Reading Excel from Java

Hello,
I would want to read excel data from Java. I do not want to register any excel drivers as I will not be able to know the file to be read before hand. Are there any better ways to solve this ?
Thanks in Advance,
Prasanna

hi prasanna
if you are using jdbc-odbc bridge I would recommend you to test the
program with excel files with varying sizes like 3,5, 12, 20 etc. There
is a some problem with the driver that it chops off some data.
For example if you have 20k excel file the driver may read in 9k chunks so you get 18k of data read and the driver ignores rest 2k.
Make sure of that it works on all sizes of input data.

I am trying to develope an adapter module to read excel file
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/AdapterModuleToReadExcelFilewithMultipleRowsandMultiple+Columns
but here in this wiki , given java code is for pi 7.0 and it is using jar file from PI 7.0
I tried with using corresponding PI 7.1 files

Accessing excel from java code

Hello
our system uses reportNet to generate reports. When reports are generated in CSV format we have a problem:
Report consists of people (can be more than one) so under name column we have same name in more than one row. BUT if more than one name is suppose to be in the CSV report then the header (column names row) is again printed.
so for example if i requested rpeort for two names A and B (reportNet uses same template which is executed twice) then report will look like this
Name (header - column name)
A
A
A
A
A
Name (header - column name)
B
B
B
B
I want to be able to remove the second header that comes before B starts.
so i was thinking i would be able to access this excel sheet from java. and keep record of every row. If the row changes from A to B...i delete the previous row (which would end up being the second header).
Can this be done thru java. I havnt before accessed excel sheets from java so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, well CSV is not currently an Excel file, it is a Comma Separated Values
file which can be read through Excel.
Now, if you wish to remove the header, I would purpose that you develop an
application that reads the CSV file, as it is mere text, and that it also reads
another file (lets call it confirguration.txt) in which you determine the pattern
you want to remove, then you just read your report and if a string line
matches the pattern you defined in the configuration.txt file, then you simply
erase it.
And if you keep interested in reading real Excel files (xls), I would
recommend you use POI-HSSF API from Apache.org
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/index.html
Hope this helps, cya around.

Excel from JAVA or C++ -- Urgent -- help

Hi
I know it might not be possible, but i want to use couple of Financial Functions which excel provides within itself.
Is there anyway i can use them from my JAVA or C++ code ?
In short, would it be possible to call excel functions from JAVA or C++ code
TIA
Vikram

Actually you can... In quite a few different ways. You can access any COM or OLE object in windows from within java by using the Java/COm bridge, or purchasing shrink wrapped products... The links are below:
These people provide some very cool solutions for java. This link is specifically for excel.

Reading files from Java embedding.

Dear All,
My BPEL process has a Java embedding node, and it invokes a Java class, in which an xsl file is being read for transformation.
I deploy the xsl files directory together with BPEL package (the jar). In the package, I put the file dir at the root level, which means the jar structure looks like the following:
/BPEL-INF
/META-INF
/xsd
/xsl
*.wsdl
*.bpel
bpel.xml
The java class is package in /BPEL-INF dir, it's supposed to read files from /xsl dir.
My question is, how should I put the file path?
I tried "/xsl/***.xsl" and "../xsl/***.xsl", neither works. Although "/xsl/***.xsl" worked when testing in JDeveloper, but FileNotFound after deployment.
Thanks,
Haibo

I solved this issue by putting the files dir in /BPEL-INF/classes/. and use ClassLoader to read in those files.

Read BAPI from java

Hi All,
I had a requirement of reading values from BAPI through Java. Can anybody give me links or documents on how to connect to R/3 system from java. I know this can be done through JCO API or JCA API, but i could not find enough supportive documents in SDN. So please help me out.
Regards
Raghu

Dear Raghu
You can read the BAPI values using JCO objects and I providing you wiht the sample code for the same
public class BapiClass {

 IRepository R3repository=null;
 JCO.Function function=null;
 JCO.Table dataTable=null;
 String client = "040";
 String login = "developer";
 String pass = "sappmcoe1";
 String language = "en";
 String hostname = "hostname";
 String system = "00";
 String rfcException=null;
 String loginId=null;
// Variables for BAPI Vaues
 String DLCode=null;
 String Status=null;
 String Icon=null;
 String ToolTip=null;
 Alerts alert;
 ArrayList dataList = new ArrayList();
 ArrayList errorList= new ArrayList();
 Iterator alertsIter=null;
 Iterator errorIter=null;
 public BapiClass(){
 public void setLoginId(String loginId) {
 this.loginId = loginId;

 return alertsIter;
 public String getAlerts()
 int row=0;
 rfcException = "No Exception";
 try {
//Creating Connection
R3Client = JCO.createClient(
 client,
 login,
 pass,
 language,
 hostname,
 system);
 R3repository = JCO.createRepository("MyRepository", R3Client);
 }catch (Exception e)
 rfcException = "Error connecting to database system "+e.toString();
 return rfcException;
 try{
//Invoking BAPI
 IFunctionTemplate ftemplate =R3repository.getFunctionTemplate("ZSE_GETALERTS_NEW");
 function = new JCO.Function(ftemplate);
 JCO.ParameterList input=function.getImportParameterList();
 //input.setValue(loginId,"I_USERID");
 input.setValue(loginId,"I_USERID");
 R3Client.execute(function);
//E_ALERTS is the BAPI Output Table Name
 dataTable = function.getExportParameterList().getTable("E_ALERTS");
 row = dataTable.getNumRows();
 for (int i = 0; i < dataTable.getNumRows(); i++)
 dataTable.setRow(i);
 DLCode = dataTable.getString("DLCODE");
 Status=dataTable.getString("STATUS");
 Icon = dataTable.getString("ICON");
 ToolTip=dataTable.getString("TOOLTIP");
 alert=new Alerts(DLCode,Status,Icon,ToolTip);
 dataList.add(i, alert);
 alertsIter = dataList.iterator();

Using word/excel from java (client or weblogic server)

Hi everybody,
i want to use excel / word functionality from java in two different variants:
-> serverside
-> clientside
I tried the weblogic.comc and i got serveral classes but in the remote-package i got only a utitlity-class.
My knowlege about COM is rather bad.
Does anybody did this bevor and
-> can say me, if it is correct, that i only got a utility-class (so how will i use it from the client ?!)
-> has a example for using Excel / Word from Java in bea weblogic
-> has a example for using Excel / Word directly in a client (not via rmi)
Thanks
Ciao

Sven, This is a really bad idea. Why don't you tell me
what your trying to do and I wil surely give you a better alternative

Read Excel from sap server HDD

I want to read xls from path wich I see by FM RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL (server space) and how to read xls format to itab from this path?
ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE work only on local HDD (not server space)

Hi,
You need to use the OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET statements.
Here is a sample, This program will upload a comma delimited file from app server, and break it up into specific fields of an ITAB.
report ztest_0001
no standard page heading.
parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.csv'.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
fld1(20) type c,
fld2(20) type c,
fld3(20) type c,
end of itab.
data: wa(2000) type c.
start-of-selection.
open dataset d1 for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc = 0.
do.
read dataset d1 into wa.
if sy-subrc 0.
exit.
endif.
split wa at ',' into itab-fld1 itab-fld2 itab-fld3.
append itab.
enddo.
endif.
close dataset d1.

Invoking MS Excel from Java

HI,
I'm trying to create a standalone application that would need to logon in a database.If the user is a valid one, the user can then choose which table he wanted to update. All the rows of the column will be shown in an excel format. (the program will invoke Excel to show all the records in that table). From that, the user can edit the content and after saving it, data in the databse will also be updated.
Is there any Java API that I can use to make this application possible?
Thanks,

Hi Kundi,
by this time you might have solve your problem.
If not, in your case,
This could be you or user is closing the "Excel" application just appearing in front of there screen.
To solve this replace the following line with the new line of code in your application:
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(APPLICATION,'VISIBLE','TRUE');
with
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(APPLICATION,'VISIBLE','FALSE');
Hope this will solve the problem.
