Re: Import Excel file

Like I said, Vern, it's a bear

1. Download the file to .xlsx using ACS data transfer
2. Click boxes etc. in ACS GUI to make it save the .dtfx *(dtfx
apparently means Data Transfer From IBM i)*
3. In the .dtfx file that ACS GUI automatically generates and saves for
you,
1. fill in the FDFFile= key will a fully qualified file path on your
local box
2. add the key SaveFDF=1
4. Run the download again. This time it will save the .fdfx file which
describes the DDS of the file you transferred.
5. Now run an upload using ACS GUI.
1. It will want the path to the .fdfx file that describes the DDS
6. Click boxes etc. in ACS GUI to make it save the .dttx *(dttx
apparently means Data Transfer To IBM i)*
1. The saved .dttx file will reference the .fdfx file
7. Now you *finally* have everything you need to do automated
transfers.
8. *java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar
/opt/ibm/iAccessClientSolutions/acsbundle.jar '/PLUGIN=UPLOAD'
'/USERID=myUser' myfile.dttx*
9. You may experience some iACS fu /w/r/t first login to the system ...
after that daemon process is started that remembers you validated once it
's all good,

Hi Bryan

I took another look at the upload transfer option - it seems you can
transfer data from an XLS or XLSX file with it - you have to create a
DTTX file that has the info needed, like XLSX file name and all. Those
are just text files, so it might be possible to generate them on the fly.

I've not done this, just gleaned what I could from the interface you get
in ACS emulator actions - Data transfer to IBM i.

Hi Bryan

I know there is a way to create an XLSX file from a table or SELECT
statement using ACS (/plugin=CLDOWNLOAD or the like) - I did not know
there is anything for the reverse, I don't see it in the Getting
Started documentation. I'd love to hear there is something there.

Cheers
Vern

If you have ACS “installed” in the IFS there may be the opportunity
to use the batch upload process.

I’ve not tried running batch upload from the IFS, but it seems it
should be possible.

Hello sages

I need to adapt a process that imports (CPYFRMIMPF) a tab delimited
file
So that it imports an Excel file.

Is there an equivalent CPYFRMEXLF ? (-:
Or perhaps a method to programmatically convert excel into a Tab
delimited
/ | delimited file ?

TIA
Gad
