DATAEXPORT in flat file

Hello All,
I was using DATAEXPORT COMMAND to export certain fields (some child members and some high level members) but the output doesn't come up in row wise...
2nd thing is if I do the same thing in report script, I can get nice look but the exclude command will not ba available there
3rd: my users wants to have a look for just the current month and not all, so If we write a calc script how I can I get that functionality ...like users will look into just the july data in july month and then just august in the august
Not sure how this could be accomodated in curr member or??
Kindly help..

3rd: my users wants to have a look for just the current month and not all, so If we write a calc script how I can I get that functionality ...like users will look into just the july data in july month and then just august in the august
Not sure how this could be accomodated in curr member or??Hmm, how about filter security or even a dynamically calculated member that points to the current month. Something like:
Period
|_YearTotal
|__Jan
|__Feb
etc.
CurrentMonth = &CurMth ;where &curmth is an Essbase substitution variable set to whatever the current month is. This provides a common place to retrieve, but doesn't show the actual month name, which could be (would be, really) confusing.
Why not set up a report that points to &CurMth? Easy to do in Financial Reports. In Excel, just create a standard report with a WorkbookOpen (or whatever it's called) event that replaces a named range with the string "&CurMth". <--I've done this and it works quite nicely. When the user reopens the workbook, &CurMth is replaced within the report. And the user can see the month.

DATAEXPORT - set Dynamic File name in Calc Script

Hi,
I have a calc script which exports data from BSO cube to a flat file. Currently I have hard coded file name within the calc script which is
DATAEXPORT "File" "," "D:/in/CAPXPT_FERC_*FY12*.txt";
and, for example, I want use the substition varaible to dynamically assign the file name let' say
DATAEXPORT "File" "," "/u11/oracle/OHDDEVD/in/CAPXPT_FERC *" + &fYear + "*.txt";
Is there any way to set the export file name dynamically?
Thanks for your help
Regards,

A kind of intriguing thought would be to use the sub var as a way to drive the file name, then grab Robb Salzmann's CDF to dynamically set sub vars on the fly, and then use a RTP to grab that string. I have no idea if this would all tie together, but it would be interesting to try.
Here's Robb's post: http://codingwithhyperion.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-and-update-substitution.html This is my second in a row post that refers to his CDF -- it is almost like that's my pseudonym except of course I'm too thick to write a CDF.

Refreshing the data in a flat file

Hi
I am working on data integration.
I need to fetch data from Oracle data base and then write it to a flat file.
It is working fine now,but for the next fetch I don't need the old data to remain there in the file.The data should get refreshed and only the newly fetched data should be present.
After the data is written to the flat file can i rename the file?
I need the format of the file to be 'File_yyyyMMDDHHmmss.txt'.
My final question is how should I FTP this to the target?
Please help me on this as soon as possible since this is needed in an urgent part of the delivery.

All you ask is achievable:
1) The IKM SQL to file has a TRUNCATE option, which will if set to YES, will start from a clean file.
2) You could rename the file after writing it, but why not just write it with that name? If you set the resource name to be a variable, (e.g. #MyProj.MyFilename), and be sure to set the variable in the package before executing your interface, you should be able to get the file you want. Otherwise, you can use the OdiFileMove tool in your package to rename the file.
To set the name of the variable you can use a query on the database (if you are using Oracle, something like SELECT 'File_'||TOCHAR(SYSDATE) from DUAL.)
3) ODI has ftp classes built in- you can find the doc under doc\webhelp\en\ref_jython\jyt_ex_ftp.htm
Hope this helps

Loading multiple flat file at a time.

hi experts,
I am having 15 flat files with same data structure.so how do i load all the fileswith out creating 15 info packges .
( say all the files are on the desktop.)
I had seen the option that ABAP code an be written in info package in extraction tab.
Can any one share me the abap code
Regards
Laxman.

You can write dynamic code using ABAP if your number of flat files are not fixed...but if you have to 15 flat files always just creating multiple infopackages.
For code, you have to store file names/name pattern in some table and reading it at run time. You can use function modules starting with BAPI_IPAK* to create/change/start template IP like BAPI_IPAK_START. You can set IP parameters at run time using FM RSBATCH_MAINTAIN_PAR_SETTINGS.

InfoSpoke Flat File Extract to Logical Filename

I'm trying to extract data from an ODS to a flat file. So far, I've found that the InfoSpoke must write to the application server for large data volume. Also, in order for the InfoSpoke to transport properly, I must use logical filenames. I've attempted to implement the custom class and append structure as defined in the SAP document "How To... Extract Data with OPEN HUB to a Customer Defined Logical Filename". I'm getting an error when attempting to import the included transports (custom class code). It appears to be a syntax error. Has anyone encountered this, and, if so, how did you fix it?

Hello.
I'm getting a syntax error also. I did not import the transport, but applied the notes thru the appendix. When I modified the method "GET_OBJECT_REF_INT" in class CL_RSB_DEST as below, I get a syntax error on the "create object" statement.
    when rsbo_c_desttype_int-file_applsrv.
*{   REPLACE        &$&$&$&$                                          1
*\      data: l_r_file_applsrv type ref to cl_rsb_file_applsrv.
      data: l_r_file_applsrv type ref to zcl_rsb_file_logical.
*}   REPLACE
      create object l_r_file_applsrv
        exporting i_dest    = n_dest
                  i_objvers = i_objvers
Class CL_RSB_DEST,Method GET_OBJECT_REF_INT
The obligatory parameter "I_S_VDEST" had no value assigned to it.

Dynamic file name from input payload (RFC 2 flat file)

Hi,
I have an RFC to flat file scenario. The output flat file has not an XML structure, it's just a plain text file generated with abap mapping.
In my source interface (RFC), I have a field called <FILENAME>, I want to use the value of that field to create the target file using dynamic file name. But if in variable substitution I use payload:ZRFC_NAME,1,FILENAME,1 It doesn't work because the dynamic variable substitution try to access to output payload, not the source one...
What can I do?

Hi Marshal,
You can add a extra node to your target strucutre like
FileName- Node
--FileName - Element.
do the mapping from the field filename of RFC to FileName field in u r target strucure. And use this field path at Refrence in variable subtituion.
In the Content converison add the Name & Values as below
FileName.fileldNames -- FileName
FileName.fieldFixedLengths -- 0
FileName.fixedLengthTooShortHandling -- Cut
So the extra field in u r target structure would not populate in u r target text file.

Non English Charaters in Flat file(Note pad)

Dear Friends,
I have a flat file from presentation server which needs to be uploaded and do some validations on that file based on the data existing.
I have some Russian language words in that file. E.g: "ОЩИ В ПОДГ". If this word exists in the file i need to get some other data from a database table. But when trying to check for the word, these characters are appearing as junk characters like ####&^^.
I tried logging into RU language also, but still not working. And also tried changing the file as type Unicode, ASCII and also not worked.
Please let me know how to get identify these words to see the exact russian words.
Thanks for your help.

How can we search data in flat files

I need to search for a particular list of account numbers whose data is stored in a flat file. Each line represents data for one account number. I also need to put all data for the searched account number into a new flat file.
Can anyone help me on this??
Thanks in advance....

I m very new to java programming and dont know what
to write in the code i.e are there any available
methods to do so..or do we need to write a search
logic..That's correct you have to implemetn the logic, but it's pretty easy. Just a loop which reads each line from the file, and looks for the information.

Can we load data in variable screen from flat file?

Hello all,
One of my user once asked me she needs to run a report for some employees, i said you can just type that in employee varaible input box.
She said I need to run the report and I need it for 120 employees, she has the employee numbers in excel sheet.
What is the best way of doing this if any ?
Thanks

This can be done from a flat file, which has list of all values.
If you are using Bex 3.5, then we have an icon in variable screen bottom right to upload values, where we can specify the path of the file.

HUGE amount of data in flat file every day to external system

Hello,
i have to develop several programs to export all tables data in a flat file for external system ( EG. WEB).
I have some worries like if is possible by SAP export all KNA1 data that contains a lot of data in a flat file using the extraction:
SELECT * FROM KNA1 ITO TABLE TB_KNA1.
I need some advices about these kind of huge extractions.
I also have to extract from some tables, only the data changes, new record, and deleted records; to do this I thought of developing a program that every day extract all data from MARA and save the extraction in a custom table like MARA; the next day when the programs runs compare all data of the new extraction with the old extraction in the ZMARA table to understand the datachanges, new records or deleted record.. It's a righ approach? Can have problems with performance? Do you now other methods?
Thanks a lot!
Bye

you should not have a problem with this simple approach, transferring each row to the output file rather than reading all data into an internal table first:
open dataset <file> ...
select * from kna1 into wa_kna1
transfer wa_kna1 to <file>
endselect
close dataset <file>

What is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?

Hi everyone,
when v say v r working on scenario FILE to FILE? which format of file r v usually working on? and what is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?
thanx

Hi,
<i>when v say v r working on scenario FILE to FILE? which format of file r v usually working on?</i>
>>>Many a times it will be a Flat file with CSV format,Tab delimited format, fixedlength fields.
<i>what is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?</i>
>>>We can not differeniate like this..
Flat file may come from any systems, it may be live system or legacy system.
Legacy system- is something like old, or past one. If you talk about SAP , then older versions of SAP can be called as a legacy system.
So it may be a file system, or any system which is old version but it doesnot mean it is not in use,

In my Out put i only see header as HSB9KT.KTPRTO.EBSDATA.D0000000 .
I have added a Variable where i am using SELECT to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDDHHMMSS') FROM DUAL query.
create header (HSB9KT.KTPRTO.EBSDATA.D0000000 #v_DATE)
