How to extract data from text file to database table

Hi ,
I am trying to upload data in text file to database table using GUI_UPLOAD function .what would be the program for that.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think you have a standard sap program to upload data from file to database table...
Instead you can create a custom program like this..
DATA: T_FILEDATA(1000) OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: T_ZTABLE LIKE ZTABLE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename                      = 'C:\TEST.TXT'
tables
    data_tab                      = T_FILEDATA
EXCEPTIONS
   FILE_OPEN_ERROR               = 1
   FILE_READ_ERROR               = 2
   NO_BATCH                      = 3
   GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER       = 4
   INVALID_TYPE                  = 5
   NO_AUTHORITY                  = 6
   UNKNOWN_ERROR                 = 7
   BAD_DATA_FORMAT               = 8
   HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED            = 9
   SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED         = 10
   HEADER_TOO_LONG               = 11
   UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR              = 12
   ACCESS_DENIED                 = 13
   DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY              = 14
   DISK_FULL                     = 15
   DP_TIMEOUT                    = 16
   OTHERS                        = 17
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT T_FILEDATA.
T_ZTABLE = T_FILEDATA.
APPEND T_ZTABLE.
ENDLOOP.
MODIFY ZTABLE FROM TABLE T_ZTABLE.
COMMIT WORK..

Read data from text file one by one using for loop

Dear Forum
I want to read data of single colum of text file inside the for loop one by one(for each iteration value must be replaced by another value of text file).This value is used by a formula inside for loop. also after completion of iterations the values must be plotted on xy graph. How to do it.? please help me.
profravi

It's not very efficient to read a file line by line. Much simpler to read it all at once and then auto-index the results inside a for loop. The image below shows a generic solution to your problem. This assumes that the data in the file is in a single column.
I would also recomend checking ou the learning LabVIEW resources here.
I would aslos suggest that since this type of question is not specific to either NI-Elvis or the LabVIEW SE, you should post similar questions to the LabVIEW board. If you have problems, attaching a sample of the text file would help.

How to transfer data from excel files into z-tables

Please help me with a code which transfers data from excel file to z-table.
Thanks in advance
Shuvir

Hi Daniel,
Export Data
Purpose
Use this procedure to export SAP data to a local file such as Microsoft Excel.
Menu Path
Use the following menu path to begin this process:
·         SystemèListèSaveèLocal File
Helpful Hints
When reviewing fields, R = Required, O = Optional and C = Conditional.
Procedure
1.       Start the transaction using the menu path or transaction code.
      Whatever Data You Want to Export
2.       Select SystemèListèSaveèLocal File. This works well for any data in SAP. This is the only option for the top-level (first page) of a report.
In a drill-down view within a report the Local File button on the toolbar may be used and has the same options.
      Choose File Format
3.       Click .
4.       Click to continue. If prompted for a format after choosing Spreadsheet, select Excel Table to get an Excel file that can be modified more easily.
      Choose File Save Location Step 1
5.       Click to the right of the Directory field to choose a different location.
      Choose File Save Location Step 2
6.       Click or browse your computer to locate the directory where you want to save your file.
7.       Complete the following field:
·         File name:
    You must add the proper file extension to the name of your file (.xls for Excel, .rtf for Rich Text, .html for HTML). The file extension tells your computer what program to open the file with. If you do not have the file extension at the end, you may not be able to open it.
8.       Click to continue.
      Generate File in Location and Format Selected
9.       Click to create the file in the location and format selected. In this example the file was named "example.xls" and saved on the desktop.
Result
You have completed the export process.
thanks

Failed to read data from report file Reason: The table could not be found.

Connection used Views, ODBC System DSN is setup properly.
Approach for import from business view manager and import wizard. both methods failed to import the Business View and underlying reports.
I figure I may have imported the Business View wrong? From Business View Manager I exported from my dev server then imported to prod server.
Apparently I learned exporting my business view also includes the Data Connections that the Business Views are dependent upon.
So which ever folder you specify it copies it there. Originally the all Data Connections Resides on the root folder. To return it to the original location. I deleted what I had exported. Exported this time to the root folder, then only deleted the business views, foundation, elements. Then exported again to the folder where I intended then only deleted the Data Connection.
Makes any sense? So I then had to re point the business views and all the dependent objects to the data connection that resides in the root folder.
I tested the connection, it works fine. I properly updated my crystal reports to the business view in production. Did a sample extract it works as expected.
However when i try to publish, either from Crystal or Publish wizard i get the same error?
As a work around i am thinking, after updating the business view in the crystal reports, shall i re map the fields?? or reexport the business views again?
Any help will be surely appreciated.

Cant get data from text file to print into Jtable

Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.
void dbTest() {
DataInputStream dis = null;
String dbRecord = null;
String hold;
try {
File f = new File("customer.txt");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
Vector dataVector = new Vector();
Vector headVector = new Vector(2);
Vector row = new Vector();
// read the record of the text database
while ( (dbRecord = dis.readLine()) != null) {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(dbRecord, ",");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
row.addElement(st.nextToken());
System.out.println("Inside nested loop: " + row);
System.out.println("inside loop: " + row);
dataVector.addElement(row);
System.out.println("outside loop: " + row);
headVector.addElement("Title");
headVector.addElement("Type");
dataTable = new JTable(dataVector, headVector);
dataTableScrollPane.setViewportView(dataTable);
} catch (IOException e) {
// catch io errors from FileInputStream or readLine()
System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!" + e.getMessage());
} finally {
// if the file opened okay, make sure we close it
if (dis != null) {
try {
dis.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
} // end if
} // end finally
} // end dbTest

the command is
sqlldrType it and see if you have it installed.
Have a look also at the FAQ link posted by Marwin.
There are plenty of examples also on the web.

Loading data from multiple files to multiple tables

How should I approach on creating SSIS package to load data from multiple files to multiple tables. Also, Files will have data which might overlap so I might have to create stored procedure for it. Ex. 1st day file -data from au.1 - aug 10 and 2nd day
file might have data from aug.5 to aug 15. So I might have to look for max and min date and truncate table with in that date range.

thats ok. ForEachLoop would be able to iterate through the files. You can declare a variable inside loop to capture the filenames. Choose fully qualified as the option in loop
Then inside loop
1. Add execute sql task to delete overlapping data from the table. One question here is where will you get date from? Does it come inside filename?
2. Add a data flow task with file source pointing to file .For this add a suitable connection manager (Excel/Flat file etc) and map the connection string property to filename variable using expressions
3. Add a OLEDB Destination to point to table. You can use table or view from variable - fast load option and map to variable to make tablename dynamic and just set corresponding value for the variable to get correct tablename
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Regards

Hi,
I believe that the problem you are having is that you have a delimited file, of which you want to pick columns from position 2,3,5. In this case, ODI will pick the first 3 columns of a delimited file regardless of position.
For example, if you a tab delimited file with c1,c2,c3,c4,c5 columns, and you want only columns c2,c3,c5 - when mapping these in an ODI interface, and executing, you will actually pick up the data from c1,c2,c3 as these are the first three columns in the file (reading from left to right). You can ignore "columns" on the right hand side of a file, but not the left. E.g delimited file with c1,c2,c3,c4,c5. Only pick columns c1,c2 will give you data for the first 2 columns
Create a temporary table to load all the data from the file, and use you temp table to extract the data you require. Or you could get the file created with the first three columns as the columns you require.
Cheers
Bos

How to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Develope

hi
i backup my database using PL/SQL developer and made *.dmp file
how to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
and how to make *.dmp file from sql*plus ?
thanks in advance

Pl/Sql developer has a config window, there you choose the exec to do the import/export.
Find it and his home version, it may be exp or expdp, the home version is the version of the client where the exp executable is.
Then use the same version of imp or impdp to execute the import, you do not need to use Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. If you want to use it, you must have the same version in the oracle home that exp/imp of sql developer use.
