OdiFileAppend tool issue with new line character?

Hello ODI experts,
I am using OdiFileAppend tool in a package to concatenate multiple files with same structure to a new file. ODI is installed in windows and also files exists in Windows only.
OdiFileAppend "-FILE=C:\ODI_WORK\FILE_LOAD_DIR\PROCESS_DIR\*.*" "-TOFILE=C:\ODI_WORK\FILE_LOAD_DIR\PROCESS_DIR\CONCAT_FILE.txt" "-CASESENS=NO" "-OVERWRITE=YES" "-HEADER=1" "-KEEP_FIRST_HEADER=YES"
First File:
CST_ID,CST_CODE,CST_NAME,CST_STATUS,CST_ID_PAC,CST_ID_CHO
-3,TWO,TXTFILE,A,864,
second File:
CST_ID,CST_CODE,CST_NAME,CST_STATUS,CST_ID_PAC,CST_ID_CHO
-2,ONE,TXTFILE,A,864,
output file by using OdiFileAppend tool is as below with two lines:
CST_ID,CST_CODE,CST_NAME,CST_STATUS,CST_ID_PAC,CST_ID_CHO
-2,ONE,TXTFILE,A,864,\-3,TWO,TXTFILE,A,864,\
How can we modify the tool to append records in a new line?
Thanks

Hi Murali ,
You are facing a Bug .
The Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) defect is referenced as <<Bug 6518478>> <ODIFILEAPPEND DOES NOT WORK AS EXPECTED>.
When Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) OdiFileAppend/SnpsFileAppend tool is used with -HEADER parameter set to 1 or higher, the resulting file is incorrect and a backslash ("\") character is automatically generated between the appended files.
This Bug is fixed in ODI 11gR1
If the generated file is to be used as Source Datastore in an Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) Integration Interface, to work around the behavior:
1. Appending the files using the OdiFileAppend/SnpsFileAppend tool without the -HEADER parameter (or use "-HEADER=0").
2. Then, in your Integration Interface, apply a Filter to the corresponding Datastore in order to remove the unused headers.
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Problem with new-line-character and java.io.LineNumberReader under AIX

Hi folks,
I got the following problem: I wrote a little parser that reads in a plain-text, tabulator-separated, line-formatted logfile (and later on safes the data to a 2-dimensional Vector). This logfile was originally generated by an AIX ksh script, however, I copied it on my Windows machine to work with it (for I'm using a Java editor that runs under Win Systems).
For any reason, Windows, and what is worse Java too, seems not to recognize correctly the new-line character (in the API it is written that this should be a newline '\n' or a carriage-return '\r' or one followed by the other) that marks the end of a line in the logfile.
Also, when I'm opening the logfile with the "Notepad"-editor, this special character does not seem to be recognized, every line is inserted right after the other.
On the other side, when I open the logfile with the built-in editor in the CMD-Shell ("Dos-shell"), the newline chars seem to be recognized correctly.
But when start my parser on the AIX-machine the newline does not seem to be recognized correctly again.
I tried to read in the logfile with MS-Excel and safe it as a plain-text, tabulator-separated, line-formatted logfile again, with such files my parser works fine both on the AIX as it does on Windows.
Any ideas? Anybody got over the same problem already?

Under windows, text files' lines are usually delimited by \r\n,
under Unix/Linux/AIX etc. \n
and under Mac \r.
I recommend to use the following editors, which are capable to handle files with Unix and Windows-styled line-delimiters or convert between these types:
Programmer's File Editor (PFE; available on Windows)
The Nirvana Editor (http://www.nedit.org/; available on Unix, MAcOS, Windows)
(BTW good old vim can handle that too. Transferring text files to windows in order to edit them, even using Excel for this purpose means your being a UNIX newbie, (I mean no offense by writing this) so vim is probably beyond your reach for the moment.)
Java normally assumes the platform's line delimiters where it is running, so if you transferred the file from Unix to Windows might be distrurbing.

Configuration tool issue with new release

With this new release - September 2013 - We have found that when doing find products (as opposed to enter sku) the option to add seems to work - it gives a message that its added. But when returning to config the SKU has not been added. Its a bit anyoying as you then have to re-enter the SKU to add the product. - Several staff have observed this at our site.. Others ?

Hi Tom,
At SQL Plus,
You have to use the -(Hyphen) as the concatenation Operator.
For Instance,

ADF: how to insert new line character in column of VO?

Hi Everyone,
Im using Jdev 11G.
i have a VO with 5 columns displayed on the ADF page.(VO has total 8 columns)
1 column is the combination of 3 columns. i concatenated the 3 columns and added new line character after each column chr(13).
VO query is working very fine in Toad. the columnn displays each concatenated column value after a new line character but the same query is not working in ADF.
The column which is concatenating 3 columns and has to display with new line character is not displaying new line character its just concatenating the 3 values and displaying it on the page.
wat can be the solution for this in ADF?
Thank you.

Setting escape="false" will allow putting html <BR> in the column and it will display ok however if your table allows export to excel the <BR> gets exported and displays as text in your exported file. Also & will export as & To prevent that, use your original text without the escape=false setting and insert LF or CR (10 or 13 character), then add inline style of white-space: pre-line; to column or to style class in your skin. That will cause all line feeds to wrap but will export to excel without mixing html in the export.

Force Windows New Line Character

Hi,
I've a problem with new line character. I am in Windows platform but
when I write a file with a BufferedWitter with println I obtain the
character "\n" x0D like separator (Unix Separator). My System property
line.separator is "\r\n".
Can someone tell me how can I obtain files with the correct \r\n
Windows new line character?.
Thanks in advance.

Resolved
The problem was another process that automatically was replacing "\r\n" form "\n" and I don�t know it.
All works fine.
Thanks a lot.

Problem with CDATA and new line character

I parse a xml document with org.w3c.dom, the document contain a CDATA section in which there are more lines of text, each line is terminated with the new line character (\n).
Example:
<nota>
<[CDATA[
first line
second line
third line
]]>
</nota>
When a parse this node:
Text txt_nota=(Text)elm_nota.getFirstChild();
String nota=txt_nota.getData();
the value returned is one string with no new line characters, example:
"first linesecond linethird line"
what's wrong?

Because i use the string nota into a jsp page and i print the string nota into a textarea and the text is with no newline, example:
<textarea name="nota" rows="4" cols="60"><%= nota %></textarea>
the text into textarea is:
first linesecond linethird line
but i want that the text displayed into textarea is equal the text into the CDATA section:
first line
second line
third line

New-line character in stacked message pop-up

I have run into a brick wall with this situation--
Our clients are running Client/Server Forms 6i, and Web Forms 6i using Patch 10. They are about to upgrade web forms to the latest version 9.0.4.1.0 (10g).
We have a few PLL routines that use the stacked message method: Message('text here'); Message(' ',no_acknowledge);to display important error messages to the user. It is especially useful to display the multiple ORA- errors when an unexpected server error occurs.
Throughout all versions of Client/Server forms, and even in our old version of Web forms, I can use chr(10) or another character to start each error message on a new line.
Somewhere after Patch 10, Oracle has removed that capability. Instead, pop-up stacked messages word-wrap into a multi-line message, and display the new-line character as a box indicating an unprintable character. Our nicely formatted messages are a mess!
I have been told I should use an alert, which supports chr(10) as the new line. However, this is a PLL routine, and I would have to create an alert in hundreds of forms just to accommodate this short-sightedness. The changes and subsequent testing and release issues make this an unworkable solution.
I am clueless as to why this feature would be removed. Oracle support is treating it as an enhancement request. Any ideas?

Steve,
If you really have hundreeds of forms ... create one more - to display your messages. Make it modal and nice looking. Call it through the library. Design it to work both as [OK] message and as an users responce [Yes]/[No]/[Cancel].
And honestly - I don't think message(); message() is the best way to display messages. Whoever designed the application should've think about alerts with standartized naming convention, so they can be handled easily through the PLL.

How to insert new line character?

Hi all,
I have two lines to print.
out.println("Available number of columns="+cols);
out.println("Number of columns must be present=10");My problem is:
i want both the lines to be printed one below the other. But, it is displayed in one single line.....
Can anyone please tell me how to insert new line character?
I tried with \n, '\n' and \r\n but, in vain......
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Ashvini

You should never use "\n" directly.
The line separator character is different on different operating systems.
And putting quotes around it in your string will make absolutely no difference in the JSP.
To find out what the line separator is you should use System.getProperty("line.separator");
The JSPWriter and PrintWriter classes will automatically use this property with a println statement, so a println will always finish with a line separator.
The issue here was that HTML by default ignores all whitespace.
The solutions provided
- use a <br> tag instead of a carriage return
- use <pre> tags, which tells the browser not to ignore whitespace. That can be troublesome in JSP which generates a lot of extraneous carriage returns into the code.

XSLT - inserting new line character

Hi, hoping somebody could help me please.
I'm attempting in 10g to convert a XML purchase-order with multiple detail lines to a CSV delimited output using an XSLT to undertake the transformation. Each line of the purchase-order, namely the header and each detail line must go on separate lines within the CSV file. This means each line must be clearly terminated with a CR-LF.
While I can happily convert the XML purchase-order to CSV format, my experiments in inserting a CR-LF have failed, resulting in all lines collapsed onto one large line.
According to various sources on the Net, inserting the following entry in my XSLT file should generate the new line that I'm looking for:
<xsl:text>ampersand#xa;</xsl:text>(In the above code replace the text "ampersand" with an actual & - I'm unable to display the proper ampersand hash value xa as this HTML page renders it as newline character)
However with no success.
The sample program below shows the conversion process. Anybody any idea on why I'm not seeing the output with new lines?
Your help appreciated.

New line character in File adapter

I am having a receiver file adapter which generates files with multiple lines.
My problem is when the target file is opened in notepad there is no line break and the lines comes as continous string with small rectangle as separator.This fails the target upload program.
When I remove those small squares in notepad and hit enter and then upload it gets uploaded successfully.
Is there any way to have line break so that new line will be generated each time (the documenation says the by-default it adds new line character then why in notepad it opens like a continous string?)
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rajeev

Hello
I know by default File Adapter value is line break. But if I open that generated file in notepad, the record does'nt appear on the new line. Instead at the end of each line there is special character added at the end of each record. When I hit enter and deletes that special character and then try to load that file it gets loaded successfully.
So my problem is how to generate the file will give record on the new line. I tried to give 'nl' as endSeparator.
How to give hexadecimal values? I tried giving '0xHH' but that gives error in File Adapter
"Error: Conversion initialization failed: Exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "HH"
Thanks in advance.

Removing New Line Character in Input file

Hi Experts,
I Have a question about "New Line Character". I searched in SDN before posting this thread, But I didn't get answer.
Question:
Let me say my Client requirement first. After loading the data(Millions of Records) into SAP through LSMW, they asked write a program for validation of those loaded records based on I/P file. I wrote a program and It is success full.
But, the problem is when file is in Application server in 'BIN' format, a new line character(#) is created. While comparing the last record of each line, it doesn't match. How to remove this new line character(#) in I/P file for each line of record? Please see the below records for example
PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRE|   |1870|AR| #
PROVINCIA DE BUENOS AIRE|   |1876|AR| #
BOX 7407 PRINCETON|   |085437407|US|NJ#
5756 2 A   CAPITAL FEDERAL|   |1431|AR|00#
Note: This New line character is not matching the string "#".
Please help me guys, so many objects are related with this concept. I appreciate quick response. Please.
Thanks

                                        IN <l_wa_file_data>-fil_curre WITH ''.
        ENDIF.
While executing the code, the cursor here, simply jumps to next step.
Any enhancements to this code or any new ideas?

Insert and retrieve new line character in DB2

Hi,
I have a requirement in my project where I need to generate flat files to be sent to the bank for validation and for each record type in the flat file, I want to have a line separator inserted in the file. Now, the line seperator is configurable as a system option as per customers needs which is stored in the database (we are using DB2). Even though, I inserted '\n' (New line character) in the system option as a line separator, while retrieving from database through JDBC and appending to the flat file, it is not recognizing it as a new line character and simply appends '\n\ in the flat file.
Please suggest any solution for this.

Why with notepad I don't see 1 record per line? how to solve this problem?
Hi,
this is the problem, seems so clear.
To use wordpad as standard editor is not an answer, neither for me, nor for other people who receives mail.
No solution is a better answer.
