Populating XLS file using ODI

Hi,
I have a requirement i will receive on a daily basis a file from SAP having some data.I need to integrate the data coming in a XLS file.
What i know till now is i can create Oracle table from the Text file.
Now i would like to know if there is any way to create Excel file from that database?
If yes how could i achieve that?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Reading DBF & XLS files from ODI-AIX

Hi all
I need to read DBF (Foxpro) and XLS files from ODI 10.1.3.5 for AIX 6.x
Anyone knows what drivers we need to install or any other kind of method to read them?
Thanks in advance
Ernest !

Ernest,
To load DBF on AIX, you will need to use a DBF Foxpro jdbc driver. One of the drivers can be purchased from http://www.csv-jdbc.com/stels_dbf_jdbc.htm
or
http://www.hxtt.com/dbf.html
Copy the driver in the $ODI_HOME/oracledi/drivers directory and restart the agent if you have any.
Then you need to configure a Dbase physical dataserver + physical schema with the following JDBC URL
jdbc:jstels:dbf:/yourserverpath/dir_containing_dbf_files
Obviously, you will also need to define the corresponding logical schema
And after you define a model based on the logical schema, you will define the datastore. The "resource name" will contain name of the dbf file without the .dbf.
For XLS, you can try the drivers from the listed above.

Merge xls files using powershell

is there any way to merge xls files using powershell ?

What does "merge" mean? Copy cells? Copy Sheets? Copy formulas? Copy Data?
"Merge"is way too vague.

Table to File using ODI Procedure

Pls help me ...describing what are the steps in ODI need for loading a RDBMS table to File using ODI Procedure....not using Interface and OdiSqlUnload
Thanks in Advance

You can use Java Beanshell or Jython to load data in to a file. The only thing is that you need to create a connection so that you can run the select query and get the resultset. Now write it using your rest code.
If i would have been in your situtation i would prefer Java Beanshell ( not good in jython ;) . Dev can help you on this.). The readymade query is already here

How to execute .sql file using ODI

Hi All,
I need to execute .sql file using ODI.
I tried @{path}{file} command in ODI procedure selecting oracle technology.but it is failing.
Do any one have any other idea to execute .sql file.
Thanks in advance

Ohk...I think you can try creating batch file(.bat) if its Windows & call that from ODIOSCommand.
The bat file should contain scripts which call .sql file using sqlplus & there you can use @{path}{file} format.
See if this helps.

DB2 Version 8 to Flat Files using ODI

Hi,
We are trying to load data from DB2 V8 to flat files using ODI.
Can anybody help me in this to configure server in Topology.
Thanks
Ashwini

Hi,
How are you? Let me try contribute a little...
A)
1) The OS isn't a problem, once you link it at topology will be OK.
2) If you have a fix name just create a datastore to it, if not, there are techniques to got dynamic file names
3) When you say "*.dat, *.cvs" maybe you refer to the internal format of file (record separator, decimal point, etc) all of this is configurable on datastore that represents the file at ODI.
B) Yes, the only requisite is to have the write and read rights.
C) The most simple way is create a refresh variable that get the data in any format you wish..
Does it make any sense to you?

Import CSV data to an existing populated XLS file

Hi Guys,
Looking for some assistance, with some powershell I have never done before.. and don't know where to start..
I have a CSV file that contains some data - Several items exported from a standard powershell command.
I also have an XLS file that has been manually populated for the last 6 months with data.
What I want to get to (and have started with exporting the data to csv) is for the script to run, and add the data from the CSV to the XLS in the already exisiting colum heading.
SO in the first row - we need to add the date, followed by adding data under each subsequent column that already has a heading..
Anyone got any suggestions on where to start with this? Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Allan Harding

I think your question is a bit too broad and vague.
If you are not a scripter then I recommend asking in the Exxcel forum. THey will help you learn how to use Excel tomerge data tables.
If you want to scrpt this then youneed to start by learning how to write a script. YOu will want to use Import-Csv and the Excel object model.
If this is critical then I recommend contacting a consultant.

Problem downloading .doc, .xls file using servlet

i have a servlet which downloads the files to client(browser). It works file for .txt file but .doc, .xls files are opend but they contain garbage.

Probably because you output them using the Writer you got from getWriter instead of using the OutputStream you can get from getOutputStream.

Import xls file using SSIS

Hello All,
I am using Visual studio 2008 R2 and i have file which is in xls format.I tried to import the file but i am getting error like "external table is not in the expected format".I tried in different ways like use IMEX = 1 and debug property set 64bit
= false.
while importing i used 97-2003 in excel source .
My altered connection string is " Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Computer\Mathew\MYFile.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX = 1 ;MAXSCANROWS = 15;READONLY = FALSE";"
If i manually open the file and save as the same extension (97-2003) no issues for importing.But my file is dynamic and it picks everyday and use the data flow task to import xls from source ,getting the error which i mentioned above.
But still i am facing the same issue. Do anyone face this kind of issue before and please help me or suggest me to overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Mathew George

Hi Mathew,
The error "External table is not in the expected format" usually occurs because the format of the Excel file is not supported by the Excel driver, for example, it will occur if we try to connect to a .xlsx file using the Microsoft JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Given the situation that the issue appears after you resave the Excel file as .xls, it seems the source .xls file is not the exact Excel 97-2003 format.
One possible solution is to use the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider other than the Microsoft JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider. Besides, I saw that you encounterred the error "Could not find installed ISAM" when using the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider.
This error may occur because of the extra space between Excel 12.0 and the following semi-colon in the Extended Properties. For example, "Excel 12.0 ;HDR=YES;" will cause this error, and we should use "Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;". Be sure to use the Excel 12.0 other
than Excel 8.0 extended property because the Excel 12.0 works with both .xls format file and .xlsx format file. Here is a screenshot for your reference:

Creating .xls file Using Java I/O

Hi,
I am crearting a .xls file from a oracle database that support japanese charsets(i.e it has data in UTF-8 format). I am creating the file using below java statements:
1. Writer out = new OuputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("temp.xls"));
2. out.write(data);
So using above statements I am reading data in UTF-8 format and writing it a file using UTF-8 format.
But my created .xls files does not allow me to see japanese characters as they visible in a browser. But in place of temp.xls if I use temp.txt or temp.doc , then I am able to see the japanese characters when those files are view using TEXTPAD OR MS-WORD APPLICATIONS.
I have japanese font installed on my machine. So I am not understanding where the actual problem is with my way of file writing or with MS-EXCEL APPLICATION ....
Please suggest me some solution ....
Thanks in advance......
kumar.

Actually the way u have told result in the same. Even the file is .csv or .xls I am not able to see some japanese characters in my excel application provided I have japanese fonts installed on my machine. But when using the same servlet if i create an .doc or .txt file i am able to see japanese characters when i open .doc or .txt using MS-WORD OR TEXTPAD LIKE APPLICATIONS.
