Dynamically generating flat file using OWB10gr2

Hi,
I am trying to generated an XML file using OWB10gR2.
It is achievable to create a predefined file ie with static name or add sysdate into the file name,but can we name the file depending on the Request Id which can be provided as an Input to the mapping.
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Regards,
PHD.

You can define expressions which you might be able to be creative with;

See the post here for dynamically generating target file names using the OWB file operator as a target;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/07/dynamically_generating_target.html
Other techniques also include using a table function as a target.

Problem in dynamically generating the file upload field

Hello all
I am using netbeans 5.5 and visualwebpack for my jsf project.
i have a problem in dynamically generating the file upload field and using it.
I have a panel say "panelA" which holds file upload fields.
Depending upon the count value i generate the file upload field using following code snippet:
Upload upload1 = new Upload();
upload1.setId("upload1");
getPanelA.getChildren().add(upload1);
The page successfully shows up the file upload fields. While the user clicks the submit button, i have used following logic to perform upload:
List components = getPanelA().getChildren();
for(int i = 0; i<components.size(); i++){
if(components.get(i) instanceof Upload){
UploadedFile uploadedFile = ((Upload)components.get(i)).getUploadedFile();
I am getting this UploadedFile object null.
How can i solve this problem.

Anyway,
I solved the problem.
Actually i was using label property of the upload field due to which i got null pointer exception.
I removed the label property of the upload field and things worked as i wanted.

DB2 Version 8 to Flat Files using ODI

Hi,
We are trying to load data from DB2 V8 to flat files using ODI.
Can anybody help me in this to configure server in Topology.
Thanks
Ashwini

Hi,
How are you? Let me try contribute a little...
A)
1) The OS isn't a problem, once you link it at topology will be OK.
2) If you have a fix name just create a datastore to it, if not, there are techniques to got dynamic file names
3) When you say "*.dat, *.cvs" maybe you refer to the internal format of file (record separator, decimal point, etc) all of this is configurable on datastore that represents the file at ODI.
B) Yes, the only requisite is to have the write and read rights.
C) The most simple way is create a refresh variable that get the data in any format you wish..
Does it make any sense to you?

Delete data from a flat file using PL/SQL -- Please help.. urgent

Hi All,
We are writing data to a flat file using Text_IO.Put_Line command. We want to delete data / record from that file after data is written onto it.
Please let us know if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.
Vaishali

There's nothing in UTL_FILE to do this, so your options are either to write a Java stored procedure to do it or to use whatever mechanism the host operating system supports for editing files.
Alternatively, you could write a PL/SQL procedure to read each line in from the file and then write them out to a second file, discarding the line you don't want along the way.

How to Create a Flat File using FTP/File Adapter

Can any body done workaround on creating the Flat file using FTP/File Adapter?.
I need to create a simple FlatFile either using of delimiter/Fixed length. using the above said adapters we can create XML file, i tried concatinating all the values into a single String and writing into a file, but it does not have proper structure
Can any body help me out on this..
Thanks
Ram

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

Idoc to flat file using Integration process does not show up at all

Hello All,
I created a scenario IDOC to Flat File using Integration Process and one without IntegrationProcess. I am able to execute the one without Integration Process easily.
However when I send the IDOC from SAP then the Integration Process scenario just does not work.
I Checked SXMB_MONI There is no entry for the Integration Process.I can see entry for other without Integration Process.
SXI_CACHE : I can see my Integration Process active
SWEQADM : I have activated the Event Queue and Background job
SWF_XI_ADM_BPE : ALL BPE is showing green status.
All syntax check on IP are fine.
There is no Basis Help for me so there could be some additional basis steps which need to be configured. Has anyone faced such an issue with Integration Process?
Regards
Prashanta

Hope this might help you. when u configure an IDoc as Sender with BPM this is how you proceed.
1. let us split the scenario into two.
a. Sender to BPM ( Integration Process).
b. BPM to Receiver.
2. First let us configure the first Sender to BPM.
a. Sender Agreement( Not required ).
b. Receiver Agreement( NOT Required).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service, Outbound Interface, Receiver Service(Integration Process).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface(Sender Abstract Interface), Message Mapping(NOT Required if your using transformation stepin Integration Process)).
3. Now let us configure the Second BPM to Receiver.
a. Sender Agreement( NOT Required)
b. Receiver Agreement( Sender Service(Integration process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver service, Inbound Interface).
c. Receiver Determination( Sender Service(Integration Process), Receiver Abstarct Interface,Receiver Service).
d. Interface Determination( Inbound Interface, Message Mapping(NOT Required)).
So Finally we have One Receiver Agreement, Two Receiver Determinations, Two Interface Determinations.
Please let me know if you have any more queries.

Gopi

Build daily Big flat file using SAP R/3 material master data

Hi all,
I must build an interface between SAP R/3 4.7 and an external application
Daily a flat file must be generated contaning Material data in full exchange mode
(volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo)
No complex mapping, only format mapping (Ex : Price quantity...)
I don't know yet if I will use Idocs or BAPI to extract data. However, I'm sure I must use multiple inbound messages because of volume
After reading documentation, I consider the both following solutions to manage it :
1) A simple asynchronous interface with a file adapter in construction mode APPEND to build flat file progressively with arrival of SAP messages
=>
viable solution ?
Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
(idocs or bapi data will be processed ones following the others )
2) BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
(Unlimited Loop with Deadline trigger correspondint to time I must build flat file)
=>
Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Which solution do you advise ?
Is there another ?
Last question : (more general one)
In such scenario, I can't see XI-value added comparing a creation of flat file directly with R/3.
I will generate a big number of idocs, use a big part of XI memory ...
Can you give me your opinion about it ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean-Charles,
>>>volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo
You have a performance task...
>>>Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
No, the adapter framework has its own queueing, the message would be stored and executed later. If sequence is important, you can use EOIO as well.
>>>BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
BPM is not required in your case, you should avoid becoz of performance task. You can append at file adapter, no problem. Bundling and splitting is even possible at Integration Server without BPM.
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Avoid using BAD words
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Use the <a href="https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/quicksizing">Quick Sizer</a> for sizing the hardware.

Urgent: Problem to load Flat file using DTP.

Hi Experts,
I try to load a flat file PSA->DSO->INFOCUBE using DTP.
I my flatfile in the application server in csv format.
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
If I check the preview: I cant find any data and get the message: Inbound processing of data package 000001 finished
when I try to Load the data thorough PC the load was successfull but only 0 records are transfered and added to PSA:; DSO and Info Cube.
The test file contains around 20 records.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sailekha..
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
Note: As per ur info:
In the Flat file Data source :
1. You have to maintain the Adapter as:
Load Text -Type file from Application Server
Data Format : Separated with Separator
Then Use the "Proposal" Tab to generate the field proposals.
(Only in BI 7.0 this option is available).
After that check the Preview in "Preview" Tab.
Hope it works...
Cheers,...

How to send the dynamically generated XML file to other site for further processing?

I have a question regarding exchanging data between two systems
using XSQL servlet. The situation is descrbed as the follows:
Assume that we have a simple XSQL page named "emp.xsql"
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?-- XSQL page file "emp.xsql" -->
<xsql:query xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" connection="demo" >
SELECT * FROM EMP
</xsql:query>
and we can access it through the HTTP request likes
http://web_server_name/xsql/emp.xsql.
Usually we will the returned dynamic XML file and show it on the
screen. Now the problem is that we don't want to show the
generated XML file on the calling screen. Instead, we want to
send the generated XML file to other website for further
processing, say, using JSP or ASP likes
http://other_web_server_name/XMLProcessing.jsp?.....
How can it be implemented using XSQL servlet?
Any hint and outline of the solution is appreciated.
Thanks

Ike,
Do you have a sample. I am searched so much in this forum for samples. I looked on SAX Parser. I did not find any samples.
Please help me.
Thank you for your posting.
