Is it possible to save a report to a file in background job?

Hi,
I want to save a report as a file every day, is it possible to do it by background job?
Thanks.

thanks all of you,
I don't went to save the file manually.
I only want to a function just like archiving function which can save file in background job.
I can develop a program to save a report as file in background job,but I have to develop a program for every report,I want to know is there any standard function for it, just like throwing the report to spool.

Save a report (or text file) in pdf format?

Hi,
I like to save a kind of log file in a non changeable format like pdf.
I'm using the DSC module under LabVIEW are there some possibilities?
Or is there a chance to save text file into a postscript file?
Thanks for help,
martin

Hallo Martin,
to be able to write to a PDF file you need some extra software that is able to create those files.
Most of those programs are installing themselves as printer drivers, so if you want to wrate a table into a pdf file you will have to create a report and print it. LabVIEW insrtalls a couple of exaples regarding report generation, online I found an example for "printing" the frontpanel screen into a PDF.

Save a report 6i PDF file onto the database server

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement, whereby I need to generate a PDF report and then send that report via Email. The problem I have is my email procedure is looking for the file which is in the directory on the server where the database is stored, While the PDF is generated on the local machine. Im using reports 6i.
I know in reports 10g the file is generated on the report server itself but Im afraid same is not the case with reports 6i.
The other problem is the local machine does not have the access to the directories on the server. I tried to change the directory path in the database to look at the C:\ but it doesn't work, it says invalid directory, I think the PDF report file needs to be on the server where the database is installed. Is there a way I can pick the PDF file from the local machine instead of the server where the database is installed?
Im not too sure what is the way forward, All I need is to generate a PDF file and mail it.
The procedure that I'm using to send the email attachment is :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE email_attachment(
xfilename VARCHAR2,
xloc VARCHAR2) IS
conn utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
conn := Send_Mail.begin_mail(
sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Attachment Test',
mime_type => Send_Mail.MULTIPART_MIME_TYPE);
Send_Mail.attach_text(
conn => conn,
DATA => '<b>This is a test Email.<b>',
mime_type => 'text/html');
send_mail.attach_base64_fromfile(
conn => conn,
filename => xfilename,--'test.pdf',
floc => xloc,--'File directory',
mime_type => 'application/octet',
inline => TRUE);
Send_Mail.end_attachment( conn => conn );
Send_Mail.end_mail( conn => conn );
Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
in the forms 6i email with attachment can be sent only through database folder/file. From the client it can not be.
Here is one alternate solution.
1. Share the folder from db server which is used for email directory and keep changeable for everyone.
2. After generate the report like RUN_PRODUCT keep the below command.
HOST('XCOPY CLIENT_PATH\FILE_NAME SERVER_PATH');
3. This command will transfer file from client to db server. After this execute your procedure which is sending email.
Hope it will work.

Export of report/query to a file for background job runs

I have a requirement to automate the export of a report or query to a file so when a background job runs a new file is generated to the drive.
This cannot be a customized solution for 1 report, it must be able to adapt to other reports or queries as well.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Thamina

Hi,
SAP have created a standard program RSTXPDFT4 to convert your Sapscripts spools into a PDF format.
Specify the spool number and you will be able to download the sapscripts spool into your local harddisk.
It look exactly like what you see during a spool display.
Please note that it is not restricted to sapsciprts spool only. Any reports in the spool can be converted using the program 'RSTXPDFT4'.

Save output report as .pdf file in a folder

Hi,
I have to create a report which has output in .pdf format, and then save that .pdf in a particular folder, which is already there.. Can anybody help ?

thanks a lot..
one more ques on request priorities:
Can we set the priority in Oracle Reports ? Say, for example, we have scheduled weekly reports ( around 40 - 50 reports) that runs 1st of every month at 9AM. While these reports are still running , we want to run an adhoc report , which canbe for last one week. Can we set the priority such that adhoc report is executed first ? Or is it something like they both will run parallel in different sessions ?
I have posted this as a separate thread, but not getting replies..

How to save excel report as CSV file with ActiveX

Hi,
I'm trying to save my excel test report as a CSV file using ActiveX and I'm having difficulty getting started. I can't find an invoke node method that enables CSV file conversion.
Can anyone shed light on this? See attached screenshot.
Thanks

As long as you are using the Report Generation Toolkit, there is no need to use ActiveX for the purpose of saving the Excel file -- Save Report will do that for you. You can then export (as text) all of the Excel data and use the Write Spreadsheet File to make the .CSV file. Here is how I would rewrite the final bits of your code --
I cleaned up the wires around Excel Easy Table a bit. You'll see I made a VI Icon for Replace Filename, which does (I think) a nicer job of self-documenting than showing its Label. To make the filename, add the correct extension (.xlsx for Excel, .csv for CSV), use Build Path to combine Folder and Filename, and wire to Save Report.
The next two functions add the Extract Everything and Write to Spreadsheet, using a Comma as a separator, which makes a CSV copy for you.

Save alv report as excel file directly from program

Hello guys,
I require this in my work.
I want to save the ALV report tat is to be generated in the filepath that is given in the selection screen (want to save it locally eg: my windows desktop) and in the layout which is also given in the selection screen.
your comments will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Johny

Hi Johny,
Actually we have an option to download report output in ALV but it does not download the specified on Selection-screen. For this Create on button for Excell download by setting PF status. and use USER_COMMAND event to trigger when u click on the button and download data to specified path.
1.
declare events table like this.
data :
      i_events type slis_t_event,
      w_events like line of i_events.
2.
Build events table .
w_events-name = 'USER_COMMAND' .
w_events-form = 'USER_COMMAND' .
append w_events to i_events.
clear w_events.
w_events-name = 'PF_STATUS_SET' .
w_events-form = 'PF_STATUS_SET' .
append w_events to i_events.
clear w_events.
3.
pass this events table through REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
4.
USER_COMMAND and PF_STATUS_SET call back subroutines should be like this in your case. These are nowhere called using PERFORM statement in ur program.
5.
PF_STATUS_SET' subroutine should be like this.
*&      Form pf_status_set
form pf_status_set    using extab type slis_t_extab.
set pf-status 'STATUS1' excluding g_extab.
"If you write like above Standard status will be gone.
"For that u have to copy standard status of any ALV program which has standard status.
"1. goto SE41 tcode. give program SAPLKKBL and status :STANDARD_FULLSCREEN .
2.Click on the Copy status button below program is ur program and status ur program status.
3. After that create your own button for Excel downlod.
endform.                    "pf_status_set
6.
USER_COMMAND subroutine should be like this.
*&      Form user_command
form user_command using ucomm like sy-ucomm
                  selfield type slis_selfield.
case ucomm .

How can i save a report in a file

Hi!
I am generating a report with parameters.
Then when I want to save it to a file, it saved the all data without paying attention to the parameter.
Example: Imagine that I want to query the all people who likes blue colour:
in the report I see:
Name Colour
John Blue
Anna Blue
Beth Blue
and in the file I see:
Name Colour
John Blue
Path Orange
Evelyn red
Anna Blue
Leo blank
Beth Blue
Do you know why this happend?
Thanks in advnced
VBL

What reports version are you using ?
What executable are you using ?
For rwbuilder, when you generate to file, you should be able to see a paramform in which you should enter param values
For rwrun in command line you need to enter params like this
...other cmd line params ... param1=value1 param2=value2
etc

Is it possible to save Multisim version 13 circuit files so that they can be used in Multisim version 12?

I have a circuit files created in version 13 of Multisim and would like to be able to give then to my students to work. However, the school has only installed version 12 of Multisim. Is there a way to save the version 13 files so that they are useable in version 12?

Hi there,
Unfortunately no. Multisim is not backwards compatible. Version 13 files can't be opened in v.12.

ls_fieldcat-fieldname     = 'VERSN1'.
ls_fieldcat-outputlen     = '02'.
ls_fieldcat-seltext_l     = text-u06.
ls_fieldcat-seltext_m     = text-u06.
ls_fieldcat-seltext_s     = text-u06.
ls_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = text-u06.
append ls_fieldcat to lt_fieldcat.
clear ls_fieldcat.
ls_fieldcat-fieldname     = 'QTY01'.
ls_fieldcat-datatype      = 'QUAN'.
ls_fieldcat-outputlen     = '13'.
ls_fieldcat-seltext_l     = w_wkhdr01.
ls_fieldcat-seltext_m     = w_wkhdr01.
ls_fieldcat-seltext_s     = w_wkhdr01.
ls_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = w_wkhdr01.
append ls_fieldcat to lt_fieldcat.
clear ls_fieldcat.
use Fieldcat-DATATYPE.
Thanks & Regards,

PASS DATA TO A REPORT BEING SCHEDULED AS A BACKGROUND JOB

Moderator message: please do not use ALL CAPITALS in your subject
Hi All,
I need to pass some data to a Zreport_submit which I would be calling using SUBMIT statement from another Zreport_main. The report being called through the SUBMIT statement i.e. Zreport_submit will be scheduled as a backgroung job i.e. using addition VIA JOBNAME xx JOBNUMBER yy.
How can I pass data from Zreport_main to Zreport_submit. There are 2 values that are required to be passed.
Thanks-
Harmeet,

Hi Harmeet,
What I get from your question is
is that u need to call a program using SUBMIT statement in the background and u need to feed some values into the program may be into the selection-acreen so u can use
SUBMIT <prog name>
with parameter1 = value1 .
where parameter1 is the part of selection-acreen of the prog which was calld.
Thnks
Sahil

Is it possible to save a report to a file in background job?
