How to load properties from csv file directly into a .dll parameter in a test step

Hi,
I would like to take values from a property file and plug them directly into parameter used to invoke dll calls.
I have looked at examples on how to use the property loader to input test limits, but I cannot figure out how to pipe into the params.
I have tried. <step name>.Module.<param name>
step.propertieslist[0].
Any ideas?
Thanks,
m
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I agree that it would be nice. The difference between limits and parameters though is that parameters are set dynamically. What I mean by that is you never know how many parameters a step will have until you define the module. Whereas the Limits are always set in stone. The only difference is the MultiNumeric Limit Test which is just an array that get's appended too with the same datatype. And the only acess to a parameters value is through the API unless it is a variable.
The other hard part is that you don't know the datatype of parameters. Any step can have any number of parameters as well as any datatype being passed to each individual parameter.
I think if you are set on NOT creating Locals or FileGlobals then you would need to create custom step types with subproperties that get assigned to the parameters. This could be even more painful though because now you have to maintain and support the custom step types.
The other option would be to create your own property loader step that could call in and set things in the API. HMMM now that would be an interesting project...

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

What is the proper way to load images from css in Java 8?
Ref
How to load images from css file in JavaFX 8 - Stack Overflow

There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement. The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
When loading from a file on a client computer:
READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.

Loading records from .csv file to SAP table via SAP Program

Hi,
I have a .csv file with 132,869 records and I am trying to load it to an SAP table with a customized SAP program.
After executing the program, only 99,999 records are being loaded into the table.
Is there some setting to define how many records can be loaded into a table? Or what else could be the problem?
Pls advice.
Thanks!!!

hi Arun ,
A datasource need a extract structure to fetch data .It is nothing but a temp table to hold data.
First you need to create atable in SE11 with fields coming from CSV file.
Then you need to write a report program to read you CSV file and populate your table in BW .
Then you can create a datasource on top of this table .
After that replicate and load data at PSA and use to upper flow.

Jaya Tiwari

How to retrieve rows from .csv file

Hi
I need to retrieve rows from .csv file , anybody's kind support is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Khiz_eng

a .csv file is just a comma delimited text file. each row contains data separated by a comma. To read this information in, do as Hartmut suggested to your earlier post on this exact topic. "I would read that file with a FileReader / BufferedReader and parse each line with StringTokenizer. This would be quite the same like working through a result set." For more info on how to read text files, see any java book or browse through the i/o tutorial.

Help Me... How to get Data from CSV File...?

Hi Everyone..!
This is yajiv and am working in CS3 Photoshop platform. I know about Java Script. Is it possible to get the data from CSV files. Actually our client use to send us the CSV files which contains a lot of swatch name and reference files in one particular image name.
Actually how we work on that CSV file is, first we copy file name to search that CSV file. then get the result to paste into layer name. This process continue till the end of swatch.

Loading Data From .CSV files

Hi Gurus,
I m new to BW
Can u please help me out solving the below problem
When i was trying to load data from a flat file (.CSV), which is like this
Cust no, Cust name, Cust address
cust001,coca cola, Inc., 17 north road, Hyderabad - 35
infoObjects are
ZS_CUST,ZS_CUSTNM,ZS_CUSTAD
I am getting the first three values, into my attribute table, those seperated by commas
i.e cust001, coca cola and Inc into three fields in the attribute table (and PSA).
Now my piont is with out replacing the seperator ',' to any thing else
(If we have millions of records in the file and assuming that it will be a time consuming process to change ',' to some other seperator) can we extract the complete data into the fields in attribute table respectively.
Thanks

Once you specify in BW "," as the field separator, it will be interpreted as such. Of course, "Coca Cola, Inc" will be interpreted and loaded as two separate fields.
"Data should be fixed in the source, whenever is possible". That's a phrase you'll hear a lot when dealing with BW, especially when loading data from flat files.
Good luck.

Luis

How to load data from UTL file to database

Hi All,
I am new in this technologies.
I am facing below problem to load data from utl file to database .
below is the script written by me :

v_line VARCHAR2(2000);
v_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
v_dir VARCHAR2(250);
v_filename VARCHAR2(50);
v_1st_Comma NUMBER;
v_2nd_Comma NUMBER;
v_deptno NUMBER;
v_dname VARCHAR2(14);
v_loc VARCHAR2(13);

v_dir := ':f/rashi/dataload';
v_filename := 'fake.txt';
v_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(v_dir, v_filename, 'r');
LOOP
BEGIN
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(v_file, v_line);
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
exit;
END;
v_1st_Comma := INSTR(v_line, ',' ,1 , 1);
v_2nd_Comma := INSTR(v_line, ',' ,1 , 2);
v_deptno := SUBSTR(v_line, 1, v_1st_Comma-1);
v_dname := SUBSTR(v_line, v_1st_Comma+1, v_2nd_Comma-v_1st_Comma-1);
v_loc := SUBSTR(v_line, v_2nd_Comma+1);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_deptno || ' - ' || v_dname || ' - ' || v_loc);

UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_file);
COMMIT;
END;

I am getting the below errors:
LINE/COL ERROR

could anyone please advice me on above error.
thanx.

First of all, is file located on (or is accessible from) database server? If not - you can't load it neither with UTL_FILE nor with external table. You need to use client side tool like SQL*Loader or write your own client side load. If file is accessible from database server, then, as sb92075 noted, external table (assuming you are not on some ancient Oracle version) is the way to go.

How to regularly load data from .csv file to database (using apex)

Hi,
i am using apex3 , I need to load data from a csv file to apex . I need to perform this automatically through code at regular time interval of 5-10 seconds.
Is it possible .If yes how ?. Please reply as early as possible. This will decide whether to use apex or not for this application.
this is question for Application Express. Dont know why in forum for BPEL

Hello,
You really need to load the data every 5-10 seconds? Presumably it's read only?
I would look at using an Oracle external table instead, that way you just drop your CSV in a location the DB can read it and then you build a table that essentially references the underlying CSV (that way when you query the table you view the data in the CSV file).
Take a look at this link for a quick example on usage -
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/SQLNewFeatures9i.php#ExternalTables
Hope this helps,
John.

How to generate graphs from csv file and show on remote clients?

Hi,
I have set of csv files. Each file has 104 parameters. From these parameters different graphs have to be generated and displayed to remote clients thru tomcat.
Can anyone tell me how to do that?
cheers,
its reeju

it's very easy to load the CSV into java objects. Once you have done that why not use the Java2D API to draw your graphs and then use the Sun JPG encoder tools to write out a jpg stream back to the browser (you will need to set the content type for jpg).

How to import data from CSV file with columns separated by semicolon?

I migrate database from MS SQL 2008 to ORACLE 11g
I export data to CSV file from MS SQL
then I try to import it to Oracle
several tables goes fine using Import data option in the SQL Developer
Standard CSV files with data separated by comma were imported.
chars, date (with format string), and integer data are imported via import wizard without problems
the problems were when I try to import table with noninteger numbers with modal part separated by comma not by dot
comma is the standard separator for columns in CSV file
so I must change the standard separator to semicolon
then the import wizard have problem to correct recognize the columns data because it use only standard CSV comma separator :-/
In SQL Developer 1.5.3 Tools -> Preferences -> Migration -> Data Move Options
I change "End of Column Delimiter" to ; but it doens't work
Is this possible to change the standard column separator for import data wizzard in SQL Developer 1.5.3?
Or maybe someone know how to import data in SQL Developer 1.5.3 from CSV when CSV colunn separator is set to semicolon?

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

How to Load table from client file in C?

Hi all,
I'm trying to determine how to write a C program to load a client file with the "load table ... using client file..." syntax without calling out to the dbisql program to load the table. I'm probably not seeing the forest for the trees here. I know I can use the bulk api (equivalent of bcp) but would rather use the load table because it is much faster.

There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement. The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
When loading from a file on a client computer:
READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.

How to load Material from Flat File and convert to SAP Format

Hi
I am loading 0Material values from Flat File for mapping purpose. The format of Material in Flat File is "7704132". Within the system, i need to compare the value with 0Material values from the incoming data and update corresponding 0Material in records. for this purpose, I created dummy materials taking 0Material as template and trying to load data. I am getting invalid error- Version '7704132' is not valid RSDMD No194. Can anyone please let me know how to over come this issue. Should I include any routine in the data source or rules level. I am in BI 7.0.
Thanks.

Hi,
Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to convert the value into Internal format .Use this FM in the Transformations (field mapping).
Search the forum with CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for more information on this.
