Export data to flat file with no delimiter

Hi I've 3 columns in a view that i want to export to a flat file. I don't want the flat file to contain any delimiter such as commas , tabs etc..
I am using fixed width with the following setting
Header row delimiter {CR}-{LF}
Advance Options :
InputColumnwith 125
InputColumnwith 187
InputColumnwith 7
When i preview that data it looks correct , divided up into 3 columns
However when the data is exported to the flat file i get just one long string in the flat file on the first row.
What do i need to do to get the end of line characters to be identified
Thanks In advance

Column delimiter is here
Otherwise header row terminates a file line

Data convertion while exporting data into flat files using export wizard in ssis

Hi ,
while exporting data to flat file through export wizard the source table is having NVARCHAR types.
could you please help me on how to do the data convertion while using the export wizard?
Thanks.

Hi Avs sai,
By default, the columns in the destination flat file will be non-Unicode columns, e.g. the data type of the columns will be DT_STR. If you want to keep the original DT_WSTR data type of the input column when outputting to the destination file, you can check
the Unicode option on the “Choose a Destination” page of the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Then, on the “Configure Flat File Destination” page, you can click the Edit Mappings…“ button to check the data types. Please see the screenshot:

Export Report to flat file with spaces

I have a report that is several columns wide. It queries data from our SQL based accounting package to create a flat file with spaces(must be accurate). When we go export the file we don't get all of the columns. Any ideas?

SSIS - Exporting Data into flat files from Oracle Table as batchwise process

Hi All,
Thanks in advance.
I have a Large Table in Oracle Database with some 3 Lakhs record. I need to fetch the 10,000 records for every iteration and export it into the flat file. This process should occur recursively until the table becomes empty.
Hence, For every iteration on flat file to be generated with 10,000 records.
Please help how to proceed further in SSIS.
Thanks
Pyarajan.S

Yes, it always helps if your question doesn't specify the actual requirements...
Use the FOR loop container to control the iterations of the data flow. For each run you read 10,000 rows from the table and dump them in a flat file. Either move the flat file, or use an expression on the flat file connection manager to give them dynamic
file names.
30 million rows is also not a problem by the way, it just takes a bit longer.

Multiple flat files with Comma delimiter and Pipe Delimiter in the sub folders.

Hi,
I have a directory C:\doc\Outcomes\Health --(This is the main path).
In the path above i have multiple subfolders like
A
B
C
D
Folder A & B have 20 flat files each which are comma separated and pipe delimiter files.
Folder C&D have 20 excel files each.
1) So, In SSIS while looping through the subfolders how do i limit to loop only excel files one time and flat files one time.
2) In folder A&B, how do i loop only Pipe delimiter files (neglecting comma saperated files). I want to loop only pipe delimiter files while using for each loop container.
Thanks

Both are txt files, but the data inside the files is saperated by ',' and '|'. ( comma and pipe)
Thats ok
If delimiters are not consistent you can use this method

If the database is Oracle you can export the contents of table to a flat file by right clicking on the table instance and selecting "Export Data" menu item and then selecting the export format

Down loading data to flat file with header descritpions

Hi,
am using Function Module "GUI_DOWNLOAD"
am passing internal table which contains all header descriptions to Fieldnames in TABLES.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
 EXPORTING
 filename = g_file
 filetype = 'ASC'
 write_field_separator = 'X'
 header = '00'
 TABLES
 data_tab = g_t_extract_fin
 fieldnames = l_t_header.
My question is the above code is works in all SAP versions or it's works in 4.6C only
Regards
Suresh

Hai,
The Type of Header data may not be same as Data In it.
Therfore use Two GUI_UPLOAD one for header and another for data.
But Second time use the option APPEND to previous dat in tha FM GUI_UPLOAD.

BPC 7.5 will extract data from flat file or directly from cube

Hi,
i have a doubt plz give me a solution.
1) previously our BPC 7.0 team extracted data from BI 7.0 through flat file, but now they have upgraded to BPC 7.5 i want to know whether BPC 7.5 will extract directly from our BW infocube or not.
2) please let me know how data extracted from BPC 7.5.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
If your import file has duplicate record in it then the Status of your DM package for import ends with warning, where all the records in your file might have got accepted but only one last data rows amoung the duplicate rows might have got submitted to the system.
The duplicate records will be rejected and you can see the list of duplicate records as well in the DM package status report.
Like Nilanjan said you can use Append DM Pacakge to submit all duplicate records aswell into the system. But here the problem is it appends the data in flat file with data available in the system.
Say you have 100 for account1 in the system and you run Append DM Package having values duplicate values for account1 say 100 and 200. So after the Append Package execution you will have 100100200= 400 for account1.
So for Append DM package to work in the same way as import, run clear package before executing the Append package.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

How to create the Export Data and Import Data using flat file interface

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

Here's some info on working with plists:

They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

Export to flat file with unicode (chinese) characters??

I have an SSIS (2013) package that needs to send an email notification with query results (via attachment). I have a data flow task with a source sql query that gathers 2 columns - ID and NAME. ID is varchar, NAME is nvarchar (some records have Chinese symbols).
The destination is a .txt file. When I copy/paste a field w/ Chinese symbols to a .txt file, it shows up fine, so i know Notepad can handle the characters. I also have the .txt file set to Unicode encoding (I also tried ANSI originally). When I run the package,
it says that it successfully moves 50 fields to the flat file. However, when I open the flat file, I see that it shows 10 records. It stops when it gets to the record with a Chinese symbol in it...but doesn't produce an error. My plan was to then take the
attachment and use it in a Send Mail task. (i have the smtp/mail notification working fine...just need to figure out how to get the data to all export to the flat file correctly)
Does anyone know how I can get the ID and NAME fields from a query into an email notification (either as an attachment, or even formatted nicely (with tabs) in an email would work).

Hi,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the similar issue in my environment. When we create the Flat File Connection Manager with the default settings, the data in flat file stops when goes to the Chinese characters.
To fix the issue that makes the Chinese characters to actually get written into the flat file, we should check the Unicode checkbox on the right hand side of Locale property in Flat File Connection Manager. In this way, the flat file can display Chinese
characters.

Flat File with unequal spacing as delimiter

I am trying to import multiple flat files with unequal spacing as delimiter in sql server using SSIS 2012, however when I import the file, all the data in the file is imported into only one column. None of the predefined delimiters in SSIS works with the
way the flat file was configured. I read that I can use the script component in SSIS 2012 to create the additional columns and somehow manipulate the file using the spacing to assign a new delimiter, such as a common, but I can't find any resources on it.
Anyone have any experience/knowledge of this situation can provide me with an example or some resources that can help me to solve this situation?
Example of file format:
26 SM FRIES 0 1 0 0.00 0.0
30 PEPSI 0 22 0 0.00 0.0

Looks like a fixed width file to me seeing the data posted
If you can determine the width of the columns then you can use fixed width (or ragged right) option in flat file connection manager and identify the lengths of the individual fields to get values out.
See this example

Insert into Flat File with no data

Hello,
One of my client is encountering a problem in loading data from oracle table to a Flat File.
We are using a IKM SQL to File.
A staging area different from Target and defined on the source Logical Schema.
and options Genreate Header and Insert rows.
The problem is :
At the end of the interface execution, which finish without error we see in the file, the header correctly generated which let me think that there's no permission problem with the file.
But there is no records...
And I don't know why ???
There is the .bad and .error files but they are empty.
The file datastore seems to be well declared with the good delimiters....
We are using the Sunopsis Driver File :
com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.FileDriver
jdbc:snps:file
Cause the file are not accepted with the new one ...
Note that all our interfaces which are reading flat file work fine.
But there's no one writting in which work.
If somebody ever had this problem, or just have an idea about this let me know please.
Cordially,
BM

"Bonjour",
I usually use the snpsoutfile API to unload data into flat file.
It's not the exact solution at your question, but i's a technical solution.

Create XML format file in bulk insert with a data file with out delimiter

Hello
I have a date file with no delimiter like bellow
0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
I just know 5 first number in a line is for example "ID of bank"
or 6th and 7th number in a line is for example "ID of employee"
Could you help me how can I create a XML format file?
thanks alot

This is a fixed file format. We need to know the length of each field before creating the format file. Say you have said the first 5 characters are Bank ID and 6th to 7th as Employee ID ... then the XML should look like,
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="1"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="5"/>
<FIELD ID="2"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="2"/>
<FIELD ID="3" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="8"/>
<FIELD ID="4" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
<FIELD ID="5" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
<FIELD ID="6" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="1"/>
</RECORD>
<ROW>
<COLUMNSOURCE="1"NAME="c1"xsi:type="SQLNCHAR"/>
<COLUMNSOURCE="2"NAME="c2"xsi:type="SQLNCHAR"/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="3" NAME="c3" xsi:type="SQLCHAR"/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="4" NAME="c4" xsi:type="SQLINT"
/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="5" NAME="c5" xsi:type="SQLINT"
/>
</ROW>
</BCPFORMAT>
Note: Similarly you need to specify the other length as well.
