Loading international Character using Flat File

Hi All,
We have a requirement in which we want to load Japanese and German Characters using a Flat file. How can we go about it.
When I change the file into CSV then only only ???? all displayed in place of the internatioanl character.
Any help or document which tell that how we can load the internatioanl Characters would be appreciated and awarded in SDN.
Regards,
Samved

Dear Samved Sinho,
when u are creating the data source for  Flat file select the language dependent ..and in  the Text   table u have to include the corresponding language in SAP terminology

  • Deleting master data after loading transactional data using flat file

    Dear All,
    I have loaded transaction data  into an infocube using a flat file . While loading DTP i have checked the  option "load  transactional data with out master data exists" . So transactional data is loaded even if no master data is there in BW.
    While loading the flat file, I made a mistake for DIVISION Characteristic  where original master data value is '04000' , but i loaded the transactional data with value '4000' .Then i later realized after seeing the data from the infocube and deleted the request. then i reloaded data with value '04000'. Till now every thing is fine.
    But when I see the master data for DIVISION , i can see a new entry  with value '4000'.
    My question is how to delete the entry value '4000' from DIVISION. I tried deleting manually this entry from 'maintaining masterdata' , but it is not allowing me to do so .
    I have also checked if any transactional data exists for that value '4000' , as i said earlier I have deleted the transactional data with that values. even tried to delete the entries from the master data table, but i donot see a option to delete entries there.
    Please suggest me on this.
    Regards,
    Veera

    Hi,
    Goto RSA1 right click on the Info object and select Delete Master data. This will delete the master data unused existing in the table.
    If this master data is not used any where else just delete the master data completely with SID option.
    If even this doesnt work you can delete the complete table entire in SE14. But this will wipe out the entire table. Be sure if you wanna do this.
    Hope this helps

  • Can i load transaction data thro flat files without loading masters?

    Hi all,
    is it possible to load history data using flat files in sales cube without having loaded any masters?
    thanks

    Hi
    You can load the transaction data without loading the master data. You have to check the option in update rules (update also if no master data exists).
    In reporting you will not be able to see the attribute and text data. Its always adivceable to load master data first and run apply hierarchy/attribute change and load the transaction data.
    AHP: Nice to see you after a long time

  • How to load hierrarchies using dtp  using flat file  in bw  ineed clear ste

    how to load hierrarchies using dtp  using flat file  in bw  ineed clear steps

    Hi,
    If you want to load InfoObjects in the form of hierarchies, you have to activate the indicator with hierarchies for each of the relevant InfoObjects in the InfoObject maintenance. If necessary, you need to specify whether the whole hierarchy or the hierarchy structure is to be time-dependent, whether the hierarchy can contain intervals, whether additional node attributes are allowed (only when loading using a PSA), and which characteristics are allowed.
    1.Defining the source system from which you want to load data:
    Choose Source System Tree ® Root (Source System) ® Context menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create.
    For a flat file, choose: File System, Manual Metadata; Data via File Interface.
    2.Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data:
    Optional: Choose InfoSource Tree ®Root (InfoSources) ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create Application Component.
    Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create InfoSource ® Direct Update
    Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
    3.Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
    Choose InfoSource tree ® Your Application Component ® One of your InfoSources ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Assign Source System. You are taken automatically to the transfer structure maintenance.
    The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
          Attributes
          Texts
          Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
    The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
    4.Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
    Choose the DataSource to be able to upload hierarchies.
    Idoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject, for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, during loading, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA, which affects performance.
    PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here. 
    5.Maintaining the hierarchy:
    Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy.
    PSA Transfer Method: You have the option here to set the Remove Leaf Value and Node InfoObjects indicator. As a result, characteristic values are not transferred into the hierarchy fields NODENAME, LEAFFROM and LEAFTO as is normally the case, but in their own transfer structure fields.  This option allows you to load characteristic values having a length greater than 32 characters.
    Characteristic values with a length > 32 can be loaded into the PSA, but they cannot be updated in characteristics that have a length >32.
    The node names for pure text nodes remain restricted to 32 characters in the hierarchy (0HIER_NODE characteristic).
    The system automatically generates a table with the following hierarchy format (for sorted hierarchies without removed leaf values and node InfoObjects):
    Description
    Field Name
    Length
    Type
    Node ID
    NODEID
    8
    NUMC
    InfoObject name
    INFOOBJECT
    30

    Node name
    NODENAME

    CHAR
    Catalog ID
    LINK
    1
    CHAR
    Parent node
    PARENTID
    8
    NUMC
    First subnode
    CHILDID
    8
    NUMC
    Next adjacent node
    NEXTID
    8
    NUMC
    Language key
    LANGU
    1
    CHAR
    Description - short
    TXTSH
    20
    CHAR
    Description - medium
    TXTMD
    40
    CHAR
    Description- long
    TXTLG
    60
    CHAR
    The system transfers the settings for the intervals and for time-dependency from the InfoObject maintenance. Depending on which settings you have defined in the InfoObject maintenance, further table fields can be generated from the system.
    The valid from and valid to field is filled if you select Total Hierarchy Time-dependent in the InfoObject maintenance. The time-dependent indicator is activated if you select the Hierarchy Nodes Time-dependent option in the InfoObject maintenance.
    6.Save your entries.
    Depending on which settings you defined in the InfoObject maintenance, additional fields can be generated from the system. Also note the detailed description for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via an IDoc and for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via a PSA.

  • Loading Hierarchies using flat file

    Hi experts,
    I have requirement to load hierarchies using flat file.
    I have to create hier on Person Responsible, sub nodes are Sales Office, Project Definition, Project Type and Project Definition Description. I have file, i need to load into BW.
    I dont know much about hier loading, can you tell me what are the Attributes to be inserted and how to prepare the hier loading file which contains HIENM, VERSION, HCLASS, DATEFROM and DATETO.
    I dont know these fields are enough to load my hier.
    I have created one hier, when i try to activate it's giving error like ' no data exists'.
    Can anyone tell me how to prepare file to load into hierarchy?
    Thanks in advance,
    Venky

    Hi Venkatesh,
    There are several formats to load a hierarchy via file. The following two are the commonly used formats.
    1) Default
    Node ID                     NODEID
    InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
    Node Name     NODENAME
    Link Name     LINK
    HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
    Language Key     LANGU
    Description - Short     TXTSH
    Description - Medium     TXTMD
    Description - Long     TXTLG
    2) Sorted
    Node ID                     NODEID
    InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
    Node Name     NODENAME
    Link Name     LINK
    HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
    First Subnode     CHILDID
    Next Node Along     NEXTID
    Language Key     LANGU
    Description - Short     TXTSH
    Description - Medium     TXTMD
    Description - Long     TXTLG
    If Default format is used, the sequence of node IDs appeared in the flat file determines the structure of the hierarchy. Whereas the sorted hierarchy format defines the structure via PARENTID, CHILDID, NEXTID relationship.
    You make the selection in DataSource/Tran.Structure tab of InfoSource Page by clicking on the "Hier. Structure button.
    Good luck!

  • How to load data from a  flat file which is there in the application server

    HI All,
              how to load data from a  flat file which is there in the application server..

    Hi,
    Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
    If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
    Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nishant Tatkar.

  • How to load the data from flat file ( ex excel ) to Planning area directly

    Hi all ,
    How can i load thedata fro m flat file directly to Planning area .
    PLease help me in this.
    Regards,
    Chandu .

    download one key figure data from planning book ( interactive damand plan) and made some changes and need to upload the data back to same planning book
    But, may I know why you are thinking of downloading, changing and uploading for just changing the figures for a particular key figure. You can do it in the planning book itself.
    However, not all the key-figures can be changed. But, what type of key-figure  you are speaking here? Is it like 'Forecast' for which the value is based on other key-figures, or is like a key-figure where some manual adjustments are to be done--so that it can be manually edited? However,  in both the cases, the data can be changed in the planning book only. In first case, you can change the values of dependant key-figures and in the second case, you can change the key-figures directly.
    And please note that you can change the values of the key-figures only at the detailed level. So, after loading the data in the book, use drill-down option, maintain the data at the detailed level, change the figures, and automatically, this gets reflected at the higher level.
    In case you are unable to change the values, go to the 'Design' mode of the book, right-click your key-figure, under "Selected Rows", uncheck "Output Only" option. In case you are unable to see that option, then you are not authorised to change that. See if you can change the authorisations by going to the "Data View" tab in planning book configuration (/n/sapapo/sdp8b), and change the value of Status to 3.
    Hope your query is answered with different solutions offered by many of the sdn colleagues here.

  • How to use 'flat file extraction' option in Infospoke

    Hello Gurus,
    We are trying to extract the BW data using Infospoke to a 3rd party ETL tool (Datastage). Now in the current BW 3.5 release, the customer is on SP11 and we are not able to extract any data using a 3rd party system option in Infospoke. Due to the fact, we found out from SAP, that since we are getting an error (3rd party system is not set)in infospoke, we have to upgrade the SP level from 11 to either 16 or 17. The customer that we are dealing with is not going to do that until July - 2007.
    So now we have a second option to load the 'flat file' in BW App. server and FTP to Datastage. Is this something workable option?
    When using that option within Infospoke destination Tab, we can see two options. One is to use File option and load the data within the standard DIR HOME. I tried that but I can't see the file and the entire data within the standard directory. Can anyone explain why and what will be the procedure to follow?
    The second option is to use Logical file. I never done that before. Can anyone explain step by step process or provide the detail document and/or link?
    Since we are at the critical timeframe stage, I would appreciate if I can get the faster response from the Gurus.
    I will make sure to give 'reward points' to each and every helpful answer(s).
    thanks in advance,
    Maulesh

    Hi shashi,
    first, let me clarify one thing here! I am not saying '3rd party tool' as an option in infospoke. I know Infospoke provides only two options (DB table, and file). But when you use DB table option, you check mark on 3rd party destination and that's where you define an RFC destination for 3rd party tool. So when you execute an infospoke, it will start extracting data and load into the defined destination. Since we are on SP11 on BW 3.5 release, we are getting an error while executing an Infospoke using 'DB table option'. The error is like '3rd party destination is not set'. When I went to Marketplace and found an OSS note, I found out that we need an upgrade on SP level (upto 17).
       As I mentioned earlier, the client doesn't want to upgrade until next year, and we are at the critical timeframe stage, where we have to make a decision whether we hold this project until the SP upgrade happens or found alternate approach where we can extract the data from BW (somehow) and load into Teradata database via Datastage - BW Pack (3rd party ETL).
       So we might be able to use the second option in Infospoke destination, which is to use 'Flat file' load.
       Now when I use File option with App. server checked, the data loads into default Server and directory on BW. Which is DIR_HOME. I can see those file extracted and loaded into that directory under the transaction AL11. But I can't see any data. Do you think I have to request for an increase in size limit? If I see all the data, how can I FTP from the BW server? Do I have to work with SAP Basis or create a UNIX script?
       When I use Logical file name, I guess I have to follow what you have described on your response, correct? Can i use an existing Logical path and file name? Do you have a 'How to' document on creating YEAR and PER FM? Is it possible that Basis can do this work for us? What happens after we assign a logical Path and logical file name into the destination tab on Infospoke? What is the use of logical file versus file? Overall, I am looking for a process from extracting the data from Infospoke using either file or logical file, all the way to load into 3rd party database.
      looking forward for your response!
    thanks,
    Maulesh

  • Ssis issue - load recent added 5 flat files

    HI
    i have one query like i have 5 flat files in one folder today i loaded into sql server table,tomorrow again added 5 flat files in same folder.i want to load recent added 5 flat files,
    can any one give me answer?

    You need to have a loop and inside it have a step to check for file modified date for getting the recent files. Much better is if filename has timestamp part use that to determine the latest files
    see example here

    Figured it out, found similar post that stated changing the HEAP size
    Increase the page size in odiparams.bat in the bin folder and restart Designer.
    For eg:
    set ODI_INIT_HEAP=128m
    set ODI_MAX_HEAP=1024m

  • Object reference not set to an instance of an object error when generating a schema using flat file schema wizard.

    I have a csv file that I need to generate a schema for. I am trying to generate a schema using flat file schema wizard but I keep getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error when I am clicking on the Next button after
    specifying properties of the child elements on the wizard. At the end I get schema file generated but it contains an empty root record with no child elements.
    I thought may be this is because I didn't have my project checked out from the Visual SourceSafe db first but I tried again with the project checked out and got the same error.
    I also tried creating a brand new project and generating a schema for it but got the same error.
    I am not sure what is causing Null Reference exception to be thrown and there is nothing in the Windows event log that would tell me more about the problem.
    I am using Visual Studio 2008 for my BizTalk development.
    I would appreciate if some has any insides on this issue.

    Hi,
    To test your environment, create a new BizTalk project outside of source control.
    Create a simple csv file on the file system.
    Name,City,State
    Bob,New York,NY
    Use the Flat file schema Wizard to create the flat file schema from your simple csv instance.
    Validate the schema.
    Test the schema using your csv instance.
    This will help you determine if everything is ok with you environment.
    Thanks,
    William

    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.
