Error 4 when loading external data

hi all,
I have unchecked uncheck currency conversion for external systems in my info package and then loaded the data from a flat file.
and then i am getting the below errors.
cost -> cannot be converted to currenecy (since cost contains currency item)
netval_inv -> cannot be converted to currenecy (since cost contains currency item)
/bic/zntwthpm -> cannot be converted to currenecy (since cost contains currency item).
if i check the option

then i am getting error 4 when loading external data.
Can anyone help me out!!!
thanxs
haritha

Hi haritha,
Please check whether your file whcih you are loading is open , when you are starting the Infopackage.
Also please check this SAP Note 600246 - RSAR 234: Error 4 when you load external data.
What is your BW System (Version/Patch)
Thanks.

  • Error 3 when loading external data

    Hi Gurus!!
    I am trying to load data from a flat file into a Cube. The load is done by a process chain and have worked perfectly before. The file is located on the application server.
    Now I get the following error:
    Cannot Update Request REQU_DESUFKD2XA1LDREQ0KEJZ2TJC in Data Target
    Error 3 when loading external data
    The file looks ok when i compare it with the ones i received earlier.
    Any ideas what this error 3 is all about?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Error 1 when loading external data

    Hi BW( Best and Wise) friends,
    I am not able to load data into my infocube. My source system is a PC file.
    Message <b>"Error 1 when loading external data is displayed."</b> when scheduled.
    When I checked the error details using Monitor button,
    During extraction, the data request was arranged(indicated by green mark),but there was error in <b>data request(red).</b>
    During extraction,data request was received (green),but there was some error in <b>data selection(red).</b>
    Anticipating good solution.

    HI all,
    1.The flatfile matches with the transfer structure
    2.The file is a “.csv” format file only.
    3.The path is correct
    I had chosen comma as my data separator.
    I had declared fields in the following way in the XL csv file
    Name of the candidate – text
    Name of the party- text
    Age-number
    Number of votes gained –number
    Calendar day –text.
    I had already tried the following.
    When I clicked the preview in the “external data” tab  of the infopackage, a window showing the preview parameters is opening. When I clicked the tickmark, message “error 1 when loading data is displayed.
    4. The details tab of the monitor showed the following:
    Overall status : Errors occurred: or: Missing messages-red
    4.1)Requests(messages):Errors occurred-red
           Data request arranged-green                       
           Error in datarequest-red
    4.2)Extraction(messages):Errors occurred-red

           Error occurred in data selection-red
    4.3)Transfer(IDocs and TRFC):Everything ok-green
           Info IDoc 1: Application document posted-green
           Info IDoc 2: Application document posted-green

    I've seen folks work around similar problems by temporarily changing their NLS parameters (warning: you probably don't want to do this on a heavily used or production system). I know you said you changed them, but it might be worth another try.
    On NT save the registry entry for NLS_LANG. I think it is at:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->ORACLE->KEY_YOURORACLEHOME
    Make the NLS_LANG registry value AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    Restart the database.
    Load the data
    Reset the registry entry
    Restart the database.

    Hi Carol-Ann,
    The key issue here is
    "KUP-04063: unable to open log file owb_county_timezone.log
    OS error Permission denied".
    Looks like you don't have sufficient system priviliges on Unix.
    This is wat AskTom mentions about it:
    "the directory must exist on the SERVER.
    the concerned user is the "oracle software owner" as far as the OS is concerned.
    oracle must have read write access to this directory
    and the directory must exist on the SERVER (database server) itself."
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers, Patrick

  • Error while loading external data using Business Content

    Hi,
    I am new to BW and I'm stuck up with this problem.
    I'm trying to load data from external file using business content cube(0PUR_C01)and infosources(2LIS_02_ITM/S012/SCL).
    I first installed the above mentioned cube and data sources.
    Then I activated the update rules and transfer rules, without any changes.(I don't know what changes might be required!)
    Monitor is showing successful load but the cube has 0 enteries.
    Even the simulation of update is showing data in the data target.
    Can someone please guide me through this ?
    Its really urgent....
    Thank you all in advance.

    Hi Sharmistha,
    Welcome to SDN !! Does your monitor shows any records extracted till PSA ? Go to the details tab -> processing and click on each node to check what monitor shows.
    Hope it helps.

  • Strange LayoutManager error when loading external swf

    The swf loads and I get no popup errors in the browser.  But in debug mode my FlexBuilder console reads:
    [SWF] C:\~projects\source\flexbuilder\tests\dyvetntive_moderator_test\bin-debug\assets\swf\pres entation.swf - 1,592,516 bytes after decompression

    Loading other swf's produces the same result.
    What is that?

    Turns out it's probably a bug:

    Create a simples AS2 file with Adobe Flash Studio which has the only line:

    Launch this application in debug mode. The same crash. This means that issue is related to Adobe product family.
    We will try to report to Adobe about this issue.
    Since the issue happens only when debugging on IE we may recommend using other web browser for these purposes, for example Firefox until Adobe fix the problem with their product.

  • 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

  • Caller 09 is missing error when loading

    Hi,
    I'm getting the above error when loading transaction data from source system. (connected to Oracle system with DBLink so the source system is Myself). This system has just been upgraded to 3.5 but I had similar issue in Dev prior to the upgrade so I don't think its upgrade related.
    Full error message is that the datasource must be replicated. Timestamp in source system and timestamp in BW are different.
    I've tried the following (several times).
    1. Replicated datasource (by right clicking on source system underneath infosource), then used program RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL to activate the transfer structures.
    2. Replicated datasource then manually activated transfer structure, communication structure, regenerated underlying programs of transfer structure and PSA program.
    3. I've already logged off and back on
    4. I've gone into RSA5, and reactivated the extract structure.
    In the infosource, if I display its status, its has last changed timestamp of today. But in the error message I'm getting a timestamp of 25.05.06 for source system and 25.1.2003 for BW (bearing in mind they are both in fact BW).
    Any ideas? Please help !!
    Thanks

    Hi,
