ASCII format while loading flat files.

Hi,
Please tell me, if i want to load a flat file of
ASCII format instead of CSV, what shoud be the format of
the ASCII file is it text document or something else?
please send me a sample file.
and what will be the values for this? and are these mandatory?
1) Separator for Thousands
2) Character Used for Decimal Point
3) Currency conversion for External systems

Hi Gopi,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I have one more doubt.
well i was trying with a sample flat file which contains
two infoobjects--
1. empid(key figure) 2.empname(characteristic)
i created infosource cube everything is fine and when i try to create a infopackage---i mention file name of ACII
keeping this option. ASCII file which is in a text format
and i am seperating the data jus by a place.
when i do preview, instead of getting 2 columns with diff values , i am geting both column values in a single column.
what should i do for this?
how to get values in separate columns?
Thanks,
Vijaya.

RSMO
Could you please let me know how to correct.

Hi,
For date column you should maintain YYYYMMDD formate Eg: 20090601, kepp cursor on date column and right click and Formate >Custome>make it 00000000 then save teh file as .CSV . First type values on column and do like this formate and save it and without opening it load it. Once you open it you losw 00000000 formate you need to give again the same formate.
Settings in Infopackage:
Data Format = CSV
Data Separator = ,
Escape Sign = ;

Risk factors while loading flat files

HI,
CAn anybody tell me what are risk factors while loading
flat files....
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Rags

Risks:
1) If flat-file is created manually
   - users may forget columns, specifically UNIT and
     CURRENCY.
   - Keyfigures my be presented in thousands one time
     and in single dollars the other time.
   - Flat-file may be delivered too late.
   - Automatic scheduling is difficult if flat-file
     comes from client station. You even can't do it
     with a process chain.
   - Naming conventions (capitals, leading zeroes,
     trailing spaces, special characters)
   - Master data conversion
2) If flat-file is created automatically (from legacy
   system):
   - Data may arrive too late
   - Data file (if loaded from server) requires a
     connection to the external disk - security risk.
   - (Master) Data conversion
Note: In the past I had trouble with uploading flat-files from a network-drive. It sometimes happened that the flatfile was only partly imported and that no errors where reported. When loading data from my local C-drive I never had this problem.
My advise is to upload a flat-file into an ODS before using the data further in BW. In the ODS you can add a date to mark the loading data. If the loading to an ODS is ok then there is a much bigger change that you will not get problems further in the data-stream. Make sure that the key-user validates the data in the ODS before using it any further. It pays off to create one or two special queries on this ODS to enable testing of the data.

Error while loading flat file into DSO

Hi
I am loading data from a flat file into a DSO. My fields in the flat file are Trans_Dt, (CHAR) Particulars (CHAR), Card_Name, (CHAR) Exps_Type, (CHAR)
Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt, (CURR)
0Currency (CHAR)
In the proposal tab apart from the above mentioned fields 3 additional fields viz, field 10, field 11, and field 12 have come. How did these 3 additional fields come when I don't have any additional fields in my flat file? I've deleted these extra 3 fields though.
When I activate the DataSource it is getting activated but then I get the message 'Data structures were changed. Start transactions before hand'. What does this message mean?
When I hit the 'Read preview data' button it doesn't show me any data and gives me the error Missing reference to currency field / unit field for the fields Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt
How do I create a reference field to the above mentioned fields?
Earlier I didn't have the 0Currency field in the flat file. But in my DSO while creating the key figures by default the 0Currency field also got created which is quite obvious. Now while activating the transformations I was getting a message that 'No source field for the field 0Currency'. Hence I had to create a new field in my flat file called 0Currency and load it with USD in all rows.
Please help me in loading this flat file into the DSO.
Thank you.

Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for your answers. with your help I could see the data in the 'Read preview data' and schedule the load. I did use all the Info objects in the info objects column of the data source to load the flat file.
The data is in PSA successfully without any issues. but when I executed the DTP it failed with errors.
Earlier there was no mapping from Currency field in source to the all the key figure fields in the target in the transformation. The mapping was only from Currency to 0CURRENCY but still the transformation got activated. As per your advise I mapped Currency field to the remaining Key Figure fields but then I am getting the error
'Source parameter CURRENCY is not being used'
Why is that so?
list of Errors after executing the DTP:
1. 'Record filtered because records with the same key contain errors'
Message:
Diagnosis: The data record was filtered out becoz data records with the same key have already been filtered out in the current step for other reasons and the current update is non-commutative (for example, MOVE). This means that data records cannot be exchanged on the basis of the semantic key.
System Response: The data record is filtered out; further processing is performed in accordance with the settings chosen for error handling.
Procedure: Check these data records and data records with the same key for errors and then update them.
Procedure for System administration
Can you please explain this error and how should I fix this error.
2. Exception input_not_numeric; see long text - ID RSTRAN
Diagnosis: An exception input_not_numeric was raised while executing function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ.
System Response
Processing the corresponding record has been terminated.
Procedure
To analyse the cause, set a break point in the program of the transformation at the call point of function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ. Simulate the data transfer process to investigate the cause.
Procedure for System Administration
What does this error mean? How do I set a breakpoint in the program to fix this error inorder to load the data?
What does Procedure for System Administration mean?
Please advise.

Runtime Error while loading Flat file in to ODS

Hi Friends,
I have 11 records in flatfile and I am loading it from PC. when I see in preview I can see.
But when I load it ,it gives me short dump. request status is in amber..
Please help me as this is urgent support issue.
The ABAP Runtime Error is
Runtime Error          CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TYPE
Except.                CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE
Date and Time          02.01.2008 13:55:38
What happened?
    Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "GP44UKXZB8WE74CAKI38CZ0B586" had to be terminated
     because one of the
    statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
A function module was called incorrectly.
What can you do?
    Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
    and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
    error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
    You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
     termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
    date.
is especially useful if you want to keep a particular message.

Hi Sudhakar,
This seems to be a type conflict error. It occurs when you assign for example a char field to a numc field. So, I suggest you check your mappings and see if there is any type mismatch in the info objects. Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

Different formats of the flat file for the same target

In our deployment, we use plugin code to extract the csv files in the required format. The customers are on same version of datamart, but they are on different versions of source database - from 3.x to 4.5 depending on which version of application they are using. In 4.0, we introduced a new column email in the user table in the source database. Accordingly, plugin will add the field in the csv file. But not all the customers will get the upgraded version of plugin at the same time. So ETL code needs to decide which data flow to process depending on the format of the csv file to load data to the same target table. I made the email field in the target table nullable but it still expects the same format of the csv file with delimiter for null value.
Need help to achieve this. Can I read the structure of the flat file in DS or get the count of delimiters so that I can use a conditional to use different data flow based on the format of the flat files.
Can I make the email column in the flat file optional?
Thanks much in advance.

You can add an email column that maps to null in a query transform for the source that does not contain this column.
Or else you can define two different file formats that map to the same file. One with the column and one without

How to load flat file in BPS through Web-debugging

Hi,
We are working on flat file upload in BPS thru guide 'How to load flat file in BPS through Web'. Can some one guide on how to debug the function modules used while uploading the data.
We have set up the break point in the function modules and also in the BSP page. But when trying to debug while uploading, it is not going to the break point which was set.
Could you assist in setting up the break point.
Regards,

Hi,
I have put an external break-point.
I have hard coded it in the coding of the function module itself.
The code is perfectly working. But, when I want to check for the values of the variables in the F.M during runtime, the break-point is not triggering. Any ideas??

Hi
This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Error while loading WSDL File in Eclipse

Hi Experts
We are getting the following Error while Loading WSDL File in Eclipse.
IWAB0399E Error in generating Java from WSDL: WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Encountered unexpected element 'Policy'.:
Please advice how to resolve it.
Regards
Prashant

It seems that your WSDL is not well defined, you need to test your wsdl via WS-I compliance in order to check if the wsdl is well created, you can do this via soapui, just create a new project, import the wsdl file or set the URL, left click in the project and select check WS-I compliance, this tool will test your wsdl and gives you a detailed report of what might be the problem.

Issue in calling webdynpro for loading flat file in IP

Hello,
We have implemented the How-To load flat files in IP paper and we are facing an issue in that. The generated webdynpro runs on ABAP Application server but we need to call this from a Web template which runs on portal server.
These two servers are different and we don't want to hardcode the url in webtemplate as the server names will change in Q & P for webdynpro. Can anyone advise how we can read the ABAP Application server details in WAD may be using javascript and then generate the URL for webdynpro dynamically.
Regards,
Deepti

Hi Deepti,
We have also facing the same challenge. Could you please post the solution in which URL path change dynamically.
I have created the ABAP function module based on the below link.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/BICustomWebItemtoLaunchanABAPWeb+Dynpro
But not sure how to call the function module using custom web item & java script. Coould you please explain the steps on the same ?
Thanks,
Gopi R

Exception occurred while loading _WL_TIMESTAMP FILE

Hi all,
I have an application packaged in a EAR file, but when I deploy through the Weblogic Server Administration console, i get a strange error:
<Error> <EJB> <BEA-010003> <Exception occurred while loading WLTIMESTAMP FILE.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/bea/domains/bpm/servers/BPMServer/cache/EJBCompilerCache/1bscgreimm37w/_WL_GENERATED (Too many open files)

java.lang.NullPointerException
at weblogic.utils.FileUtils.remove(FileUtils.java:274)
Searching over the Oracle/BEA documentation i found this :
BEA-010003 Error: Exception occurred while loading WLTIMESTAMP FILE.
Description Exception occurred while loading WLTIMESTAMP FILE. Forcing recompilation: ioException
Cause The container generates WLGENERATED file, which stores the server version of the appc compiler. if the current server version is different from the version specified in WLGENERATED file, appc recompiles the beans. There was an error reading this file.
Action The container will automatically recompile the beans.
But if the container compiles the beans again, why in the deployments view, it doesn't work, and the application is never at Active state?
Any help is appreciated!
Thiago

Looking at your stack trace, I don't believe the issue is directly related to the WLTIMESTAMP file but rather it looks like you have hit the limit on the number of open file descriptors for your process (note that the stack trace says "Too many open files" immediately after reporting what file it failed to open). Looks like you either have an FD leak or your OS/shell limit on the number of open file descriptors allowed per process may be set too low for what you are trying to accomplish.

Error handling when loading flate files

Hi
We have a Process Chain loading flate files from a server into a ODS. We want to create a routine to avoid errors in the ODS when no files is found.
The error we want to handle is
Error 1 when loading external data
Message no. RSAR234
We want to handle this error message as OK to avoid red request in the ODS
Please help
Kind regards
Ola Einar Langen

Hi, and thanks for your hints.
We ended up with the following codes. It's will mark the prosess chain red (but this is as wanted) but we have implemented that the prosess chain will proceed even with error in the loading process
The code for the routine implemented in the infopackage in "External data" tab.
p_filename = 'filename.txt.
OPEN DATASET p_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
If file could not be open
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
p_subrc = SY-SUBRC.
delete the current request
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_DELETE_REQUEST'.
ENDIF.
close the file if OK
CLOSE DATASET p_filename.
p_subrc = 0.
The solution is no OK for us
Kind regards
