Create Mapping As a Flat File Source

Hi,
I'm new to OWB, my first project is to load data through flat file to oracle.
step i follow is,
=>Create Flat File Module
=>Create Location Directory
=>Create Flat File
=>Create External Table (Synch with my Flat File)
=>Create Mapping (Simple External Table mapped to table operator)
=>Create and bind table Operator
Mapping successfully deployed and but when i want to run it gives me following Error
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file IPDirectory.txt in FLAT_FILE_MOD_LOC_0 not found
When I directly mapped flat file to Table in mapping it gives another error
RPE-01013: SQL Loader reported error condition, number 4.
SQL*Loader-522: lfiopn failed for file (\\sfs\Analytics\Reference\SIMPLE_MAP.log)
I mention here that im working on my pc with OWB Client not on server and want to load data through flat file which is on my pc or on our sharing drive.
Please help me on this issue
Regards

Hi,
OWB generates SQL * Loader code for Flat File operator, if you try to change the configuration parameter to PL/SQL it results in error.
External tables would be a better choice as it reduces the processing time, disk space required and also makes it possible to use SQL and other complex transformations.

MAPPING USING FLAT FILE SOURCE MODULE

I created a mapping using a flat file as source and a dimension as target, I've already configure both modules and their locations.
When I try to deploy this mapping in the deploy manager, it generates the script for the control file and when I hit the deploy button it says that the deploy was succesfull, but I really don�t know what it did.
Does it put the file in my target schema?, what do I suposs to do next?

Hi,
So,i don't have to manually run the sql loader from the command prompt???
All i have to do is Execute the map normally from the deployment manager and it will load the .ctl file itself.Ok great,i did so but i got the following error:
Starting Execution BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP
Starting Task BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP
C:\Documents and Settings\CORAL 2000\Desktop\Flat filesBM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP.ctl (The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.)
RPE-01008: Recovery of this request is in progress.
RPE-01009: Completion of this task could not be completed due to an earlier system failure.
Completing Task BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP

So are there any permissions i should grant or what?

SSIS Flat File Source not populating varchar column

I have SSIS package that imports flat files with column separator | from "Flat File Source" into the database trough "OLE DB Destination".
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.

I'll be happy for assistance

Hi Yaron,
Does the file stored in local file system or a share folder on remote server? If you can load data from a file in local computer, but cannot load data from a file in a remote computer, the issue may be caused by the Kerberos authentication. In this condition,
check the following points:
Enable SQL Server for Kerberos
Check delegation settings for SQL Server service account and Computer
Add Host SPNs for FileShare Server and SQL Server

Hi,
We are facing an issue while transporting from dev s/m to quality. There is no PSA for Infosource X and source system Y. Here Y is the flat file source system this issue we are getting while transporting transfer rules.We are checked in OSS notes 518426. Its not helpful.

Hi
Try RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL (SE38).
You may also check SAP Note 861890 - ODS tables disappear during the upgrade -
and activate all ODS Objects before the upgrade and run the program RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE.
also that with Stack 14 an extended version of this program is available together with the
Program RSUPGRCHECK. If errors occurs, consult also SAP Note 518426 and run transaction
RSSGPCLA for the regeneration of the RSDRO_* Objects.
Recheck whether you have Exported with correct parameters or not -- Try to Re Export the Same with all necessary objects .
Try Note 524554 and 325525 also
Hope it helps and clear

Creating Map IDs using HTM File Name

Is it possible to create Map IDs using the File name of the HTM, instead of its Topic Title?

While Generating Map IDs, we get an ID along with a Map # for each HTM in the CSH.
For Example, I have a HTM in my CSH with the following Details:
Topic Title - Access Masks
File Name - admpr00001.htm
Now when I create a Map ID for this page. I can customise the Map ID by setting any/all of the three options: - 'Prefix Map IDs with', 'Make Uppercase' and 'Start Numbering with'. But the Map ID is generated only based on the Topic Title.
Like - ebACCESS_MASKS 1000 where, eb is the set prefix.
Is it possible for me to create a MAP ID using the File Name. In this case, as ebadmpr00001 1000?
Hope I am clear .

SSIS : How to create Column Header dynamically using expression in Flat File Source

Hi Team,
I need to keep configured Header Names for columns, Is there is any way to set each column name from expression? or is there is any other way?

Nope
But you could add a dummy row to your source to include column headers and then use options column headers in first row in flat file connection manager.
So suppose you've three columns column0,coulmn1,column2 and you want to make it as ID,Name,Datethen make source query as
SELECT 'ID' AS Col1,'Name' AS Col2,'Date' AS Col3, 0 AS ord
UNION ALL
SELECT Column1,Column2,Column3,1
FROM YourTable
ORDER BY Ord
then choose column headers in first row option

Steps to create Data loading from Flat File to Info Cube in BI

Hi,
     I am very new BW, I need some one help. When I am trying to create info source i am any pop window stating to create Transaction data or master data.
     After creating Info source, I dont know how to assign this info source to source system (which i created).
      When select the context menu of info source I dont have option to assign the datasource.
      And one more thing is When I am creating the Info Cube. I cant understand how to create.
      Please some one help me how to map the fields to Source system.
Regds
Dave.

Hi,
For flat file upload, first you need to create the source system.
Then you need to create the infosource based on the format of the flat file you are going to upload or vice versa depending on your requirements.
Once your infosource is ready, right click on it and select assign datasource. Here you can assign your flat file datasource. Then create an infopackage and give the path from where the file is to be upload to BW (in the infopackage).
Also look at the thread below for procedure on flat file upload :
