Creating excel file on client machine using oracle pl/sql code

Hi All,
I have a situation where in i need to create an excel output file in my client machine, but using UTL_FILE i understood that i need to create the directory on server and i need to read and write on server itself.
Is there any other way where we can create a excel file other than oracle server, bcos this is used only once and there is no scheduler to execute on server.
Please do the needful.
Thanks,
Santhosh.S

The server should create the data set required by the client - do all the (intense) server processing that servers do well. This data set is then send to the client. The client is responsible for rendering that data set.. or saving it to the client machine storage if needed.
Within PL/SQL that is quite easy to do using the most common/standard client-server in use today - web based client-server.
The client is a web browser. It makes a call to the web server, that is serviced by a PL/SQL database procedure - a so-called web enabled procedure. It processes the request from the web browser, and returns a dynamic response. This response can range from HTML and XML, to video and image streams - and also CSV (Character Separated Values) data.
By default, most web browsers will use the local client spreadsheet application (like MS Excel) to open the CSV response received. Many web browsers will also provide an alternate option of saving that response as a CSV file (that can then be opened later using MS Excel).
Straight forward and basic client-server - and easily done using PL/SQL. Even easier done using (freeware) Oracle APEX (Application Express). APEX is a PL/SQL software suite that provides a web development system (only web browser required for development) and a run-time system to run the web application you have created.

How to save a file in client system?

no, your code is NOT correct.
It doesn't "upload" anything, as I stated before.It is working perfectly fine if the destination folder is connected to the server machine (which is not the case now).

Look into multipart MIME requests, Jakarta Commons File Upload, and things like that to actually upload files to a server instead of insisting on reading them directly from the client's filesystem in your servlet and wondering why that doesn't work if the servlet container is running on a different computer from the client.I AM using Jakarta Commons File Upload. The problem is when I try to access the destination folder(which is in client machine), it can't find as it is searching for the corresponding folder in the server.

How to print html file on client system without viewing data on client syst

I want to print html data from database.
i am not able to print it using java code,
javascript can do that.
but in javascript window is opened on client browser.
but i dont want to open that
var disp_setting="toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,";
       disp_setting+="scrollbars=no,width=0,height=0";
     var docprint = window.open("","",disp_setting);
     //docprint = new PopUpWindow() ;
     docprint.document.write('<%= mm %>');
     docprint.document.close();
        docprint.focus();
     docprint.document = null; mm contents the data to be printed. it prints well but window is shown
in mm there is <BODY self.print() > so it prints on printer but i am viewing window i donot want to view window....
and print Dialog box also.. I want to by pass this both.

How to create a file in the server?

Hi,
I'm making a webservice that has to generate a XML file, sign it using another webservice and return this XML. The problem is that i don't know how to create the file in the server throught webservice.
I use this code in the webservice to generate the XML and after I return the XML to client in a byte[]
     static void outputDocumentToFile(Document myDocument, String path) {
        //setup this like outputDocument
          try {
               // XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter(" ", true);
               XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
               //output to a file
               FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path);
               outputter.output(myDocument, writer);
               writer.close();
          } catch(java.io.IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
    }But the file is generated in the client-side, how can I generate the file in the server-side?
Thanks very much.

Well the File object doesn't create a file it's simply an abstract representation of file and directory pathnames.
You can try something like this:
<%
try
// get the path to the web server root
// I read somewhere not to use 'getRealPath' for some reason which I
// can't seem to remember :S Hopefull someone can enlighten us :)
String path = application.getRealPath("/project/jsp/demo.txt");
File file = new File(path);
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file)));
writer.println("Hello World!");
writer.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
%>
Hope this helps :)

FRM-92101 when creating excel file through webutil

I am getting forms error FRM-92101 error when loading a large amount of records into an excel file using webutil
FRM-92101
A Network Error has occurred
The forms client has attempted to reconnect to the server 1 time(s) without success
I can successfully create the excel file without the the FRM-92101 when loading only 100 out of 2,000 records from the datablock.
But if I try to load 1,000 out of the 2,000 records then in the middle of the loading process I get the FRM-92101 error.
What is causing this error? A timeout issue with forms? How much the excel file can actually handle? Could it be an security issue on the network?
What can be done to remedy the problem? Just save data little bits at a time?
Thanks,
Michelle

I was running the form from my DS and when I put the form on the application server there were no FRM-92101 errors.
I'm not sure why running the form from my DS caused this error and running the form from the application server didn't?
Thanks,
Michelle

Automatically schedule FR or IR reports to create Excel files???

Hello,
My client asked me to 1) create reports against Essbase cubes, 2) automate the update of the reports to Excel files and 3) email the results to various people. In the first phase of this project I was able to do some of this as follows:
1) Created FR reports.
2) Scheduled the update of the FR reports to PDF files using the scheduler in Hyperion Workspace. NOTE: I created PDF files because that is the only thing that the scheduler can automatically produce from FR reports.
3) Created an Excel VBA application that emails the PDF files to a variable list of recipients (each report goes to a different list of people).
Now we are entering the second phase of this project and the client is asking to have the reports created in Excel files instead of PDF.
***** Questions *****
1) Can an IR report be scheduled using the Hyperion Scheduler in Hyperion Workspace to create Excel files?
2) Is there a utility (either Hyperion or other) that can convert PDF files to Excel files with the exact formatting of the original PDF?
Thank you,
Bill H

Thank you for your reply. After your reply I looked in the Hyperion Workspace User Guide and found how to schedule an IR report to create an Excel file. I think the next thing I am trying to determine is how to do "bursting" in IR. I currently have an FR report that gets data from Essbase. I have scheduled this in Workspace to run for all children of a member (or a different example would be all zero level decendants of a member). The Workspace scheduler allows me to create a file for each member and to add the member name to each filename so that they are different. Can I do the same type of thing with IR?
Thank you,
Bill H

How to create txt file in utf-8?

Hi,
if i create a txt file using vb in fdm, it is created with the ansi encoding. Is there any option how to create this file in utf-8?
Thx

Forms6i uses Oracle 8.0.6 client libraries. MetaLink Note 207303.1 lists supported client/server configurations, and the last database version supported with those libraries is Oracle 9.2. The only exception is made for e-Business Suite (Oracle Applications). Therefore, you configuration is not supported.
Anyway, Oracle 8.0.6 does not support AL32UTF8 well. You should select UTF8 as the database character set (not national character set!). You need to select a check box on DBCA interface (possibly unavailable in fast/default installation path) which allows you to see non-recommended character sets.

Hey,
Not sure what the problem is, I got the code working.
One thing you're doing wrong though: Excel.XlFileFormat.xlOpenXMLTemplate supposes you're using the file extension ".xlsx" (Open XML format) and not ".xls" (Microsoft Excel 97-2003).
So you should start by changing either the extension to xlsx or the XlFileFormat to
xlExcel8.
For further reference take a look

How to create logical file name

Could some one tell me how to create logical file names in BW , and when to use the transaction SF01.
Thanks

The following describes the procedure for creating a cross-client definition using the transaction FILE.
You create the client-specific definition in the same way using transaction SF01.
1.Call transaction FILE for cross-client file names.
2.Double click the dialog structure Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client.
You access the screen Change View "Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client": Overview

ORA-06508 cannot create excel file

Hi,
I have forms 6i and windows 7. We have few forms which should create excel files but all of them fail with ORA-06508 and it happens only on my PC. Other colleagues don't have any problem with it. Forms path on my PC is the same as ones on other PC's.
Also weird, when I run problematic forms through debugger, they work correctly and create excel files.
How to solve this?
Tnx in advance,
Nati

Nati,
Recompiling libraries is not an option because of dependencies on too many forms. The number of Forms in your application and their dependencies is irrelevant if you follow one simple rule: Always compile PL/SQL Libraries first; compile Menu Modules second and lastly, compile your Forms. This will eliminate the dependency issues.
Anyway, mass recompiling is not allowed because of company rules. I disagree with this rule, but I don't work for your company! ;) Perhaps it is time for your company to re-evaluate this rule. :)
I tried with replacing ";" with ";" in particular form and the result was non-oracle exception 304500 which unfortunately doesn't say anything detailed. If this produced an error, I recommend you close all Forms related applications; re-open Forms builder and try again. This method should never produce an error.
I have forms 6i and windows 7.Forms 6i is not supported with Windows 7. More importantly, they are not compatible with each other. Forms 6i was designed to run on Windows 95/98. The differences between the Windows versions is tremendous. If you are unable to upgrade your Forms version, then at the very least, I recommend you run your application in Windows XP mode. This is not just setting the "Compatibility" to Windows XP. Take a look at Windows XP Mode - Windows 7 features, Install and Use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 and Download Windows XP Mode.
Running Forms 6i on Windows 7 is like mixing Pickles with Ice Cream. Somethings are just not meant to go together. :)
