Cannot extract dimension .csv files from HFM to be able to use maploader

Hi All!
We are in the middle of implementing FDM at a financial consolidation project. During this build we would like to use FDM to load HFM with data.
To help the users we would like to offer them the Maploader.xml which is provided in the mapping templates.zip
To prepare this maploader file we need to extract the dimension data from HFM into csv files and load these into the maploader.
Can anyone help me with extracting the .csv files? The script we use creates the csv files but does not load them with the metadata.
Maybe it is possible to get the right script? Or is this already available in FDM (can't find it)?
Thank you in advance for your support!!

Anyone got any tips or directions to solve this?

Copy CSV file from windows to linux

how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?Using scp (secure copy).
It is supported by Putty and ssh services are available by default on most (if not all) modern Unix servers.
Don't have a Windows machine close by, but I recall the scp command is supported by the Putty executable called "+pscp.exe+".
The syntax is very simple:
scp <from_destination> <to_destination>
example (pushing a file from Windows to Oracle Unix server)
scp c:\datafiles\accounts.csv [email protected]:/u01/files/accounts.csv This will prompt for a password.
You also can use ssh trusted certificates (RSA or DSA keys) to automate this. Using Putty you can generate a key pair that consists of a private key and public key.
You copy and paste the public key into the destination server's +$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys+ file. This results the server in trusting that client and allows the client to connect (using ssh, scp and sftp) without having to supply a password (as the private part of the key serves as authentication). (I would however not use the oracle account for this, but a special scp-copy usage Unix account that does not support shell usage)
If you want to automate it the other way around - have the Unix server pull the file from the Windows client, then you need to install server software on that Windows machine to allow it to provide such a file copy service.
Again I suggest using ssh - OpenSSH is available for a variety of platforms, and Windows should be included. If not, there should be ssh service for Windows from Microsoft or another vendor that can be used.
Any other method than ssh will be either insecure or problematic. FTP is insecure as usernames and passwords are transmitted in clear text. Using Windows File Sharing requires Samba to be loaded and configured on the Unix server - and this is extra work installing and configuring and testing s/w that uses a low level security, that is also proprietary and could required setting on the Windows client also to make it work in a somewhat robust fashion.
The standard today is ssh. It is robust and secure. And it makes a lot of sense to use it.. and pretty good motivation for not using it ifo something else.

This is not supported in PI standard.
I think the option will be available in PI 7.3, but I cannot promise it.

Inserting Record into CSV file from BizTalk Orchestration

Scenario:
1.Receive file from Source system via RecvPipeline
2.In Orchestration extracting some values like ENO,Ename,Salary etc.these values to be added in to CSV file from Expression Shape.How to append/add emp records in to CSV with out overriding the rows.
Ex:If we submitted 10 files then the CSV file should contain 10 rows in CSV.
Let me know how to create CSV file from Orchestration and how to add rows into that csv value
Regards BizTalkWorship

Simple.
Receive the message through a Receive Port/Location.
Create a flat-file schema representing the CSV file structure. Ensure each row is delimited by “{CR}{LF}”.
This flat-file schema should only contain the element which you want to see in the destination CSV file like ENO,Ename,Salary etc.
Have a map where the source schema should be the one which represents the received file and destination schema should be the one which is above created flat-file schema.
Map the source schema to the destination schema mapping the filed
ENO,Ename,Salary etc.
Have a custom send pipeline with flat-file assembler component it. Use this send pipeline in the send port.
In send port, configure the send filter like “BTS.ReceivePortName == YourReceivePortName”. Configure the send port’s “Outbound Maps” to the map which you have created in
above step
Key Point. In your send port, set the “Copy Mode” property to “Append” from default “Create New”
With your send port’s, “Copy Mode” property configured to “Append” this will append the value of the output to the existing file. Since in your flat-file schema, each record
is delimited by “{CR}{LF}” and since you’re overwriting the output file you will have one file with records appended. So if 10 files received, instead of 10 output files, you will have 1 CVS file with 10 rows.
If you want to construct the message in Orchestration as do, you do as opposed to map in send port at outbound map you can still do.

Delete a .csv file from desktop system

Hi All,
My requirement is to read the .csv file from the desktop system having the shared folder and delete the file after read successfully.
Here I can read the .csv file from the location using the function RFC_REMOTE_FILE and updated the content into internal table.
But I cant delete the file from the presentation server ( Desktop system).
Can anyone tell me how to delete the .csv file from the desktop system on different location.
Note:
I followed this link to read file:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/9831750a-0801-0010-1d9e-f8c64efb2bd2&overridelayout=true

Hi Rob,
Thanks. I solved this problem myself.
The solution to delete the file from remote system is
concatenate 'DEL' i_filename i_dirname into v_bkfile separated by space .
call function 'RFC_REMOTE_EXEC'
destination c_dest
exporting
    command               = v_bkfile
exceptions
    system_failure        = 1 MESSAGE v_ermsg
    communication_failure = 2 MESSAGE v_ermsg.

Hi BI consultant:
   Could you please provide more details?
For example:
1.Is your P application server a UNIX flavor? (Solaris, AIX, UX, Linux)
   If yes..
         2. Are you able to see the contents of the file correctly with a "cat" or "vi" command? (at operating system level).
               If no...
                     3. Did you upload the csv flat file to the server via FTP?
                            If yes...
                                 4. Did you use the "binary" or the "ascii" parameter on the FTP command used to upload the file?
Probably you need to upload the CSV file again to your application server and make sure you can se the file contents ("cat" or "vi" command) before trying to execute the InfoPackage.

Download CSV-File from Interactive Report

Dear all,
I want to download a CSV-File from a Interactive report.
The content of the Rows in Excel:
Erste,"B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P"
IBC ->,"-","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14" [...]
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for help.

Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".

Extracting a flat file from oracle table

I have moved the knowledge module KIM ISO SQL to FileAppend from the Metadata to my project folder.
But when I create an interface mapping the oracle table and a flat file on a different unix server, in the drop down menu , it shows only KIM SQL TO SQL and KIM Control Append.It does not show up the SQL to FileAppend knowledge module option.
What should I do to extract a flat file from oracle table?
Thanks

All IKM in the Drop Down Menu are dependent of the target technology.
A question, at this interface, is your target table a file ?

Reading a CSV file from server

Hi All,
I am reading a CSV file from server and my internal table has only one field with lenght 200. In the input CSV file there are more than one column and while splitting the file my internal table should have same number of rows as columns of the input record.
But when i do that the last field in the internal table is appened with #.
Can somebody tell me the solution for this.
U can see the my code below.
data: begin of itab_infile occurs 0,
         input(3000),
      end of itab_infile.
data: begin of itab_rec occurs 0,
         record(200),
      end of itab_rec.
data: c_comma(1) value ',',
        open dataset f_name1 for input in text mode encoding default.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          write: /, 'FILE NOT FOUND'.
          exit.
        endif.
do
read dataset p_ipath into waf_infile.
split itab_infile-input at c_sep into table itab_rec.
enddo.
Thanks in advance.
Sunil

Sunil,
You go not mention the platform on which the CSV file was created and the platform on which it is read.
A common problem with CSV files created on MS/Windows platforms and read on unix is the end-of-record (EOR) characters.
MS/Windows usings <CR><LF> as the EOR
Unix using either <CR> or <LF>
If on unix open the file using vi in a telnet session to confirm the EOR type.
The fix options.
1) Before opening the opening the file in your ABAP program run the unix command dos2unix.
2) Transfer the file from the MS/Windows platform to unix using FTP using ascii not bin. This does the dos2unix conversion on the fly.
3) Install SAMBA and share the load directory to the windows platforms. SAMBA also handles the dos2unix and unix2dos conversions on the fly.
Hope this helps

SSIS 2008 – Read roughly 50 CSV files from a folder, create SQL table from them dynamically, and dump data.

Hello everyone,
I’ve been assigned one requirement wherein I would like to read around 50 CSV files from a specified folder.
In step 1 I would like to create schema for this files, meaning take the CSV file one by one and create SQL table for it, if it does not exist at destination.
In step 2 I would like to append the data of these 50 CSV files into respective table.
In step 3 I would like to purge data older than a given date.
Please note, the data in these CSV files would be very bulky, I would like to know the best way to insert bulky data into SQL table.
Also, in some of the CSV files, there will be 4 rows at the top of the file which have the header details/header rows.
According to my knowledge I would be asked to implement this on SSIS 2008 but I’m not 100% sure for it.
So, please feel free to provide multiple approaches if we can achieve these requirements elegantly in newer versions like SSIS 2012.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ankit

Hello Harry and Aamir,
Thank you for the responses.
@Aamir, thank you for sharing the link, yes I'm going to use Script task to read header columns of CSV files, preparing one SSIS variable which will be having SQL script to create the required table with if exists condition inside script task itself.
I will be having "Execute SQL task" following the script task. And this will create the actual table for a CSV.
Both these components will be inside a for each loop container and execute all 50 CSV files one by one.
Some points to be clarified,
1. In the bunch of these 50 CSV files there will be some exception for which we first need to purge the tables and then insert the data. Meaning for 2 files out of 50, we need to first clean the tables and then perform data insert, while for the rest 48
files, they should be appended on daily basis.
Can you please advise what is the best way to achieve this requirement? Where should we configure such exceptional cases for the package?
2. For some of the CSV files we would be having more than one file with the same name. Like out of 50 the 2nd file is divided into 10 different CSV files. so in total we're having 60 files wherein the 10 out of 60 have repeated file names. How can we manage
this criteria within the same loop, do we need to do one more for each looping inside the parent one, what is the best way to achieve this requirement?
3. There will be another package, which will be used to purge data for the SQL tables. Meaning unlike the above package, this package will not run on daily basis. At some point we would like these 50 tables to be purged with older than criteria, say remove
data older than 1st Jan 2015. what is the best way to achieve this requirement?
Please know, I'm very new in SSIS world and would like to develop these packages for client using best package development practices.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can you identify these files? Is it based on file name or are there some info in the file which indicates
that it required a purge? If yes you can pick this information during file name or file data parsing step and set a boolean variable. Then in control flow have a conditional precedence constraint which will check the boolean variable and if set it will execute
a execte sql task to do the purge (you can use TRUNCATE TABLE or DELETE FROM TableName statements)
2. For some of the CSV files we would be having more than one file with the same name. Like out of 50 the 2nd file is divided into 10 different CSV files. so in total we're having 60 files wherein the 10 out of 60 have
repeated file names. How can we manage this criteria within the same loop, do we need to do one more for each looping inside the parent one, what is the best way to achieve this requirement?
The best way to achieve this is to append a sequential value to filename (may be timestamp) and then process
them in sequence. This can be done prior to main loop so that you can use same loop to process these duplicate filenames also. The best thing would be to use file creation date attribute value so that it gets processed in the right sequence. You can use a
script task to get this for each file as below
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2011/03/get-file-properties-with-ssis.html

with older than criteria, say remove data older than 1st Jan 2015. what is the best way to achieve this requirement?
You can use a SQL script for this. Just call a sql procedure
with a single parameter called @Date and then write logic like below
CREATE PROC PurgeTableData
@CutOffDate datetime
AS
DELETE FROM Table1 WHERE DateField < @CutOffDate;
DELETE FROM Table2 WHERE DateField < @CutOffDate;
DELETE FROM Table3 WHERE DateField < @CutOffDate;
GO
@CutOffDate which denote date from which older data have to be purged
You can then schedule this SP in a sql agent job to get executed based on your required frequency

You would need PSE11 since the 3200 requires ACR version 7.1
Only PSE11 can have 7.1, so to be able to use your raw files with PSE9 you should download the free Adobe DNGconverter which can batch convert a whole folder of raw files into the Adobe raw DNG format which your PSE8 can open.
