Dear all,

From your experience in the previous projects, who can be responsible from editing or uploading these documents?

If you want to maintain in the Application server ask basis they will provide you the path name then you have upload every day according to your changed in the data file..for that also we have mechanism plz go through it,.

  • How to edit flat file in application server

    Hi all,
    I have requirment of flat file load. User will update flat file and I need to upload data in cube. I am done with loading data from application server flat file to cube Now I want to know where this file will be stored so user can update the data .
    Do i need to store it some where in application sever only ? I checked my current file data but it's not in editable form.
    Please let me know your expert suggestion.
    Thanks.
    P.S. - Point will be provided as required.

    Neither user or you can not upload or edit the CSV files directly from the AL11(Application level directories).
    Using this Functional Module: ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER you can upload the file from your machine to AL11
    Note: you must have an authorization to execute this FM in PRD! otherwise you can follow the below procedure.
    (Or)
    As you data flow is from a flat file, you can ask your basis team to run a FTP program, so that when ever user give a new file every day, using the FTP program the latest file will upload into the AL11 directories. you can execute data using the Info package as usual  from AL11.

  • Creation of Flat file in Application Server

    Hi,
    Can you please clarify what is Logical file path and Physical file pathe.
    Also how to create a flat file in Application Server with Logical and Physical file paths.
    Thanks

    Hi Yasaswini,
    Physical file is what you see from the OS level.
    Logical file is what ABAP code can call certain functions to read/write.
    Transaction FILE would link them together. Typically the logical path ends with "<FILENAME>", and the logical file refers to the logical path. You can check the help for more info.

  • Logical path for getting a Flat file from application server

    Hi All,
    We have loaded some .csv files to application server, what is the logical path we have to mention in the infopackage scheduler screen? please guide me how to give the path for getting a flat file from application server.
    Thanks,
    Sairam.

    Hi Sairam,
    I hope you know which location you have saved in the Application server.
    Now if you go to the Infopackage and click on the "External Data" tab, there you will see Radio Buttons for
    1) Client Workstation
    2) Application Server
    Choose the second radio button, then in the Field "Name of the File" you will be able to use the F4 help and browse AL11 transaction through this option. You can then choose the File.
    Hope this helps

  • Editing text file on application server

    Hello,
    I have created a utility in which I can move files from one folder to another. Now we also need a option by which I can edit text file on the server folders. Is there a function module by which I can edit text from application server ?
    Regards,
    Rajesh.

    With OPEN DATASET and READ you can load them into an internal table. Next put them on screen in lets say the text editor (enjoy SAP Controls). This is one way of doing this, other way would be:
    Upload data with OPEN DATASET into internal table, download file to local drive (cl_gui_frontendservices=>gui_download), open it with notepad (for example) edit it and save. Next upload file into your program (cl_gui_frontendservices=>gui_upload) and download it to server again (OPEN DATASET and TRANSFER).
    If available you can also use transaction CG3Z and CG3Y.

  • Field Values being changed in the flat file on Application Server

    Hi All,
    I am loading a flat file(.CSV) from Application server. The file has some characteristic fields, for ex: CNUM of type Char, length 20. But it has got the value which is of 10 char length, say XYZ1234XAB. When I load the same fiel from client workstation, the load was successful but when I load it from Application server, the load has failed and the error is Invalid/Hex. characteristics for this record and many such records.
    When I checked the file on the application server the value 'XYZ1234XAB' is being displayed as 'XYZ1234XAB   #' and it is also being loaded with '#'. This is the cause of the error.
    Why is the value being changed on the application server? What can I do to overcome this?
    Thanks,
    RPK.

    Hi Ganesh,
    I have already loaded data to my ODS and when activating it is giving error "Value 'XYZ123XABC   #' (hex. '123456....') of characteristic CNUM contains invalid chara".
    I also have some lower case char in some of the records for the same field. The file is huge and cannot change the file, infact I have many such files. Is there any other way to overcome this?
    Thanks,

  • Issue with uploading flat file from App Server

    Hi,
    Im loading a flat file to an ODS.
    When I try to load in from my Local Workstation, it works fine.
    All data is loaded green.
    However, when I try to load the file after i copied it to my App Server, it cannot load.
    The error is get is:
    Error 2 while splitting CSV data: see long text
    Message no. RSDS_ACCESS011
    Diagnosis
    Error 2 occurred while splitting the CSV data string.
    1 = Could not find a closing escape character
    2 = Invalid escape character
    3 = Conversion error
    4 = OTHERS
    The thing is that it worked fine (exact same file no changes) when I loaded from my Desktop.
    Appreciate any help or input.
    Rgds,
    Gary.

    Gary,
    You can load it from the App server. Just check the file name whther you are giving it correctly and also check the readio button from App Server.
    Go to AL11 (Tcode) and cross check whther your file is there. See in which directory your file is there. Mention the same path in the extraction tab in IP.
    Thanks...

  • Problem Reading Flat File from Application server

    Hi All,
    I want to upload a Flat File which is having a Line Length of 3000.
    While uploading it to Application server , only upto 555 length it is getting uploaded .
    i am using the code :
    DATA: BEGIN OF TB_DATA OCCURS 0,
            LINE(3000),
          END OF TB_DATA.
    *----Uploading the flat file from the Local drive using FM "UPLOAD".

        TRANSFER TB_DATA TO TB_FILENAM-DATA.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
    CLOSE DATASET TB_FILENAM-DATA.
    What could be the problem?
    Could it be due to any Configuration Problem?
    Waiting for your replies.
    Thanks and Regards.
    Suki

    Your code looks OK, but you may have touble displaying the full width. Try:
    WRITE: /001 TB_FILENAM-DATA+555.
    (And don't forget to append your ITAB after each read.)

  • Not able to edit Flat File Location path

    Hi,
    We are using OWB 11gr2. We have two control centers cc1 and cc2 along with the Default Control Center. There are two flat file locations ff1 and ff2. ff1 is registered to cc1 and ff2 is registered with cc2 . We are able to unregister ff1 and register again after changing the path. But for ff2, we found the parameter PATH is not editable during registration after unregistering from cc2.
    During the investigation, we have found the If we edit the Control Center cc2, the check box of all the data locations , available at right side ( Selected Location) are disabled and it is not possible also to detach the location, i.e. to move the location at left side ( Available Locations) . But for cc1, the check box are editable and we can move it to detach the location from control center. Please advise how to enable the path of Flat File location and how to enable the check box of available locations of the cc2.
    Thanks

  • Issue importing flat files into SQL server 2008R2

    I have csv files that the last column may not have data. SSIS (version 2008R2) will insert the next row's data into the empty cells, which causes my package to fail.
    I know this is resolved in 2012 but we are using 2008R2 still. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hi sqlBI2014,
    After testing the issue that Flat File Connection Manager cannot handle file with uneven number of columns in each row in my SQL Server 2008 R2 environment, I can reproduce it.
    Based on my research, the issue is caused by the Column Delimiter gets first preference and then Row delimiter. So the next row data would be inserted in the empty column cell. This is by design in SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2.
    Good news is that the issue is fixed in SQL Server Data Tools which comes with SQL Server 2012. In SQL Server 2012, by default, the Flat File Connection Manager always checks for a row delimiter in unquoted data, and starts a new row when a row delimiter
    is found. This enables the connection manager to correctly parse files with rows that are missing column fields.
    If you still want to fix the issue in SQL Server 2008 R2, there is a sample component posted to the CodePlex that might help you with this:
