Trouble creating a csv file to bulk import users

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to put a .csv file together to bulk import users. I'm practicing with one user right now. This is my CSV header:
GivenName,Name,SamAccountNAme,Description,Department,OU,Enabled,Accountpassword,PasswordNeverExpires,CannotChangePassword
This is my first line:
newuser,newuser,newuser,newuser,Group2,OU=Group2,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM,$True,P@ssw0rd,$True,$True
When I test my file this is the output:
GivenName                      : newuser
Name                               : newuser
SamAccountNAme            : newuser
Description                       : newuser
Department                      : Group2
OU                                    : OU=Group2
Enabled                            : DC=CONTOSO
Accountpassword             : DC=COM
PasswordNeverExpires    : $True
CannotChangePassword : P@ssw0rd
I obviously need to state the OU in the csv otherwise because the values are not in the correct place right now. Putting OU=Group2,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM between brackets "..." doesn't help. Then all values are stated at 'GivenName'.
Please help:-)

Thank you Mahdi,
When I do that, I get this:
GivenName            : newuser,newuser,newuser,newuser,Group2,"OU=Group2,DC=contoso,DC=com"$True,P@ssw0rd,$True,$True
Name                 :
SamAccountNAme       :
Description          :
Department           :
Path                 :
Enabled              :
Accountpassword      :
PasswordNeverExpires :
CannotChangePassword :
There is one (,) missing between path and $true. I tested it and it works fine. However I am glad you found your way.

How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

Hi
i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
Note The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
The error i am getting while importing this file:
Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
Assistance appreciated.

It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
It should be as follows
{Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
below is a link to the documentation

Create a csv file and send it in an email

In coldfusion, is it possible to create a csv file and send it in an email, without ever saving that file on the hard drive?

Yes, you can create an email attachment without writing a file to disk. This feature was introduced in CF 8.0.1.
I've posted a sample to a previous thread on the forums.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2123297
See the CFMAILPARAM section of CF 8.0.1 release notes for attachments without a file on disk.

Issue when creating a CSV file

Stupid issue but I've tried to fix it all day and it's not working...
I need to create a CSV file made up of 3 columns, 2 number and 1 char. The char column is a company name that has spaces in it. When I run the query in SQL Developer, the char column looks fine. When I run in in BiPub as a CSV, I get double-quotes around the char column. It looks fine if I would look at it as DATA or any other format.
I can't use the REPLACE function because there's nothing wrong with the data.
We're using BI Pub v.10.1.3.4.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

First I tried using a basic rtf file and just selected CSV as the type. Then I tried using the 'e-text template' and selecting CSV, same result. Now I'm trying to use an .xsl file instead of a .rtf to see if that works.

Getting CLOB fron Database then creating a CSV File

Hi,
I am trying to read a CLOB for the DB in my Backing Bean with the help of EJB.
The code in my backing bean is:
char[] strReportContent = reportObj.getReportText();The API where the accessors for getReportText() is;
@Lob
@Column(name="REPORT_TEXT")
public char[] getReportText()
    return reportText;
public void setReportText(char[] reportText)
    this.reportText = reportText;
}The problem is that when I do a system out on strReportContent I get a garbage value and not what is in the DB.
Please Help.
Then to render it on the CSV the code is:
// Init servlet response.
      response.reset();
      response.setContentType("plain/text");
      // response.setContentLength(input.available());
      response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
                         "inline; filename=\"" + selectedReportId.getReportName() + "\"");
      output =
          new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
char[] strReportContent = reportObj.getReportText();
output.write(strReportContent.toString().getBytes(), 0, strReportContent.length);

Hi,
I am not removing any zeroes . I created the same file in .txt format and XI was able to write the value 008.2010 to the txt file.
I suppose this has somehting to do with excel file properties . By default when we add 008.2010 in the excel sheet , it takes only 8.201. We need to change the format to "text" manually in the excel file to take in zeroes as well.
So , i really dont know how to make sure that the excel file properties does not truncate zeroes while XI is creating the CSV file.

I am having a problem creating a CSV file

I have created CSV files and imported them into Mac's contact book before. For some reason this time its not allowing me to import them because its giving me this message: TEXT FILE IMPORT FAILURE "The selected file does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file or a valid tab delimited file. Choose a different file."
The text when I copy paste it even comes out deliniated and everything.

Obtaining a rowcount from a csv file before bulk insert

I have a group of csv files that i am bulk inserting into my sql table. They are varying lengths, but the last seven lines of every file are not lines of data that comply with the format of my table and are causing insert errors. I know i can
specify a "lastrow" value for the bulk insert, but my problem is that i need a rowcount before running the statement and I can't seem to figure out a way of getting it with how im accessing the file. (example below of what i'm doing without
checking for the qty of rows):
CREATE TABLE ALLFILENAMES(WHICHPATH VARCHAR(255),WHICHFILE varchar(255))
--some variables
declare @filename varchar(255),
@path varchar(255),
@sql varchar(8000),
@cmd varchar(1000),
@lastrow integer
--get the list of files to process:
SET @path = '\\chewbacca\PlantFloorData\RLData\'
SET @cmd = 'dir ' + @path + '*.csv /b'
print @path
print @cmd
INSERT INTO ALLFILENAMES(WHICHFILE)
EXEC Master..xp_cmdShell @cmd
UPDATE ALLFILENAMES SET WHICHPATH = @path where WHICHPATH is null
--cursor loop
declare c1 cursor for SELECT WHICHPATH,WHICHFILE FROM ALLFILENAMES where WHICHFILE like '%.csv%'
open c1
fetch next from c1 into @path,@filename
While @@fetch_status <> -1
begin
set @lastrow = 3 -- for now just to make sure logic below works
print @lastrow
--bulk insert won't take a variable name, so make a sql and execute it instead:
set @sql = 'BULK INSERT HMIDATA.dbo.RawData FROM ''' + @path + @filename + ''' '
+ ' WITH (
FIELDTERMINATOR = '','',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''\n'',
FIRSTROW = 2 ,
LASTROW = ' + STR(@lastrow) + '
print @sql
exec (@sql)
fetch next from c1 into @path,@filename
end
close c1
deallocate c1
--Extras
--delete from ALLFILENAMES where WHICHFILE is NULL
--select * from ALLFILENAMES
drop table ALLFILENAMES

You could do a SELECT COUNT(*) FROM OPENROWSET(BULK), but you would need a format file that specifies a single-field record format with \r\n as the terminator. With the COUNT(*) you could determine the correct value for LASTROW.
You could also load the entire file into a two-column table where one column is an IDENTITY column and the other is the raw data from the line in the file. And then you could crack the good rows.
...or you could write a client-side program or a SSIS package for the task.

Creating a CSV file from a pl/sql procedure

Hi Everyone,
I would like to know how to write a procedure in pl/sql where i need to check if they are any records in a table say "Table A".

If they are no records then we need to insert a record into the CSV file that "No records are found in "Table A".
Could anybody please help ?

How do I create a .csv file on my mac?

I am having issues doing some reporting. I have a file that I pull from safari- I need to be able to put this into numbers. Typically, in windows, I would paste the info onto a notepad and save as .csv, then open again in numbers.
So--I can't save in pages like that-- and I can't get it to past in numbers correctly. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

Thanks-- I was really trying to get it to this point... I just want to take the text and manipulate it in numbers.
So -- essentially-- I have text that is already comma separated, but can't figure out how to either save as a .csv file that i can import into numbers-- OR just save the text in numbers - where each comma separates the data into different collumns.
Any suggestions would be completely appreciated!!

First Row Record is not inserted from CSV file while bulk insert in sql server

Hi Everyone,
I have a csv file that needs to be inserted in sql server. The csv file will be format will be like below.
1,Mr,"x,y",4
2,Mr,"a,b",5
3,Ms,"v,b",6
While Bulk insert it coniders the 2nd column as two values (comma separte) and makes two entries .So i used filelterminator.xml.
Now, the fields are entered into the column correctly. But now the problem is, the first row of the csv file is not reading in sql server. when i removed the terminator, i can get the all records. But i must use the above code terminator. If
am using means, am not getting the first row record.
Please suggests me some solution.
Thanks,
Selvam

Hi,
I have a csv file (comma(,) delimited) like this which is to be insert to sql server. The format of the file when open in notepad like below:
Id,FirstName,LastName,FullName,Gender
1,xx,yy,"xx,yy",M
2,zz,cc,"zz,cc",F
3,aa,vv,"aa,vv",F
The below is the bulk insert query which is used for insert above records,
EXEC(BULK INSERT EmployeeData FROM '''+@FilePath+'''WITH
(formatfile=''d:\FieldTerminator.xml'',
ROWTERMINATOR=''\n'',
FIRSTROW=2)'
Here, I have used format file for the "Fullname" which has comma(,) within the field. The format file is:
The problem is , it skip the first record (1,xx,yy,"xx,yy",M) when i use the format file. When i remove the format file from the query, it takes all the records but the "fullName" field makes the problem because of comma(,) within the
field. So i must use the format file to handle this. So please suggest me , why the first record skipped always when i use the above format file.
If i give the "FirstRow=1" in bulk insert, it shows the "String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated." error. I have checked the datatype length.
Please update me the solution.

Selvam. M

Create XML format file in bulk insert with a data file with out delimiter

Hello
I have a date file with no delimiter like bellow
0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
I just know 5 first number in a line is for example "ID of bank"
or 6th and 7th number in a line is for example "ID of employee"
Could you help me how can I create a XML format file?
thanks alot

This is a fixed file format. We need to know the length of each field before creating the format file. Say you have said the first 5 characters are Bank ID and 6th to 7th as Employee ID ... then the XML should look like,
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="1"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="5"/>
<FIELD ID="2"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="2"/>
<FIELD ID="3" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="8"/>
<FIELD ID="4" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
<FIELD ID="5" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
<FIELD ID="6" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="1"/>
</RECORD>
<ROW>
<COLUMNSOURCE="1"NAME="c1"xsi:type="SQLNCHAR"/>
<COLUMNSOURCE="2"NAME="c2"xsi:type="SQLNCHAR"/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="3" NAME="c3" xsi:type="SQLCHAR"/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="4" NAME="c4" xsi:type="SQLINT"
/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="5" NAME="c5" xsi:type="SQLINT"
/>
</ROW>
</BCPFORMAT>
Note: Similarly you need to specify the other length as well.

Script Task to Create a ".CSV" file and save it on SFTP.

I have a sql query that is being pulled from a variable. Using this variable I want to create a .csv and save it on SFTP. I do not want to use any third party tools. I really appreciate if anyone can help me with the code. I do not know coding.

The solution Visakh has provided still requires third-party tool. And the proposed tool is not integrated in SSIS.
For a better alternative I would recommend the commercial COZYROC
SFTP Task. It is completely integrated in SSIS and very similar to the standard FTP Task.

Zero is getting truncated while XI is creating a CSV file

Hi,
Scenario is IDOC to File.
in the IDOC i get some Serial number as 00000007856465 in the output CSV file i need this value as 07856465
Here when i run this map in the ESR Message mapping i could see 07856465 this value fine but while posting at the output directory the values are dropped with zeros truncated.
in the output CSV file -- the value is -- 7856465
Could you please help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks,
--Sai.

Hi Sai Krishna,
As said by Bhaskar, use Formatnum function or UDF in your mapping. So that you would be able to get the 0's in the output.
I would prefer to go with FormatNum function.
Check the UDF provided by Raja Shekar in the below thread:
UDF for leading zero's in message mapping
