To analyze failure data, I want to export the notification longtext to a different program like Excel or Access. Can anyone provide guidance on how to do this effectively? Thank you, Rogier.
When using our Maximo/Brio integration, I frequently retrieve data from the LDTEXT field linked to Failure Notes. This requires joining the FAILURENOTES and LDTEXT tables in Brio, which ultimately connect back to the work order table. For easier readability, I usually keep the short text and long text in separate columns when exporting to Excel, although they could be combined. This method makes it clearer which cell the data originated from. In most cases, the short text simply indicates to "refer to long text," which wouldn't display correctly if concatenated. Additionally, this approach aids in identifying the source of the data.
Hey Wally, thank you for getting back to me. I'm searching for a specific feature in SAP, but I'm having trouble locating it due to the unique database setup. Hopefully, some SAP experts can help me find a solution. Regards, Rogier.
To download notifications, kindly choose the long text field option.
Hey Josh, I appreciate your help with this. I'm having some trouble finding the specific field I need in this area. Do you typically access it through a listview or by directly downloading from a table? Could you provide details on the transaction, table, and field I should be looking at? Thanks, Rogier.
I apologize, I am currently not available on SAP. You might want to submit a query to your SAP support team in order to obtain the necessary field information.
Hi Rogier, certainly! If you're working with SAP, you might want to use transaction IW28 to filter failure notifications. Here, you can export the list to Excel. However, it does not extract the longtext directly. To achieve that, you could run ABAP report RIQMEL20 and choose Excel as your output format. If you're not familiar with ABAP, you may need assistance from your IT department. Remember, moving sensitive data always requires caution for data protection reasons.
Hi Rogier, it's straightforward once you get the hang of it. To export your failure data to Excel, you first need to select your data range in SAP, then click on the 'export' icon. Choose to export to a spreadsheet, and an Excel format should be an available option. From there, you can manipulate the data as necessary. As for Access, you can import data directly from Excel. Open Access, choose 'External Data' then 'Import from Excel'. This process should help you achieve your goal. Hope this helps!
Hey Rogier, to export your notification longtext to Excel/Access, try utilizing SAP's function module 'READ_TEXT'. Then using a SE16, execute table 'STXL' for your desired data. You can then convert the raw data from table 'STXL' into readable format. Afterwards, you can export it to Excel or Access by simply copy-pasting or using the Export function. Note though - this is a generalized approach and might require tweaks based on your specific requirements.
