Export InfoCube Contents by Request to a flat file

Hi SDN,
Is it possible, other than going into the manage contents of an infoCube,
to export to a CSV file, by a request id.
I had a look at the function module
RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ
and it nearly does what i require, although i wasn't able to get it to work.
Can anyone firstly provide me with the parameters to input to get it to write to a file, say C:\temp.csv.
We are not able to use open hub service because of licensing issues.
Finally, if there is no easy solution, i will just go to the manage contents, and dump out the 3 - 4 million records identified by a request id number
Thank you.
Simon

Another options for "adjusting" a cube:
- converting it to transactional and use BPS functionalities (ABAP report SAP_CONVERT_TO_TRANSACTIONAL)
- loopback scenario: generate export datasource on your cube with update rules to your cube itslef; you would extract the data to be corrected to PSA; you can then edit this PSA (manually or mass updates with ABAP code) and the post it again in your cube.
hope this helps...

Loading data into infocube in bi 7.0 from flat file.

Hello All,
I need the complete procedure for loading data into the infocube from flat file in bi 7.0 i.e.using transformation,DTP etc.
Please help me with some gud documents.

Hi Pratighya,
Step by step procedure for loading data from flat file.
1. Create the infoobjects you might need in BI
2. Create your target infoprovider
3. . Create a source system
4. Create a datasource
5. Create and configure an Infopackage that will bring your records to the PSA
6. Create a transformation from the datasource to the Infoprovider
7. Create a Data Transfer Process (DTP) from the datasource to the Infoprovider
8. Schedule the infopackage
9. Once succesful, run the DTP
10. This will fill your target.
Hope this helps

Unattended Daily Exporting of Query to Flat File

I am VERY new to Oracle and SQL Plus. I've been tasked with automating a query to run unattended daily to export data and store it in a flat file with structured naming convention (CC_MMDDYY.exp). I need to have it be able to an "on demand" query to flat file too. Any help would be appreciated.

search asktom.oracle.com (temporary unavailable right now) for keyword flat file to obtain a procedure to write the result of a given query to a flat file and that's it. You can then schedule it's execution using DBMS_SCHEDULER or execute it on demand.

SSIS to Export data from SQL to flat file dynamically

Hi.
I hope somebody can help me out, I have a table like this:
Date, StoreNumber, ProductCode, SalesItem, SalesAmout, Inventory
09-10-2014,10,1,10,10,30
As you can see I have a Date field and my table has information from 2014 at daily basis, What I'm trying to do is to export the information of this table to flat files, creating one file pear each date, as a result I will have about 280 files (one per date)
I do not know if it is possible or not.
Thank you.

Hi Mike,
you can do it using one Execute SQL Task and a ForEach Loop variable driven.
1st the Execute SQL Task "figures out" how many iterations the loop would need. The SQL as follows would drive it:
SELECT DISTINCT [DATE] FROM MyTable;
and you get the dates placed into a package variable of type recordset for the [280] files.
And then you can operate on the recordset in the loop "shredding it" in a DFT with a source query dynamically driven by the date as "select a,b,c from mytable where date = '" + @[User::CurentDate] + "'" placing each
"date" into its own file even naming the file after the date using the current value of the package variable (ADO row concept).
See an example: http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Shredding-a-Recordset.aspx

Data convertion while exporting data into flat files using export wizard in ssis

Hi ,
while exporting data to flat file through export wizard the source table is having NVARCHAR types.
could you please help me on how to do the data convertion while using the export wizard?
Thanks.

Hi Avs sai,
By default, the columns in the destination flat file will be non-Unicode columns, e.g. the data type of the columns will be DT_STR. If you want to keep the original DT_WSTR data type of the input column when outputting to the destination file, you can check
the Unicode option on the “Choose a Destination” page of the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Then, on the “Configure Flat File Destination” page, you can click the Edit Mappings…“ button to check the data types. Please see the screenshot:

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

Flat File-to-RFC question, multiple RFC calls for one file.

Hi guys,
I'm quite new to XI / PI and I have a question regarding a File-to-RFC scenario we're trying in NW PI 7.1.
We have a flat file which has two lines with two fields each, let's take this as an example :
001,001
002,002
The files needs to be converted to XML and then transferred to the RFC program which will update a table with the values above.
In the ESR I've created 3 data types (z_row1,z_record1 and z_fileinput1), 1 message type (z_file2rfc_ob_mt), 1 message mapping (z_file2rfc_mm), 2 Service Interface (z_file2rfc_ob_si and z_file2rfc_ib_ztestpi) and 1 operation mapping (z_file2rfc_om).
In the Integration Builder (ID) I've created everything required (The sender and receiver communication channels, sender and receiver agreement, receiver determination and interface mapping).
We're also using content conversion to convert the flat file to XML, this does seem to work because I see all the lines/field in the message when it gets into PI. The problem is that the RFC can only accept two fields at a time and only the first line gets updated. I see that only the first line gets sent to the RFC.
How can I make the RFC call for each and every line ?
Thanks !!

Create the RFC with table, which takes multiple lineitem as input and update the table in single call.
If you want response back then call RFC as synchrounous else in Asynchrounous mode.
By doing this in single call it will update the complete table.

IDOC Flat File-- XI-- IDOC

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein we have to read the IDOC flat file and post it as IDOC to SAP using XI. I understand we have to use the Flat File Sender adapter and the IDOC Receiver Adapter. On the Sender Side we have to define the Content Conversion to convert the IDOC Flat File to IDOC XML. Writing File Content Conversion for the IDOC Flat File would be very tedious because of the number of fields and fixed structure of the flat file.
I have don through the following guide Section 3.2 where it talks abt converting IDOC to IDOC XML using reportRSEINB00.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how%20to%20convert%20between%20idoc%20and%20xml%20in%20xi%203.0.pdf
I am not clear how to invoke this report in the Flat File Sender adapter. Also is there any other approach.
Thanks
Rajeev Gupta

Hi Rajeev
You have a flatfile at the sender side so you dnt have any feasiable option to do other than FCC....FCC is not a tediuos one...if you can provide the strucutrre we will help you out...
Check out you have a fixedlength file or piple separated one....
In the functional design how many fields re present and buil the DT,MT MI accoprdingly.....
you have to just use some conecnt conversion parameters that's it...
item.fieldSeparator
item.endSeparator
item.fieldNames
here item is your recordset name
let us know your strucutre

Classes for converting a flat file to XML

I've been asked to convert text in a flat file to an XML document. The XML document must conform to an XML schema. Currenlty, there is no requirement to store the resulting xml in the database.
Therefore my approach will be:
1. parse the flat file and store the contents in an array (the flat file and target xml is fairly simple in structure)
2. Transfer the contents of the array to the xml structure
3. validate the xml against the schema
I'm new to Java. Therefore, what classes should I be using to assist in step 2. Obvoiusly, I dont want to have to write my own implementation from scratch (i.e. a method to build an element, method to escape reserved characters etc).
Could you please suggest classes that cover both DOM and SAX API's.
I'm working with a 9.2.0.4 database and XDK.
Thanks

The Stylus Studio may be used to convert text file to XML.
