Exclude Selection in Transformation File

Hi ,
I have a need of excluding selection in transformation file. I can use SELECTION for individual values in my transformation file succesfully.
(eg. SELECTION = 0MATL_GROUP,A100;0MATL_GROUP;A200 )
But is there any functionality in SELECTION to exclude values ?
Something like,( just imagining ) SELECTION = 0MATL_GROUP, (not equal) B100.
Any ideas for that ? Or do i have to write all single values (approximetly 131 members) to SELECTION , instead of excluding 1 member ?
Thanks in advance.
Faith.

Hi Nilanjan,
Thanks it was an helpful answer. I read the documentation. And i would like to ask you, what if a string is used for both infoobjects.
E.g, I dont want to take 0MATL_GROUPS beginnig with 130. But I have customer numbers begginig with 130 also.
So it will not take those customers either ?
Thanks in advance..
Faith..

Corrupted New Transformation File - IFRS_SP1

We're running IFRS_SP1
When selecting 'New Transformation File' we get the following corrupted file. When doing the same thing in a different environment the correct template for a new transformation file is displayed.
When running UJA_DATA_CHECKER for the IFRS_SP1 the folloiwng warnings are displayed:
The concern we have is that later down line ther could be additioonal issues which we may not be aware of at this stage causing re-work or even worse having to strat over.
Any advice or assistance, please.
Thank You

Thank you for the reply,
The basis team did the install again, we still got the same issues. Upon further investigation an additional note had to be applied, this has corrected the errors.
It looks much better now.

Select Time at Validate and Process Transformation File

Hi, Experts,
We have SAP BPC 10 NW.
We need to load data (not DELTA) from BW using a batch process every night and we don't want to need to make any change when the current month changes. We need to filter the current month and the month before automatically.
I think in solve this at transformation file level, when we select the InfoProvider and filters. We can select the Dimension/Field, Attribute, Operator an Low Value. Question: Is it possible to use a formula to have the current month dynamic (and the month before too)?
I though in another possibility: create a field a InfoProvider that has "Y" when the current month (or the month before) from system is the month of TIME.
Maybe there is a way by Data Manager Package.
May you help me?
Best Regards,
Ana Teresa

Hi Ana,
The standard option is to use START_ROUTINE in your transformation file to check the server date and filter the data to be loaded accordingly.

Selection of Null Value in Transformation file

Hi Guru's,
I've been trying to select NULL values of a field in transformation file but unfortunately system always gets both null and filled values of the field ALTHOUGH i had maintained the Selection Option.
Data management package is: Load Transaction Data from BW InfoProvider UI
The technical name of field: 0FLAG
I've tried each possibilities as in below
SELECTION: 0FLAG, *STR()
SELECTION: 0FLAG, *STR();
SELECTION: 0FLAG, ""
SELECTION: 0FLAG, " "
SELECTION: 0FLAG, NULL
SELECTION: 0FLAG, *STR(#)
SELECTION: 0FLAG, #
SELECTION: 0FLAG, "#"
Doesn't work.
thanks in adv. for your precious supports

Hi Sadi,
I understand your question that, you want to load tr. data from infocube and you have a trouble with one field which name is "0flag" in this cube, right? If your case is above, you need conversion file for flag, and convert like that # = "DUMMY" or sth.
Or, you can solve in BW with transformation file routine.
I hope, it will help you.
Thanks.

How to execute several ROUNDS in a single transformation file?

Hi everybody,
I've put several transformation files into one transformation file but I have the following problems:
- when I look at the log after validating the transformation file, it only shows values for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION
- when I execute the package for loading dat into the cube, it ONLY loads data for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION that appears in the transformation file
The number of 'Submit record count' is always the same as the number of accepted records of the last round. And if I create a view from the target cube, it only has data for the last combination of OPTIONS / MAPPING / CONVERSION.
What is happening? Do I must change any parameter?
It's critical for the project as we are loading a lot of key figures and we must simplify the administration of the load process
Thanks a lot in advance for your support,
Albert Mas

Mapping in Transformation file for loading infoprovider

Mapping in transformation file for load from infoprovider:
The requirement is : if Account of BW starts with 70XXXXXXX then use char1 if Account of BW starts with 12XXXXXXX then use char2 in BPC dimension 2.
So, in the transformation file for a load from an infoprovider we want for a dimension to use the data from a certain BW characteristic based on the characteristic Account.
For example if the account start with 70 then use for a certain bpc-dimension u201Cdetailu201D the characteristic of 0COUNRTY should be used, if account start with 2 the char X should be used etc..
Following in the transformation works but the issue is that we have to specify all the accounts individually (+100 accounts in the statement which is not feasible):
BPC_detail = *IF (BWACCOUNT = str(70000010) then 0COUNTRY;str(NO_DETAIL))
Where BPC_detail is the dimension in BPC and BWACCOUNT is the characteristic in BW.
Following statement does not work: there is also no documentation available how to do this:
BPC_detail = *IF (BWACCOUNT(1:2) = str(70) then 0COUNTRY;str(NO_DETAIL))
Is there a solution/statement that fulfills this requirement for the load of an infoprovider?
( so similar to what you can do with the load of a flat file like for example: Entity=IF(col(1,1:1)=U then SEntity;*col(1,1:1)=Z then *col(1,3:6); *STR(ERR)) )

Issue with the /CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_FILE transformation file.

Good evening to all,
We have to export data from a cube to a text file. To do this we have create in the BPC (NW 7.5 SP 09) a package with the process chain /CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_FILE but when we execute the package, we get an error. We think that the error is generated by the transformation file. In the chainu2019s log we can see that the process didnu2019t finish successful, the Appl Source and the clear BPC tables variants are in red and we get this error u201CJob or process BPCAPPS waiting for eventu201D.
Can anybody help us?

Hi. Thanks for the reply.
We still working on the issue. For a test we run the package without TF but we get the same error. We can find out the variant BPC Appl Source(APPL_TD_SOURCE) is the variant that generates the issue.
When we ran the package the package didn't finish and it get the status get the status active but when we ran the package in an other application the package ends with an error.

How to exclude two kind of files in the same folder in sender cc?

Hi,gurus:
Now we are using "advanced selection for source files" in sender file adapter.
Our requirement is as below:
The source directory is c:\test and there are many files in the directory.
We want to transfer all the files except aa.txt and bb.txt.
We have to implement it in one scenario,but it couldn't work.
It worked only when we transferred all the files except aa.txt or bb.txt,but not work when we want to transfer except aatxt and bb.txt.
I checked the blog "XI/PI: how to exclude files in a sender File adapter?",but it is not the same issue.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
The only way to solve your purpose is
Provide the list of file names like c. d. e. f. whatever possible number of file names in the "File Name Mask" column and provide the directory names by clicking on plus for additional rows. just dont use aa.* and bb. anywhere.This will do your purpose.
Thanks!

Mapping navigation attributes on transformation files

All,
I have one navigational attribute I would like to map to a dimension in my transformation file. I've tried:
INTCO=0COMP_CODE__0COMPANY
and
INTCO=0COMPANY
Either ways I get an error message saying it is expecting an * after the equal sign. How can I map / use navigational attributes here?
Thanks
Paulo

Hi Tony,
*SELECTION is one of the parameters allowed in the *OPTIONS section of a transformation file. You can see the syntax in the transformation documentation at [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/5d/9a3fba600e4de29e2d165644d67bd1/frameset.htm]. It is only allowed in transformation files used to load from InfoProviders, not from flat-files.

Transformation file errors(bpc cube to bpc cube)

Hi friends,
I'm trying to load bpc cube data to other bpc cube. Created transformation file with following options & mapping sections.
Simply i've to move from cube A to cube B(A, B are internally created transaction cube when creating BPC applications)
Cube A having around 12 dims and cube B having 7 dims. In mapping i mentioned only 7 dims because target is having 7 dims.
I think it not required to mention about other dimension in A.

When i tried to validate and process transformation, system telling "Errors occured while loading data from other cube".
Do i add any other things/options?
thanks,

Hi Naresh,
If you have more Dimensions in the source cube than in the target, INFOPROVIDER load is not a good idea. My understanding is that is such case you'll have to find a way to skip dimensions that are not loaded.
Therefore *DESTINATION_APP or BADI DEST_APP are your best options. Basically, if you need any transformation/calculations than use *DESTINATION_APP; if it's just straight aggregation BADI will do it.
How many records do you have to load? How much time do you expect that load will take? If it takes more than 20 minutes take a look at my blog "Improve performance of your BPC scripts" http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/21214.

Advance select for source file in Sender File Adapter

Hi
I am trying to utilise the parameter 'Advance Selection for source file' on a sender file adapter to pick the file from multiple folders
My problem is that this parameter that is listed on the SAP help is not getting in File accessing Parameters.
I am running PI 7.02 (NW702_07_Rel)
Service pack 07
Has anyone come across this before?
any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi,
In PI7.0 the property exists. I have used it previously. I think SP was 13.

Need Help Regarding Nested IF condition in Transformation File.

Hi,
In BI Cube I am having 2 Currency Type values 00 and 10.
And for some GL Accounts Cost Centres are Empty. So for these Empty 0COSTCENTER I am inserting a String CC_NONE.
My requirement is to load Data into BPC by validating 2 Conditions for 0COSTCENTER,
C1. Where 0CURTYPE (Currency Type) = 10 only. *IF(0CURTYPE=*STR(10) THEN
C2. Check where 0COSTCENTER are Empty.          *IF(*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE
       then load the string CC_NONE.                            THEN *STR(CC_NONE);
       else load 0COSTCENTER's                                  *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER))
So entire code will be as below to load 0CostCenter into BPC
COST_CENTER=*IF(0CURTYPE=*STR(10) THEN *IF(*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE THEN *STR(CC_NONE); *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER))
For this, while validating the Transformation File I am getting error as,
Command Error: STR(PC_NONE
If there is any possibility let me know.
Thank you,
Hemanth

Hi Hemanth,
But why not to combine both checks like:
COST_CENTER=*IF(0CURTYPE+*STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER = *STR(10CC_)+0COMP_CODE THEN *STR(CC_NONE); 0CURTYPE=10 THEN *STR(CC_)+0COMP_CODE+0COSTCENTER)

Select every nth file from a folder

Hello:
I have a file on my computer that has about 2200 word documents and I need to select every 10th file and place it into another folder. I have zero expierence with this stuff, especially since my imac is my first mac ever; I have had it for about 2 months. Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks

This script
set sourceFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select Source Folder"
set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt "Select Destination Folder"
set diag to display dialog "Set skip count" default answer "10"
set skipCount to (text returned of diag) as integer
tell application "Finder"
          set theFiles to the files of sourceFolder
          repeat with n from skipCount to (count of theFiles) by skipCount
duplicate item n of theFiles to folder the destinationFolder
          end repeat
end tell
will prompt you for the source and destination folders (the destination folder must exist already) and then prompt for the number of files to skip.
It will duplicate the selected files from the source to the destination. If you do not want the files to remain in the source folder replace duplicate with move in the script.
To make the above into a script select all the text in the box then right (control) click the selection, select Services->Make New AppleScript.
As with all script gotten from the web make sure you test it out on some dummy files first and make sure you have backups of the data you are working on.
regards
Note this will start with the file at skipCount and increment from there. That is with the skipCount set to 10 the first file moved is file number 10 then 20, 30, etc.

How to load several transformation files with a single action

Hi everybody,
We are loading data from BI cube into BPC cube. We are working on SAP BPC 7.0 version and we have designed several transformation files in order to load each key figure we need.
Now, we want to load all the transformation files executing only one action. Which one is the best way to do it?
We thought that it would be possible to build a single process chain, where we would call the target cube and all the transformation files. In this way, the administrator only has to execute once a package that would execute the process chain. We don't want the administrator to execute several times a package looking for the different transformation files.
How can we do it? Is there any example or document related to it?
Any idea out there?
Kind regards
