How to create a target flat file in a mapping?

Hi,
I defined a Target location tar_loc (D:\target), a file modul and a file with location tar_loc and file name target_file.
In a mapping I try to use this file as a target.
After validating I get the message: VLD-2357: The name of the target file for target_file is missing.
What to do?
Thanks
Andreas

Hi Andreas
Set the target data file name when you configure the mapping on the file ooperator, see;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/06/some_tips_and_hints_about_xml.html
Also this one is interesting for dynamic file names;

How to create Fixed Length Flat File from Open Hub in BI 7.0

My requirement is to produce a Fixed length Flat file by Open Hub destination. My Open Hub has four fields. Now the requirement is to create another extra field in Open Hub which will contain all of the four fields value. In addition to that the fields should be fixed length that means if for any field no value is there and the field length/type is CHAR4 then 4 spaces should be there as the field value. SO, basically the Open Hub output will be single field which will contain information of four fields.
How to get this using End Routine of Transformation (from DSO to Open Hub) ?

Hi,
You can map the four input fields to the new field in the Open Hub, and change rule type to "Routine".
For example, if your source fields are called "first", "second", "third" and "forth", the ABAP routine could be similar to:
DATA: l_t_1 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_2 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_3 TYPE C LENGTH 4,
      l_t_4 TYPE C LENGTH 4.
IF source_fields-first IS INITIAL.
l_t_1 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-first TO l_t_1.
endif.
IF source_fields-second IS INITIAL.
l_t_2 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-second TO l_t_2.
endif.
IF source_fields-third IS INITIAL.
l_t_3 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-third TO l_t_3.
endif.
IF source_fields-forth IS INITIAL.
l_t_4 = '    '.
else.
MOVE source_fields-forth TO l_t_4.
endif.
CONCATENATE l_t_1 l_t_2 l_t_3 l_t_4 into result.
In the example, the program uses four blank spaces if any of the fields has no value.
Additionally, if non-initial values in input fields could be shorter than 4 characters (if the input fields have no fixed length), you could use STRLEN to evaluate if it is necessary to add blank spaces to complete the fixed length of 4.
I hope this helps you.

How to Create Hierarchy From Flat file Structure

Hi Gurus,
There is a scenario for me regarding the Hierarchy.
Required Hierarchy structure - Region>Director>Manager-->Sales id
I have flat file which gives the info like user id , sales id , manager id, director id.
But the transaction data Flat file has structure with sales id, region id, sales amt, sales qty.
Note : Region id is another Master Data.
How i can create hierarchy from the first flat file which doesnot have region info in that but it is available in the transaction data Flat file.
Is there anyway we can create hierarchy based on the first Flat file structure which contains more that 1,00,000 records.
Try to Suggest me in this regard .
This is urgent.
Regards,
Mano

Hi Mano,
                Defining the source system from which to load data
Choose the source system tree File ® Create.
       2.      Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data
Optional: choose InfoSource Tree ® Root (InfoSources) ® Create Application Components.
Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Other Functions ® Create InfoSource 3.x ® Direct Update.
Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
       3.      Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Your InfoSource ® Assign Source System. The transfer structure maintenance screen appears.
The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
○       Attributes
○       Texts
○       Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
       4.      Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
Select the DataSource for uploading hierarchies.
IDoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA during loading, which affects performance.
PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here.
       5.      Maintaining the hierarchy
Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy
Hope this helps

How to create security for flat files under a Webserver Directory?

Hello,
I have an Application where I need to show a Flat Excel File (with open/save option) from a URL from Portal.
This works fine.
But a user can view this file without login to Portal.
Though we restricted the directory, file access is uncontrolled.
What should we do?
Thanks
Madhav

I mean, how to enforce Login to Portal on flat files in the Web Server Directory(if the users are accessing directly from URL), they should be accessible as long as they logged into Oracle Portal. But right now, they can access by typing the URL for this flat file directly into browser.
Thanks for your time

How To Convert IDOC to FLAT File ?

Dear Expert,
        My requirement is to convert the IDOC to FLAT File using XI. How can i do this. I have gone thru the Guide How to convert IDOC to Flat file using ABAP mapping but it does not talk about what are all the stpes i need to do in IR & ID.
I am ready to use ABAP mapping since i am an ABAPER.
         Is it recommended to use ABAP mapping since we expect daily 500 IDOCs to be converted to a flat file & transfer this flat file to some FTP location.
         Can anybody tell me the stpes how to do this in XI. The steps i am expecting like how to define the Data Type / Message type / Mapping etc & how to configure the channel ?
         The Flat file i want to convert should look like the way IDOC file gets created in FILE FTP port in SAP.
Regards,
Umesh

I think there is some confusion... Let me explian my problem once again.
I want to convert the Shipment IDOC as it is the moment the shipment documents gets created in R/3. I dont want to collect many IDOCs & make as single file. For each IDOC it should create a Flat File.
Secondly if i have to MAP the whole IDOC the graphical mapping is too difficult.
So instead of that can i use ABAP/XSLT/JAVA whichever is easy. ?
Since i am ABAPER i can use ABAP mapping.
The Output file should look like as below.

How to convert IDOC to flat file in XI

Hello SDNers
I have a scenario IDOC --> XI --> Flat file. My question is how to conver IDOC to flat file. At least there are two ways to do that:
1) Define a flat structure in PI that reflects the IDOC structure, then using content conversion to convert the flat structure to flat file in hte receiver communication channel.
2) There is a [document |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a] talking about using a generic ABAP mapping to map any IDOC to flat file.
For the option 1, I don't want that way, because I would need to define a flat structure in PI for each IDOC which is too much effort. (I would have dozens of IDOC scenarios)
The second one is very attractive. However the document is not complete to follow. Basically it does not explain how the inbound flat structure looks like. I guess the generic ABAP mapping is used to map any IDOC_XML structure to a flat structure, then in the file receiver communication channel to convert the flat structure to flat file format. But the document does not mention how the flat structure looks like. Has somebody tried this scenario? If yes, can you please let me know the steps to do in ESR (IR) and ID? Basically what structure the IDOC_XML should be mapped to using the generic ABAP mapping class?
Or somebody has other ideas on how to convert IDOC to flat file?
Thank you so much
Eric

> 1) You are saying that for Java mapping and abap mapping, the target data type (messag type) is just a dummy one, the real (XML) message the receiver will recieve is the one (stream) produced by the java or abap mapping. Is that correct?
Definitely yes!
>
> 2) For the abap mapping option, I would define a dummy target data type. Do I need to do any content conversion in the receiver adapter (communication channel)?
None wat so ever.The output of your Java Mapping will be the Native Idoc Format.
>
> 3) I tried with a dummy target data type as mentioned in my second post, can you see any clue in the error message what is wrong?
Dats one thing I cant help much. Just make sure that the ABAP report is valid and take the help of a ABAP'er to debug what is going wrong. Not much of a ABAP guy, can read ABAP code, but cant write one myself
Try to test the program standalone to see how it works. Maybe take some Idoc XML file as input and then dump the output to a .txt file and so on.
Regards
Bhavesh
PS : All this is from what I have read of this guide. I have not convert Idoc XML to Native Idoc but have used this guide to convert Native Idoc to Idoc XML .

How to load a long flat file field into BW

Hi all,
I have a field from flat file with 256 characters to be loaded into BW. As we all know the max length an info object can take is only 60. How can I split the flat file field so that I can load that data into BW and how can I then concatenate them in the BEx.
Can anyone suggest a way?
Thanks in advance.
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
we already had this discussion in this forum. In short:
1. create a number range object
2. create a table with a number field a key and a text field
3. while loading the data check your text against the table. If the text already exist, get the number out of the table. If the text doesn't exist, get a new number out of your number range object and post this number + the text into your table.
4. in your loaded data always work with the number you assigned to the text
5. create a infoobject for the number-field
6. create a variable that takes it's value out of the table.

Siggi

This defeats the purpose of trying to centralize SAP-related web resources on the SAP server. Typically IIS/Apache or other non-SAP servers are under the control of IT and not the SAP BASIS group.

File_IO.vi ‏82 KB

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.
