Saving RMAN output to os file..

Dear Rman Gurus!
I'd like to save an RMAN output to os file.. for example this would be terrific:
RMAN> list backup; > /home/oralce/os_user/list.txt ???
is this possible? how do you have this solved in your env? I cannot find the right solution..
I am using version 8 and 9.. so spool log is not quite good as it doesn't work with v. 9..
Many thanks for your suggestions!

RMAN v. 8Are you talking about 8i or 8.0?
The LOG option is available in 8i, but I don't believe the SPOOL LOG option is available. I have no idea about 8.0.

Saving report output to a file on the server.

Hi,
We are using BI Publisher Standalone version 10.1.3.3.1.
Is it possible to schedule a report to output to a file on the server?
I want the whole report to be saved as a file on the server.
This is somewhat similar to bursting to a file system, but, I don't want to split the output.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nanda

Yes, use the scheduler and schedule the report,
do the bursting into FTP or
schedule the report to run and run it into FTP as a single FILE.
First option, you need to provide the query , with FTP server name, username, password etcccc.

Direct RMAN output to UNIX file

How i could direct RMAN output to a file

How, indeed? Hmm.....
Wouldn't it be great if Oracle compiled information about their various software products and published it? Even better, what if they published it online, and made it available for free??
Wouldn't that be great?
Oh, wait, what's this?

Saving an output in a file

Hi all, i am having problems with an assignment that i have. I have to prompt the user for a dna sequence and a description of that sequence and then save it to a file., but when i go to look at the file that i created, it give me the memory address of that sequence and then the description always returns null like i never set it.

I guess we are discussing this line:
p.println("The saved DNA sequence is: " + b +"/n"+ "The Description is: "+ desc);b is a String[] and arrays don't have overridden toString(). You can use Arrays.asList(b) to get a better String representation or make your own method that lists array to String.
As far as the null desctiption is concerned - is is possible that there is no more input and readLine returns null?

AppleScript: Saving text output to a file

Hi all,
I am trying to save some output to a text file from AppleScript. Based on some postings I've found, I've been trying variations on this where theSubjects has some formatted text in it.:
     tell application "TextEdit"
          activate
          make new document
          set text of document 1 to theSubjects
          save document 1 in file (("/Users/karl/Desktop/") & "ListSubjects.rtf")
     end tell
The text makes it into TextEdit as I intended, but when the script tries to save the file, I'm getting "The document "Untitled" could not be saved as "/Users/karl/Desktop/ListSubjects.rtf". You don't have permission."
This error is consistent across all output directories that I have tried. I cannot find any sign that there are actual permissions issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Yes, use the scheduler and schedule the report,
do the bursting into FTP or
schedule the report to run and run it into FTP as a single FILE.

Saving List Output to a file

Hi all,
I have developed one classical report in that user is saving the report output to a text file from menu list->Save/Send>File> Unconverted
there every time user has to enter path and file name and he replace the existing file by replace option.
Is there any way to pass this info. (path,file name) dynamically?
I want that when user finish with parameter form then automatically the out put is stored in the file with predifine name.
Thanks in advance.

Problem while saving list output as local file.

Hi Gurus!
i want to save the list output of classical report into excel but complete data is not coming into excel file.
[SYSTEM - > LIST ->SAVE -> LOCAL ->SPREADSHEET ]
when same output is transfer to unconverted file [notepad ] then completed data is coming.
please help me ,
points sure!

Yes Rahul, I know that and you have to do the formating. This is how you can do.
Open the unconverted file in Excel format.
Select the first column and then goto Data - Text to Columns , a pop up will come.
Select Delimited, then press next.
Then selct the delimeter that is used in the unconverted file to seperate two columns. Say for example if ' | ' is used then in others write ' | ' and press next.
IN the data preview section select all the columns and then select text radio button on top and press finish finally.
Now u will get the proper format of the file. Delete all the empty rows and columns that u don't want.
Reward if you find it useful.
Regards.

Saving JSP output to a file

I need to be able to save what a user sees on his browser, to a local file (where the web app runs).
The content is dynamic. It is being created using a JSP.
One way to write it to a local file would be to move the content creation from a JSP to a servlet and write to the HTTP response as well as to a file in the servlet.
That's going to make it look messy.
Any thoughts on how I could make this happen while continuing to use a JSP?

OK, so now I've tried it, it's essentially what is described in the J2EE tutorial:
/* File 1 */
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
* passes on a subclass of HttpServletResponseWrapper
* in order to replace the output writer.
public class OutReplacementFilter implements Filter {
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException { }
public void destroy() { }
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
              throws IOException, ServletException {
    //wrap the original response
    HttpServletResponse newResponse = new ReplacementHttpServletResponse((HttpServletResponse) response);
    //pass it to the resource
    chain.doFilter(request, newResponse);
    //get what the resource wrote
    String output = newResponse.toString();
    //put it to the output stream
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.write(output);
    out.close();
    //and then put it where ever else you like
    System.out.println(output);
/* File 2 */
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
* returns specialized writer to capture jsp output
public class ReplacementHttpServletResponse extends HttpServletResponseWrapper {
private CharArrayWriter replacementWriter;
public ReplacementHttpServletResponse (HttpServletResponse response) {
    super(response);
    replacementWriter = new CharArrayWriter();
public PrintWriter getWriter() throws IOException {
    return new PrintWriter(replacementWriter);
public String toString() {
    return replacementWriter.toString();
}This way is easy and few keystrokes, but buffers all the output until the filter chain returns.

Saving ALV Grid to Local File issue - Missing half of the report

Hi Experts, Good Day.
I have developed an ALV Grid report using class CL_SALV_TABLE which displays 200 Columns and 100+ rows/records. It is displaying well, but when I am saving the output into local file (any type) there only 98 columns are downloading and remaining all the columns are missing.
I would like to know whether there is any restriction for number of columns or what might the problem for it. How can I download all the columns into local file.
Thanks in Adv.
Vijay

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Even though there are multiple ways to send data to local file I believe all three are same. And even I am facing same issue all the ways. Only 98 Columns data is getting downloaded into Files (it might be .txt, .xls, etc.).
After downloading first 98 Columns, I am hiding the downloaded columns and again I am downloading remaining columns. Then I am merging in the Excel file. This is very complicated for the End-User. So, please help me out.
I have used only following methods for displaying ALV.
For initial object/instance:
CL_SALV_TABLE=>FACTORY,
For ALV functions:
CL_SAVL_TABLE->GET_FUNCTIONS,
CL_SALV_FUNCTIONS_LIST->SET_ALL,
For Column heading and Optimized width:
CL_SALV_TABLE->GET_COLUMNS,
CL_SALV_COLUMNS_TABLE->SET_OPTIMIZE,
CL_SALV_COLUMNS_TABLE->GET_COLUMN,
CL_SALV_COLUMN->SET_SHORT_TEXT,
To display grid:
CL_SALV_TABLE->DISPALY.
- Thanks

Saving the output of a .sql file in .csv format

Hi,
I am saving the output of a .sql file in .csv format. But the problem is , the record of few columns have "new line" character in it, so when it is getting saved in .csv format, those records are coming in multiple rows, but they should come in one single row in single block. Please advise how to overcome this problem.
Regards,
Niraj

Hi Guys,
I guess, there is a misunderstanding.
He is talking about the issue caused as a result of the data containing a "CRLF" ( Carriage return Line feed ) .
That is mainly a data issue.
The query i presume, must be right.
I guess you should be able to fix it using some string functions.
Some thing similar to this
CREATE TABLE ASH (NAME VARCHAR2(10))
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(13)||CHR(10), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(10), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
SELECT REPLACE(NAME, CHR(13), 'ISH') FROM ASH;
depending on the type of new line whether it is CR or LF. or CRLF.

How to resend the RMAN output to a text file

Hi ,
I am using RMAN for backup purpose.
How should we send the output of RMAN to a text file.
For Example If we issue the following command then how should we send the results of that command into a text file:
RMAN> report obsolete device
type 'sbt_tape';
result:
RMAN-03022: compiling command: report
RMAN-06147: no obsolete backups found
Any ideas will be great for me.

Saving JSP report output as a file on the application server

I am trying to determine if it is possible to save a web based JSP report to the file system in the same way you can with a report generated via the rwservlet command. I am specifying DESTYPE=HTML and DESNAME=/home/mydirectory/abc.htm on the command line, but it seems to be ignored. The directory has 777 permissions on it.
1. Is it possible to save the JSP output onto the file system just like paper based reports?
2. Where, if any, is documentation addressing this issue? The reports deployment guide appendix lists all the URL parameters that are available to the various rw commands, but nowhere is discussed what params are relavent to JSP reports.
3. If it is not possible to do this via the URL, does anyone know if I can somehow fetch out the inner HTML from the generated page at the bottom pf the JSP and then write it to the file system using JAVA? I know how to do it via JavaScript, but the reports are run on UNIX. Is there someway I can access the DOM inside the JSP?
4. Why hasn't Oracle explained this better?
Thanks,
matt

Thanks for getting back to me. But the documentation link below takes me to running rwservlet requests. This was not what I needed. The good news is my most excellent DBA, Manoj Gandhi, found an old TAR in Metalink that emphatically states that what I am trying to do is not possible. See Note:272401.1
Well, sort of not possible...
As it turns out it is possible, but you must schedule the report for immediate execution using the rwservlet's scheduling facility. Again, this came to me via my DBA. The TAR for this piece is Note:295420.1. Ignore the rwservlet urlparameter= part as best I can tell it's gibberish. Below is what I did. Substitute your info for the stuff in UPPER CASE and put it all on one contiguous line of course:
http://SERVER:PORT/PATH/rwservlet
?server=REPORT_SERVER_NAME
&destype=file
&desname=A_PATH_AND_FILE_FILE_NAME_WITH_EXTENSION
&jobtype=rwurl
&schedule=
&urlparameter=http://SERVER:PORT/PATH/JSP_NAME?userid=USERID&OTHER_PARAMETERS...
I am not sure why cmdkey= fails when passed in the urlparameter= but I am working on a solution!

Anyone know how to output an XML file from ABAP to a non sapgui location?

I have a program that creates XML and then outputs a file via CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download. But now I want to execute the program in background mode and therefore I need to be able to output that XML to a NON sapgui file location. Current code creates the XML to an internal table which is binary then the gui_download method converts that to output XML. . Does anyone know how I can change the code to either a) output the XML to an internal table which can be output via, say, a TRANSFER command..or, b) output the created binary table of XML to a NON sapgui file location?
Excerpts from current code are as follows:
first the XML is created (to the binary file)
      Creating a ixml factory
l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
      Creating the dom object model
l_document = l_ixml->create_document( ).
      Fill root node with value XML
l_element_xml = l_document->create_simple_element(
              name = 'XML'
              parent = l_document ).
      Create tag 'HEADER' as child of 'XML'
l_element_header = l_document->create_simple_element(
              name = 'HEADER'
              parent = l_element_xml ).
header information about the file and general data about the fleet follows
l_value = c_fleet_import.
l_element_dummy = l_document->create_simple_element(
            name = 'TYPE'
            value = l_value
            parent = l_element_header ).
etc.......
then the xml is connected to the stream factory and rendered
Creating a stream factory
l_streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
Connect internal XML table to stream factory
l_ostream = l_streamfactory->create_ostream_itable( table = l_xml_table ).
Rendering the document
l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = l_ostream
                                        document = l_document ).
l_rc = l_renderer->render( ).
Saving the XML document
l_xml_size = l_ostream->get_num_written_raw( ).
and then output to the file
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
       EXPORTING
         bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = 'g:\sapdms\BSCC-DEV\EFPAC XML Files\ALL.xml'
       filename     = '/TRICK/727/OUT/ZEFP/EFPAC.XML' "doesnt work with sap gui
         filetype     = 'BIN'
       CHANGING
         data_tab     = l_xml_table
       EXCEPTIONS
         OTHERS       = 24.
as implied by the comments the method above will successfully output the XML file to the g:drive but will not output to /TRICK/ location, which is where I need it to go in a background mode run.
This is a problem which has defeated all our local expertise and I would appreciate any help given... Barry Jones

Try this code below:

      loop at l_xml_table2.
        transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
      endloop.
    endif.
    close dataset w_filename.

Saving report output in default path

Hi,
We are using the 6i reports server. We want to save the report output as a file in a default path. We are making the report requests through URL call from within a PL/SQL block. When we give just the filename(this will dynamically be generated for each request) in the DESNAME parameter, it is saving directly into the path where we started the reports server. We don't want to hardcode the required path in the PL/SQL block.
Can't we set the default path for saving the report output during the configuration of the reports server?
Is there any alternative to achieve this, like storing the path(without filename) in any configuration file similar to <servername>.conf in 9i reports server?
Regards,
Milton.

Hi Milton
Try these suggestion and see if they work...
Add ORACLE_HOME/bin in your system PATH and run Reports Server from the folder where you want your output file to be generated.
You could also be storing the "default" path in a config file and use IO packages to read it.
Create a user parameter of character type and do the following in any of the Reports trigger:
:desname := :p_1 || :desname;
You may pass the "default" path on the URL.
