String To File simulation, viewing data from a string?

Hi,
I am working on an imaging system. I get returned a string with data which can be in a number of different formats - .jpg, .PDF, .doc etc... I also get back mime data type, if I want to use it.
My initial idea was to call the function:
CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'
     EXPORTING
          URL                    = P_URL
          BROWSER_TYPE           = BROWSER_TYPE
          WINDOW_NAME            = LV_WINDOW_NAME
which can handle all the types and displays them correctly. The problem I have , is I do not want to store the string with the data into a file, to pass to the URL Parameter going into this function. It there a way I can make it think it's file in memory, or is there a better way of doing the whole thing?
Many Thanks
Regards Sims

Unforturnatly, I think that you have to write the data to a file in order for the browser to be able to open it up. This function module is just invoking internet explorer for a certain url. If that url does not exist, IE will not be able to open it.
Could you just delete the file after you have created and display it?

Error while viewing data from data store

Hello Gurus,
We are facing issue with driver when we try to view data from a data store related to Hyperion Essbase technology.
ODI version is 11.1.1.6.
Following is the error that we are getting:

You cannot view the data from an essbase data store as it isn't configured with a jdbc driver that supports this function

How to make the active save-to-file with the data from GPIB ?

Hello,,everybody !!
I want to make the active save-to-file with the data from GPIB since starting the measurement. To save-to-file at the end of measurment is somehow risky for losing the data because my measurment have to take for long time (eg. 24-48 hours).
Thank you in advance for anybody's help !!

Thanks Dennis,
I have already append, I got it but still have one small problem that between each line it has the blank line. Example as below ,
16:40:33 54.24
16:40:34 54.23
16:40:35 54.24
I want to get rid of the blank line in between.. Do you have the idea about it ?

How can i Pick the data from the string

Hi Gurus
How can i Pick the data from the string using regular expressions. for ex:
1) 10000-san0001
2) 3000000-rani0001
3) 30-super003
its doesnt mainain how many characters.
like this i got string. now i only want after the symobl( -) text (san

How do I view data from OLAP DML program or statement?

Hi
I'm struggling to find any information on this topic anywhere on the net:
How to view data produced by an Oracle OLAP DML program or statement.
Background :
I am using the latest AWM to create and maintain dimensions, cubes and measures. However, I've noticed that AWM, Discoverer OLAP, BI Beans, Excel Plug-In et al only provide a fixed set of formula and expressions.
For example, I wanted to created a Standard Deviation (STDEV) on measure. After much searching I learnt that I could do this by creating a custom measure in AWM by importing a measure defined in an XML dcoument as it's not provided by AWM. The output in Discoverer OLAP on the surface seems to give the correct results, however when drilling from high level to lower level of time time dimension hierarchy Discoverer includes the parent value in the calculation and renders the values incorrect.
My alternative is to use OLAP DML, as it provides a richer range of formuale and calculations possibilities and I was hoping to use this functionality to do create the measures. I have the distinct impression, however, that OLAP Worksheet is the only interface out there to do this.
It seems very primitive and limited with regards to data output, almost like SQL*Plus in many ways.
The burning questions I have are :
1) Do I need to write DML programs to perform these custom measure calculations and add them to cubes or do I import the custom measures via AWM and XML?
2) If the answer to question 1 is DML programming, is there a way of viewing the OLAP data output through a GUI interface without embedding the statements in SQL.
3) Has anyone experienced or noticed the same problem with Discoverer OLAP, AWM Viewer that I mentioned above? i,e, statistical functions performed on whole dimension hierarchy rather than lower levels.
I'm hoping someone out there knows what I am trying to do or get at. Keith, any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Greg

Hi Greg,
There are two ways to achieve what you want. Both require the use of custom calculations which cannot be created via the calculation wizard within AWM. To do this the easiest way is step outside of AWM and use the Excel Calculation utility that is on the OLAP OTN home page:
Creating OLAP Calculations using Excel
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/olap/SpreadsheetCalcs_10203.zip
Readme
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/OLAP_SpreadsheetCalcs.html
(Oracle OLAP DML Reference contains a list of all the OLAP functions that can be used to create a custom calculation. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/OLAP_DML_10.2.zip)
The Excel tool lets you assign your own formula to a measure and then uploads that measure definition into your AW. It is possible to import a custom calculation template into AWM using the menu option on the Calculated Measure node of each cube, but it is safer to use the Excel Worksheet as this directly uses the public XML API and is always best to use a public API rather than hacking XML templates.
There are two types of custom calculation:
1) Formula: using a formula you can directly call any of the OLAP functions. For example to create a measure that returns the standard deviation for a measure then you would enter the following as the formula for your calculated measure:
stddev(sales_revenue, time)
The easiest way to test if the measure is working as expected is to use the data viewer within AWM.
2) Programs - if the function you need is not provided or you want to do special processing to return a result you can create an OLAP DML program which can return a result. To do this use OLAP Worksheet to define the program and add a datatype to the DEFINE statement, such as :
DEFINE PRG_SD_SALES PROGRAM DECIMAL
In the program return the value you have calculated within your program. Within the program you can do just about anything but be aware that your program is going to fire for every cell within your virtual cube so it must be efficient and fast to execute. For a measure then you would enter the following as the formula for your calculated measure:
prg_sd_sales(time, products, geographies, channels).
The actual program code would look something like this:
DEFINE PRG_SD_REVENUE PROGRAM DECIMAL
PROGRAM
argument T_TIME TIME
argument T_PRODUCT PRODUCTS
argument T_GEOGRAPHY GEOGRAPHIES
argument T_CHANNEL CHANNELS
variable D_RETURN decimal
TEMPSTAT TIME, PRODUCTS, GEOGRAPHIES, CHANNELS
do
limit PRODUCTS to T_PRODUCT
limit CHANNELS to T_CHANNEL
limit GEOGRAPHIES to T_GEOGRAPHY
limit TIME to T_TIME
limit TIME add descendants using TIME_PARENTREL
limit TIME keep TIME_LEVELREL 'CAL_MONTH'
D_RETURN = stddev(SALES_REVENUE)
doend
return D_RETURN
END
This code computes a standard deviation the all months within the specified time range, at year level for all 12 months, at quarter level for the three months within the quarter ans returns NA at the month level.
As the code executes within a implicit loop you can only change the status fo dimensions that for part of that implicit by using the TEMPSTAT command. To test the program at the command line use the OLAP Worksheet and the SHOW command to just return one cell of data, DO NOT SIMPLY USE THE RPR COMMAND because you will have to wait for the whole cube to be returned. If you want to use the RPR command make sure you limit your base dimensions first! You can use PRGTRACE to debug your program code it is not working as expected. Again, the easiest way to test if the measure is working as expected is to use the data viewer within AWM, although this will not return debug information so send all your debug output to a file to capture any errors and/or trace the execution flow.
Hope this helps

JAXB: Read XML data from a String?

Hi,
I get XML data not from file but as a string and I wanted to use JAXB to parse it and get my Java Objects.
The unmarshall methods wants an "InputStream", but "StringBufferInputStream" is deprecated, so that I don't know a way to use my String as InputStream.
Can someone give me a hint other then writing the data in a file first?

Hi FrankSch,
The unmarshall methods wants an "InputStream", but
"StringBufferInputStream" is deprecated, so that I
don't know a way to use my String as InputStream.
Can someone give me a hint other then writing the data
in a file first?Yes, the class StringBufferInputStream is deprecated, and the deprecation notice reads:
Deprecated. This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the StringReader class.
The JDK API usually mentions an alternative to the deprecated method/class and in this case, you should use java.io.StringReader. It has one constructor and should suite you nicely:
StringReader(String s) That way, you get an InputStream object; you can now use JAXB.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
Upload Excel file using File Upload UI
1)Add jxl jar folder in the lib folder of ur project.
2)Go to properties of ur project and add jar to ur project.
3)Using the File upload ui ,browse and upload the file.
4)Write the read file in to ur server location using fileoutput stream.
5)then using code u can read the excelfile from the server location itself.
Here is the code:
     IWDAttributeInfo attInfo =wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("upload");
/** get the name of excel file and storing it in the server with the same name and extention****/
binaryType=IWDModifiableBinaryTypeattInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
fileuploaded = binaryType.getFileName();
byte b[] = wdContext.currentContextElement().getUpload();
File filename =new File("
<Server name>
<folde name>
" + fileuploaded);
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
out.write(b);
out.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
/**Readind from the server**/
int iRows = 0;
try {     Workbook wb = null;
     Sheet sheet = null;
     wb = Workbook.getWorkbook(filename);
     sheet = wb.getSheet(0);
     int iColumns = sheet.getColumns();
      iRows = sheet.getRows();
     int i = 0;
    //get Cell contents by (COLUMN, ROW);
    for (int r = 0; r < iRows; r++) {
   for (int c = 0; c < iColumns; c++) {
     Cell cell = sheet.getCell(c, r);
     characterarray<i> = cell.getContents();
//wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Row"r characterarray<i>);
i++;
wb.close();

Can't view data from BI Anaytics

Hi,
I am new to BI suite. currently our repository has two different connection pool associated with two different schema. Since my ex-coworker built the first one and left. I don't want to mess up with his work. I built another connection pool with different schema. There is no problem with deployment and i am able to view data in physical layer. But when i login to BI analytics and i found i am not able to view data. The error is:

My DBA told me it might be ODBC driver problem since he told me he didn't even see the query from database monitor. When i check ODBC setup in BI server and found there is default odbc setup under System DSN.
does anybody know what this problem is?
Thanks

Close Excel File after getting data from it

Hi!
I have a big vi to make data aquisiton from a spectrometer. I have the aquisition part and the "save to spreeadsheet" part also. Now I want to make a button to open the data from the excel file and show it in a xy chart. I had some problems but now its working except one important thing. After I read the data from the file and have it in the chart, it seems like the file it's not closed cause if I try to open it in excel, it "hangs" the computer. If I stop the vi, there's no problem. What can I do? I saw here in the forum that its not necessary to open or/and close spreedsheet files but i think this problem is because the file it's not "released" or something. Any help would be great.
Here's the part of the vi that reads the file, and the file itself.
Thanks in advance

Strange. I made the attachment. Anyway, here it is:

Retrieve data from a string.

I want to write a SQL script to retreive data between the third "|" and the forth "|" from a string:
Example:
String = 'H000319|VI|12|20000|20000|4201840007403429,09/2008,442667,,|'
The result should be 20000.
String = 'H000319|HK|0|11860|11860||'
The result should be 11860.
Many thanks!

With INSTR you can search for the n'th occurence of a character like this:
select substr('H000319|HK|0|11860|11860||'
             , instr('H000319|HK|0|11860|11860||', '|', 1, 3 ) + 1
             , length('H000319|HK|0|11860|11860||') - instr('H000319|HK|0|11860|11860||', '|', 1, 4 ) - 2

Procedure/batch file to export data from sql to excel(predefined path)

Hi,
I have countries, sites, states tables (total 3) in database (i have user id and password to connect to this database).
every week i need to extract data from these tables into excel files and i need to save those in shared drive for team use.
Currently i am connecting to database every time running sql query and manually exporting that latest data to excel and saving that as excel files in (G:\team\common\) folder with specific name.
output format should be : excel (.xls)
file names should - countries.xls,sites.xls,states.xls
server name : ap21
output location : G:\team\common\ ( G is shared drive).
i heard that we could create batch file to do this task and also we could use oracle procedure to do this task. but not sure which one is the best option.
could you please guide me what is the option and also help me with technical stuff to do this task.

Hello,
output format should be : excel (.xls)Do you really want to create .xls files? This is not easy to do because it is a proprietary (MS) binary format. You should consider other formats like .csv or .xlsx. Follow the link in the previous answer how to generate them.
file names should ...The name of the files does not matter, you are free to name them as you like.
server name : ap21
output location : G:\team\common\ ( G is shared drive).You can write the file generated in the database only to directories that are accessible from the db as Oracle Directories. You could mount the shared drive to the db server, but it might be better to write the output to a server directory and then transfer them to the shared drive with OS-copy command or FTP.
i heard that we could create batch file to do this task and also we could use oracle procedure to do this task. but not sure which one is the best option.I would use Oracle Scheduler to execute a PL/SQL procedure to generate the files and then a OS-batch file to transfer them. You can use the Scheduler to execute the batch file too, see {message:id=3895983}.

Creating Rule file to pull data from OCI Interface

Hi.
I am new to OCI, I have worked on DSN method earlier to pull data from database.
Can someone give me steps of how to pull data from OCI interface.
My database is Oracle 11gR2 and I am using 11.1.2.2 Fusion version.

The following post may help - Re: Essbase Rules Files and OCI
There have been a number of issues relating to data and using OCI, I am not sure whether they are all resolved in 11.1.2.2 so if you are using OCI make sure you validate the data once loaded into essbase.

Create file for export data from Essbase

I wish to create dynamically CalcScript for an unloading of the data from Essbase.
For this purpose I have created variables for each measurement.
How to create procedure for generate a file with my variables?
Thanks.

Hi,
There are a number of ways of doing this, you could use the odiOutFile tool and write your script into the text, replacing parts of the text with your ODI variables.
Or you can hold the script in say a db table or file and then create an interface to write a file, it should replace the variable text with your ODI variables if you declare them in a package.
