STAD BDC to save output file

Dear All,
I want to create a program with the BDC recording which saves output of STAD' TCode at my local system and want to schedule it in background so that i can get the daily log of transactions.
I tried to create BDC with system date input but it's not working.
Please let me know if there special settings for that.

Adobe media encoder cc will not save output file destination

Hello all,
Hopefully a simple issue here. I'm running windows 7 and just downloaded AME CC. I've tried over and over to save my output file destination in Preferences and have saved my media cache files to the same location and the saves will not take. I was able to get it to go to the drive and folder I specified ONLY when I clicked the "Match Sequence Settings" tab in the AME pop up window. My settings need to be different, so I leave the box unchecked. Anyone else having this issue? Can anyone help me out getting this simple function to work? I saw a short thread on Creative Cow dated February 2013 with the same concern from a user and I did not see a resolution at the end. I have not been able to find anything on this anywhere. Sure, I can continue to manually save each file I render in AME, but it's a big PITA. I finally was in between projects so I downloaded the CC upgrade and replaced my CS6 version and now I have this simple problem from an alleged upgrade? Help please.
Thank you.
Todd

Premiere sequences queued to AME from the Export Settings dialog won't honor AME's output path preference. Instead, they default to the last path used from Exp. Settings via Premiere. However, you should be able to get the result you want by queue-ing to AME's default path once from Premiere, which will make it Premiere's default as well.
Or, you could drag and drop your sequence from the Project panel directly into AME's queue; that will use AME's preference instead of Premiere's default path.

Adobe PDF printer - saves output file as filetype+filename need it to save only as filename

I am using windows xp pro, when i create the pdf file with adobe PDF printer it creates the file name "Ami Pro - filename.pdf" I really need it to create the file name as "filename.pdf". Can you please help me - thank you

Thank you Bernd - Explorer will let us change the file name one at a time, however I am creating numerous pdfs at a time, and its a pain to correct them one at a time, or to create a bat file to do this. Does anyone know if the Adobe PDF printer has a feature that will eliminate the file type? thanks

Name syntax of output file from FMLE 3.2 ?

Hi,
I'm using FMLE3.2 to live streaming and save output files (sample.f4v). My output files name is:
sample.20120424_100235.f4v
sample.20120424_100438.f4v
sample.20120424_100641.f4v
sample.20120424_100840.f4v
I think 20120424 is date, today is 04/24/2012. But I don't understand 100235, 100438, 100641, 100840... What is it?
How to distinguish between the files to play in the order ?

Hi,
the short text description for WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR is "Separate Columns by Tabs in Case of ASCII Download", so why do you expect a comma?
Try SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and then download.
And no, GUI_DOWNLOAD is only for download via SAP GUI to a users computer.

Read multiple files and save all into one output file(AGAIN)

Hi, guys
I need your help for reading data from multiple files and save the results into one output file. When files are selected from file chooser, my program read the data line by line , do some calculations and save the result into the output. I made an array to store input files and it seems to be working fine, but when it comes to SaveFile() function, issues NullPointException message.

Sorry about the long lines.
As you can see, all input files saved in array called files, however when OpenFile1() function is called, it take input (fileName_in) as a single file not an array. I'm assuming this causes the exception.
When there's muptiple inputs, program should take each file from getFileName() to outputToFile() sequentially.
Does anybody have an idea to solve this?
Thanks a lot!!

you naming convention is confussing. you should follows Java naming convention..you have a getXXX but decalred the return type as "void"...get usully means to return something...
your code is doing too much..and hard to follows..
1. get the selected files
for each selected file
process the file and return the result
write out the result.
/** close the precious resource */
public void closeResource(Reader in){
    if (in != null){
        try{ in.close(); }

public int getLineCount(File file) throws IOException{
    BufferedReader in = null;
    int lineCount = 0;
    try{
        in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
        while ((in.readLine() != null)
            lineCount++;
        return lineCount;
    finally{ closeResource (in); }
/** read the file */
public void processFile(File inFile, File outFile) throws IOException{
    BufferedReader in = null;
    StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
    try{
        in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inFile));
        String line = null;
        while ((in.readLine() != null){
            .. do something with the line
            result.append(....);
        writeToFile(outFile, result.toString());
    finally{ closeResource (in); }
public void writeToFile(File outFile, String result) throws IOException{
    PrintWriter out = null;
    try{
        out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(outFile, true)); // true for appending to the end of the file
        out.println(result);
    finally{ if (out != null){ try{ out.close(); } catch (Exception e){} } }

Save output of schd. rep. in phy. file on local m/c

Hi All,
I have following two questions:-

2. When we use Desktop and schedule the report the output file is saved on the local machine in the physical file - excel format. Can we do the same from Discoverer Plus?
Please reply ASAP.

"Unable to save markup: Cannot create output file" message with ISDK

Hi,
We have an integration of AutoVue with OpenText Livelink, and we're seeing that if users open a document, and then work on adding mark-ups for a long time (3 hours) without saving the mark-up when the user saves the markup they get an error message "Unable to save markup: Cannot create output file". If they then press the save button they get the out-of-the-box AutoVue 'Save Markup File As' dialog.
The ISDK DMS integration servlet and VueServlet servlet are both running under Tomcat with 740 minute session timeout set for the servlet.
When we look at the logs we're not seeing any attempts to save the mark-up, which is confusing.
It looks as though the link between the AutoVue applet and the DMS has been lost.
Is it possible to specify session time-outs in the AutoVue applet?
Is there a way of checking keep-alives are being sent (if they are ever sent)?
Help appreciated!
Thanks
Paul

AutoVue default timeout is 30 minutes and is being controlled by the option jvueserver.users.timeout (value set in seconds, default is 1800).
Adding to the jvueserver.properties the following line:
jvueserver.users.timeout=50400
would set AutoVue session timeout to 14 hours (longer than Tomcat session).
If the issue still persists, the AutoVue session timeout is probably not the cause...

Option to save output list to local file

What would cause the menu option:
SYSTEM - > LIST ->SAVE -> LOCAL FILE
to be greyed out or not available for a report? I know these use to be an option for all standard output lists, but now I see where this is not an option on some standard SAP reports.

Hi,
I am getting the same problem. In VT03N, when I goto System->List->Save->File, the option to save is greyed out.
Can you please explain how can this be enabled?
Thanks,

"Save Pdf File" window

Hi,
I have an Access 2000 aplication which works fine with Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro
-you select a product name
-a PDF file is generated from this product's "Report"
-and it's sent by mail
It is a VBA code which stores: folder name, file name, printer name into Windows Registry
I have migrated the file to Access 2007 and now there is a problem.
It opens a "Save Pdf file" window and asks me to select a folder and to enter a file name.
Seems that name and folder retrieve from the registry is not working.
What is it? What can I do to resolve the problem? Any idea?
Thanks,

I searched without success ...How to find it?
I have this:
' Put the output filename where Acrobat could find it
bSetRegValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER, _
                 "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl", _

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Trying to modify SaveDocsAsSVG to open and save all files within a directory automatically

I am trying to do as the title suggests, but I can't find a way to specify the folder I want the script to look at and I can't get it to open/save/close the files without user interaction. Another way to say it is that I need this to be itterative as the PC I'm using cannot handle too many open files at once.
On a side note, I can't even find the documentation. Example, what arguments does Folder.selectDialog() accept? Where is the documentation for that?
Thank peeps!

my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

How to Save a File in Oracle Forms 6 ?

Dear All,
I am using Oracle Forms 6. I need to save a file in .lst format.
I am using,
flnm:=get_file_name('E:\',file_filter=>'Text Files(*.lst|*.lst|');
I f I use this, It prompts me to save the file. I want to save it automatically without asking me to enter the file name. We can get file name too from the above syntax
flnm:=get_file_name('E:\','Test',file_filter=>'Text Files(*.lst|*.lst|');
But i dont want the system to prompt me to save manually. It must be saved in the proper location as mentioned.
Advance thanks for all.
Kindly help me to overcome this issue

Here's an example of a way to write out a file which writes out data from a particular block. The field names are hard coded so need to
be customized:
/* write out data as tab delimited file for import into
excel etc */
function write_file (myfile in varchar2) return varchar2 IS
out_file          text_io.file_type;
item_name varchar2(32);
errnum number := ERROR_CODE;
errtxt varchar2(80) := ERROR_TEXT;
myblock varchar2(32) := 'MY_BLOCK';
addrno integer := 0;
BEGIN
go_block(myblock);
go_record(1);
out_file := text_io.fopen(myfile,'w');
/* output field header for excel or word */
text_io.putf(out_file,'%s\n', 'notes' || chr(9) || 'subR' || chr(9)||'X' || 'someid' || chr(9) ||
    'title' ||chr(9)||
        'first_name'||chr(9)||'last_name'||chr(9)||
      'home_address'||chr(9)||'home_city'||chr(9)||'home_state'||chr(9)||'home_zip');
LOOP
      if (addrno > 0) then
             text_io.putf(out_file,'\n');
      end if;
      addrno := addrno + 1;
      text_io.putf(out_file,'%s',:MY_BLOCK.some_notes || chr(9));
      text_io.putf(out_file,'%s',:MY_BLOCK.sub_ripple || chr(9));
      text_io.putf(out_file,'%s','X' || :MY_BLOCK.someid || chr(9));
      text_io.putf(out_file,'%s',:MY_BLOCK.title || chr(9) || :MY_BLOCK.first_name
                      || chr(9) || :MY_BLOCK.last_name || chr(9));
      text_io.putf(out_file,'%s',:MY_BLOCK.home_address || chr(9));
      text_io.putf(out_file,'%s',:MY_BLOCK.home_city || chr(9) || :MY_BLOCK.home_state ||
         chr(9) || :MY_BLOCK.home_zip);
      IF :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD = 'TRUE' THEN
         EXIT;
     END IF;
     NEXT_RECORD;
END LOOP;
text_io.fclose (out_file);
return 'Y';
   exception
     when others then
         message ('ERROR write_file '|| myfile || ' ' || :system.cursor_block || ' '
         || :system.cursor_record || ' ' ||:system.cursor_field || ' '
          || errnum || ' ' || errtxt);
         bell;
         synchronize;
         return 'N';
END;

Output file from ABAP program

I am using the program Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD to output a hierarchy in BW to a specified drive. It works fine when I go to SE38 and run it. However, when I run it from a process chain, it doesn't output the file. How can I generate the output file by running the program from a Process Chain? Thanks.

Hello Uday,
i suppose if you run the program within a process chain it will be started
in a background process. All downloads via the SAPGUI onto your local
PC (or network drive) are not possible in the background because there is no
connection to your PC during the excecution of the report in the background.
Try to save the download on an accessible file system on the application server
and download it from there afterwards.
Which function module is used to download the data (GUI_DOWNLOAD or the older version WS_DOWNLOAD) in your report?
To save data on the application server use the ABAP statements
OPEN DATASET filename FOR OUTPUT    -> for creation of file
TRANSFER record TO filename                  -> for transfer of one record
CLOSE DATASET filename                        -> for closing the file
Regards,
Ralf Matthies

Avoiding the 'Save PDF File As' dialog when printing to the adobe PDF printer from a service

Hello, can someone please help.
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro installed.
I have an in house application which (among many other things) effectively monitors a directory and prints the file to the default printer. It works fine when run as an application.
I have set the defaults on the Adobe PDF printer to put the output PDF file into a directory and not to open it so it works silently without prompts.
When I run my application as a service, it brings up the 'Save PDF File As' dialog and I would like to avoid this. My impression is that if I put the right registry key in then it will work.
I do not want to do any scripting if I can avoid it.
Thanks for all constructive help given.

Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.
