How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

Submiting forms returns a "Save As File" dialog box

I've got a form that users return via email, one user always gets a Save As File dialog box and since this doesn't match the instructions. User doesn't return the form as others do. Any help greatly appreiciated.

JFileChooser does support a "save-as" dialog. Follow the link from the API documentation to the tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html

After clicking "Save" in "Save as" file dialog, the dialog disappears but no download is started. Is this a Windows 7 64 bit issue? It works fine in Windows XP.

I am trying to download the iTunes installer for Windows 7 64 bit.
I have "Always ask me where to save files" checked in Firefox's download options.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) In the iTunes download page I click the "Download now" link and Firefox shows me a "Opening iTunes64Setup.exe" dialog with a "Save File" button.
2) I click the "Save File" button. Sometimes the dialog disappears but nothing else happens. Other times I get the Windows 7 "Save as" dialog.
3) I click the "Save" button in the save file dialog (I'm using the default user documents folder). The dialog disappears and nothing happens.
If I uncheck "Always ask me where to save files" then the download works fine.
I also have a Windows XP 32 bit with the same configuration where everything works fine which makes me think that this problem only happens in Windows 7 or in the 64 bit version.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Save as file dialog

Hello everybody,
I am new in the J2EE environment and would appreciate if somebody could extend their help to answer my question. I have developed few servlets that speak to the database and display the query results to the jsp page. Now I would like to facilitate the clients to download the content as text file to their own system. I was wondering using what package I could facilitate a "file save-as" dialog using which the clients can decide where to save the files on their own system. Thanks in advance.

Just the javax.servlet and java.io packages are sufficient. All you need is to set the content-disposition in the response header to 'attachment', set the content-length and content-type accordingly and write the inputstream of the file to the outputstream of the response.
Here you can find an example of such a FileServlet: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].

Save as file dialog can't browse

I'm a Snow Leopard newbie. When I save a file (e.g. OpenOffice 'save as'), I get a file dialog where I can only choose between a few 'places' to save the file. I don't get to choose a new directory that I'd like to save to.
Help would be greatly appreciated!

There's a little downward-pointing triangle button next to the place where you type the name... click that and you'll get more options.

How to get file download dialog box in IE 6.0 for .CSV files?

In our Java application, when we download .csv file (by clicking a tool bar button or menu item) in IE 5.5, it brings up the download dialog box and when we click the open button it opens the file in a seperate browser window but after migrating to IE 6.0 it doesn't bring the download dialog box and we are not able to open the excle sheet in a new browser window.
We tried downloading .csv file in IE 6.0 by changing its extension(such as .cs1 and .xls) even then it did not work.We also tried associating CSV type of extension with "Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File" in the Windows folder options (Windows Explorer->tools->folder options->file types(tab)), which did not work.
Please respond if you have come across this kind of issue and solution for the same.
Thanks in Advance

This has nothing to do with Java. It's Microsoft
setting for known file type. IE is responding to the
setting which will automatically download known file
type (MIME type).
To show the "Save As" file dialog, you have to do the
following (for each file type)
1. open Window Explorer
2. click on Tool-->"Folder Option"
3. click on the "File Type" tab
4. select the extension and then click on the
"Advance" button
5. Check the "Confirm open after download" checkbox
6. Click OK
IE should now display the "Save As" file dialog for
that extension. Remeber, you have to to this for all
extension you want to see a "file dialog" pop up.Unfortunately this is not the only cause. Even with this box checked, downloading java source files from the pages of The Java Tutorial causes them to open in the most recent IE - I (and others also) don't get the save/open dialog box. Java source files downloaded from (some) other websites result in the save/open dialog box. I believe that one of the security changes that MS made in IE's handling of files is the cause. The setting of content-disposition by the server appears to be the key, according to MSDN information.

Simple save as .csv file

Hi,
is it possible to simplyfie the save as .csv file dialog? etc. by using filedialog in vba?
each time i save as .csv i need to say yes to save in older format, select wich map i want to use...
if i in VBA could have som file dialog brosing to the file i want to use etc.:
stringtosave = "c:\testfiles\test.csv"
and then call:
FileSaveAs Name:=stringtosave , FormatID:="MSProject.CSV", map:="MapiwillUse"
Regards
Toni

Hello Toni,
I haven't had time to test this myself (it's Saturday!), but i suspect if you bracket your FileSaveAs command turning the MS Project alerts off and back on again, the alert box you're seeing will be suppressed:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
FileSaveAs Name:=stringtosave , FormatID:="MSProject.CSV", map:="MapiwillUse"
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
If you wanted to get a dialogue to browse for the folder, you'll need to use an API call. Chip Pearson has posted a how to guide on how to browse for a folder using the API call "SHBrowseForFolderA". His website focusses on MS Excel VBA, but I've
used this code myself in MS Project and can confirm it works the same.
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/browsefolder.aspx
####Update####
Rereading your question after posting my response, I think you'll want to browse for a file rather than a folder, which is a different api call - "ahtCommonFileOpenSave".
I did a quick google search and the clearest example I came across was this one - again, not written for MS Project, but the code is the same:

Save File Dialog with PDF servlet

I've looked through messages posted relavent to this topic but I'm having trouble finding a solution to my particular problem.
I'm running a servlet that is used to dynamically generate completed business documents using given a customer number. The servlet loads the customer information, generates a collection of forms as a single pdf document and sends it back to the browser.
The problem is, the servlet doesn't work in one of the scenarios that is required: we email a link to an adminstrator that clicks on the link to view the documents, e.g.:
http://myhost/myservlet.srv?custno=1234
When you click on the link in the email (using Outlook), you always get the "save/open file" dialog box. If you click cancel AND LEAVE THE BROWSER OPEN and click on the link again in the email, everything works fine--the pdf document opens up in Adobe. It's just when the OS has to launch a new browser window that it doesn't work and you get the dialog.
I've tried using the content disposition header (both inline and attachment). I've tried setting the content length. I've tried adding no cache headers. Nothing seems to work for this particular use case.
Anybody seen this before? I could really use a hint.

There are two thing that u can do.
First try setting the contenttype as text/html and see
if it works. The reason its opening a download box is
that the stream is coming as a .pdf header and browser
is not getting a plug in for the same.
another way is a bit patchy.
you have to set some kind of parameter with your url
that u send in e-mail.
then depending on this parameter. first send a
javascript to reload the page.
something like.
if (request.getParameter("isMail))
//send
javascript:document.location().substring(0,indexOf('&is
ail');
else
//your normal processing
this way browser will actually resubmit the request
from browser itself and will resume your normal
processing.
Regards
KuldeepThis is kind of what we finally did. We decided that rather than have the url point directly at the servlet, we had the link point at a jsp that simply digests the parameters and constructs a new url to the servlet and then sends a redirect to the browser to the new url.

Can any version of Excel save to a CSV file that is either UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded (unicode)?

Are there any versions of Excel (chinese, japanese, russian... 2003, 2007, 2010...) that can save CSV files in Unicode (either UTF-8 or UTF-16)?
If not, is the only solution to go with tab-delimited files (save as Unicode-text option)?

Hi Mark,
I have the same problem. Trying to save my CSV file in UTF8 encoding. After several hours in searching and trying this also in my VSTO Add-In I got nothing. Saving file as Unicode option in Excel creates file as TAB separated. Because I'd like to save the
file in my Add-In application, the best to do is (for my problem) saving file as unicode tab delimited and then replacing all tabs with commas in the file automatically.
I don't think there is a direct way to save CSV as unicode in Excel. And I don't understand why.

To show the result of 2 grids in a single csv file

Hi,
i want to show 2 grids(seperately) in a csv file.i created a aggregate query that is giving me result of 2 grid seperately but when i use a igrid template with aggregate query it is giving me result in a single row.i.e instead of giving 2 grids it is giving result with all the columns in a single row .I am using Applet.saveas CSV File();is there any way to have 2 seperate grid in a single Excel file.
thanks in advance.

Karthik
Aggregate Query is mostly used to combine multiple queries which have at least one common column among those.
For ur requirement, u can use direct BLS with the help of Action Block WriteFile.
Scenario : u hv 2 queries - one with 4 columns A, B, C & D; another with 2 columns E & F
U want to display those tables separately in one single Excel Sheet.
Solution : Forget AggregateQuery and Take the following steps
Step 1: Take those two Queries in one sequence
Step 2: Define two Local variables - Text1 & Text2 with String Data Type
Step 3: Use Repeater to loop one query's result and Assign the Looping results to the Local.Text1 using action Assignment as following expression in the Link Editor
Local.Text1 &
Repeater_0.Output{/Row/A} & tab &
Repeater_0.Output{/Row/B} & tab &
Repeater_0.Output{/Row/C} & tab &
Repeater_0.Output{/Row/D} & crlf

Step 4: Use another Repeater outside the first Repeater to loop 2nd query's result and Assign the looping results to the Local.Text2 in similarly way as follows in the Link Editor

Local.Text2 &
Repeater_1.Output{/Row/E} & tab &
Repeater_1.Output{/Row/F} & crlf

Step 5: Use action WriteFile outside those above Repeaters and take the mode APPEND and FilePath C:
test
TwoTables.xls and Text as follows

"A" & tab & "B" & tab & "C" & tab & "D" & crlf & Local.Text1 & crlf & crlf &
"E" & tab & "F" & crlf & Local.Text2

in the Link Editor
Step 6: Hit F5/F6 and see the Excel File with two tables showing separately in the mentioned path above.

Blank page shown instead of Open/Save As dialog box-CSV file download in IE

I am migrating an application hosted earlier on Oracle 9iAS (9.0.3.1 BP1) to OracleAS 10g (10.1.3) with Struts 1.2.9. While the below JSP code worked for the earlier s/w stack when accessed using IE 5.5 SP2 or above, a blank page is displayed with the new s/w stack. What I mean by "worked earlier" is this. A "Open/Save As" dialog box would appear. Trying to "Open" would open a new IE window launching MS Excel and displaying correct data. Trying to "Save As" would display correct filename and extension in the dialog box.
<%@page autoFlush="false" contentType="application/x-filler"%>
<%
try
String fileName = "ABC.CSV";
String strData = "A,B,C";
response.setContentLength(strData.length());
response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename="+fileName);
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
ouputStream.write(strData.getBytes(), 0, strData.getBytes().length);
ouputStream.flush();
ouputStream.close();
catch(Exception e)
%>
I tried some changes listed below:
1. Deliberately introduced compilation errors in the JSP code.
2. Changed contentType="application/x-filler" to various MIME types like application/x-download, application/vnd.ms-excel, removing it altogether.
3. Commented out response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream") and also tried other MIME types related to CSV/Excel.
4. Changed Content-Disposition from inline to attachment.
Each of the above resulted in an unacceptable behaviour compared with the earlier state:
1. Blank page shown as if nothing was happening even in case of deliberate incorrect JSP syntax.
2. Dialog box did show up with some combinations. But on trying to "Open" or "Save As", the dialog box shows up a second time. Then while trying to "Open", the contents get opened either inline or in MS Excel but with some additional garbage data like source file name.jsp etc. While trying to "Save As" the file name and extension take on the pattern <URL_Pattern>.htm where URL_Pattern would be "DOWNLOAD_ACTION.do".
Some other information:
1. This code works when accessed from desktop local container (Win 2000) but not when deployed on Unix env (HP-UX B.11.11.0109).
2. Latest patchsets are installed for IE.
3. The existing application is designed to work for ONLY IE 5.5 SP2 or above, so I haven't tried with other browsers. I have tried both IE 5.5 SP2 and 6.0 SP1.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time..

I have made it to work with the below changes:
1. Changed the URL pattern for <filter-mapping> for *.jsp to /*.jsp
2. Added <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> and <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
3. Everything else (code-wise) is as before.
Because of these changes, the filter, wherein some headers are being added to the response, is being invoked appropriately now.
Thanks for you time and suggestion though...

Have file save dialog configure csv file type

I am saving a program recipe file in csv format.
I can save and retrieve the file without problems.
What I would like to do is have the save file dialog box show a file type of *.csv instead of the default all file types *.* and then depend on the user to enter file.csv
Does anyone know a way to do this programitically?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Clark,
the FileDialog has some "pattern label" inputs. Have you used them or read the context help for that function?

Save as file format CSV in Excel

Does anyone know the correct syntax on this one?
I have an excel file which should be saved as CSV.
This is what I came up with, but it doesn't run.
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
activate worksheet "worksheet1"
set fileSaveName to get save as file format CSV file format filename
save as filename fileSaveName
if fileSaveName is not "" then
display dialog "Save as " & fileSaveName
end if
end tell

It's not surprising it doesn't run but that's not entirely your fault. Excel has pone of the funkiest dictionaries around - I think they forgot to read the AppleScript Implementor's guide and instead tried to bolt VB on instead.
Anyway, I digress...
I'm not sure what you expect this line to do:
set fileSaveName to get save as file format CSV file format filename
but it's completely invalid. For one, save as is a command verb, not a function, so you cannot get save as.
If you read the dictionary for Excel's save as command you'll find:
save as sheet ¬
filename unicode text ¬
file format as ¬
password unicode text ¬
write reservation password unicode text ¬
read only recommended boolean ¬
create backup boolean ¬
add to most recently used list boolean ¬
overwrite boolean ¬
save as local language boolean
so the first, required, parameter is the sheet to save followed by any number of the optional parameters. Given the above, I'd expect your script to look more like:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
save as worksheet "worksheet1" file format CSV file format filename "whatever.csv"
end tell
which is completely bass-ackwards, if you ask me, but that's how it goes.

Hi Adrian,
Why don't you try any another software for opening CSV files then Notepad ? According to my experience, you can use these softwares to open an CSV files and they are:-
Microsoft Excel
Open Office Calc
Google Docs
Also there is an additional tool available known as CSV viewer. You may try this, download it from here http://www.csvviewer.com/
I've never used Notepad for opening CSV files, because sometimes it contains some symbols which are not not at all compatibile with Notepad.
