Master data load prob from flat file

hi to all .........
here i have some q which are very basic.
1) i have defined a char "purchase order date" and i have defined the data type as "DATS " . now i am trying to load master data to this. so i went to the infoprovider's infoarea and right clicked and choose "Insert characteristics as infoprovider" it says " it is not base char so it cant b a data target. then h to load data master data to this.
2) while define the DSO where should i place the characteristic in key fields or in the data fileds , where should i put the key figures, since its dso i should include record mode na , where should i insert it.

HI,

Character stics we can convert as infoprovider which are independent, Date field is time characterstic it is not independent it is depnds on some charasterstic(like based on customer, material,plant these type of objects u can conevert as info provider)
in your case u want to load data to DSO
2) while define the DSO where should i place the characteristic in key fields or in the data fileds , where should i put the key figures, since its dso i should include record mode na , where should i insert it.
Never keep the keyfigurs in key fields column.
remaining characterstics (all even date characterstics aslo) u can keep in keyfields
in keeping key fileds u should analuse on which basis combination the records should be over written based on that u can decide
eg: matreial no , customer number is unique then u can keep those in key fields
even date also unique (means on same date same material , same customer not there) then u can keep date also in Key fields,

Error while loading table from flat file (.csv)

I have a flat file which i am loading into a Target Table in Oracle Warehouse Builder. It uses SQL Loader Internally to load the data from flat file, I am facing an issue. Please find the following error ( This is an extract from the error log generated)
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (D:\MY CURRENT PROJECTS\GEIP-IHSS-Santa Clara\CDI-OWB\Source_Systems\Acquisition.csv)
SQL*Loader-552: insufficient privilege to open file
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The data is invalid.
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
I believe that this is related to SQL * Loader error.
ACtually the flat file resides in my system ( D:\MY CURRENT PROJECTS\GEIP-IHSS-Santa Clara\CDI-OWB\Source_Systems\Acquisition.csv). I am connecting to a oracle server.
Please suggest
Is it required that i need to place the flat file in Oracle Server System ??

Hi
I am getting an error as well which is similar to that described above except that I get
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (/u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
The difference is that Ashoka was getting
SQL*Loader-552: insufficient privilege to open file
and I get
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
The initial thought is that the file does not exist in the directory specified or I have spelt the filename incorrectly it but this has been checked and double checked. The unix directory also has permission to read and write.
Also in the error message is
Control File: C:\u21\oracle\owb_staging\WHITEST\source_depot\INV_LOAD_LABEL_INVENTORY.ctl
Character Set WE8MSWIN1252 specified for all input.
Data File: /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv
Bad File: C:\u21\oracle\owb_staging\WHITEST\source_depot\Durham_Inventory_Labels.bad
As can be seen from the above it seems to be trying to create the ctl and bad file on my c drive instead of on the server in the same directory as the .csv file. The location is registered to the server directory /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot
I am at a lost as this works fine in development and I have just promoted all the development work to a systest environment using OMBPlus.
The directory structure in development is the same as systest except that the data file is /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITED/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv and everything works fine - .ctl and .bad created in the same directory and the data sucessfully loads into a oracle table.
Have I missed a setting in OWB during the promotion to systest or is there something wrong in the way the repository in the systest database is setup?
The systest and development databases are on the same box.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

How to load Material from Flat File and convert to SAP Format

Hi
I am loading 0Material values from Flat File for mapping purpose. The format of Material in Flat File is "7704132". Within the system, i need to compare the value with 0Material values from the incoming data and update corresponding 0Material in records. for this purpose, I created dummy materials taking 0Material as template and trying to load data. I am getting invalid error- Version '7704132' is not valid RSDMD No194. Can anyone please let me know how to over come this issue. Should I include any routine in the data source or rules level. I am in BI 7.0.
Thanks.

Hi,
Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to convert the value into Internal format .Use this FM in the Transformations (field mapping).
Search the forum with CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for more information on this.

Loading Cube From Flat File

Hi All,
Ex: If cube is loaded from Flat file , say with 10 records and during next load only 1 record is changed.
Is it possible to load cube with all 10 records without deleting previous request which should not result in duplicate records in cube?

Hi.......
Infocube is always additive...........so there will be Duplicate records.........Only DSO has the overwritten option.......So for this u hav to go for DSO.........
But if u need to load in infocube only..........then u can do one thing..........
Start process
Delete Traget Content(Process : Complete Deletion of Data Target Contents )
Load infocube
Then first content of the cube will get deleted..........then cube will be loaded.........this will solve ur problem......
Hope this helps.....

Help with loading infocube from flat file

Hi:
I am using SCM 5.1 and the BI 7.0 component that comes with it. I am trying to create an infocube and load it with flat file data but getting errors.
1. First I created the infoobjects and the infocube.
2.a I first tried to create only the data source and activate the datasource. This was not successful.
2.b I then tried to create the application component, infosource etc. (like one does in BW 3.0) but was still not successful.
If you have any pointers, could you please let me know? Thanks.

Loading data for heirarchies from flat file.

Hi,
I am trying to load heirarchies from a flat file. I am getting the error "Error during the calculation at the node level".
I am not able to get the reason.I am also scpetical about this
1.Is it necessary that the external characterics whic are used in heirarchy should already contain data?
2.Should we create a root node before loading the data? Or will it create everything itself during the loading.
3. Should this heirarchies be created directly on the productive system.

If you haven't set the delta mode, then initialize the IP and then run a Delta load from next.

Loading MD from Flat File.

Hi all:
I am in NW2004s. I am trying to load MD from a flat file DS. The problem is that I can't see data in "Maintain Master Data" under the InfoObject in InfoProviders.
The InfoObject is SalDiv which was created with texts. The flat file has two fields: SalesDivID, SalesDivName. Example: "1; Mall Center"
My question is: Should a create 2 Transformations? (one for texts and one for attributes?) or one is enough....in that case, which one?
Thanks.

Hi
Do yo see any record picked by DTP?
was attributes pertaining to IO loaded?
i hope..you have done following steps
create the flat file sourcesytem
then creaet datasource for text
create IP(check preview before loading)
once all the records have come to PSA(by scheduling IP)
create a transformation (map the fileds)
create DTP
check the data in corresponding text table
cheers,

Error when loading hierarchy from Flat-file

I am trying to get the Fund Group-Fund Fund Center Hierarchy .
Ie : Fund Group
             Fund 1
                    Fund center 1
                    Fund Center 2
       Fund Group 2
I am trying to load it from a flat file.
I got the Flat file structure for the hierarchy.
& I am trying to load it to the Funds Group master data.
I am stuck at IPak.
In the Processing Tab,
Only the option Only PSA is enabled.
My Doubt is :
Why are the other options disabled: could it be because I might have missed something in my previous steps ???
Or
if I load till PSA , I dont know how to load it to the Master data from there -as when I schedule it : I can see it in PSA but then it stays in Yellow & then turns to Red.

Hi,
Go to monitor(RSMO)then verify on detail tab for PSA Load. Hope this help you,
Thanks

Errors during Loading TD from Flat file to PSA

Hi Guys,
I got some errors while loading the flat file transaction data into PSA using infopackage.
Could you guys can help me to solve the below errors. It would be more appreciated if you guys could send some material which tells about these types of errors more detailly.
Points will be awarded.
Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ): External length specification will be ignored
Message no. RSDS101
Diagnosis
The value 23 is specified as output length in Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ). It is also specified that the data is shipped in internal format.
System Response
The length specification for output length is ignored. If the data in the source actually have the specified lengths, this results in conversion errors.
Procedure
Select the external format if required.
Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ): Amount field in internal format; check settings
Message no. RSDS099
Diagnosis
Setting made for Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ) states that the data from the source is available in the internal format.
This is not usually the case for this source system type.
System Response
If you do not change this setting, the data has to be available in the internal SAP format.
Example:
For the Japanese Yen this means: 1000 JPY has to be delivered from the source as 10.00 JPY.
Procedure
Check the data format of the source and where necessary, change the setting to External.
Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ): Missing reference to currency field/unit field
Message no. RSDS151
Diagnosis
If an amount or quantity field is not delivered with values in internal format, an associated currency field or unit field must be specified so that the currency or units can be converted during data import.
System Response
The DataSource can not be activated.
Procedure
Specify a reference field if the data is delivered in external format.
Specify a reference field even if the currency or unit is constant. Fields with fixed values are not part of the data source; they are filled by the system when loaded.

Hi JUergen.
The order of the fields are same as datasource. I didn't make any field for amount in a flat file as it is defined as fixed currency usd when i created a key figure. i don't think so we have to create a field unless we take 0currency is a unit for price instead of fixed currency.
Though we got the above error, it still allows activates the datasource but the 10.00 usd shows as 1000 usd.
Cheers,

Data loading mechanism for flat file loads for hierrarchy

Hi all,
We have a custom hierarchy which is getting data from a flat file that is stored in the central server and that gets data from MDM through XI. Now if we delete few records in MDM, the data picked in BI will not consist of the records which are deleted. Does it mean that the hierarchy itself deletes the data it consists of already and does a full load or does it mean every time we load the data to the BI, do weu delete the records from the tables in BI and reload?
Also we have some Web Service(gets loaded from XI) text data sources.
Is the logic about updating the hierrarchy records different as compared to the existing web service interfaces?
Can anyone please tell me the mechanism behind these data loads and differentiate the same for above mentioned data loads?

create the ODS with the correct keys. And load full loads from the flat files. You can have a cube pulling data from the ODS.
Load data in ODS
Create the cube.
Generate export datasource ( rsa1 > rt clk the ods > generate export Datasource )
Replicate the export ds ( rsa1 > source system > ds overview > search the ds starting with 8 + the ODS name
press the '+' button activate the transfer rules and comm str
create the update rules for the cube with the above infource ( same as '8ODSNAME' Datasource )
create infopackage with intial load (in the update tab)
Now load data to cube
Now load new full loads to ODS
create a new infopackage for delta (in the update tab)
run in infopackage. (any changes / new records will be loaded to cube)

BWer
