My page generates an Excel file but sometimes fails if the page loads to slowly...

I'm having a problem generating an Excel file using CF and
looping over a bunch of queries to get a table of data to display
to the user. This is slow but works fine except for an instance
recently where the page seems to be loading but after a few minutes
it stops and says "the page cannot be displayed". The error leads
me to believe it is a server error and not a CF error but I'm not
sure. I don't have timeout checked in my CF Admin so that should
mean that I can request pages for as long as I need to right?
I'm using the cfheader and cfcontent to dynamically generate
an Excel spreadsheet from my HTML. I tried using the cfflush tag
and that seemed to help since it pushes content to the browser
during the page load but it doesn't work with the cfheader and
cfcontent tags.
So then I tried using the cfsavecontent tag and then save the
HTML to a file but again I couldn't use the cfflush tag inside the
cfsavecontent tag so now I'm stuck.
The page DOES load when I run in on my local machine with MX
6.1 Developer Edition and SQL Server Personal Edition. It DOES NOT
work when I run it on my production server that then calls my
separate database server. I'm wondering if there is a timeout (non
CF) set somewhere on the productions server or the database server
or if there is some sort of limit to the amount of data you can
transfer between servers?
I'm totally stumped now so any advice is greatly
appreciated!

That didn't work for me and the page times out right about 5
minutes (300 seconds). I don't have timeout checked in the CF
Administrator so I don't think it is CF that is causing the
timeout. I checked IIS also and the timeout is set to 900 seconds.
Is there a possibility that SQL Server has some sort of
connection limit and I'm using too many cfquery tags? If anyone has
experienced a similar problem I would really appreciate the help,
thanks.

I want to create a document/spreadsheet (whichever) that I can send to agencies to type in information for work projects. Any ideas? I have an Excel file but it does not convert over very well and I am having trouble making changes to it.

Need to create a new spreadsheet or be able to edit the one I have.
I use this spreadsheet as a work order form for social service agencies. They enter name address etc., and then there are various work projects that they can select as well.
The one I have from the organization I work with is an excel file but it does not convert over very well. Instead of being 7 pages it is more like 11 or so because things run off the page. I am trying to delete certain things and move them over but not working out very well so thought it might be easier to start over fresh.
Is numbers the program to use? If so, any useful tips?

If the form is going to be used on an iPad, Numbers is the only game in town.
Numbers is available for Macs only (and iOS devices). Excel is available for PCs and Macs. If you are in a mixed environment of Windows PCs and Macs and you are using this document as an electronic form, Excel is probably the better choice. Otherwise you will need to export to Excel for the PC users then import from Excel to retrieve their data. The import/export process is not perfect. A file that has been exported then reimported will not be the same as the original file. I would assume social services agencies are almost entirely PC-based.
If the form is to be printed or turned into a PDF for distribution and use by the social services agencies, either Excel or Numbers would do the job but right now Excel might be the better choice. I would have recommended Numbers '09 but I cannot recommend Numbers 3 for anything thsat requires printing until they give us the layout and printing functionality we used to have (editing in Print View, ability to set margins, etc).
If everything else in your department/operation/agency is Windows PC and Microsoft Office based, you would be better off sticking with the standard.
I hope that helps.

Need to send a dashboard page as an excel file in an iBot

Hi,
Is it possible to send a whole dashboard page as an excel file in an iBot/agent?
We're using OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 and have a requirement where different users need to access the dashboard pages via excel. Most of the pages have multiple requests and some also have charts.
The other alternative that we looked at is using the MSOffice plugin but even with that i'm only able to access the individual requests one at a time but not the dashboard page.
Thanks!!

I think I found a workaround that resolves our issue: I send the dashboard page as an html attachment in an iBot and then open it with excel once received (open with).
Thanks for your replies..

Hi all,
I can understand what you say, and I know the Forms version is very old ,but I don't know how to explained to my boss,

I always say : I will upgrade my Forms version......
Because my company use Oracle EBS r12 ,the technical based on Oracle FORM/Report 10g

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but it will not allow me to save it a second time as an excel file. It says that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another

I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file. I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem. Thank you. Jeff

First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
You can find it here:
[Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
CS7 = CC v9
CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

I have tried to vonvert a PDF file to an excell file, but it appears to still be a PDF.

If you have a mac, when you Sync your iphone, it will automaticly Sync your contacts to Adress book on the Mac. If this is not the case, you can take a look in iCloud, maybe you have backed them up there.
This is not a problem caused by iOS6, but by iCloud... it has happend to alot of people, its due to pressing the wrong OK or CANCEL button at a certain pop-up.
Good luck

I need to read Pages files but I can't install Pages on osx 10.6

I need to read Pages files, but I can't install Pages because I have OSX 10.6. Is there some version that will work?

You can get iWork 09 on the net. You haven't had Pages before? Who is sending you Pages documents? Ask them to export the document to Word or Rtf and you will be able to read the documents in TextEdit, which you have on your computer

You're wanting to make certain areas of your spreadsheet un-editable, yes? POI currently does not support this, as mentioned in the FAQ: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/faq.html#faq-5 .

Hi Ajax,
As I know APD tool is available from 3.5 release. You can find documents on APD always on www.service.sap.com/bi.
About reporting agent you have 4 option for precalculate data: HTML for mobile - HTML normal - Data (in this case you only produce data for WEB reporting - Excel (with this option you produce file in MS-Excel that you can subsequently download on your PC or on Network with the Download Scheduler under Start --> Business Explorer --> Download Scheduler).

Create excel file in document library from the data in datatable

Hi ,
I want to generate files dynamically and have then saved to my documetn library instead of some location on the harddisk.
I want to generate and excel file which will read data from the sharepoint list.
Form that data excel will be genereated in the code ,and i want the generated excel directly available in the document library.
I could use open xml of excel itneroperablity for the excel file generation.
How can i do that.

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to gather data from a SharePoint list as an excel file and upload it to a Document Library.
As you said, you can generate an Excel file using the Open XML SDK, I will provide some information about how to get data from SharePoint list and how to upload files
to a Document Library.
About the retrieving data from a SharePoint list, we can use SharePoint Object Model:

Please Help. compare two excel files. Can't get the find command to work

Hello, I'm new to applescript. I'm trying to write a script to compare column B of one excel file to column B of the another excel file.
I will have to had a repeat loop to proceed down the column but I'm stuck on the find command.
Below is some of the code I have so far. The applescript error message is "Microsoft Excel got an error: The object you are trying to access does not exist. It highlights the find column."

Does any one have any hints towards solving this problem? Thank you for any help.

Hi,

Thank you everyone for your help. I attached my code. It works now but kinda slow. Does anyone have any hints on making it faster.
Important : when you use the find command, it's preferable to use the properties ( look in and look at).
Example : find searchRange what searchTerm look in values look at whole
Otherwise, it will search according to the criteria of your last find.
Example, if you uncheck 'Find entire cells only', and after that you run the script,
find column 2 what 10.0 --> match 110.0 or 1110.0 or 310.0, .... , because it look at part.
set screen updating to false : Yes it improves the speed.
Here are my tests (no duplicate values in the Excel column ) on old computer (Powermac G5) .
set screen updating to false without any activate object command
2000 rows --> 3.7 minutes, your script : 11.5 minutes
4000 rows --> 7.5 minutes, your script : 23 minutes
8000 rows --> 15 minutes, your script : 46 minutes
But, it's faster to search through a list without using the Excel find command, no need to set the screen updating, You can continue working on the workbook or another workbook, this will not disturb the script.
Tests on my script :
2000 rows --> 4 seconds
4000 rows --> 21 seconds
8000 rows --> 1.3 minutes
17000 rows --> 6 minutes
Here is the script :

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
Keep copies of the originals.
Another option might be to try to install Perian. Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

Hello Sachin,
You can use the following metalink note:How to Read Data from an EXCEL Spreadsheet into a Form Using Webutil Client_OLE2 (Doc ID 813535.1) and modify it a little bit.
Instead of copy values into forms you can save them in your temporary table.

Adapter Module Error-Sending excel file as an attachment of the mail

Hi ,
My scenario is as follows
1)I am sending an excel file as an attachment of the mail.I need to read that excel attachment as a payload.
So mail adapter is used in sender side.
To configure this, have used standard PayloadSwapBean module with proper module key.
Next to convert excel to XML another custom adapter module is being used.
Both this adapter module , I configured into the CC of sender mail adapter.
The order in which adapter modules are being used in the sender CC are as follows
1)localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
2)localejbs/MDPExcelToXMLConversion
3)sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
MDPExcelToXMLConversion-Custom adapter module written to convert excel to xml.
I am getting the following error
exception caught during processing mail message [4899]com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleException
And also,
no messages in coming MONI of PI.
Pls suggest what to do.
Thanks
Ayan

Shabarish,
Will the ordering in which the adapter modules(In this case there are two-PayloadSwapBean & MDPExcelToXML) are appearing into Module tab of sender adapter matter?
Firstly, what is happenning
1)If I take out the custom adapter module MDPExcelToXML and put only PayloadSwapBean then it is successfully converting mail attachment into the main Payload i.e PayloadSwapBean module is working.
2)Nextly, my local code( i.e java code without including standard Module specific method like ejbActivate(),ejbPassivate(),process() etc etc.)) for MDPExcelToXML is successfuly converting the excel file into the XML file.Then I am making the local code into adapter module specific code and deploying that.
A few question arises here,
Do I need to do any specific configurations here in PI for this particular things.Maybe both the adapter module is clashing with each other.
And also using tracing and logging into my custom adapter module code.Getting the following error,
java.io.IOException: Unable to read entire header; 116 bytes read; expected 512 bytes#
Thanks
