Discover Plus - Export to Text Tab delimited is not exporting all the rows

Hi gurus,
I am trying to export a large data report which has 1 million plus rows to text tab delimited. The export takes 9 plus hours to export and the data is not more than 100000.
My question is
1. How can I make the discoverer to export it quicker or rather faster to tab delimited.
2. Where can I change the number of rows to be exported.
Any help, suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks,
SAI

Hi Rod,
Yes. The text tab delimited export is taking lot of time. The total rows for this report are nearly 1 million. If I break down the report with condition and export it I was able to export it ( three files exported with 212000, 103000 and 687000 rows respectively).
But I m still having problems exporting it in one shot. Is there any way I could resolve this? Please let me know.
Thanks,
SAI

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Try:
REPORT ztest MESSAGE-ID 00.

And this is split by tab delimited and moved to other variables as shown above.
Please guide me how to read the contents without "#' from the file.
I have tried all possible ways and unable to get solution.
Thanks,
Shrikanth

Hi ,
In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further # appears..
and no # appears then try to split now.
if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
and then again try to replace it and then split..
Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
This should work for you..
Let me know if you further face any issue...

SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 Tab Delimited setup is not working correctly in Report Designer

I have changed a RSReportDesigner.config to add a tab delimited option for report export, but it is not working correctly in vs2008/vs2010 report designer. I get a duplicate of CSV (comma delimited) in the export dropdown list.
I have tested SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit professional.
It is working correctly in the report manager.

Hi Dave0323,
According to your description, you want to export your report into TXT file and change the delimiter to be a Tab. Right?
In Reporting Services, when exporting to a CSV file, we can change the default field delimiter to any character that we want, including TAB, by changing the device information settings in the configuration file. For example, to use TAB,
update the FieldDelimiter setting to <FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve">[TAB]</FieldDelimiter>. And we can change the FileExtension to be TXT if we want to export it into a TXT file. So in this scenario, we just need to modify the configuration
file like below:
The result looks like below:

CSV Device Information Settings
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

To import addresses, need format of tab delimited file

I am trying to import addresses from my G3 PB Mozilla App. I exported addresses on G3 to both ldif and tab-delimited files and then attached to an email message which I sent to myself. I received email on Mac mini, but the 2 files showed up inline, not as attachments. I copied the ldif portion to a text file; ditto for tab-delimited. I tried importing into Address Book, but got message that format was not valid.
Can't I just edit the tab-delimited file in TextEdit, save as RTF, and get Address Book to recognize the data?
Thanks,
Owen

Hi
I can't see any difference u're using the same table RESULT to transfer the data T_DOWNLOAD, so the program should have the same behavior.
Perhaps you should past all code for both cases.

Sender File Adapter-Content conversion for a tab delimited file

Hi all,
I have a FIle to IDoc scenario, where the File is with the structure Header,Detail,Trailer.
Header and Trailer are with fixed field lengths, whereas the detail records are tab delimited.(Functional spec says delimited by H'05').
I have given the parameters as follows:
Header.keyFieldValue     H
Header.fieldFixedLengths     1,1,4,1,8
Header.fieldNames     a,b,c,d,e
Header.endSeparator     'nl'
Detail.fieldNames     a,b,c,d,e,f
Detail.fieldSeparator     '0h05'
Detail.keyFieldValue     LOA
Detail.endSeparator     'nl'
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths     1,1,8
Trailer.fieldNames     a,b,c
Trailer.keyFieldValue     T
ignoreRecordsetName     true
In SXMB_MONI, I get the payload with just the Header and Trailer and not the detail records, even though my file has so many records in it.I m pretty sure, this happens because of my Detail.fieldSeparator parameter.
Can anyone please help me with this?What is the correct value for this parameter?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Anjana.

first of all make sure with a hex editor that the hex code of the delimiter sign is really 05. This is an odd character, as the normal tab is hex 09.
when you have confimred it, check online help for file adapter config for the correct entry of hex codes. I think it is something like '0x05',

Import text into a form from a tab delimited file using an action

Good evening.
I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro
I have been working all weekend so far on this, and have tried many options.
What I am wanting is to import a line of data from an excel file into a form, save the file with a name drived from the form fields, close the new file, then go back to the original file, import a line of data, and so on and so on.
I had all of this working in livecyle with a tool, but now that we are going to Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013, the driver that I need to load the excel file into the form is not available--so now I have to redo the forms in Adobe and import using a tab delimited file.
I would like to do this with an action.
Thus far, I have the following.
**Credit goes to George Johnson who helped me with the script to save the file using field names a few months ago**
To start, I have a folder level script
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path)
app.beginPriv();
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.saveAs(path);
app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path)
//privileged and/or non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv();
mySaveAs(doc, path);
app.endPriv
//Privileged and/or non-privileged code below
For the Action, I start with the Form file loaded
Then I execute a javascript to import the text into the file.
this.importTextData("/c/data/clerical.txt");
The next step is to save the file using field names as part of the file name
--credit goes to George Johnson who assisted me with this on a similar project a few months ago.
//Get the Field Value
var fn=getField("Last").valueAsString + "-" + getField("First").valueAsString;
//Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/data/";
//Determine the full path
var fp=fldr + fn + ".pdf";
//save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
That is as far as I have gotten.
What I want to do now is load the original form file, import the next line into the form, save the file, repeat.
If anyone could assist me, I would greatly appreciate it.
**note I had to type this from my I-pad because I kept getting kicked off the internet from my computer. I hope my code is typed correctly.

George
Thank you so much for your response.
Yes--there are multiple lines in the data file--it will vary from month to month. It looks like from what you are saying is that I need to do the global variable since it will constantly change, and then increment it as it goes through the text file. When it reaches the end, then it will stop.
I looked at the following links--but this is from Adobe 9 API--I don't know if things have changed with XI--especially since 9 used batch processing and XI has actions.

If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

GUI_UPLOAD can't upload data in a tab-delimited text file

Hi.
I was trying to upload data in a tab-delimited textfile.
I could do it for a ASC textfile (by setting FILETYPE = 'ASC'), but I couldn't do it for a tab-delimited textfile (by setting FILETYPE = 'DAT').
Any help is appreciated.

hi kian,
If u r using DAT file then HAS_FIELD_SEPERATOR should contain X.
check the following code:
parameters: p_file like rlgrap-filename. " File Name.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
 exporting
 filename = p_file " NAME of the file
 filetype = 'DAT'
 has_field_separator = 'X ' " X indicates Fields are separated by tabs.
 tables
 data_tab = t_file " Internal table that contains the file data
 exceptions
 file_open_error = 1
 file_read_error = 2
 no_batch = 3
 gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
 invalid_type = 5
 no_authority = 6
 unknown_error = 7
 bad_data_format = 8
 header_not_allowed = 9
 separator_not_allowed = 10
 header_too_long = 11
 unknown_dp_error = 12
 access_denied = 13
 dp_out_of_memory = 14
 disk_full = 15
 dp_timeout = 16
 others = 17.
IF the file type is DAT then following rules applies.
The components of the internal table are filled from the file. If the
table contains several columns, the entries in the file must be
separated by tabs. No conversion exits are carried out.
The following applies for the different data types:
- I or N or P or F
 The numbers must be formatted according to the decimal representation
 defined in the user settings.
 - D
 The date must be defined according to the date format defined in the
 user settings.
 - T
 The time must have the format hh:mm:ss.

T-code F.27 or F.61 send raw data (tab delimited) to customers statements

To enable intercompany customers to reconcile their accounts with ease we want to give them an excel file of all open items.
Our thoughts are to use T-code F.27 (standard transaction for generating account statements) or F.61 and instead of sending a form, we would like to send raw data (tab delimited) which can easily be opened in excel to their email address.
Each time I try I can only get a pdf or fixed file.
Has anyone else done this?
How to do, create this?

*has anyone else extracted info to send to customers in format that can be amended i.e excel ? *

Hi
do you find a solution for your issue? Or did anyone else know how to send raw data instead of the pdf or fixed file from transaction F.61?
Thanks for any ideas or help

Text Tab delimited - using Numbers

I have some Numbers files that I need to upload to a contact manager as Text Tab - Delimited. I cannot seem to find the correct way of doing it, since I am not able to get them done.

If you need to export data from specific tables, you can try is selecting the cells, command-c to copy, and in a text editor, command-v to paste, and then save to file, which you should then be able to upload to the contact manager.
Selecting cells and copying them places their values on the clipboard tab-delimited.

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.12 - value modification during export in tab delimited format

Hi all,
we have noticed unproper value modification during export in tab delimited format.
Please find example below:
The proper value is 24150170000011615 (it is state register number of enterprise).
The wrong value is 24150170000011600.
Correct value:
http://s12.postimg.org/v2gpqqzgd/obiee_1.png
How do we export data from obiee:
http://s23.postimg.org/6k7dwiezf/obiee_2.png
Wrong value after export:
http://s22.postimg.org/qdgqgogn5/obiee_3.png
What should we do to fix it?

The bigger picture is as follows:
I have a button on my report that essentially should download the output of report to tab delimited text file. This button is integrated with a custom built class which has a main method. When I click on the button, the logic written in the main method gets executed.
In this method I generate my internal table and pass to cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download method with parameters mention above.
I try debugging but every thing seems to be working correct when sy-subrc = 0 through executable program and it does not enter into the download method logic when i do it through main method, instead sy-subrc is straight set to 6 (unknown error).

How to convert Mail attachment file Tab Delimited file to XML.

Hi PI Experts
 I have XI scenario: MAIL XI SAP (ABAP Proxy), the process is
1. XI will receive tab delimited file as attachment in mail.
2. XI will convert the tab delimited file into XML, then map to the target structure.
3. Target will be posted into ECC through ABAP Proxy.
Can anyone help me how can I convert the attachment file (i.e. Tab delimited file) to XML while configuring the sender side.
Thanks in Advance

I just grabed what I answered from another thread. It should work.
Processing sequence as follows:
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean swap1
2. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean Local Enterprise Bean tran1
3. sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration as follows: Fill the XXXX part with your info.
swap1 swap.keyName payload-name
swap1 swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
tran1 Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
tran1 Transform.ContentType ext/xml;charset=utf-8
tran1 xml.conversionType SimplePlain2XML
tran1 xml.documentName XXXXXXX_Mail
tran1 xml.documentNamespace http://XXXXX.com.au/XXXX
tran1 xml.fieldSeparator \t
tran1 xml.processFieldNames fromConfiguration
tran1 xml.structureTitle rows
Once you set up the above configuration, you will get one record at a time.
Create a souce message interface like the followings:
XXXXXXXXX_Mail
rows
record
Target message interface:
XXXXXXXXX
rows
field 1
field 2
field 3
Write a UDF function to remove the TAB space
public removeTABSpace(String record,Container container){
//write your code here
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(record,"\t",false);
String t="";
while (st.hasMoreElements()) t += st.nextElement();
return t;
Write another UDF to get the field 1 for example:
public String getField1(String input,Container container){
int counter=0;
int beginIndex=0;
int endIndex=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==1){
beginIndex=i+1;
counter=0;
break;
for (i=0;i<input.length();i++){
if (input.charAt(i)==34){
counter=counter+1;
if (counter==2){
endIndex=i;
counter=0;
break;
input=input.substring(beginIndex,endIndex);
return input;
Get the mapping like the followings:
record - removeTABSpace - getField1 - field 1
If you need to get field 2, you will need to write another UDF similar to the above one to handle it.
