Data transfer workbench, getting errors do a scheduled ODBC import

i am trying to schedule and automated import using an ODBC connection, i have setup the connection on my PC and have run the transfer workbench manually using this connection and all is working ok.
but i have saved this import to an .xml file so that i can schedule the import, but when running this i get the following 2 errors
"Can not connect to ODBC data source" and "Can not get SQL handler"
the data source is an oracle 11i database, and i say this works fine when running the import manually using the workbench.
I have noticed that the .xml file does not have the oracle database password saved in it anywhere, i don't know if this is the problem or not
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
dave

Error importing Incoming Payments using the Data Transfer Workbench

Every time I try to import Incoming Payments using the Data Transfer Workbench I get an error that the Update Failed - Can not find this object in B1Application-defined or object-defined error65171. I'm using the 3 templates for Payments, Payments_Checks and Payments_Invoices. I've filled them out as I've seen in other postings in this forum. Based on the error message, I really can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Could someone please take a look at my files and let me know what might be causing the error?
I'm using SBO 2007A PL41. Here's what I have entered in my templates for my test file.
Payments file
RecordKey 1
DocEntry (blank)
CardCode 1033985

Thank you.

Hi Suda,
As far as I can tell from the threads you forwarded (and other searches I've done on here), my files are correct. I tried filling out the templates exactly as explained in the first link (see my data below) but it still isn't working. It just gives me the same generic error.
Payments
Record Key....CardCode.....DocDate
1...................1033985.......20081217
Payments_Checks
RecordKey....CheckAccount........CheckNumber....CheckSum
1.................._SYS00000002152..1..................... 78.7
Payments_Invoices
RecordKey....DocEntry.....SumApplied
1..................31791..........78.7
Is it correct that the Payments file should not contain anything in the DocEntry column? (I know that the DocEntry in my Invoices file is the DocEntry of the Invoice). I have a feeling that I'm making a stupid mistake somewhere but I just can't figure it out. Any ideas?
I really appreciate your help with this.
Thanks,
Charlotte

Importing incoming payments using data transfer workbench

Hi experts
I am using data transfer workbench for incoming payments, but incoming receivables are checks.
I am using three templete files
1.Payments
Recordkey Cardcode Docdate
1                 A0001      21102009
2.Payments_check
Recordkey Lineno Checkaccount Checknumber Checksum Duedate
1                       0               161016                1234                11500        21102009
3.Payment Invoice
Recordkey Lineno Docentry SumApplied
1                     0               616000012      11500
In the field docentry i am placing the invoice number ,i did tried placing the payment number as well in both the cases i am getting the same error. Invalid document number for rct2.docentry Application defined or object defined error 65171
What should i do to resolve this error.
Thanks and regards
Rohan

Hi Rohan,
Document number is usually not the same as your DocEntry. Run a simple query to find it out:
SELECT T0.DocEntry FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.DOcNum = '[%0\]'
Also the Date format should be YYYYMMDD.
Thanks,
Gordon

License server in data transfer workbench

Dear All Experts/Gurus,
I have a problem about log on to data transfer workbench (DTW). I don't understand why I must put numbers in license server field before log on to Data transfer workbench ? In the license server field of license administration form, I've seen the license server is words for example jimmymc, then beside it 40000.
I log on DTW, I fill jimmymc in the license server field but I've got error message:
"connection to jimmymc has failed. Error code 100000001. Connection with license server failed"
I don't understand why it succeeds if I fill numbers for example 130.1.2.5:40000, it works successful. What actually the function of license server field ? why could it be different with license server in the license administration form ?
I apreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,

Jimmy,
The net-net is that ... the way you log into the DTW as of the 2005A version is different becasue the overall licensing mechanism used by SAP Business One for 2005 changed from what was used in version 2004. The licensing mechanism now uses CORBA. This allows connection without having to have an IP Address, but you can still use one as you have seen. When you install the License Server for Business One, the default connection "port" used and is defaulted to in the License Server is 30000 ... although you can change this to any port not being used. Again ... the net-net is that is how it works and that is what is now required for connection or use the IP.

Eddy

Round values using data transfer workbench

Hi,
I'm using data transfer workbench to migrate some data, and some values are being rounded wich generates errors in the system.
Can sombedoy please help me with this issue? i'm using sap business one 2005 patch 18.
Thanks a lot

Angie did you created the template using EXCEL?
When you edit templates with MS EXCEL you must make sure that the cell properties are properly configure, because if the cell is configure as a number with no decimal it will round the number, the same goes when the cell is a string, if a cell has a comma it will include double quotes when it saves the excel file.

Issue with Data Transfer Workbench

I have a simple user-defined object of a type Master Data based on a table with only three fields (Code, Name, U_Remarks).
When I try to import data to that object using Data Transfer Workbench, it fails to import any of records and gives an error:
Created Failed, Unknown error - 1005.
Do you have any idea on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
See link below:
Unable to import data in Master Data Type in User Table
I don't think you can import master data type UDO.

Data Transfer Workbench Slow on Large Imports

I am using version 6.5.11 of the workbench, API version 6.50.53
I have a problem with the speed of imports where the file sizes become large. e.g. I am importing sales invoices using a header file and line items file. Both are tab-delimited text files. If I import 2000 invoices, it takes around 1.8 seconds per invoice. If I import 10000 invoices, it takes around 18 seconds per invoice (50 hours). I actually wanted to import around 30000 invoices, but that was taking a minute per invoice.
Another problem is that the first data line after the header line in every import file is ignored and not processed.
Does anyone know if these have been fixed or will be fixed soon?

To import a large amount of items or invoices with the Data Transfer Workbench, I always shrink the file into x files with 1000 records. That's the only to have a fast process.
Apparently this problem is correctedwith 2004 which is much faster. I haven't tested yet the DTW with 2004 as I just received it.
For the bug you have with the line, it occured to me one time too but not anymore and I can't work out why it did that. Maybe, it could be more efficient for you to create message on the marketplace.

Tranform templateu00B4s Excel files into *.txt for Data Transfer Workbench

I have some problems transforming the data files to import since Data Transfer Workbench.
I haven't the extructure of de Excel templates of SAP BO.
What is more important: I'm transforming the data with Access consults, and I use Access for convert the Excel to *.txt files. So, somebody could tell me another way to do this?

Hello,
You can have the structure of all DTW templates in C:\Program Files\SAP\Data Transfer Workbench\Templates.
They are in csv format, but I think this is more easy to save them in txt format (with tab), because you will be able to use "," in the numbers easily.
For more help on how to fill the templates, you can have a look at DI API help (in the SDK folder). You will find the explanation of every column of your templates.

Data Transfer Workbench can copy sales & purchase modules's data?

Hi,
Just wondering that,any way to copy the Sales & Purchase Modules's data from existing company to new company? Copy Express can't do it. But how about Data Transfer Workbench can copy?
Thanks
Regards,
Danny
Edited by: Danny Gan on Mar 18, 2008 5:21 AM

Danny,
How many field from the ORDR or RDR1 have to exported depends on the business logic implemented and what was being used. No one can really provide a standard set of 5 or 10 fields as you know the clients business better than anyone in the Forum.
If the Client used User fields then data from the user fields should also be exported.
The base fields from ORDR would be CardCode, DocDate, DocDueDate, Transpcode (shipping code), SlpCode, GroupNum (Payment terms code), etc.
Similarly on RDR1, ItemCode, Quantity, Price and any additional row level information that may pertain to their business

I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

I keep getting "error occurred while attempting to import file *******. The disc your are attempting to use is full." I have an external hard drive that I moved files over to, but apparently they're also still on my hard drive? HELP!

So you have backed up the content of the computer's hard drive, too?
That usually is a great idea since it is possible to lose use of the system
if parts of it have accidentally been removed or get over-written, or the
main system files get corrupted, when the hard disk drive gets too full.
If you have not trashed the originals of your created content, that remain
after you made copies on an external hard drive or other device, then
that is what you'd have to do to reclaim the capacity still in use by them.
What are specifications of the hard disk drive? The unused capacity
verses the used, in GB? If the hard drive has less than 15 to 20%
free or unused capacity, you could run into trouble. Mine are 40-50%
unused hard drive space, so ample room is available for automatic
Virtual Memory to use that capacity as temporary swap file space.
This is helpful when the computer could use more physical RAM
memory capacity, but doesn't have it. Or if the RAM is maxxed out
and you can't add any more. Virtual Memory is part of OS X and the
system automatically can use as much as is available, but it is better
to be sure there is plenty of resources available to include chip RAM
as well as unused or free hard drive capacity for use as VM.
If for some reason your files in Trash won't go away when you empty
it, you may have to restart. Be sure you have not included any System
files in the content in the Trash, or the Mac may not start up later on.
You may have to boot the computer from the install-restore OS X DVD
and run Repair Disk from its version of Disk Utility, to be sure it's OK.
I'm guessing that by now you know enough about the vintage system
in the older hardware to figure it out, so I won't write about it now.
In any event... hopefully you can simply trash the files, but check them
carefully, & you may need to remove (copy to archive first) even more.
Good luck & happy computing!

Data transfer with some errors on registers. (Novice question)

Hi experts.
First of all i wat to say that i'm realtively novice in BW.
I have an ods object. I have a transformation>Data Transfer Processes>Infopackage to load data to it.
I execute this with a process chain.
well the roblem is that some registers I get are erroeous. That's ok, i just want lo load the OK regs, but when this happens the sistem does't load any.
I want to load only the good registers and be reported about the errors too.
Can someone please give me some advice about this?? I think thje secret is in the error handling customizing on the DTP, and maybe create a error DTP and something in the infopackage.
Any tip to me please?
Thank you!!!

Hi,
you need to maintain some parameters in the update tab of the dtp.
a) set the error handling to update valid records, reporting possible (request green)
b) enhance the no. of error records to the size of the data packet.
c) create a error dtp
Now all records without error will be updated, the request will be green and so available for reporting. The records with errors will go to the error stack and can be edited there. The records of the error stack will be updated thru a error dtp.
regards
