Pull data from a table in HTML format from external URL into a Servlet

How do I pull data from existing website html table into a Servlet?
I will need to pull the data into a servlet. So, the servelet will need to go to the URL and get the data and save them as variables.
I know I will need an array to store the data. I just dont know how to call the URL and have the servelet search the site for the <table> </table>.
I will later use this to save to a database.
Thanks

How to send mails in HTML format from the send mail step of workflow?

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to send mails in the html format from the send mail step of the workflows.
But what I found out that the html tags are not renderd and as such the output is in plain text.
I know that there is an alternative of using an activity step and use my own custom code from within there,But due to certain business constraints, I need to use the send mail step only.
My SCOT settings are all right.
Please let me know how it can be done.
Thanks,
Samrat.

Samrat,
It can't be done, you have to use your own activity step.
What are these constraints that refrain you from doing that?

How to send a mail in html format from a send mail workflow node ?

Dear all,
Do you know if it is possible to send an e-mail in HTML format (instead of RAW) from a "send mail" node in a workflow ? ... if "yes", please, let me know.
(I need to do that because I want to use the "href" tag to insert an hyperlink inside the e-mail)
- I haven't found any parameter to specify the format of the e-mail.
- Inside SCOT I tried to change the parameters for the SMTP node... without success.
- I don't want to use a task calling the FM SO_OBJECT_SEND.
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas!
Have you tried to set "Output Format" for "RAW Text" to HTM in SCOT.
If HTM is missing in your dropdown-list, you could check out table SXCONVERT2. Copy the line with category T/format TXT, and change the format from TXT to HTM. The existing function
SX_OBJECT_CONVERT__T.TXT does not need to be changed. Now you should be able to choose HTM in SCOT. You will probably need som HTML-tags in your text to make it look good.
Hope this helps!

Problem reading external HTML format from text file

I have a text file containing html formatted text which I try to get into a textfield.
All works fine locally and even on my localhost test server, but when uploading to the real server - I get a blank.
Anyone have any ideas? THANKS
The text file :
&t2=<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">Some text here</TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">One more line</TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">And more text here</TEXTFORMAT>
and the AS code in the movie:
viewData.onPress = function() {
//get text
loadText()
var tz
function loadText() {
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
//trace(this.toString())
mytext.htmlText= this.t2;
} else {
//trace("Error loading/parsing LoadVars.");
my_lv.load("myfile.txt");

Thanks kglad, I did it and it made me find the real problem:
The text file is generated by PHP script that gets an html formated text from flash (it is an online editing part of an application):
the AS code to call the php:
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.t1 = "&t2="+editor.t1.htmlText+"&";
send_lv.sendAndLoad("write.php", res_lv, "POST");
the PHP:
<?php
$mydata = $_POST["t1"];
$myFile = "recipe.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $mydata);
fclose($fh);
print "&done=done";
?>
From some reason the online server adds \ before any " , but WAMP doesn't.
here is the text generated on localhost (WAMP)
&t2=<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">local text</TEXTFORMAT>&
online server:
&t2=<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=\"2\">online text</TEXTFORMAT>&
I know its not a Flash problem now, but do you have any idea?
Thanks

A textbox submitted in a form delivers a String. What's inside is no issue. If you want to process it further, pick the tool of your choice, like an HTML parser.

Reading the XML message from Xi stored in XML format from a abap program.

Hi Gurus,
My requirement here is to read the data that will be coming from Xi from my custom abap program and updating 2 data base tables. The method is after the data mapping is done a class is generated in abap proxy in which a method is available. Inside the method i am writing the code for getting the Xi data stored as a payload message which can be seen in the transaction SXMB_MONI. My code is given below.
***begin code***
method ZII_PAYROLL_HEADER_IN~PAYROLL_HEADER_IN.
**** INSERT IMPLEMENTATION HERE **** ***
data: ln type i.
DATA: i_items TYPE TABLE OF ZPAYLOAD_WRAPPER_EMPLOYEE_REC3.
*DATA: wa_items type ZPAYLOAD_WRAPPER_EMPLOYEE_TAB5.
data: wa_items type ZPAYLOAD_WRAPPER_EMPLOYEE_REC3.
DATA:PERNR TYPE STRING.
*data: it_ZPAYLOAD_WRAPPER16 TYPE ZPAYLOAD_WRAPPER16.
I_ITEMS[] = INPUT-PAYLOAD_WRAPPER-BODY-XMLDOC-PAYROLL_PERIOD_OVERVIEW-EMPLOYEE_RECORD[].
*I_ITEMS = INPUT-payloadWrapper-Body-XMLDOC-PayrollPeriodOverview-EmployeeRecord.
describe table i_items[] lines ln.
endmethod.
**End code***
As per the logic the data stored in the XML message should be avaialble in INPUT-payloadWrapper-Body-XMLDOC-PayrollPeriodOverview-EmployeeRecord which i am assigning to a local internal table in the class.
But in my case there is no data coming in
INPUT-payloadWrapper-Body-XMLDOC-PayrollPeriodOverview-EmployeeRecord.
But i can see the data transffered from XI in the transaction SXMB_MONI->XML message->inbound message->payload.
Is there any way to read the data stored in the XML message in the transaction SXMB_MONI.
Also why the data is not coming in
INPUT-payloadWrapper-Body-XMLDOC-PayrollPeriodOverview-EmployeeRecord inside the class.
If there is any solution for this problem please post it.

You can use function module SXMB_GET_MESSAGE_PAYLOAD.
Code snippet:
DATA: ls_mast      TYPE sxmspmast,
      ls_msgkey    TYPE sxmsmkey,
      lv_bin_xml   TYPE xstring,
      lv_str_xml   TYPE string.
* select sxmspmast into ls_mast
ls_msgkey-msgid = ls_mast-msgguid.
ls_msgkey-pid    = 'RECEIVER'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SXMB_GET_MESSAGE_PAYLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      im_msgkey      = ls_msgkey
      im_archive     = ' '
      im_version     = ls_mast-vers
    IMPORTING
      ex_msg_bytes   = lv_bin_xml
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_authorized = 1
      no_message     = 2
      internal_error = 3
      no_payload     = 4
      OTHERS         = 5.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      lv_str_xml = cl_soap_moni_helper=>convert_xstring_to_string( xstring_in = lv_bin_xml ).
ENDIF.

How can I copy text from a table in a format that's readable when I paste it into an internet based data recording system?

I have to fill in forms regarding foster children every week, then export the text to an on-line data recording system for each child. The old pages let me copy (cmdA ) the whole document and past it into where it needs to go.
The new version includes inverted commas and I have to copy the document headers separately from the information contained in the table. It's a bit of a pain!

Download data from internal table to excel sheet from the background

Hello Experts,
I have written a code where the data is stored in the internal table . Now when i run this code in the background i want this internal table data to get downloaded in the excel sheet. The function module GUI_DOWNLAOD is not supported in the background. So is there any other function module that can be used or is there any other way to do this
Thanks in advance

Hi Aditya,
I would provide you 2 advice:
1. save the file on the application server as text file and the fileds in it separated by TAB,you can download the file whenever you want and open it with excel.
2.generate excel files and send it to the email address whatever you specify in the selection-screen.
Thanks,
Sam

How to remove the HTML formatting from error sources

Does anybody have a good way to strip the HTML mark-up that often shows up in the source field of an error cluster. I would like to log the error source to a text file, and display the error source in a text control, without the HTML mark-up.
I'm using LabView 8.5, but I'm sure a solution for an older version of LabVIEW can be easily adapted to the latest version.
Thanks,
Mark Moss

smercurio_fc,
that is what I get on my system (Win XP Pro SP2, LV 8.0.1 and newer). If you see it different there must be something different between my and your system.

Show name from one table, and a sum from another table.

Hi,
For instance: I have 2 tables.
1. Table1 has fields TenantID, TenantName,
2. Table2 has fields AmmountCredit, AmmountDebit, TenantID.
I need the following behavior.
In the detailed section I want my report to show a list of TenantName, and a SUM of AmmountCredit minus Ammount Debit for that Tenant (which will come from Table2).
How would I do this? If a formula is involved, please provide an example because I'm fairly new to Crystal Reports.
Thanks
Aron

Hi Aron,
Please see if this helps:
1) Go to the Database Expert > Add the two tables > Go to the Links tab > Join the two tables on the 'Tenant ID' field using an 'Inner Join' > Click OK
2) In the report, go to the Group Expert and create a group on the 'Tenant ID' field
3) Place the 'Tenant Name' field on the Group Header 1
4) Suppress the Details Section
5) Create a formula with this code and place it on the Group Header 1:
Sum({AmountCredit}, {TenantID}) - Sum({AmountDebit}, {TenantID})
Here, {TenantID} is the Group field. So replace these fields with the right fields from your datasource.

Best way to select from 2 tables, based on sum from detail table

I have a "customer order line detail" table from which I want to report
Order Number
Customer Number
Part Number
Line Value { which is Unit Qty * (Unit price - discount%) }
But only for orders which are above £1500.
And lines which are not "Cancelled"
I have access to an API which returns the total order value for the order.
I am currently using this in my criteria, eg:
select order_no, customer_no, part_no, round(unit_qty *(unit_price - unit_price *(discount/100)),2) Line_value
from customer_detail
where
status != 'Cancelled'
and
Customer_Order_API.Get_Total_Sale_Price__(order_no)>=1500
The API contains the following:
SELECT SUM(ROUND((qty * price_conv_factor * unit_price), rounding_) -
ROUND((qty * price_conv_factor * unit_price) -
((qty * price_conv_factor * unit_price) * ((1 - discount / 100) * (1 - order_discount / 100))), 2))
FROM customer_detail
WHERE order_no = order_no_
AND state != 'Cancelled'
AND line_item_no <= 0
(that uses a price conversion factor that I don't use, since it's always 1)
My query runs so slowly, because it is getting the order value for every line of the order, is it possible to improve?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, it was close to what I needed.
I ended up with this:
select order_no, name, ref_id, c_salesman_sub_division, line_value, catalog_desc
from
(SELECT coj.customer_no, coj.order_no, ifsapp.customer_info_api.GET_NAME(customer_no) name, coj.ref_id,
 coj.c_salesman_sub_division, ROUND((coj.buy_qty_due * coj.
 price_conv_factor) * coj.sale_unit_price, 2) - ROUND((coj.buy_qty_due *
 coj.price_conv_factor) * coj.sale_unit_price - ((coj.buy_qty_due * coj.
 price_conv_factor) * coj.sale_unit_price) * ((1 - coj.discount / 100) *
 (1 - coj.order_discount / 100)), 2) line_value, coj.catalog_desc,
SUM( ROUND((coj.buy_qty_due * coj.
 price_conv_factor) * coj.sale_unit_price, 2) - ROUND((coj.buy_qty_due *
 coj.price_conv_factor) * coj.sale_unit_price - ((coj.buy_qty_due * coj.
 price_conv_factor) * coj.sale_unit_price) * ((1 - coj.discount / 100) *
 (1 - coj.order_discount / 100)), 2)) OVER (PARTITION BY Coj.ORDER_NO) AS SUM_ORDER
 FROM ifsapp.customer_order_join coj
 WHERE coj.order_no = coj.order_no
 AND TRUNC(coj.date_entered) = NVL(TO_DATE('25/01/2007', 'DD/MM/YYYY'),
 TRUNC(SYSDATE))
 AND coj.authorize_code = 'UKMEDM'
 AND coj.line_item_no >= 0
 AND coj.ref_id <> 'SAMP'
 AND coj.state <> 'Cancelled'
where sum_order >=1500
 ORDER BY ref_id, c_salesman_sub_division, customer_no, order_no
/[pre]
But I have realised the problem with this. Not sure if I made it clear, to myself even, but I need to include
order lines added on a particular day (that are not cancelled)
for orders which total >= £1500.
If one line of an order is added for £900 but the rest of the order is £2000 then that line should be shown.
My SQL only shows lines added for the day >= 1500.
