Data Conversion in PI (Tables in PI)

Hi Guys,
I have the following proposed synchronous scenario:
Outbound:
Proxy u2192 PI u2192 JDBC
Inbound:
JDBC u2192 PI u2192 IDoc
This is means: An SAP application triggers a Proxy, gets to PI and then makes a SELECT in a Data Base, and then itu2019s results are loaded with an IDoc back SAP.
Now, the problem is that in order to load the IDoc, I need some parameters that are deduced from the results of the SELECT in the Data Base (JDBC). Now in order to load correctly the IDoc, I need a couple of tables that are maintained in SAP, that are changing constantly.
The Idea that I had, is that in the Outbound message I should include (along with the JDBC SELECT parameters) the data of the tables that will be used to obtain all of the parameters of the IDoc.
Now my question is. Where and How can I save or store, the data in PI that will be sent in the outbound message? In a regular ABAP table? How can I do this? How can I access this tables in the returning message? I have never used a PI table and use it aftwards.
Please take notice that Iu2019m not keen to use Lookups because the amount of expected messages is huge, so it would represent more message traffic.
I hope you could understand my problem and scenario, and more important, if you have any ideas of how can I work this out.
Thanks,
Felipe

Barry Thanks,
So I guess my theory was rigth, It would be more efficient to use an IDoc insted of a BAPI.
Now to my original question, what could be the best to do?
To search for the data needed in the IDoc (one or two fields) once the message arrives through ABAP Proxy to the SAP Backend System and then load the IDoc from the ABAP Proxy.
Or
To search for the data of the IDoc (one or two fields), in PI and then loading the IDoc directly from PI? In this case, how can I transfer, store and retrieve this data in PI?
Thanks for your help,
Felipe

Date conversion for internal table

Hi experts,
I have an issue with Date conversion.
i have declared my internal table with type same as that of standard table from which im fetching data.
The date is coming in YYYYMMDD format and i have to change it to MM/DD/YYYY format.
I tried using a function Module and used Mask as well . It is working but wen im putting the value back into my internal table it is truncating my conver sion .
For eg : 20110530 after conversion and wen im putting it back to internal table value is : 05/30/20
bacuse of length issue "11" disappeared.
I tried changing the type declaration of my internal table to : date(10) type c.
But wen im executing the code, the place were im putting the values from my standard table to internal, it is giving run time error.
can anyonenhelp me with this?

Hi,
Why not have the date in MMDDYYYY format truncating the '/' part. Doing this would reduce the size to 8. Which can later be added in any field level rotine.

GL Data Conversion from Legacy to Oracle EBS

Hi All,
I am tasked with converting legacy data into GL. I have worked on other conversions like supplier, AR and AP conversions but never worked on GL conversion, so I don't know how and where to start, what are the pre-requisites for entering data into gl_interface table how to ensure that data is correct in the .csv file etc.
Kindly request you all to guide me in right direction. Hope to hear from you all very soon!!! :)
Regards

Hi,
When you talk about GL-Data it is the trial balance to be loaded from legacy to oracle applications.
You can use Web-ADI to upload it ,the check list are
The balance for each account comibnation in the legacy system to be mapped to GL-Oracle code combination balance
With respect to open AR, AP Invoices if the invoices are converted using a control account for migration in GL then
the the balance transfered from AP,AR need not be reversed in GL from the source receivables and payables.
In case if the same account combination are for migrating the balances from AP,AR to GL ..Then the balances transferred from AP,AR should be reversed ..so that it does not affect the TB-GL-Balance
Finally ensure that the balance for the TB-tallys with your legacy system and upload it using Web-ADI ,import and
review and post it.
Hope this points helps your GL-Data conversion.

Ramaa

SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below "Invalid date format" while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

We migrated Packages from SSIS 2008 to 2012. The Package is working fine in all the environments except in one of our environment.
SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below error while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

End Error
But when we reorder the column in "Updated" in Destination table, the package is importing data successfully.
This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

Hi Mohideen,
Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
Hope this helps.

Error while impdp: ORA-02374: conversion error loading table

Hi,
I am trying to convert the character set from WE8ISO8859P1 to AL32UTF8 using expdp/impdp. for this I first convert WE8ISO8859P1 to WE8MSWIN1252 in source DB to get rid of “lossy” data. I created new database(target) with character set AL32UTF8 and nls_length_semantics = ’CHAR’ and created all the tablespaces as in source DB with auoexend on. I took full export (expdp) of source DB excluding TABLESPACE,STATISTICS,INDEX,CONSTRAINT,REF_CONSTRAINT and imported using impdp to target DB. I found below error in the import log file:
ORA-02374: conversion error loading table "SCTCVT"."SPRADDR_CVT"
ORA-26093: input data column size (44) exceeds the maximum input size (40)
ORA-02372: data for row: CONVERT_STREET_LINE1 : 0X'20202020202020202020202020202020202020202020202020'
I checked with select query on both DBs with below results.
source DB:
04:58:42 SQL> select count(*) from "SCTCVT"."SPRADDR_CVT";
COUNT(*)
74553
target DB:
04:59:24 SQL> select count(*) from "SCTCVT"."SPRADDR_CVT";
COUNT(*)
74552
please suggest me a solution to this.
Thanks and Regards.

Data Conversion issue

Hello I'm new to Oracle DB and still learn SQL.
I have a problem with data conversion in a CASE expression.
Example:
select ... ,
CASE column WHEN 1 THEN
select max(column)
from table
where ...
ELSE 0 END AS value,
from     ...
where ...
order by ...
What I'm basically intend to do is to select a value from another table depending on the value of
a special column.
The problem now is that the
select max(column)
from table
where ...
statement in its original form selects the right value as float (e.g. 0.24)which I need.
But the same statement embedded in the CASE expression returns (e.g. 0 ) which seems to be the same result converted to an integer or something.
I tried to convert the result in the CASE expression but without success.
Does anybody know what could cause this behavior and how to fix it ?
Thanks for any help with this.

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a problem, post a complete script that people can run to re-create the problem. Include CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a little sample data if necessary. (A lot of folks show the problem using commonly available tables, such as those in the scott or hr schemas, so they don't have to post any sample data.)
if your problem involves an error message, post the complete error message you're getting, including line numbers.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using, e.g. 10.2.0.1.0.
Sorry, I can't re-create the problem.
I did something as similar as I could to what you posted:
SELECT       deptno
,       CASE deptno
          WHEN 10
          THEN (
               SELECT MAX (sal)
               FROM     scott.emp
               WHERE     deptno     = d.deptno
          ELSE 0
       END          AS value
,       dname
FROM       scott.dept     d
WHERE       deptno     <= 30
ORDER BY deptno
;And it ran, producing this output:
`   DEPTNO      VALUE DNAME
        10       5000 ACCOUNTING
        20          0 RESEARCH
        30          0 SALES

Issue with Date Conversion when loading XML File into Oracle 10g Database

Hello all,
I have the interface shown in the screenshot below. In it, amongst other actions, I'm mapping an XML file element representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.
!http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!
When I execute the interface, I get the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
I'm assuming this refers to the date conversion!
I've already tried replacing SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE( SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY' ) in the Implementation tab. This function was not recognised when I executed the interface, so it didn't work! The date value in the XML file is in DD/MM/YYYY format.
I'm guessing that Oracle SQL Date functions don't work in the Implementation tab. Please could somebody let me know:
1. Which Date Conversion function I could use instead?
2. Where I can find a reference for the methods/functions I can use in the Implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?
Cheers.
James

Hi.
Try to change the execution area to staging area. After You change it, write in the mapping box just SRC_TRADERS.DEAL_DATE. When You use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, not date (as it is in your source datastore)

Error during Unicode Conversion at DDNTF table

Hello
We are doing a Unicode Conversion for our CRT systems. This system now
is a SAP CRM 7.0 SR1 ABAP.
We have performed preparatory steps (SPUMG, checks, updating R3load,
R3ldctl, R3szchk, dboralib, ...),
but when we start Import process we get an error in SAPSDIC package.
The error looks like:
*************************+
(RTF) ########## WARNING ###########
Without ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY the exported data may be unusable
for some databases
(EXP) INFO: table DDNTF will be exported with sorting
(RSCP) ERROR: 'DDNTF' in UMGCCTL: Guess has illegal value.

Any idea??
Thanks in advance

Yes I executed this Report using Menu Tool Bar.
The first execution gave me some errors regarding some tables existing at database level but not in DDIC. We ignored this errrors because those tables are not important.
But the last try, we decided solve this inconsistencies deleteting those tables at database level, repeting report RADUCNT (in this case no errors appeared) and repeting the export with the same error..
Now, we have seen in Tabscript STATUS of SPUMG there are some errors regarding DDNTF inconsistency found at table control. Reason 4. But this reason means that faillback codepage missing at table control for this table. But as far I know, I can't fill failbak field for this kind of table...
So know I'm reseting SPUMG, and reestarting again..
But I don't understand what is the problem
In a few minutes I will you inform about results
Meanwhile is anybody have any suggestion or idea... please let me know
Thanks!

"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
==========
I am having a .net method to remove the wrap characters and write out a file without wrap characters.
======================
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
======================
the .net code is here.
========================================
public static string RemoveCharacter(string sFileName, char cRemoveChar)
object objLock = new object();
//VirtualStream objInputStream = null;
//VirtualStream objOutStream = null;
FileStream objInputFile = null, objOutFile = null;
lock(objLock)
try
objInputFile = new FileStream(sFileName, FileMode.Open);
//objInputStream = new VirtualStream(objInputFile);
objOutFile = new FileStream(sFileName.Substring(0, sFileName.LastIndexOf('\\')) + "\\" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), FileMode.Create);
//objOutStream = new VirtualStream(objOutFile);
int nByteRead;
while ((nByteRead = objInputFile.ReadByte()) != -1)
if (nByteRead != (int)cRemoveChar)
objOutFile.WriteByte((byte)nByteRead);
finally
objInputFile.Close();
objOutFile.Close();
return sFileName.Substring(0, sFileName.LastIndexOf('\\')) + "\\" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
==================================
however when I run the bulk load utility I get the error
=======================================
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 3 (NumberOfMultipleMatches).
==========================================
the bulk insert statement is as follows
=========================================
BULK INSERT Temp
FROM '<file name>' WITH
FIELDTERMINATOR = ','
, KEEPNULLS
==========================================
Does anybody know what is happening and what needs to be done ?
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance
Vikram

To load that file with BULK INSERT, use this format file:
9.0
4
1 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\"" 0 "" ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\",\"" 1 col1 Latin1_General_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\",\"" 2 col2 Latin1_General_CI_AS
4 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\"\r\n" 3 col3 Latin1_General_CI_AS
Note that the format file defines four fields while the fileonly seems to have three. The format file defines an empty field before the first quote.
Or, since you already have a .NET program, use a stored procedure with table-valued parameter instead. I have an example of how to do this here:

GL Legacy Data Conversion

I have a question for the data conversion strategy.
We are planning to store 2 yr detailed transactions and 4yr balances in Oracle system. In terms of the data conversion process, we were also going to take the same method. It would, however, cause schedule and workload constraints. Actually, we have not yet discussed this from realistic view points. In other words, we do not insist on storing all of data which are 2yr transaction and 4yr balances.
Although I believe that we will be able to eliminate a volume of the data to be converted to new chart of accounts from old ones, I am a little bit concerned about a couple of things as follows:
1. the workload for reporting processes
Assuming that we will not use Oracle standard reports so much, it would not be a big issue, even if we do not convert all of data I mentioned above. We will store historical report data somewhere, and be able to generate certain reports using both Oracle data and historical data in the repository. If not, it could cause us extra efforts.
2. Audit trails / Examination trails
If we give up converting the data to fit new system, and that fiscal year has not been examined yet, how should we handle non-converted data for the examination? I am just wondering whether or not, we have only to prepare the conversion table, that ties Oracle balances back to ABC detailed transactions for their reference.
If anyone is are aware of anything you can advise me, could you please provide some information or guidance? Thanks to ALL.

Hi,
When you talk about GL-Data it is the trial balance to be loaded from legacy to oracle applications.
You can use Web-ADI to upload it ,the check list are
The balance for each account comibnation in the legacy system to be mapped to GL-Oracle code combination balance
With respect to open AR, AP Invoices if the invoices are converted using a control account for migration in GL then
the the balance transfered from AP,AR need not be reversed in GL from the source receivables and payables.
In case if the same account combination are for migrating the balances from AP,AR to GL ..Then the balances transferred from AP,AR should be reversed ..so that it does not affect the TB-GL-Balance
Finally ensure that the balance for the TB-tallys with your legacy system and upload it using Web-ADI ,import and
review and post it.
Hope this points helps your GL-Data conversion.

Ramaa

Date conversion logic using function modules

Hi there,
I have been researching in the forum how data conversion is done in ABAP and I found out about the function modules
CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT
and
MONTH_NAMES_GET
It seems that the first function module can convert the date format 06/08/2011 to MONTH DD,YYYY and the second function can easily translate the month names once language SPRAS has been specified.
Problem is I am not sure how I can convert my VBRK-FKDAT with format MM/DD/YYYY into the format DD MONTH YYYY format with the MONTH still dependent on the specified language.
I tried to look at how to MONTH_NAMES_GET FM works and made this code:
DATA: d_return like sy-subrc,
      itab_T247 like T247 occurs 0 with header line,
      gs_spras type spras.
gs_spras = 'RU'.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
EXPORTING
   LANGUAGE                    = gs_spras
IMPORTING
   RETURN_CODE                 = d_return
TABLES
    MONTH_NAMES                 = itab_T247
EXCEPTIONS
   MONTH_NAMES_NOT_FOUND       = 1
   OTHERS                      = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Loop at itab_t247.
Write:/ itab_t247-LTX.
endloop.
The code just lists the months in Russian (which is the language I need). I am just new to ABAP so I am an avid reader of the forum. I hope someone can help.
Thanks,

Hi Dgrachee ;
You can change it as follows.
Best Regards.
gs_spras = sy-langu. "'RU'.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'

Execute SQL Task - UPDATE or Data Flow Data Conversion

Good Morning folks,
I want to know which is more fast to convert data type.
I want to convert nvarchar(255) to datetime2,
using t-sql (execute sql task)
UPDATE TBL
SET FIELD1= CAST(FIELD1AS DATETIME2)
GO
or data conversion(data flow)
Thank..

Itz Shailesh, my t-sql have only UPDATE, not many UPDATES... so it's one batch, no 2,3,4... So.. it's Only one update.. ex: update table set field1 = cast(field1 as datetime2), field2 = cast(field2 as datetime2). not : update table set field = cast(field
as datetime2) go update table set field2 = cast(field2 as datetime2) go.... understand?
Yeah, I understand that you have to update just 1 field. What I am saying, if you have to update millions of rows then you must update rows in batches ( lets say batch of 50k). This way you will only touch 50k rows at a time and not all rows from table.
I see that your rows are less however I would still prefer the option of data conversion transformation over update statement.

ORA-02374: conversion error loading table during import using IMPDP

HI All,
We are trying to migrate the data from one database to an other database.
The source database is having character set
SQL> select value from nls_database_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
VALUE
US7ASCII
The destination database is having character set
SQL> select value from nls_database_parameters where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
VALUE
AL32UTF8
We took an export of the whole database using expdp and when we try to import to the destination database using impdp. We are getting the following error.
ORA-02374: conversion error loading table <TABLE_NAME>
ORA-12899: value too large for column <COLUMN NAME> (actual: 42, maximum: 40)
ORA-02372: data for row:<COLUMN NAME> : 0X'4944454E5449464943414349E44E204445204C4C414D414441'
Kindly let me know how to overcome this issue in destination.
Thanks & Regards,
Vikas Krishna

Hi,
You can overcome this issue by increasing the column width in the target database for the max value required for all data to be imported successfully in the table.
