How to generate report output in csv file and send it to user email inbox
Hi All,
We have requiremnt to generate the csv file from the report (Bex query)automatically and need to send that file automatically to user email address every week.
It should be done automatically and one more thing the file name should contain that particuar date
for example if we generate file automatically today the file name should be like below.
US_04_15_2009.CSV
Any one have any ideas?
Regards,
SirishaHi Arun Varadarajan.
Thanks for your reply.We are in BI 7.0.Can you tell me how to broadcast the query as CSV.Please let me know if there is any possiblity to display or change the file name dynamically based on system date.

Sirisha

How to generate report output directly to a file
Here's the issue...
We have several instances of queries that will run for a long time ( because they process a lot of data)...which are then intended to be exported to .csv files
So far, we run these as reports...they'll run...and they export the data to csv files...which seems to result in the query rerunning all over again going to a csv file this time...
Any recommendations/suggestions to directly go to a flat file instead of screen first...file second
ThanksYour query is executing again b/c you haven't fetched all the rows to the grid(s). If you want to prevent the pain of the 2nd query execution for the export, then scroll to the bottom of the data grid before you do the Export. This will consume more memory, but it will save you the effort of running the query again.
You could also try using SPOOL and the /*csv*/ sql developer hint.
SPOOL c:/your_file.csv
select /*csv*/ * from ...
Execute via F5
The main limitation here will be the number of lines returned by your query as we default the max rows to print in a script to 5,000. That's a preference you can change though.

How to export report output into excel file
hi friends,
i would like to get the solution from you for how to export the report output into a .xls file. i know how to convert it into .rtf and .txt files but i think it's difficult to do this .xls way, could you help me to comeover this problem?
thankyou very much.The official answer is "delimited", which
generates adequate comma or other delimited
text. No formatting, and without extra
effort no support for non-ASCII characters.
Might be sufficient for you.
Note that Excel can read html files - we
built programs to generate html files with
name of "blah.xls" and some Excel-ish
extensions, so Excel is automatically opened
and the document is all nice and pretty.
(Oracle html output has some odd logic about
choosing number of columns, we didn't use
it.)

How to download report output to excel file??
Hi all,
I have a problem with downloading a report output to an excel file? May i know is there any functions or methods to do it?
My situation is like this. I used Write function to print out the report. After user click on the execute button. The report output will show to the user in a table format. And there is one button 'Save To Excel' in the report output dipslay screen for user to click to save it into excel format.
Appreciate if you could help.
Thanks.

You can use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD for transferring the data from your report program into excel sheet.
And while saving give the filename extension as .xls.

BI Publisher - PO_DISPATCH Error generating report output
Hi everyone,
Sorry for my bad english... having said that...
I need to modify the Purchase Order print. First, I wanted to see the standard version to get an idea of how much different it was. Well, I don't know because it doesn't work.
Error:
Error generating report output: (235,2309)
Error occurred during the process of generating the output file from template file, XML data file, and translation XLIFF file.
I know there are several topics on the web, but all of them are about new or custom reports, this is a standard one. When I preview the report on the report definition it works fine, so I assume there's a problem with the XML file generated. When I preview the report specifying an alternative XML I get the same error. The XML file I choose was the one generated by PeopleSoft when trying to view the printable version of the PO online.
So, I start cutting portions of the XML File. I started leaving only de Header Data and it works OK, when I add the Lines it failed. I add the Line Fields one by one to detect what was the problem... And finally it failed when I add AMT_LINE_MAX. Why? No idea, is it because its value is '0,000' instead of '0.000'? I don't think that should be the problem since there are other numeric fields on the header, all with ',' as a decimal separator...
Am I missing some configuration?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Veronica.Have a look at the following doc:
"Error generating report output. (235,2309)" When Running the "PO XMLP Dispatch" XML Publisher Report (PO_DISPATCH) for a Purchase Order with a Ship To Location with Special Characters in the Address [ID 1299876.1]

Stating this happens for example when there is a location with special characters. -
How to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server
HI All,
how to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server..Hi,
Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
Thanks & Regards,

How to insert sysdate in a flat file
Hi All,
i have a interafce i extract data from oracle database and generate a flat file.
In one of the columns i have to insert sysdate in the file.
could someone help me how to add the sysdate in flat file.
Thanks in advance
NaveenHi Naveen,
Trying to contribute a little,
Yes you can use sunopsis CURRENT_DATE function to get the sysdate.
@ your interface
1. In the definition, make sure your staging area different from target is checked and SUNOPSIS MEMEORY ENGINE is selected.
2. In the diagram, for the column which you want date to be inserted just say CURRENT_DATE and make it to execute on STAGING.
3. In the Flow, you have to see 3 boxes, in the first box select LKM SQL to SQL, in the second box make it as UNDEFINED, in the third box select IKM SQL To FIle Append and select the options accordingly.
Makes sens?
Thanks,

Use can very well use the function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.
The below code clarifies your doubt as how to mention the path in the selection screen.
tables: mara.
data: itab type standard table of mara.
select-options: s_matnr for mara-matnr.
parameters: filename like rlgrap-filename default 'C:\materail_details.xls'. " download filename
start-of-selection.
select *
from mara
into table itab
where matnr in s_matnr.
perform file_download.
*& Form file_download
text
--> p1 text
<-- p2 text
form file_download .
data: filename1 type string.
filename1 = filename.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = filename1
FILETYPE = 'DAT'

endform. " file_download
Here C:\material_details.xls is the path to save your file. In the same way you can save a text file also.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

How to restrict report output?.
Hi
how to restrict report output?.
My Query:
select a.deptno,b.empno,b.ename,b.hiredate from dept a,emp b
Based on the following condition i have to generate the report.
for each record
if hiredate < '10-oct-03' then
select count(*) from xyz where abc_date <= emp.hiredate
else
select count(*) from xyz where pqr_date <= emp.hiredate
end if
if count(*) = 0 then
generate report
end if
end each recordHi friend,
For your case, I think set up an authority-object is suitable.
You can have a look at this http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/a92195a9-0b01-0010-909c-f330ea4a585c&overridelayout=true

I have a csv file that I need to generate a schema for. I am trying to generate a schema using flat file schema wizard but I keep getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error when I am clicking on the Next button after
specifying properties of the child elements on the wizard. At the end I get schema file generated but it contains an empty root record with no child elements.
I thought may be this is because I didn't have my project checked out from the Visual SourceSafe db first but I tried again with the project checked out and got the same error.
I also tried creating a brand new project and generating a schema for it but got the same error.
I am not sure what is causing Null Reference exception to be thrown and there is nothing in the Windows event log that would tell me more about the problem.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 for my BizTalk development.
I would appreciate if some has any insides on this issue.Hi,
To test your environment, create a new BizTalk project outside of source control.
Create a simple csv file on the file system.
Name,City,State
Bob,New York,NY
Use the Flat file schema Wizard to create the flat file schema from your simple csv instance.
Validate the schema.
Test the schema using your csv instance.
This will help you determine if everything is ok with you environment.
Thanks,
William
