Hello, How do I tell sql+ to spool output file from windows to Unix server?

Hello, How do I tell sql+ to spool output file from windows to Unix server?
I am new to SQL+ and just learned how to spool the file. But file is saved in my local windows enviroment and since it's 2GB in size...I want to spool it directly to another remote unix server.
Pls answer in detail... I have been to most of the thread and didn't see relevant answer to above question.
Am I suppose to develope some script which FTP the spool file directly to the server I want to
or
i Have to use UTL_FILE Package ?
Thanks for reply

You may not be able to...
SQL*Plus can only spool to the local machine. If you have mapped a directory on the Unix server from your Windows machine, you can specify that directory in your SPOOL command.
You could telnet to the Unix server, run SQL*Plus there, and spool the file to a local (Unix) directory.
If the Unix server is also the Oracle database server, you could use the UTL_FILE package rather than using SQL*Plus to spool a file.
If the Unix server is also an FTP server, you could also FTP the file from your local machine to the server.
Of course, I would tend to re-examine a requirement to regularly generate a 2 GB text file. It seems likely that there is a better way...

Spool output to PDF

We are currently scheduling some standard reports in jobs. We would like to convert the spool output to PDF. Is there a way to parameterize the network location such that I can use the same PDF print driver to print to different locations specified in the print specifications in the job ? Is there such a PDF print driver for Windows which would allow me to pass the print location instead of a pop-up ?
Thanks

Convert SAP spool output to PDF

I have created program running in background to convert SAP spool output to PDF using function CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF .
It has been working fine untill I have SAP spool contained > 99 pages. It has a dialog pop up asking to run it in background.
If I clicked YES, the function generated another background job and another spool.
Also the returned table PDF contained no data.
But it is ok when click NO. The program can generate PDF file.
My problem is I want to set this program as job, so it will not generate PDF file when SAP spool contained > 99 pages.
Has anyone experienced about this problem? or know how to convert to PDF from SAP spool (>99 pages)?
Thank you in Advance.

SQLPlus output within bash script

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure if this should go here or in the SQL forum or the Linux forum, but here goes:
Using Oracle10g on Linux, I'm using a bash script to run an sql script, but when I try to echo the results, it shows the output in a single line.
Here's the script
USERLIST=`sqlplus -s / AS SYSDBA <<EOF
   set head off
   set verify off
   set feedback off
   SELECT username from dba_users;
   exit;
EOF
`
echo $USERLIST;And here's the output:
oracle@apps scripts]$ ./userl.sh
PAYROLL HR2 CORE DEMO TIMEKEEPING SYS EXPENSE Is there anyway so that the output can be shown with line breaks, where all the output is not on one line? I understand I can spool to a file using the spool command, however I'd like to try and get it working this way first.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Not generating a spool output in the background job

Hi Team,
I have an alv report and If I schedule the program using SM36 transaction it is not generating the spool ouput.
If I run the same program in background mode when we use se38 and select execute in background in program menu and it works successfully and generates alv grid list in the spool output.
But, user wants to schedule the job in sm36 and check the same output in spool. Please advise why it is not generating.
Note:I am using the cl_salv_table=>factory method to generate the output.
Thanks in advance,
Sunil Kumar.

This is not really an ABAP question and you might want to ask your Basis admin for assistance. But I believe that spool will not be generated if you don't specify print parameters for a step. When you define the step in SM36, make sure to specify the print parameters.

ALV list display in a Background job - Spool output

Hi,
We are currently working on a report scheduled to be run in the background job, and the ALV list is displayed in the spool output.
ALV list in the spool does not look the same as front run job, the column headers are all crowded together, and there is no grid in-between different columns or rows. It's hard to read.
Is there a way to add grid for this kind of output?
Thanks!

Changing the file format of spool output when scheduling a background job.

Hello Experts,
I have an issue. It is related to Spool output format. I created a job for one report program for which the output is a list output. I have added one recipient in the 'Spool list recipient' while creating the job SM36. After the job is finished the spool output is sent to the recipient mail id as .htm format as an attachment. But the attachment should be excel sheet or text file. No coding in the program should be used to convert the file format. Only settings in the spool while creating job should be manipulated. Please help me in solving this issue.
Regards.

Hi Sunil,
You can use the logic for converting spool to PDF using program : RSTXPDFT4 . Alternatively you can use FM: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF . In this FM you need to pass the Spool id .
u can make use of these FM's SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
Check out the following wiki:

hope this will use full to you.
Thanks!!

Page breaks appear in the spool output of report when run in the background

Hi All,
Report is using fm 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display the report. parameters passed to this fm for display are :it_fieldcat,is_layout,it_events,t_outtab.
Page breaks appear in the spool output when report is run in the background.These page breaks needs to be removed. When executed in the background, the excel extract should be the same as if pulling directly from the report itself.
How to remove the page breaks in background?
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek Singh

Hi
You can use the below code , which the reprt run in background. If you run the report in background thenyou need to use 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
RECEIVING e_offline = off.
IF off IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
ENDIF.

Spool output not appearing on one page

Hello Experts,
When program runs in foreground, I am getting correct output i.e. ALV blocks are displayed on one page only.
But when running same program in background, I got output in spool and when looked at spool output that time I realized that the ALV blocks are getting printed on new page.
So instead of displaying 4 pages it is displaying 8 pages in spool.
I ran the same report on quality in FOreground as well as background and output appears to be correct.
But not sure why it is giving distorted (printed on new pages) in SPOOL output.
Appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Saurabh

HI Saurabh,
Check the Layout which you are passing which scheduling the job. It seems to be a different layout as compared to other system & hence the issue.
Thanks,
Best regards,

Spool output in Excel sheet format

Hi,
We have background job , which creates a spool output in Internet Explorer format. Customer needs this in Excel format.
Wondering, if any authorizations to be changed for file type? or this is a set in program level?
Thanks,
Sam

Yes....Currently the customer email address is added to "Spool list Recipient" in SM37. This way, spool output is sent to customer through email. Currently it is in HTML format.
Thanks,
