Remove column name in generated CSV file through ODI

Hi,
I want to remove the column names in CSV file which I am creating through database.
I have tried putting "heading to zero in the the datastore", which I created for csv file, but it is not working.
Please assist.
Thanks,
Sudeep Naik

Okay let me explain.After creating your csv file you open it.If 1st row contains column name then during reverse you use heading as 1. Regarding c1,c2 these are the column name defined by odi.Its not going to come as your data.The way i told you just make it by giving header 1 then reverse it.After that just drag it to your interface.Then on interface right click on source table and click on view data.Here you can find if your column name is coming as data or not.Hope you are clear now.
Thanks.

Add header record with column names while writing csv file fileAdapter?

Hi I am writing the output of a query to csv file using fileadapter. but the file generated does not have the header record with the column names. how can I achieve this. please help.

I'm trying to do the same, but something is not right with my syntax and I haven't been able to resolve all day. Can someone spot what I'm doing wrong?
Here is the variable with the data I want to insert as the headers for the CSV:
Updated variable "CPARWebJEHeaders"
<CPARWebJEHeaders>
<Root-Element xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/CPWebJEARWrite">
<CPARWebJE>
<Project>Project</Project>
<Organization>CC_Org</Organization>
<Account>Account</Account>
<TransactionAmount>Amount</TransactionAmount>
<TransactionDesc>Description</TransactionDesc>
</CPARWebJE>
</Root-Element>
</CPARWebJEHeaders>
Here is the InputVariable data for my invoke to the File Adapter:
[2008/03/24 15:27:30] Updated variable "WriteCPARWebJEFile_Write_InputVariable"
<WriteCPARWebJEFile_Write_InputVariable>
<part xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="Root-Element">

</ns0:CPARWebJE>
</Root-Element>
</part>
</WriteCPARWebJEFile_Write_InputVariable>
This is my latest iteration of the insertBefore command, which is done right after the transformation populating the variable above:
<bpelx:assign>
<bpelx:insertBefore>
<bpelx:from variable="CPARWebJEHeaders" query="/ns12:Root-Element/ns12:CPARWebJE"/>
<bpelx:to variable="WriteCPARWebJEFile_Write_InputVariable" part="Root-Element"/>
</bpelx:insertBefore>
</bpelx:assign>
And finally, here is the current error message:
<selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
<part name="summary">
<summary>Assign Operation Misuse. The parent of the selection result does not exist or is not an XML element; insertBefore operation cannot be performed. Please check the BPEL source at line number "96" .</summary>
</part>
</selectionFailure>
I understand the error message, but for the life of me can't get it resolved. Trying to change the "to" variable, I can't even get the process to deploy. FYI this is on 10.1.2 and I can't go to 10.1.3 yet, but I think this is a syntax issue and not related to the version.
Thanks!

Hi Experts,
I am using DME to generate certain file, the file format is supposed to contain a fixed number of fields even if most are empty, with each field delimited or separated by comma (using CSV Standard File Format), and not tab or space delimited.
While customising the file through T-Code DMEE, file gets generated but not in CSV format due to which Bank system unable to read the data.
Please help me out in getting the file in the required format.
Its an urgent issue, hence looking for a quick reply from the experts.

Can we create .CSV files through documaker

Hi,
Is it possible to create .csv files through documaker apart from pdf's
Thanks

With apologies, it is still unclear (to me) what you are asking.
It is possible to create files using DAL, but to offer more specific guidance requires a better understanding of what it is that you want.
A CSV is a Comma-Separate Value file. A PDF file is a printed document file containing formatted text content, graphics, lines, boxes, etc - in other words a fully-composed document. I'm not exactly sure how a PDF and a CSV file could contain the same data.
Are you perhaps asking to get an index of the created PDF files written as a CSV file? Something that contains a row of key transaction data along with the file name of the generated PDF? Perhaps something akin to the batch (BCH) files that can be produced per transaction recipient?
Are you asking for an export file of all the field data that went into the creation of the document and included in the PDF? Normally a CSV has a header that describes the columns and then each row of data would be consistent with that header. Without knowing that every PDF file you create will have exactly the same number of fields defined, it is difficult to imagine that a single CSV file would be sufficient. And depending upon the number of fields and the size of the data assigned to each, this could be quite a long record per PDF in the resulting CSV file.
Or perhaps you had in mind to get a name / value pair written for each field with data written on separate lines? This would not a be a true CSV file, but could have the name and values separated by commas if that is what you require.
You have something specific in mind and yet, we are not in your mind. We need more specific information on exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

PL/SQL-Generate CSV file

I was told I was able to generate out a CSV file through UTL_FILE method. Can someone provide the skeleton of how should I create it in PL/SQL?
I tried google search but it only says in words and not code itself.
I have this PL/SQL that I will want to generate a CSV file.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SET TIMING ON;
DECLARE
 CURSOR C1
 IS
 select balance from contract ;
BEGIN
 FOR i IN C1 LOOP
IF i.balance <> '0' THEN
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Amount is not 0 ');
I will like to put the statement 'Amount is not 0 ' in a CSV file here
 else
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Amount is 0 ');
 END IF;
 end loop;
END;
/How am I suppose to do this?
Edited by: JoannaLee on Aug 26, 2008 7:14 PM

Your question is a bit confusing. In your subject line, and again in your question, you talk about generating a CSV file. That is a file of comma-separated values (hence the acryonym). But your question seems to be asking about generating a file with a sentence in it-- that would be a flat file but not a CSV file.
The links that were provided show you exactly how to generate a CSV file based on an arbitrary query.
If you are not looking to generate a CSV file, and instead you just want to generate a flat file to which you can write data, you'd just need to use the UTL_FILE package. Assuming you're on a recent version of Oracle, you would need to create a directory object, i.e.
CREATE DIRECTORY directory_name AS 'path_to_directory_on_database_server'Then you'd grant privileges on that directory object to whatever user will own the procedure that wants to write to the directory
GRANT read, write ON directory_name TO some_userIn your code, you'd just need to open the file and write to it
DECLARE
l_file utl_file.file_type;
BEGIN
l_file := utl_file.fopen( 'DIRECTORY_NAME', 'name_of_file', 'w' );
<<Other code>>
utf_file.put_line( l_file, 'String you want to write to the file' );
<<More code>>
utl_file.fclose( l_file );

How to use resource bundle entries for column names/title in .rpt file

Our application needs to be able to support reporting in multiple languages. Hence we do not want to put language specifiec column names in the rpt file but rather use text for a particular locale during runtime which in java world is easily achievable using Resource Bundle entries.Does JRC allow for using resource bundle entries as column names or for that matter for titles etc. in the .rpt file?

Hi,
You can follow this step-by-step tutorial to find out how to achieve this using our User Function Libraries (UFLs). The walkthrough can be found here:

It seems that you are trying to use the file as your staging areas. Hyperion LKM extracts essbase data into a DB staging area which can then be used by your file IKM to load it into file.
You need to use a RDBMS for your staging area.

Issue while generating a CSV file through Oracle.

Hi,
I am generating a CSV file using oracle stored procedure.
In an Oracle procedure I need to create a CSV file, which contains the data of a select query, and then emailing this file. Problem is that one of the field contains comma eg ('ABC,DE'). Now in the CSV file 'ABC' is shown in the one cell and 'DE' is shifted to the adjacent cell which is not required..
Thanks.

Hi Welcome,
If you data contains comma then make ~ as your delimeter.
or repalce all the commas form your data.
select replace(column_name,',','') from table_name; /* before writing to the file */Regards,
Bhushan

Uploading a csv file through XDB FTP

Hello
I'm developing a project where i need to upload a big amount of data, contained in a CSV file, on the file system of a database server and it would be great if the FTP service provided with XDB could be used to achieve such a job.
Does somebody know if XDB-FTP is able to upload files outside the XML repository and to upload them directly ( without intermediate steps that may generate heavy redo-log generation ) into a file-system on the database server?
I'd like to consider other good alternatives too, now I'm using a different FTP server but I would like to avoid this dependency.
Thanks

Matching a server to an owners name in a CSV file

I am able to go through this 1000 line plus CSV file with this foreach loop to find the owner of the server. But I feel there should be a cleaner way. Here is what I have so far
$sharepoint = Import-Csv "C:\PatchCheck\SharePoint.csv"
foreach ($i in $sharepoint)
    if ($i.'Server Name' -eq 'ABCARCTPACS01')
        $appowner = $i.'App Owner'
    Write-Host $appowner
This will work but I feel it is working to hard for what I want to do. I need to match up the 'Server Name' with the 'App Owner' for all 1000+ servers.
at some point I would like to pull this information from SharePoint where I extracted the CSV file from.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

1000+ names in a file are trivial. YOU wl not notice it if it is not perfect.
Perhaps a tutorial on looping and code formatting would help:
Here is the melt down of your guess. A little study will explain it.
Import-Csv C:\PatchCheck\SharePoint.csv | where-object{$_.'Server Name' -eq 'ABCARCTPACS01'}
It is good that you used single quotes. Few new users know how to do that.

How to generate PDF file through reports using forms 6i

Hi all,

Regards
Vids

hi,
regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
In the report you should set the properties like
destype to 'file'
desname to 'path with file name'
desformat to 'pdf'
