SQL Portlets - Executing across db link from app server db to DataWarehouse

Hi
We are using Ora App Server 10.2.
Discoverer Portlets saved on app server db, execute their SQL direct to our DataWarehouse (Oracle 9r2) and this works fine.
However, when we use SQL portlets, the SQL has to be coded with db links from our app server db to our Datawarehouse. This is not ideal.
Does any know how you can use SQL Portlets without using db links?
Thanks
Colm

Try creating your portlets as java providers using jdbc instead of in PL/SQL.
Cheers,
Mick.

Problem in downloading file from app server using CG3Y in to .XLS fomat

hi All,
I have uploaded file in to application server through a program using open data set with the separater as "|" ( pipe ) . Now the user should be able to download the file from apps server to presenataion server in .XLS format using txn CG3Y. but when we download, the format appears wierd and the data is not consistent across columns in excel. i.e the data which is supposed to be in one column in the excel is in the other column. what precautaions should i take before moving data to apps server so that it will be downloaded in a good format.
Appreciate your help...

Sreekanth.

Separate each values with TAB space present in the application server .
Currently u r using | pipe character. Instead of that use CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB as delimiter.
Each value will displayed in separate cells in excel sheet when u download it frm app.server

Do you want to return the file to the user on click of button or something?
Then, use web_show_document with http link which you are speaking about.
Else download the file to client using Webutil.

All data is loaded green.
However, when I try to load the file after i copied it to my App Server, it cannot load.
The error is get is:
Error 2 while splitting CSV data: see long text
Message no. RSDS_ACCESS011
Diagnosis
Error 2 occurred while splitting the CSV data string.
1 = Could not find a closing escape character
2 = Invalid escape character
3 = Conversion error
4 = OTHERS
The thing is that it worked fine (exact same file no changes) when I loaded from my Desktop.
Appreciate any help or input.
Rgds,
Gary.

Gary,
You can load it from the App server. Just check the file name whther you are giving it correctly and also check the readio button from App Server.
Go to AL11 (Tcode) and cross check whther your file is there. See in which directory your file is there. Mention the same path in the extraction tab in IP.
Thanks...

Download PDF file from APP server!

Hi!
Has anyone tried uplaoding and downloding a PDF table from app server as I tried from a normal method by Open dataset, Transfer but it wont work.
Please provide any inputs.
Thanks.

Hi park,
1. Using open data set, transfer , close etc,
   also it will work.
   ( it will download / upload any kind of file from app server)
2. Just make sure the
   FULL PATHNAME and the FILENAME
   are mentioned in EXACT CASE
(small/CAPITAL).
3. U can check thru transaction AL11, to see the file and path.

amit m.

DB Audit from App Server

Hello guys,
I'd like to audit transactions, coming from App Server.
We have an application, that uses one database account, and all the connections to the database are coming from the App Server, obviously. That's why I cannot log the client IP, OS-User etc.
What would you recommend to me to meet my this requirement ?
11gR3, no DB Vault.
Thanks a lot,
Regards

Hi Vlad Visan,
Thank you for the reference, it gave an idea to me.
You mean, this should be set by during the development process on application ?
It's an enterprise application, I'll discuss on this, but not sure if they can optimize the codes fastly for this usage.
If you have any other solution or an idea, let me know please
Have a nice day

Problem with READ DATASET when reading file from app server

Hi,
wondering if anyone can help, I'm using the following code to read from a file on app server, the file is of type .rtf
OPEN DATASET file_rtf FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT
WITH SMART LINEFEED.
DO.
READ DATASET file_rtf INTO string.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
the open dataset part works sy-subrc = 0, but the read returns sy-subrc = 8 and no data is passed to string.
Any ideas as to what is causing this problem appreciated, <removed>
Thanks

Webutil download file from app server

i am calling a report from forms. report uses text_io to write delimited data to app server disk. report info also displays in browser using web.show_document. when i call report from forms i run report, use web.show_document to display in browser and then call webutil to download file to client form appserver. sequence would be in a manner as below:
run_report_object (report_id);
when report = finished then
web.show_document;
end if;
webutil.download_file (filename);
the problem is this: the web.show_document code runs but while this is running the webutil code also is running. but the report has not completed yet so when webutil runs looking for the file the report is supposed to write it cannot find it since the report has not completed. web.show_document fires off a browser session and then immediately runs the webutil code. but i dont want the webutil code to run until the report has successfully completed. does anyone know how to integrate these two functions into one step instead of running the report and allowing it to complete and then executing a separate step to download the file.
thank you

You might want to try this code snippet....
--- code to set parameters, declare variables etc...
l_report_return := run_report_object(l_report_id);
l_report_status := report_object_status(l_report_return);
WHILE l_report_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
     l_report_status := report_object_status(l_report_return);
END LOOP;
IF l_report_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
     /*Display report in the browser*/
     web.show_document(......);
ELSE
     message('Error when running report ');
END IF;

Downloading a file from App Server to User's Desktop

Hi All,
I know that there are many threads on file upload and download :-)
I have tried to browse through most of them and could not find my solution.
The requirement is to place a file in the unix app server directory and allow the user to download it using a link, to the user's desktop. In case you think that this has already been answered in an old thread, kindly give me the pointer. Any sample code for doing this, would be great.
I know how to upload a file from desktop to table/app server. I know how to download a file from a BLOB column in database.
Thanks,
Amit

You would not be able to use file upload or download beans, as they interact with the database and not the filesystem.
You would need to write a simple file reader routing in plain java.

How can i access properties from APP server through JNLP with ot using JAR

Hello
i want to retrive a Properties file from WL-7 app installed location like :bea/home/externalized.properties
now i want to use this properties file throgh out the application. if any property is changed in "externalized.properties" that could be reflect dynamically in my code.
So my requirement is :
The current implementaion is using the JNLP down load the required code which contains the properties in .jar files, i have around 500 properties which are embedded in differnet .jar files with differnt property name. So i want to make all 500 properties to get out side from the jar files. and keep that consolidated properties in a single location and access it dynamically after deployed my ear file in wl7 app server.
my application is implemented in SWING and EJB now i want to create an ear file which can be deployed any instance or cluster of WL7 app server.
My Q:
1. How can i access properties file through JNLP? (not a single property, want to access all properties in externalized.properties)
2. is thare any known issue with SUN to load properties file through JNLP?
your help is highly appreciated.
-Siva

Hey Thanks for your response,
My question is Still not answered,
see infact i have different type of environments to launch my application.
infact my weblogic is deployed at remote location whihch is installed in linux,
code is exist in our local system.
At the time of code build for my local system i'm not able to get the properties from remote WL server,
so at the time of code compilation and making the EAR file i'm not having this externalized properties file in newly generated EAR file.
so once i copied my EAR in to WL7 cluster and i'm running the application using startAdminserver.sh, in this script file i'm defining the
java -DexternalizedProperty=$WL_HOME/externalizedProperty.properties so now i'm able to get this properties to 'externalizedProperty"
But when i download my application required jars, at this time i does not having the property file in my downloaded JAR files.
So i want to access the remote properties file in suh sistuation.
now i'm runnig the application at my local side to launch and Server side as well.
So i have 2 runtimes 1 is my local and another is my server. In this case using "-DexternalizedProperty" i'm able to get this in server side,
once control is come to local system it is not able to find this "-DexternalizedProperty" [externalizedProperty].
Hope now u get my scenario..
Thanks,

Links to App Server Documentation Broken

None of the app server documentation links work. Did you move the links or is there a problem with the server?
Appreciate if you would address this quickly.
