Loading multiple flat file at a time.

hi experts,
I am having 15 flat files with same data structure.so how do i load all the fileswith out creating 15 info packges .
( say all the files are on the desktop.)
I had seen the option that ABAP code an be written in info package in extraction tab.
Can any one share me the abap code
Regards
Laxman.

You can write dynamic code using ABAP if your number of flat files are not fixed...but if you have to 15 flat files always just creating multiple infopackages.
For code, you have to store file names/name pattern in some table and reading it at run time. You can use function modules starting with BAPI_IPAK* to create/change/start template IP like BAPI_IPAK_START. You can set IP parameters at run time using FM RSBATCH_MAINTAIN_PAR_SETTINGS.

Loading Multiple Flat File in to BI System with one InfoPackage

Greetings,
i have developed a routine to Load Multiple Flate File in one InfoPackage, but it doesn't work. Only the Last File are loaded. Who can Help me?
Loading 'R:\Verzeichnis \ing_wan_b_002.fall.csv' to 'R:\Verzeichnis \ing_wan_b_240*.fall.csv'
Routine:
DATA: VerzUndDateiname TYPE string value 'R:\Verzeichnis \ing_wan_b_000.fall.csv',
      VerzUndDateinameKomplett TYPE string,
      count TYPE i value 2,
      countN(3) TYPE n.
WHILE count <= 240.
countN = count.
VerzUndDateinameKomplett = VerzUndDateiname.
REPLACE '000' WITH zaehlerN
              INTO VerzUndDateinameKomplett.
p_filename = VerzUndDateinameKomplett.
count = count + 1.
ENDWHILE.

Hello Jens,
you have to process the InfoPackage 239 times. Your routine would be executed once during one processing of the InfoPackage. This would run the WHILE statement and end up with the last filename after 239 iterations.
Either try to concatenate the files you want to load (if possible) and load them in one go. Alternatively you could try to use a process chain to run the InfoPackage 239 times.
Kind regards,
Christoph

InfoPackage to load multiple flat file for different plant

Hi
There is a requirements to load the data from multiple flat files by different plant into BI which source data is coming from other system. Each flat file has it own naming convention.
As data has to load via infopackage into the targeted cube. Then I have to create multiple infopackage in order to load the data according to the number of flat files that provided. However, new plant will be created due to expansion of bussiness. If that is the case, additional infopackage is required to create as and when there is a new plant.
Is there a way to create a infopackage to load the data from flat file by plant? Your advice is much appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Kang Ring

Hi,
The best way I can suggest is....
1. Create a folder in AL11 for your requirements.
2. In InfoPackage under Extraxction Tab you can have File Name , just side of this you can fine ABAP Routines ICon there you click on that and asks Name give some and then it will takes to your into ABAP Code there you can access the AL11 and then write code in such way that to take file irrespective of the File name, whatever the file is there in that Folder it ahoud take from that AL11 Folder path.
3. Load the Data using PC.
4.At the end of the PC Delete the File in AL11 folder , becasue we don't need it for next load.
Else

How to load multiple flat files

Hi,
I am new to ODI 10, I have one requirement where I need load flat files containing the folder size11GB.
I want to load them all in a single instances with using of single data server, single physical schema and single logical schema.
How can we do this.
Also to execute this in package what steps and precautions do we need to follow.
Thx

Is the data in your files the same format?
If so, simply follow one of the many guides to looping around files that use a common structure to load them, you can do this in parallel if you want.

How can i load multiple ase files at a time or is there any other adobe software can let me preview multiple ase files

I downloads multiple color schemes. I want to know if I can open them all at once without opening one by one.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

Loading from multiple flat files to same table using SQL Loader

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone please brief me the pros and cons of kicking of multiple sql loader sessions that reads multiple flat files but inserting it into just one table.
The table is not partitioned. Avg record counts for each flat file is about 5-6 million.

OS: Linux

Pros -> Faster loading of more data
Cons -> Potential performance degradation
Test to see how much resource consuming this task would be and do a priority comparison of that multi-multi load task with other stuff that will be happening in the database in the multi-multi load time so you could decide how to share resources in that time.

Loading of flat file (csv) into PSA – no data loaded

Hi BW-gurus,
We have an issue regarding loading a flat file (csv) into PSA using an infopackage u2013 (BI 7.0)
The infopackage has been used for a while. Prior the consultants with SAP_ALL-profile have run the infopackage. Now we want a few super users to run the infopackage.
We have created a role for the super users, including authorization objects:
Data Warehousing objects: S_RS_ADMWB
Activity: 03, 16, 23, 63, 66
Data Warehousing Workbench obj: INFOAREA, INFOOBJECT, INFOPACKAG, MONITOR, SOURCESYS, WORKBENCH
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 datasource (version > BW 3.x): S_RS_DS
Activity: All
Datasource: All
Subobject for New DataSource: All
Sourcesystem: FILE
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 infosource (flex update): S_RS_ISOUR
Activity: Display, Maintain, Request
Application Component: All
InfoSource: All
InfoSource Subobject: All values
As mentioned, the infopackage in question, has been used by consultants with SAP_ALL-profile for some time, and been working just fine. When the super users with the new role are executing the infopackage, the records are found, but not loaded into PSA. The load seems to be stuck, but no error message occurs. The file we are trying to load contains only 15 records.
Details monitor:
Overall status: Missing messages or warnings (yellow)
Requests (messages): Everything ok (green)
-> Data request arranged (green)
-> Confirmed with: OK (green)
Extraction (messages): Errors occurred (yellow)
-> Data request received (green)
-> Data selection scheduled (green)
-> 15 Records sent (0 Records received) (yellow)
-> Data selection ended (green)
Transfer (IDocs and TRFC): Missing messages (yellow)
Processing (data packet): Warnings received (yellow)
-> Data package 1 (? Records): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Inbound processing (0 records): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Update PSA (0 Records posted): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Processing end: Missing messages (yellow)
Have we forgotten something? Any assistance will be highly appreciated!
Cheers,
Anne Therese S. Johannessen

Hi,
Try to use the transaction ST01 to trace the authorization of the upload with the SAP_ALL.
And the enhance your Profile for the super user.

Error when loading a flat file

Hello,
I am trying to load a flat file into our BW for the first time. I keep getting the error:
Error 1 when loading external data
Message no. RSAR234
I have search SDN and looked at the OSS notes and have tried several suggestions, but I still cannot get the file to load. We are currently on version 3.5.
My transfer structure and flat file do match.
My transfer structure for IO_MAT_ATTR has a transfer method of PSA and is laid out as follows:
IO_MAT Material Number IO_MAT
IO_MATNM Material Name IO_MATNM
IO_MAT is: CHAR 15
IO_MATNM is: CHAR 30
My flat file is saved as a CSV and is as follows:
MATONE,TEA
MATTWO,COFFEE
My file is saved on my local PC and is not open when I try to load it. When I attempt to preview the file in my infopackage, I get the same error there as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Charla

Hi Charla,
Error 1 means that the system is unable to access the file. Make sure that the path is correct and also check if the data separator is correctly defined in the "external tab" of the infopackage.
I guess the settings in the "external tab" of the infopackage have some issues.
Bye

Difference b/w Loading a Flat File made from EXCEL and NOTEPAD

Hi
Is there any difference in Loading a flat file made from MS-Excel and Note Pad. Imean performance or errors etc....
GSR

S R G,
Theres no much difference only that when loading from excel we store excel in CSV format. In notepad we use seperators like comma aand write one row at a time, then next....
Rest everything is same...
thats y it is preferable to load from excel as it is easier to represent and create...

Multiple flat files appended, is file locked until all processed?

Hi All,
Have a scenario in place where we are collecting multiple flat files on ECC and using append mode on the receiver file adapter to create a single file for final output. We are only interested in submitting the output to it's target after all files sent to PI have been appended.
Does PI 7.0 lock the appended file until all files have been appended so I am sure I end up with a complete single file on output? If not, what are my options to ensure a completely appended file is output? Would it be a viable option to pass the appending file through another sender file adapter using 'msecs to wait before modification check'?
Thanks!
Don
Edited by: donald.meredith on Dec 1, 2011 2:31 PM

How many files are you collecting from ECC and appending at receiver side and how much time it is taking to complete the process?
if its possible to schedule your business to read data from FTP after completing append then no worries, else sometimes it creates trouble.
The option you mentioned is reliable one , but you ended up creating one more interface.

Raj

Multiple flat file in and multiple target tables

I donot thing in one mapping you can take multiple sqlloader file.
If want to load data form multiple file use External table.

SSIS project - read multiple flat files with different formats

hi all,
i need to import multiple flat files with different formats into different tables of the sql server database and not able to figure out the best way out in ssis to do so...
please advise the possible methods in ssis to do so and if possible the process which can be dynamic as file names or columns might change in future.

Hi AK1987,
To import flat files with dynamic columns, we can use Script Task inside a Foreach Loop Container to parse the first row of the flat file to get the columns names and save them into a .NET variable, then, we can create “Create Table” script based on this
variable, and then store the script into a SSIS package variable. After that, we create a staging table based on the package variable, load the flat file data to the staging table. Eventually, we load data from the staging table to the destination table. For
the detail steps, please walk through the following blog:

ABAP Code for loading the flat files kept at FTP locations

Hi all,
I need to automate the process of data loading via flat files with the help of process chains , with respect to which I require following help:
1. what steps should I follow to load the data with respect that whenever the new file comes in the directory of the ftp location start that process chain for data load.(Note : there is no fix time that when the new file will be coming)
2. Every time the new file will be having differnt name , then in that case how we will be fetching the new file which is require for data loading?
