Loading records from .csv file to SAP table via SAP Program

Hi,
I have a .csv file with 132,869 records and I am trying to load it to an SAP table with a customized SAP program.
After executing the program, only 99,999 records are being loaded into the table.
Is there some setting to define how many records can be loaded into a table? Or what else could be the problem?
Pls advice.
Thanks!!!

hi Arun ,
A datasource need a extract structure to fetch data .It is nothing but a temp table to hold data.
First you need to create atable in SE11 with fields coming from CSV file.
Then you need to write a report program to read you CSV file and populate your table in BW .
Then you can create a datasource on top of this table .
After that replicate and load data at PSA and use to upper flow.

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

SQL Loader problem while loading records from txt file to database table.

I am getting following error while loading records from flat txt file into database table with the help of 'sqlldr' command. I have executed catldr.sql from RDBMS folder but it is still showing same error. I am setting DIRECT = TRUE while issuing sqlldr command. If I try with DIRECT = FALSE then it works fine. Database is Oracle 8i.
SQL*Loader-951: Error calling once/load initialization
ORA-24329: invalid character set identifier
F1 Please.

Hello,
Direct path load, can only be used with SQL*Loader and Database have the same version.
Care to tell the database version and sql*loader version you are using.

Loading data from multiple files to multiple tables

How should I approach on creating SSIS package to load data from multiple files to multiple tables. Also, Files will have data which might overlap so I might have to create stored procedure for it. Ex. 1st day file -data from au.1 - aug 10 and 2nd day
file might have data from aug.5 to aug 15. So I might have to look for max and min date and truncate table with in that date range.

thats ok. ForEachLoop would be able to iterate through the files. You can declare a variable inside loop to capture the filenames. Choose fully qualified as the option in loop
Then inside loop
1. Add execute sql task to delete overlapping data from the table. One question here is where will you get date from? Does it come inside filename?
2. Add a data flow task with file source pointing to file .For this add a suitable connection manager (Excel/Flat file etc) and map the connection string property to filename variable using expressions
3. Add a OLEDB Destination to point to table. You can use table or view from variable - fast load option and map to variable to make tablename dynamic and just set corresponding value for the variable to get correct tablename
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
EMPID        NUMBER                           NOT NULL,
EMPNICKNAME VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)                    NULL,

Loading Data From .CSV files

Hi Gurus,
I m new to BW
Can u please help me out solving the below problem
When i was trying to load data from a flat file (.CSV), which is like this
Cust no, Cust name, Cust address
cust001,coca cola, Inc., 17 north road, Hyderabad - 35
infoObjects are
ZS_CUST,ZS_CUSTNM,ZS_CUSTAD
I am getting the first three values, into my attribute table, those seperated by commas
i.e cust001, coca cola and Inc into three fields in the attribute table (and PSA).
Now my piont is with out replacing the seperator ',' to any thing else
(If we have millions of records in the file and assuming that it will be a time consuming process to change ',' to some other seperator) can we extract the complete data into the fields in attribute table respectively.
Thanks
Suri

Surender,
Once you specify in BW "," as the field separator, it will be interpreted as such. Of course, "Coca Cola, Inc" will be interpreted and loaded as two separate fields.
"Data should be fixed in the source, whenever is possible". That's a phrase you'll hear a lot when dealing with BW, especially when loading data from flat files.
Good luck.
Regards,
Luis

Data Migration from CSV file to Database Table.

How to regularly load data from .csv file to database (using apex)

Hi,
i am using apex3 , I need to load data from a csv file to apex . I need to perform this automatically through code at regular time interval of 5-10 seconds.
Is it possible .If yes how ?. Please reply as early as possible. This will decide whether to use apex or not for this application.
this is question for Application Express. Dont know why in forum for BPEL
Edited by: TEJU on Oct 24, 2008 2:57 PM

Hello,
You really need to load the data every 5-10 seconds? Presumably it's read only?
I would look at using an Oracle external table instead, that way you just drop your CSV in a location the DB can read it and then you build a table that essentially references the underlying CSV (that way when you query the table you view the data in the CSV file).
Take a look at this link for a quick example on usage -
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/SQLNewFeatures9i.php#ExternalTables
Hope this helps,
John.

Load data from flat file to target table with scheduling in loader

Hi All,
I have requirement as follows.
I need to load the data to the target table on every Saturday. My source file consists of dataof several sates.For every week i have to load one particular state data to target table.
If first week I loaded AP data, then second week on Saturday karnatak, etc.
can u plz provide code also how can i schedule the data load with every saturday with different state column values automatically.
Thanks & Regards,
Sekhar

The best solution would be:
get the flat file to the Database server
define an External Table pointing to that flat file
insert into destination table(s) as select * from external_table
Loading only single state data each Saturday might mean troubles, but assuming there are valid reasons to do so, you could:
create a job with a p_state parameter executing insert into destination table(s) as select * from external_table where state = p_state
create a Scheduler chain where each member runs on next Saturday executing the same job with a different p_stateparameter

How to load properties from csv file directly into a .dll parameter in a test step

Hi,
I would like to take values from a property file and plug them directly into parameter used to invoke dll calls.
I have looked at examples on how to use the property loader to input test limits, but I cannot figure out how to pipe into the params.
I have tried. <step name>.Module.<param name>
step.propertieslist[0].
Any ideas?
Thanks,
m
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I agree that it would be nice. The difference between limits and parameters though is that parameters are set dynamically. What I mean by that is you never know how many parameters a step will have until you define the module. Whereas the Limits are always set in stone. The only difference is the MultiNumeric Limit Test which is just an array that get's appended too with the same datatype. And the only acess to a parameters value is through the API unless it is a variable.
The other hard part is that you don't know the datatype of parameters. Any step can have any number of parameters as well as any datatype being passed to each individual parameter.
I think if you are set on NOT creating Locals or FileGlobals then you would need to create custom step types with subproperties that get assigned to the parameters. This could be even more painful though because now you have to maintain and support the custom step types.
The other option would be to create your own property loader step that could call in and set things in the API. HMMM now that would be an interesting project...
