BASIC: Flat File Uploads to Web Reports - Notification Status

Hi,
I have excel based Notifications (Some legal cases) with their status in text format.
I would like to show them on a WAD based report.
Kindly suggest how I can do the same.
Thanks in advance
Pranab

Pranab,
you could upload them as documents if required and display the same.
Otherwise - you can upload the same into MIME repository and use the template to display the same using the document Web Item.
Otherwise you can have a BSP that uploads the data into MIME - the user could do this and then display the same in a BSP page instead.
If security is not a big concern then you could upload the same into sites like zohocreator and expose the links on the web template - here the user can also update the status / change the excel files if required - something like Google spreadsheets..

FLAT FILE UPLOAD INTO BI

Hi,
What kind of questions are needed to be asked (from client) for requirements gathering for a flat file upload (from legacy system) to BI? Basically what are all the questions that i need to ask them to make sure I have all information for designing a flat file extractor?
Thanks

I would ask them what do they want to report on from the legacy system and is data already in R/3? I would also ask what kind of data is stored in the legacy system .... inventory, financial data, sales, etc ... Once I knew that, I would ask what do they want to report on .... stock quantities/costs, gl account data, revenue, deliveries, etc....
Then I would ask, do you want this to be seperated from the R/3 datastream? More than likely this will be yes, if not, fight to keep it seperated and possible in it's own cube/ODS and combine in a multiprovider (you need to use the same 0material, 0customer, 0vendor, 0gl_account info objects if you want to combine nicely on a multiprovider).
If the database the legacy system is on is either SQL Server or Informix or Oracle, you may want to consider DBConnect and connect directly to their tables.
In all cases, I try to avoid bringing everything in "just because we may need it". If the system is legacy and it's been a legacy for 2 years, see what people keep going back for and grab that data only. If someone claims to need data, but have not sought it out for 2 years, then the probably don't need it.
Also, check the granularity of the data. Do they need individual documents for legal reasons? Can you summarize the data? What are they going to use the data for?

BPS Flat File Upload Error Messages

Hi,
I am using the BPS flat file upload and am getting error messages. These error messages are coming from the user exit in the characteristics relationships. Unfortunately the message does not indicate which line on the upload file the error is for. In the user exit it does not pass the line no of the flat file that is being processed.
Does anyone have any ideas how the message could be enhanced to indicate the line in error or if there is another exit I could perform the validation in?
regards
Paul Cairncross

Hi Sai,
The issue is not the particular message. The message is in fact my message in the user exit in the characteristic relationships. The issue is when using the flat file upload the message does not indicate which line in the file the message apply's to. Looking at the userexit no line number is passed. This is not a problem in the web as the specific line is highlighted when the user is keying in the data.

Flat file upload error message

Hi Friends
I have designed an infocube and when i try to load data after selecting the option of flat file upload, i get the following error message," You have no authorization for basic types(activity 03)". Please clarify what it means.
regards
kris

hi Kris,
it may due to lack of authorization, please run transaction su53 and capture the info to your basis team to add you the needeed authorization.
hope this helps.

Problem in Flat File Uploading

Hi everyone
During a flat file uploading, I get a message for each record of my SKU (Stock Keeping Unit), for eg for SKU 1017023, I got a message
<b>Value '1017023 ' for characteristic PISKU is in external format RRSV 9</b>
PISKU is the field name.
The whole extraction is failing.
Kindly provide me some suggestions as soon as poosible!!
If possible mail me at
[email protected]
Regards
Gajendra Singh

Hi,
It seems there is a space in the value '1017023 '.You have to edit in PSA and then send it again else delete the request and change the flat file entry and reload the data.
Hope this helps

Create a flat-file upload for a BO XAI Inbound Service?

Hello all,
If we don't have a schema defined for a BO XAI Inbound Service, how can we create the XSL and the flat-file upload schema file for it.
Any advice?
Regards,
Kerr

I don't have problem to create the XSLT mapping.
But because it is to create a flat-file upload for a Business Object XAI Inbound Service, it doesn't have a schema on the server as to the thread Create Schema for Business Object to use for XAI Inbound Service?
And I can't create that flat-file upload without a schema on the server.
Or I can use the BO XAI Inbound Service WSDL instead to create the mapping for the flat-file upload.

Kerr

BPC delta flat file upload possible?

Hi experts,
Ive been trying to find an answer of whether or not it is possible to retain member data on manual flat file upload into a dimension. We have created a dimension (employee) and have created some dummy nodes member data and would like to determine if it is possible to then keep this manual member data while manually loading further member data through flat file load. Is this sort of manual flatfile delta load possible? If so how? What is best practice here?
Also, is it possible to load data into a dimension using two methods IE manual upload file and then another form (IE BW load) without overwriting data? Im assuming this is where the merge data option comes in to play.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Danielle

Hi Danielle,
While uploading data, if you have added dimension members manually, then, it never gets deleted untill and unless you specify for it.
In your scenario, you have created dummy members and want to upload data thru flat file. Then, the data will be uploaded only for those members for which you want to upload data, rest of the members will display the old data.
As you rightly said earlier, while running data manager package, you need to select MERGE option instead of REPLACE & CLEAR data values. This keeps the old data intact and adds the new ones as well.
Hope this clarifies further.
Rgds,
Poonam

Flat file Upload BSP page

Hi Marc,
I am following the July version of how-to. When generating the BSP page, I am told checkbrowser.htm and js.htm are not available. When I create a checkbrowser.htm and point the include to js3.htm, which is one of the page fragment available, there are a few other errors coming out. What am I missing?

Do you already know if the flat file upload is possible from a multi planning area? Because I get the error message that my multi planning area does not exist when executing the function.
Thnx.

Web Dynpro component - Flat file upload

Hi,
We have a requirement to upload a flat file to Planning cube (real time cube) through Web Dynpro component.
Web Dynpro component which we have developed is able to read the records from the flat file.
Now, the issue is u201CHow can we save the records read from the flat file to planning cubeu201D?
If anyone has worked on the similar requirement, pls reply. Thanks in advance.
Note : We have a planning sequence which will be executed on the click of UPLOAD button.
This planning sequence has a filter on Infoprovider (cube which we are using for planning) and a planning function of type u201CFile uploadu201D in which we have defined the flat file format.
Aggregation level is made on Multiprovider which has 2 underlying cubes (One is realtime and other one is standard).
Is there any function module in which we can pass the name of the flat file so that it will be uploaded in planing cube?
Regards,
Ankur

You can deploy solution provided by Marc Bernard within following SDN's contribution:
[u201CLoad a File into SAP NetWeaver BI Integrated Planningu201D |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90cef248-29e0-2910-11bb-df8dece7e22c]
This uses webdynpro functionality.

Flat File upload in IP through Web template

Hi,
I am looking for an option to upload a flat file to an input ready cube through web application designer, can any one suggest / think of any way?
Solution currently implemented:
1. Planning Function to upload the flatfile
2. Planning sequence containing the above planning function
3. Web dynpro
something like: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90cef248-29e0-2910-11bb-df8dece7e22c?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&26048976667552
The above works fine, a link to upload is put in the portal (to be accessed through portal id / pwd) but since its Web dynpro it asks the user and pwd for the BI system.
Requirement is:
to avoid the 2nd login to the BI system
Thanks in Advance
Shweta Salpe

Hi,
check you portal setting.
=> do you use single-sign-on?
=> you need full domain, like http://comany.local.org:53000

Flat file upload through BPS webinterface

Hi ,
I want to load a flat file ( format in CSV) through web upload into a master data infoobject.
that is i want to upload through BPS webinterface . (3.5 version)
Is it possible to write everything in a BSP application without the help of Planning level or layout or functions.
but only through webinterface and a BSP application and can abap coding be included in directly in .htm page.
kindly help me out.

Hi,
I don't think so you 'll be able to write the abap code directly in htm page.Web interfaces are used for the purpose of creating and using user interface .It is no where linked to the logic or the activity that has to be performed using abap code directly.
You have to use the planning level and planning function for uploading the data through flat file.You can check the How to guide in forum's.
You can also create Transaction code for uploading the master data,through abap code you can provide buttons to upload it.
Regards,
Indu

BPS Flat File upload

I have used the How To Paper for BPS Flat File update and it does not give me any error when I run,
but I don't see the data in the cube, How can I validate if the data from the flat file was updated or inserted.
Thanks
Jagraj Dhillon

Hi,
REDDY is wrong is his explanation, sorry.
There are two How to papers ... One for Web file upload, the other for SAPGUI file upload.
Which one did you use ?
If you want to be sure that the data loading is successful, you can :
- use the transaction LISTCUBE to check the content of the cube
- or first commute the cube to background loading, commute again to BPS loading, then load the data. If new data arrived, then you get a new yellow request in your cube.

Laurent
