Is it possible to output a report as a text file (.txt) in a Data Driven Subscription?

Is it possible to create a Data Driven Subscription report as a text file output to a shared folder? Thanks.
Kahlua

Hi Vicky:
Thank you for your reply. I changed the config file in SSRS and it works. I managed to generate a text file with Data Driven Subscription as the report output in a shared folder. However is it possible not to have the "double quote" wrapping around
the text. Do I need to modify the config file to remove the "double quote" and how. Thanks.

Data Driven Subscription Missing in Reporting Services Manager under Subcriptions

I am attempting to create my first data driven subscription.
However, the 'New Data-driven Subscription'
button is missing from my management view under Subscriptions for the report I am using.
I have verified that I have the 'Content Manager' and 'System Administrator' roles associated with my login. Also, I am running on the necessary Enterprise Edition.
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2
Please assist me in troubleshooting this matter as this is the only method I'm aware of for accessing data driven subscriptions.

Hi ThornDrill,
According to your description, the 'New Data-driven Subscription' button is missing though you install SQL Server Enterprise edition.
In you scenario, it’s possible that you are running a different SKU of Report Server while the SQL Server is Enterprise edition. Please find the first log file within the Reporting Service logs, then search the keyword with “SKU” to find the actual edition
of the report server instance. For more information, please refer to this similar thread:
Data driven subscription button not displayed.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Data getting truncated while exporting report to a text file in crystal 10?

Hi All,
I am using crystal 10.When exporting report to a text file ,a dialog prompts asking for Character perinch with a default value 9.If I change the value from 9 to 16 i am getting the correct data(that means character per inch value is 16) and it update "CharPerInch" value in registry under following location to 16.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Text
The dialog asked for character per inch also has option to select not to prompt again and i also selected that in first go.
When i export the report again in text format it didn't prompt for number of character per inch but the data gets truncated.
What i believe is even though it updates entry in registry and reads, it is not using the same value for export. It never consider the value that is in registry, if the check box is not selected then it is using the value entered in the dialog and if the check box is selected then in the next run it uses the default value as 9.
Can anyone suggest me how to override this problem ? Is there any other setting place in registry where i can enter the number of character per inch.I don't want to crystal to prompt always for character per inch.

Hi Venkateswaran,
The other option to avoid truncation of the data could be
Right click the text filed
Click on Format Text to open the Format Editor
On Common tab check the text box for Can Grow.
This will prevent the data from truncating in preview as well as while exporting to text.
Otherwise you will have to set the characters per inch to 16 each time. I donu2019t see changing the registry value causing any difference here.

Aditya Joshi

SSRS Data Driven Subscription Split Report on Email

I have a requirement to email an SSRS report to each of the individual emails referenced in the report.
Think of it is as a mail merge wherein there are 5 persons receiving the report.The Current SSRS Report contains 5 Letters. The Email Subscription dataset is identical to the one upon which the report is based and works as expected. The problem is that currently
it is sending the ENTIRE report to each email rather than sending only the report that corresponds to the applicable email ( I have heard this referred to as bursting the report).
Is there some setting that I may be missing? How can this be achieved?
Again I have Info
Report A
(user1 info, User 1 Email
User2 info---------------BEING EMAILED TO ----------> User 2 email
User3 info User 3 email
User4 info User 4 email
User5 ) User 5 email
And I want
Report A
(user1 info--------------BEING EMAILED TO ----------> User 1 Email
User2 info---------------BEING EMAILED TO ----------> User 2 email
User3 info --------------BEING EMAILED TO ----------> User 3 email
User4 info --------------BEING EMAILED TO ----------> User 4 email
User5 info --------------BEING EMAILED TO ----------> User 5 email

Hi Garrett_ll,
After testing the issue in my local environment, we can refer to the steps below to achieve your requirement:
We should add a parameter named User in the report use User field as Available Values.
Add a filter as below in the corresponding tablix:
Expression: [User]
Operator: =
Value: [@User]
Deploy the Report to report server.
During the data-driven subscription, in the step 4 (Specify delivery extension settings for Report Server Email). Below “To” option, select “Get the value from the database”, then select User field.
In the step 5, we can configure report parameter “Get the value from the database”, then select User field.
The following article about Create a Data-Driven Subscription, you can refer to it.

Is it possible to generate a report in CSV/text format ?

Hello , I received a request from a client to generate a report in CSV/text format ? Is it possible ?
How should I do it ? Thanks.

Hi!
If i understood right, you want to generate a .csv-file from all item-values and records in your / customers form:
So try this procedure:
procedure write_csv_file( p_csv_file in varchar2,
                          p_block    in varchar2 ) is
l_file      client_text_io.file_type;
l_item      varchar2(61) := p_block || '.' || get_block_property ( p_block, first_item );
l_tmp_str   varchar2(32000);
l_delimeter varchar2(1) := ';'; --> change as you need (',' or char(9) for tab)
l_cnt       pls_integer := 1;
l_too_big   exception;
begin
l_file := client_text_io.fopen ( p_csv_file, 'W' ); --> existing file will be deleted!
if
NOT client_text_io.is_open ( l_file )
then
message ( 'File ' || p_csv_file || ' could not be opened for writing. Please check filename and path.' );
message ( ' ' );
return;
end if;
for l_rec in ( select :system.cursor_block cur_block from dual ) loop --> this one-count-loop is just for Steve C.
                                                                     --> spare one variable and plenty of ram ;-)
if
    :system.cursor_block != upper ( p_block )
then
    go_block ( p_block );
end if;
first_record;
loop
    loop
      if
        get_item_property ( l_item, item_type ) in ( 'TEXT ITEM', 'LIST', 'RADIO GROUP', 'CHECKBOX', 'DISPLAY ITEM' )
      then
        if
          length ( l_tmp_str || name_in ( l_item ) || l_delimeter ) > 32000
        then
          raise l_too_big;
           end if;
        l_tmp_str := l_tmp_str || name_in ( l_item ) || l_delimeter;
      end if;
      exit when     l_item = p_block || '.' || get_block_property ( p_block, last_item );
      l_item := p_block || '.' || get_item_property ( l_item, nextitem );
    end loop;
    client_text_io.put_line ( l_file, l_tmp_str );
    l_tmp_str := null;
    exit when :system.last_record = 'TRUE';
    next_record;
    l_item := p_block || '.' || get_block_property ( p_block, first_item );
    l_cnt := l_cnt + 1;
end loop;
go_block ( l_rec.cur_block );
end loop;
client_text_io.fclose ( l_file );
message ( l_cnt || ' record/s written to ' || p_csv_file );
message ( ' ' );
--> if you don't use webutil, comment out or delete the following line
--> in forms 6i use host instead of webutil_host.nonblocking.
--> it starts the csv_file-mimetype attached application
webutil_host.nonblocking ( 'cmd /c start ' || p_csv_file );
exception when
l_too_big
then
client_text_io.fclose ( l_file );
message ( 'Error: The amount of data in record ' || l_cnt || ' exceeds the max. length of 32000 characters. Your file is not complete.' );
message ( ' ' );
when
others
then
client_text_io.fclose ( l_file );
message ( 'Error ' || sqlerrm || ' in write_csv_file Procedure.' );
message ( ' ' );
end;You can call this procedure in your when-button-pressed-trigger like:
begin
write_csv_file( 'c:\temp\test.csv', :system.cursor_block );
end;Hope this is what you are looking for.

Hi,
You can download xls file from option system > List > save option > Spreadsheet,save the file in local directory and then use "save as" option and then save in 2007/2003 format.(Usually sheet gets downloaded in txt format)
This will allow user to use vlookup in xls format.

Output query result to a text file in ORACLE

I Need a procedure for generating output query into text file in Oracle.
for Example,
A table called Tab1
the columns are c1,c2,c3,c4,c5.
I want to store the data in text file in...
First row as a column name & then, appear the records in second row onwards...
c1|c2|c3|c4|c5.
Please kindly provide the solution for this ASAP.

In case you are using Oracle 9i or higher you should better create a DIRECTORY rather then setting utl_file_dir,e.g.
SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY log_dir AS '/appl/gl/log';
SQL> GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY log_dir TO DBA; http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/u_file.htm#ARPLS069

Can't redirection output of daemon to a text file

I'm just trying to save some data from the command:
sudo /etc/rc.d/laptop-mode status
using
sudo /etc/rc.d/laptop-mode status > ~/lapstatus.out
I am able to pipe the stdout to less easily using:
sudo laptop-mode status |less
I'm not getting anything but a 2 byte file that's empty.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to enlighten me.

jasonwryan wrote:
I would try
cat /etc/rc.d/laptop-mode status > ~/.lapstatus.out
Actually catting out the daemon huh? Well I suppose it's worth a shot. Let me try.
Well no, just as I suspected it actually cats the code out (not the output of the program) in that case.

Slow Crystal Reports Export to Text

Post Author: shfisher
CA Forum: General Feedback
Previously posted on Legacy Products forum: We have a fairly complex report written in Crystal 8 that displays
within seconds in the viewer. A user routinely exports this report to
a text file, and until approximately three weeks ago, the export also
took less than 30 seconds. Now the export is taking approximately
three minutes. I have seen similar posts on this topics but no
solutions. Are records queried differently for an export? What could
have caused this sudden slowdown?

Hello,
No, we don't have support having any command line options when exporting. There are likely third party tools out there that may give you the option though.
One other way may be to export it to PDF format and then use Adobe API's to add the /E option when saving the output file.
Thank you

Hello Neha,
Though i have been working with APDs since some time. But havent actually been involved in designing one. But you could find many documents for the APD on web. And as far as i know, you will need a program to save file from APD.
I have a document which explains how you can use APD in process chain. can forward you the same if you want.
I am sorry as i wasnt of much help for you, as i havent worked on similar requirement before, but this thing just striked in my mind.
