Storing an Excel File in the Oracle Table through Oracle Form (10g)

Hi,
We have the below requirement in the Oracle Forms (10g).
Database: 11g
Application: R12
We need to provide an upload functionality to the user, so that he can upload an excel file into the form (from the local system), this is achived.
Now what we need to do is that we need to capture the path of the document (in the local system) and we need to store the document in a Oracle table.
Next we need to validate the records that are being loaded and the error records should be written into one more file and that file also we need to store in an Oracle table, this is because, i need to query this error file from the table later and need to send to the user as an e-mail.
Basically i started off with the below code just for the POC. but iam facing the error. Please help. I did not put this code in my form.
Create Table Email_Attachments(Id_Pk Integer Primary Key,Fname Varchar2(50),Image Blob);
Create Or Replace Directory Temp As 'C:\';
Create Or Replace Procedure Load_File(Pi_Id In Integer, Pfname In Varchar2) Is
Src_File Bfile;
Dst_File Blob;
Lgh_File Binary_Integer;
Begin
Src_File := Bfilename('TEMP', Pfname);
Insert Into Email_Attachments (Id_Pk,Fname,Image)
Values (Pi_Id,Pfname, Empty_Blob())
Returning Image Into Dst_File;
Dbms_Lob.Open(Src_File, Dbms_Lob.File_Readonly);
Lgh_File := Dbms_Lob.Getlength(Src_File);
Dbms_Lob.Loadfromfile(Dst_File, Src_File, Lgh_File);
Dbms_Lob.Close(Src_File);
Commit;
End;
begin
Load_File(1,'test.txt');
end;
ERROR
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
No Such file or directory
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 1014
ORA-06512: at "SYS.LOAD_FILE", line 10
ORA-06512: at line 2
How to capture the Path from which he has loaded the file?
How to Write the error records it to the file and store it in an Oracle table?
Will the below table be of use to me?
fnd_lobs_document
fnd_lobs
fnd_documents
Please share your ideas as to how to acheive this.
Thanks and Regards

When you want to process the file, them it depends on the format. "Excel file" is a term that is used for a variety of file formats, mostly simple CSV, binary (true) XLS and XLSX.
So to get help you have to give us more information. Since the file is already in the db you might get better answers at {forum:id=75}. The forum has a FAQ that has a whole section {message:id=9360007}.

Unable to edit Excel file via WebDAV in IE

LS,
Aim
To be able to open an Excel file in Oracle Portal via IE for editing (ergo, if changed it needs to be saved in the same location where it resides = database)
What have we done so far
OraDAV has been implemented (basic manner), a pagegroup has been created in Oracle Portal for security, next we stored some Excel files for test purposes.
Opening and editing using Windows Explorer (when testing) works fine, but opening from browser (Internet Explorer) opens Excel-file in read-only mode!
Workaround
Create windows shortcuts to Excel files in the OraDAV Webfolder, shortcuts are then placed in a public Windows-share which is running on a workstation.
Accessing these shortcuts from both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer works fine then.
But...
Unfortunately, implementing a windows share on a server is considered to be not an option by the network security team, and it's also not an option to continue using a workstation for that purpose.
What does Metalink say (we created TAR for this)
CLARIFICATION
====================
This issue happens on WEBDAV.
Using=>Windows Explorer it works fine.
Using=>Internet Explorer it does not do as the customer aspected.
Webdav:
Using=>Windows Explorer
going to folder
http://<machine>:7778/dav_portal/.../QA1.XLS
double clicked QA1.XLS and this opens in Microsoft Excel.
After made modifications the file is saved correctly without any issue.
Using=>Internet Explorer
Calling the
URL:http://<machine>:7778/.../QA1.XLS
the file QA1.XLS opens within Internet Explorer the Microsoft Excel plugin.
Problem is it the file opened in read-only mode and when you click save it wants to save
in local drive.
ISSUE VERIFICATION
===================
Verified the issue by the OWC session.
RESEARCH
=========
TESTCASE
I have tested the same issue on 9.0.2.3 and 10.1.2 portal versions.
They are all behaving the same.
CAUSE DETERMINATION
====================
This is intended behaviour.
CAUSE JUSTIFICATION
====================
Details => http://www.webdav.org
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/PUBLISH_CONTMGMT/TECHNOTE_WEBDAV.HTML
What does Portal documentation say
Source: Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2 âTechnical Overview
An Oracle White Paper; April 2002; Page 17
=======================================================
Integrating with the desktop
File-type item content can also be published to the portal repository via the Webbased Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. Using a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer, a portal page group can be mapped as a Web Folder. Users can then simply drag and drop content, files, and folders between portal pages and the desktop. File-type items can also be opened, edited, and saved directly from WebDAV desktop applications like MS Office 2000.
Thus...
Even though Metalink is implying it is not possible, one would think it IS possible, since IE is also a valid WebDAV client.
Bottom line
Does anyone know how to set up Portal in combination with WebDAV to ensure editing of Excel files will happen via Internet Explorer AND changes will be saved back onto the original location
Thanks, Patrick

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?
regards,
christian

Garbage characters in excel file opened by jsp

          I am storing an excel file as blob in database. While retrieving
          from database when I open in the jsp page , it shows a lot of garbage characters
          and all formatting is lost. I am using content type "application/vnd.ms-excel".
          I am also setting correct mime type in web.xml as application/excel. It is weblogic
          6.1 sp2 with oracle 8.1.6. the pdf and word docs are working well. Please help
          soon.
          Thanks


Download the Open G Toolkit from www.openg.org. There is a VI called Quit Application.vi that works great. I have used it with the very stupid Brooks 0154 SmartDDE Controller program to reset the application.
Be sure to save the document and close the DDE communication first.

Best ways to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

What are best ways to display/view PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? thanks L

Thanks tom, sorry let me explain. Currently we have oracle forms screen, using webutil to store/view files into DB. client won't like the interface, they want us to make it more friendly, drag and drop if possible, load multiple files, as possible.. So I am exploring different ways to improve may be java (or jdev/any any other), different screen designs, different features for fileupload/download/view options.

Oracle reports to display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

can we use Oracle reports to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? Thanks Lalitha

A document stored in the database can be easily retrieved in or via the browser using mod_plsql. Simplified:
select content, mime_type
into v_blob, v_mime_type
from ...
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(v_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(v_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);So, the link in your report should point to this database procedure.

Manupulating Excel File Stored In Database

Is there any way I can manipulate the excel file that is stored in the database as LONG RAW ?
I need to allow user to manupulate the excel file that is stored in database and accordingly fetch the specific data from that manipulated Excel File of Database.

Your best bet is to keep the data in tables and generate a new excel file each time. Search this forum on how to generate excel files.. Here are three techniques... I like the XML method..
1) OLE2
2) XML
3) CSV
I have also done this using webutil..
1) retrieve excel blob from db to client using webutil function db_to_client_with_progress()
2) manipulate excel file on client using CLIENT_OLE2
3) put excel file back in db using webutil function client_to_db_with_progress()
Sorry.. Just re-read your post and didnt notice the Long-raw part.. :)

Storing a xml excel file in a field of type string in a transparent table

Hello Experts,
I have a program to maintain. There is a transparent table which stores a XML excel file. I have used where used list option to find out if there is an existing program which used that table but couldnt find one.
In debugger mode, when I view the contents of the field, i can see list of characters, when i choose the option of viewing in xml browser, it opens me the excel file.
My requirement is to make a simple change to the excel file and store it back to the table in the same format it is.
Can someone explain to me, how to convert that xml excel file into string so that it is stored in a field of type string.
Thanks Nitish.

You can use the parser method provided in CL_XML_DOCUMENT class. Search for this particular class in the forums, you'll find many relevant post.

Access Word and Excel files stored on 8820 SD Card?

Need to be able to access many Word and Excel files stored on an 8820 SSD card - Media Center does not have a category for "business files" only pics and video etc. Is there a way to do that like Documents to Go on the Palm systems? Roxio's filters do not allow Word and Excel files either but Mass Storage accepts the OK. How to access on the SSD card?

On Android OS 4.1 - 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or older, Adobe Reader for Android version 11.2.x has a known defect in the "All PDFs" view. The All PDFs view does not show the files and folders on an external SD card. A workaround is to use the Folder View instead of the All PDFs view. We have fixed the defect and plan to include the fix in the next release of Reader for Android.
On Android OS 4.4 (KitKat) only, neither All PDFs view nor Folder View shows any files or folders on an external SD card. Reader cannot save any changes to the files on an external SD card, either. We are still working on fixing the problems. In the meantime, please copy the files from your external SD card to your device's internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Documents/...) using a File Manager/Browser app or use a cloud storage service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to store files.
Your case is the latter because your Samsung Galaxy S4 phone is running 4.4.2 (KitKat).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

How to download a csv/excel file stored in a server using OA Framwork

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we have to generate a CSV file using PL/SQL block and the user shoul download that csv file to his client machine whenever it requirs to him. We have generated csv file and save the same in a particular location in the server. As the CSV file size may be around 10 to 15 MB we feel the storing and retrieving of the csv file in a BLOB object is a performance hit. Now we want to dowload the file from the csv file path without storing the csv file into database BLOB object.
Is this possible using OA framwork? if so please guide me how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sathesh.

If u know following details you can use below method to download any file ( XLS/any) its generic method I have used in one of my project-
1. File Name with Extension
2. File path at which it has been placed
3. Page Context (you must know i assume)
public void DownloadFileFromServer(OAPageContext pgeContext, String file_name_with_path,
String file_name_with_ext)
System.out.println("Filename path "+file_name_with_path + "File Name:" + file_name_with_ext);
HttpServletResponse responseVar = (HttpServletResponse)pageContext.getRenderingContext().getServletResponse();
if (((file_name_with_path == null) || ("".equals(file_name_with_path))))
System.out.println("File path is invalid.");
File fileToDwnld = null;
try
fileToDwnld = new File(file_name_with_path);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Invalid File Path or file does not exist.");
if (!fileToDwnld.exists())
System.out.println("File does not exist.");
if (!fileToDwnld.canRead())
System.out.println("Not Able to read the file.");
String MADfileType = getMADMimeType(file_name_with_ext);
System.out.println("File Type - " + MADfileType);
responseVar.setContentType(MADfileType);
responseVar.setContentLength((int)fileToDwnld.length());
System.out.println("File Size is " + fileToDwnld.length());
responseVar.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file_name_with_ext + "\"");
InputStream inStr = null;
ServletOutputStream outStr = null;
try
outStr = responseVar.getOutputStream();
inStr = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileToDwnld));
int ch;
while ((ch = inStr.read()) != -1)
outStr.write(ch);
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
finally
try
outStr.flush();
outStr.close();
if (inStr != null)
inStr.close();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();

Refresh Data in an Excel Workbook from another Excel file

I have an Excel file that I need to use as a data source for a report that is generated from another Excel Workbook that I am using PowerPivot and PowerPivot with.
I make the connections and everything works fine, but the schedule to refresh doesn't work. I found the below, and another Excel file isn't listed as a data source that is can automatically refresh from. Doesn't that seem like an obvious miss?
Report data in an Excel workbook can come from many external data sources. You can schedule automatic data refreshes for these external sources:
•Power BI Cloud Service
*       Microsoft Azure SQL Database
*       SQL Server in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
*       OData
*       Basic authentication
*       Anonymous authentication
*       SP Lists
*       ProjectOnline feeds
•On-premises
*       SQL Server 2005 and above
*       Oracle 10g, 11g and 11gR2
A workbook accesses external data through an embedded connection string or URL you specify when you import the original data into the workbook. Data refresh reuses the original connection information stored in the workbook.
A workbook can have only one data refresh schedule. Typically, if you create the workbook you define the schedule.

Thanks,
Craig

It seems apart from mentioned sources no other source is supported, even I tried refreshing model having excel as source.

How to upload Excel file in BI using function module in abap program

How to upload Excel file in BI using function module in abap program?

Hi Anuj,
To upload the file , you can try a standard program "RSEPSFTP" .
while you execute the program , a selection screen appears in which the inputs should be give as
RFC destination - The target server name
FTP command- PUT
local file - your file name
local directory - path of your local file
remote file - your target file name
remote directory - where it has to be stored
Hope this is useful for you
Thanks & regards
