Reports 2.5 over-writing an existing output file

When I try to save the Reports 2.5 output to a file that already exists, the application seems to work. However, the Report Server logs indicate an error - Rep 1081 - Unable to open file ...
When you check if the file was created, its even worse that the original file has already been deleted - (puff! ... gone).
Am on NT4.0 as client, could this be an NT bug or am just missing something on my code?
Hints and suggestions please.

I really appreciate your help, but I already changed the configuration to open a file path taking another ActiveX example as a reference. Here is my subVI's I used, but they are merged in LLB. I am sorry for my ignorance of how to extract all the subVI's from this file.

How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files?

How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files? So far the only options I have found are to increment the output file name or fail. From the explaination of file increment I would have expected overwrite to be the alternative. We work daily with the same file(s) on an hourly basis and convert via watch folder to over a dozen file types and network mapped destinations. Re-using the same file name is critical to the final project (updating website content). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Has there been any updates on overwriting output files in CS6? This would be extremely helpful.

How to generate report in a predefined naming convention for output file

Hi Expert
I have devloped one report in which i am getting the output as my required way.
Now I need to name my report output in WCO.PM_sto.13-06-2011 format.
where WCO is constant for all report output
PM_sto is the parameter for which the report got generated
and next part is the date of generation of the report.
Each section is connected in a '.' in between them.
Kindly let me know how can i achieve this.

Srikant

If you are bursting the report,
then you have flex to change and do what you asked for, you got to do it in Bursting query.

Writing to an output file

Hello all,
    I have an ABAP program in BW which reads the data from a BW ODS active table and writes the output to an external file on the server.
    The file that is generated is huge(13 MB). The file is generated with the correct results, but along with the data, the program header(filename, path, etc) is also written to the output file which is undesirable. The header is written for every few hundred pages. I want to avoid this.
Database is Oracle.
   The syntax for the file declaration is..
PARAMETERS: fileout(120) type c lower case default 'xxxx.csv'
                    obligatory.
and the open statement is as follows....
OPEN DATASET fileout FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFUALT.
In the above statement I want to try taking out the "ENCODING DEFAULT" clause, but it says "in TEXT MODE the ENCODING must be added". I have seen other programs which are already there without that clause.
   Any suggestions will greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Applet writing on a output file

I am new to JAVA and I've got jdk 1.4.1 downloaded.
I am thinking it is possible to have a JAVA applet
which writes on a output file.
In order to do that, I tried to use the code below, where the Applet "write.class" should display a string on a painted area and write to file "myfile.txt".
Now compilation is OK (no error or warning messages), and I tried to incorporate this Applet into a HTML code (by using the sintax <applet code="write.class" width=200 height=50> </applet>).
When I open the HTML document using Internet Explorer the Applet is run, but the file "myfile.txt" is not created.
Can somebody explain me what is going wrong?
Any suggestion or comment is welcome and appreciated.
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
public class write extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("The Java Applet is Writing!",20,30);
     main();
public static void main(){
FileOutputStream out;
PrintStream p;
     try
          out = new FileOutputStream("myfile.txt");
p = new PrintStream( out );
          p.println ("This is to be written to a file");
p.close();
     catch (Exception e)
          System.err.println ("Error writing to file");

applets are not allowed to write to the local file system.

Powershell scripts not writing it to output file

Hi,
Below is my script which loops through all sites and web in a site collection and if the particular web part is added in a page, it will give the page URL and it should be written to a output file.
function enumerateWebParts($Url)
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication $Url #Get WebApplication URL
foreach($web in $webApp | Get-SPSite -Limit All | Get-SPWeb -Limit All) #foreach loop to iterate through all sites and webs of WebApplication
if ([Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::IsPublishingWeb($web)) #Check if site is a publishing site
$pWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($web)
$pages = $pWeb.PagesList
foreach ($item in $pages.Items)
$fileUrl = $webUrl + "/" + $item.File.Url
$manager = $item.file.GetLimitedWebPartManager([System.Web.UI.WebControls.Webparts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared);
$wps = $manager.webparts
foreach ($type in $wps) #loop through each type found $wps
#Write-Host " type searching";
Write-Host $type.GetType().Name;
if ($type.GetType().Name -eq "RightMenu") #if webpart $type -like KWizCom select webpart object
Write-Host "found";
$wps | select-object @{Expression={$pWeb.Url};Label="Web URL"},@{Expression={$fileUrl};Label="Page URL"},DisplayTitle, IsVisible, @{Expression={$type};Label="Type"}

Try
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10340007/exporting-powershell-output-to-text-file
You can always redirect the output an exe to a file like so (even from cmd.exe):
powershell c:\test.ps1 > c:\test.log
Within PowerShell, you can also redirect individual commands to file
but in those cases you probably want to append to the log file rather
than overwrite it e.g.:
$logFile = 'c:\temp\test.log'
"Executing script $($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path)" > $logFile
foreach ($proc in Get-Process) {
$proc.Name >> $logFile
"Another log message here" >> $logFile

Adobe media encoder cc will not save output file destination

Hello all,
Hopefully a simple issue here. I'm running windows 7 and just downloaded AME CC. I've tried over and over to save my output file destination in Preferences and have saved my media cache files to the same location and the saves will not take. I was able to get it to go to the drive and folder I specified ONLY when I clicked the "Match Sequence Settings" tab in the AME pop up window. My settings need to be different, so I leave the box unchecked. Anyone else having this issue? Can anyone help me out getting this simple function to work? I saw a short thread on Creative Cow dated February 2013 with the same concern from a user and I did not see a resolution at the end. I have not been able to find anything on this anywhere. Sure, I can continue to manually save each file I render in AME, but it's a big PITA. I finally was in between projects so I downloaded the CC upgrade and replaced my CS6 version and now I have this simple problem from an alleged upgrade? Help please.
Thank you.
Todd

Premiere sequences queued to AME from the Export Settings dialog won't honor AME's output path preference. Instead, they default to the last path used from Exp. Settings via Premiere. However, you should be able to get the result you want by queue-ing to AME's default path once from Premiere, which will make it Premiere's default as well.
Or, you could drag and drop your sequence from the Project panel directly into AME's queue; that will use AME's preference instead of Premiere's default path.

Urgent: How to break pdf output file in multiple pdf files without bursting

Hi all,
I am developing a rtf template which will take a xml file which contains data for many employees. Now the requirement is to create a individual pdf file for each user. I know that it can be done through Oracle bi publisher's interface through bursting but we don't have that option. We have to do it at template level.
Right now my template produces report for multiple employees on a new page.
<?for-each-group@section:row;./USERS_SYS_ID?><?split-by-page-break:?>
<?end for-each-group?>
Is there any method like <?split-by-file-break:?> by which each employee report can be started in a new output file.
Thanks and Regards,

Thanks, George!
I will try your suggestion.
While waiting for a response, I ran into another problem:
Some of the PDF documents I am to work from are "protected," meaning I can read them but not extract any pages or click to add them to a list of files to import...but I need to extract some or all pages from it. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks!

No output file on custom Invoice Report

Hi,
I have made custom reports using Reports/XMLP for PO, Consolidated Invoice and Invoice. PO and Consolidated Invoice are running fine, my problem is with Standard Invoice.
I made a modification to the datamodel of the standard report (RAXINV.rdf), creating a new report with the modified data
(RAXINV_FAR.rdf). After uploading the report and creating the request, I
followed all the steps that appear in the XMLP User Guide (Generate & register
data definition, design and register the layout rdf model). After running the concurrent program It ends with no errors, but when I try to fetch the Output. Under View->Requests->Find->View
Output, I get the error message: "Unable to find published output for this
request" and after clicking 'OK' I get "No output file exists for request
XXXXXX".
The funny thing is that if I run the Concurrent "XML Report Publisher" I can retrieve the missing Output.
Is there a patch/workaround to get the output without running "XML Report Publisher"?
I´m on EBS 11.5.10.2 and the XMLP version is 5.0.0

Stupid case of RTFM -- as I'd changed the mapping (as per other post) to include the ITEM as the higher level node this is the parameeter I need in the recordset
so when recordset parameter is changed to item the other parameters rmaining the same)
the file works fine
Output text file
1000001|One-time ship-to|ONE-TIME
1000005|ddfask|;LK;L
1000010|One Time Customer Test|SADFIWQEFG
I've given you the points in any case --although I solved the problem before I saw your post you put me on to the correct track from my other related post where I was missing the higher level node in the data and message mappings
Cheers
and thanks

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and
service packs. Nothing we've done so far has fixed it and I see that I'm not the only person with this problem. However I don't see any answers either.

Hi Kim Sharp,
According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2 view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
use ReportServer
SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
FROM ExecutionLog2
ORDER BY Timestart DESC
Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
Besides this, you could also follow these articles for more information about this issue:

Open an existing Excel file created by Report Generation Toolkit

How would I open an existing Excel file that has been created by the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit?
Let me explain my application. I have made a test program to collect data on a device. Each time I run the program I want it to append a new row onto an existing data file. Since the tests I do are sometimes over a period of days, I cannot keep the program open and running continuously. So I have to open an existing file and append the new data to it. In technical terms, what I need is to get the 'report out' reference to the existing Excel data file without losing the data that is already there.

For info on accessing Excel do a search in the examples for the word "Excel" you will get an example that shows how to open a spreadsheet and manipulate the data. This should get you started.

By default where does report write output files on web server

I am running forms and reports over web. I am running a form which on the click of a button runs a report. Using the
Orarrp utility (I already have) I want to print this report.
In my form trigger I am using the run_report_object and I set report parameters DESTYPE to File, and I set
DESNAME giving it a file name. When report finishes, I use Show_Document('http://server:domain/filename.ext','_blank'),
it returns the 404 error, The requested URL /receipt.rrpa was not found on this server.
Can anyone tell me, by default where the server writes the file output? I have checked under
$ORACLE_HOME/reports60/server/cache but did not find my output file.
Is there a way to specifically direct the output file to a directory, and have the reports server recognize the path?
Perhaps using some sort of 'Virtual Path' in the server configuration, but where?
Any help is appreciated?
Regards
Mark

Hi,
destype file writes the file to wherever you send it to.
destype=file desname = c:\temp\myRep.html
creates the file myRep.html in the temp directory on the server. Destype 'cache' only writes to the Cache directory you mention. normally, if not giving any directory information, it's the working directory that the file gets created in. Do a seacrh for your file and I am sure that you'll find it.

Hi Mark,
In Oracle Reports 6i, reports is only written to cache when DESTYPE=cache. For DESTYPE=File, the report is wriiten in DESNAME mentioned.
Your URL : http://server:domain/filename.ext, filename.ext is respective to the WebServer root directory. Assume your Webserver roor directory is "d:\apache\home".
Set the DESNAME respective to your Webserver root directory (DESNAME=d:\apache\home\filename.ext).

Report Generation tool kit for MS office (Opening an existing excel file and appending to the bottom)

I don't have any problems creating and filling an excel sheet with data. I use the New Report.vi, Easy Title.vi, and Easy Text.vi to create the file. I then save and dispose properly.
What I don't seem to be able to do is open the exsting file and append data to the end of the sheet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
todd

Hi Todd,
You can do this by creating a new Excel report with the existing excel file path wired to the "template" input. Then use "Excel Get Last Row.vi" (located under Report Generation\Excel Specific\Excel General) to obtain the location of the last row. Then use that location to input new data into the file.
Hope this helps,
Dan
