Information Broadcasting direct email delivery of CSV files?

Hello,
Is there any way to configure Information Broadcasting in BW 3.5/Netweaver 04 such that email delivery of CSV files is possible? I see that the pre-calculation server will generate workbooks. Though, we really need delivery direct to CSV.
Alternatively, has any one come up with a process of delivering Bex web links with a template that can generate CSV? I saw this second option come up in a previous topic, but I am not sure how this would work.
Regards,
Joel

Hello,
Sorry I did not see your question until today. It seems that you posted right before I went on vacation. º To answer your questions
To Broadcast a Template for CSV extract only
1)     Create a new template
2)     Add a table
3)     Set the new table as HIDDEN
4)     Add Button or In-line command

          exportToFile('XLS', suppress_repeating_texts);
     //Exports a table to a CSV file and force repeating texts on.
     function exportToCSV()
          var suppress_repeating_texts = ' ';
          exportToFile('CSV', suppress_repeating_texts);
     //Exports a table to a file
     function exportToFile(fileFormat, suppress_repeating_texts)

I hope this helps.

Need to Export Emails to Single CSV file

Is there an Apple Script that can accomplish the following:
I have form emails from my clients that I want to consolidate into 1 CSV file.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Write a script that sets "Export as Spreads" and then export per two pages.
(Post-thought)
Perhaps it's easier (way easier) to just export as spreads, then use Acrobat to "Extract Pages As Separate Files" -- a basic function.

Send emails from a csv file (grouping records with the same email addresses)

Writing a script to send emails from a csv which contains record details and email addresses using the Send-Mailmessage cmdlet.
That part is no trouble, however, the csv file contain records that can have the same email address.
Is there a way/method I could send the records with the same email address once instead of sending individual email messages?
Thanks
Data in the csv file
Record number, description, email
1234, Test 1, [email protected]
5678, Test 2, [email protected]
1245, Test 3, [email protected]
4578, Test 4, [email protected]
$data = Import-csv c:\records.csv
ForEach($address in $data)
Send-mailmessage -To $address.emails -from [email protected] -subject "List of records" -Body $data -SmtpServer 192.168.1.1

The following code does what you are looking for:
$data = Import-csv c:\records.csv$mx = "192.168.1.1"
$subject = "List of records"
$from = "[email protected]"
$data| Group-Object email|Select-Object Name, @{n='msg'; e={$_.Group| Select-Object -Property "record number", description|ConvertTo-Csv -notypeinformation|Out-String}}|
ForEach-Object {Send-MailMessage -to $_.Name -Body $_.msg -SmtpServer $mx -Subject $subject -From $from}
I also recommend no forcing everything into one line. "One-liner" means "one pipeline" not putting all code on one unreadable line.
Your code should look like this:
$data|
Group-Object email|
Select-Object Name, @{
n='msg'; e={
$_.Group| Select-Object -Property "record number", description|
ConvertTo-Csv -notypeinformation|Out-String
}|
ForEach-Object {
Send-MailMessage -to $_.Name -Body $_.msg -SmtpServer $mx -Subject $subject -From $from
Now we can see the code and see that you are still unnecessarily converting back and forth.
To get the group look at how I did it.
$body=$_.Group | Format-Table |Out-String
Isn't that much easier?
Once you master the pipeline these things will become second nature. In PowerShell it is not necessary to write lots of code most of the time.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Information Broadcast Email File - Where is the file in Unix directory?

Hi,
I am using Information Broadcasting to email the BI report. We use Unix as the application server.
In transaction SOSV, I can get detailed information on the file (attachment) and the send status. There is a requirement to encrypt the file in Unix server. Does anyone know where the file resides in Unix when the report is generated from Information Broadcasting? What's the Unix directory?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you.

With this I am executing the command: javac test.java. However, it is still giving lot of error messages
All the messages are 'cannot resolve symbol' associated with the Servlet class, Servlet Request, Server Exception etc. In the very first error message it states that: 'package javax.servlet does not exist'.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Use UTL_MAIL instead.That package is an utter disappointment - and an excellent example IMO of how not to design an application programming interface. Even the source code is shoddy..

The person(s) who wrote that package are sorely lacking in even the most basic of programming skills if structured programming is ignored and a spaghetti command used instead.
No wonder the public interface of that code is equally shabby and thoughtless... The mail demo code posted by Oracle was better written than this "+package+" they now have bundled as the official Mail API.

.csv file in an outlook email attachment

Hello,
How can we accomplish following using SOA/BPEL without using Oracle Beehive or any other third paty tools.
1. Emails contain a .csv file with 5 columns.
2. There is a table in Oracle EBS database with 5 columns.
3. We need to have real time integration to import these .csv file from incoming emails into Oracle table from #2 above.
How can SOA/BPEL detach the .csv file from emails, parse .csv fields and import these files in Oracle table in real time manner?
Please advise.
Darsh

as idea
- vba script in outlook for save .*csv files to some directory
- composite for pooling directory and insert data from parsed .*csv files
or
all by vba

CSV file for users who have one-time password email address

Hi Guys,
I am trying to extract the list of users who have one-time password email address in FIM or users who have registered with one-time password reset authentication workflow. I need to get their email addresses in CSV file.
Regards
Sarwar
Sarwar

Take a look at:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/3616.how-to-use-powershell-to-export-all-users-who-have-registered-for-self-service-password-reset-sspr.aspx
The script queries a WorkFlow called "Password Reset AuthN Workflow" and returns its ObjectID, then uses it to do a new query searching for "Users" with these parameters:
AuthN WorkFlow Registered = ObjectID of "Password Reset AuthN Workflow"
The script exports these details to a CSV.
Also, all OTP email addresses should be stored in the "msidmOneTimePasswordEmailAddress" attribute in the FIM Portal.

Processing Several Records in a CSV File

Hello Experts!
I'm currently using XI to process an incoming CSV file containing Accounts Payable information. The data from the CSV file is used to call a BAPI in the ECC (BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST). Return messages are written to text file. I'm also using BPM. So far, I've been able to get everything to work - financial documents are successfully created in the ECC I also receive the success message in my return text file.
I am, however, having one small problem... No matter how many records are in the CSV file, XI only processes the very first record. So my question is this: Why isn't XI processing all the records? Do I need a loop in my BPM? Are there occurrence settings that I'm missing? I kinda figured XI would simply process each record in the file.
Also, are there some good examples out there that show me how this is done?
Thanks a lot, I more than appreciate any help!

Matthew,
First let me explain the BPM Steps,
Recv--->Transformation1->For-Each Block->Transformation2->Synch Call->Container(To append the response from BAPI)->Transformation3--->Send
Transformation3 and Send must be outside Block.
Transformation1
Here, the source and target must be same. I think you must be know to split the messages, if not see the below example
Source
<MT_Input>
<Records>
<Field1>Value1</Field1>
<Field2>Value1</Field2>
</Records>
<Records>
<Field1>Value2</Field1>
<Field2>Value2</Field2>
</Records>
<Records>
<Field1>Value3</Field1>
<Field3>Value3</Field3>
</Records>
</MT_Input>
Now , I need to split the messages for each Records, so what I can do?
In Message Mapping, choose the source and target as same and in the Messages tab, choose the target occurrence as 0..Unbounded.
Now,if you come to Mapping tab, you can see Messages tag added to your structure, and also you can see <MT_Input> occurrence will be changed to 0..unbounded.
Here is the logic now
Map Records to MT_INPUT
Constant(empty) to Records
Map rest of the fields directly. Now your o/p looks like
<Messages>
<Message1>
<MT_Input>
<Records>
<Field1>Value1</Field1>
<Field2>Value1</Field2>
</Records>
</MT_Input>
<MT_Input>
<Records>
<Field1>Value2</Field1>
<Field2>Value2</Field2>
</Records>
</MT_Input>
<MT_Input>
<Records>
<Field1>Value3</Field1>
<Field3>Value3</Field3>
</Records>
</MT_Input>
</Message1>

Exporting Metadata (caption information) from JPEGS to a comma separated value (CSV) file

Here is my dilemma. I am an archivist at an arts organization and we are in the process of digitizing many of our materials to post them on the web and make them available to internet users. One of the principle components of our collection is a large trove of photographs. We have been in the process of digitizing these images and embedding metadata (in the Caption/Description, Author/Photographer and Copyright fields) via PhotoShops File Info command.
Now I am at a crossroads. We need to extract this metadata and transfer it into a comma separated value form, like an Excel spreadsheet or a FileMakerPro database. I have been told that it is not possible to do this through PhotoShop, that I must run a script through Acrobat or Bridge. I have no clue how to do this. I have been directed to a couple of links.
First I was directed to this (now dead) link: http://www.barredrocksoftware.com/products.html
The BSExportMetadata script allegedly exports the metadata from files selected in Adobe's Bridge into a comma separated value (CSV) file suitable for import into Excel, Access and most database programs. It installs as a Bridge menu item making it simple to use. The the Export Metadata script provides you with an easy to use wizard allowing you to select associated information about a set of images that you can then export. This script requires Creative Suite 2 (CS2). This script sounds like it does exactly what I want to do, but unfortunately, it no longer exists.
Then I found this:
Arnold Dubin, "Script to Export and Import Keywords and Metadata" #13, 8 Aug 2005 7:23 am
I tried this procedure, but nothing seemed to happen. I also tried to copy the script into the JAVASCRIPT action option in Acrobat, but I received a message that the script had an error. It also seems to me that this script does not set up a dumping point, that is, a file into which this information will be exported to.
I am a novice, not a code writer or a programmer/developer. I need a step-by-step explanation of how to implement this filtering of information. We have about 2000 jpeg and tiff files, so I would rather not go through each file and copy and paste this information elsewhere. I need to find out how to create a batch process that will do this procedure for me. Can anyone help?

Hello -
Is anyone aware of a tool that will do the above that is available for mac? Everything I've found so far seems to be PC only.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Email CSV Files from ABAP in 4.6c

Hi all,
I've been trying to work out how to send an email from an ABAP program with a body of email text and a CSV file attachment. We are running 4.6c and have SAP connect configured. I can send plain text emails but can't seem to attach a CSV file successfully. In my program I have set up an internal table which represents the CSV contents.
Any of the threads I follow on the SDN seem to point towards binary attachments which I have tried but do not seem to work as I want them to.. there are formatting issues or the file ends up having an extension which is not suitable.
I want to be able to name the attachment appropriately ... e.g. filename.csv so that the receiver can open it directly in Excel or in other text file applications.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for this ?
Cheers,
Gordon

Hi Thomas, thanks for that.. I'm starting to get the hang of the packing table. But I'm still stuggline with the format of the file when it arrives in the email.
If I set the DOC_TYPE field to 'TXT' for the attachment, the email does arrive now with my data in a .txt file attachment however the CSV data which I had in my internal table is not presented in the file as it was in the table. In my table I_EXTRACT, each row is a CSV record I want to go into the file.. but when it arrives the txt file has incorrect line breaks, so more than one record per line etc. It's as all the data has been spewed out as long string into the text file.
Is there an extra step or escape key I need to add to my data to get SAP to add the line breaks correctly ?
My code for adding the attachment to the email data is as follows:
LOOP AT i_extract.
APPEND i_extract TO objtxt.
ENDLOOP.
Create Message Attachment
Write Packing List (Attachment)
att_type = 'TXT'.
DESCRIBE TABLE objtxt LINES tab_lines.
READ TABLE objtxt INDEX tab_lines.
objpack-doc_size = ( tab_lines - 2 ) * 255 + STRLEN( objtxt ).
clear objpack-transf_bin.
objpack-head_start = 2.
objpack-head_num = 0.
objpack-body_start = 2.
objpack-body_num = tab_lines.
objpack-doc_type = att_type.
objpack-obj_name = 'ATTACHMENT'.
objpack-obj_descr = 'myfile'.
APPEND objpack.

In Bex under the Business Explorer / Tools, you should have a Distribute option to distribute workbooks. This should open the web browser based Information Broadcasting inerface which allows you to send a wkbk immediately, or you can schedule the execution and distribution.
I believe with 3.5 SP15 there is an option to distribute as a csv file. I believe the Note has you add an entry to a table that adds csv as an output option, but I think the technical functionality actually exists before SP15.
