Query download to CSV format

I need help setting up a query to download the results to a CSV format file. The query will be setup run in a batch job. The file will be stored on the application server.

FM GUI_DOWNLOAD downloads to the presentation server only, not the ap server. And it woks only in the foreground.

Issue with downloading in CSV Format

Hi SDN,
i used the FM's SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT - to convert 2 CSV Format and
                        GUI_DOWNLOAD - to download the data 2 presentation server.
i'm able 2 open the file in CSV format,but the data is displayed in single column only.
how 2 display in different columns ?
for example the ITAB contains empno, empname and designation.
I want it 2 display as :
   EMPNO      EMPNAME     DESIGNATION
     1                xxxxx              Developer
     2                 yyyy               TL
with tab delimiter.
now the values are displaying as:
EMPNO;EMPNAME;DESIGNATION
1;xxxx;Developer
2;yyyy;TL
pls suggest.
awaiting ur early response.
Regards,
Suman.

Hi Max,
the issue is when opening the CSV file.
all the contents are coming in a single column. for ex.,
                Col 1                                                 Col2          Col3
Row1      Heading1,Heading2,Heading3
Row2      a1,b1,c1
Row3      a2,b2,c2
Row4      a3,b3,c3
I'm not sure whether this format is correct ?
what I'm expecting is like the one below, with a tab delimiter.because after runing the ALV report when I export 2 Excel in CSV format it is displaying like this.
                    Col1                Col2               Col3
Row1          Heading1      Heading2          Heading3
Row2             a1                    b1                c1
Row3             a2                     b2               c2
Row4             a3                     b3                c3

Saving a report with two query providers into .csv format

Hi,
I have developed a webi report which has two query providers. I have linked the objects from these two queries at the report level using merged dimensions. the report is running fine. When I save it in EXCEL or PDF it saves the same report, but when I try to save the report in .CSV format, the output of the second query provided is getting appened at the bottom of the report.
Has anyone encountered similar problem is so whats the solution for it.
For me business wants the report to be saved as .csv only as it acts as a source file to other application.

Hi
please take a look at the explanation area in the following note
https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/1417382
When saving Web Intelligence document as Excel format, the result is saved based on the report design.
When saving Web Intelligence document as CSV format, all data in the Data Provider are saved.
I believe that the behaviour you described is by design so there is not much to do about it. You can open a case by SAP support though asking if this changed in a later service pack (actual service pack version for XI R2 is SP 6).

Obiee 11g hierarchy columns download into csv format.

When using hierarchical columns, Is there a way to download the results as the user see it on the view (be it table or pivot view) into a CSV format.
Excel format works, but if the user drill down on the hierarchy column and then export in CSV format... the data gets exported to the level the report was originally set.
Is there any way to change this behavior?
One option we can recommend to users is to download in excel format and then convert to CSV....if needed.
FYI, we just starting looking into 11g 11.1.1.5 version... planning to migrate from 10g to 11g...
Thanks

Link to download in csv format and display in pdf

Hi
i have oracle 10.1.2 portal and as part of application i have a page which results various columns in tabular format, i need to provide the user a link on the same page which which will allow the user to download the result page content in csv format. how can we do it?
i have another a HTML page which gets generated dynamically, i need to show the same content in pdf format. guide me how can i do it?
help is requested because this is an urgency..

Hi,
I did it once - however, I am not sure if Portal 10.1.2 has support for MIME types other than text/plain. I implemented a JSP solution and this is what I did :
1. I have a Servlet that checks the choice of output i.e, html or Excel.
2. The Servlet first renders the page in HTML, with a link that invites the user to "Export" the report to Excel. The Servlet forwards the rendering to a JSP ( which is a Portlet ).
3. If the link is click, the same Servlet is invoked - thsi time, I made the Servlet to render the output as Excel using the usual code: response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
4. The same output is rendered in Excel.
The Servlet was not a Portlet - I had to do this workaround as Oracle Portal 9.0.4 wouldn't support the content-type application/vnd.ms-excel
Thus, the HTML rendering was done via a JSP, which is a Portlet. THe PDF / Excel redering was done by a Servlet, which is not a Portlet.
I would be interested to know if 10.1.2 ( & the later verions ) support the Excel / PDF MIME Types.

Download in CSV format with Clear Cache After Regions

Hi,
I am trying to download Apex report in CSV format, but, as I have Clear cache After Region data gets cleared and nothing the saved in CSV file. If I remove Clear Cache option I am able to download report in CSV format, but, as cache entries are not cleard it is fetching all records related to previous entry which is not intended. This is all happening in single session. If I logout and login again, then cache is cleard. But in single session when I move from one report to another cache entries are not cleared.
Appreciate your help.

Automate several table download in csv format from Oracle database

Hi All, I am new to Oracle database usage and currently using SQL Developer and PL/SQL for my day to day work. Please help me with the below.
Currently I am querying a table for few columns and using EXPORT facility from Query Result tab. However, I want to do this for several tables. If possible I would like to keep all these table downloads as overnight job. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

I guess you should post this in the SQL Developer forums. However; if you don't mind using other tools I have an idea: recently a feature has been added to the free mod_owa module to output a ref cursor in various formats; e.g. in CSV:
https://oss.oracle.com/projects/mod_owa/dist/documentation/modowa.htm#_refcur
so in essence you'd need a stored procedure returning ref cursors and an apache with the module configured. You'd simply have to do HTTP Requests and store the response in a file.
cheers

Download to CSV format in Interactive report

Hi all,
We have APEX 4.2. We have created Interactive report on a table. When we download that report to csv, everything is fine except for loan number which is a varchar2(50 Byte) (e.g. 210568900000000012). It is shown as 2.10569E+15. When we try to format the cell as text, it rounds off the number (e.g 210568900000000000).
Please advice.
Regards,
Andy

I encountered this issue previously, but regarding leading zeroes. It was really a battle with Excel - not APEX.
Although I'd be interested to see if anyone has found a workaround that made Excel interpret it as a character instead of a number. We tried a few leads but to no avail.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Post Author: cjmorris1201

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:
