Custom code for Flat file reconciliation on LDAP

Hello,
I have to write a custom code for flat file reconciliation on LDAP as the GTC connector wasn't working entirely.
Could someone help me out with this.. How do i do this ??
Thanks

flat file reconciliation on LDAPWhat do you mean by Flat File on LDAP ?
If you want to create Flat File connector then search google for reading a flat file using Java.
Define RO Fields and do mapping in Process Defintion. You can use Xellerate User RO for Trusted Recon.
Make a map of CSV that and Recon Field
Call the Reconciliation API

Custom code for Target Source Reconciliation from a flat file

Hi Experts,
I need help in writing a custom code for Target Source Reconciliation from a flat file to OIM. The flat file will contain account details for different application instances. I am working on 11gr2.
Thanks,
Subin

All right, all right, not so quickly.
I am at the stage of trying to put one dimension
array. But I stuck in one place, this is the program:
import java.io.*;
public class FromFile {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
File inputFile = new File("mac.txt");
FileReader in = new FileReader(inputFile);
int c;
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
c = in.read();
System.out.println(c);
and I try to read: 1 2 3 4 from text file
This is the result so far...

well,
I think I know what's wrong. I must change ASCII numbers into
ints. But I dont' know how to do it. Some nice book, or
tutorial on streams would come in handy. Could you correct
it?.

ABAP code for flat file path

Hello,
My hierarchy is loaded through flat file. This file is present in the application server.
We have hard coded the filename path in our program in the production system as:
DATA:p_fname LIKE rlgrap-filename value '
A0001SAP\PACE_PRD\interface\BI\BO\PYD_PDL.CSV'
Now, our pre production system is refreshed and hence after the refresh, the same path got copied in the pre production system and our process chain got failed as the path name is wrong. Same is the case in the development system.
Please note: The file path is same in all the systems except the name of the system i.e.
For development system, the name is PACE_DEV
for preprodcution system, the name is PACE_PREPRD,
for production system, it is PACE_PRD.
Could anyone let us know, what global logic should be developed so that the process chain runs smoothly in all the systems?
Thanks in advance for the reply.
Regards,
Nitin Chopade.

Nitin Chopade,
Put the path /file name on the selection screen.
parameters: p_output(120).
Then use that selection-screen field in place of the hard coded value.
You can then change the path / file name at will.
or
Change the file '
A0001SAP\PACE_PRD\interface\BI\BO\PYD_PDL.CSV'
to '
A0001SAP\PACE_&SYSID&\interface\BI\BO\PYD_.CSV'
Assign the hard coded value to a variable, w_variable.
Before you use the file:
replace '&SYSID&' in w_variable with sy-sysid

Flat File reconciliation failing with no error

Hello,
I'm trying to set up flat file reconciliation with OIM 11g. I've followed this guide
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/oim/10.1.4/oim/obe12_using_gtc_for_reconciliation/using_the_gtc.htm
and configured the mapping for my fields. When I execute the scheduled task to launch the reconciliation process, I get no errors, but no user is created either. In OIM's output, the only message relevant to the reconciliation that is printed is

Since I can see no errors, I'm not really sure where to look to understand why users are not created. Any ideas?
Thanks,
--jtellier

Looking at your log it is clear that, you are populating Xellerate Type=null. This is mandatory field and can't be null. However, when you create user using UI, the default value "End-Users" is being passed by default, because we have the corresponding field "Design Console" access check box at oim user profile.
Just map the constant value for trusted recon
Xellerate Type=End-Users

When we go for Flat File creatin

Hi gurus,
When we go for flat file creation.Can any one give me one Scenario with example.
Thanks in advance

Hello Srikar,
How r u ?
We go for flat file in some scenarios like,
1. The source system could not be connected to the BW System (here u could generate a FlatFile)
2. If the Customer asks for a different kind of report (in our case we do FlatFile Creation for a complex time management - Employee Working Time is 1st merged with R/3 data, then we combine both together as 1 FlatFile)
3. Sometimes the customer will give the FlatFile data generated by them
4. We also take FlatFile reports from Data Targers, using InfoSpokes
More scenarios are there,
Best Regards....

Urgent: Flat file reconciliation - Clarification reqd

Hi,
Can someone pls. clarify on the below:
I am using OIM 11g version, and i need some clarifications, when working on GTC - Flat file reconciliation.
* I am using a flat file reconciliation for create, update and delete accounts in OIM 11g. Create and update are working fine, but I am not sure how it will work in Delete scenario. Means how to delete a user using flat file reconciliation. It would be great if someone explain the functionality or provide across some link on the same.
* Is that, we need to configure the policy such that when a row is removed from the file, the account is getting deleted on OIM. Is it possible? or if some simpler approach is there pls. guide us on that.
* We were facing issue when we created accounts, with passing employee Type as "Full-Time Employee". On further digging, we came to know its an issue with space.
Since OIM was able to create account via GTC if we pass, a value which doesn't contain any space. say like employee Type as "Intern".
If space is the constaint, pls. guide how to escape the space. I tried to give double-quotes, single-quotes, back-slash etc. nothing helped.
Some one pls help on this to the earliest.
Regards,
Karan
Edited by: user8674642 on Feb 11, 2011 5:10 AM

Thanks for your update. Its really helpful.
I tried with "Full-Time" instead of "Full-Time Employee". It worked. Will test for other scenarios like "Non Worker", "Part-Time Employee", "Contingent Employee" where they have space as a constraint. Any document which states this steps would be great.
Also, regarding deletion of account, is the approach we are following works fine. Pls. guide we are in correct track.
For deletion of account via Flat-file, the below option we are planning to approach.
We created an account with flat file data, with login,firstName,lastName,eMail,organization,employeeType,identityStatus and when we changed the value identityStatus as Disabled for an existing user with End-Date to current date, it was found when we execute the scheduler "Disable/delete account using end-date" the account got removed from OIM.
Couple of guidance required here:
1) Not sure about what is the equivalent mapping field for End-Date in OIM in 11g version.
2) What should be format of End-date i should provide in flatfile so, oim can store in the backend.
Pls. help me in these above clarification.
Regards,
Karan

T-code for delete file from application server

Hi all!
Please, has any t-code for delete file from application server? For upload exist CG3Z, for download has CG3Y. And for delete? Has anyone?
I need to delete file from application server in QA system and i don't want to create a program for this because i will need to transport a request from DEV to QA.

I don't have contact with basis team.
The FM EPS_DELETE_FILE support directory name with max 60 char. My dir. has more than that. I need a transaction for this.
Anybody know if this transaction exist?

You of course need data captured from somewhere to test with. You could capture changes directly from a database and write those to a trail, and use that as a source for the flat-file writer; or, if you have existing trail data, you can just use that (I often test with old trails, with known data).
In your example, you are using a data pump that is doing nothing more than pumping trails to a remote host. That's fine, if that's what you want to do. (It's actually quite common in real implementations.) But if you want to actually capture changes from the database, then change "add extract ... extTrailSource" to be "add extract ... tranlog". I'll assume you want to use the simple data pump to send trail data to the remote host. And I will assume that some other database capture process is creating the trail dirdat/oo
Also... with your pump "FFE711", you can create either a local or remote trial, that's fine. But don't use a rmtfile (or extfile). You should create a trail, either a "rmttrail" or "exttrail". The flat-file adapter will read that (binary) trail, and generate text files. Trails automatically roll-over, the "extfile/rmtfile" do not (but they do have the same internal GG binary log format). (You can use a 'maxfiles' to force them to rollover, but that's beside the point.)
Also, <ul>
<li> don't forget your "table" statements... or else no data will be processed!! You can wildcard tables, but not schemata.
<li> there is no reason that anything would be discarded in a pump.
<li> although a matter of choice, I don't see why people use absolute paths for reports and discard files. Full paths to data and def files make sense if they are on the SAN/NAS, but then I'd use symlinks from dirdat to the storage directory (on Unix/Linux)
<li> both windows and unix can use forward "/" slashes. Makes examples platform-independent (another reason for relative paths)
<li> your trails really should be much larger than 5MB for better performance (e.g,. 100MB)
<li> you probably should use a source-defs file, intead of a dblogin for metadata. Trail data is by its very nature historical, and using "userid...password" in the prm file inherently gets metadata from "right now". The file-writer doesn't handle DDL changes automatically.
</ul>
So you should have something more like:

Again, use relative paths when possible (the flatfilewriter.dll is expected to be found in the GG install directory). Put the ffwriter.properties file into dirprm, just as a best-practice. In this file, ffwriter.properties, is where you define your output directory and output files. Again, make sure you have a "table" statement in there for each schema in your trails.
Problem I am facing_
I am not sure where to find the generated flat file,
even the reports are showing there is no data at manager process
I am expecting replicat instead of extract at Flatfile FFR711.prm
I have done this much what to do give me some pointers.....The generated files are defined in the ffwriter.properties file. Search for "rootdir" property, e.g.,
goldengate.flatfilewriter.writers=csvwriter
csvwriter.files.formatstring=output_%d_%010n
csvwriter.files.data.rootdir=dirout
csvwriter.files.control.ext=_data.control
csvwriter.files.control.rootdir=dirout
...The main problem you have is: (1) use rmttrail, not rmtfile, and (2) don't forget the "table" statement, even in a pump.
Also, for the flat-file adapter, it does run in just a "extract" data pump; no "replicat" is ever used. The replicats inherently are tied to a target database; the file-writer doesn't have any database functionality.
Hope it helps,

How IE works for flat file

Hi all:
As we all know that, when IE gets a idoc's service name from SLD, then use it with idoc's message type and Idoc type to do receiver determniation, what about flat file ? how can we know its Service name and interface name if there is only a flat file on FTP? how IE works for Flat file ?
Couldn't thank you more

Hi,
For any idoc scenarious, you would use business systems rather than business service which is stored in SLD. So the IE would fetch it from SLD at runtime.
For file based scenarious also, you can create business system as type third party and use the same.
Is that answer your question?

Hi,
Yes You can. But at the data source level you have to tick the selection fields, so that at info pack level those fields will be available for selections.

Hi Sabrina...thank you for ur help...i did load the data from cube to ods
steps.
1. i generated export data source on the cube
2. i found the name of the cube with prefix 8<infocube name> in the infosource under DM application component.
3. there are already communication structure and transfer rules activated but when i am creating update rules for the ods..i am getting the message 0recordmode missing in the infosource.
4. so i went to infosource and added 0recordmode in communication structure and activated but the transfer rules in yellow colour..there was no object assigned to 0recordmode but still i activated.
5.again i went to ods and created update rules and activated (tis time i didnt get any message about 0recordmode).
6.i created infopackage and loaded.
a)Now my question is without green signal in the transfer rule how data populated into the ods and in your answer you mentioned to create communication structure and transfer rules where in i didnt do anything.
b) will i b facing any problem if i keep loading the data into the ods from cube (in yellow signal) ..is it a correct procedure..plz correct me..thanks in advance

Custom Icon for application file

I can make director allow me to have a custom icon for appliacation file.
In director I have attempted this several times where I have tried to have my appliaction file have an icon. I have purchased two icon program Candy Bar and Fastincs trying to remedy this problem.
As you see here I am using an ins file created in Fastincs. Now here is an image to the path and the icon itself Applipcations/ Adobe Director 11/3 HorseLogo.mac.ins
So there is the setup now when I complile for my program file I get this.
See the grey Director icon I don't want that I want the three horse logo.
I also tried to assign the logo after publishing the file.
then I drag my icon file in
The program created in director still wont see the icon file.
If I use Candy bar (icon application) I get a different result. The icon works
in both finder and on the task bar
This is exactly what I want.
I works until I try to move the entire package into an installer program I am using BitRock. When I compile the installation program then try to run the application I get the following message
If I choose ignore the install continues. But I have no icon.
I am desperate , weeping , screaming , and almost a lost cause, any help any help at all I could really use.
Thanks
Robin aka innish

Hi Robin,
I'm more of a PC person rather than Mac. I would recommend you look at the Resource and Icon Editor page at:
http://collab.directorforum.com/Resource_and_Icon_Editor
It may fix your icon issue from Director.

Best practise around handling time dependency for flat file loads

Hi folks,
This is a fairly common situation - handling time dependency for flat file loads. Please can anyone share their experience around handling this. One common approach is to handle the time validity changes within the flat file where it is easily changeable by the user but then again is prone to input errors by the user. Another would be to handle this via a DSO. Possibly, also have this data entered directly in BI using IP planning layouts. There is a IP planning function that allows for loading flat file data but then again, it only works without the time dependency factor.
It would be great to hear thoughts or if anyone can point to a best practise document for such a scenario.
Thanks.

Bump!
