Delta loading throgh flat file in 7.0

I am loading data from flat file in to cube I am working on 7.0,first I am loading data in to PSA & from PSA to cube using DTP
Now I want to know whenever we load data for the first time we select the option full update in DTP
When I am loading the data for the second time even I can see full update option
Again in psa if I am loading data from another file then then it fine & from psa to datatargets when I am loading through DTp again my DTP is selecting 2 data packages of PSA first & second one but I wan t only to take the 2nd datapackage i.e delata
How can this be done
Even I have slected the option delta update in DTp

Hi,
In BI 7.0 , U can not select a particular request from PSA and update it to DTP.
Whenever you are trying to laod the data , make sure that You have deleted all requests from PSA.
If you will not delete the request from PSA, it will take all previouos records and update it to DTP which will give you wrong results.

How to Delta Update in Flat Files

Hi all,
I would like to know is delta update is supported in flat files ? If yes how does this work ..... is there a SAP white paper or document on this
Thanks
Nathan

Hi......
Yes Delta upload is supported by Flat files..........In this case........when the delta data records are loaded by flat file......... This delta type is only used is 'F'.......for DataSources for flat file source systems. Flat files are imported to the PSA when you execute the InfoPackage. The staging process then begins.........The delta queue is not used here.
As Siggi already told in the Following thread......post your flatfile data to an ods object with update mode overwrite. The ods object will do the delta for you then.........

Delta Upload for Flat File

Hello Everyone
i am srikanth. i would like to know wheather do we have a facility for Delta Upload for flat file. If yes can u please give me the steps.
thanks in advance
srikanth

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

Delta updates via Flat Files

Hello Guys,
We need to define the structure of the flat files we'll receive from our ETL team to specify how we'll manage the updates of the records we already loaded into BW.
We'll load those flat files through PSA then into an ODS that will feed an InfoCube. The records can contain new or modified characteristics and/or key figures.
I read a lot of documentation about deltas but I didn't find a clear answer regarding this subject for flat files:
Do we need to specify, for every single record in the flat files, if a record is either a new one, a modified one or a deleted one, or can the ODS figure that out by itself? I guess it can't (at least for the deletion part) so do we have to add an additional field to flag what type of modification (new, modif or delete) a record belongs to?
If we do have to add that information, can I just use ' ' for a new record, 'N' for a modified record and 'D' for a deleted record?
Thank you in advance (and don't worry, I'll reward you).
best regards,
SF

Hi Sebastien.
The answer really depends on what you types of records you are working with. If your record has a well-defined key (like a document number) and your ETL team gives you after-images of the changed records, you can set your ODS Object up with the same key and use Update Rules set to Overwrite. Then, the ODS Object change log will automatically provide delta-compatible updates to the InfoCubes.
hope that helps.

Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5

Hi Experts,
                   Kindly give me the detailed steps with screens about Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5
       ...............Please

Hi ,
Procedure
You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the DataSource tree.
       1.      Select the application components in which you want to create the DataSource and choose Create DataSource.
       2.      On the next screen, enter a technical name for the DataSource, select the type of DataSource and choose Copy.
The DataSource maintenance screen appears.
       3.      Go to the General tab page.
                            a.      Enter descriptions for the DataSource (short, medium, long).
                            b.      As required, specify whether the DataSource builds an initial non-cumulative and can return duplicate data records within a request.
                            c.      Specify whether you want to generate the PSA for the DataSource in the character format. If the PSA is not typed it is not generated in a typed structure but is generated with character-like fields of type CHAR only.
Use this option if conversion during loading causes problems, for example, because there is no appropriate conversion routine, or if the source cannot guarantee that data is loaded with the correct data type.
In this case, after you have activated the DataSource you can load data into the PSA and correct it there.
       4.      Go to the Extraction tab page.
                            a.      Define the delta process for the DataSource.
                            b.      Specify whether you want the DataSource to support direct access to data.
                            c.      Real-time data acquisition is not supported for data transfer from files.
                            d.      Select the adapter for the data transfer. You can load text files or binary files from your local work station or from the application server.
Text-type files only contain characters that can be displayed and read as text. CSV and ASCII files are examples of text files. For CSV files you have to specify a character that separates the individual field values. In BI, you have to specify this separator character and an escape character which specifies this character as a component of the value if required. After specifying these characters, you have to use them in the file. ASCII files contain data in a specified length. The defined field length in the file must be the same as the assigned field in BI.
Binary files contain data in the form of Bytes. A file of this type can contain any type of Byte value, including Bytes that cannot be displayed or read as text. In this case, the field values in the file have to be the same as the internal format of the assigned field in BI.
Choose Properties if you want to display the general adapter properties.
                            e.      Select the path to the file that you want to load or enter the name of the file directly, for example C:/Daten/US/Kosten97.csv.
You can also create a routine that determines the name of your file. If you do not create a routine to determine the name of the file, the system reads the file name directly from the File Name field.
                              f.      Depending on the adapter and the file to be loaded, make further settings.
■       For binary files:
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
■       Text-type files:
Specify how many rows in your file are header rows and can therefore be ignored when the data is transferred.
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
For ASCII files:
If you are loading data from an ASCII file, the data is requested with a fixed data record length.
For CSV files:
If you are loading data from an Excel CSV file, specify the data separator and the escape character.
Specify the separator that your file uses to divide the fields in the Data Separator field.
If the data separator character is a part of the value, the file indicates this by enclosing the value in particular start and end characters. Enter these start and end characters in the Escape Charactersfield.
You chose the; character as the data separator. However, your file contains the value 12;45 for a field. If you set u201C as the escape character, the value in the file must be u201C12;45u201D so that 12;45 is loaded into BI. The complete value that you want to transfer has to be enclosed by the escape characters.
If the escape characters do not enclose the value but are used within the value, the system interprets the escape characters as a normal part of the value. If you have specified u201C as the escape character, the value 12u201D45 is transferred as 12u201D45 and 12u201D45u201D is transferred as 12u201D45u201D.
In a text editor (for example, Notepad) check the data separator and the escape character currently being used in the file. These depend on the country version of the file you used.
Note that if you do not specify an escape character, the space character is interpreted as the escape character. We recommend that you use a different character as the escape character.
If you select the Hex indicator, you can specify the data separator and the escape character in hexadecimal format. When you enter a character for the data separator and the escape character, these are displayed as hexadecimal code after the entries have been checked. A two character entry for a data separator or an escape sign is always interpreted as a hexadecimal entry.
                            g.      Make the settings for the number format (thousand separator and character used to represent a decimal point), as required.
                            h.      Make the settings for currency conversion, as required.
                              i.      Make any further settings that are dependent on your selection, as required.
       5.      Go to the Proposal tab page.
This tab page is only relevant for CSV files. For files in different formats, define the field list on the Fields tab page.
Here you create a proposal for the field list of the DataSource based on the sample data from your CSV file.
                            a.      Specify the number of data records that you want to load and choose Upload Sample Data.
The data is displayed in the upper area of the tab page in the format of your file.
The system displays the proposal for the field list in the lower area of the tab page.
                            b.      In the table of proposed fields, use Copy to Field List to select the fields you want to copy to the field list of the DataSource. All fields are selected by default.
       6.      Go to the Fields tab page.
Here you edit the fields that you transferred to the field list of the DataSource from the Proposal tab page. If you did not transfer the field list from a proposal, you can define the fields of the DataSource here.
                            a.      To define a field, choose Insert Row and specify a field name.
                            b.      Under Transfer, specify the decision-relevant DataSource fields that you want to be available for extraction and transferred to BI.
                            c.      Instead of generating a proposal for the field list, you can enter InfoObjects to define the fields of the DataSource. Under Template InfoObject, specify InfoObjects for the fields in BI. This allows you to transfer the technical properties of the InfoObjects into the DataSource field.
Entering InfoObjects here does not equate to assigning them to DataSource fields. Assignments are made in the transformation. When you define the transformation, the system proposes the InfoObjects you entered here as InfoObjects that you might want to assign to a field.
                            d.      Change the data type of the field if required.
                            e.      Specify the key fields of the DataSource.
These fields are generated as a secondary index in the PSA. This is important in ensuring good performance for data transfer process selections, in particular with semantic grouping.
                              f.      Specify whether lowercase is supported.
                            g.      Specify whether the source provides the data in the internal or external format.
                            h.      If you choose the external format, ensure that the output length of the field (external length) is correct. Change the entries, as required.
                              i.      If required, specify a conversion routine that converts data from an external format into an internal format.
                              j.      Select the fields that you want to be able to set selection criteria for when scheduling a data request using an InfoPackage. Data for this type of field is transferred in accordance with the selection criteria specified in the InfoPackage.
                            k.      Choose the selection options (such as EQ, BT) that you want to be available for selection in the InfoPackage.
                              l.      Under Field Type, specify whether the data to be selected is language-dependent or time-dependent, as required.
       7.      Check, save and activate the DataSource.
       8.      Go to the Preview tab page.
If you select Read Preview Data, the number of data records you specified in your field selection is displayed in a preview.
This function allows you to check whether the data formats and data are correct.

Loading of flat file (csv) into PSA – no data loaded

Hi BW-gurus,
We have an issue regarding loading a flat file (csv) into PSA using an infopackage u2013 (BI 7.0)
The infopackage has been used for a while. Prior the consultants with SAP_ALL-profile have run the infopackage. Now we want a few super users to run the infopackage.
We have created a role for the super users, including authorization objects:
Data Warehousing objects: S_RS_ADMWB
Activity: 03, 16, 23, 63, 66
Data Warehousing Workbench obj: INFOAREA, INFOOBJECT, INFOPACKAG, MONITOR, SOURCESYS, WORKBENCH
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 datasource (version > BW 3.x): S_RS_DS
Activity: All
Datasource: All
Subobject for New DataSource: All
Sourcesystem: FILE
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 infosource (flex update): S_RS_ISOUR
Activity: Display, Maintain, Request
Application Component: All
InfoSource: All
InfoSource Subobject: All values
As mentioned, the infopackage in question, has been used by consultants with SAP_ALL-profile for some time, and been working just fine. When the super users with the new role are executing the infopackage, the records are found, but not loaded into PSA. The load seems to be stuck, but no error message occurs. The file we are trying to load contains only 15 records.
Details monitor:
Overall status: Missing messages or warnings (yellow)
Requests (messages): Everything ok (green)
-> Data request arranged (green)
-> Confirmed with: OK (green)
Extraction (messages): Errors occurred (yellow)
-> Data request received (green)
-> Data selection scheduled (green)
-> 15 Records sent (0 Records received) (yellow)
-> Data selection ended (green)
Transfer (IDocs and TRFC): Missing messages (yellow)
Processing (data packet): Warnings received (yellow)
-> Data package 1 (? Records): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Inbound processing (0 records): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Update PSA (0 Records posted): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Processing end: Missing messages (yellow)
Have we forgotten something? Any assistance will be highly appreciated!

Hi,
Try to use the transaction ST01 to trace the authorization of the upload with the SAP_ALL.
And the enhance your Profile for the super user.

Load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAP GUI

Hi,
We are using BW BPS 3.5 version, i implemented how to guide " How to load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAP GUI" successfully without any errors.
I inlcuded three infoobjects in the text file   costelemt, Posting period and amount. the same three infoobjects i inlcuded the file structure in the global data as specified in the how to document
The flat file format is like this

I successfully loaded above flat file in to BPS cube and it dispalyed in the layout also.
But users are requesting to load flatfile in the below format
Costelmnt        Annual(PP=#)   Jan(PP=1)   Feb(PP=2) ........................................Dec(PP=12)
XXXXX              Blank                       100           800                                                   900
Is it possible to load a flat file like this
They wants load a single row instead of 13 rows for each costelement
How to do this. Please suggest me if anybody accorss this requirment.
In the infocube we have got only one Info object 0FISCPER3(Posting period) and one 0AMOUNT(Amount)
do we need 13 Infobjects for each posting period and amount.
Is there any possiblity we can implement any user exit which we use in BEX Quer's
Please share your ideas on this.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
SS

Hi,
There are 2 ways to do this.
One is to change the structure of the cube to have 12 key figures for the 12 posting periods.
Another way is to write an ABAP Function Module to fetch the values from each record based on the posting period and store it in the cube for the corresponding characteristic. This way, you dont have to change the structure of the cube.
If this particular cube is not used anywhere else, I would suggest to change the structure itself.
Hope this helps.

How can we load a flat file with very, very long lines into a table?

Hello:
We have to load a flat file with OWB. The problem is that each of the lines in the file might be up to 30.000 characters long (up to 1.000 units of information in each line, 30 characters long each)
Of course, our mapping should insert these units of information as independent rows in a table (1.000 rows, in our example).
We do not know how to go about it. We usually load flat files using table functions, but we am not sure that they will be able to cope with these huge lines. And how should we pivot those lines? Will the Pivot operator do the trick? Or maybe we should pivot those lines outside the database before loading them?
We are a bit lost. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards

Edited by: [email protected] on Oct 29, 2008 8:44 AM

Yes, well, we could define a 1.000 column external table, and then map those 1.000 columns to the Pivot operator… perhaps it would work. But we have been investigating a little bit, and we think that we have found a better solution: there is a unix utility called “fold”. This utility can split our 30.000 character lines in 1.000 lines, 30 characters long each: just what we needed. Then we can load the resulting file using an external table.
We think this is a much better solution that handling 1.000 columns in the external table and in the Pivot operator.
Thanks for your help.

How to load a flat file with lot of records

Hi,
I am trying to load a flat file with hundreds of records into an apps table. when i create the process and deploy it onto the console it asks for an input in an html form. why does it ask for an input when i have specified the input file directory in my process? is there any way around tis where in it just reads all the records from the flat file directly??is custom queues anyway related to what I am about to do?any documents on this process will be greatly appreciated.If any one can help me on this it will be great. thank you guys....

After deploying it, do you see if it is active and the status is on from the BPEL console BPEL Process tab? It should not come up to ask for input unless you are clicking it from the Dashboard tab. Do not click it from the Dashboard. Instead you should put some files into the input driectory. Wait few seconds you should see the instances of the BPEL process is created and start to process the files asynchrously.

Hello Jens,
you have to process the InfoPackage 239 times. Your routine would be executed once during one processing of the InfoPackage. This would run the WHILE statement and end up with the last filename after 239 iterations.
Either try to concatenate the files you want to load (if possible) and load them in one go. Alternatively you could try to use a process chain to run the InfoPackage 239 times.
Kind regards,
Christoph

Error when loading a flat file

Hello,
I am trying to load a flat file into our BW for the first time. I keep getting the error:
Error 1 when loading external data
Message no. RSAR234
I have search SDN and looked at the OSS notes and have tried several suggestions, but I still cannot get the file to load. We are currently on version 3.5.
My transfer structure and flat file do match.
My transfer structure for IO_MAT_ATTR has a transfer method of PSA and is laid out as follows:
IO_MAT Material Number IO_MAT
IO_MATNM Material Name IO_MATNM
IO_MAT is: CHAR 15
IO_MATNM is: CHAR 30
My flat file is saved as a CSV and is as follows:
MATONE,TEA
MATTWO,COFFEE
My file is saved on my local PC and is not open when I try to load it. When I attempt to preview the file in my infopackage, I get the same error there as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Charla

Hi Charla,
Error 1 means that the system is unable to access the file. Make sure that the path is correct and also check if the data separator is correctly defined in the "external tab" of the infopackage.
I guess the settings in the "external tab" of the infopackage have some issues.
Bye
Dinesh

Error while loading CSV Flat file

Hi,
I am getting the following errors while loading a flat file into the DataSource:
1. Error 'Unit CS is not created in language EN...' at conversion exit CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT (field UNIT record 1, value CS)
2. Error 'The argument '9,018.00' cannot be interpreted as anumber' on assignment field /BIC/ZTVSA record 1 value 9,018.00
What can I do to correct this?
Thanks

I am taking the following (Headers) fields in this order in a CSV file :
0LOGSYS ,0MATERIAL,0UNIT,0BASE_UOM,0COMP_CODE,0PLANT,0FISCPER,0FISCVARNT,
0CURRENCY,0PRICE_TYPE,ZTVSAKF,ZVOTVSKF,0PRICE_CTRL,ZPRICE_STKF,0PRICE_BASE,
0VAL_CLASS,0CURTYPE,0VALUATION
I have added all these fields in the DataSource as well. T-Code CUNIT has CS as a Unit.
I deleted and recreated the DataSource and am getting this error now:
Error 'Unit CS is not created in language EN...' at conversion exit CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT (field UNIT record 1, value CS)
Error 'The argument '1,398.00' cannot be interpreted asa number' on assignment field /BIC/ZTVSAKF record 1 value 1,398.00
Error 'The argument '8,10.00' cannot be interpreted as anumber' on assignment field /BIC/ZTVSKF record 1 value 8,10.00
Error 'Unit 0 is not created in language EN...' at conversion exit CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT (field BASE_UOM record 1, value )
Error 'Unit CS is not created in language EN...' at conversion exit CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT (field UNIT record 1, value CS)
Error 'The argument '5,50.00' cannot be interpreted as anumber' on assignment field /BIC/ZTVSAKF record 1 value 5,50.00
Does it matter what order the columns are in?
