How to design Flat file for loading attribute dimension in a planning application

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to extract attribute dimensions from an essbase application and load it to another planning application. I have a dimension called Program and two attribute dimensions Sales Manager, Accounts manager associated with Program dimension in Essbase application. I will Extract these dimensions using Essbase outline extractor. After Extracting the attribute dimensions I have to load these dimensions to planning applications using outline load utility. Kindly guide me how to design the flat file for loading attribute dimensions in planning application.
Thanks and Regards
SC

You could dig through the docs and try to figure out the file format manually, or you could do this the easy way. Simply use the Outline Load Utility to export your attribute dimension from Planning. The export file format is the same as the import file format. You might have to manually add a couple of test members to your attribute dimension so that your export file has some content. Then simply update the file you exported, and import it.
(I am assuming you have already manually created the Attribute dimension in Planning, and that you simply need to add members to it.)
Hope this helps,
- Jake

One way is to use a Java stored procedure, this can then be called from a map or a process flow. The Java stored procedure will use the Zip capabilities in Java to do what you need. For example you will need the following procedure and you will have to grant privileges for your file to ZIP and the entire directory for zipping into (since the file name will be dynamic):
For example grant YOURSCHEMA (change to your tgt schema) read on your extract directory where your file to zip is and write on your zips directory (where the zips will go);
exec dbms_java.grant_permission('YOURSCHEMA', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', 'c:\staging\extracts\*','read');
exec dbms_java.grant_permission('YOURSCHEMA', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', 'c:\staging\zips\*', 'write' )
You can then create your procedure which you can invoke
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "otnZipFile"
AS
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class otnZipFile
public static void zipFile(String zip, String filename)
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
try {
String outFilename = zip;
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFilename));
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filename);
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(filename));
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
out.closeEntry();
in.close();
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
create or replace PROCEDURE zip_file(
dir IN VARCHAR2,
file_name IN VARCHAR2) IS
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'otnZipFile.zipFile(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)';
For example here I zip a file MYCSV.csv into the zip file MYZIP.zip
exec zip_file('c:\staging\zips\MYZIP.zip', 'c:\staging\extracts\MYCSV.csv');

Hi,
The file format differ for different transaction. Basically you can have the field in any order. It matters how you upload into SAP. Use the function module GUI_UPLOAD to upload the flat file.
Please see this sites for more info.

How to search XML file for specific attributes ...

Hi, Im trying to design a XML driven billboard. Is there an easy way to seach attributes of all elements using DOM parser and return the element with attribute that matched search criteria?

Yes. Are you using jsdk1.4? If true then look at the XPathAPI.
I wrote a package for working with XML vocabularies. If you are interested on it, here is an example that uses amic-util.jar to find nodes with the id-user attribute:
XmlReader xr = new XmlReader("vocabulary.xml");
NodeSet ns = new XPathFinder(xr).findNodes("*[@id-user]");
while(ns.hasNextNode()) {
XmlReader node = ns.nextNode();
}Send me an e-mail and I will send you back the amic-util.jar and the javadocs.

How to handle reference Flat File for Dimentions in Tabular model

I have 2 flat files, which are needed in creating one Country dimention.
In SSAS OLAP cube, I would import these 2 files to 2 staging table. I would ETL to one DimCountry table on DW.
How to do with Tabular model?
Should both Files imported to Tabular model and then Insert new Columns and DAX to create needed relationships?
Kenny_I

Hi Kenny_I,
According to your description, you want to know how to import flat files into SQL Server Analysis Services tabular model, right?
In your description, you said that "you can import these 2 files to 2 staging table, then ETL to one DimCountry table on DW in OLAP cube." Based on my research, the flat files are not supported as the datasource of SSAS tabular model. So you can import
these 2 files to 2 staging table, and import the tables into SSAS tabular model.

Flat File Data Loads to BI 7.0

Hi Experts,
Please update me what is the best approach i have to follow for the below scenario of Flat File Data Loads
I will get data in Excel ....with Two worksheets....from the user
My requirment is to place the file in Central location avaliable to the user and BW to update if any changes necessary and want to load data(full0 to bw from file if there are any changes
Please update me how to deal with this scenarion of Two work sheets,In a central location...
Thanks

Easiest thing would be to use a DSO with change log to handle the changes to pass onto to any cubes and load a full every night
Then let the change log worry about any changes to the workbook
You have to be careful about the DSO keys though for this to work properly
Now to automate the loads - just how are you planning to create the infopackage as it will only read a csv and not the binary xls
Well it will read the binary xls if you maybe use a dbconnect with a jdbc driver to read the xls (that's on my next thing to do - but if you are as your user id suggests a "bw learner" then that may be a bit complicated)
The only other thign to do is to write a macro that automatically creates the csv file on the app server when the user quits the xls
Or off course you can just dump the csv each night - but then that is a manual task and in systems I design I hate manual tasks as staff go on holiday and peopel change jobs and it's not really very SoX compliant

Mapping in Transformation file for loading infoprovider

Mapping in transformation file for load from infoprovider:
The requirement is : if Account of BW starts with 70XXXXXXX then use char1 if Account of BW starts with 12XXXXXXX then use char2 in BPC dimension 2.
So, in the transformation file for a load from an infoprovider we want for a dimension to use the data from a certain BW characteristic based on the characteristic Account.
For example if the account start with 70 then use for a certain bpc-dimension u201Cdetailu201D the characteristic of 0COUNRTY should be used, if account start with 2 the char X should be used etc..
Following in the transformation works but the issue is that we have to specify all the accounts individually (+100 accounts in the statement which is not feasible):
BPC_detail = *IF (BWACCOUNT = str(70000010) then 0COUNTRY;str(NO_DETAIL))
Where BPC_detail is the dimension in BPC and BWACCOUNT is the characteristic in BW.
Following statement does not work: there is also no documentation available how to do this:
BPC_detail = *IF (BWACCOUNT(1:2) = str(70) then 0COUNTRY;str(NO_DETAIL))
Is there a solution/statement that fulfills this requirement for the load of an infoprovider?
( so similar to what you can do with the load of a flat file like for example: Entity=IF(col(1,1:1)=U then SEntity;*col(1,1:1)=Z then *col(1,3:6); *STR(ERR)) )

Flat file data load

Hi
I just want to extract the data from flat file for the standard business content data source(which is having some problem) just to work my way upwards to see that my conversion logic is working in update and transfer rules.
To create a flat file, I downloaded the data on the my documents folder via menu path system->list->save->local file. Here what option do I have to check(Unconverted,Spreadsheet..) and do I have to change the .txt to .csv here to convert in a form suitable for BW loading. Also what should we mention as data separator.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Kate.

Data source doesn't show porper data while flat file data loading

Hi Experts,
I am trying to load data from flat file for info object 0GL_ACCOUNT. I have created an application component and data source.
My question is after loading text data in the corresponding data source, it shows only few characters of the actual data.
For Ex. in my original data i have G/L account name "Comp Hardware Purchase" but after loading into the data source it shows only "Comp Hardwa".
I want to show the whole name "Comp Hardware Purchase ". I know there is some text length problem but i couldn't find it. What steps i need to follow?
Please help.
Full points will be given to the useful answers ****
Thanks and Regards,
Niranjan Chechani

HI Niranjan,
Go to your data source and check whether the field and infoobject are having the same lenght. If the infoobject lenght is less than your field lenght wihc is coming from Flat file then such issue occur.
Search for your flatfile datasource and and doubel clik on the datasource and check the fileds tabs, there you will have the mapping or you can also check your Transfer or Update rules of the target.

Need Flat file for Message type DELINS

Hi Experts,
It possible to see the flat file for the Message type DELINS ,, If needed means please say how it can view..
Advance thanks..

>My need is to convert the EDI format into SAP.
As far as I know EDI can be read by SAP as Idoc directly without conversion. At least I would try this.
I checked in WE20 /partner profiles/ for outbound parameters there is a tab called 'EDI standards' and here you can define the EDI parameters. However there is no such tab for inbound processing.
What I would do /using transaction code SALE/
- define logical systems
- assign the received to the client
- create RFC port for Idoc processing
- create distribution model with the correct message type
- create port as file
- define or generate partner profiles
Try to upload sample files via transaction WE19 or WE16.
You can try to debug the inbound processing and write a program based on that, which could be scheduled as a background job.
I had a program doing similar, but it was another message type and it was XML based, however the FMs I used are the following:
'EDI_PORT_READ' - read port definition
'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING' - get the file names in the dir
'EDI_DATA_INCOMING' - process idocs
Hope it helps.
