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

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

Indu

Timedependent hierarchy flat file upload

Hello All,
I am trying uploading timedependent hierarchy through a flat file.There was no error when i ran infopkg but when i go and check in hierarchy maintanance, i dont find any hierarchy there.I also verified in PSA, wherein i found four segments properly loaded with data.
I am wondering what can be the possible reason, please provide your valuable suggestions.
Regards,
Jay

Actually speaking there was a error which i didn't noticed. I have to go to scheduler monitor --> details tab --> Transfer (IDocs and TRFC): Errors occured --> Data Package 1 : arrived in BW ; Processing : 2nd processing step not yet finished , on the context menu i clicked manual update, hierarchy got loaded.
But still why one has to go for manual update, Can't it be automated ?
Infopkg --> processing tab --> check -- update subsequently in data target will solved the problem.

Beginner - Flat file upload error Help Please

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to upload a flat file [.csv] for the first time.
I created Info objects Material Id, Material Name , Price as keyfigure.
Material Id holds Material Name and Price as attributes and is With Text and With Master Data.
For the Keyfigure, Price, I have selected Amount and defined as USD.
In the flat file, i have Material id, Material Name, Price, Description for Text, its something like this
Mid         M-Name   Price      DESCRIPTION
10001     A              99.99     AA
When I create an Application Component and thereafter create a data source for master data attributes for Material
and select the flat file and upload it, then the data types for Keyfigure PRICE changes to FLTP Length 16, its no longer as DEC and i get some werid data for Price field, something like
"99.990000000001E+02" instead of 99.99.   Why am I having this problem and how could this be resolved ?
I thought i would start off with my best foot forward but it didnt work. Any kind of help would be highly appreciated. Thanks guys..Byee

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
