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.

Hi,
Check whether path ur providing to the open data set stmt is correct or not in debugging mode.
* File upload to internal table from UNIX Directory
    IF NOT p_i1file IS INITIAL AND NOT p_path IS INITIAL.
      CONCATENATE p_path p_i1file INTO v_file.
      CONDENSE v_file.
      OPEN DATASET v_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE MESSAGE v_msg.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        WRITE: / 'INPUT FILE CONTAINS NO RECORD :'(010), v_file.
        DO.
          CLEAR tbl_input.
          READ DATASET v_file INTO tbl_input.
          IF sy-subrc NE 0.
            EXIT.
          ELSE.
            APPEND tbl_input.
          ENDIF.
        ENDDO.
* Close Input File
        CLOSE DATASET v_file.
      ELSE.
        WRITE:/'Error uploading file: '(008),v_file.
        STOP.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
It should work.check the sy-subrc value and file value in debug mode.

OTHERS = 4
can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

"Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
Window 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
Hope it's helpful.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I can delete other files but several XLS files are giving me this message.

You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

Hi,
You are trying to read file wrong way. In the tutorial of Java Excel Api: "JExcelApi can read an Excel spreadsheet from a file stored on the local filesystem or from some input stream.". You are trying to read from file system. So you must get file input stream then you can read it. Please search forums KM file read.

1.is it possible to read a .xls file and load it into an oracle table

1.is it possible to read a .xls file and load it into an oracle table, using oracle database or oracle forms i.e. either utl_file, or text_io, or any other oracle tool.
As far as I know we need a csv file or a txt ( tab delimited) file ?
2.Are there any windows tools for the same

Hi,
If you want to use the DDE package to read the XLS file then yes, you will neeed to know the number of rows and columns in the input file.
i.e. How will you know :
1) How many columns are there in the input file.
If I have a XLS file with the following data :
R1C1 R1C2 R1C3 R1C4 R1C5 R1C6 R1C7
xxx xx x
Where R represents row and C represents column, then how will you know the each row has 7 columns. If you know the answer upfront, then it's not a issue.
Using the DDE apprach, you will have to specify the RowNum and the ColumnNo of each idividual cells to read/write data from xls sheet.
Look at the syntax in my ealier post.
using the other approch (i.e. comma delimited text file - CSV file) , you need not know the number of columns as you can loop thru the input record till the last column is read.
All you have to do is to look for the 'n' occurances of the field delimiter say ',', do a substr from the current position to the point where the ',' was found.
This process is to be repeated in a loop till all columns are read.
The TEXT_IO package can trap for EOF (End Of File).
Hope I made myself clear.

Extract .xls file from an FTP site

Hi everyone,
Can anyone assist with this, I'm trying to extract an .xls file from a FTP site. The system I'm currently working on has no SAP application installed, we are using Microsoft SQL server as the target database and there is an FTP site which contains the .xls/.csv files and Data services as a ETL tool. The error I'm getting is 'FTP could not transfer file </DI_TEST/DATA_TO_IMPORT_1.xls> from host <www.servername.com>: <T>. Please ensure that the FTP relative path for the SAP server working directory is set correctly such that the data file is accessible to the FTP program. Also, ensure that the target path, where the transferred file is written to, is correct.'
Do I need to have SAP installed to use this functionality?
Currently to make this work, I wrote a .CMD file to do the GET ftp code and I then call this with a DI script and it works perfectly. Isn't there a way I can do this independant of the .CMD?
I'm sorry for bring this up again, I know I had a similar thread before. The reason why I closed it is that I did it using .CMD, I would prefer if I can do it with DI without using .CMD.
Thank all for your help.
Kind regards,

Help reading a .txt file from the hard drive....

Hi guys,
Ok... I need to know how to read a .txt file from the hard drive... I have an example on how to read from a disk, but I don't have a disk drive. I could be confusing terminology, but I don't think I am. Here is the code I have for reading from a disk.. please let me know how I should change it to read from a hard drive.
Also, when the error pops up, it says that it can't read another .txt file that is not specified in the code... any ideas how that is occuring? Please advise.
import java.io.*;
public class TEST {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
FileReader fr = new FileReader("customer.txt");
BufferedReader bfr = new BufferedReader (fr);
String s;
while ((s=bfr.readLine())!= null){
System.out.println (s);
fr.close();
}

Ok... I need to know how to read a .txt file from the
hard drive... I have an example on how to read from a
disk, but I don't have a disk drive. I could be
confusing terminology, but I don't think I am. Here
is the code I have for reading from a disk.. please
let me know how I should change it to read from a
hard drive.The code will be the same, regardless of where the file is located. It's just the filename that will be different.
Also, when the error pops up, it says that it can't
read another .txt file that is not specified in the
code... any ideas how that is occuring? Please
advise.Probably becuase the class file (compiled version of the source code) is a different version to the source code, i.e. the source code hasn't been recompiled since the source code was changed.
How does this relate to EJBs?

Read a zip file from Application server.

Hi,
Is there a way to read a zip file from the applicatoin server to internal table in ABAP program? The operation system is running MS windows server. The zip file contains only 1 text file. I tried to use open dataset 'uncompress', and use read dataset, but read dataset gave me sy-subrc = 4. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

hi,
to convert xstring to text you can use this:
DATA unzipped_data TYPE xstring.
DATA text_data TYPE string.
DATA conv_x2c TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
conv_x2c = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( ).
conv_x2c->convert( EXPORTING input = unzipped_data IMPORTING data = text_data ).
moreover, if you want to split your text at "end of line" (CR LF in microsoft windows) into lines:
DATA text_lines TYPE TABLE OF string.
SPLIT text_data AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf INTO TABLE text_lines.

Not able to read the wsdl file from server Premature EOF encounter

Hi All,
I am facing issue while accessing a web Service from server. Here is the clear view about it.
I created a simple SyncBpel process in a composite and deployed in to the server and it is working fine. Later i created a new Asyn bpel process in a composite and in the external reference i dragged a web Service and imported the wsdl url from server of the SyncBpel and wired the Asynbpel process to webserive .
Now here i am facing peculiar behavior which i am not able to trace it out.
1) For the first time when i import the url of syncBpel from the server i am not facing any error and it is working fine as expected but when i close the Jdeveloper and open it i am not able to user the web Service and it is saying as "Not able to read the wsdl file from server Premature EOF encounter"
2)When i close and open the Jdeveloper i can see the url of the wsdl which imported in webserver is changing from http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/bpelsync_client_ep?WSDL to http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/BPELsync.wsdl
3)when I open and see the url http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel/bpelsync_client_ep?WSDL I can see the soap address as *<soap:address location="http://stcfmw03.satyam.com:8021/soa-infra/services/Tarak/synchronousBpel!1.0*soa_5cfb8416-c106-40a2-a53b-9054bbe04b9c/bpelsync_client_ep"/>*
I don’t understand why the soap end contains “*soa_5cfb8416-c106-40a2-a53b-9054bbe04b9c” and this kind of url for soap address is coming to all the bpel process which I am deploying in the server.
I checked the in Jdeveloper where webproxy is uncheck and the server is also up but still I am facing issue of reading the error.
Can someone please help in resolving the issue.
I am using SOA 11g 11.1.1.5 and Jdeveloper 11.1.1.5
Many thanks.
Tarak

Hi,
Setting default from the jdeveloper -
During composite deployment from Jdeveloper (wizard driven), you will be given an option to choose the version of the composite and there will also be an option for you to choose if the composite needs to be deployed as default.
Setting default from the em console -
After deploying a composite, login to the em console and click on the composite that you want to set as default, and you will find a tab - "Set as Default". please note that this tab will not be seen, if the composite is already set as default.
