Issue when exporting data to text file in BI Publisher 10.1.3.4

We are trying to export over 900,000 records to a text file from BI Publisher. The reports keep on running while scheduling. But if we reduce the record limit to 200,000 it works fine. Please help us to resolve this issue. Its really urgent.

How are you doing it? With a template? Need more info to be able to help

OBIEE 11g - issue when export to a csv file

Hello,
I have an issue when I try to export to a csv file a report having numeric feild, when I export and open the file in notepad the trailing zeros to the right of decimal points do not show up. When export to another formats (such as excel, pdf) the trailing zeros appears correctly. e..g, 100.00 appears as 100, 100.50 appears as 100.5.
Do you know what can be done in order to have trailing zeros to the right of decimal points to appear in a csv?
Thanks

This is a bug see below.

Export data into text file

Hi all,
I want to export table data into a delimeted text file with SQL*Plus.
[edit]
Sorry, non delimited text file
[edit]
Example:
CREATE TABLE delim (
col_a VARCHAR2(20),
col_b VARCHAR2(40)
value stored in
col_a = FISH_1
col_b = FISH_2
spool x:\test_1.lst
set feedback off;
set HEADING off;
set pagesize 0;
set linesize 60;
select col_a, col_b
from table delim;
spool off;
=>
FISH_1
FISH_2
When I now do the same with
set linesize 62;
the reslut is like this
=>
FISH_1 FISH_2
In the output of the second example there is a blank between col_a and col_b.
I have to export the column data without this one blank between columns.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks and cheers,
ben

Well in your example there is one space between the two columns, anyway you can see in my previous example that there is a set colsep and that show what you want.
But here is another example:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
SQL> create table test (
2 col_a VARCHAR2(5),
3 col_b VARCHAR2(3)
4 );
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> insert into test (col_a, col_b)
2 values('abc', 'FA');
1 row created.
SQL>
SQL> insert into test (col_a, col_b)
2 values('def', 'KL');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into test values ('12345','123');
1 row created.
SQL> rem if you don't want to have a space between the two columns then
SQL> set head off
SQL> set colsep ""
SQL> select col_a, col_b from test;
abc FA
def KL
12345123
SQL> rem if you want to have one space between the two columns then
SQL> set colsep " "
SQL> select col_a, col_b from test;
abc FA
def KL
12345 123
SQL>

Exporting data into text file

Hi!
I use this process in apex to export data from table into txt files with fixed length, so without any delimeter
>
declare
v_file_name VARCHAR2 (2000) := 'test.txt';
id varchar2(9);
worker varchar2(30);
address varchar2(26);
begin
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('application/txt', FALSE);
htp.p('Content-Disposition:attachment;filename="'|| v_file_name|| '"');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
FOR x in (select id id from workers where col00 like '1000')
LOOP
select col01,col02,col03 into id, worker, addressfrom un_web_prenosi where id = x.id;
htp.p(id||worker||address);
END LOOP;
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error:=true;
exception when others then
null;
end;
and I have problem, because if I open file with notepad is everything in one line, but if I open file in notepad++ or I copy content of file in word then I see contents just like it should be (each record in one line). Do you know how can I solve this problem?

I solved my problem. I forget to put chr(13) into htp.p(id||worker||address); so this line must be like htp.p(id||worker||address||chr(13));

Date issue when exporting data to Excel from SSRS report, where date is less than 1/1/1900

Hi,
I am using SSRS report to display the data from database. In that data, One of the column is DATE. when I am exporting to Excel all that dates are displaying fine except 1/1/1800 12:00 AM. Instead of 1/1/1800 12:00 AM it is displaying XXXXXXXXXXXXXX values.
Please help me to fix the issue.
Please let me know if more clarification required.
Thanks In advance.

Hello,
We can use Cstr() function to convert the Date type data to String data. Suppose we have a field named DateTime, please refer to the expression below:
=Cstr(Fields!DateTime.Value)
Then we can get a string type data. There is an article about SSRS expression, you can refer to it.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Exporting historical data to text file with MAX misses columns of data?

I am using Labview 7.1 with DSC module 7.1 and wants to export data to either excel format or .txt.
I have tried this with the historical data export in MAX, and also programmatically with the "write traces to spreadsheet file.vi" available in the DSC module. All my tags in my tag engine file (*.scf) are defined to log data and events. Both the update tag engine deadband and the update database are set to 0 %.
My exported excel or text file seems reasonalbe except that some columns of data are missing. I dont understand
why data from these tags are not in the exported files since they have the same setup in the (.scf) as other tags which are okay exported?
All defined tags can be seen using the NI hypertrend or MAX. Also the ones that are not correctly exported to file.
Appreciate comments on this.
Best regards,
Ingvald Bardsen

I am using LV and DSC 7.1 with PCI-6251 and max 4.2. In fact, just one column of values does not make sense. In attachment, follows the excel exported file. The last of column called ...V-002 that is the problem. I put probes for checking values but them shows correct. When the file is exported that to show values wrong.
The problem of missing values in column i solved putting 0% in field of deadband.
thank you for your help

When I import a text file(comma separated )into a numbers spread sheet all the data goes into one column. Why does the text not go into separate columns based on the commas.

When I import a text file(comma separated) into a numbers spreadsheet all the data goes into one column instead of individual columns based on the comma separators. Excel allows you to do this during the import.. Is there a way to accomplish this in numbers without opening it in Excel and the importing into Numbers.

Your user info says iPad. This is the OS X Numbers forum. Assuming you are using OS X… Be sure the file is named with a .csv suffix.
(I don't have an iPad, so I don't know the iOS answer.)

How to export bulk data in text file

Dear,
We have an requirement to get data from GL CONTAINING below tables, but it's taking lot of time, could you share the best way to get data in text file as quick as possiable.
from gl_je_headers_v,gl_je_lines,GL_JE_CATEGORIES
,gl_code_combinations_v
where gl_je_headers_v.je_header_id = gl_je_lines.je_header_id
AND GL_JE_CATEGORIES.je_category_name = gl_je_headers_v.je_category
and gl_code_combinations_v.CODE_COMBINATION_ID =
gl_je_lines.code_combination_id
and gl_code_combinations_v.CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS_ID = 50349
AND gl_je_headers_v.PERIOD_NAME = 'SEP-2012'

it's based on formatting data in text file
you can use utl_file but it's row by row process your data
you can try spool
as example
spool c:\tmp\myfile.txt
select *
from emp;
spool off;or try export for example in sql developer

Spool SQl data into text file using dynamic sql

Hi,
I am spooling output data into text file using command
select 'select t.mxname,bo.lxtype,t.mxrev'||chr(10)||'from mx_1234567'||chr(10)||
'where <condition>';
here mxname varchar(128),lxtype(128),mxrev(128) all are of varchar type.I want the output in format
e.g Part|1211121313|A
but due to column width the output,I am getting is with spaces.
"Part then blank spaces |1211121313 then blank spaces |A"
how can I remove these spaces between columns.I used set space 0 but not working.
Thanks in advance.
Your help will be appreciated.

Hi Frank,
I have seen your reply for SET LINE SIZE function. But, I could not be able to understand it.
I am facing similar kind of issue in my present project.
I am trying spool more than 50 columns from a table into flat file. Because of more column lengths in few columns, i am getting space. There are so many columns with the same issue. I want to remove that space.so that, data can fit perfectly in one line in .txt file without any wrap text.

Unable to find file error while loading data from text file to Oracle

Hi,
I am having a interface where i am loading a data of Text file to Oracle.
But when i am trying to do this i am getting following error.
ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source FILE connection SAPMM.
Caused By: java.sql.SQLException: File not found: d:/mdb/#General.get_filename
     at com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.file.FileResultSet.<init>(FileResultSet.java:160)

     at com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.file.CommandExecutor.executeCommand(CommandExecutor.java:33)
SAPMM is connection name.
I am using get_filename to get the filename and it is fetching correct value as the this variable refreshes in previous step of this interface.
KM used for loading is File to SQL
What would be cause of this error?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi,
Did a testing and following are the result
I have
A> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Execution of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
Package executes successfully.
B> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Scenario of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
Package executes with erre as it is not able to find the file
C> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Execution of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
4. Now create a scenario of the package , use the generated scenario in another package say main_package
Execution of main_package is successful.

Cant get data from text file to print into Jtable

Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.
void dbTest() {
DataInputStream dis = null;
String dbRecord = null;
String hold;
try {
File f = new File("customer.txt");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
Vector dataVector = new Vector();
Vector headVector = new Vector(2);
Vector row = new Vector();
// read the record of the text database
while ( (dbRecord = dis.readLine()) != null) {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(dbRecord, ",");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
row.addElement(st.nextToken());
System.out.println("Inside nested loop: " + row);
System.out.println("inside loop: " + row);
dataVector.addElement(row);
System.out.println("outside loop: " + row);
headVector.addElement("Title");
headVector.addElement("Type");
dataTable = new JTable(dataVector, headVector);
dataTableScrollPane.setViewportView(dataTable);
} catch (IOException e) {
// catch io errors from FileInputStream or readLine()
System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!" + e.getMessage());
} finally {
// if the file opened okay, make sure we close it
if (dis != null) {
try {
dis.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {

Create a new dimension in business layer from Data source: text file on the web

Hi,
I have a text data source which is published every few hours that is accessible from a certain URL. I follow the instruction given in this http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-43144 - where it shows in great detail how to create the connection, data foundation as well as business layer to create a universe for this type of data.
All is well - I can use this universe in my WEBI doc and display the data.
However, in order for me to merge the data from this universe with another universe, I need to create new dimension based on the data from the text file. The new dimension value is simply the first 4 characters of the Subject found in the text file. The "Subject" dimension is of variant type: varchar.
Following the guide mentioned earlier, the connection is using SAP BO OpenConnectivity driver. And this driver limits severely the SQL statement that I can use to extract a substring of another string. Here's the screenshot of the SQl expression that I can use with this driver
After hours of searching, I cannot find any other connection driver for a text file that's published on a certain URL. The BO OpenConnection driver is the best that I could find.
So here are my problems
1. one of my data source is a text file published on a web
2. the only connection I can create does not allow me to create new dimension in the universe to create an important column "subject ID"
3. I can create the column in webi as a variable. But when I do so, I cannot merge it with existing dimension (webi not allowing to merge these 2 types). And without the merge, the flat file universe with my database universe can't be combined.
I'm using WEBI Rich client version 4.1 SP3 Patch 1. Build 14.1.3.1300
Is there any other idea that you can suggest without requiring to change the extracted data?
Thanks.
With warm regards

Hi Bala,
Were you able to find out a solution for the problem with uploading values for a variable from a text file on the web? I am confronted with the same request from users.
Thanks,
