Export a Table to a flat file and upload to a FTP server for external provider

I did some extensive research on forums and I think I have an idea, but really need help. Basically to have a table that is to be exported in a flat file and uploaded to an FTP server so that our provider can obtain the data from Monday to Saturday and automated by sysdate. These data are used to produce daily letters that come out to customers.

After doing some research I came across the UTL_FILE package and read more into that right now, but I don't know if that's what I use to create the file.
I use TOAD right now and see how the do it manually but really need the file to create itself and send it automatically to 06:00 Monday - Saturday, with the date at the end of the name of the file, which makes a single file for each day.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

As Justin and others have said that I wrote [XUTL_FTP | http://www.chrispoole.co.uk/apps/xutlftp.htm] If you won't find in the Oracle documentation. It is pure PL/SQL using UTL_TCP and implements a built-in FTP from PL/SQL client / API. One of its many procedures overloaded FTP the contents of a refcursor directly to an FTP server of your choice, which means that no intermediate file is necessary. Since it is pure PL/SQL, it is trivial to program using DBMS_JOB/DBMS_SCHEDULER.

Any questions just ask.

  • write 1 d digital table in a binary file and start a new line or insert a separator for each loop writing file

    Hello:

    I'm fighting with digital table of 1 d writeing in a binary file and start a new line or insert a separator for each loop writing file. So for each loop, it runs, LABVIEW code will collect a table 1 d with 253 pieces of a spectrometer. When I write these tables in the binay file and the following stack just after the previous table (I used MATLAB read binary file). However whenever if there is missing data point, the entire table is shifted. So I would save that table 1-d to N - D array and N is how many times the loop executes.

    I'm not very familiar with how write binary IO files works? Can anyone help figure this? I tried to use the file position, but this feature is only for writing string to Bodet. But I really want to write 1 d digital table in N - D array. How can I do that.

    Thanks in advance

    So, how can I not do the addition of a length at the beginning of each entry? Is it possible to do?

    On top of the binary file write is a Boolean entry called ' Prepend/chain on size table (T) '.  It is default to TRUE.  Set it to false.

    Also, be aware that Matlab like Little Endian in LabVIEW by default Big Endian.  If you probably set your "endianness" on writing binary file as well.

  • Export a table for the flat file and must insert sysdate in flat file column

    Hi, I created an interface allowing to export an oracle table to a csv file. All the columns in the table work well. Then I need to insert the sysdate in a column in the csv file.

    I made the map as working in the transit area, implementation is to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy'). But the result is insert in column 14.

    I tried to create a variable refreshing that choose double to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy'), maps then as the csv file column, but he only insert 1 row and the format is YYYYMMDD.

    I tried to use SELECT '< % = odiRef.getSysDate ("YYYYMMDD") % >' double to the variable and it also only insert a line in the flat file.

    I used the same methodology in ODI10g, it works fine.

    So, I wonder how it can be implemented in 11g.

    Thank you

    It turns out that I used the snapshot_date as a field name, it may be a reserved word. After that I changed the name of the field, it works fine. Thank you.

  • Problems to reverse a flat file and use it as TARGET

    Hi all.

    I have a requirement to create a CSV file with two columns, username and password. I use an ODI Client in a Windows XP and my ODI Server is a Unix server.

    I tried so many different ways to reverse the file, but all attempts fail. :(

    In my unix server, the file is located in/opt/odi_files/csv and my windows client is in C:/TEST_TXT_ODI. The file name is Export_Siebel_to_CA. CSV.

    I created 2 logic diagrams, one called LS_FILE_WINDOWS_CSV and the other called LS_FILE_UNIX_CSV and the procedure of the physical schema, putting DS at the beginning... the other connecting correctly. I use the driver JDBC of Sunopsis file and when I test the connection by using the local agent or server, I have a success message. When I try to turn the tide, I get the error "unable to retrieve the list of files.

    I have used this site as my guide until now ["http://odiexperts.com/?p=78"], but the configuration of the topology to access the unix server or using my own machine as a location for the file, I was not able to retrieve the columns in the file.

    I think that there is something that I miss. Anyone help me?

    Kind regards.

  • Copy existing attached file of database to the FTP server.

    Attachments in our TAM system are currently stored in the database now occupy almost 40% of the database. A decision was taken to transfer these attachments from the database to the file system.

    I changed the definition of the URL to point to an FTP server instead of the RECORD://PSFILE_ATTDET delivery, now my question is how to migrate existing attachments from basic to this FTP server.

    Book PT CopyAttachments utility takes a very long time and I want to do this in small batches (say through a motor approx.) of my source (db) destination (ftp server). Any ideas?

    Create an engine of the application (for example) and use the GetAttachment build - in function to download a file of source record://PSFILE_ATTDET on the file of the application server/processcheduler system.
    After that use PutAttachment to transfer files from filedir appserver/processcheduler to the ftp site.

    Code would be something like this:

    local & rsPSFILE_ATTDET rowset
    & rsPSFILE_ATTDET = CreateRowSet (record. PSFILE_ATTDET);
    & rsPSFILE_ATTDET. Fill()

    i = 1 & at & rsPSFILE_ATTDET. ActiveRowCount
    SYSIXCOL = & rsPSFILE_ATTDET(&i).getrecord (1). SysFileName.value;
    & ret = GetAttachment ("record://PSFILE_ATTDET", & sysfile, [MakeUpALogicalFileName]);
    & ret = PutAttachment ("your ftp site", [GenerateNewSysFileName], [MakeUpALogicalFileName]);
    -end;

    GenerateNewSysFileName is usually a combination of datetime UuidGen() & %.

    You can of course also use CopyAttachments, except that with code above, you have more control of wich batch of transfer by adding a where clause for the instruction of filling clause.

  • I exported a custom mp4 (1 GB) file and the file I was left with is 1 KB, ideas?

    Hello world.

    I did a 23 minute of a few images of the gopro edit yesterday. Rendering of images, and then it was exported as a file h.264 following a guide on youtube. I put the target and a maximum bandwidth 6 past under level 4 and 5.1, and I think it was good enough.

    Click export, of course it took forever. The estimated file size was 1044 mb. The export took about 3/3.5 hours. Then, once I reached 100%, that the dialog box has disappeared, I navigated to the output location to find the mp4 with the correct title file but only 1 KB big so obviously, it won't play!

    Any ideas on what went wrong past and how can I solve this problem? I'm a little devastated at the loss of time if not!

    Thanks in advance for your time. I have some experience with Illustrator and PS by the work, but I've never used before pp.

    Downloading the mp4 1 k would be of any help?

    Not really.

    Most of your export settings is not visible,

    but nothing don't jump as being by far.

    I live in the land of NTSC, but one thing that I notice, is that you have a sequence of 25 p,

    and you encode a file 50 p...

    Have you selected the correct analytical schema when you imported your application?

    This scheme matches that of the request of source? from table configuration, etc. ?

    Do you use triggers to generate primary keys? They are present in the new scheme?

  • My lightroom folder can be moved to a database server keeps all its links and which is a good server for use with LR

    Hello

    I'm all new to Lightroom and thinking to use it as an archive system for all personal photographs that fall into the tens of thousands.

    I would like to set up a basic system if to protect my images, but am not sure which vendor to go with, at this point.

    So first of all, while getting to know Lightroom I thought I would set a Master Lightroom folder on my local experience.  Once I got used to it I was wondering if I could transfer to any cloud based on server and I see again all my shots related to Lightroom in their respective folders?

    While I'm here, I would also ask regular users of Lightroom that cloud system they found works best with Lightroom?  I use an iMac and I wanted to go with Apple, but what I read I don't know how the practice, it would be with Lightroom?  I will seek to buy 1 t of space on the cloud due to the large number of images, often taken on cameras large sensor, Nikon, PhaseOne etc there will be some Raw files in there.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Export of table to flat file

    OWB 10.2.0.1
    DB 10.2.0.4

    I need to export data to a flat file, and the ADMINISTRATOR has implemented a directory object:
    CREATE DIRECTORY "TEST_OUT" AS '(PATH ON THE SERVER)'
    Warehouse Builder can use it in a file location (and if so, how)?

    An alternative would be to put the utl_file_dir in the init.ora file and then create a file location that refers to the value utl_file_dir?

    If none of those who won't work, which is a good way to export data from flat files?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you create a connector to the location of the Oracle where the mapping will be deployed to a location where the file is configured (in OWB) and name the connector with the same name as the SQL directory it should do the trick. OWB mapping with the file as a target use UTL_FILE routines with a Directory SQL name. OWB can give you cannot create directory SQL errors because it exists, but you should ignore these and be OK. A small number of if and of but here in version 11 GR 2, we have the same functionality as db links where the connector can use an existing or create a new.
