Export HRMS data to a flat file

Hi All!
Are there any ways of exporting employee related data to a flat file without using a client app (PeopleCode or Integration Broker), that is simply generate a CSV feed from UI?

You can Schedule a query and specify the output format as text. Note that when you select View Log/Trace in process monitor, you will see a file with a .csv extension. However, it will open by default in Excel, and even if you select Save instead of Open it will try to change the extension to .xls. You will have to change it back to .csv.

Export table data in a flat file without using FL

Hi,
I am looking for options where I can export table data into a flat file without using FL(File Layout) i.e., by using App Engine only.
Please share your experience if you did anything as this
Thanks

A simple way to export any record (table/view) to an csv fiel, is to create a rowset and loop through all record fields, like below example code
Local Rowset &RS;
Local Record &Rec;
Local File &MYFILE;
Local string &FileName, &strRecName, &Line, &Seperator, &Value;
Local number &numRow, &numField;
&FileName = "c:\temp\test.csv";
&strRecName = "PSOPRDEFN";
&Seperator = ";";
&RS = CreateRowset(@("Record." | &strRecName));
&RS.Fill();
&MYFILE = GetFile(&FileName, "W", %FilePath_Absolute);
If &MYFILE.IsOpen Then
   For &numRow = 1 To &RS.ActiveRowCount
      &Rec = &RS(&numRow).GetRecord(@("RECORD." | &strRecName));
      For &numField = 1 To &Rec.FieldCount
         &Value = String(&Rec.GetField(&numField).Value);
         If &numField = 1 Then
            &Line = &Value;
         Else
            &Line = &Line | &Seperator | &Value;
         End-If;
      End-For;
      &MYFILE.WriteLine(&Line);
   End-For;
End-If;
&MYFILE.Close(); You can of course create an application class for generic calling this piece of code.
Hope it helps.
Note:
Do not come complaining to me on performance issues ;)

Export multiple tables into one flat file

I have data in multiple tables on a processing database that I need to move up to a production database. I want to export the data into a flat file, ftp it to the production server and have another job pick up the file and process it. I am looking for
design suggestions on how to get multiple tables into one flat file using SSIS?
Thank You.

Hey,
Without a bit more detail, as per Russels response, its difficult to give an exact recommendation.
Essentially, you would first add a data flow task to your control flow. Create a source per table, then direct the output of each into an union all task. The output from the union all task would then be directed to a flat file destination.
Within the union all task you can map the various input columns into the appropriate outputs.
If the sources are different, it would probably be easiest to add a derived column task in-between the source and the union all, adding columns as appropriate and setting a default value that can be easily identified later (again depending on your requirements).
Hope that helps,
Jamie

Export data to a flat file

Hi all,
I need to export a table data to a flat file.
But the problem is that the data is huge about 200million rows occupying around 60GB of space
If I use SQL*Loader in Toad, it is taking huge time to export
After few months, I need to import the same data again into the table
So please help me which is the efficient and less time taking method to do this
I am very new to this field.
Can some one help me with this?
My oracle database version is 10.2
Thanks in advance

OK so first of all I would ask the following questions:
1. Why must you export the data and then re-import it a few months later?
2. Have you read through the documentation for SQLLDR thoroughly ? I know it is like stereo instructions but it has valuable information that will help you.
3. Does the table the data is being re-imported into have anything attached to it eg: triggers, indices or anything that the DB must do on each record? If so then re-read the the sqlldr documentation as you can turn all of that off during the import and re-index, etc. at your leisure.
I ask these questions because:
1. I would find a way for whatever happens to this data to be accomplished while it was in the DB.
2. Pumping data over the wire is going to be slow when you are talking about that kind of volume.
3. If you insist that the data must be dumped, massaged, and re-imported do it on the DB server. Disk IO is an order of magnitude faster then over the wire transfer.

Extract PSA Data to a Flat File

Hello,
I would like to download PSA data into a flat file, so I can load it into SQL Server and run SQL statements on it for analysis purposes. I have tried creating a PSA export datasource; however, I can find way to cleanly get the data into a flat structure for analysis and/or download.
Can anyone suggest options for doing this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Sonya

Hi Sonya,
In teh PSA screen try pressing Shift and F8. If this does not bring up the file types then you can try the following: Settings > Chnage Display Variants > View tab > Microsoft Excel > Click SAP_OM.xls and then the green check amrk. The data will be displayed in excel format which you can save to your PC.
Hope this helps...

Uploading the data from a flat file into ztable

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to upload the data from 2 flat files into 2 z tables(ZRB_HDR,ZRB_ITM).From the 1st flat file only data for few fields have to be uploaded into ztable(ZRB_HRD) .Fromthe 2nd flat file data for all the fields have to me uploaded into ztable(ZRB_ITM). How can I do this?
Regards,
Hema

hi,
declare two internal table with structur of your tables.
your flat files should be .txt files.
now make use of GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload your flatfile into internal tables.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename            = 'c:\file1.txt'
      has_field_separator = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab            = itab1
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS              = 1.
use this function twice for two tables.
then loop them individually and make use of insert command.

Problem in the BDC program to upload the data from a flat file.

Hi,
I am required to write a BDC program to upload the data from a flat file. The conditions are as mentioned below:-
1) Selection Screen will be prompted to user and user needs to provide:- File Path on presentation server (with F4 help for this obligatory parameter) and File Separator e.g. @,#,$,%,... etc(fields in the file will be separated by using this special character) or fields may be separated by tab(tab delimited).
2) Finally after the data is uploaded, following messages need to be displayed:-
a) Total Number of records successfully uploaded.
b) Session Name
c) Number of Sessions created.
Problem is when each record is fetched from flat file, the record needs to be split into individual fields separated by delimiter or in case tab separated, then proceeding in usual manner.
It would be great if you provide me either the logic, pseudocode, or sample code for this BDC program.
Thanks,

Here is an example program, if you require the delimitor to be a TAB, then enter TAB on the selection screen, if you require the delimitor to be a comma, slash, pipe, whatever, then simply enter that value. This example is simply the uploading of the file, not the BDC, I assume that you know what to do once you have the data into the internal table.

Procurement Card data upload from flat file to database

Hi All,
I need to upload Procurement Card data from a flat file to the database in the table BBP_PCMAS.
I found a BAPI BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE which uploads the data perfectly, however the structure PCMASTER that it takes as input does not contain the field for Blocking reason PCBLOCK - Reason for blocking procurement card. I need to upload this file as well from the flat file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
You are correct the function module BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE does not contain the PCBLOCK field.
Alternatively what you can do is read the PC data after it is created and modify it with the PCBLOCK appropiately. The necessary function modules are given below.
BBP_PCMAS_READ_PCMAS - Read Data
BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS - Modify Data
Note: BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS is a Update Task FM. Hence it shoild be called as given below, ( refer form write_data of the FM BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE)
call function 'BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS' in update task
       exporting
            i_pcmas     = i_pcmas
*         I_PCMAS_OLD =
*         I_DELETE    =
      tables
           t_pcacc     = i_pcacc
*         T_PCACC_OLD =

Sri

there is o relation of infoobject name in flat file and infoobjet name at BW side.
please check with the object in the BW and their lengths and type of the object and check your flat file weather u have the same type there,
now check the sequence of the objects in the transfer rules and activate them.
there u go.

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.

What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

Hi,
I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far!
I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
Alternative 1
I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
Alternative 2
The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
Thanks,
Carsten.

Sqlplus – spool data to a flat file

Hi,
Does any oracle expert here know why the sqlplus command could not spool all the data into a flat file at one time.
I have tried below command. It seems like every time I will get different file size :(
a) sqlplus -s $dbUser/$dbPass@$dbName <<EOF|gzip -c > ${TEMP_FILE_PATH}/${extract_file_prefix}.dat.Z
b) sqlplus -s $dbUser/$dbPass@$dbName <<EOF>> spool.log
set feedback off
set trims on
set trim on
