BW Flat file Load error

I am doing flat file in BW System. InfoPackage setting are as follows,
File is CSV file
Data Separator = ,
Escape Sign = u201C
In Transfer Structure all are char fields.
1st Filed is of length 18
2nd Filed is of length 18
3rd Filed is of length 25
4th Filed is of length 10
e.g of data in flat file is as follows
"00q80000003AmvHAAS","00530000000jSm8AAE","US02CALVER;H21020101","2008-11-24u201D
This data will load successfully every time, but if data comes like this
"00q80000003AmvHAAS","00530000000jSm8AAE","US02BVERFU;H21020101;H21020102;H21020104;H21020201;H21020202;H21020203;H21020204","2008-11-24u201D
Then in preview itself I canu2019t see the date(4th filed will be blank) it will blank or some times it will be some char like 200 or 2008 or 2008-11 etc.
Can you please tell me why this is so? How to solve this issue?

I've come accross a similar problem. Maybe another view will help someone find an answer.
The transfer structure looks like this:
MATERIAL                0MATERIAL     Material          CHAR     18
MAT_NAME             ignore                                CHAR     1

/BIC/AREBATES     AREBATES     Rebate          CHAR     17     2
The csv file looks like this:

Line 1 will load correctly like this:
10000001|D|NA|1001|T|100000|M|USD|TO|CR|200701|200812|3.00
but line 2 will be cut off and loaded link this:
10000001|D|NA|1001|T|100000|M|USD|TO|CR|200701|20081|0.00
with the month to and amount incorrect.
There must be a length limit to the incomming text but it doesn't seem to relate directly to the field lengths of the transfer structure.

Hi Nikhil,
The simple solution to this is,
Go to SE37 and use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT here give the input as whatever value you are currently passing to 0unit field through excel file. Execute the FM and check the output, if you get the successful output then copy the 0unit code shown in the output and replace it with unit field value written in the flat file (mostly it will be 2 digit code e.g. for unit BAG the code will be BG).
Here you will have to pass the valid unit value which will be converted to correct internal format. You can try different units by above method and you will have to use any of those units for which you are getting successful output.

Flat file load Error 1

Hi ,
Iam trying to load flat file to infoobject. when i tried to load it , iam getting an error ( see below), iam not getting this error when i loaded in dev and Quality. only getting error in Production. the file contain only 2 records.
is there any access required rights required in production ?
Error 1 when loading external data
Message no. RSAR234
Diagnosis
Error number 1 occurred when loading external data:
1. Error when reading the file (access rights, file name, ...)
2. File size or number of records does not correspond to the data in the control file
3. Error when generating the IDoc
4. File contains invalid data (errors with an arithmetic operation or data conversion)
Procedure
Check whether you have the required access rights and whether the data in the control file is correct (file names, record length, number of records, ...). Correct the data in the control file if necessary and check the data file for invalid data (values of the wrong type, values in the wrong format for conversion exit,...). Check whether the file has headers that have not been specified.

Hi
Check your Authorization for Loading the Flat File/ Access the work Station from AL11 ..
Check your Transformation Rule Details for the Conversions / Data Types are mapped correctly.
If Infopackage loads data from a flat file on your workstation, then you cannot execute the Infopackage in a Process Chain you need to put your flat file on the Application Server(AL11) and change your Infopackage to load from there instead of the workstation
The file should be closed while scheduling
The file path mentioned in the external data tabpage of the infopackage should be correct
Records in the file should be in uppercase you can use lowercase for a particular characteristic.provided the lowercase checkbox in the general tabpage of the maintenance screen of the infoobject is checked.
Calendar day should be of the format yyyymmdd in the file
Hope it helps

Flat file load error

Hi.
I am getting the following error when loading .csv file from "Client Workstation" but the same file is loading fine from "Application server".
Value '10/1/206 ' of characteristic 0DATE is not a number with 000008 spaces
I look for your suggestions to solve and understand this.
Thanks

Hi Dinesh,
I solved the problem by using SDATE in transfer rules as per the SAP note 161506. I am giving the note below for others who might land with similar problem.
Thanks
Kumar
SAP Note Number: 161506
Summary
Symptom
You want to transfer data from a source system into BW from a file (flat file) that also includes date entries (for example, for the 0CALDAY InfoObject). However, when you load the data, the data disappears.
Other terms
Time characteristic, transfer structure, transfer rules, InfoPackage Scheduler, InfoSource
Reason and Prerequisites
In the flatfile of the source system, a date exists which is not stored in the internal format YYYYMMDD but in the external (user-specific) format. In the transfer structure maintenance, no routine is specified for the conversion exit for the corresponding date field. An incorrect data type and an incorrect length can be assigned additionally. The missing conversion exit causes an incorrect processing of the date during the conversion to the internal format of the type DATS and length 8.
Solution
In the maintenance of the transfer structure, standard values that expect the date while the data is being stored in the internal format of the YYYYMMDD system are entered for the 0CALDAY InfoObject (calendar day):
InfoObject Field name Type Length Conversion exit   0CALDAY       CALDAY      CHAR      8
The problem described above is corrected with the conversion of the date fields into the internal format in the flatfile.
If you want to maintain the external format of the date in the source file, implement the following changes in the transfer structure maintenance for the 0CALDAY field:
InfoObject Field name Type Length Conversion exit   0CALDAY       CALDAY      CHAR    10   SDATE
Note that the type must always be CHAR (not DATS). The predefined field length is changed from 8 to 10, and additionally the conversion routine SDATE is entered.
IMPORTANT: The external format for the date in the flat file must match the standard settings of the user in the system (System -> User profiles -> Own data -> Fixed values) such as DD.MM.YYYY MM/DD/YYYY and so on.
Each time you make a change in the maintenance of the transfer structure, you must
a) save the new entries,
b) activate the transfer rules again (InfoSource -> maintain transfer rules),
c) exit and access the Administrator Workbench again (see related notes below) before the next set of data is loaded.

Flat File load error on 0FISPER format

Hi Experts,
I need load a flat file in BI 7.0. The error in on 0FISCPER
a basic questions..
a) the right format in flat file is "0072008" or "2008007" ?
b) in datasource, tab proposal and fields, which is the right format (datatype, lengh) ? the format must be Externa, Internal or Check?
c) does I need created this year (2008) on other system tables? ex: calendar table, T009, etc..
Thank you in advance!

HI,
a) the right format in flat file is "0072008" or "2008007" ?
b) in datasource, tab proposal and fields, which is the right format (datatype, lengh) ? the format must be Externa, Internal or Check?
- You can use in any format, if you are using 0072008 u have to use "External" in your Datasource level. If you are using 2008007, u have to use "Internal"
c) does I need created this year (2008) on other system tables? ex: calendar table, T009, etc..
- No need to create year in any table. when you are loading the data, it automatically store in respective table

Best practise around handling time dependency for flat file loads

Hi folks,
This is a fairly common situation - handling time dependency for flat file loads. Please can anyone share their experience around handling this. One common approach is to handle the time validity changes within the flat file where it is easily changeable by the user but then again is prone to input errors by the user. Another would be to handle this via a DSO. Possibly, also have this data entered directly in BI using IP planning layouts. There is a IP planning function that allows for loading flat file data but then again, it only works without the time dependency factor.
It would be great to hear thoughts or if anyone can point to a best practise document for such a scenario.
Thanks.

Unit Code, Commercial Code - Flat File loading vs BPS Loading

Hi SDN Community,
Recently, we have moved our flat file loading to be performed by BPS interfaces.
During flat file loads, the Commercial code of all units of measures, are verified.
eg.DAY
But when loaded by BPS, the UNIT code is verified.
eg. TAG.
In the display of the BPS upload, it displays DAY which is the commercial code.
The only thing, is the customer is forced to use TAG in the BPS upload files.
They wish to create another record in the transaction
CUNI to be
Unit code = DAY
Commercial code = DAY.
However, i have found that we cannot allocate the same commercial code to another unit code.
Is this a design constraint, or a process error that i am doing.
Thank you.
Simon

Dear customer,
As i do not fully understand how this works, but the base table T006A
has 2 entries, 1 for english, 1 for German, should it not be that the
English EN entry field be working rather that the German DE, hence DAY
should be used? Can you please confirm my understanding on this?
>>> If you check my attachment "SE16.xls", you can see that it's for
language >>English<<, and the internal format is TAG while the external
format is DAY.
- Are there any plans to modify the BPS functionality in newer SAP BW
versions to allow the customer to indicate the same UOM as per flat
file laods? Or is an upgraded Support Pack that allows this?
- If not, would it be possible to make any customer enhancements to
allow this to take place depending on customer requirements.
>>> There is no plan at this moment to change this BPS functionality
in newer SAP BW versions or support packages.
We really recommend you to use internal format TAG in the upload file
in BPS which I think should be acceptable and feasible to you. All
other ways trying to use external format is risky and we cannot assure
you that it will work well as it's not SAP standard function. (I think
it's not worth the risk as the standard function which requires
internal format should not be too unacceptable)
Thanks for your understanding.
I also don't think my BC-SRV-ASF-UOM colleague would be able to help
you a lot regarding this.

Transformation not generating-Flat file loading

Hello guys, I hope you can help me with this little confusion I have on BI7 Flat file loading.
I got a File (CSV) on my workstation. I am trying to load Master Data. Here is the example of my file and issues:
Lets say, I have CSV file named "CarModel.CSV" on my PC.
This excel file has 10 Records and No atributes for this Field.
So the records should show like this and it is showing correctly in PSA level, DS level.
A
B
C
D
E
F
My goal is to load Flat file data to InfoObject (inserted in Infoprovider)
I created Source system, DS, all thats stuffs.
I am now on Display DS screen under Proposal Tab. I am putting 10 Records to show and hitting Load example data....it works fine by showing all 10 records. However in the bottom part of this screen, what should show as a Field ?In my case , First it was showing the First Record ("A")...i didnt think it was correct but i prceeded anyways. Transformation could not be generated.
I tried by deleting "1" from the field "No. of header rows to be ignored" and its the same result ..No transformations.. I mean i know its very simple to load this data but i am not sure what i am doing wrong..My question is:
1) What should show under Field/propasal tab in my case?am i supposed to create this Field?
2) Should the system to propse the field which is from my flat file header ?in my case i dont have any header..should i have include header in my csv file like "car model"? i am confused please give me some info thanks
dk

Hi,
In filed tab, u have to enter ur infoobject names in an order...and press enter it'll automatically give the description and its other factors...
i guess u shuld have some header in the sense eg: customer,cust ID like this..this only u have to enter as fields...in proposal tab...try that

Error while creating process chain for flat file loading

Hi All,
I had Created a process Chain to load Transactiion data(Full load) form flat file which is in my computer.
start>Load>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE--> Create Index
but the system is throwing an error as "An upload from the client workstation in the background is not possible."
I dont know why this error is coming?
Can some one help me
Regards
Mamta

Hi Mamta,
Basically if you want to load the DS through FF using process chain, the FF has to be placed in Application server. We cant load the FF when it is located in the client local workstation(FF On your PC).
So better you remove the Infopackage step from the PC. Load the IP manually. Once it is completed you can start the process chain with the following steps:
start>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE> Create Index
Hope it is clear & helpful!
