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.

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 CairncrossHi 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.

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 SinghHi,
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,
KerrI 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.

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
krishi 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. -
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?
ThanksI 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?

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,
DanielleHi 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.

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. -

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.

Question on "Flat file upload into BW-BPS - How-to paper"
The How-to document for "How to Load a Flat file into BW-BPS using a Web Browser" discusses that the function modules "UPB_ALV_EXIT" and "UPB_ALV_EXIT_INIT" can be used as templates for copying the code to a zfunction module.
We are on BW 3.5 and cannot locate the above functions. I see there is a function "UPF_EXIT_INIT_EXAMPLE_01" that contains import,export and tables settings that matches one of the above functions but the code does not match to what is referred to in the document.
Does anyone know of a similar function that refers to the same code in the "UPB_ALV_EXIT" and "UPB_ALV_EXIT_INIT" FUNCTION MODULES" in the How-to-paper.
Thanks,
KumarHi Kumar,
I think those functions mentioned in the "How to .." guide are replaced with the following two functions that will also provide the correct interface:
TEMPLATE_EXIT
TEMPLATE_EXIT_INIT
They are part of function group UPFX. This function group will also provide the rest of the function examples for functions of type 'Exit'.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
