Save Report to File.vi closing file problems

I have a while loop running in which I generate data. At the end of a sequence in the while loop, I create an HTML report and save the report file to disk. My problem is that the next time the while loop generates data and goes to save the new HTML report, I get a file permission error (Error 8) in the delete file subvi. I use the delete file subvi so that I can programmatically replace the HTML report file. I believe that the problem is in the "Save Report to File.vi" in that it does not close the file after it writes it. Any comments?

Unfortunately i couldn't open your example as i only have LV 6.0, but i looked at the 'Save report to File.vi' in LV 6.0 and it basically only contains a 'Write characters to file.vi' for file handling. In LV 6.0 this vi does contain a 'Close file+.vi' which has an input called 'close when? (now:T)'. Make sure this is wired as True (default) and the file will close, and you should be able to delete the file (as long as the delete event occurs afterwards (make sure it is wired in sequence). In the LV help, it says the reason for the 'Write characters to file.vi' only closing if you tell it to (set as default) or if there is an error is so you can continually use it in a loop, writing characters to file, without closing, and then send a command to close
it only on the last loop, or if there is an error. Therefore i dont think it is a bug, but i think there should be a wire for it on the 'Write characters to file.vi'.
I hope this helps you..

Not able to save report output in a text file and RTF file

I am using Oracle Developer6.0 . I am facing problem with reports. I am invoking reports from form using run_product.
1. I could not able to save the report in text file . Whenever i try to save the report output in a text file.It gives dump and application get closed.
2. In RTF format , it execute the query which i have given at the design time while creating a report . But while running i am passing query either through lexical parameter or passing value of where criteria user parameters. It display the output for the specified value. But when i save this report output in rtf file . It execute design time query and save that in a rtf file.
If any body is having any idea about it . Please let me ASAP . It is very urgent for me.
Thanks in advance

Try the following:
Do not generate the report to .rep file, but rename/copy the .rdf file to .rep file and execute it.

How to save report output in a PDF file and also show preview in one processing cycle

Hi every body,
We R re-developing an application from COBOL to Oracle.
Using Reports 6i 6.0.8.11.3.
The requirement is that whenever a user processes a report, it should be saved on disk say in PDF format. Then it should be shown in Reports Runtime Previewer.
So far I have explored that only one of theses can be done in one processing cycle.
That is if we set DESTYPE to FILe it will only be saved to disk. If we set DESTYPE to Preview, the report can be previewed and optionally printed but not saved.
I want that both saving to disk and preview should be possible.
I have explored .DST file option but there is only provision for FILE, PRINTER and MAIL.
Printing facility should be optional, otherwise we would have used FILE and PRINTER destinations in .DST file.
Once that file is saved on disk, it can later on be printer if user requires more copies.
I would prefer a solution other than User_exit as I don't have training in developing user_exits.
Any help please.
Tariq

I had a similar requirement and decided to run the report from forms. When a button is pressed, the report is run to create the pdf file, followed by separate command to invoke acrobat reader or internet explorer to display the file, rather than using reports previewer.
The file can be displayed from forms by a host command in client server, or by web.show_document on the web.

Adobe Acrobat, Print multiple files to PDF and merge open files to closed files?

I have Adobe Acrobat XI Professional.
Print to PDF – How can this be done for more than 15 documents at a time? Right now, if I select 16 or more documents, I cannot ‘right click’ and choose ‘print’. Is this a setting issue? If I have many documents I need to print to PDF at once, it would be helpful if there wasn’t this limitation. Background: This needs to be done to PDF files created from Adobe Live Cycle (and possibly from other software) because the files cannot be merged unless they are ‘printed to PDF’ first. I don't know an alternate way to merge these files.
Also, if I have a multi-page PDF open and I need to parse out the pages to different files, is it possible to drag the selected pages out of the open PDF and hover over a closed PDF and have them added to the end of the closed PDF document? I don't know of a way to do this, but I thought I would check to see if anyone else was aware of a simpler way to parse pages from one document into several pre-existing documents without opening each and dragging the files between them.
Thanks!

Thank you for your response...I can do the additional step to combine them, the problem that I have is that the documents need to be in chronological order. If I print them to the pdf printer or export them, either way, windows sorts them and they are no longer chronological. While I can organize them when I combine them there are many times that there way too many that need combined into one pdf, making it a very inefficient and cumbersome process to do. So I was in hopes there was a way to just have the pdf printer create one file instead of one for each document, it would keep them in chronological order. I suppose I could number them on the print to keep them chronological - but when there are 75 or 100 documents it is a bit of a pain to sit there and respond to each document as it is being printed, and then need to do the additional step of combining. My goal in this process is to gain efficiency so thought I would see if anyone knew how to use the pdf printer to create the single file.

Pages only offered a save version option and after closing I can no longer find the file

After finishing my 21 page document, I exported to PDF changing the file name. Opened the file menu, noted that there was no save option only save a version and then closed the document, presuming the autosave would have worked as usual. I can now no longer find the file.
Can I recover it? Have I done something wrong as I never have had this concern before.

If I recall right you can always get Save or Save as by Press Option key when clicking on the File menu.
The problem is that you can't find the file. i am not the right person to help you as i still rather use Snow Leopard then the newer MacOs versions.

10g Report to file causes unix permission problems

I'm in the process of testing out one of the new options of 10g reports to have a report run from the command line and have the results file sent to a Unix directory for further use.
Here is a sample of my run:
http://myserver:port/reports/rwservlet?server=myreport_server+report=myreport.rep+userid=userid/pswd/@db+desformat=pdf+destype=file+desname=/tmp/my_report.pdf
The results I see in the Unix directory are:
rw-r--- 1 oracle dba my_report.pdf
With the Unix permission set to 640, how does a user outside of the owner or group read this file. Is there a setting in a 10g environment variable somewhere to set the permissions to 644 so others can read the file?
Thanks,
Tom Vereecke

Problem with idlk files not closing

I am running InDesign CS6, version 8 on a MacBook Pro. The MacBook is running OS X 10.8.3.
When I close files, the .idlk files stay open. Then I have trouble reopening them. InDesign thinks that another user is modifying the file.
So, I cannot save files, nor can I reopen them, InDesign thinks the file is open by someone else when in fact no one is.
If I restart, the idlk files are cleared out.
I am completely stumped by this. I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling the application with no luck.

I have found lock files still open days after closing a file.
This is a new computer and I have had problems with ID since switching to it from my old iMac. I am also experiencing another problem. Occasionally when I print a file, ID crashes. Once it crashes I cannot get it to open again until i reboot. Otherwishe it crashes immediately upon trying to start the program. Very frustrating. I have never had a problem with ID before this new laptop and I've been using it heavily on a daily basis for 12 years. I am in the process of updating 9 books and I am stopped in my tracks by this issue.

Report generation vi's-save report to file.vi

I am a new user of LabVIEW. I'm using the Report Generation Toolkit VI's to do some customized reports.
1. how can I stop the report from popping up on the front panel when I initialize the report to be done. I know you can use "minimized" but that takes a few seconds to minimize and I would like to NOT see the report I'm generating pop-up at all.
2. I want use this customized report and constantly be saving data when a reset button is pushed. That is save the time stamp, the change in data etc on a continuous basis in 1 folder. Right now when I use the "Save Report to File. Vi" it over writes the previous data saved and all that data is lost. I need to be constantly saving all the data generated to be able to look back at it.
Thanks.

Hi shaef,
Which version of LV and Report Generation Toolkit are you using?
Assuming you are using LV 8.5 and RGT 1.1.2, then the attached screenshot should offer some help. Basically, you need to wire in the existing file as your template in order to not just overwrite the old data. You also need to make use of the series of 'Append' VIs that are in the toolkit.
Let us know if this works for you,

How to use active X controls to read/write protect an excel or word document created by created by Save Report to File VI

Hi all,
I'm trying to creat a word and excel documents using Save Report to File VI. When wiring a password to this last VI, the document created are only protected against writing but not reading. How can I use active X controls to password protect these documents against reading?
Thanks a bunch!
O

There is no predefined functionality available in LabVIEW. So you have to implement this on your own.
It seems to me that you own the Office Report Generation Toolkit. You can use the Excel Get ActiveX References.vi from the Excel Specific >> Advanced palette to get access to the "generic" ActiveX Excel references. Starting from this point, you can use property and invoke nodes to get to the setting you are going to modify.
Please refer to this link for information on Excel password protection. I have not searched for the object giving you access to those settings though....
hope this helps,

"save report to file"

I wish to use the "save report to file" function to save to a network, but if the network is not available (error code 6) then I wish to save the file locally on my C: drive. How can I capture this 'error code 6' before it happens and then divert the file to the local drive instead without any pop-up's?

Hi Steve,
I have been looking into your issues for you. Firstly, I must advise that either of the recommendations on this page are perfectly valid methods for achieving your desired results. The Check if File or Folder Exists VI could be used to determine whether a specific path on the network exists which will output a Boolean which indicates the outcome. This Boolean can then be used to select which path to save the file to using a case structure. A very simple example of this has been attached below. This approach would ensure that the error would never occur therefore eradicating your error pop-up issue.
For this particular instance I would recommend using the above method, though for more complex applications it may be worth adopting a more sophisticated manual error handling strategy rather than automatic error handling that is used by default. For more information on this, see the following document.

Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 crash upon save, leaves small sized corrupt PSD file

Hi!
I've just updated our retouchers Photoshop CS4 to 11.0.1 but one of the issues we had with 11.0.0 remains. The problem doesn't happen that often, but since the result is an unusable .PSD file it's pretty nasty...
Sometimes when saving Photoshop crashes and the .PSD that was to be saved becomes a small (68 KB in the last example) and unusable.
The hardware/software we have:
Mac Pro 2.66 GHz (some with 5 GB RAM and some with 9 GB RAM)
Mac OS X 10.5.6
Photoshop CS4 Standard (updated to 11.0.1)
People work on server volumes shared via AFP. I've heard saving over the network isn't supported, but there's no other way, plus this issue never happened in CS3 so...
Any ideas on what can be done?

This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that
normally, it does work
, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please
cease and desist immediately
in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html
Copy the
CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

File Error: Unknown File - when doing save as

yet another variation on the file problems i am having.
opened an aotosave file and tried to 'Save project as",
wont do it, reports "File error: unknown file"
the same error i get often when trying to "save as" the original,
and the same error i get if i make a copy of the FCP file in the finer, open it and try to save it, it wont do it.....
so with the main sequence in my project getting lost ("not found"),
i now find that its almost impossible to make a backup that works....
anyone know about this SERIOUS FAULT.
i can think of no reason why it cant handle the most basic act of keeping assets attached to the program.
new computer, new drives, new everything..
i am now working really scared, when it loses the main sequence again (1 hour), the latest backup that might work could be anything from 1 - 5 days old, who knows, and there goes days of work...
======================================
FCP6
HDV captures.
Main sequence is prores render.
Files and media on one 750G drive in the Mac Pro box.
deleted all render files yesterday, now only about 15 there.
changed MP3 tracks to aif.
have done FCP resue often
have done permissions
have upgraded to 10.4.10

i now find that its almost impossible to make a backup that works....
anyone know about this SERIOUS FAULT.
i can think of no reason why it cant handle the most basic act of keeping assets attached to the program.
new computer, new drives, new everything..
Except that this issue is almost always totally unrelated to FCP at all.
Paulo has dome great anecdotal advice but this is usually a fiel permissions problem. No idea how it gets changed but you can run Disk Utility and repair permissions. Do it twice. then Get Info on your drive and see what the privileges are. Do the same for your FCP projects folders. Get info on your FCP project file itself.
You need to get this figured out before you invest any more time in editing.

Save as PDF in Excel rewrites file when saving multiple sheets

Hello,
I'm having issues saving Excel files to PDF when multiple sheets of a workbook are active. I constantly need to print multiple sheets of a workbook for a service report, but when multiple tabs are highlighted to print/save it will save each sheet as the output file but immediately overwrite the saved file with the next sheet. So if I have four sheets active and go to print/pdf/save to pdf I will briefly see a "processing page" message box for each sheet but in the end I will only have one pdf file of the last active sheet. A single sheet will save beautifully but it's kind of a pain to constantly string together the pdf files. I looked through the Excel forum, but it seems they point anything pdf related back to OS X. I'm running XL 12.1.5 and OS X 10.5.6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've been having the same problem... after not finding a solution on this page, I finally found an answer that worked for me. As the Adobe support link below states... change the "Print Quality" to be the same for all sheets, then use the Print dialog box rather than the Save As dialog box. In the Print dialog box, choose the "save as PDF" option" (on the lower left for me). This finally solved my multiple file problem.
