Issue when creating a CSV file

Stupid issue but I've tried to fix it all day and it's not working...
I need to create a CSV file made up of 3 columns, 2 number and 1 char. The char column is a company name that has spaces in it. When I run the query in SQL Developer, the char column looks fine. When I run in in BiPub as a CSV, I get double-quotes around the char column. It looks fine if I would look at it as DATA or any other format.
I can't use the REPLACE function because there's nothing wrong with the data.
We're using BI Pub v.10.1.3.4.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

First I tried using a basic rtf file and just selected CSV as the type. Then I tried using the 'e-text template' and selecting CSV, same result. Now I'm trying to use an .xsl file instead of a .rtf to see if that works.

Issue when I upload CSV file for insert contact list on Cisco Attendant Console Advanced

Hi Friends,
I have error "Provided file is not valid CSV File" when I upload CSV file to Cisco Attendant Console Advanced system. I'm not sure what happen about my CSV. My purpose is insert contact list to system and create CSV base on documentation.
Anyone have idea to solve this issue please kindly help me.
Thanks

You are right, whenever Cisco device boots, the IOS files gets loaded on the DRAM.
But in this process, some temporary files are also generated which gets saved in the flash/Disk, that’s the only reason you got these error messages. It’s not recommended at all to have less space in the Flash than what is recommended on Cisco.com. I would say please remove some files from Disk and have minimum 256 MB flash otherwise your router may drop into rommon mode at the time of next reload.
Well, it’s good to upgrade the bootstarp image too. Currently you are running 15.X IOS code, I would say run 15.X bootstarp image on the box.
You may download bootstarp image for 7206VRX NPEG2 from the link below:-

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Getting CLOB fron Database then creating a CSV File

Hi,
I am trying to read a CLOB for the DB in my Backing Bean with the help of EJB.
The code in my backing bean is:
char[] strReportContent = reportObj.getReportText();The API where the accessors for getReportText() is;
@Lob
@Column(name="REPORT_TEXT")
public char[] getReportText()
    return reportText;
public void setReportText(char[] reportText)
    this.reportText = reportText;
}The problem is that when I do a system out on strReportContent I get a garbage value and not what is in the DB.
Please Help.
Then to render it on the CSV the code is:
// Init servlet response.
      response.reset();
      response.setContentType("plain/text");
      // response.setContentLength(input.available());
      response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
                         "inline; filename=\"" + selectedReportId.getReportName() + "\"");
      output =
          new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
char[] strReportContent = reportObj.getReportText();
output.write(strReportContent.toString().getBytes(), 0, strReportContent.length);

Hi,
I am not removing any zeroes . I created the same file in .txt format and XI was able to write the value 008.2010 to the txt file.
I suppose this has somehting to do with excel file properties . By default when we add 008.2010 in the excel sheet , it takes only 8.201. We need to change the format to "text" manually in the excel file to take in zeroes as well.
So , i really dont know how to make sure that the excel file properties does not truncate zeroes while XI is creating the CSV file.

Performance issues when creating a Report / Query in Discoverer

Hi forum,
Hope you are can help, it involves a performance issues when creating a Report / Query.
I have a Discoverer Report that currently takes less than 5 seconds to run. After I add a condition to bring back Batch Status that = Posted we cancelled the query after reaching 20 minutes as this is way too long. If I remove the condition the query time goes back to less than 5 seconds.

Is there anything i can do in Discoverer Desktop / Administration to avoid this problem.

Hi Rod,
I've tried the condition (Batch Status||'' = 'Posted') as you suggested, but the qeury time is still over 20 mins. To test i changed it to (Batch Status||'' = 'Unposted') and the query was returned within seconds again.
Ive been doing some more digging and have found the database view that is linked to the Journal Batches folder. See below.
I think the problem is with the column using DECODE. When querying the column in TOAD the value of P is returned. But in discoverer the condition is done on the value Posted. Im not too sure how DECODE works, but think this could be the causing some sort of issue with Full Table Scans. How do we get around this?

Issue while generating a CSV file through Oracle.

Hi,
I am generating a CSV file using oracle stored procedure.
In an Oracle procedure I need to create a CSV file, which contains the data of a select query, and then emailing this file. Problem is that one of the field contains comma eg ('ABC,DE'). Now in the CSV file 'ABC' is shown in the one cell and 'DE' is shifted to the adjacent cell which is not required..
Thanks.

Hi Welcome,
If you data contains comma then make ~ as your delimeter.
or repalce all the commas form your data.
select replace(column_name,',','') from table_name; /* before writing to the file */Regards,

Create a csv file and send it in an email

In coldfusion, is it possible to create a csv file and send it in an email, without ever saving that file on the hard drive?

Yes, you can create an email attachment without writing a file to disk. This feature was introduced in CF 8.0.1.
I've posted a sample to a previous thread on the forums.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2123297
See the CFMAILPARAM section of CF 8.0.1 release notes for attachments without a file on disk.

How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

Hi
i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
Note The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
The error i am getting while importing this file:
Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
Assistance appreciated.

It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
It should be as follows
{Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60

When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls

When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls
If I rename the file, it opens just fine, if I don't it opens all in one column.
I had found a fix on my old macbook, but just got a new MBP and it's happening again.
Can't remember or find where the fix is.
Thanks!

At least I think that's how I stopped it - it hasn't happened since!

Hi,
I logged bug however information is not enough to locate the problem.
You can use export to reporting schema in order to get your model exported - in database in that case.
We are not going to extend "export to CSV file" functionality any further - it'll be as it is now.

Zero is getting truncated while XI is creating a CSV file

Hi,
Scenario is IDOC to File.
in the IDOC i get some Serial number as 00000007856465 in the output CSV file i need this value as 07856465
Here when i run this map in the ESR Message mapping i could see 07856465 this value fine but while posting at the output directory the values are dropped with zeros truncated.
in the output CSV file -- the value is -- 7856465
Could you please help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks,
--Sai.

Hi Sai Krishna,
As said by Bhaskar, use Formatnum function or UDF in your mapping. So that you would be able to get the 0's in the output.
I would prefer to go with FormatNum function.
