Can i load transaction data thro flat files without loading masters?

Hi all,
is it possible to load history data using flat files in sales cube without having loaded any masters?
thanks

Hi
You can load the transaction data without loading the master data. You have to check the option in update rules (update also if no master data exists).
In reporting you will not be able to see the attribute and text data. Its always adivceable to load master data first and run apply hierarchy/attribute change and load the transaction data.
AHP: Nice to see you after a long time

Deleting master data after loading transactional data using flat file

Dear All,
I have loaded transaction data into an infocube using a flat file . While loading DTP i have checked the option "load transactional data with out master data exists" . So transactional data is loaded even if no master data is there in BW.
While loading the flat file, I made a mistake for DIVISION Characteristic where original master data value is '04000' , but i loaded the transactional data with value '4000' .Then i later realized after seeing the data from the infocube and deleted the request. then i reloaded data with value '04000'. Till now every thing is fine.
But when I see the master data for DIVISION , i can see a new entry with value '4000'.
My question is how to delete the entry value '4000' from DIVISION. I tried deleting manually this entry from 'maintaining masterdata' , but it is not allowing me to do so .
I have also checked if any transactional data exists for that value '4000' , as i said earlier I have deleted the transactional data with that values. even tried to delete the entries from the master data table, but i donot see a option to delete entries there.
Please suggest me on this.
Regards,
Veera

Hi,
Goto RSA1 right click on the Info object and select Delete Master data. This will delete the master data unused existing in the table.
If this master data is not used any where else just delete the master data completely with SID option.
If even this doesnt work you can delete the complete table entire in SE14. But this will wipe out the entire table. Be sure if you wanna do this.
Hope this helps

Can you please let me know more about <b>loading transaction data (sales order, purchase order, etc.,) from external systems into order based SNP objects/structure</b>. there is a 3rd party tool called webconnect that gets data from external systems and can give data in flat file or in database tables what ever required format we want.
I know we can use BAPI's, but dont know how. can you please send any <b>sample ABAP program code that calls BAPI to read flat file and write to SNP order series objects</b>.

How to load the data from flat file ( ex excel ) to Planning area directly

Hi all ,
How can i load thedata fro m flat file directly to Planning area .
PLease help me in this.
Regards,
Chandu .

download one key figure data from planning book ( interactive damand plan) and made some changes and need to upload the data back to same planning book
But, may I know why you are thinking of downloading, changing and uploading for just changing the figures for a particular key figure. You can do it in the planning book itself.
However, not all the key-figures can be changed. But, what type of key-figure you are speaking here? Is it like 'Forecast' for which the value is based on other key-figures, or is like a key-figure where some manual adjustments are to be done--so that it can be manually edited? However, in both the cases, the data can be changed in the planning book only. In first case, you can change the values of dependant key-figures and in the second case, you can change the key-figures directly.
And please note that you can change the values of the key-figures only at the detailed level. So, after loading the data in the book, use drill-down option, maintain the data at the detailed level, change the figures, and automatically, this gets reflected at the higher level.
In case you are unable to change the values, go to the 'Design' mode of the book, right-click your key-figure, under "Selected Rows", uncheck "Output Only" option. In case you are unable to see that option, then you are not authorised to change that. See if you can change the authorisations by going to the "Data View" tab in planning book configuration (/n/sapapo/sdp8b), and change the value of Status to 3.
Hope your query is answered with different solutions offered by many of the sdn colleagues here.

Hi
Please check your transfer structure should match with your flat file.
Order of fields in your flat file should be in the same order as the transfer structure..
Hope it helps you...

Can i load transactional Data from ge DS without having load M Data before

Hello,
I want to load transactional data from a generic data source.
I just want to know whether it would be successful, after the master data of 0material i load in the PSA couldn't be loaded in the infoObject (000000XXXXXXX -> material number error) by the DTP (see Thread BI - BI general - User arnaud).
If i can load the transactional data without having loaded the master data in the info Object, is it possible that it loads also the master data simultaneous.
Thank you very much for helping
AR.

Loading transactions before master data can result in data elements not being populated in the InfoProvider in some cases, hence the "Best Practice" recommendation to load master data first.
For example, if you have update/transformation rules that go read master data to get additional data to enhance the transactional data, or you map master data attributes during the transaction load, the master data attributes could be missing values if you don't load master data first.

"Error occurs when loading transaction data from other model" - BW loading into BPC

Hi Experts,
I'm having a problem with my data loading from BW, using the standard Load InfoProvider Selections data manager package.
If I run for a period without data it succeeds (with warning) but if there is data to be extracted I get the following error:
Task name CONVERT:
No 1 Round:
Error occurs when loading transaction data from other model
model: AIACONS. Package status: ERROR
As it runs ok when there isn't data it appears there is something preventing the movements of data out of the cube itself, rather then a validation issue.
Has anyone encountered similar or have any ideas as to the problem?
Best,
Chris

Hi Vadim,
It's not specific to the transformation file as I have tried with others for the same BW cube and get the same result.
We get a warning when we try and validate the transformation file:
"Error occurs when loading transaction data from other model".
This only appears in the validation pop up and doesn't throw up any warnings about the transformation file itself. The validation log says:
Validate and Process Transformation File Log
Log creation time
3/7/2014 16:09
The result of validation of the
conversion file
SUCCESS
The result of validation of the
conversion file with the data file
FAIL

Message

I can't find any errors anywhere else.

Error loading essbase data into flat files through DIM

Hi All,
While running the session in DIM 8.1.1 which will load data from Hyperion essbase (11.1.1.3) to flat file it fails.
From the log file it shows failes to load the HASReader plugins.
All the environmental variables are properly set.
Still I am facing this issue.
Could anymore suggest me what I am missing.
Thanks,

Hi Avs sai,
By default, the columns in the destination flat file will be non-Unicode columns, e.g. the data type of the columns will be DT_STR. If you want to keep the original DT_WSTR data type of the input column when outputting to the destination file, you can check
the Unicode option on the “Choose a Destination” page of the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Then, on the “Configure Flat File Destination” page, you can click the Edit Mappings…“ button to check the data types. Please see the screenshot:

Error in load master data from flat file to infocube "No SID found for val"

Hi gurus
while i m loding data from ffile to infocube. getting error message "No SID found for value 'HOT ' of characteristic 0UNIT" for material name field .
in flat file one fileld having lower carrecter so i have defined formula for upper case in transfer rule.
after scheduleing message is "data was requested". but in monitor-> detail-> request, extraction status is green and transfer , processing ststus are red.
overall status is red.

It appears your transfer structure and source file are not mapped correctly. Make sure your source file is in the correct format. TRy the "preview" function to make sure.
Also, is the file and your log on language the same? For instance is the file from a GErman user but you are logged in in English? You will see errors like that when you use ST (Stuck = Pieces) instead of PC (Peices in English)
To test a bad mapping, hard code the Unit to something to make sure...(to PC for instance).
Also, the error message you are getting is because of transfer structure, please re-activate it. IF it persists, try to skip the PSA and go straight to the data target.

How to pass parameters to the Control file while loading the data from flat file to staging table

Thanks in advance

Hi ,
LOADDATA statement is required at the beginning of the control file.
INFILE: INFILE keyword is used to specify location of the datafile or datafiles.
INFILE* specifies that the data is found in the control file and not in an external file. INFILE ‘$FILE’, can be used to send the filepath and filename as a parameter when registered as a concurrent program.
INFILE ‘/home/vision/kap/import2.csv’ specifies the filepath and the filename.
Hope this will help you......

The BALANCE field is defined as : 0D_BALANCE (from the SAP Demo Cubes).
Any help on this is appreciated.

Under the FIELDS tab, I set the "FORMAT" to "External".
After doing this, all worked well.
