Idoc data in flat file structure

Dear Experts,
We have idoc data in flat file structure. We need to fetch it using ftp and map it to an idoc.
please tell me how to proceed .
Thanks,

Hi,
For flat file you need to use the File content conversion parameters.
Refer the blog,
SAP Network Blog: How to process flat files with multiple documents like POs, SOs etc. in a File to IDoc scenario

What are the advantages of idoc compare to flat file. how data is secure

what are the advantages of idoc compare to flat file. how data is secure in idocs compare to flat file

Hi Ramana,
In simple words, Main advantage with idoc over flat file is security....
I will explain you some scenario here U got a flat file with all the data...Now u r having the flat file if you want u can modify the data in it, or somehow any one can modify the data in it if they were able to access this file. That means u maintained the file in the presentation server
One level of higher security to the above level is maintaining the flat file in application server, at point also even though lot of people r not having the access to that file, super user who is having the access may modify the data or delete the data from it rite....
so in both of those levels u don't have 100% security...
So there come to the picture of idocs, Idocs simply data carriers, those r generated by a program but not manually...data will be divided into number of segments based upon ur program. So manually its not so easy to modify the data in these idocs. If any changes to be made in the data then u have to modify the data in the application and then u have to update the idoc or you have to generate the new idoc with that corresponding data. so in this case not even super user can manipulate the data directly in the idoc....
I think u got my point what I mean to say.....
If you find it useful mark the points

IDoc as a flat file...

I want to read a flat file that is an IDoc and post it as a XML after necessary conversion...So i wanted to know what are the feasible ways to read the flat file thats an IDoc?

Your flat file is of fixed lenght format or tab delimited I believe. Get the flat file data into an internal table. Study the IDOC structure in transaction WE30. & according populate the idoc segemnts from the internal table value..
For ABAP to XML conversion..Create XSLT & the extraction program..
Create XSLT:
In transaction SE80 browse menu Workbench -> Edit Object. In the popup window enter XSLT Program name (e.g. ZXSLT) and click on create button.
Enter the following code into the editor..
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<!xsl:output encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="D2CXML">

How can I get data in flat file from Pool table and cluster table ?

Hi,
I am working in one Achiving project. My requirement is to get data into flat file from Cluster table and pool table.
Is there any tool avilable to download data into flat file from pool table and cluster table ?
if table name given in the selection screen then data will be downloaded into flat file.
waiting for quick response.
Best Regards,
Bansidhar

Data cannot be retrived directly form the cluster table
as the Cluster results are stored in Cluster Key say for example PCLkey
and form that Key we need to fetch the data
these clustes are not the part of PNP or PNPCE tables

Data Source creation for Master Data from Flat File to BW

Hi,
I need to upload Master Data from Flat File. Can anybody tell step by step right from begining of creation of DataSource up to Loading into Master Data InfoObject.
can any body have Document.
Regards,
Chakri.

Hi,
This is the procedure.
1. Create m-data with or without attributes.
2. Create infosource .
    a) with flexible update
         or
    b) with direct update
3. Create transfer rules and assign tyhe names of m-data and attribute in "Transfer rules" tab and transfer them to communication structure.
4. Create the flat-file with same stucture as communication structure.
5. if chosen direct update then create infopackage and assign the name of flat-file and schedule it.
6. if chosen flexible update the create update rule with assigning name of the infosource and the schedule it by creating infopackage.
Hope this helps. If still have prob then let me know.
Follow this link also.

How to create the Export Data and Import Data using flat file interface

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

Here's some info on working with plists:

They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

Reading data from flat file Using TEXT_IO

I already posted this question but this time i need some other changes .....Sorry for that ..
I am using 10G forms and using TEXT_IO for reading data from flat file ..
My data is like this :-

How can i do ?

I have to check the file :-
Validation are 1st line should start from 0 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
The for 2nd line also same thing ..it should start from 9 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
Then the 3rd line should start from 1 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
After that i have to do a validation like i will read the 1st line 2nd column .. It should be like this BP-V1 else raise an error and insert that error to a table . Then i will check the 3rd column which is 20100928 , it should be YYYYMMDD format else same thing ERROR.
Then like this for all columns i have different validation .......
Then it will check for the 2nd line 3rd column . this is an account no .1st i will check it should be 12 char else ERROR .Then I will check that what user has imputed in the form.Like for example User putted 111111111 then i will check with this 000111111111 which is there in the 2nd line . I have to add 000 before that Account no which user imputed .
Then the lines which is starting from 1 , i have to take all the 2nd column for all the lines which is starting from 1 and i have to do a sum . After that i have to compare that sum with the value in the 1st lines ( Starting from 0) 6th column . It should be same else ERROR ...
Then same way i have to count all the lines which is starting from 1 . Then i have to compare with the 7th column of 1st line . It should be same . Here in this file it should be 9.

Loading data from flat file...

Hello,
I am actually experiencing a problem where I cant load data from a flat file into a table. I have actually reverse engineered the flat file into ODI. But the thing is I don't know how to load the data that is reversed into a RDBMS table. Added, I don't know how create this RDBMS table form within ODI to be reflected on the DB. Added, don't know how to load the data from the flat file onto this table without having to add the columns in order to map between the flat file and the table.
In conclusion, I need to know how to create an RDBMS table from within ODI on the database. And how to automatically map the flat file to the DB table and load the data into the DB table.
Regards,
Hossam

Hi Hossam,
We can used ODI procedure to create table in the DB.
Make sure you keep the column name in the table name same as the column name in FLAT FILE so that it can automatically map the column.
and regarding Loading data from FLAT File i.e. our source table is FLAT FILE till ODI 10.1.3.4 we need to manually insert the datastore since the file system cannot be reversed.
Please let me know Hossam if i can assis you further.
Thanks and Regards,
Andy

Loading transaction data from flat file to SNP order series objects

Hi,
I am an BW developer and i need to provide data to my SNP team.
Can you please let me know more about <b>loading transaction data (sales order, purchase order, etc.,) from external systems into order based SNP objects/structure</b>. there is a 3rd party tool called webconnect that gets data from external systems and can give data in flat file or in database tables what ever required format we want.
I know we can use BAPI's, but dont know how. can you please send any <b>sample ABAP program code that calls BAPI to read flat file and write to SNP order series objects</b>.
Please let me know ASAP, how to get data from flat file into SNP order based objects, with options and I will be very grateful.
thanks in advance

Facing Problem in IDOC to EDI FLAT File Scenario

Hi,
I am working on a scenario IDOC to EDI FLAT File. For this I have used ABAP mapping.
The problem i am facing is that the EDI FILE contains the segment name as E1EDK01 for eg. while I need the name as per the latest segment definiton released. I have also tried this using File port and it gives the required segment names in file. But we dont have to use File ports. Please suggest me if something is missing in PI Abap stack ?? Why I am not getting the segments name as per latest segment definition mainatined in R3.
Thanks
Neha

Hi Neha,
Please check the segment name in sxmb_moni. Is this showing new value or the old value?
If SXMB_MONI shows old value then the source SAP (R/3) system which is sending the idoc may not have released the segment after changing the name. You need to ensure that the idoc segment has been released properly. Then re-import the iodc into PI server again. Finally delete entry of the iodc structure in idx2 transaction, no need to re-import the idoc structute again in idx2, since once you run the scenario the metadata automatically gets imported.

Hallo,
just for information.
I had the same problem.
Have changed the field type from CURR to DEC and have set external instead of internal.
Then, the import with flatfile worked fine.
Thank you.
