter = '' ,
csvDateFormat = '' ,
csvTimestampFormat = '' ,
csvHasHeader = FALSE ,
pollingPeriod = 0 ,
scanDepth = 0 ;
You have to delete the unnecessary properties:
ATTACH INPUT ADAPTER File_Hadoop_CSV_Input1 TYPE toolkit_file_csv_input PROPERTIES
csvExpectStreamNameOpcode = TRUE ,
dir = 'c:/temp' ,
file = 'input-streams.csv' ;
Then switch back to visual authoring mode and try discovery again.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Neal

When to export a numbers file to csv the minus signs don't work with R

Friends,
I have trouble getting the statistic program R to read my exported CSV-files from Numbers.
The minus sign doesn't work, R reads it as a factoric input rather than numeric.
Does anyone have a tip how to reformat this?
Jocke

Wayne, actually, I'm not sure but I think that factoric - or factorial is the denomination that R uses to say that somthing is rather a text than a numeric number - I'm pretty new to R.
But, anyway, we solved the problem but in a lillte bit of an awkward way.
The problem is that the minus sugns in numbers is percieved as dashes in R
(http://www.R-project.org, a free-ware statistical analysis program)
So where there is a numeric input with a minus sign R thinks it is a letter rather than a number.
We solved it by exporting the numbers file to CSV, opened it in text editor, copied the suspisios minus sign and pasted it into the search field to find all dashes/minus sign that didn't work and replaced them with a minus sign. After this operation, nothing different could be seen in the text but R saw the difference.
So this makes it difficult to explain by posting a screenshot - it looks the same but it isn't.
The funny thing is that the dashes that numbers use when to express a date are percieved as minus signs by R.
Can anyone understand what I tried to explain? And if so, is there a simpler way to do this? We have a lot of minus signs to export to R.....
best regard

Converting html file to csv file or excel file

Any body help me to convert html file into csv file or excel file using java.
I have no idea how to proceed.
is there any third party API's available.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance

Could it be that you're really interested in extracting specific values from the html file and then you want to export these values to csv and/or excel?

Converting flat files to csv format

thanks
Ratheesh

YOGenereally, you shouldn't convert from a lossy format AAC or MP3) to another lossy fomrat.
It's called loss because you lose information when you convert it.
If you only use these files on the computer and the iPod, I'd recommend AAC. Better quality at same bit rate as MP3.

Saving the output of a .sql file in .csv format

Hi,
I am saving the output of a .sql file in .csv format. But the problem is , the record of few columns have "new line" character in it, so when it is getting saved in .csv format, those records are coming in multiple rows, but they should come in one single row in single block. Please advise how to overcome this problem.
Regards,
Niraj

Hi Guys,
I guess, there is a misunderstanding.
He is talking about the issue caused as a result of the data containing a "CRLF" ( Carriage return Line feed ) .
That is mainly a data issue.
The query i presume, must be right.
I guess you should be able to fix it using some string functions.
Some thing similar to this
CREATE TABLE ASH (NAME VARCHAR2(10))
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(13)||CHR(10), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(10), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(13), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
depending on the type of new line whether it is CR or LF. or CRLF.

Retrieve online file as CSV via HTTPS using PL/SQL procedure

Hi all,
Situation:
Server A (not ORACLE)_: accesed via URL, generates dynamically a CSV file and returns to the requestor.
Server B (ORACLE)_: which runs the PL/SQL script. It is the requestor. Read the CSV and store it within ORACLE.
(1) I want to connect from Server B (ORACLE) to an external URL via HTTPS which generates dynamically the CSV file. Subdomain.domain it is the Server A which contains this CSV file.
https://dubdomain.domain/csv_generator.php?query=q1
(2) This file is downloaded to the Server B (ORACLE). A PL/SQL script executed in this machine do the task.
(3) After that, I load this CSV to an ORACLE table which a common CSV PL/SQL parser.
Doubts:
Is it possible to retrieve an online file (a CSV) dynamically created and hosted in a third party server (Not ORACLE) via HTTPS using a PL/SQL procedure executed in a ORACLE server? If the answer is yes, what technology could I use? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Yago

An CSV example in {message:id=10158148}.
For https, two actions are needed in addition.
Firstly, the certificate of the https web server needs to be loaded in an Oracle Wallet on your database server. The wallet will have a specific directory location on the server, and will be protected by a password.
Secondly, the PL/SQL procedure making web call, needs to open the wallet (using <i>UTL_HTTP.set_wallet</i>) using the location and password. Example of that in {message:id=10820182}.
