I wanted to know if I can export any report into CSV format and store it in a file-cabinet folder. This needs to be happened daily automatically.
I tried using plug-in implementation script for email capture. For this, I scheduled the report to send an email. but that is not getting captured.
Can we create any scheduled script, read the report and create csv and save that file in file-cabinet?
You can use the N/task module to create a search task to save a saved search as CSV in the file cabinet.
var searchTask = task.create({
taskType: task.TaskType.SEARCH
});
searchTask.savedSearchId = searchInternalId;
searchTask.filePath = pathToFileInCabinet;
var taskId = searchTask.submit();

I am streaming real time tweets using R script and sending it to Power BI using (Streaming data and REST API) to create a live streaming dashboard.
I have to create a tile which shows tweets over time. But the date/time field does not get reflected in the tile, it is just empty.
I'm not sure if I have to change the datatype or format of the field? Below is how the date/time field looks in R.
The streaming dataset is as below:
Below is the tile I created (Shows blank)
If you don't see anything in the tile, probably your dataset doesn't received anything. Try to post some data manually, e.g. from a PowerShell script (place the correct URL):
$endpoint = "https://api.powerbi.com.com/beta/........."
$Time_Stamp = ($Time_Stamp = Get-Date).Datetime
$payload = #{ "date" = $Time_Stamp; "count" = 98.6; "score" = 98.6 }
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "$endpoint" -Body (ConvertTo-Json #($payload))
Does anything shows up in the tile? As we see from your screenshot, you enabled Historic data analysis. This means that you can create reports with this dataset. Try to make one to show the contents in a table. Is there any rows in this dataset?
UPDATE: Actually, to be sure, copy the sample PowerShell code to post to your dataset and try it. Go to the list of datasets in your workspace, find your one in the list and click on the (i) icon. Then from API Info panel go to PowerShell and copy/paste the code in PowerShell ISE to execute it:
Also, keep in mind that the tile will auto update itself only in a dashboard. You may need to refresh the report to get the up to date data, if you are looking at the tile in a report.
Is there any way to upload files using VBA to firebase?
Web code for uploading files in firebase
var storageRef = firebase.storage.ref("folderName/file.jpg");
var fileUpload = document.getElementById("fileUpload");
fileUpload.on(‘change’, function(evt) {
var firstFile = evt.target.file[0]; // get the first file uploaded
var uploadTask = storageRef.put(firstFile);
uploadTask.on(‘state_changed’, function progress(snapshot) {
console.log(snapshot.totalBytesTransferred); // progress of upload
});
});
But how do I use this in VBA? any help is appreciated. Also if you can point to me in right direction.
I did some research on Firebase. Currently you cannot use VBA to upload files directly to FB Storage, through API.
You can try using JS, as mentioned by you.
Another alternative will be Google Cloud Storage. Which is the back-end for firebase storage.
two ways of doing this.. Assuming there is a website where you can upload files, in such case you can use the standard IE object to navigate to a specific website, find the controls, select the files and using submit or click function upload the file..
The other way is to write a web-service and call it from vba. Both suggestions involves in calling the website/service.
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
IE.Navigate "Your upload page.."
Do While IE.ReadyState <> 4 Or IE.Busy = True
DoEvents
Loop
we don't have enough information so I just continue with the logic.
Find the upload document/filename field. insert your filename
IE.Document.getElementById("txt_upload_field").Value = myFileName
find the button/element to upload and perform click/submit action.
wait for your website and read the result
or you can write your own web service and perform a web-request using XMLHTTP. I personally would go for web-service.
there is also a third way. FTPing to your server..!
With the new Firebase API you can upload files into cloud storage from client code. The examples assume the file name is known or static during upload:
// Create a root reference
var storageRef = firebase.storage().ref();
// Create a reference to 'mountains.jpg'
var mountainsRef = storageRef.child('mountains.jpg');
// Create a reference to 'images/mountains.jpg'
var mountainImagesRef = storageRef.child('images/mountains.jpg');
or
// File or Blob, assume the file is called rivers.jpg
var file = ...
// Upload the file to the path 'images/rivers.jpg'
// We can use the 'name' property on the File API to get our file name
var uploadTask = storageRef.child('images/' + file.name).put(file);
With users uploading their own files, name conflicts are going to be an issue. How can you have Firebase create a filename instead of defining it yourself? Is there something like the push() feature in the database for creating unique storage references?
Firebase Storage Product Manager here:
TL;DR: Use a UUID generator (in Android (UUID) and iOS (NSUUID) they are built in, in JS you can use something like this: Create GUID / UUID in JavaScript?), then append the file extension if you want to preserve it (split the file.name on '.' and get the last segment)
We didn't know which version of unique files developers would want (see below), since there are many, many use cases for this, so we decided to leave the choice up to developers.
images/uuid/image.png // option 1: clean name, under a UUID "folder"
image/uuid.png // option 2: unique name, same extension
images/uuid // option 3: no extension
It seems to me like this would be a reasonable thing to explain in our documentation though, so I'll file a bug internally to document it :)
This is the solution for people using dart
Generate the current date and time stamp using:-
var time = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch.toString();
Now upload the file to the firebase storage using:-
await FirebaseStorage.instance.ref('images/$time.png').putFile(yourfile);
You can even get the downloadable url using:-
var url = await FirebaseStorage.instance.ref('images/$time.png').getDownloadURL();
First install uuid - npm i uuid
Then define the file reference like this
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from "uuid";
const fileRef = storageRef.child(
`${uuidv4()}-${Put your file or image name here}`
);
After that, upload with the file with the fileRef
fileRef.put(Your file)
In Android (Kotlin) I solved by combining the user UID with the milliseconds since 1970:
val ref = storage.reference.child("images/${auth.currentUser!!.uid}-${System.currentTimeMillis()}")
code below is combination of file structure in answer from #Mike McDonald , current date time stamp in answer from # Aman Kumar Singh , user uid in answer from #Damien : i think it provides unique id, while making the firebase storage screen more readable.
Reference ref = firebaseStorage
.ref()
.child('videos')
.child(authController.user.uid)
.child(DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch.toString());
I have a report which displays some information in a report and I have link in the report to export to CSV. To download the csv file what we are doing is ,
public class ReportServlet extends XYXServlet{
public void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws Exception {
...................
...................
res.setContentType("text/csv");
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""+reportName+"\"");
OutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
// Render the report
ReportRender.renderReport(report,results,out,rtParam);
out.close();
}
}
This report is for one patient. Now I have the requirement where I have to download report for all the patient in the system. We have more than 5000 patients. It is a one time download. SO basically I should have one CSV file per patient .eg filename will be xyzreport-patientId. We are using velocity template . Basically ReportRender will take the report result and merge with the template using velocity template. like
VelocityContext c = new VelocityContext(params);
Writer w = new OutputStreamWriter(out);
template.merge(c,w);
w.flush();
So now my problem is how do I download all report for all patients at one time. Can I use one request/response to download reports for all patients?
You can use zip file creation.
Best Practices to Create and Download a huge ZIP (from several BLOBs) in a WebApp
In above example they have BLOBs to download. In your case you need to write CSV files on zipped stream. If you will process all at a time and then sending them will cause memory issue. You need to do it loop; writing on stream as soon as you read it. This will increase efficiency of output as well as will avoid memory issues.
Above question has also answer along with implementation which is submitted by one who asked question. It is tried and tested. :)
I want to Export a table from my database to an excel file on the server and then download it. The following is the code that I developed for this purpose:
import flash.net.FileReference;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public function sqlDownloadExcel():void {
var http:HTTPService = new HTTPService;
var parm:Object = new Object;
var sql:String;
sql = "insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0;Database=C:\\inetpub\wwwroot\\myApp\\App_Data\\myExport.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]') SELECT * FROM myTable";
parm.sql = sql;
parm.db = "myDatabase";
http.url = "http://mywebsite.com/SQLconnector/sqlconnector.asp?irand="+Math.random();
http.showBusyCursor = true;
http.request = sql;
http.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, function(e:ResultEvent):void {sqlDownloadExcelResult(e);});
http.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, mssqlFault);
http.method = "POST";
sqlToken = http.send(parm);
}
public function sqlDownloadExcelResult(event:ResultEvent):void{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mywebsite/myApp/App_Data/myExport.xls");
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.download(request);
}
The code creates the Excel file on the server correctly, but running the fileRef.download(request) functions causes the following error:
Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you
You can't do what you want. Security restrictions prevent your app from trying to download anything to the clieht machine without user input. That is why you're seeing the error.
I recommend creating the excel sheet on the server, saving it to the server, and then sending a URL back to your Flex app. Use navigateToURL() to open it; and the browser should handle it based on the client's browsers settings. It may download automatically; or open automatically; or it may prompt the user what it wants to do.
If necessary, you can create a server side script to routinely clean out the generated files.
Based on the code you provided, it looks like you are 90% of the way there. Just instead of using FileReference to try to download the file, use navigateToURL() to open that URLRequest.
Alternatively, you could modify your UI to say "You're file is ready, click here to get it" or something similar. Then you have user interaction and can open the download window after the user clicks the button.
