Applies to:
Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition - Version 11.1.1.9.5 and laterInformation in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
On OBIEE Version 11.1.1.9.5 and Higher,
CSV separator is changed from default comma to anything, only values with comma are enclosed in double quotes .
Due to this random double quotes, exported CSV files can not be used in other applications to load.
Consider a scenario as below:
1. Set column delimiter for csv export from comma(,) to semicolon(;) by putting the following
entry in instanceconfig.xm file
The core problem is not the double quotes, but the alternation. Some rows have double quotes and others have no double quotes (year 2011).
It is important, that either all rows have double quotes, or no rows have double quotes!
