Data Transformation File

Hi,
   Can any of you explain me the purpose of Data Transformation File ???
   How to use Script logic based on BADI in SAP BPC? Do we need to call in Default.lgf ???
   If i want to apply some custom logic while populating data using BADI, do i need to call that BADI in Data Tranformation file?
Thanks,
Ben.

Hi Ben,
There is no possibility of calling userdefined scripts or BADI from transformation files.The main use of transformation file is to map data from source to destination.
If you require data load based on some filter criteria there are certain functionalities available for transformation file creation which u can find in the below link.

Script Logic VS Data Transformation File

Hi all,
   I'm new to SAP BPC. I have knowledge of SAP BW.
   I can see conversion file, which we are referring in data transformation file. which we can use for mapping and conversion of external data into internal data.
How data transformation file different form script logic? Are we going to refer script logis in Data transformation file for each required dimension?
Can any of you give me clarity on how to place script logic and data transformation file in BPC data management flow.
I will really applicate all your help!!!
Thanks
Ben.

Nilanjan,
   I have a another quick question...
suppose my bpc application has 5 dimensions. Out of the 5 dimensions, 4 dimensions data i'm getting directly from SAP BW. assume 1 dim, i need to extract by doing look up at different table which also reside in BW.
   how to populate data for DIM 5.
   I got your point that data transformation file purely for field mapping. suppose DIM5 if i want to populate from script logic, wht do i need map in Transformation file. I hope you got my point.
   My question if how to populate a DIM in BPC using lookup approach.
Thanks,
Ben.

How to load several transformation files with a single action

Hi everybody,
We are loading data from BI cube into BPC cube. We are working on SAP BPC 7.0 version and we have designed several transformation files in order to load each key figure we need.
Now, we want to load all the transformation files executing only one action. Which one is the best way to do it?
We thought that it would be possible to build a single process chain, where we would call the target cube and all the transformation files. In this way, the administrator only has to execute once a package that would execute the process chain. We don't want the administrator to execute several times a package looking for the different transformation files.
How can we do it? Is there any example or document related to it?
Any idea out there?
Kind regards

BPC 7.5 NW SP5 - Question regarding Transformation file for exporting data

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to export data from a BPC application to App.server/UJFS. There are currently 13 dimensions in the application. The user requires the output file to contain only three dimensions followed by the amount(signdata), namely
| COSTCENTER | ACCOUNT | TIME | AMOUNT |.
How do i handle the same in transformation file?
Currently i am using the following transformation file but i am having issues validating it.
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
OUTPUTHEADER=*COSTCENTER,ACCOUNT,TIME, PERIODIC
DELIMITER = ,
AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = .
SKIP = 0
SKIPIF =
VALIDATERECORDS=NO
CREDITPOSITIVE=YES
MAXREJECTCOUNT=
ROUNDAMOUNT=
*MAPPING
COSTCENTER=*COL(2)
ACCOUNT=*COL(4)
TIME=*COL(13)
AMOUNT=*COL(14)
I tried to remove the OUTPUTHEADER from *options and tried but it still gives the same issue.
Please help me as to how i can handle this scenario.
Thanks,
Victor

The 'Export' data package which comes as part of a support pack enhancement does not support using Transformation/Conversion files to modify data prior to transport.
Please refer to section 3 (Limitations) in the below how to guide.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Hence your only option is to manually massage data in the spreadsheet after exporting.

Parameters in Transformations file "data export"

Hi,
i'm trying to export to a txt file data from SAP BPC to a txt file, using the standard package (Export Transactional Data).
I have several issues. Firstly, it seems like the dataexport generates a lot of lines containing all the "PARENT" calculations. So my file is perpaps only 30 lines on basemember level, but the final flatfile is perhaps 3.000 lines due to all the calculated lines (on parents level).
Is there any way to "disable" all these parent calculated lines in the export ?
Also i've tried finding some examples on transformation files for dataexport, but can not find any.
Does anyone know which parameters I can use in the *option section of the transformation file ?
Thank you,
Joergen Dalby

If you can access the other machine like a share folder then provide the same path in physical schema like \\my_other_pc_on_shared\new_folder
If you cannot access like that then create one agent on that machine which can access the path and execute your project using the agent.
Thanks

How to transformed data from File to DB but the data to be insert two tables parallel?

Hi friends ,I am new to Oracle SOA ,I have one requirement for the project
actually in these project
1.I have to read three different types of files (Employee info,Purchase Order Info,Salaes Order Info) through file adapter these records are to be store in data base
transaction table.In these transaction table contains WHO columns and payload with clob data type which contains each record in xml form.
2. Now I have to take these payload data which is in xml form and store in the respective table(employee or PO or SO) .I have to call these in dynamically.
so please give me ideas and suggesstions ,,
thanks in advance

Roger,
I don't know about simple way to load data from file into a table using button from your application,
Maybe some piece of PL/SQL code with UTL_FILE or DBMS_LOB, or you can try to upload file to database using Apex "File browse" item, and then do some processing with DBMS_LOB... but it will require some work...
Maybe someone else could advice with some simple method I don't know...
However loading files using Apex Load Utility is quite easy.
You can use something like this to load data to views created on remote tables:
CREATE TABLE local_tmp_table AS SELECT * FROM view_on_remote_table WHERE 1=0;
--load data from file to created table using Apex Load utility
INSERT INTO view_on_remote_table SELECT * FROM local_tmp_table;
COMMIT;
DROP local_tmp_table;Or without views:
CREATE TABLE local_tmp_table AS SELECT * FROM remote_table@dblink WHERE 1=0;
--load data from file to created table using Apex Load utility
INSERT INTO remote_table@dblink SELECT * FROM local_tmp_table;
DROP local_tmp_table;Regards

Need Help Regarding Nested IF condition in Transformation File.

Hi,
In BI Cube I am having 2 Currency Type values 00 and 10.
And for some GL Accounts Cost Centres are Empty. So for these Empty 0COSTCENTER I am inserting a String CC_NONE.
My requirement is to load Data into BPC by validating 2 Conditions for 0COSTCENTER,
C1. Where 0CURTYPE (Currency Type) = 10 only. *IF(0CURTYPE=*STR(10) THEN
C2. Check where 0COSTCENTER are Empty.          *IF(*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE
       then load the string CC_NONE.                            THEN *STR(CC_NONE);
       else load 0COSTCENTER's                                  *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER))
So entire code will be as below to load 0CostCenter into BPC
COST_CENTER=*IF(0CURTYPE=*STR(10) THEN *IF(*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE THEN *STR(CC_NONE); *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER))
For this, while validating the Transformation File I am getting error as,
Command Error: STR(PC_NONE
If there is any possibility let me know.
Thank you,
Hemanth

Hi Hemanth,
But why not to combine both checks like:
COST_CENTER=*IF(0CURTYPE+*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(10CC_)+0COMP_CODE THEN *STR(CC_NONE); 0CURTYPE=10 THEN *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER)

How to execute several ROUNDS in a single transformation file?

Hi everybody,
I've put several transformation files into one transformation file but I have the following problems:
- when I look at the log after validating the transformation file, it only shows values for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION
- when I execute the package for loading dat into the cube, it ONLY loads data for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION that appears in the transformation file
The number of 'Submit record count' is always the same as the number of accepted records of the last round. And if I create a view from the target cube, it only has data for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION.
What is happening? Do I must change any parameter?
It's critical for the project as we are loading a lot of key figures and we must simplify the administration of the load process
Thanks a lot in advance for your support,
Albert Mas

Creation of Transformation File

Dear Friends,
How to map the Dimension with Flat file in transformation file, Can any one please guide me.
I have pull the Company Code Master data from BW and upload the flat file in BPC Application Server, now want to create a transformation file to update the same in BPC.
I have created the Dimension called Entity in that, my ID is Company and IntCo(Property) is Intercompany reference, Both Dimensions doesnt have the property Company code.
But in the flat file have a Company information.
Kindly guide me how to map the flat file fields with Dimension Entity.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, MD.

Hi,
The transformation file should contain the information about which property should be mapped with which source column of the flat file. For example, if the master data is in the column heading COMPANY, then you should have:
ID = COMPANY
Please refer to the transformation example in the below link from help.sap:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/e0/532af2d0804218a59157136bb63a98/content.htm

How to calculate length of the string in transformation file

Hello all
I have tried a number of ways and I am not able to calculate the length of the incoming field in transformation file for my data load. Here is the issue.
I have an incoming string of length 10 and I need to use it to update multiple dimensions which will need first 2, 4 ,6 , 8 characters respectively.
Now in transformation file ID=ID(1:2) works perfect. However, the BW InfoObject will have multiple values as shown below:
ID
Description
AB
Business
ABCD
Business Organization
ABCDEF
Business Line
ABCDEFGH
Product Family
ABCDEFGHIJ
Product Line
ABCDEFGHIJKL
Brand
I want to update my dimension for Business Organization. I need to update only the records where the length of the incoming string is 4. If I do ID(1:4), I will get the duplicate records and will see the ID less than 4 characters in rejected records. The latter is not such a big issue but the former one is as I need to fetch the right description as well. The formula should check the length and then only pass the record else a dummy value.
A formula to achieve this in the transformation file is what I am looking for.
Regards
Gajendra

Thanks Vadim for the quick response!
I am also trying something similar and really appreciate your input here. However, I am not sure if the conversion is really happening.
Here is what I have done:
But the strings <> 4 in length are still passing through.

Load infoprovider in 2 steps (2 transformation files) - BPC 10.0

Hi Masters,
For your better understanding, the background of this issue is that I currently have the planning solution configured and in use in BPC 7.50, in another
server, and on it I have the same ACTUAL uploading process from our legacy system (SIG) working just perfectly.
PS: The process chain to load transaction data from BW infoprovider using 2 transformation files was configured by SAP consulting, since this was a project made by SAP consulting.
So, I am migrating the solution to BPC 10.0, and is better to say "reconfiguring" the solution to BPC 10.0. I just recriated the transformations and convertion files, the process chain (and all its custom variants) and the data package. But in the new configuration, I am unfortunately facing this problem whlie executing the Process Chain.

    2. Error
    3. Variant Configuration (ZGIF_INFOPROVIDER_CONVERT2)
    4 . Error Package
So, what I need is to understand if there was any change between BPC 7.50 and BPC 10.0 (regarding this custom variants), that is preventing the new configuration to work as it should, or better saying, as I already have working in BPC 7.50.
I checked already the variants configurations and the Data Package Script, to certify that everything is correct, and it seems perfect!
The strange thing is that the process chain executes the first Convert (ZGIF_INFOPROVIDER_CONVERT1) with no problem, and it is exactly the same configuration as the second Convert.
    5. Variant Configuration (ZGIF_INFOPROVIDER_CONVERT1)
Should I use other variant between the first Load and the second Convert?
I hope you guys can help me to solve this question.
PS: The transformation files are attached to this message.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Adriano,
I have small question here,
are you automate the entire process...?
if manually running the data manager package, is it successful or abort...?
As far as I know variant comes into picture while automating the process only...
recently we also face the same issue, while automating the process at that time we use RFC system name, unfortunately the user doesn't have required access to perform the task. while doing it manually its successful but throwing an error while running from back end...
In this case the problem with variant so the transformation file doesn't throw any error , its show the validation is successful..
Please check the variant is available or not...
if possible can you please share the log abort DM package...
Regards,
SRG...

Mapping in Transformation file for loading infoprovider

Mapping in transformation file for load from infoprovider:
The requirement is : if Account of BW starts with 70XXXXXXX then use char1 if Account of BW starts with 12XXXXXXX then use char2 in BPC dimension 2.
So, in the transformation file for a load from an infoprovider we want for a dimension to use the data from a certain BW characteristic based on the characteristic Account.
For example if the account start with 70 then use for a certain bpc-dimension u201Cdetailu201D the characteristic of 0COUNRTY should be used, if account start with 2 the char X should be used etc..
Following in the transformation works but the issue is that we have to specify all the accounts individually (+100 accounts in the statement which is not feasible):
BPC_detail = *IF (BWACCOUNT = str(70000010) then 0COUNTRY;str(NO_DETAIL))
Where BPC_detail is the dimension in BPC and BWACCOUNT is the characteristic in BW.
Following statement does not work: there is also no documentation available how to do this:
BPC_detail = *IF (BWACCOUNT(1:2) = str(70) then 0COUNTRY;str(NO_DETAIL))
Is there a solution/statement that fulfills this requirement for the load of an infoprovider?
( so similar to what you can do with the load of a flat file like for example: Entity=IF(col(1,1:1)=U then SEntity;*col(1,1:1)=Z then *col(1,3:6); *STR(ERR)) )

Issue with the /CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_FILE transformation file.

Good evening to all,
We have to export data from a cube to a text file. To do this we have create in the BPC (NW 7.5 SP 09) a package with the process chain /CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_FILE but when we execute the package, we get an error. We think that the error is generated by the transformation file. In the chainu2019s log we can see that the process didnu2019t finish successful, the Appl Source and the clear BPC tables variants are in red and we get this error u201CJob or process BPCAPPS waiting for eventu201D.
Can anybody help us?
our transformation file is like this:

Hi. Thanks for the reply.
We still working on the issue. For a test we run the package without TF but we get the same error. We can find out the variant BPC Appl Source(APPL_TD_SOURCE) is the variant that generates the issue.
When we ran the package the package didn't finish and it get the status get the status active but when we ran the package in an other application the package ends with an error.
The variant log error was:

Transformation File - Usage of Len function in Mapping-

Hi,
I am trying to load the data from flat file to bpc 7.
I have maintained a Transformation file, under the mapping options iam using the following condition
Mapping:
Account = if (LEN(Col(7)) = 4 then Col(7) +str(.) +*Col(5) ; *Col(7) = *Str ( ) then *Col(5) + *Str(.) + *Col(17); *Col(5) + *Col(4))
Iam trying to check whether column 7 has four characters in the first condition, but it does not work and action 1 is never reached. Iam not sure whether length function can be used in bpc and also There are no errors during validation, but when i run this package transformation for the Account Field does not happen.
It gives the message "Argument Length must be greater or equal to zero". I have tried many ways but the same error message is displayed.
Is the above mapping correct and is there any other way to check for the length of a field and make comparison ?
Any quick help is highly appreciated.
Advances thanks !!!!!!
