Outputting BW Reports as .txt files - Will award points

Hello all,
   I am on 3.5, and need to schedule some reports to be run.  Here's the kicker - I need to be able to take the output of the reports and put them out on a server as a .txt file.
   Will happily award points for a good answer...
   Thanks.
Dave Knudson

No - this isn't what I mean.  I need to use a trans code (like rsrt) to output the file as .txt.  I do not want to use the browser.
Here's the deal - right now I IB 300 or so reports a day.  I do not have a pre-calc server, so my only option is HTML.  My sales force hates HTML, and there are security/technical issues with giving them access to the BEx.  What I want to do is pre-run all of these reports, and dump them on a server somewhere.  Then a SQL trool can pick them up and parse them, and put them into individual file folders.
What I want is ABAP code or a function module which will run the reports, and output the results as .txt.
Thanks.

  • Output of report to control file

    Hi all,
    I have to show my report output into 2 formats one is csv format and another is ctl file.
    For this I am using FND_SUBMIT.SET_REQUEST_SET in after report trigger of my report.
    For first output type I am submitting XML program to get csv output.
    After this my second progrm output type has to be control file, in this control file I have to show the Total sum of amount which is generated in first program that is csv format. How can I achieve this?
    How can I get output of report in control file?
    Could you help me in this?
    Thanks in advance

    You may have an additional layout for the .ctl file. That is a new set of frames and fields that gives you the .ctl file, without querrying again.
    As for the after report trigger, it would be best not to use it. It is obsoleted.

    Hi,
    this error is because you are activating your ODS in paralel and it could be an issue...
    Are you on BI7.0? Check OSS 976730.
    If not, did you change something to your scenario?
    Try to activate you request serially.
    Let me know

  • Problem in saving report as .txt file through IE

    We have a requirement to save the report generated as HTML as text file(.txt) in IE. The report generated shows properly on the page, but when saved as text file the records trucated or line feed is added into records and file is distored. If I open the report in Netscape and save it, no problem of line feed or truncatation. Can anyone tell me how to solve this.
    We gave the following as query parameter to report server
    desformat=html&destype=cache. If I use the other option desformat=delimited&CELLWRAPPER=,&destype=cache, the report is repeating the column name in all the records(rows).
    Can anyone tell me urgently how to save the report (.CSV or delimited) in the text file.

  • AS3: outputting trace() content to external txt file

    the question's in the title. ive got a swf but i've gotta run
    it on a nokia n800, which means trace() content will be lost and -
    boy! - do i need it!
    so how can i set my swf up to output its trace content to an
    external txt file?

    hello kglad
    well, not 'lost' thats misleading, sorry. i mean: the swf
    will be running on a browser outside the flash authorising
    environment so the output window won't be accessible, therefore i
    need a way of printing out the trace() output to another source.
    the help files say that trace() can output to the output window OR
    to an external txt file. only it doesnt actually go on to say quite
    HOW you can output to said external txt file, rather
    irritatingly..

  • Txt file missing after deploying war

    All,
    i've encountered weird problem when i'm deploy new war to the server. i want my class read the txt file. so that i've put the txt file at the same path as class as well at src/javapackage. here is the path..
    F:/myapp/voip/src/clientpkg
    so that i assumed when i deploy the war file to the server all classess & txt file will be kept at the ...
    webapps/voip/WEB-INF/classes/clientpkg/
    but when i checked at the clientpkg directory, the txt file is missing. what shud i do now?
    here is my code to read the txt file..
    private boolean migration25Cpes() throws Exception {
    boolean status = false;
    try {
    System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
    System.out.println("read the file again/");
    InputStream in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("list25cpe.txt");
    Reader rin = new InputStreamReader(in);
    BufferedReader inputFile = new BufferedReader(rin);
    String readSource = "";
    while ( (readSource = inputFile.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(readSource);
    System.out.println("the input now : " +inputFile.read());
    inputFile.close();
    catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    return status;
    }

    Then you have to find a way to tell JBuilder to include the text file in the jar. I don't know JBuilder, but I'm guessing that right now it is probably building the jar from the compiler output directory, which contains only class files.
    There may be a setting to copy non-java files to the compiler output directory, or you may need to put stuff you want to appear in WEB-INF/classes in some other location for it to be picked up by the JBuilder war-creator.

  • How can download report as .TXT

    Hi Experts,
    For the customer does need a report which contains records more that 65000, which is the limitaion of Excel 2003.
    So far, i know the following solutions, but they don't fit our case:
    1. Office 2007.  The user will continue to use 2003.
    2. Web Analyzer.  No portal established.
    3. Using filter to reduce the # of record. They customer has confirmed no filer will be used in this report.

  • How can I write waveform data to a txt file or an excel sheet?

    I want have a table that I can follow up in excel. In first column should be the timestamp (in ms or better in us), in the second column should be the value. I made an effort but it doesn´t work.
    Attachments:
    PWMReadWrite.vi ‏167 KB

    Yes, you must change block (Get Date/Time String.vi).
    You must write new subVI - this new VI convert date and time to the second [or ms or us].
    First choice is: time column will be count of second [the better ms or best us] since 12:00 a.m., January 1, 1904, Universal time[function "Get Date/Time In Seconds.vi"].
    Text file:
    3216546154,000 0.000000
    3216546154,050 0.062791
    3216546154,100 0.125333
    Second choice is: first record in TXT file will be time when test start and after will be table with time [ms or us] and value.
    Text file:
    Start time: Monday 30-th February 2005.
    0,000 0.000000
    0,050 0.062791
    0,100 0.125333
    Have a nice day.

    P.S.: I recommend you creat header of result table to text file.
    Text file:
    time [ms] U [V]
    3216546154,000 0.000000
    3216546154,050 0.062791

  • Wrong  file format while generating a txt file

    Hi,
    I am using a java application to generate a txt file. This txt file will later be used by a spider. The problem is when the file is generated it has UNIX format. It means the '\n' characters at the end of the line are not the same as in a DOS file.
    I need the file to be in a "PC/DOS" format otherwise the spider will ignore the file.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Fas

    Another stab at "simplest": can you avoid embedding
    newline characters in the strings
    your write and reply on PrintWriter's
    println() methods instead?But, if I understand the OP, this will cause the same problem. He is running on Unix but wants to generate a DOS type eol. The println() method will use the OS default; therefore, he needs to explicitly specify the DOS eol.
