Kindly give some hint to solve the same

how to read an .xls file from pl/sql.
my data is on my local machine.You can't. PL/SQL runs on the server and can't see your local machine.
I'm not sure how it could read a .xls file anyway since that's a proprietary Microsoft format.
You could save it as a .csv file on your local machine and then use SQL Loader.

  • How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table

    Hi
    am using the FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 to read xls file from FTP server to internal table
    but the data i get in LT_TEXT is special characters.
    CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3'

    can any one help me out to get the exact data..
    Really appreciate your quick response..
    Thank You

    Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
    CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
    of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
    Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
    But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

  • How to make SSIS packages automatically read the input file from a path?

    Currently I am using a SSIS package to read data from a .dat file and load it into SQL Server tables.
    I am placing the input .dat file on the desktop. In the connection manager -> Browse option, I am pointing this file to create connection.
    The file naming convention is like - aSNAP_Data_20140926_P-2014-09-26_07.02.36
    However, I need the SSIS package to automatically read the input file from a folder which is located in a remote server. This folder has lots of files where input files are added on a daily basis with the date value in the file name as mentioned above.
    I want to schedule the SSIS package to run daily and take the latest file in the folder based on the date.
    Please let me know how to do it. Any help would be highly appreciated.....
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi SQL_SSIS_Dev,
    According to your description, you want to get the latest file from a path to a SQL Server table. After testing the issue in my environment, we can refer to the following steps to achieve your requirement:
    Create two variables, VarFolderPath stores the folder path in which our files exist, VarFileName hold the value of most recent File Name.
    Drag a Script Task from SSIS Toolbox to Control Flow Pane, then select “User::VarFolderPath” as ReadOnlyVariables, select “User::VarFileName” as ReadWriteVariables.
    Then Edit Script with the C# code below:
    Add “using System.IO;” into namespace.
    Add the code below under Main function:
    var directory= new DirectoryInfo(Dts.Variables["User::VarFolderPath"].Value.ToString());
                FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles();
                DateTime lastModified = DateTime.MinValue;
                foreach (FileInfo file in files)
                    if (file.LastWriteTime > lastModified)
                        lastModified = file.LastWriteTime;
                        Dts.Variables["User::VarFileName"].Value = file.ToString();
    Drag a Data Flow Task to Control Flow Pane and connect to Script Task.
    In the Data Flow Task, drag a Flat File Source with a file in the source folder as all the files have same structure as the File name.
    Add the property below the Flat File Connection Manger expression:
    Property: ConnectionString      Expression: @[User::VarFolderPath] +"\\"+ @[User::VarFileName]
    Drag an OLE DB Destination that connect to the Flat File Source, then configure a table to store the data.
    The following screenshot is for your reference:
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

    In the past I thought you could, but it doesn't look like you can anymore. Just make sure to search first before adding a request. My gut tells me that about half of your requests should already be in there and you can simply vote for them to up their weight.

  • To read xls file content

    Hi all
    I want read the content of a xls file.
    For creating xls file am used poi.
    On reading xls hoe to get the column and row count.
    pls reply with example
    thanks for reply.

    You're already using POI to create XLS files. Guess what, you can also use the same to read XLS files. If your problem is more that you don't know how, then just read the documentation and code examples which come along it (and are available at its homepage).

  • Running App-V 5.0 package in read-only mode.

    Hello.
    I have sequenced Firefox with an older version of Java that is used to run a web application.
    Is there a way to run the package in read-only/sandbox mode, or so that changes done during the session will be discarded as the package is closed?

    Hi,
    not directly: App-V itself doesn't have a 'entirely ready-only' mode. 
    There is one setting in the Sequencer to enforce NTFS access permissions inside a package (so that user can/can't write to the virtual C:\Program files or alike). This setting has been intorduced with HF4 for App-V 5 SP2. Before that, the ACLs were enforced.
    However this doesn't help to address your requirement.
    What you could do it to remove user-made changes when the application closes. (so remove the reg values in HKCU, remove modified files in Appdata, Localappdata..), but this isn't easy to achive, as the App-V scripting interface does not allow to run post-shutdown
    scripts inside the protected environment (so, you can't trigger anything that launches _after_ firefox ended but that still has access to the virtualized HKCU\Software\Mozilla|Firefox locations. 
    There are some workarounds, like to remove the resources from the _redirected_ location afterwards (HKCU/Software/AppV... somewhere, see http://www.virtualvibes.co.uk/where-the-app-v-client-puts-stuff/ for
    the general locations) or you could use a 'wrapper' application that is running inside the virtual environment and, launches Firefox itself and cleans up stuff after FFox ended. Both are not really nice.
    You could be able to redirect some settings to "non-appv'ed" locations outside of the virtual environment, but this basically is only usabel for files/folders (not reg values)
    If you are using a User Profile Management solution, you should be able to tell that to either ignore certain applications or to explicitely clean up stuff. If the UPM solution supports App-V 5, it should be able to handle it.
    Note that App-V does not allow the user to change _any_ 'programmatic' files inside the virtual environment (like .js); see http://blogs.technet.com/b/gladiatormsft/archive/2013/10/24/app-v-5-on-that-issue-with-firefox-where-you-cannot-save-preferences.aspx.

    Hi Dennis,
                     I tried the simualtion you are given.It is giving the waveform but a portion of it  only showing. Any time only 1023 samples of data is coming. That too it is coming from 17111 to 18134.I tried to change all the axis and scaling even then it is not changing. I am attaching the text files with tabs inside the elements. Can you please explain me the reason or can you send me the spread sheet file you've given for the simulation.
     Thanks

  • Child package cannot read param value from parent ssis package

    Hi all,
    I think I must be crazy !! i have a big problem in my ssis project .
    i have more than 40 package one parent and 39 childs 
    i use configuration method to get variable values from parent to child packages and it work well .. but when i copy my ssis project
    to the production server i face the following problem .. childs package didn't read the variables values from the parent package 
    i revised the configuration many times i can't find any missing !!
    any help please ...
    Thanks,

    Do not copy the packages from the projet to the production server, but you must generate the manifest installation including your configuration, and deploy them.
    Note : not forget to include the configuration.

  • How to restore Appleworks 6 instead of ExCel as default to read .xls?

    I just loaded Appleworks 6 software from an old eMac applications disk onto my new MacBook because I don't want to buy iWork '08. Appleworks 6 works fine in general on my MacBook, but when I try to open Windows spreadsheets sent to me from a colleague, Appleworks with MacLinkPlus is no longer the default program as it had been on my eMac. Instead, ExCel for Mac now wants to open them by default, but since I refuse to buy iWorks of which ExCel is a part, they don't open. I can still read the spreadsheets in Appleworks 6 by choosing "Open With" from the drop down "File" menu in the Finder, but this is now an extra step. How can I restore Appleworks & MacLinkPlus as the default program to open these spreadsheets and not have go through this extra step?

    HI Spokesman,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
    You wrote: "(S)ince I refuse to buy iWorks of which ExCel is a part, they don't open."
    Microsoft Excel is one of the applications in the MS Office suite, and not a part of iWork (no 's'), made by Apple. The spreadsheet application Numbers was added to the iWork suite with iWork '08.
    To your issue:
    Go to the Finder and locate an Excel file with the file extension .xls). Click on the file (once), then press command-I to Get info.
    In the Get info window, look to the Open with...section (If necessary, click the disclosure triangle to expand the section).
    Use the pull down menu to change the application name from Microsoft Excel to AppleWorks 6. If AW 6 is not in the listed choices, select Other..., navigate to and open the AppleWorks 6 folder, select AppleWorks 6, then click Select (or OK).
    Click the Change all button to apply the change to all files with the .xls extension.
    Close the Get info window.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Read .xls-file in JSP

    My problem is this:
    I have a jsp page that should open a template spreadsheet and make
    some changes and the show it to the user. Everthing works but I have
    to put the template excel-file in the /bin directory of the server
    program, tomcat. The jsp-file cannot find the file if it lies in the
    main web application directory(I've tried it in the web-inf, lib and
    classes directory aswell). I uses a spreadsheet api called JExcelAPI, if someone wounders...
    This is the basic code I use in the jsp-file:
    response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
    OutputStream excelOut = response.getOutputStream();
    Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("temp.xls"));
    WritableWorkbook copy = Workbook.createWorkbook(excelOut, workbook);
    The problem lies on line 3 where the file is read.
    I've tried it as a servlet too but the didn't fix the problem.
    What am I doing wrong? Why can't the JSP file locate the temp.xls if it just lies in the web application directory?
    Thanks / Daniel

    Instead of:
    Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("temp.xls"));
    try:
    Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/temp.xls")));

    I get the same results you do if I do it as you have done,
