Xslt/xsql for csv output

anyone have a translator to convert the XML
out of a XSQL servlet to deliver plain old
comma separated values for Excel?
i've got some users that want to hit our XSQL
servlet but can't handle the processing of
XML, they just want csv files. i was thinking
they could just specify an additional XSLT filter on the output side.

I've since found that adjusting the crystal report gives the result I want. I changed the report detail to show in a group, then the output 'carriage returned' without issue.

Using Custom XSLT File for html output file

Hi all
I have probably rather a silly question but I have not found a solution yet.
I would like to use a custom XSLT file, which I already have and is working, within a Biztalk Map. The custom XSLT is generating a html file out of an xml file. However I'm not able to succeed so far because I have probably some issues in defining the correct
target schema.
The output that I get at the moment is just a duplicate of the input, probably because I have used the schema for source and target.
So my question is, how do I create a html file out of an xml with a custom XSLT file?
Sorry if this is a nooby question but I couldn't find an answer.

Hi Jerome,
Sorry, your question is not very clear. "I would like to use a custom XSLT file, which I already have and is working, within a BizTalk Map. The custom XSLT is generating a html file out of an xml file" - You have an XSLT which you use for map and how
its generating a HTML file? Are you using something like this?
Changing an XML Response to an HTML output using a Map
If your requirement is to output the html file from the received XML file using XSLT, then use a custom pipeline at send port like XSLT Transform Component and provide the XST which would change the XML to HTML. Here is an example of an XST which I have
used in the past, which converts the received OrderResponse XML to nicely formatted HTML.

How to Generate CSV Output from JD Edwards BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a report "Critical Date Report" - R15611 in JD Edwards 8.11. This report has to be generated as CSV output from BI Publisher which is embedded to JDE.
The purpose we want use BI Publisher is to move some of the data displaying to different place in the page(ex: Move the company address from top left corner to Bottom right corner).
In order to achieve this
1.We created blank rtf template and upload to XML repository using P95600 application
2.Create report definition using P95620 application
3.Here I see the available output types as PDF,RTF,HTML,EXCEL,POWERPOINT and XML,ETEXT(GRAYED OUT)
Which output type we can use for CSV ?
4.Execute the report definition of the critical date report from P95620 to get the XML source
5.This XML source will be loaded into the blank rtf template
6.From this point no idea how to design the rtf template in order to get the CSV output.
7.We did design and output type as excel - but the result data is not in good formatting and alignment*(Headers and footers are repeating).*
If any one has worked on similar type of requirement,let us know how to do or send a sample XML source,rtf template and how the CSV output will be. Or any document link present in Oracle site will be helpful. Please let me know if you need more details.
Thanks in Advance.
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
For CSV output, you need an E-text template (not RTF) that's why its grayed out! You can use Excel as output type and have (No headers and footers) , then you can open the file in Excel and store it as CSV. Does not always display correctly though.
Why are you compelled to use BI publisher? you can use the JDE standard csv output report, (as is used by most EDI systems) of course this may involve a bit of customization if you wants the fields arranged differently.

No data found in csv output

I have a classic (non-interactive) report that shows some strange behaviour.
It's a simple page with a report region.
On the report attributes page under 'report export' the value for 'Enable CSV output' is set to 'Yes' and 'Link label' has a meaningful discription.
In the development database it works as expected:
When I run the page the data is displayed and when I click the link for csv output I can either save or open the file. In both cases I find the data I expect in the csv file.
In production, however, when I run the page the data is displayed, but when I click the link for csv output the resulting csv file just shows "No Data Found"
I can imagine the report not returning any data, but in that case I shouldn't see any data on screen either.
And it's extra weird that in development it all works fine.
Anybody that can offer any help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eric
I would never dream of telling anyone not to argue with me :D I've been wrong before and will be again, no doubt!
For the DIV problem, I was more concerned with < appearing in the output rather than the SQL statement itself - generally problems such as this happen when something on the page is incorrectly formed. When you get a chance, in FireFox, install the Web Developer add-on. When this is installed, on the right-hand end of its toolbar, you will see three buttons - the last two tell you about css and javascript errors. For HTML errors, if you have a text editor that has syntax highlighting, do a View Source on the loaded page, take a copy of the source and paste it in to a new document in the text editor. Save this with an HTML file extension. This should colour-highlight everything. It should become obvious what is wrong as you tend to end up with way too much in the same colour. Finally, on the loaded page, right-click on the DIV text and select Inspect Element - this switches you to a heirarchical view of the HTML on the page in the FireBug pane. Follow the tree up from the DIV and have a look at the structue - at some point, something will look wrong.

CSV output includes div info in first column

All,
I have a report on a page that allows for CSV output. For some reason when I look at the output the first column in the header row includes div information and appears as follows:
<div id="report_1585218597659393_catch">"Title"Then in the last column there is an "</div>". Does anyone know what would cause this? I've tried changing some column names and even deleting and recreating the report but neither helped.
Dan

All,
As was pointed out in earlier replies, this is being caused by enabling PPR pagination. If PPR and CSV export are both needed, I would suggest using the pre-3.1 style PPR report templates. Those have the PPR stuff burned in directly.
I did fix the underlying bug though, yet this is not in the latest 3.1.1 patch release. So I don't know when this fix will become available.

Marc

CSV output does not show speacial characters properly

Hi,
I scheduled a report to generate csv output. Data contains some Czech, French, German characters which are not coming properly in csv. But if generate excel output, I can see it comes properly.
Please help me to resolve. I can not give long instructions to the users to use Import data options, define encoding etc.(available in MSexcel) while open the csv file in order to get coorect characters.
Kind Regards.

UTF-8 encoding is used for CSV output and please make sure you open it in UTF-8 encoding mode of your editor.

Problem Reagding CSV output

hi
WE have a requirement like in csv ouput only selected columns has to displayed . so in order to achieve that so many has suggested to go for etext template
so i have develope dthe etext template and uplated to bip as etext template and now it shows the supported output formats as text,xml ,csv.
Text output come fine with the slected columns in etext template but when comes to csv it is not using etext templat
so i am getting all the columns in the select query even though i have used etext template for csv output.
can anyone please give me any idea about this.
Thanks in Advance
Have a NIce day

If some could specify solution for this, it will be great help for me.
I ll give an example:
if the data model contains 5 columns and if I design template with 2 columns with some aggregation function included .Then if I try to view the same report in csv format, it displays all the 5 columns from the data model without considering the template. But when I try to view the same report in different format (excel, html, pdf, etc) it is displaying as it is uploaded in the bi publisher. So I request someone to give solution for the same
And i want add one more question to this post
when the bi publisher report viewed in a csv format, it includes the column header as well. I want to remove these header from the csv output.

Values for htmldb_item.text field do not display in CSV output

HTML DB experts,
I have a report query with the following 2 items in the SELECT statement:
wwv_flow_item.display_and_save(2, DOC_CD, 10) DOC_CD,
htmldb_item.text(3, DOC_DESC, 50, 255) DOC_DESC
I have enabled the CSV output for this report. The problem is, when I generate a csv file, only the DOC_CD (wwv_flow_item.display_and_save) displays. The values for the DOC_DESC (htmldb_item.text) do not display. What do I need to do to get the DOC_DESC to display?
Thanks for your help.
Message was edited by:
[email protected]

Items rendered using htmldb_item generate HTML tags on the form, not plain text. You are right, the CSV export excludes them.
Your best best is to create another report region on some other page with the same query except replace all the htmldb_item() calls with regular columns i.e. make it a read-only report and use the "export: CSV" template and put up a link to this page at the bottom of your editable report (instead of the builtin CSV link). This way when you click on this link, it will generate your report and immediately offer to export it to CSV
Hope this helps.

CSV Output for Classic Reports 100 columns.

Hi,
After hours of research and several attempts, I still haven't been able to figure out a way to export a report in CSV format. I can't use an Interactive Report as the view I am displaying on the report is larger than 100 columns. Although all the columns are displayed on the report,the CSV Output link doesn't export all the columns. Can anyone help me out? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.
Werot.

Were we looking at the same page? That page shows an ORACLE PACKAGE that you can modify if need be to get what you want. It's NOT a plugin with wrapped code..
(You need to look for this line in the blob: The source code for the package: as_xlsx)
Thank you,

Csv output filename &item.

hello,
i have a report and enabled csv output.the filename-help say:Specify a name for the export file. If no name is specified, the region name is used followed by the extension .csv.
ok,filename is not specified,and my region-name is
Kundenrechnung Nr. &P35_X_RECHNR.
P35_X_RECHNR is an hidden item and works fine in regionsname,as example regionsname looks like Kundenrechnung Nr. 719
but when i downlaod the file,the filename is Kundenrechnung Nr. &P35_X_RECHNR..CSV
how can i use my hidden item in csv filename ?
[email protected]

Hi Christian,
in your case there is a timing problem: The substitution for the region title is part of the region rendering process as is the filename. There is no double-substitution at that point. Imagine the current state to be filename:=NVL(substitute(filename), region_title) where region_title has the value that is handed to the rendering process.
We reference a hidden page item as filename directly, e.g. "&PX_FILENAME..csv"
The item value is calculated by a page process that is executed "On Submit - After Computations and Validations", and that works fine. You could try to set the filename to be "Kundenrechnung Nr. &P35_X_RECHNR..CSV" since P35_X_RECHNR should contain the appropriate value at that time.

Problem in CSV Output

when i am trying look at the csv outpt even if i am not giving the table header row in the template design it is taking some other header rows and displaying it in the output i need just the data in the csv output
how to solve this issue
Can you give me any idea how to proceed on this issue.
Thank you
Have a Nice Day.

If some could specify solution for this, it will be great help for me.
I ll give an example:
if the data model contains 5 columns and if I design template with 2 columns with some aggregation function included .Then if I try to view the same report in csv format, it displays all the 5 columns from the data model without considering the template. But when I try to view the same report in different format (excel, html, pdf, etc) it is displaying as it is uploaded in the bi publisher. So I request someone to give solution for the same
And i want add one more question to this post
when the bi publisher report viewed in a csv format, it includes the column header as well. I want to remove these header from the csv output.

Restricting the CSV Output

Hi
we want to restrict some of the columns in the csv output is there any way to do it other than using extext templates.
Thanks in Advance,
Have a Nice day

Thanks for your reply .
But i am having some idea will it can be implemented.
as you said it will depend on the datamodel .
Consider i am having 2 datasets in my datamodel for my report to get the pdf,html,excel.
so i want to add one more data set in the same data model with llimited number of columns in the select query and i want to use that dataset in the datamodel in the report generation when i choose the csv ouput.
Is it possible i am using bi publisher 11g.
So if it is possbile i can restrict my output in csv format too.
This is my idea i dont know whether it is possible or not.

Classic Report CSV output failed to parse SQL query

Hi,
I'm trying to get a CSV output from a classic report. I'm generating the report based on a PL/SQL block that will return an SQL query. But when i download the CSV excel just gives me a:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: Missing expression
and shows me the query that the application is trying to parse. I'm also using bind variables (page items) in the PL/SQL block that is returning me the SQL query. I think that the reason that it fails to parse the query is that the query that is shown in excel has no bind variable values.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Arif,
run your page in debug mode and check out the SQL statement which is actually executed for the report. That might help to diagnose what is going wrong.
If you wish you can also post the report SQL statement which is getting executed.

Split CSV output column

I need to split a exported field from CSV file generated by Export-CSV Serverlist.csv in VMWare PowerCLI.
Get-VM * | Select Name,Notes | Export-Csv Serverlist.csv -NoTypeInformation
Current CSV output:
Name
Note
Server1 Exchange Server at HQ
Group=5
*** I need to move "Group=5" to next column instead in the same field. Every Note field have Group=x.
Name
Note Group
Server1 Exchange Server at HQ
Group=5

If I understand you correctly, you want to take the csv file you just made and create a csv file with three headings: Name, Note, Group. The value for Group is currently listed in the Note field.
Import-CSV Serverlist.csv |
Select Name, @{Name="Note";Expression={($_.Note -split "Group\=")[0]}},@{Name="Group";Expression={(($_.Note -Split "(Group\=)")[1..2]) -join ""}} |
Export-CSV newServerlist.csv -NoTypeInformation
