Issue in CSV file attachment.

Hi All,
I am using the FM : SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 for sending mails in CSV format. This CSV file contains some chinese scripts. But when I open the attachment I can see some junk characters instead of that. My SAP version is 4.6c
I searched in all the forums and found these 2 solutions
1. OSS note 633265 .
2. Changed the characters set into simplified and traditional chinese.
Both didnt helped.
Suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Dinesh.

Hi Dinesh,
again: Never use FM : SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 . Go for CL_BCS. Check programs

SOAP Axis sender with CSV file attachment

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where I receive a CSV file attachment from a Web Service post ( i.e a SOAP sender with attachment). I decided to use SOAP with Servlet(Axis) protocol, since standard SOAP sender does not allow modules to be used.
I am able to test this interface through SOAPUI with attachment to the point where I can get the attachment payload as my main payload in IE, but it fails in mapping since CSV needs to be converted to XML. I have following queries for proceeding ahead with this scenario:
1. How do I convert the CSV attachment to XML inorder for mapping to be used in IE. Is there a standard axis handler available for this ???? Also where should this handler be called in the sequence of Axis modules ???
2. Can I use MessageTransformationBean for converting plain to XML ??? If yes where should this module be called in the sequence of Axis modules. I tried using this module between the CallSapAdapter and the first AdapterBean but it returns exception in SOAPUI saying " Messaging exception: No Main"
3. Is there a blog available which illustrates about using additional modules/handlers in Axis. I have had a look at the FAQ note of Axis but it just gives the overview.
Thanks.

BEA 9.2 Portal issue: downloaded CSV file contains embedded html code

We have J2EE application using BEA 9.2 Portal framework, and one of the page has feature to generate report( in pop up window) in CSV file format. As per the history from previous developer, BEA 8.1 didn't have this issue but, after mirgration to 9.2, they started having file download error( incomplete contents ..). To overcome this issue they commented out setting content length to HttpServletResponse as attached below, but this, now, causes html page source code of the parent page( where submit button is clicked to generate csv file report) being rendered along with actual report in the downloaded CSV file. Has anyone have this sort of issue? If so, can you please share your thoughts? or any thoughts in general?
BEA 9.2 with Portal framework, JDK 15, JSP, Beehive NetUI, Sun Microsystem Solaris server
Here is the source code that avoids setting content length and reasoning behind it..
private static void setResponseHeadersForCSVFile(HttpServletResponse response, String filename, int contentLength)
String mimeType = mimeTypes.getContentType(filename);
response.reset();
response.setContentType(mimeType);
// DON'T explicitly set the content length, since the length of the String or StringBuffer that contains
// the contents of the CSV file will be character encoded when it is actually written to the output stream, based
// upon the character encoding of this JVM App Server's settings. So let the JVM App Server framework apply the character
// encoding AND set the final and truly correct content length header at the time the contents of the String or StringBuffer are truly
// streamed back to the user.
//response.setContentLength(contentLength);
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\"; size=" + contentLength);
}

1) Yes, the old content.tld is available as part of a web library module as a taglib.tld file. The module is: wlp-services-web-lib.war, which can be found in your bea/weblogic92/portal/lib/modules directory.
2) The new API is accessible from the ContentManagerFactory class. This provides access to INodeManager, ITypeManager, ISearchManager, etc. The new API is contained within the com.bea.content.federated package. The 8.1.x API in the com.bea.content.manager package including RepositoryManager, NodeOps, SearchOps, etc. has been deprecated with 9.2.
3) Yes, via the new I*Manager implementations. The entitlement support is for application-scoped visitor roles. Make sure you're using the ISearchManager when performing search operations. This will ensure secure results are returned.

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using Transform.class ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

CSV File attachment in Receiver Mail Adapter

Hi Experts ,
                               mine is a proxy to mail scenario Information from proxy needs to be converted to CSV file and to be send across in the form of attachment to multiple recievers.
   I would request best suggestions from experts.
Regards,
Arnab .

Hi,
first approach is,
   1. in cilent proxy report to call 'GUI_UPLOAD' function module ,    in exporting, filetype = 'txt', filename.
second approach is,
   2. you can you message transformation bean in you mail receiver communication channel.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/0b2c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
you want to send multiple receivers ,
3. In the Receiver Determination, you need to select " Extended" in the Type of Receeiver determination.

Javax.mail CSV file attachment corrupt?

I'm having some trouble with attaching a file to an outgoing email, it's a CSV file and when it is uploaded/attached to the email, it becomes "corrupt". Excel will still open it but if I open it in notepad the formatting is noticeably messed up. I need it to retain all the correct return carriages and line feeds, which I believe are what are getting mingled. (Another program must read it and this formatting is messing everything up).
Here's the code:
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart =
                 new MimeBodyPart();
         //fill message
         messageBodyPart.setText(outBoundMessage);
         Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
         multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
         if (fileAttachment != null) {
            // Part two is attachment
            MimeBodyPart attachment = new MimeBodyPart();
            attachment.attachFile(fileAttachment);
            attachment.setFileName(fileAttachment.getName());
            attachment.setHeader("type", "text/csv");
            multipart.addBodyPart(attachment);
         // Put parts in message
         message.setContent(multipart);The other parts of the message are being created and attached where necessary. My guess is that it's not transferring in binary? I've never really done this sort of thing so if anyone could lend a hand and show me how to properly attach files so they don't get altered in anyway I would greatly appreciate it.

Setting required to process incomming Email with CSV file attached

Dear all,
We are having a scenario where in the supplier receives a PO confirmation CSV file from the download center as an Email attachment. The supplier updates the file by confirming PO's and replies back. The CSV file needs to update the confirmed PO's in SNC.
The SO50 settings are in place but still we are not able to receive the Email back in SNC. Any suggestion on what settings we need in SNC to receive and process the CSV file?
thanks,
mahehs

Hi,
You can use the upload center to process the changed data. Isnt that helpful?

Crystal Reports 9.2.0.448 Formatting and exporting issues on CSV file

Hello,
when starting export to csv, excel or text - out of the crystal reports preview - content gets lost, i.e. crystal cuts parts of the csv text.
If I try exporting to word or pdf the whole content is being exported.
Can anybody tell me how to fix that problem?
Is this a known issue? Does there probably already exist a hotfix? I couldn't find any.
Would be great, if someone helped me!
Monika

Hi Monika,
No more fixes done to CR 9 since it's so old. Go to this link and download any patches you can find for CR 9:
http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
If that doesn't work try increasing the field width or using the Can Grow option. If that doesn't work then try downloading a trial version of CR XI R2 or Cr 2008 and test again. I suggest you try this on a PC other than your main PC just in case. We support side by side installs but you never know what it may do depending on what else you have installed.
Thank you

>
I am getting correct data in csv format but for Z_Site_Address some the vales of cell are coming to next row.
Z_Site_Address
SBC
345 N San JoaquinThat is because, as Jeneesh said, your data has embedded record delimiters. That data above may LOOK wrong but it is EXACTLY what your column contained.
That often happens when an application uses a MEMO field that lets a user type in multiple lines for a long text description or, in your case, for an address.
If you don't want embedded record delmiters in your DB data you should remove them when your app saves the data to begin with. If you convert those characters to spaces in the file and load the file again you will NOT have the same content you have to begin with. That means that app field will display one long line of characters to the user.
That is the price you pay for using delimited files; by default any embedded delimiters will cause the created file to be unloadable.
Be aware that if you are creating a COMMA delimited file then any embedded commas can cause a problem also unless the field is enclosed in double quotes. That is because when you read or try to load the file those 'extra' comma will be interpreted as a FIELD separator.
For example an address like '123 Maple St, Apt 111' will appear to be TWO values: '123 Maple St' and 'Apt 111'.

What is the full database version (I suspect 10g+) ? In your control file, you have specified
>
fields terminated by ","
>
yet your last field in the third row does not have this delimiter. 9i may have been forgiving and used the CR/LF as a separator, but the database version needs the delimiter.

How can I email using UTL_SMTP with a csv file as an attachment?

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 as an attachment is not in the recognizable format

Hi All,
I have a requirement to send a csv file as an e-mail attachment. For this, I am collecting the required data into the final internal table and converted this final internal table data into CSV format and then sending this in the mail as csv file attachment using the functiona module 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'. Program is working fine and mail is coming to receiver's inbox.
Well.. Now the problem is, I am getting the message while opening the csv file as "The file is not in a recognizable format." and if we say OK... then it is opening. Now how can we avoid coming of this message while opening the file.
Please advice.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Ramesh.

CSV file generation issue

Hello All,
We are facing below issue during CSV file generation :
Generated file shows field value as 8.73E+11 in output and when we are clicking inside this column result shown is approximate of the correct value like 873684000000. We wish to view the correct value 872684000013.
Values passes from report program during this file generation are correct.
Please advice to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

There is nothing wrong in your program, it is the property of excel that if the value in the cell is larger than
default size it shows in output of that format.
