Generate and send Excel format file by mail in bakground.

Hi fellows, i have a requirement, which is to generate an excel file in background and send it attached by e-mail. This file have many characteristics like Freeze pane, Auto filters, and some other format characteristics, One of the ways for achieving this kind of characteristics is using OLE or Desktop Office Integration, but both run in foreground. Other way i found is formatting the excel using XML and then at the moment of sending it by mail, changing extension for xls, but the problem is that it occupies too much space, i imagine cause it is raw xml, for example for a file for 1,000 records and 14 columns generates a file of 1.6Mb which is not like generating the same file using OLE or DOI (24Kb).
I would like to know if there is a way to use an excel component or another way that takes less space for generating the file with format and also send it by e-mail in background??
Thanks.
Noe.

is 1.6 MB the smallest size you can generate, did you remove every optional tag?
XLSX format is a compressed XML format valid since office 2007. Maybe you can try to generate it? (I don't exactly know which ZIP algorithm it requires, SAP can compress using the ZLIB Compression Library)
You may also attach a Windows server to SAP via RFC. You should create an RFC server. You may have a look at this [sdn article - Communication to Presentation Server in Background Mode|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/9831750a-0801-0010-1d9e-f8c64efb2bd2] for some clues about running an RFC server. I guess you could use a VB script on the server.
For sending emails, this is a separate question, you may have a look at wiki: sending mails - home page.

Generate and display excel file

Hi guys,
Is there a way to generate and display excel file in sapgui without the need of downloading the excel file to local directory first?
I found the following 2 ways of doing it, but both require me to download the generated xls file to local directory:
#1 way:
1. Generate the xls file using GUI_DOWNLOAD with the filename = 'c:\test.xls'.
2. Call fm SAP_STARTS_EXCEL and pass in the parameter i_filename = 'c:\test.xls'
#2 way:
1. Generate the xls file using GUI_DOWNLOAD with the filename = 'c:\test.xls'.
2. Upload it back using the below so that i can get it in xstring format.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
     exporting
       filetype = 'BIN'
       filename = 'C:\test.xls'
     tables
       data_tab = itab.
3. Then pass it to the cl_gui_html_viewer to display it.
call method html_control->load_data
    exporting
      url          = 'test.xls'
      type         = 'application'
      subtype      = 'vnd.ms-excel'
    importing
      assigned_url = l_url
    changing
      data_table   = l_pdf_data
    exceptions
      others = 1.
I prefer the #2 way as my program will get wrapped thru ITS server, and it seems the #1 way will not work. So is there any way i can get the excel file to be generated in xstring format so that i can pass to cl_gui_html_viewer straight away to display without having to save to local directory first?
Any other suggestion apart from the above 2 ways are welcome as well.
Thanks guys.

Converting OTF to EXCEL or PDF to ECXEL and sending Excel through mail

Hi ,
I need a solution for Converting OTF into EXCEL or PDF into ECXEL and sending Excel as a attachment to the mail.
In my current Program I am getting OTF data from script and converting into PDF using Function module ' CONVERT_OTF'
And sending PDF as a mail attachment using Function module 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' it is working fine but
My current requirement is I need to send Excel as a mail attachment instead of PDF.
Hope it is clear for you, please give me solutions with sample code..

Hi!
Because OTF is not a grid, like Excel, and PDF can also contain anything, I think it is not possible to convert an OTF, or PDF into an excel spreadsheet.
You can convert an ALV into excel and send it via email.

Generate and disaply excel file as iview in ep6?

Hello, everybody.
I built a iView in EP5 that can generate and display excel file on the run-time. I used contecttype in httpservletresponse to set the content type to excel so the browser will see the data as excel.
But it looks like the setcontenttype for httpservletresponse does not work anymore in EP6, does anybody know how to make the broswer "sees" the data as an excel file in EP6?
I am using EP6 SP9

Hi Gary,
you definitely can set the content type if you call an AbstractPortalComponent and set all things within method doOnNodeReady (search for both terms on SDN forums, you'll find a heap of hints).
In addition, I don't know if you create "real" Excel data or use the html trick. If you don't know the latter, see Export Portal data to Excel
Hope it helps

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Code generate report in excel format from portal(Application Server)

Hi all
Please give some solution with code generate report in excel format from
oracle portal(Application Server).

Not feasible.
Why? Because "the Excel format" is a binary and proprietary Microsoft file format. And writing a generator to generate Excel files will be complex, and resource expensive. In the vast majority of cases this will not be justified.
As an alternative the very basic Microsoft XML office format can be used. But note that this is not a a ISO standard (it has been shot down in flames) - and effort and resources for that would be better spend on the Open Document XML standard (which very likely will be ratified as the ISO standard instead).
Of course, you could have meant a CSV file - in which case, you need to play close attention to details. CSV is not an Excel format. A software designers and developers, our success is determined by attention to technical detail. In which case you are not paying any attention to technical detail by confusing CSV with Excel.

Create an Excel format file in background w/DATASET Cmds?

I have heard that you can create a file into an excel format file in background mode using dataset commands - anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

Hi Stephen,
Use Open dataset, Transfer, Close dataset to create file on Application server.
Use FM Z_CONV_ITAB_TO_TAB_DELIMITED to convert your lines in TAB delimited format. you can download file from your application server to presentation server using T Code CG3Y and give extension as .xls ...
As you data is Tab delimited it will automatically get formatted in columns in your EXCEL file.

I take a picture and send it in an e-mail. When I open the icture in OUtlook it is rotated 90 degrees. Why?

When i take picture with my iPgone and send it in an e-mail, the picture isrotated 90 degrees when I open it in Outlook. If i hold the camera sidewise, the same thing happens. What causes this?

Because Windows and Outlook are ignoring the orientation information stored in the metadata for the photo.

How to calculate averages and send to a file?(source code)

Having trouble the book isn't very clear on how to use averages.............could some give me an example of a program..................that gets averages and send to a file..........?

From Deitel and Deitels monster 'How to Program' :
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Average {
public static void main ( String args[] )
int total, gradeCounter, gradeValue, average;
Swing grade;
total = 0;
gradeCounter = 1;
while ( gradeCounter <= 10 ) { //assuming 10 values
grade = JOption.showInputDialog ( "Enter grade: " ) ;
gradeValue = Integer.parseInt ( grade );
total += gradeValue;
gradeCounter = gradeCounter + 1;
average = total / 10;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (
null, "Class Average is" + average, "Class Average",
JOptionPane.INFORMATIOIN_MESSAGE );
System.exit ( 0 );
Import package java.io
Three stream objects are created when you execute , System.in, System.out, System.err
System.out can be directed to send it's output to a file or disk.

How to calculates averages and send to a file?(source code)

how to calculates averages and send to a file?(source code) I need to get started but I don't know where to begin...........the book I have doesn't really say how to handle averages and send to a file.................anybody got suggestions on how to get started? I am a newbie so place in layman's terms.............thanx

To calculate an average: add all of the numbers together and divide by how many numbers you added together.
ex: (1 + 2 + 3 + 10)/4 = 4 (4 is the average)
As for writing them to a file, look over the API for random or sequential access files.

Generate and Send WMTOID02 (WMTORD) Idoc to MII

Hi
Like we have POIT transaction in SAP ERP to genereate and Send Idocs Process or production orders ( LOIPRO01) to a RFC listner, is there a similar transaction to generate and send Idocs for WMTORD (WMTOID2) idocs?
I understand that the authomatic way is to have a change pointer progame but i want to test the idoc before we write a changepointer ABAP program.
Regards
Suraj

Hi Mike,
THanks for your responce , below are my answers to your questions....
If I understand you correctly, you are looking for the ECC t-code for generating the WMTORD IDoc, right?
Right
And you probably don't care whether it needs to be processed by either a RFC Listener or an IDoc Listener when it gets to MII?
I would receive it in an IDoc listner and then process using BLS transaction attached to a Processing rule in the message services.
In general, you send IDocs to an IDoc listener MII, but you may also do something along the lines of sending a control recipe (t-code CO53) to an RFC Listener in MII.
I would want to send IDocs to an IDoc listener MII. Similar to the LOIPRO01 example (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a02bc7[[PDF] How to Send an IDoc from SAP ECC to the SAP MII IDoc Listener|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a02bc706-15f2-2c10-1aab-a1927ada11f0?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] for production orders
Do you have a t-code or codes you can provide for related activity? Also is this for WM or for EWM?
LT01 and LT10 are the Tcode to create the Transfer orders. This is for WM.

Suraj

How can I generate and/or retrieve log files from iPad

How can I generate and/or retrieve log files from iPad?
OBS!
There are NO files apearing in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<name of iPad> so where else can i find it?
I want to force it to produce a log, or find it within the iPad.
It is needed for support of an app.

Not sure on porting out the log data, but you can find it under General->About->Diagnostic&Usage->Diagnostic&Usage Data. It will give you a list of your log data, and you can get additional details by selecting the applicable log you are looking for. Hope this helps.

Tidal Oracle DB Adapter: Can we out the CSV format as a CSV file and send it out in a mail?

I am trying to run a Select query from Oracle DB job in Tidal. The results of this query can be output-ed in a CSV format. But, the requirement is for me to send out a CSV file, not just data in CSV format.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a jpeg movie file 60 mins long and a text file tell me five time-lines for breaking the movie. For example, break the movie at 10:21, 16:05�
The final output should be five small jpeg movie files. Each file contains a 90 sec (30 sec before the break time and 60 sec after the break time).
Do you know any java library (jar) contain the library that can help me on programming this? Any existing source code? Any SDK for a movie editor can do that?
Please help.
Thanks

Generate report in excel format

Hello all,
I´m trying to produce an excel report with oracle reports. I have three different queries:
- one that returns columns name of the report.
- one that returns rows of the report.
- and one that returns the results.
But when i generate the report, using desformat=delimited or spreadsheet, this three queries appears in three different places, one below other in spreadsheet.
When i generate a pdf report, this queries looks fine, and appear in the place that i want.
I´m using oracle 10g version. Can anyone tell me how can i put this three queries like a grid, so results are aligned with columns and rows?
I need urgently an answer please.
Best regards,
João Oliveira
