Symptom

- How to edit/ remove header when ORD report output file is placed to SFTP via Report Distributor without manual intervention?
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Schedule ORD report to SFTP via Report Distributor
- Open the output file when it is placed to SFTP server.
- Output file will have below lines at the top of the file:
- "Exported to CSV on <Timestamp>"
- Example: "Exported to Excel on Wednesday, December 07, 2016 (Eastern Standard Time -05:00)"
Cause
The header is there so that the customer knows that they have exported the correct version of that report.
For example, it helps distinguish between reports that are scheduled on a weekly basis where the data may be different from week to week.
Resolution
- Currently there is no such functionality available in product which will remove header while exporting ORD report or placing ORD report output file to SFTP via Report Distributor.
- The second row that is blank in the output file is also expected and cannot be removed.
