Uploading the data from a flat file into ztable

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to upload the data from 2 flat files into 2 z tables(ZRB_HDR,ZRB_ITM).From the 1st flat file only data for few fields have to be uploaded into ztable(ZRB_HRD) .Fromthe 2nd flat file data for all the fields have to me uploaded into ztable(ZRB_ITM). How can I do this?
Regards,
Hema

hi,
declare two internal table with structur of your tables.
your flat files should be .txt files.
now make use of GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload your flatfile into internal tables.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename            = 'c:\file1.txt'
      has_field_separator = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab            = itab1
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS              = 1.
use this function twice for two tables.
then loop them individually and make use of insert command.

Problem in the BDC program to upload the data from a flat file.

Hi,
I am required to write a BDC program to upload the data from a flat file. The conditions are as mentioned below:-
1) Selection Screen will be prompted to user and user needs to provide:- File Path on presentation server (with F4 help for this obligatory parameter) and File Separator e.g. @,#,$,%,... etc(fields in the file will be separated by using this special character) or fields may be separated by tab(tab delimited).
2) Finally after the data is uploaded, following messages need to be displayed:-
a) Total Number of records successfully uploaded.
b) Session Name
c) Number of Sessions created.
Problem is when each record is fetched from flat file, the record needs to be split into individual fields separated by delimiter or in case tab separated, then proceeding in usual manner.
It would be great if you provide me either the logic, pseudocode, or sample code for this BDC program.
Thanks,

Here is an example program, if you require the delimitor to be a TAB, then enter TAB on the selection screen, if you require the delimitor to be a comma, slash, pipe, whatever, then simply enter that value. This example is simply the uploading of the file, not the BDC, I assume that you know what to do once you have the data into the internal table.

Updating Table using the data from a flat file

Hi,
I have a table called emp;
Name,
empno,
accountno,
amount.
This table is filled with values of name and empno.
The columns accountno and amount are empty.
I have a flat file created in some folder.
Contents of the flat file can be like this:
mani | 23 | 123 | 1000
spr | 22 | 342 | 2133
asjf | 54 | 432 | 2345
I need to access the file in the specified location, read all the records one after the other in the flat file and update the table "emp" with the values in the flat file.
Row after row all the records in the file should be updated to the table.
I found out some way to do this - its sqlloader - But it loads the data from a file to the table - i dont need that - i need to update the table.
Let me know how this can be solved ?????????
Thanks in advance.......

Just to clarify Andrew's point, you can use external tables as the source table for an UPDATE statement. You cannot use them as a target for an UPDATE statement (i.e. you can't update the text file from an Oracle table).

Loading CLOB data to a flat file in owb 11.2.0.3

Hi,
Also,I have one more question.I want to load a table with clob data into a flat file using my owb client 11.2.0.3.But when I run this simple mapping ,I am getting this error:
ORA-06502:pl/sql:NUMERIC OR VALUE ERROR:CHARACTER STRING BUFFER TOO SMALL.
Please suggest what needs to be done.

I was up all night as I had a dead line doing this....
Turned out my Mapping was corrupted.
If you do a series of synchronizations by object name, position, id the mapping would end up corrupted.
I had to delete my staging table operator within the mapping, drag and drop and reconnect and now my loads work just fine..
Thanks

Loading Master Data from a Flat File

Hi Guru, I have flat files of different SAP tables (Transactional data tables and Master Data ), I want to upload this flat files to a DSO, my question is in the case of Master Data Files example SAP table USR03 ( User Address Data) in a Flat file format which is better to create a Master data text and attributes Datasource or create it as a transactional data Datasource to upload it to a DSO.

Hi
Master data datasource should be used to load master data like customer details. customer data is the master data which does not change frequently. customer infoobject may have some attributes like customer name, customer contact number, customer address, etc. we have to maintain these attributes and text data.
Transaction data is something which keeps changing very frequently like price of the material, sales, etc. for loading such data we go for transaction datasources.
As mentioned above too,the changes in the address are very rare, therefore youshould not use transactional datasource.

Rejecting the Data to a flat file

Hi,
I want to reject the bad data to a flat file. For example, for primary key violation, the bad data should be loaded to a flat file, instead of giving the error and stopping my mapping job (after the error limit of 50).
Can I do this? Please do help me.
Thanks,
Harsha

Hi,
what is your actual requirement?
If you do not want the mapping to fail after raising the 50 errors, then configure your mapping and increase the value for Maximum number of errors tab under runtime parameters.
If you actually want to capture all the PK violations into a flat file, there is no direct way of doing this.
Either you have to query RT repository views (write your own sql) to produce a file OR
While in Mapping Configure window
expand Sources and Targets
expand constraint management
set Enable constraints to FALSE
set Exceptions Table Name <your own exceptions table>.
Have a look in Oracle Documentation for constraint management. That should give you an idea how to create your own exceptions table etc.

Load the External text and css file for more frames

hello..
       I created one Movie file. In that I load the External text and css file in first frame and display the first variable value in one text box.
And then in 2nd frame I use another one text field and display the 2nd variable value like that I want to load the more variable in more textboxes with different frames.
     I loaded for first variable value in first frame. But I don't know how to do next frames like that..
     Help me...

You need to load them in the frames they are in. You can store the loaded data in variables in frame 1, but you will need to extend that layer so that whatever is stored is avaliable in other frames. The code to load the data into the other textfields can then be done in the frames where it is needed.
There are other options, such as not using other frames for content or having all of them in frame 1 and making them invisible until you get to the other frames where they get turned visible.

Refreshing the data in a flat file

Hi
I am working on data integration.
I need to fetch data from Oracle data base and then write it to a flat file.
It is working fine now,but for the next fetch I don't need the old data to remain there in the file.The data should get refreshed and only the newly fetched data should be present.
After the data is written to the flat file can i rename the file?
I need the format of the file to be 'File_yyyyMMDDHHmmss.txt'.
My final question is how should I FTP this to the target?
Please help me on this as soon as possible since this is needed in an urgent part of the delivery.

All you ask is achievable:
1) The IKM SQL to file has a TRUNCATE option, which will if set to YES, will start from a clean file.
2) You could rename the file after writing it, but why not just write it with that name? If you set the resource name to be a variable, (e.g. #MyProj.MyFilename), and be sure to set the variable in the package before executing your interface, you should be able to get the file you want. Otherwise, you can use the OdiFileMove tool in your package to rename the file.
To set the name of the variable you can use a query on the database (if you are using Oracle, something like SELECT 'File_'||TOCHAR(SYSDATE) from DUAL.)
3) ODI has ftp classes built in- you can find the doc under doc\webhelp\en\ref_jython\jyt_ex_ftp.htm
Hope this helps

Hi,
You cannot send the duplicated with the standard import package. You need to create or add a new package and link to /CPMB/APPEND process chain and do the import. This would consider the duplicate entries also. It looks like you need somehow load all the records including the duplicate ones.
So on excel go to Manage Data -> Maintain Data management -> organize package list and add a new package and link to the standard BPC process chain /CPMB/APPEND.
Thanks,
