Issue
All custom reports made from the RSA ACE/Server are currently created using a '|' (pipe), the Table delimiter. It is possible to reconfigure a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel to use this character when importing tables (with Excel you need only rename the file to have a .XLS extension). However, most spreadsheets and other applications, including TFS Technology's Keon Security Server, are able to import from a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. These will have a .CSV file extension and use the ',' (comma) as the delimiter.
Resolution
Find the lines:
IF rpt-format = 2 THEN DO:
dir-name = dir-name + "/" + "mytest" + ".xls".
OUTPUT TO VALUE(dir-name).
PUT "LocalDate| LocalTOD| ShortMessage| UserName| Login| AffectedUserName| TokenSerialNum| ClientName| GroupName| SiteName| GMTDate| GMTOD" SKIP.
and change the ".xls" to ".csv", to look like this:
IF rpt-format = 2 THEN DO:
dir-name = dir-name + "/" + "mytest" + ".csv".
OUTPUT TO VALUE(dir-name).
PUT "LocalDate, LocalTOD, ShortMessage, UserName, Login, AffectedUserName, TokenSerialNum, ClientName, GroupName, SiteName, GMTDate, GMTOD" SKIP.
Save the file. Open logpipe.i with an editor, and replace all instances of "|" (pipe) with ","(comma).
Run the report again. This will create the required .CSV file. This procedure only works with custom reports.
