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 ?
Thanks,

Issue in How-To document "Load flat file using SAPGUI"?

Hi,
I'm having an issue with following lines in the How-To document.
I've a characteristic "CHAR1" which is restricted with multuple values in the planning level.
after the upload using this document, CHAR1 is being loaded incorrect & during my debugging I've noticed that program is changing CHAR1 values while executing following lines of code.
It works fine, if i don't have a restriction for CHAR1 at planning level.
It also works fine, if i restricted CHAR1 with a single value in level.
It's not working as expected, if i restrict CHAR1 with multiple single values.
incase of multiple single values restriction, following is happening.
let's say i load following file & i restricted CHAR1 with values "aaaaa,fffff" in level.
CHAR1 CHAR2 value
aaaaa bbbbb 1000
fffff eeeee 2000
it's being loaded as follows. Program is changing all values of CHAR1 with 1st value of the restricted multiple values and in this case, it is "aaaaa".
CHAR1 CHAR2 value
aaaaa bbbbb 1000
aaaaa eeeee 2000
Has any one encountered the same problem?
Marc,
Could you please comment on this.
>>> INSERT
Set fixed fields
LOOP AT ito_chasel INTO ls_chasel.
READ TABLE ls_chasel-t_charng INTO ls_charng INDEX 1.
IF sy-subrc = 0 AND ls_charng-option = 'EQ'.
ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_chasel-chanm OF STRUCTURE ls_data-s_chas TO <f>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
<f> = ls_charng-low.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
<<< INSERT
Appreciate any help.

Marc,
I still need to keep the lines of coding as I've few characteristics restrictied to single values & one characteristic restricted to multiple single values.
when the coding is commented out, single value restricted characteristics are not getting populated with any value.
I'm counting the table entries "ls_chasel-t_charng" and if entries are 1, then am activating the code. this seems to be working fine. Do you see any problems/issues with this?

Issue with Mapping Spaces for Receiver Flat File Fixed Length

Hi Mapping experts,
my scenario is receiver FILE (fixed length)
so if a validation applied on a target field returns false then I need to pass the spaces having the number of characters defined for that field
example
targetField length = 8
using "IF" function to perform validation,   if validation is true THEN = FIELD
if validation is false ELSE = "________"    (underscore to represent 8 spaces)
the problem is the validation is of multiple occurences in one queue and if the "true" statement is on the 6th row, I get _________ which is the value of the 1st row (which is correct because rows 1 to 5 are all false therefore having the value of ELSE which is _______ mapped to it)
How can I get the value of the TRUE row regardless of what row it is located?
e.g. IF = input is 5 rows of validation,     TRUE is in the 3rd row,   i will get the 3rd row value
       IF = input is 5 rows of validation,     NO TRUE Value,   return 8 spaces
right now when i Display Queue values are
iF:in0          iF:in1          iF:in2          iF:out
1111          false          [_________]     [_________]
2222          false                    [_________]
3333          true                    3333
4444          false                    [_________]
5555          false                    [_________]
In above Queue i only get the value of the 1st row which is ________   --> because my target field occurrences definition in Data Type is 0....1
if I change Data Type occurrences to 1...unbounded I get 5 target fields generated --> WRONG because target file is fixed field, so only one occurence of that target field is required

Can you give me the idea of what validation are you using so that anyone can help you with the UDF straightaway
because you need to have a UDf in place which will iterate the number of times the field occurs and then it will check the entire queue first ,where validation is true and only at the instant it will return the value
if the entire queue is value it will return the 8 underscores
I hope this is what you wanted

Error handling when loading flate files

Hi
We have a Process Chain loading flate files from a server into a ODS. We want to create a routine to avoid errors in the ODS when no files is found.
The error we want to handle is
Error 1 when loading external data
Message no. RSAR234
We want to handle this error message as OK to avoid red request in the ODS
Please help
Kind regards
Ola Einar Langen

Hi, and thanks for your hints.
We ended up with the following codes. It's will mark the prosess chain red (but this is as wanted) but we have implemented that the prosess chain will proceed even with error in the loading process
The code for the routine implemented in the infopackage in "External data" tab.
p_filename = 'filename.txt.
OPEN DATASET p_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
If file could not be open
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
p_subrc = SY-SUBRC.
delete the current request
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_DELETE_REQUEST'.
ENDIF.
close the file if OK
CLOSE DATASET p_filename.
p_subrc = 0.
The solution is no OK for us
Kind regards

Loading Flat Files

Hi,
Iam trying to load flat files into BW. Does any one have a procedure for it. Iam also trying to figure out if we can automate the process if yes please give detail information about it. I would really appreciate if any one could answer to this.
Thanks,
Suneel

Hi,
If you have Unix authorizations on the app server you can do it yourself. You can create folders by a command called mkdir (not sure if this is the correct syntax). Its simple Unix code.Make sure that the id that is going to execute the job has read, write and execute authorization to these folders. You can take help of a Unix SA or Basis person for this.
On the BW side, in teh flat file infopackage, you need to give this path for loading the file and then schedule the job as you do the other BW jobs.
For extractions, you can put the destination path in whatever you are using for extraction, ex ABAP extracts, etc.
For incoming and outgoing files, you can use SYNCRA or EFUSE or any other mechanism that is used to FTP files to get files into your app server or extract out files to downstream systems. You can again take the help of your Unix /BASIS people here.
Cheers,
Kedar

Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

Loading flat files from a server with OWB
I am successful loading files with OWB, as long as they resided on my workstation in the C:\ drive. I copied the files to a Linux server into directories owned by Oracle/oinstall, permissions on the directories containing the files are 777. I ran the OWB client from the server with the following results:

Hi
This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

How to create a dynamic SSIS package for multiple flat file destinations

Hi,
I have to create a ssis package which has single data flow task and inside that I have 23 source (sql- select * from - statements)- destination (flat files, 23 distinct) connection.
Now for each product I have to create separate SSIS package (i.e. if prod=abc then these read select * from abc_tables and 23 abc_ txt files)
I want to do it dynamically, means only single package and inside that variables will take select * values for each source-dest connection (so i believe 23 variables) and same for destination flat files.
Let me know. :)
ANK HIT - if reply helps, please mark it as ANSWER or helpful post

Sorry It seems you're contradicting yourself. you say I know my source and dest structure and the you're
asking all I want is to have a dynamic structure
what does that mean?
and reading your next sentence
I want to run a package for 5 products, instead of creating 5 ssis packages with 23 source- dest connection, I would
like to have one with only 23 source- dest connections
What I feel is what you're looking for is to have a looping structure to loop through each of the 5
products.
In that case what you could do is this
1. Create a object variable in SSIS
2. Use a Execute SQL Task to populate the variable with all available products (I think you'll have a master table for that). Set ResultSet property to Full ResultSet and then in ResultSet tab map Object variable to 0 th index
3. use a ForEachLoop container with ADO .NET recordset enumerator and map to object variable. Create a variable of datatype same as that of Product identifier field to get individual values out
4. Inside loop create your data flow task with 23 source destination connection. In the query part use a parameter for product field and map it to the variable containing product value to get only data for the product.

Hi,
For date column you should maintain YYYYMMDD formate Eg: 20090601, kepp cursor on date column and right click and Formate >Custome>make it 00000000 then save teh file as .CSV . First type values on column and do like this formate and save it and without opening it load it. Once you open it you losw 00000000 formate you need to give again the same formate.
Settings in Infopackage:
Data Format = CSV
Data Separator = ,
Escape Sign = ;

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.
Thanks,

Loading Flat File

Hi Gurus, I have this scenario, where a ODS A (Auditing) has export datasource that feeds data to another ODS C (Auditing and Posting). ODS B (Posting) is independent and is not physically in the data flow.
ODS C has update routines that does lookup for some some fields in ODS B. and eventually ODS C has update rules that feed data to CUBE A.
So ODS C has fields from both ODS A and ODS B.
I wanted to see if I can load a flat file into directly ODS C, it has a export datasource. I tried, I always get that famous 'InfoSource' error msg. Please guide.
Please let me know if you need more explanations.
Thanks.

hi,
it's possible to load flat file data directly to cube C. before loading the data to ods c. you have to decline the infoobject's in to ods. mention the flat file infoobjects in to ods. then do the loading. when you r creating the update rules from ods to infosource it's give some keyfigure has no update. ignore the error and activate the update rule.
one thing i forget to say. when u r updating data from ods c to cube it will cause error, because of the addition of new object 's in to cube. it its show the error, delete the old export data source and recreate it newly.
hope this help you

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.

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??

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.
