Create multiple external tables from same flat file ?

using oracle 10g
currently create many external tables like so..
CREATE TABLE "XT_UNITS"
"Q1_2012" VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
"Q2_2012" VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
"Q3_2012" VARCHAR2(25 BYTE),
"Q4_2012" VARCHAR2(25 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT DIRECTORY "XE_FILES" ACCESS PARAMETERS ( records delimited BY newline
skip 1 fields terminated BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' MISSING FIELD VALUES
ARE NULL ) LOCATION ( 'xtunits.csv' ))
is there any way I can use 1 flat file (csv) to populate many external tables ?
maybe by section ?

An external table definition relates to one or more files.
You could probably create multiple externable table definitions to access the same file(s), but you may end up with some operating system file locking issues if you're not careful, and to be honest why would you need to do that?

Error while loading data into External table from the flat files

HI ,
We have a data load in our project which feeds the oracle external tables with the data from the Flat Files(.bcp files) in unix.
While loading the data, we are encountering the following error.
Error occured (Error Code : -29913 and Error Message : ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04063: un) while loading data into table_ext
Please let us know what needs to be done in this case to solve this problem.
Thanks,

How to MODIFY A CUSTOM TABLE FROM A FLAT FILE

Dear Friends,
                 I have a requirement where i have to upload data from excel file to my custom table so i have used a FM
'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP' and i have collected data into a internal table , till here i am able to get data correctly , now i hae to upload this data into a custom table .
the flat file is having 6 fields and the custom table is having
8 fields , for uploading the data into this custom table from the internal table where i have collected above iam getting problem . Actually iam using a modify statement to update the custom table .
the flat file which i have collected into the internal table is as below :
IDNo.     Name     Date      Location   Designation Dept
101       Raja      4/12/2007 Delhi      Manager      HR

now when i run the program iam getting the problem   while usign the modify statment is the ID no which is already having
a record as IDno = 101 and manger = Raja.......with the other fields   name , date, location,designation and dept as blank.
if i want to fill this fields from my flat file the modify statment
just filling all the fields for the ID no = 101 and manager field which already having Raja as being overwritten by space .....
becasue this field is not being there in the flat file.
the code iam using as follows.
The flat file is having with the below structure
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_emp_data,
          IDNO(11) TYPE c,
         Name(13) TYPE c,
         Date(20) TYPE c,
          Location (40) TYPE c,
         Designation(40) TYPE c,
         Dept(40) TYPE c,
         end of t_emp_data.
The Custom Table(ZEMP_DATA) is having with the below structure
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_emp_data_table,
          IDNO(11) TYPE c,
         Name(13) TYPE c,
         Date(20) TYPE c,
          Location (40) TYPE c,
         Designation(40) TYPE c,
         Dept(40) TYPE c,
         Manager(20) type c, -- this is the extra field in table
         end of t_emp_data_table.
data :
it_empdata TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_emp_data,
it_empdata_tmp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_empdata_tmp,
wa_empdata_tmp type t_empdata_tmp,
wa_empdata type t_emp_data.
loop at it_empdata into wa_empdata.
move-corresponding wa_empdata to   wa_empdata_tmp.
modify ZEMP_DATA from wa_empdata_tmp .
endloop.
could any one please let me know what i have to do inorder to not get the manager field data not being overwritten with the modify statment , for the IDNo. 101 . I want the data which is already ( manager = Raja) shouldnt not be get overwritten with Space.
please help me in this regard
Regards
Madhuri.

Hi,
use a slect statement before
"move-corresponding wa_empdata to wa_empdata_tmp."
select manager
from ztable
into wa_empdata_tmp-manager
where id = 100.

How can I create multiple QR Codes from an Excel File?

Hi there,
I am currently trying to set up business cards with a QR Code on the back of each card. Therefore I have an excel spreadsheet, which contains all the data necessary for the business card like name, function, e-mail adress,... the data is then filled in automatically by using the standard function with tags for each column (e.g. table column name is filled in as <<name>> in the specific location on the business card and once executed it is matched with the data from the excel file).
Is there anything which could help me to automate the personalization of the QR Codes?
All the best

For free? Not at the moment. CC does have the ability to create QR codes but only one at a time. In CS6 (perhaps earlier versions?), regular poster/advanced scripter Jongware devised a script to prepare a QR code but again, could only do one at a time.
However, someone did build on Jongware's QR code to do this from an InDesign file that had the necessary information in tagged text boxes and would prepare QR codes accordingly. However, it would leave them in the InDesign file (e.g. not separate EPS/PDFs).
So, a long workaround would be:
install the script and read the thread on the adobe forums (jongware's QR code plus the additional improvement): http://forums.adobe.com/message/4787823#4787823
data merge the current data into the indesign file using the similar structure as the fourth poster in that post had written
once all the QR codes are written, create a PDF of the file and then use one of various methods to break up the PDF into single page files: http://colecandoo.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/breaking-up-is-hard-to-do-indesign-files-into-i ndividual-pdfs-that-is/
It's a lot of work to generate multiple QR codes. A paid solution offered by either Meadows DPS or Woodwing (two companies I have no affiliation with whatsoever) or any other plug-in provider for that matter: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/indepth.displayTab3.html may be an alternative that is worth pursuing.

How do i create a new table from a *.sql file in JSP

<html>
<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page errorPage="ExceptionHandler.jsp" %>
<%
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
String dbUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=root";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("\\. addresses.sql");
%>
how would i create a table from the addresses.sql file?

stmt.executeUpdate("\\. addresses.sql");This, of course, will not work.
You might even execute it the same way you do from command line with some Runtime.exec() jugglery but I would suggest you to work with my first suggestion unless someone else came up with something better.

What object do you need to load?
What exactly is in the file (what kind of data) ?
If it is a simple file with few fields, then i think a recording is the fastest methods. It does give you a detailed error log.
But all this depends on the file you have

Creating external table - from a file with multiple field separators

Can we create single External Table for multiple files?

HI,
Can we create External table for multiple files? Could anyone please explain it.
Thanks and regards

to merge 16 files having same structureWell, if files have the same structure, as per the reading of the example from the following documentation, you can create one external table for all your files :

Load Multiple Tables (schemas) from same XML file

Hi,
This is first time i am working XML files.
I have one XML file with two tables (schema). I need to load those two tables into two different Target tables.
This is the startegy to choose tables.
<Entry type="full"> --Table 1
<Entry type="short">--Table 2
I am try to find the tables like this using condition split (Type == "Full" ) but tables are not splitting as expected, is am i going with wrong approach??
Can anyone suggest me to process multiples tables from same XML file??

Hi Naveen,
After the issue in my environment, the package works well that the data in the XML file load to two destination tables based on one column values. The screenshot is for your reference:
To troubleshoot this issue, could you please check the values in the type column? Verify the values have exactly the same characters, case sensitivity. It seems that you haven’t write correct values in the Conditional Split Transformation. They should be like

Create an external table based on an XML file

Hi ,
I am trying to create an external table based on XML file .Is it possible to do in OWB ?If Yes .Can someone please let me know the same .
I was successfully able to create an external table based on a flat file which is of the extension *.txt.
I was even able to load an XML file to a normal
table .How do we do it to an external table?
Thanks,

Hello Manjula,
Is it possible for you to spare sometime to list down the steps to be followed for creating External Table using flat file *.txt?
I am trying to do it but not getting through it.
Thanks in Advance,

Need to create sale order from the flat file & mail has to be sent

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to create a sale order from a flat file and once the oder is created, mail has to be sent to customer as well as to internal user with the order details. I want to know how this process can be implemented and what adapters are needed to execute this.
it would be very helpful, if i get an step-by-step procedure.
Points assured for any helpful answers.
Thanks in Advance
Jai

HI Jai,
You need to create two interfaces as file will be sending the Sales oreder details that you need to capture in IDOC or RFC and then have to trigger to create the sales order. For this Standard BAPIs are also available.
These RFC or BAPIs will response with Sales order details that you need to divert to Mail adapter with the use of BPM and also have to go for Async to Sync bridge.
File -
>XI (BPM) ---> BAPI/RFC (Request)
MailAdapter <- XI (BPM) <--- BAPI/RFC (Response)

If you will use IDOC then In IDOC inbound processing you need to trigger for Sales order creation and then have to send the Sales Order generated IDOC as an Outbound to Mail Adapter
Flat file -
> XI ---> IDOC
IDOC -
> XI ---> Mail
This will be bit easy scenario to develope as compare to using BAPI with BPM

Upload table with a flat file Once - without program

Hello,
I know that it is possible to upload a Z table from a flat file. (without program)
I do not have a problem with this table. I manage a maintenance view (SM30) and I can thus enter one by one a recording in this table and to put it in an transport request(R3TR-TABU)
I would like to enter all the recordings only one (with a file.)
I know that it is possible... but how???
Thank you to help me.
Servane

The only other way I know how to put table entries in is thru SE11 Utitlties>Table Contents->create entries. But this does not allow to be uploaded via file.

Can you create a new table from an Excel spreadsheet

It would be GREAT if there was a way to use SQL Developer to take an Excel Spreadsheet, and create a new table based on it - does anyone know if that's possible?
Thanks,
Brad Blake

Excellent - yes, from the thread on the SQLDeveloper website, it looks like you will be able to create a new table from an .xls file - very cool!
Does anyone know when version 1.1 is supposed to be coming out?

BAPI_PO_CREATE1 not able to create PO's for multiple rows from the flat fil

Hi
i am uploading PO's from a flat file into SAP using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1. Everything works fine if the flat file hast only one record.
if the flat file has more than one record then while loading the second record the BAPI returns a error message. I am calling the BAPI in a loop.
The strange thing is that if i load the second record individually the program is able to create the PO. So only when i have multiple records in the flat file i am unable to load the PO into SAP. I debugged and checked all the internal tables passed to the BAPI. All seems to have the data correctly but still the BAPI fails.
any idea where i am going wrong?
the code looks something like this.
LOOP AT HEADER_ITAB.
   PERFORM FILL_HEADER_RECORDS.
LOOP AT ITEM_ITAB WHERE EBELN eq HEADER_ITAB-EBELN.
     PERFORM FILL_ITEM_RECORDS.
ENDLOOP.
PERFORM CERATE_PO_VIA_BAPI.
ENDLOOP.

What is the error message. Are you trying something like this:
    LOOP AT T_DATA1.
      AT NEW LIFNR.
        READ TABLE T_DATA1 INDEX SY-TABIX.
        PERFORM INIT_TABLES.
