Hi,
Using GUI_upload convert file to internal table data.
Using the below statement separate header and data from CSV.
Read t_itab into wa_titab index 1.
delete t_itab from wa_itab.
Create an internal table with the structure same as 'CSV' file and use the below statement to separate.
loop at t_itab into wa_itab.
      split wa_itab-rec at ',' into var1 var2 var3.
      wa_output-v1 = var1.
      wa_output-v2 = var2.
      wa_output-v3 = var3.
    append wa_output to t_output.
endloop.

How to load CSV files into HANA

1.- Create an CSV file with your data
2.- Copy the file to dropbox/yourname inside the HANA box
3.- Create a table in HANA with the structure of your file
4.- create the control file BBB with the following information:
import data
into table XXX."YYY"
from 'ZZZ.csv'
record delimited by '\n'
fields delimited by ','
optionally enclosed by '"'
error log 'Text_Tables.err'
Where XXX is your schema, YYY is your HANA Table and ZZZ is your file
5.- Open an Script File and write the following:
LOAD FROM '/filer/dropbox/yourname/BBB.ctl';
where BBB is the name of your control file
Greetings,
Blag.

With the recent upgrade to the HANA SP3...the method to upload files to HANA has been slightly changed...so here's the updated tutorial:
1.- Create an CSV file with your data
2.- Copy the file to the HANA Dev Center
3.- Open a FTP connection to ftp.sapdevcenter.com
(You can find the user name and password by doing a select to SYSTEM.FTP_SERVER)
and....*Don't paste the Username or password here or any other place!*
4.- Create a folder with your name on the FTP site and copy the file there
4.- Create a table in HANA with the structure of your file
5.- create the control file BBB with the following information:
import data
into table XXX."YYY"
from 'ZZZ.csv'
record delimited by '\n'
fields delimited by ','
optionally enclosed by '"'
error log 'Text_Tables.err'
Where XXX is your schema, YYY is your HANA Table and ZZZ is your file
5.- Open an Script File and write the following:
IMPORT FROM '/dropbox/yourname/BBB.ctl';
where BBB is the name of your control file
I just test it and it works...if it doesn't work for you, please let me know
Greetings,
Blag.

*** Question How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0

Hi, I created an manual DTP upload to my planning infocube and it works fine. The transformation rules convert 0CALMONTH into the relevant Calendar and Fiscal characteristics. So all of my Time Characteristics are fine, both Calendar and Fiscal.
However, When using the "How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0" solution, only the Calendar Characteristics are populated and not the Fiscal. The upload application somehow knows to populate the 0CALMONTH2, 0CALQUART1, 0CALQUARTER, and 0CALYEAR.
How can I get the upload to populate my Fiscal Period Characteristics?
Would it be best to modify the "Upload Application, or can I write a planning function to update the fiscal characteristics, or some other way?
Thanks!

My planning data is being uploaded via the SDN Planning File Upload Solution. What I did was end up modifiying the upload class ZCL_RSPLF_FILE_UPLOAD Method EXECUTE.
I added the following code if anyone is interested.

Uregnt - How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser

Hello,
We have followed the 'How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser' guide to build BSP web front-end to upload flat file. Everything works great but we have a requirement to populate the Planning Area Variables based on BSP drop down list with values. Does anyone know how to do this? We have the BSP coded with drop down list all we need to do now is populate variables. We can populate the variables through the planning level (hardcoded) but we need to populate them through the web interface.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,
We have acheived the desired result by not too a clean method but it works for us.
What we have done is, we have the link to load file in a page where the variables can be input. The user would then have the option to choose the link to load a file for the layout in that page.
By entering the variable values in the page, we are able to read the variables for the file input directly in the load program.
Maybe this approach might help.

How to convert csv files into java bean objects?

Hi,
I have a CSV file, I want to store the data availabale in that csv file into java bean, I am new to this csv files how can I convert CSV files into java beans.
Please help me.
Adavanced Thanks,
Mahendra

You can use the java.io API to read (and write) files. Use BufferedReader to read the CSV file line by line. Use String#split() to split each line into an array of parts which were separated by comma (or semicolon). If necessary run some escaping of quotes. Finally collect all parts in a two-dimensional List of Strings or a List of Javabeans.

How to load csv file in oracle table

Hi,
i have csv files to which i want to load the csv file data and table structure in oracle. my csv files on the window machine but database is runing on ibm aix.so how to do it please any one can help me about. thanks a lot in advance
i know th syntax below
$sqlldr userid=username/password control=<filename> log=<log filename>

Hello,
Yes, with SQL*Loader you can do it.
But first you have to create a Table into your database with columns and datatype matching
the content of you "csv" file.
Then, you'll have to prepare a control file and use the option fields terminated by "," as it's
a "csv" format.
Then, you could execute your statement.
Please, find enclosed a link with some example about SQL*Loader and "csv" file:
[http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/SQL*Loader_FAQ]
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Thanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!

Can anyone please suggest me a possible solution or an approach.

I have tried your changes but its not working. One more question is that I am having one column which contains commas, when I tried to load the file its failing. I think its the problem with commas.

How to load rm file into ordAudio column?

Hello everybody,
I made many attempts trying to insert aa.mp3(3.63Mb) and bb.rm(3.58Mb) file into ORDSYS.ordAudio column respectively with the same way.
the result is: aa.mp3 was inserted successfully, but the bb.rm was not. It showed the error message: "java.sql.SQLException:ORA-01401:inserted value too large for column"
Why? How can I insert *.rm into the ordAudio column?
main code are grateful.

>

1.tonight, I made another trying to insert aa.mp3(3.63Mb) and bb.rm(3.58Mb) file into ORDSYS.ordAudio column respectively with the same way.
the result is: aa.mp3 was inserted successfully, but the bb.rm was not. It showed the error message: "java.sql.SQLException:ORA-01401:inserted value too large for column"
And the main code is as following:
private final static String EMPTY_AUDIO = "ordsys.ordaudio.init()"; //declare the EMPTY_AUDIO
stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement( //
"insert into TAB_NOAUDIT_AUDIO(NOAU_AU_SERIALNUMBER,"+
"NOAU_AU_TYPE,NOAU_AU_KEYWORD,NOAU_AU_FILENAME,"+
"NOAU_AU_MEDIA)"+
" values (?,?,?,?," + EMPTY_AUDIO +")" );
stmt.setString( 1, id );
stmt.setString( 2, filetype );
stmt.setString( 3, new String(keyword.getBytes("ISO8859-1")) );
stmt.setString( 4, new String(filename.getBytes("ISO8859-1")) );
// System.out.println("after 4th set..()!!");
stmt.executeUpdate();
stmt.close();
//load the audio media file into table
stmt=(OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement(
"select NOAU_AU_MEDIA from TAB_NOAUDIT_AUDIO where NOAU_AU_SERIALNUMBER = ? for update" );
stmt.setString( 1, id );
rset = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery();
while(rset.next()) {
media = (OrdAudio)rset.getCustomDatum( 1, OrdAudio.getFactory());
File file = new File(filepath);
FileInputStream fStream = new FileInputStream(file);
media.loadDataFromInputStream(fStream);
// System.out.println("after aumedia.loadDataFromInputStream()!!");
fStream.close();
I don't know why the error occured?
Whether the rm file format is not recognized by ORDSYS.ordAudio or not?
How can i do next?
The error you get has nothing to do with the size of the media data. The error you are getting has to do with another field somewhere I think. The error you say has nothing to do with media data, but regular SQL.
It all depends on where the error is... Do you get the error on the media.loadDataFromInputStream(fStream);? I suspect, you are getting the error on the insert. and that id or filetype are too big for the column.
Could you tell me where the problem occurs? On the first insert? on the update?? I really can't debug with the amount of information here.
In general, for debugging problems, you need to break it down smaller to find the errror.
Pleas break down your insert to find the problem.
2.Would you mind telling me more detail step or code for copying ordAudio data from table
to another table with the same ORDSYS.ordAudio column property?
One media column to another would simply be
select sound into soundvar from oldtable where .....
insert into newtable(newsound) values (soundvar) where ...;
If from a lob....
select lob into lobvar from....
soundvar.source.localdata := lob;
soundvar.setlocal();
soundvar.setProperties();
