How to load flat file in BPS through Web-debugging

Hi,
We are working on flat file upload in BPS thru guide 'How to load flat file in BPS through Web'. Can some one guide on how to debug the function modules used while uploading the data.
We have set up the break point in the function modules and also in the BSP page. But when trying to debug while uploading, it is not going to the break point which was set.
Could you assist in setting up the break point.
Regards,
Sreenath

Hi,
I have put an external break-point.
I have hard coded it in the coding of the function module itself.
The code is perfectly working. But, when I want to check for the values of the variables in the F.M during runtime, the break-point is not triggering. Any ideas??
Regards,

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 load flat file in existing Architecture.

Hi everyone!
There is an existing architecture that I have to upload data into. There is a cube on top, followed below by an ODS and its update rules to the cube, followed below by an Infosource and its corresponding update rule to the ODS above it, followed below by a datasource (it says PC FILES(PC_FILE)) and its accompanying transfer rules to the infosource....
There is nothing in the ODS... No data. The Datasource says emmulated 3.x Datasource... (What does this mean?)
What I want to do is upload data via a flat file... Good BI Masters, how do I do this? How do I create a "dummy file" for upload? What are the specific sequence of steps that I need to do to load this flat file data?
Thank thank you so much!

I'm not sure what you are asking - is it how to load a file all the way to cube in 7.0?
From the architecture desc you have given, you havent migrated ur dataflow to new 7.0 dataflow, as you still have the update rules and transfer rules. So though ur system is 7.0, ur backend is still on 3.x, so the way you load a file is the same when your system was 3.x(before upgrade)
Or - are you asking the steps to load the file to a cube - no matter which environment you are in (3.x or 7.0)? if so, let us know .. and do a search on the forum for steps to load flatfile

BPS - How to Load Flat File ... - Transport RC 8

Hi Guys,
We tried to implement the How to solution named "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI" and in development in works fine.
When we tried to transport in Quality we had a RC 8 (falure) because of the coding of the global data of the function group.
In fact in the global data we have to declare some Types referred to a Table Type that has the following name: /1sem/_yth_data_<sy-mandt><Planning_Area>. Since mandt is different the Table Type cannot be found ... and in STMS we get the message "The type '/1SEM/_YTH_DATA_170ZCSPAB11'" is unknown.
Did somebody of you experienced suche a problem and found a solution?
Thanks in advace to who will help
GFV

Hi Marc,
about client numbers ... I will repeat your suggestion to system administrators. I noticed the habitude to give <i><b>ALWAYS</b></i> different client numbers in all the installation I worked on! I know it's a non-sense but generally we start to work after the system has been installed ...
The solution to use Custom DDIC types according to e has the advantage of an easier implementation but the disadvantage usage, especially in dynamic projects!
At least I came (with some help form ABAP Forum Guys) to an ABAP "coding" solution that I would like to share in a weblog (already asked for to SDN).
Bye

How to load flat file containing data(separated by commas) into cube sapbi.

hi gurus,
please help me with this question?
i have some data in the flat file for example, address but with commas for ex:
h.no:123,colony,area,hyd-59.now i have even other columns in this flat file like customer name,age.....i want to know ,how to load this data into infocube. where in when it comes to address column sap bi takes it as a single column in the generated report.

Hi Amulya,
To get reports on all ur records save ur flat file in .CSV format -> to do this open ur flat file, save as "filename.csv".
-> CSV is nothing but comma seperator value, sap supports two types of formats 1).csv and 2) ASCII format.
we prefer .csv format.
check this link for step by step modelling.

How to load .jar files of subfolder in web-inf/lib folder?

Hi All,
In 'webapps\myappliction\WEB-INF\lib\myfolder' and in myfolder have some .jar files. How to load subfolder jar files in weblogic server 10.0?
Do I need to configure subfolder jar path in web.xml? Please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Gangadhar

Class loaders associated with a Web application can be configured to locate local classes first. To enable this we have to set the <prefer-web-inf-classes> to true in the deployment override weblogic.xml, for example
<container-descriptor>
<prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
</container-descriptor>

Issue in calling webdynpro for loading flat file in IP

Hello,
We have implemented the How-To load flat files in IP paper and we are facing an issue in that. The generated webdynpro runs on ABAP Application server but we need to call this from a Web template which runs on portal server.
These two servers are different and we don't want to hardcode the url in webtemplate as the server names will change in Q & P for webdynpro. Can anyone advise how we can read the ABAP Application server details in WAD may be using javascript and then generate the URL for webdynpro dynamically.
Regards,
Deepti

Hi Deepti,
We have also facing the same challenge. Could you please post the solution in which URL path change dynamically.
I have created the ABAP function module based on the below link.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/BICustomWebItemtoLaunchanABAPWeb+Dynpro
But not sure how to call the function module using custom web item & java script. Coould you please explain the steps on the same ?

Trouble Loading a flat file into BPS using a Web Browser, Please help ?

Hi Gurus,
I'm in BW 3.5.
I did everything and also followed the How to .. paper to upload a flat file into BPS tran cube via a Web browser.
I created a Web Browser and generated a BSP application. When I run the BSP application I get the following error:
"The generated data is not contained in the selection condition" UPC204
The error message also says:
"The error message can appear when you use a planning function to generate data that is outside the data range specified by the selection conditions of the planning package"
When I save the variables that I select in the web interface they are getting saved in a table(UPC_VAR_CHA_ACT), but somehow the BSP application cannot look into those values, which I think is the cause of above issue.
Please help.
Venkat

Hi,
This type of error is quite common in BPS operations. This generally happens due to some missing values in the restriction of the planning levels and the packages.
The error message is "The generated data is not contained in the selection condition" UPC204
Check in the planning level and the package, all the restrictions that have been defined and verify whether the values which are getting uploaded through the flat file are present in the election condition of the level or in the package.
Please award points if helpful.

Above is just a sample.
Thanks,

Hi Araj,
you can do this 2ways.......
1. Try to create your provider with keyfigure modal(create key figure for period1, kyf period2, ......) & load it.
2. Changes your flatfile to char modal(here you will have one kyf)   .
hope this will help you.
