External table: How to load data from a fixed format UTF8 external file
Hi Experts,
I am trying to read data from a fixed format UTF8 external file in to a external table. The file has non-ascii characters, and the presence of the non-ascii characters causes the data to be positioned incorrectly in the external table.
The following is the content's of the file:
20100423094529000000I1 ABÄCDE 1 000004
20100423094529000000I2 OMS Crew 2 2 000004
20100423094529000000I3 OMS Crew 3 3 000004
20100423094529000000I4 OMS Crew 4 4 000004
20100423094529000000I5 OMS Crew 5 5 000004
20100423094529000000I6 OMS Crew 6 6 000004
20100423094529000000I7 Mobile Crew 7 7 000004
20100423094529000000I8 Mobile Crew 8 8 000004
The structure of the data is as follows:
Name Type Start End Length
UPDATE_DTTM CHAR 1 20 20
CHANGE_TYPE_CD CHAR 21 21 1
CREW_CD CHAR 22 37 16
CREW_DESCR CHAR 38 97 60
CREW_ID CHAR 98 113 16
UDF1_CD CHAR 114 143 30
UDF1_DESCR CHAR 144 203 60
UDF2_CD CHAR 204 233 30
DATA_SOURCE_IND CHAR 294 299 6
UDF2_DESCR CHAR 234 293 60
I create the external table as follows:
CREATE TABLE "D_CREW_EXT"
"UPDATE_DTTM" CHAR(20 BYTE),
"CHANGE_TYPE_CD" CHAR(1 BYTE),
"CREW_CD" CHAR(16 BYTE),
"CREW_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE),
"CREW_ID" CHAR(16 BYTE),
"UDF1_CD" CHAR(30 BYTE),
"UDF1_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE),
"UDF2_CD" CHAR(30 BYTE),
"DATA_SOURCE_IND" CHAR(6 BYTE),
"UDF2_DESCR" CHAR(60 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT DIRECTORY "TMP"
ACCESS PARAMETERS ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
CHARACTERSET UTF8
STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES
NOBADFILE NODISCARDFILE NOLOGFILE FIELDS NOTRIM
( "UPDATE_DTTM" POSITION (1:20) CHAR(20),
"CHANGE_TYPE_CD" POSITION (21:21) CHAR(1),
"CREW_CD" POSITION (22:37) CHAR(16),
"CREW_DESCR" POSITION (38:97) CHAR(60),
"CREW_ID" POSITION (98:113) CHAR(16),
"UDF1_CD" POSITION (114:143) CHAR(30),
"UDF1_DESCR" POSITION (144:203) CHAR(60),
"UDF2_CD" POSITION (204:233) CHAR(30),
"DATA_SOURCE_IND" POSITION (294:299) CHAR(6),
"UDF2_DESCR" POSITION (234:293) CHAR(60) )
) LOCATION ( 'D_CREW_EXT.DAT' )
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
Check the result in database:
select * from D_CREW_EXT;
I found the first row is incorrect. For each non-ascii character,the fields to the right of the non-ascii character are off by 1 character,meaning that the data is moved 1 character to the right.
Then I tried to use the option STRING SIZES ARE IN CHARACTERS instead of STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES, it doesn't work either.
The database version is 11.1.0.6.

Hi,
I changed the BYTE in the create table part to CHAR, it still doesn't work. The result is the same. I think the problem is in ACCESS PARAMETERS.
Any other suggestion?

How can I unload data to ASCII fixed-format or delimited files,
Hello,
SQL*Loader loads data from ASCII fixed-format or delimited files. Is there such utility to unload data from Oracle database ?
AgnieszkaNo. The Export utility will dump data out but not into an ascii file.
Do you need the whole database or just some table or result of a query set?
Check out the ULT_FILE package - this will allow you to write some SQL code which will do the job you want.

How to load data from a ODS to CUBE Request ID - by - Request ID?
<i>How to load data from a ODS to CUBE Request ID - by - Request ID?</i>
The problem is that... some requests had been eliminated of the cube and the delta control between the ODS and CUBE was lost. The flag "<b>data mart status of request</b>" of all the requests of the ODS had been blank.
Now it is necessary to load some requests from the ODS for the cube.
Notes:
- it is not possible to make a complete load selecting the data to be loaded;
- the PSA is not being used;
- considering the data volume it is impracticable to reload the cube completely.
Thanks in advance,
Wesley.Dear R B,
Considering the following:
-> the delta control was lost;
-> the data already are active in the ODS;
-> part of the data of the ODS already is in the cube.
The indicated procedure it only guarantees the load of the data that are in the ODS and that are not in the cube.
Tks,
Wesley. -
How to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server
HI All,
how to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server..Hi,
Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
Thanks & Regards,

I need how to load data from MS Excel(csv format) to NW Excel
Hi,
I am doing Migration project from SAP MS to NW Manually.
I need how to load data from MS excel (csv format) to NW excel .
For example 2008 budget data.
Could you please help me in this.
Thanks and Regards
KrishnaHi,
You need to create a transformation file and a conversion file if required. First upload the excel (csv) file into BPC using Manage Data and Upload File option.
Create the transformation file (refer to the sap help on how to define a transformation file). You need to specify the mapping correctly and include all your application dimensions and map them to appropriate columns of the flat file.
Before running the import package, do validate the data in the flat file you uploaded into BPC with the transformation file you created.
Thanks,

How to load data from Quikbooks into PeopleSoft General Ledger module ?
Folks,
Hello.
My client's data is currently stored in Quikbooks.
After install PeopleSoft FSCM 9.0, I need to load the data from Quickbooks into PeopleSoft General Ledger module. But I don't know how to use PeopleSoft Integration Broker to integrate with Quikbooks.
Can any folks tell me how to load data from Quikbooks into PeopleSoft General Ledger module ?Hi,
If the data load is one time process, then you can use PL/SQL or datamover to load the data to PeopleSoft application.
If you want to load the data in real time, then you need to create In-bound and out-bound nodes to perform the transaction.
Thanks

How to load data from oracle table to XML using ODI ?
Hello Team
I am trying to load data from an oracle table to an xml file. I have configured the physical and the logical schemas for the same. I have used SQL to SQL as LKM and SQL to SQL Append as IKM with Sunopsis Memory Engine as staging area.
After this, when I am executing the interface, it is executed without any errors but to my surprise I am not finding the relevant data in the xml file. What could be the reason ?
Please look into this and lemme know how to solve it.

How to load data from a virtual cube with services
Hello all,
we have set up a virtual cube with service and create a BEx report to get the data from an external database. That works fine. The question is now:
Is it some how possible to "load" the data from this virtual cube with service (I know that there are not really data...) into an other InfoCube?
If that is possible, can you please give my some guidance how to set up this scenario.
Thanks in advance
JürgenHi:
I don't have system before me, so try this.
I know it works for Remote Cube.
Right Click on the Cube and Select Generate Export Data Source.
If you can do this successfully, then go to Source Systems tab and select the BW. Here, Right CLick on select Replicate DataSources.
Next, go to InfoSOurces, click on Refresh. Copy the name of Virtual Cube and add 8 as a prefix and search for the infosource.
If you can see it, that means, you can load data from this cube to anywhere you want, just like you do to ODS.
ELSE.
Try and see if you can create an InfoSpoke in Virtual Cube. Tran - RSBO.
Here, you can load to a database table and then, from this table, you can create datasource, etc.
ELSE.
Create query and save it as CSV file and load it anywhere you want. This is more difficult.
Good luck

could anyone please advice me on above error.
thanx.First of all, is file located on (or is accessible from) database server? If not - you can't load it neither with UTL_FILE nor with external table. You need to use client side tool like SQL*Loader or write your own client side load. If file is accessible from database server, then, as sb92075 noted, external table (assuming you are not on some ancient Oracle version) is the way to go.

How to load data from PSA to CUBE & DSO at a time using DTP in BI 7 ?
HI all,
I am new to BI 7 . How to load the data at same time to DSO & INFO CUBE using DTP.
Please provide me steps to load & plz specify which update mode I have to use ( FULL OR DELTA ) which one is best.
Plz Suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,

Message was edited by:
kiran manyamBelow are the basic steps which we follow in any BI 2004S system:
1)Create datasource. Here u can set/check the Soucre System fields.
2)Create Transformation for that datasource. (no more update rules/transfer rules)
2.1) While creating transformation for DS it will ask you for data target name, so just assign where u want to update ur data.
DataSource -> Transformation -> Data Target
Now if you want to load data into data target from Source System Datasource:
1) Create infopackage for that data source. If you are creating infopackage for new datasources, it will only allow you update upto PSA, all other options u can see as disabled.
2)Now Create DTP (Data Transfer Process) for that data source.
3) NOw schdule the Infopackage, once the data is loaded to PSA, you can execute your DTP which will load data to data target.
If you are loading data from one one data target to other, no need to use PSA, you can directly execute DTP in that case.
Data Source -> Transformation (IP/DTP) -> Data Target1 -> DTP ->Data Target 2
Use the below link for detailed example:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/fc61e12d-0a01-0010-2883-e2fc63ef729b
Infosources are no more mandatory with BI 7.0, below is the link to scenarios where we use infosources:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/44/0243dd8ae1603ae10000000a1553f6/content.htm
