FND function to create .csv data file on client machine?

Hello All,
I am trying to create a concurrent request which when run by the user's creates a .csv file with data. I created a procedure in the database which run's when they run the conc.request.
However is there any FND function or anyother function available that creates the data file on the client machine (either in their 'C:\') or in a share drive etc?
Currently through the procedure, I am able to write the .csv data file to a unix directory to which users do not have access.
Thanks,
Chiru

Chiru,
Several options for you to consider are :
1. If you want to have the csv on client machine: Make the program to create the csv in server with a constant name, eg : test.csv and create a dos command in client's machine that is could FTP to server, rename the existing csv file in client's machine and get test.csv from server.
2. If you want to do in share drive : As long as the share drive exists in PC that can be used for FTP, you can create unix host script that can FTP the file to the windows server. For instance, create a generic unix host script that accepts parameter such as filename, and server destination, destination folder, unix login ,password, etc. This program will run in a request set after your concurrent program. If you search google I'm sure you will find samples of unix script that does this kind of thing.
3. As per what Kevin said ,another options is to send the csv file using email to the recipients.

Reading Large data files from client machine ( urgent)

Hi,
I want to know the best way for reading large data at about 75MB file from client machine and insert to the database.
Can anybody provide sample code for it.
Loading the file should be done at client machine and inserting into the database should be done at server side.
How should i load the file?
How should i transfer this file or data to server ?
How should i insert into the database ?
Thanks in advance.
regards
Kalyan

Like I said before you should be using your application server to serve files >from the server off the filesystem. The database should not store files this big >and should instead just have a reference to this file. I think u have not understood the problem corectly.
I will make it clear.
The requirement is as follows.
This is a j2ee based application.
Application server is oracle application server.
Database is oracle9i
it is thick client (swing based application)
User enters datasource like c:\turkey.data
This turkey.data file contains data
1@1@20050131@1@4306286000113@D00@32000002005511069941@@P@10@0@1@0@0@0@DK@70059420@4330654016574@1@51881100@51881100@@99@D@40235@0@0@1@430441800000000@@11@D@42389@20050201@28483@15@@@[email protected]@@20050208@20050307@0@@@@@@@@@0@@0@0@0@430443400000800@0@0@@0@@@29@0@@@EUR
like wise we may have more than 3 lacs rows in it.
We need to read this file and transfer this to the application server. Which are EJBS.
There we read this file each row in file is one row in the database for a table.
Like wise we need to insert 3 lacs records in the database.
We can use Jdbc to insert the data which is not a problem.
Only problem is how to transfer this data to server.
I can do it in one way. This is only a example
I can read all the data in StringBuffer and pass to server.
There again i get the data from StringBuffer and insert into database using jdbc.
This way if u do it. It is performance issue and takes long time to insert into the database.It even may give MemoryOutofBond exception.
just iam looking for the better way of doing this which may get good performace issue.
Hope u have understood the problem.

How to create a Log file on Client machine

I seem it is occuring because of WebUtil and I am using Oracle SQL Developer on my machine.
Is there any way to create log file on local machine.Can anyone help me out, Since three day I am struging to get out from this.

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

Hi,
I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
Thank you.
Regards

Brian,
Thanks much.
I did exactly what you said.
Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
but I got an error saying report not found.
Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
It ended up generating the report.
Now here is what I think is happening,
1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
a) file -> Report Options
b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
Here is my plan,
1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#

Hi,
I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
Thank you in advance.

Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
"I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

How do I create a data file of my library

I would like to create a data file that will list artist/album for my iTunes library. I would like to put this on my iPod so that I know exactly which albums I have so I do not buy duplicates when I am out rummaging at used record stores. How do I go about doing this besides typing the whole thing in Appleworks?

Creating such a list as pdf file is quite easy:
In iTunes select your Library
File - Print: Album Listing/List of albums
Print - Save as PDF
If in need of any conversion: copy all entries from that pdf and paste it to whatever application you want.

SQL Loader - CSV Data file with carraige returns and line fields

Hi,
I have a CSV data file with occasional carraige returns and line feeds in between, which throws my SQL loader script off. Sql loader, takes the characters following the carraige return as a new record and gives me error. Is there a way I could handle carraige returns and linefeeds in SQL Loader.
Please help. Thank you for your time.
This is my Sql Loader script.
load data
infile 'D:\Documents and Settings\user1\My Documents\infile.csv' "str '\r\n'"
append
into table MYSCHEMA.TABLE1
fields terminated by ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
trailing nullcols
( NAME CHAR(4000),
field2 FILLER,
field3 FILLER,
TEST DEPT CHAR(4000)
)

You can "regexp_replace" the columns for special characters

Creation of CSV file on client machine with data from forms

Hi,
My requirement is to generate a CSV file(or .XLS) on the client machine ie local drive with the details shown in a form.
Oracle version -
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.7.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production.
I have searched the web for last couple of days and got to know that TEXT_IO is to be used to generate files on client machine. However, when I tried TEXT_IO, it was not able to generate the file on client rather it was able to generate on database server. After further browsing on this, there was a link which said that we need to use CLIENT_TEXT_IO to generate file on client side. For this, i was required to subclass the webutil.pll which i did and corrected the code to use CLIENT_TEXT_IO. The form was unable to compile and was not able to find "webutil_core" package.
I am very confused with the disparity in the information available on the web as in what to use to generate a file on client side. If anyone has use it in the past, can he/she please detail what to use to get things sorted.
Thanks,
R

So, what is your FORMS version. This is more important than your database version.
My requirement is to generate a CSV file(or .XLS) on the client machine ie local drive with the details shown in a form. Depending on your Forms version, you would use TEXT_IO (if Forms 6i running in Client/Server mode) or WebUtil (if Forms 9i or higher).
I'm going to guess that you are at least using Oracle Forms 9i since you stated that your attempt at using TEXT_IO produced a file on the DB server.
There is more to using WebUtil than just attaching the WEBUTIL.PLL. If you had performed a simple search of the Forms Help System would have found numerous WebUtil topics to include: Introduction to WebUtil, Configuring WebUtil, Using WebUtil in Your Applications and the WebUtil User's Guide. If you have Oracle Forms release 10g or higher, WebUtil is included when you installed Forms, however, you do need to configure your installation to use WebUtil and you must download the Java COM Bridge (jacob.jar) from Source Forge. Take a look at the Configuring WebUtil Forms Help topic to find out which version of the Java COM Bridge you will need to download.
After you have successfully configured WebUtil, take a look at the Using WebUtil in Your Applications topic to find out how to implement WebUtil in a form.
Searching the Internet for answers is great, but don't forget the look at the Forms Help System because the majority of your questions can be answered there. :)
Lastly, configuration of WebUtil is primarily done on your Application Server (AS). However, if you plan to perform preliminary runtime testing by running your Form from the Forms Builder, then you will configure your local runtime to support WebUtil as well as configure your AS. The steps are exactly the same. A common mis-step is to skip a step during the configuration because you don't think the step applies. Take a look at the Forms Help Runtime Setup Checklist topic for a list of step you need to complete in order to enable WebUtil.
Hope this helps,

Merging randomly-named XML data file on client-side with pdf designed in Livecycle 7.0 (and addition

Okay, as a heads up I work for a financial institution and we are converting our legacy "jetforms" to pdf format. I have in my staff for the project, 2 code developers and myself- a form designer. We have currently spent 2 months in trial and error attempting to resolve this problem, please let us know anything you can have. All client-side (internal) machines are running Windows XP and Adobe Reader 7.0.7
The software we use as a financial institution allows our users to export a customer's data file onto their machine which is then renamed to include the member's account number and first and last name for our staff to determine which data file they need more accurately. In legacy jetforms, we have developed a program that pushes the data from the customers file that they select, into the jetform that they want to open and the matching fields in the data file fill in the fields of the jetform. Clean and simple.
Now, i have hit nothing but frustration when attempting to perform the same process with pdfs using a form designed in livecycle designer 7. First, i see no obvious command for opening a pdf and importing a data file using a command line, like pdfmerge or something of the sort in which an xml data file can be specified and a pdf can be specified. I saw something like it using an fdf format and attempted to do this but apparently reader cannot import the data into the pdf that was designed adobe livecycle 7. All i have been seeing is database connections and using javascript inside the form to populate fields based on these database connections, etc. etc. or doing a manual file>import data>etc. which we don't want to have our staff do. We do not have reader extensions enabled, simply because i cannot get an adobe representative to call me and discuss pricing nor see any estimated pricing chart around. I don't know if reader extensions are necessary for this or not but i'm becoming very very frustrated with it.
We don't want a complex server-side data connection binding with dynamic input. No, we just want it where our developers can say "if this data file is selected, and this pdf form is selected run this command" which would be a simple pdfmerge type solution. Is this possible or do i need to stay with jetforms until our software the billion dollar financial institution uses does form building inside its own application? I don't want to fight about who is better, what version to use, etc. I just want the straight up honest truth. If you need to know the pricing that the reader extensions would have to go by, assume there will be 500 client computers that will need to use it.

From your post it sounds like you are Central Pro (a product for which I am by no means an expert), but you say you want to upgrade to a newer product from your "legacy" one. Is there a reason for this? Have your requirements change so that it no longer fits them? Central is still in the current Adobe roster and as far as I know there is no plans to get rid of it any time soon, so if it does everything you want I don't see why you would want to change.
There is no product in the LiveCycle suite that merges xml data into a form from the command line. LiveCycle (with the exception of Designer) is a suite of server products, so the closest you would come is LiveCycle Forms (merge the xml and create a fillable PDF) or LiveCycle Print (merge the xml and print the form).
Hope this helps somewhat.

I tried
V_Cpy_Result := Webutil_File.Copy_File ('C:\File_Name.Xml', '/u01/oradata/odsuat/ssr_xml_dir/Outbound/File_Name.Xml');
but this does't work, please provide me with the way or the command that I can copy the selected file from client to Unix DB server...

Save file on client machine on the web.....

Hi,
I have a Form Application C/S 6i where I create a file using Get_File_Name, TEXT_IO.fopen .... etc. This application it's OK. The problem is when I load the application on AIS9i. The application don't load never. I must create and save a file on client machine when I use application on the web. What Can I do? Is This operation possible without radical change of the code source?
Thanks

Erik,
actually this project is under the leadership of the same author that created d2kwutil. It is too early to tell what exactly will be in this package and most likely we will release things step by step as they finish. However, you canuse this thread for a wishlist of functionality and I will pass it to the project lead. The implementation will be both POL/SQL and Java (as Java is the only way for us to access the client side in teh Web). The project target is sometime mid of next year. As said, the project hasn't really started yet so it is too early to speculate on what will make it in and when this will be delivered.

Blob processing varies between databases; see also examples for whatever database you are using, e.g.

If you are storing text data instead of binary data, replace "blob" by "clob" in the searches.
