Function upload text file or from clipboard in Bex with BI 70

Will it be possbile to use the function to upload data in from a text file or from clipboard with BI 70?
With older BW versions it was possible to fill a variable with lists.
Can someone help where I can find information about this issue?
Best Regards, Tina

Upload text files with non-english characters

I use an Apex page to upload text files. Then i retrieve the contents of files from wwv_flow_files.blob_content and convert them to varchar2 with utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2, but characters like ò, à, ù become garbage.
What could be the problem? Are characters lost when files are stored in wwv_flow_files or when i do the conversion?
Some other info:
* I see wwv_flow_files.DAD_CHARSET is set to "ascii", wwv_flow_files.FILE_CHARSET is null.
* Trying utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( utl_raw.cast_to_raw('àòèù') ) returns 'àòèù' correctly;
* NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter is AL32UTF8 (not just english ASCII)

Hi
Have a look at csv upload -- suggestion needed with non-English character in csv file it might help you.
Thanks,
Manish

Uploaded text file has a new line added at the top using BSP MVC applicatio

I have a BSP MVC application that uploads data on to the application server. When I open the uploaded text file, the very first line on the file looks like the line below. ->

Upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation

Hi Friends,
I am new to ODI. I have encountered a problem which is specific to ODI 11G (11.1.1.6.3) to upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation. Would you please teach me how to implement the following requirement in ODI 11G?
Input text file a:
staffCode, staffCat, status, data
input text file b:
staffCodeStart, staffCodeEnd, staffCat
temp output oracle table c:
staffCat, data
output oracle table d:
staffCat, data
order:
a.staffCode, a.staffCat, a.status
filter:
a.status = ‘active’
join:
a left outerjoin b on a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
insert temp table c:
c.staffCat = if b.staffCat is not null then b.staffCat else a.staffCat
c.data = a.data
insert table d:
if c.staffCat between 99 and 1000 then d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = sum(c.data)
else d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = LAST(c.data)
Any help on fixing this is highly appreciated. Thanks!!
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Santy,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. May I have more information about the LAST or SUM step?
I was successful to create and run the following interfaces p and q
1. Drag text file a to a newly created interface panel p
2. Filter text file a : a.status = ‘active’
3. Lookup text file a to text file b : a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
4. Drag oracle temp table c to interface panel p
5. Set c.staffCat : CASE WHEN b.staffCat IS NULL THEN a.staffCat ELSE b.staffCat END
6. Set c.data : a.data
7. Drag oracle temp table c to a newly created interface panel q
8. Drag oracle table d to interface panel q
9. Set UK to d.staffCat
10. Set Distinct Rows to table d
11. Set d.staffCat = c.staffCat
12. Set d.data = SUM(c.data)
However, the interface q should be more than that:
If c.staffCat is between 99 and 1000, then d.data = the last record c.data; else d.data = sum(c.data)
Would you please teach me how to do the LAST or SUM steps? Moreover, can interface p and interface q be combined to one interface and do not use the temp table c? Millions thanks!

Chris

Upload/Download file to/from a document library in a SharePoint online site

Hi,
I am referring to the below blog for Upload/Download file to/from a document library in a SharePoint online site.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rohitpuri/archive/2007/04/10/upload-download-file-to-from-wss-document-library-using-dav.aspx?CommentPosted=true#commentmessage
I would like to know if this is feasible with a SharePoint online site.
If feasible, how can I resolve the below exception I am getting while using the code.
“The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden”.
Thanks,
Thanan

Hi,
Actually what I am trying to achieve is the two things.
1) By using only the user's name, need to upload/download from/to the document library of SharePoint online site using the CSOM. (i.e., achieving Single Sign On / Windows Authentication)
2) I need to achieve the above only by passing the document URL; not by hardcording/ configuring the document library name in the windows application.
Can anyone pls help on this now?
[Below code is working fine. But need to arrive the solution whereas the above 2 conditions are not violated.
using (var clientContext
= new ClientContext("https://yoursiteurl.com"))
           string passWd
= "password";
           SecureString securePassWd
= new SecureString();
           foreach
(var c in passWd.ToCharArray())
                securePassWd.AppendChar(c);
            clientContext.Credentials
= new SharePointOnlineCredentials("username", securePassWd);
           using
(var fs =
new FileStream("fileName",
FileMode.Open))
var fi =
new FileInfo("fileName");
var list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Doc Library");
               clientContext.Load(list.RootFolder);

Open text files & save as worksheets in excel with Automator?

hi,
i'm an Automator newbie and i'll admit upfront i don't know apple script. i have a bunch of text files that i'd like to open in excel. the basic actions would be to tell excel to look for 'all documents' and to open as space delimited. then i want to save the files as excel spreadsheets rather than txt files.
i assume i need to use some combination of applescript and automator to do this, but i don't even know where to start. it seems this is something simple someone might have already written a script/action for. is there a repository of such things anywhere? if not, does anyone want to help me through the process of creating such an action?
thanks,

jill,
Here is a solution.
Create an Automator workflow with the following actions:
1) Get Specified Finder Items (specify the folder containing your space delimited text files)
2) Get Folder Contents
3) Run AppleScript (delete all of the text in the action, click on the link below which will put the AppleScript into Script Editor, select the whole thing, copy it to the Clipboard, paste it into the action)
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">on run {input, parameters}
repeat with aTextFile in input
set theTextFilePath to aTextFile as string
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
open text file filename theTextFilePath data type delimited with space
set theWorkbook to last workbook
set thePath to path of last workbook
set theOriginalWorkbookName to name of last workbook
set theNewWorkbookName to ((characters 1 through -5 of theOriginalWorkbookName) as string) & ".xls"
set theNewFilePath to thePath & ":" & theNewWorkbookName
save workbook as theWorkbook filename theNewFilePath file format workbook normal file format
close theWorkbook saving no
end tell
end repeat
return input
end run</pre>
I am assuming that the text files are the only files in the folder. If they are not then some further filtering will be required likely through inserting a Filter Finder Items action after step 2).

How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different. You need to get the apps in sync. Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating). Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

Upload text file from PC to table control

Hi Experts,
I realize that this question was posted many times in SDN, but I am not able to find a clear answer. I have uploaded the file into internal table using GUI_UPLOAD function module (PAI module - MODULE UPLOAD_FROM_PC - I have created a push button using screen painter and included the logic based of fcode). Now, I want to append this internal table to the internal table linked to the table control. But I am not able to find the internal table which is linked to the table control. The EXTRACT is not an internal table. So, could you tell me how I could accomplish this logic.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE LISTE_INITIALISIEREN.
LOOP AT EXTRACT WITH CONTROL TCTRL_ZKK_EXAMPLE1 CURSOR NEXTLINE.
    MODULE LISTE_SHOW_LISTE.
ENDLOOP.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE LISTE_EXIT_COMMAND AT EXIT-COMMAND.
MODULE LISTE_BEFORE_LOOP.
LOOP AT EXTRACT.
    MODULE LISTE_INIT_WORKAREA.
    CHAIN.
      FIELD ZKK_EXAMPLE1-ANLKL .
      MODULE SET_UPDATE_FLAG ON CHAIN-REQUEST.

No Authorization To Upload Text file for a Variable

Hi Experts,
I am trying to upload a text file from Multiple Selection screen of a Query in Business Explorer and it gives the error message of 'No Upload Authorization'

An idea about this error, PLEASE ?
Many Thanks in Advance.

Hi Panagiotis,
Have a look into the Portal Desktop link below.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ac/dc4f3eeb684212e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
Somewhere mid section, you will find Portal Favourites (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/3a/d609e5803111d5992f00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm).
Make sure that Knowledge Management is installed on your system and that you have activated the Add to Portal Favorites property (this entry is displayed in the options menu of your page title bar).
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/84/a30a48887d4cb690b4f1754f651ba1/frameset.htm
If all above if set, then checkout the needed activities within the Portal Favourite iview setting.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/1e/62eae2357c4596bda2476d0a6503e3/frameset.htm
Checkout on both the page title bar Options menu and the context menu of the Detailed Navigation iView display an Add to Portal Favorites item, allowing users to store links to favorites (thats where I believe your missing permission).
The Portal Favorites iView is part of the Knowledge Management installation and is integrated into the portal. Thus if the above steps are done and the settings activated, then your standard user should not see error in the Portal Favourites with the role that you have already assigned to the user.
Also look into Standard User (eu_role), which basic functionality (portal personalization iViews) for the core portal platform and default content for the Knowledge Management and Collaboration capabilities of SAP NetWeaver. By default, the Everyone group in the portal is assigned to this role.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/47/f0f7415e639c39e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Hope that helps.

How to upload/download file to/from server using FiledownloadUI ?

Hi experts,
I don't have much experience of WDABAP. I have to upload a file to server and then download it again. I have implemented this functionality but I am unable to view contents of .xls/.doc/.docx/.msg file only txt file contents are properly visible. I have used following command to upload the file:-
OPEN DATASET fname FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
I had also tried this but it is throwing exception that it can be used only for character type data.
OPEN DATASET fname FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8 WITH SMART LINEFEED.
Thanks in advance.
Problem Solved!

Webutil - issue with uploading text files with client_get_file_name

Hi,
I'm using webutil client_get_file_name to upload files from the client machine to the server.
It works fine for xls,pdf,doc files etc. but not for txt files it seems.
It doesn't display any error at all either.
Has anyone seen this type of issue before?
Kind regards,
Tom

Hi Sarah et al,
The code that I'm using to upload any file type format is:
vfilename := client_get_file_name('c:\',file_filter => 'All files (*.*)');
it works for doc/pdf/xls/rtf/csv etc.
but not for text files i.e. .txt
Also, could someone tell me how to open a .msg (Outlook message) file
as it gives the output:
'Cannot read item' upon the opening of the Outlook application.
I'm using the following to try and open it:
CLIENT_HOST( 'cmd /C start '||p_filename);
Your help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tom

Error - Server file should not be empty- while uploading Text files in RAR

Hi,
We are uploading SU24 text files but we are getting the error "Server file should not be empty" while uploading the Description files in RAR 5.3
We followed the same naming covention and also used UTF-8 format for the text files. We placed the file in our Desktop as well and tried uploading into RAR - but still the same error is being thrown?
Are we missing something here?
Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi and thanks to the answers so far.
I forgot to mention some points :
- I'm using forground import
- we are trying to use RAR to run risk analysis on non-sap systems as well as SAP (single or cross-systems).
So the file I'm trying to upload does not come from a SAP backen, but was created from scratch.
However the data in the files are coherent (and I compared with a SAP extraction, the format is the same)
here is a sample of the file I try to upload : (an that is actually what I'm trying to import as a test file)
sap_auth.txt:
OEITIAC     GTIAC     SEL     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     MOD     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     INS     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     SUP     1
each element (ACT/PRM/FLD/VAL) is defined in the sap_desc.txt file that I loaded first (without error).
note that each column is separated by a single TAB (with an empty column at the end of each line).
each line is terminated by a CR/LF
I tried UTF-8 with and W/O BOM
Regards,
