Change InfoObject value in flat file for Hierarchy load

Hi Guys,
I am loading hierarchy for an infoobject from flat file. I have the field InfoObject (IOBJNM) whose value needs to be changed before loading into the hierarchy. Can somebody tell me how can I do that through formula or routine.
The InfoObject loads 0HIER_NODE and a leaf infoobject values from flat file.
The hierarchy transfer rules does not contain IOBJNM field., though the Hier Structure under Transfer Structure tab contains IOBJNM.
In transfer structure I see only NodeName, Date From, Date To, and eaf infoobject.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Try using the IDOC method while loading the hierarchy and make sure you have this IOBJNM in the external charactersitics for the Infoobect to which you are loading this hier.
Thanks,
Peter

Extracting from flat file for testing inplace of ECC(r/3)

Hi Expert,
Please help me out and give me your suggestion.
We are creating a custom table in ECC it is under progress.
I would like to create infoObject, transformation, DTP and Cube and create queries with loading info by flate file. Later on connection whole provider to table.
Give me suggestion is ther any problem for this Or any good opinion.
Thanks in Advance

Loading from a flat file for testing has worked well for me. We recently wanted to test an ODS object, but I didn't want to create a custom extracter until we knew if the ODS object would work for us. So under my infoSource I created a quick infopackage that pulled some test data from a flat file. We've loaded test data into cubes before. Only problem that I ever had was when I used Excel to create the flat file. Excel wants to truncate leading zeros. 0calmonth for example needs to be loaded as 072007 not 72007.

How to design Flat file for loading attribute dimension in a planning application

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to extract attribute dimensions from an essbase application and load it to another planning application. I have a dimension called Program and two attribute dimensions Sales Manager, Accounts manager associated with Program dimension in Essbase application. I will Extract these dimensions using Essbase outline extractor. After Extracting the attribute dimensions I have to load these dimensions to planning applications using outline load utility. Kindly guide me how to design the flat file for loading attribute dimensions in planning application.
Thanks and Regards
SC

You could dig through the docs and try to figure out the file format manually, or you could do this the easy way. Simply use the Outline Load Utility to export your attribute dimension from Planning. The export file format is the same as the import file format. You might have to manually add a couple of test members to your attribute dimension so that your export file has some content. Then simply update the file you exported, and import it.
(I am assuming you have already manually created the Attribute dimension in Planning, and that you simply need to add members to it.)
Hope this helps,
- Jake

Need Flat file for Message type DELINS

Hi Experts,
It possible to see the flat file for the Message type DELINS ,, If needed means please say how it can view..
Advance thanks..

>My need is to convert the EDI format into SAP.
As far as I know EDI can be read by SAP as Idoc directly without conversion. At least I would try this.
I checked in WE20 /partner profiles/ for outbound parameters there is a tab called 'EDI standards' and here you can define the EDI parameters. However there is no such tab for inbound processing.
What I would do /using transaction code SALE/
- define logical systems
- assign the received to the client
- create RFC port for Idoc processing
- create distribution model with the correct message type
- create port as file
- define or generate partner profiles
Try to upload sample files via transaction WE19 or WE16.
You can try to debug the inbound processing and write a program based on that, which could be scheduled as a background job.
I had a program doing similar, but it was another message type and it was XML based, however the FMs I used are the following:
'EDI_PORT_READ' - read port definition
'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING' - get the file names in the dir
'EDI_DATA_INCOMING' - process idocs
Hope it helps.

Track flat files that failed loading in sql loader

Hi,
Can anyone please suggest me any way to track the flat files which failed while loading in sql loader. And pass this failed flat file name to any column of a database table
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: 806821 on Nov 2, 2010 10:22 AM

Hi Morgan thnannks for ur reply.
Define failed. 1 row not loaded ... no rows not loaded ... what operating system ... what version of the Oracle database ... track in a table, send an email?
Your inquiry is long on generalities and short on specifics: Fill in all the blanks ... not just the ones I've listed above.
even if 1 row is not loaded even then it should be considered failed to load and the name of the that particular flat file should be fetched.
Operating system is unix
Oracle database we are using is R12
track in a table , yeah we want to send an email notificaiton whenever the flat files fails to load.
Thanks once again...!!

Concatenate positions in control file for sql*loader utility.

Is there a way to concatenate several character positions in a control file for sql*loader???
example... field1 position(1:3) || position(5:7) ????
I would rather not create any unnecessary temp tables for a straight load...

How about...
/code
field1 position(1:7) char "substr(:field1, 1, 3) || substr(:field1, 5)"

Hierarchy using a flat file for a master data load.

Can anyone please tell me the steps involved in creating a hierarchy in BI 7.0. and loading the data using a flat file into the created hierarchy? I have seen some posts and weblogs but they were not helpful and i have been getting some errors which i dont know how to resolve.
Can someone please give a clear steps and procedure for this?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
The flat file is generated in application server by executing an ABAP program in SE38.
This ABAP program contains the logic to generate hierarchy.
In our case we used a DSO to store employee & supervisors.
This program generated a flat file in tmp folder in application server
In our case, To load this flat file we created an Infosource on our master data using direct update using RSA1old Tcode
after Infosource is created right click on the InfoSource and click on Assign DataSource.
Give the Source System name
When you open this Info source you can select data source as YHIEROBJ_HIER and then activate the InfoSource.
create an Info Package to load the Hierarchy. Right click on the PC Files (Source System) and click on u201CCreate InfoPackage".
Under Extraction tab give the flat file name which is generated by the ABAP program in AL11.
Select the hierarchy which you want to load. Also, you can rename the Hierarchy after loading it. The update method is selected as u201CFull Updateu201D.
Logic for Generation of flat file & ABAP Program:
Flat file structure:
Node ID     InfoObject     NodeName     Parent ID     Date To      Date From     Language
u2022     u201CNode IDu201D indicates the unique number which defines the Node.
u2022     u201CInfoObject u201Cgives the name of the InfoObject which is assigned to this Node ID.
u2022     u201CNodeNameu201D is the name you specify to that Node.
u2022     u201CParent IDu201D is the Node ID to which the Current Node ID reports to.
u2022     u201CDate Tou201D and u201CDate Fromu201D are taken for time references (You can set them constant).
u2022      u201CLanguageu201C is set to English (E).
The program Logic can be :
Declare the hierarchy structure
Get the data from DSO into internal table
Read all the EMP values into NodeName Field of the table
Build lookup table for Parent Node ID
Fill Parent Node ID field
Append this data to work area & then to another internal table
You need to declare the selection parameter as SSFILE1
& use following code to write back the file
OPEN DATASET SSFILE1 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT
     MESSAGE MSG.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    MESSAGE E008(ZBW1) WITH MSG.
ENDIF
Populate the output from that internal table into final work area.
Transfer this final work area to the ssfile1 which is the desired output file.
and   CLOSE DATASET SSFILE1.
When this program is executed, selection screen asks for the name of file
Enter the desired file name & execute
flat file would be generated in the Application server now.
To view the File, Go to Transaction AL11. Search the directory /tmp. Double click on this directory.
This opens the list of flat files under this directory. Double click on the file name.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rashmi.

To change "package" file format to "flat" files for iDisk

First, let me thank Yvan Koenig for providing a great script to convert "Word2Pages"...
There is a problem at present discussed on the MobileMe forum page, with files not uploading to iDisk using Finder. One problem is that whereas "flat" files load, "package" files do not. (There is a choice in the Pages Preferences for these options.) This limitation also applies to emailling files.
I used Yvan's "Word2Pages" batch conversion script for hundreds of files which saved me days of work. However, to load these onto my iDisk I need to convert them to "flat" files.
Please can I humbly ask him to write a similar script for converting files from "package2flat". I am not so advanced as he in computer literacy and would surely appreciate his help.

Yvan,
Thank you finding a solution to the default setting. I wonder how many Pages 09 files have been produced as packages with umpteen subfolders for things that will never be used. No wonder my Finder kept on crashing when I tried to upload to my iDisk.
I have written a bug report to Apple via Pages so hope they will change the default setting for "Copy Audio and Movies to the Document".
I am puzzled about your Word2Pages script still producing "package" files even after making the changes to default values that you describe. Could it be that the code is calling up old default values from somewhere else. There seems to be a plist in the Application folder and another in the User library.
Is this the relevant piece of code?
on getPlistValue(valName, default)
local thePlist, u
set thePlist to (path to preferences folder as Unicode text) & "com.apple.iWork." & theApp & ".plist"
tell application "System Events"
if exists file thePlist then
tell contents of property list file thePlist
try
set u to (value of property list item valName) (* Unicode Text *)
on error (* Here if Numbers never saved with the new preferences file. *)
set u to default
end try
end tell -- to contents of…
else (*Here if there is no preferences file. *)
set u to default
end if
end tell -- to system events
return u
end getPlistValue
Well I am trying to learn Applescript but not finding it easy.

AR Invoice Flat Files For Customers

Hi All,
There's a requirement to provide a data file with outstanding AR invoice to one of our customers.
In this we are goning to develop a program to extract the relevant outstanding invoices.However we are going to have the following controls as well.
01) Allow the user to extract the invoices an may times they want till they upload the file to customer's suystem
02) To allow that facility we are going to define a process called draft extraction and a final extraction.
03) Once a file has been successfully uplaoded they should confirm that the batch has been uploaded successfully
04) If a batch has been confirmed as successful users cannot extract the invoices again. If they want to do it they need to clear the values populated in the DFF which are anables for this purpose.
05) If a batch has been generated in final mode it must be confirmed prior to generating a new file. Otherwise no output will be generated.
My question is normally what are the other types of controls that you implement in these type of scenarios.
and what sort of information do we need to capture in our side in the extractions.
Thanks,

Hi:
Few inputs -
1. I hope you would extract based on invoice 'complete' status but you may need to include the logic to make sure no change happens on the invoice after your final extract. (Ex user can incomplete the invoice, make some change and again complete it)
2. You may also include some reconciliation mechanism such as # of invoice count and amount extracted = # of invoice count and amount in flat file.You can use staging tables information to do this reconciliation.
Hope this is useful.

Different formats of the flat file for the same target

In our deployment, we use plugin code to extract the csv files in the required format. The customers are on same version of datamart, but they are on different versions of source database - from 3.x to 4.5 depending on which version of application they are using. In 4.0, we introduced a new column email in the user table in the source database. Accordingly, plugin will add the field in the csv file. But not all the customers will get the upgraded version of plugin at the same time. So ETL code needs to decide which data flow to process depending on the format of the csv file to load data to the same target table. I made the email field in the target table nullable but it still expects the same format of the csv file with delimiter for null value.
Need help to achieve this. Can I read the structure of the flat file in DS or get the count of delimiters so that I can use a conditional to use different data flow based on the format of the flat files.
Can I make the email column in the flat file optional?
Thanks much in advance.

You can add an email column that maps to null in a query transform for the source that does not contain this column.
Or else you can define two different file formats that map to the same file. One with the column and one without
