OBIEE11g: download report in pipeline (|) or charat (^) delimiter format

Question

Hi,
Need help with following customer queries for OBIEE 11g:
Can a report be downloaded in pipeline (|) delimiter format or charat (^) delimiter format.
There was a Bug 12403932 : CUSTOMIZE DOWNLOAD FORMAT. Is it fixed in the 11.1.1.5?
Thanks & Regards,
Priyanka Sharma

Answer 1

I noticed that in the moment that IDM is asking me if i want to save
and where to save, i wasn't logged in IDM, so i'm able to see only the
task that is executed with success and the list of users in the task
but any CSV or request to save CSV file.The following method converts a finished report to a string in CSV format:
  public static String printReportsAsCSV(String taskName, String sep, Locale locale)
    throws WavesetException {
    TaskManager tm = Server.getServer().getTaskManager();
    RepositoryResult er = tm.getExtendedResult(taskName, null);
    if(er != null && er.hasNext()) {
      ReportRenderer rend = new ReportRenderer(locale);
      StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
      while(er.hasNext()) {
        TaskResult tr = (TaskResult)er.next().getObject();
        WavesetResult res = tr.getResult();
        if(res != null && res.getResults() != null && res.getResults().size() > 0) {
          Report report = (Report)res.getResult("report");
          rend.renderToSeparatedText(report, sb, sep);
          return sb.toString();
    return null;
  }Usage example:
System.out.println(printReportsAsCSV("All Admin Roles", ",", Locale.getDefault()));The report is stored in the repository as a TaskResult object, so you
can also export it in XML form and process with XSL or something.
