Problem in data sources for transaction data through flat file

Hello Friends,
While creating the data sources for transaction data through flat file, I am getting the following error "Error 'The argument '1519,05' cannot be interpreted as anumber' while assigning character to application structure" Message no. RSDS016
If any one come across this issue, please provide me the solution.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards

Hallo,
just for information.
I had the same problem.
Have changed the field type from CURR to DEC and have set external instead of internal.
Then, the import with flatfile worked fine.
Thank you.

Data Type field read only in Data source for transaction data (PC_FILE)

Hi folks,
I need to change Data Type for some of the fields in "Field" tab in data source for transactional data. It became read only after I activate the data source. Need help in making it editable. All fields now have Data type=CHAR.
Thanks

Nevermind folks. I got it.

Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

Hi BI Experts,
Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as ,
and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
(LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
now i used to rsa1old transaction to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for IOSP_Mat
now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
Thanks,
Srijith

apologies to all of you for late response,
was busy with some other activities.
I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
Thanks again for your quick response.
Once again sorry to all of you for my late response

Data Source for BSEG Data base table

Hi Every one,
I need to create a data source for the data base table BSEG (Function Module Extraction).
I have followed below steps.
I have created extarct structure which contains all the fields of BSEG Data base table.If I save the data source I am getting error.
If I remove all the currecy fields from extract structure, I am able to activate the data sorce.
So Could you please explain me how to extract currency fields.

Hi,
Firstly, can you explain why you need a generic extractor for BSEG? There are already 2 datasources for BSEG, they are:
0FI_GL_4
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0c/b4973c115a6f3ae10000000a114084/frameset.htm
0FI_GL_14
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/49/5700570223413085021a8b4ef1087a/frameset.htm
To use 0FI_GL_14, you should use the new GL in ECC side.
On the other hand, for your problem, your problem may occur if you did not give the reference unit field of your currency field in your extraction structure. when you double click the the currency field, you will see the ref. field, give the reference unit field in this area.
Regards.

Data source for this data connection isn't registered for Power BI

Hi, I am getting this error when I set Schedule Data Refresh to refresh data from db. How do I register my connection to the data source? Is this a fix on SQL server or Power BI?

Thanks for your help.

I'm running into the same issue, I did configure the Gateway and then the data source in Power Bi.
When I go to the Power BI Admin Center and click on "Test Connection" it seems to be working. But when I refresh the data from Power BI it doesn't work. Now if I edit the spreadsheet in excel and refresh the data in PowerPivot then it works. So
not sure why the solution doesn't refresh from the automated service in Power BI without this useless error.
Thanks
Fabian
In case it helps this is the actual error:

Also further information I have found so far is that the Gateway is receiving the requests for the refresh and it shows the message below, so the data source is found and communication seems to be happening from server to client and back, not sure why server
doesn't seem to like the data the Gateway is sending back to server.

Unable to generate "Export data source" for Master data infoobject

Hi Gurus,
I'm in BW 3.5
I need to generate "Export data source" for a master data info object.
I followed below steps:
I ticked the checkbox "Characterist. is export data source" in the master data Info object maintenance screen.
In the Infosource area, for the desired Infoobject --> Right click --> Generate export datasource --> a dialog box displays saying "The generation of DataSource was successful"
Problem:
Even after refreshing, etc.. I couldn't find the generated datasource 8**** for the above master data. I also tried to replicate the datasource from the myself source system, but couldn't find it even there. I don't know where the generated export data source is hiding ???
Could anyone please help ????
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
I guess that after creating an export datasource for infoobject this DS should appear in the RSA1-Source systems - MYSELF - datasource overview (with name starting with 8). Since it's a datamart, it should appear also as system generated infosource. And in this case you would be able to assign in URs of data target the appropriate infosource (make sure that in Infoproviders tab of RSA1 you have inserted your infoobject as a data target).
However, there are some bugs related to export data source. CHeck if you see you export data source in RSA6.
If you don't see it - consider applying OSS Note #816892 - "30BSP26: Export DS for master data is not generated".
Note #876845 - "30BSP29: InfoObject change: Export DataSource not adjusted" is also may be useful.

Using Oracle Stored Proc as Data Source for PowerBuilder Data Window Object

Hi,
I'm trying to use an Oracle stored procedure as the data source for a PowerBuilder data window object. I'm using the following (which is a variation of an example given on Sybase's web site, with the appropriate database/column name changes and use of %TYPE):
======================
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_dw_sp_example
AS
TYPE typ_example_rec1 IS RECORD(
v_comcodsa st_sa.comcodsa%TYPE,
v_comnamsa st_sa.comnamsa%TYPE,
v_cocitysa st_sa.cocitysa%TYPE);
TYPE cur_example_cur1 IS REF CURSOR;
RETURN typ_example_rec1;
END;
======================
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_dw_example1
(arg_teamid IN st_sa.comcodsa%TYPE,
cur_team IN OUT pkg_dw_sp_example.cur_example_cur1)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN cur_team FOR
          SELECT comcodsa,
          comnamsa,
          cocitysa
          FROM st_sa
          WHERE st_sa.comcodha = arg_teamid;
END sp_dw_example1;
======================
The package is created okay, but the procedure is saved with compilation errors. Unfortunately, Oracle does not indicate what the errors are (great product), so I have no idea what it is complaining about.
Questions:
1) Can anyone point me to/or provide a better example?
2) The examples in books I have seen all would have declared the procedure in the package specification - is the above valid?
3) This is a PowerBuilder specific question, but if the package does not show up in the stored procedure list when creating a data window object, how does one use it as a data source?
Oracle 8.1.7
PowerBuilder 8.0.1
Thanks,
Ed Holloman

1) Everything looks fine with your code. You did not mention the environment you are compiling your code in, but if it is SQL*Plus, you can type 'show errors' after the compile and it will list the errors and line numbers for you.
2) You can include the procedure in the package - in which case you would have a procedure declaration in the spec and the actual procedure in the body. You would no longer include the 'create or replace' - the declaration and procedure would just start with 'procedure'. The spec would look include:
PROCEDURE sp_dw_example1
(arg_teamid IN st_sa.comcodsa%TYPE,
   cur_team OUT cur_example_cur1);Note the removal of the package reference (since we are now IN the package) and the second parameter is just OUT instead of IN OUT.
3) Not much, but I know that in PB8, our developers have said they have visibility now to the package when creating a DW - something they didn't have in PB7. Previously, we had to create a dummy standalone procedure that they would select and they would later modify the code to include the package prefix.
Hope this helps a bit.

Whats the difference (Generic Master Data Source vs Transaction Data Sce)

Hi Gurus,
I have been wondering on whats the difference when creating GENERIC Data Sources:
1.) Transaction Data
2.) Master Data
Pls. dont give an answer like (A Master Data Generic Data Source is used to populate Master Data Info Objects and Transaction data Sources are used to populate ODS and CUBES.)
This definition is FALSE since I can use a "Master Data (Data Source)" to populate my ODS.
They only differ in Process Chain since the Action when loading data using Generic Masterdata Data Source is Attribute Change Run. Unlike when loading ODS using Transaction Data Source will use "Activate ODS Data".
Hope Somebody will clarify this...
--Jkyle

Hi Jkyle,
at the moment I think it is more or less a grouping information in BW and additionally a information for you, your users, ... what type of data is being loaded thru the datasource.
With grouping I mean just a type of information used for the list that opens if you'll assign a datasource to a infosource.
With type of data I mean some sort of classification of the data for a special application. I can imagine, that the same data can be used as transactional data as well as as master data depending on the application. A good example for this can be the header data. For some applications you have header (transactional) datasources providing a header counter and additonally you have the document number (basically the header information) with some attributes as master data.
May be there is a difference in the function modules that are called to extract the data, I am not sure about this.
Hope this help a bit.
regards
Siggi

Text Data source for Classification Data

Hi BW Gurus, Ajay Das and Kishore helped me very well on this, just last step doubt. In r/3 system I have added the char tYPE AND kyf TYPE CHARACTERISTICS to classification data now it has generated the Classification customer attribute data source 1CL_0CUSBMW01 and I see the text datasources generated afor char type characteristics in /NCTBW such as 1CL_AABMW01,1CL_AABMW03, etc.. now when i go back to BW
i see the customer attribute data source 1CL_0CUSBMW01 and also text datasources generated in datasource overview, but when i go infosource tab in rsa1 I WAS INTstructed to create the infopackage on 0customer for customer attribute data source 1CL_0CUSBMW01 AND load the data now I " Have a doubt I think I also have to create 4 more infopackages and specify the text datasources generated for the characteristic added in CTBW ex 1CL_AABMW01,1CL_AABMW03. to load the text for the characteristics. please clarify asap if it is required to create all these text infopacks to load the text datasource to respective infoobject or just customer attribute data source 1CL_0CUSBMW01 infopack will take careof every thing, beacuse my manager did not told me to create the text infopack so how will the text get loaded for the infoobject
soniya

1CL_0CUSBMW01 is the DS containing 0CUSTOMER and the two (or more) characteristics I assume. This has to be used to update 0CUSTOMER. You can either use the existing infosource, or, create a new one to do this. You will then need a new infopackage to run this.
Let us say one of the characteristics also has text, and you want to bring that to BW using generated DS 1CL_AABMW01. You will replicate it, and use it to update texts to infoobject XXXX (whatever this characteristic is, in BW). This will not be used to update 0CUSTOMER.
Let us say your class char was COLOR. Its values were 1,2,3,4,... and the associated text was Red, Green, Blue...
Now, based on the above, 0CUSTOMER will have an attribute COLOR which will have values in Attr table as 1,2,3,4...
The text table for characteristics COLOR will have values as
1--Red
2--Green
3--Blue.....
The text will NOT go to 0CUSTOMER if that is what you are asking.

Customized delta data source for deleting data record in the source system.

Hello Gurus,
there is a customized delta data source, how to implement delta function for deleting data record in the source system?
I mean if there is record deleted in the source sytem, how to notify SAP BW system for this deleting change by this customized delta
data source?
Many thanks.

Hi,
when ever record deleted we need to write the code to insert the record in Z table load this records into BW in a cube with similar structure.while loading into this cube multiply the Keyfigure by -1.
add this cube in the Multi Provider.The union of the records in the orginal cube and the cube having deleted records will result in zero vale and will not be displayed in report .

Hi,
I created an DataSource in CTBW like below:

1CL_OART001     TAMANHO_MEIAS              3     N     1CL_ATAM004
After I click on Generate Data Source the following error message occurs "The extract structure is not permitted".
But It seems that the datasources were created. When I try to test then in RSA3, zero registers in the result.
I know that is possible to get this data from table WRF_CHARVAL with a generic datasource, but I want to know if is possible get from Clssification Data method.
Thanks,
Fabio.

Hi, Fabio? Have you solved this issue?

Is it possible to use same data source for two info cube

Hi,
My Problem is in BW we can not have value of material at storage location level.In R/3 also value is maintained at plant level.
Then we searched and we found out one hot to doc for summarized display of stock values on storage location level.
Problem is that we have gone live in last December and we are using " 0AFMM_C02 " and it contains around 1,81,26,000 records. and according to note we have to use
"0IC_C03".
Both the cube uses same data sources for the data.So, how to get the data for "0IC_C03".
and how to delete the data of existing info cube.And is it possible to delete data selectively from the info cube.
Pls. help.
Regards,
viren.

Hi,
You can't create update rule from PSA.You can create from the infosource or from ODS or from cube to cube or ODS to ODS.
In your scenario, what you can do is create update rules from the ODS to the new cube and then transfer the data from there. Or from the Infosource create rules to the new data target and then upload the full data and then set up the delta.
Third option is to create update rules from the existing cube to the new cube and then load all the data one time. Then you can deactivate the update rules as that was needed only for 1 time data transfer.
Cheers,
Kedar
