Check flat file

Is there a way to create a check for file with header/detail/trailer ?

If you have a file containing header and detail records together, you can sample it as a multi-record type file that will ultimately appear as two separate file sources in the mapping (for example, two separate external tables). You can then join the two tables as you would do with a normal header-detail table combination, although the data is really all in one single file. For more info about flat file sources, please refer to chapter 4 of the user's guide (About Flat File Modules, About Flat File Sources and Targets).

Check flat file column list and column types

Hi guys!
Is there any "easy" way to check if the source flat file column names and column types correspond to target datastore column name and types ?
Regards,
PsmakR

Hi,
There is a way that I already used some time to validate if the data is the one expected into target.
Conditions:
1) The file source must have all columns as "String"
2) All mapping for the analysed columns must be done at "staging area"
How I do it: (oracle way)
1) create a database function (by ODI procedure) like:
create or replace function F$_DATATYPE (pData in varchar2, pDatatype in varchar2, pFormat in varchar2)
return varchar2 as
vDate date;
vNumber number;
BEGIN
if pDatatype = 'D' then /* Date */
vDate := to_date(pData, pFormat);
elsif pDatatype = 'N' then /* Number */
if pFormat is null then
vNumber := to_number(pData);
else
vNumber := to_number(pData, pFormat);
end if;
end if;
return 'OK';
EXCEPTION
When OTHERS then
return 'KO';
end F$_DATATYPE ;
3) Now you can create a constraint to each source column that you wish to validate data like:
'OK' = F$_DATATYPE(my_source_column, 'D', 'ddmmyyyy hh24:mi:ss' ) /* to a date column as example */
4) drag and drop the source datasource (table from model) into package and a E$ table with all errors will be created.
Does it help you?

Errors extracting from Essbase to flat file

New to ODI, I have the environment working - so I think
Using ODI 11.1.1.6.0 Studio, no web services, just the studio.
Essbase 9.3.3 is source
Target is flat file on C:\ drive of PC
PC is Windows 7, 32 bit
running an interface to extract from Essbase outline (metadata) to a flat file (csv) the integration step (4) "Extract Metadata" fails. The first 3 steps are sucessful (drop work table, create work table, begin essbase metadata extract).
The error messages in the 4th step are:

There are no other files in the the Target flat file folder
I did have to add a primary key to the target datastore, added as PK_Sortid on the "SortID" column in order to get the flow to run. The LKM used is "LKM Hyperion Essbase METADATA to SQL.GLOBAL", the CKM is "CKM SQL.GLOBAL" ( the only one showing from the drop down).
I don't know what else to check or change.
thanks

I think I saw somewhere in your post that Staging different from target is NOT checked, probably why you are getting lots of 'loading to staging area errors'. Your staging area has to be able to support relational operations i.e a relational database such as SQL Server or Oracle or the SUNOPSIS Memory Engine. In your interface make sure you check the staging differnet from target and for example select the SUNOPSIS Memory Engine as your staging area. Resave the interfece and re-run.

Non English Charaters in Flat file(Note pad)

Dear Friends,
I have a flat file from presentation server which needs to be uploaded and do some validations on that file based on the data existing.
I have some Russian language words in that file. E.g: "ОЩИ В ПОДГ". If this word exists in the file i need to get some other data from a database table. But when trying to check for the word, these characters are appearing as junk characters like ####&^^.
I tried logging into RU language also, but still not working. And also tried changing the file as type Unicode, ASCII and also not worked.
Please let me know how to get identify these words to see the exact russian words.
Thanks for your help.
Srinivas.

Sri

there is o relation of infoobject name in flat file and infoobjet name at BW side.
please check with the object in the BW and their lengths and type of the object and check your flat file weather u have the same type there,
now check the sequence of the objects in the transfer rules and activate them.
there u go.

For one of the columns (file contains UIDs in curly brackets) destination column is varchar(250) null-able, when "Retain nulls" is set to true complete data have been imported, but when "Retain nulls" is set to false beside fact that in
the file data is not null and it is not empty string it is not imported and in the destination column is empty string.
I know that this "Retain nulls" applies to the columns that contains NULLs but this is not the case.
If someone have experience with such issue please help.
Thank you in advance.

From your statement it looks like when you have curly brackets it skips the value and inserts nulls instead. And that may be the reason why its working fine when you change retain null value.
I would suggest
Make your setting "retain null" to true and load the flat file, then check what happens to the values having curly braces (is there any value or null) , if there is value we need to check for that(please share a sample file). And if it having null
instead of "{value}", I would suggest to put a script task to remove { from your flat file and then try load the data.
Hope this helps.

Loading data to a cube from a DSO and a Flat file

Hi All,
I have an Infocube with fields
product
plant
customer
quantity
country
I am trying to load data into it , few fields from a DSO and others from a flat file
e.g plant and country from a dso
and product, customer and quantity from a flat file.
I have created 2 transformations,
one from the DSO -> cube (which works)
another transfromation does not get activated -- it gives an error msg saying (no source fields are assigned to the rule)
Is it possible to make a load of this sort? If so, then why is the transformation giving that error?
Please do help!
Thanks and Regards,
Radhika

Dear Friend,
Not sure what have you done, it should be like this
datasouce---DSO1--
Cube1
Flat2--DSO(optional)-Cube2
then you should build a multiprovider on top of these cubes (cube1 and cube2 ) and then create Query.
Please check if this is something you have done.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Error while loading flat file into DSO

Hi
I am loading data from a flat file into a DSO. My fields in the flat file are Trans_Dt, (CHAR) Particulars (CHAR), Card_Name, (CHAR) Exps_Type, (CHAR)
Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt, (CURR)
0Currency (CHAR)
In the proposal tab apart from the above mentioned fields 3 additional fields viz, field 10, field 11, and field 12 have come. How did these 3 additional fields come when I don't have any additional fields in my flat file? I've deleted these extra 3 fields though.
When I activate the DataSource it is getting activated but then I get the message 'Data structures were changed. Start transactions before hand'. What does this message mean?
When I hit the 'Read preview data' button it doesn't show me any data and gives me the error Missing reference to currency field / unit field for the fields Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt
How do I create a reference field to the above mentioned fields?
Earlier I didn't have the 0Currency field in the flat file. But in my DSO while creating the key figures by default the 0Currency field also got created which is quite obvious. Now while activating the transformations I was getting a message that 'No source field for the field 0Currency'. Hence I had to create a new field in my flat file called 0Currency and load it with USD in all rows.
Please help me in loading this flat file into the DSO.
Thank you.
TR.

Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for your answers. with your help I could see the data in the 'Read preview data' and schedule the load. I did use all the Info objects in the info objects column of the data source to load the flat file.
The data is in PSA successfully without any issues. but when I executed the DTP it failed with errors.
Earlier there was no mapping from Currency field in source to the all the key figure fields in the target in the transformation. The mapping was only from Currency to 0CURRENCY but still the transformation got activated. As per your advise I mapped Currency field to the remaining Key Figure fields but then I am getting the error
'Source parameter CURRENCY is not being used'
Why is that so?
list of Errors after executing the DTP:
1. 'Record filtered because records with the same key contain errors'
Message:
Diagnosis: The data record was filtered out becoz data records with the same key have already been filtered out in the current step for other reasons and the current update is non-commutative (for example, MOVE). This means that data records cannot be exchanged on the basis of the semantic key.
System Response: The data record is filtered out; further processing is performed in accordance with the settings chosen for error handling.
Procedure: Check these data records and data records with the same key for errors and then update them.
Procedure for System administration
Can you please explain this error and how should I fix this error.
2. Exception input_not_numeric; see long text - ID RSTRAN
Diagnosis: An exception input_not_numeric was raised while executing function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ.
System Response
Processing the corresponding record has been terminated.
Procedure
To analyse the cause, set a break point in the program of the transformation at the call point of function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ. Simulate the data transfer process to investigate the cause.
Procedure for System Administration
What does this error mean? How do I set a breakpoint in the program to fix this error inorder to load the data?
What does Procedure for System Administration mean?
Please advise.

How to skip first record while inserting data from a flat file to BW system

Hi Experts,
In my project we have to upload flat file into a BW system. I have written a program and it is working fine.
Now we have got another requirement. The flat file will have a header record (first row). While uploading the flat file we have to skip this record. How I can do so?

Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

Loading flat files from a server with OWB
I am successful loading files with OWB, as long as they resided on my workstation in the C:\ drive. I copied the files to a Linux server into directories owned by Oracle/oinstall, permissions on the directories containing the files are 777. I ran the OWB client from the server with the following results:

I tried to load the file using the control center from both the windows client and the server client. Can I do this from either one?
I can't import the file in the Design Center from the /u00/data/owb_repos1 directory, it does not show up.
If anyone has received similiar errors from OWB, please tell me how I can fix this. THANKS!!!

Hi
This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Issue with uploading flat file from App Server

Hi,
Im loading a flat file to an ODS.
When I try to load in from my Local Workstation, it works fine.
All data is loaded green.
However, when I try to load the file after i copied it to my App Server, it cannot load.
The error is get is:
Error 2 while splitting CSV data: see long text
Message no. RSDS_ACCESS011
Diagnosis
Error 2 occurred while splitting the CSV data string.
1 = Could not find a closing escape character
2 = Invalid escape character
3 = Conversion error
4 = OTHERS
The thing is that it worked fine (exact same file no changes) when I loaded from my Desktop.
Appreciate any help or input.
Rgds,
Gary.

Gary,
You can load it from the App server. Just check the file name whther you are giving it correctly and also check the readio button from App Server.
Go to AL11 (Tcode) and cross check whther your file is there. See in which directory your file is there. Mention the same path in the extraction tab in IP.
Thanks...

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

Laurent.

I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far!
I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
Alternative 1
I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
Alternative 2
The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
Thanks,
Carsten.
