Loading Flat File and Temporary Table question

I am new to ODI. Is there a method to load a flat file directly in to the target table and not have ODI create a temporary file? I am asking this in trying to find out how efficient ODI is in bulk loading a very large set of data.

You can always modify the KM to skip the loading of the temporary table and load the target table directly. Another option would be to use the SUNOPSIS MEMORY ENGINE as your staging database. But, this option has some drawbacks, as it relies on available memory for the JVM and is not suitable for large datasets (which you mention you have).

Authorizations BW (only load flat-file and update hierarchy)

Hello,
Could you please explain how can I create an authorization for the user to only load-file and update hierarchy at BW?
Thanks,

Load XML File into temporary tables using sql loader

Hi All,
I have an XML file as below. I need to insert the contents into a temporary staging table using sql loader. Please advice how I need to do that.
For example Portfolios should go into a seperate table, and all the tags inside it should be populated in the columns of the table.
Family should go into a seperate table and all the tags inside it should be populated in the columns of the table.

Two options that come to mind. Others exist.
#1 - {thread:id=474031}, which is basically storing the XML in an Object Relational structure for parsing
#2 - Dump the XML into either an XMLType based table or column and use SQL (with XMLTable) to create a view that parses the data. This would be the same as the view shown in the above post.
Don't use sql*loader to parse the XML. I was trying to find a post from mdrake about that but couldn't. In short, sql*loader was not build as an XML parser so don't try to use it that way.

OWB - Flat file to oracle table

Second message, please read.
OS- Microsoft windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2
OWB client---9.0.3.33.0
OWB Repository--9.0.3.0.1
Database--oracle 9i Enterprise Edition 9.0.1.3.1 with the partioning option Jserver Release9.0.1.3.0
OEM--9.0.1.0.0
I have created mapping between the source(flat file)and target(oracle)using Oracle Warehouse Builder. Mapping was validated, configured and it successfully generated without errors. The ‘Deploy’ button and the ‘Run’ button are disabled. How can I run/deploy this mapping ?
The above OWB copy was downloaded from the Oracle corp website. Is this version an evaluation copy? Alternatively Is this a beta copy ?
Please help.

Dear All,
I have a problem with loading flat files to oracle tables using OWB 9.2
i created a map with my flat file as a source and my oracle table as a target,and i created a connector between the target location and the flat file location.And i deployed the connector and registered the flat file location using my PC information and the path of the files on my pc.
I generated the map and saved the .ctl file and deployed the map,and hence trying to load the ctl file using the sql loader as the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\CORAL 2000>sqlldr owb_rt_rep/owb_rt_rep@ofsa
control = D:\oracle2\ofsa\owb\codegen\BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP.ctl
---where owb_rt_rep is my runtime repository user.
I got the following error:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 18.
Expecting "(", found ".".
INTO TABLE "{{TRG_LOC1.Schema}}"."BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT"
--where trg_loc1 is my target location and bm_debit_cards_dat is my target table.
I tried to grant from the target schema the privelages to the runtime user incase its the problem,but still it didn't work.
Any ideas??

Export Table to flat file and upload to FTP server for external vendor

I have done some extensive searches on the forums and I think I have an idea but really need some help. Basically have a table that needs to be exported to a flat file and uploaded to a FTP server so that our vendor can get the data Monday-Saturday and automated by sysdate. This data is used to produce daily letters that go out to customers.
After doing some searching I came across the UTL_FILE package and reading more into this right now but I am not sure if it is what I should be using to create the file.
I am using TOAD right now and can see how to do it manually however really need the file to create itself and send automatically at 6 am Monday - Saturday with the date at the end of the file name making it a unique file for each day.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

As Justin and others have mentioned I wrote [XUTL_FTP|http://www.chrispoole.co.uk/apps/xutlftp.htm] so you wont find it in the Oracle documentation. It's pure PL/SQL and uses UTL_TCP and implements an integrated PL/SQL FTP client / API. One of it's many overloaded procedures FTP's the contents of a refcursor straight to a FTP server of your choice, meaning no intervening file is required. Since it is pure PL/SQL, it is trivial to schedule using DBMS_JOB/DBMS_SCHEDULER.
Any questions just ask.

Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level?

Hi,
I have some data that I want to cleanse and transform. I don't want to cleanse it after i populate the external table, I want to get done with it at flat file level or while populating the external table. Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level through Oracle or OWB 11.2? Is it possible to run a conditional load (i.e. having a where clause or if-else-then) for an external table? Can we call oracle functions for an external table at the time of creation?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ann.

Hi Oleg,
Thanks a lot for the clarification. :)
So is there a way that I can clease the data within the text file through Oracle or OWB? I have datatype mismatches in the data and most of my data is getting rejected because of that. The way I can think of, for solving this problem, is to create the external table with all fields with datatype varchar and then cleansing the data. But it doesn't seem very effecient plus it will get very complicated because I have almost 80-90 fields.
Any help?
Thanks and regards,
Ann.

Loading Flat files with into multiple tables using OWB

Hi,
How to implement the following logic in OWB.
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'myfile.txt'
BADFILE 'myfile.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'myfile.dsc'
APPEND
Into TABLE_Awhen (1:1) = 'A'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:5) CHAR)
Into TABLE_Bwhen (1:1) = 'B'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:20) EXTERNAL INTEGER)
Into TABLE_C
when (1:1) = 'C'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:20) EXTERNAL INTEGER)
I am using 10g version of OWB.I tried using the splitter operator.
I am getting the following error when i use the splitter.
An invalid combination of operators prevents the generation of code in a single implementation language (PL/SQL code, or SQL*Loader code, or ABAP code). For example, you may have included a SQL*Loader only operator such as the Data Generator in a mapping with a PL/SQL implementation type. If you designed the mapping to generate PL/SQL code, an invalid combination or sequence of operators prevents the generation of PL/SQL code in any of the operating modes(set based, row based, row based target only). If the mapping contains an operator that generates only PL/SQL output, all downstream dataflow operators must also be implementable by PL/SQL. You can use SQL operators in such a mapping only after loading the PL/SQL output to a target. Detail is as follows:
PL/SQL set based operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL generation.
PL/SQL row based operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
PL/SQL row based (target only) operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
Both SQL and PL/SQL handlers are not supported by trailer_source_txt as output
SQL*Loader: Operator SPLIT does not support SQL*Loader generation.
ABAP: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support ABAP generation.
Thanks in advance,
VInay

Hi
Splitter can be used ib PL/SQL mappings, but if you use a flat file in a mapping, than it will be an SQLLoader mapping. So I suggest to you to create a mapping which load your flat file into a table, and from this table you load the data into the three table with the spillet in a PL/SQL mapping. Create two mappings.
Or you can use an external table in a mapping with a splitter.

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
for ur info kindly check

Loading different flat files and consolidate in one BEX

I want to know in SAP BW how is the best way to load different flat files and loading them into a Consolitaded Infocubes o DSO to show in a Bex report. This files have the same estructure.

you need to create a datasource with the exact structure of your files... then this datasource will be linked with your cube via transformation.... you need to define the characters, key figures and time character ..
load file to datasource.. then to cube....then it will be available for reporting

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:
Error
RPE-01013: SQL Loader reported error condition, number 1.

I tried to load the file using the control center from both the windows client and the server client. Can I do this from either one?
I can't import the file in the Design Center from the /u00/data/owb_repos1 directory, it does not show up.
If anyone has received similiar errors from OWB, please tell me how I can fix this. THANKS!!!

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

Flat file to target table map in 11G

Hi,
I am havin many problem with my 10G R1 map that have been migrated to 11G.
all that my 10G map has is mapping from flat file to stage table. It also had one constant operator. i am getting error coz of this constant that i am setting up in the map.
when i validate this constant variable i get error mess:

if you note 11G some how does not allow me to have constant operator in flat file maps. and the constant for PHONE_COUNTRY column is enclosed in double quotes insted of single quotes.[should be 'Asia' and not ''Asia'']
can any one tell me why this is heppening?...i also have problem with the READ BUFFER property. which in 10G used to be defulted to '4' but ignored which generating the .ctl but in 11G this property creates READ BUFFERS statement in .ctl....any help in this will be grt.

if you note 11G some how does not allow me to have constant operator in flat file maps. and the constant for >PHONE_COUNTRY column is enclosed in double quotes insted of single quotes.Hi
Please open the same mapping in 10g R2 its same .
It use Double code around the column name.
By the way execute the mapping and then check are you getting desired result.

Extracting a flat file from oracle table

I have moved the knowledge module KIM ISO SQL to FileAppend from the Metadata to my project folder.
But when I create an interface mapping the oracle table and a flat file on a different unix server, in the drop down menu , it shows only KIM SQL TO SQL and KIM Control Append.It does not show up the SQL to FileAppend knowledge module option.
What should I do to extract a flat file from oracle table?
Thanks

All IKM in the Drop Down Menu are dependent of the target technology.
A question, at this interface, is your target table a file ?
