Extra delimiters in header record

Creating a header row with totals; union all with contents from rest of the file; sorting and then creating a flat file delimited by semicolon. Header record has semicolons in last field. How can I get rid of those?

This is because the downward components see metadata comprised of a fixed number of rows. You need to split this process into more steps: 1) Create file detail records; 2) Add the header. I suggest you see http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.ca/2012/03/adding-header-row-to-flat-file.html
as it closely matches what you did.

Use field from file header record in detail records

Hi,
I receive a file with different records type (transmission header, file header, detail records, file footer). The fields in each record type are different. The transmission header tells me who the sender of the file is. I need this information, because I am merging data of various senders into one table.
When processing the files, I need to split each file according to recordtype. (I can not use the same logic for each recordtype). How can I populate an extra column in the detail files with the value from the header record?
What I tried so far is the following:
- Populate a global variable using a script: This does not seem to work in the context of dataflows.
- Create a 'join' between header record and detail record. However there are no fields I can join, so Data Services is not happy with that.
- Store the field value from the header record in a DS (I chose a cache datastore, memory datastore did not work in batch scenario. I feel I can get this to work, but it seems quite an elaborate and expensive solution: First Filter the header record from the file, write the required field to the cache datastore, then read the same file but now filter the detail records, and join this with the datastore.
Is there a better way to do this? I was hoping I could just use a script and read the first line of my file and move the value to a global variable....
It would be great if someone could give me some tips...
Many thanks,
Jan.

Hi Werner,
I am not sure if I understand you correctly.
I have declared $State as a global variable, not as a parameter.
When I check my custom function I do get a warning that a variable is called which is not declared.
I thought I did not have to worry about this as the variable does exist within the job where the function is called.
It looks like I can not set a value to a global variable in a custom function.
Is that correct, or is there something wrong with my syntax?
Really the only reason I call a custom function is to set the global variable, so I could even make my function as simple as this:
$State = 'NSW';
Return 0;
It still doesn't work...
Any idea why?
Thanks,
Jan.

PMW/ACH Vendor Payments - Batch Header Record (5) not in file

We're trying to get PMW/ACH vendor payments up and running, and thought we were about ready to send a test file to the bank, but I've discovered we have no batch header (record type 5) in the file?
We're configured to use the PMW. I have checked and rechecked our configuration, but must be missing something? We have payment methods and banks configured. Variants defined and bank/master data set up on a few vendors for testing. Everything else seems to be working fine. A small test via F110 selects these vendors into the file for payment, prints advices, and posts FI documents in SAP properly. I have record types 1, 6, 8, and 9 in the file...but no 5 (Batch Header).
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Lisa Tanner

Record 5 is defined by the Format Supplement in FBZP, Payment method/country. Here you will find 3 supplements CTX, CCD and PPD.

How to create sqlplus output spool to a flat file with a header record

Hi all,
I've requirement to spool data from a table to a flat file along with column headings in the first row.I'm getting data but I need header record in the first row also?
Thanks,
Mahender.

Hi, Mahender,
If you give this SQL*Plus command before you start SPOOLing
SET PAGESIZE 50000then you can get the usual SQL*Plus column headings, and they won't repeat unless you have more than 50,000 rows of output.
When I can't do that, I use PROMPT
{spool}
SPOOL foo.txt
PROMPT empno ename job mgr ...
SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr ...
PROMPT will trim leading whitespace (unless you enclose it in quotes), but it will leave spacing between the columns alone.
You could also do a separate query, where you select some literals from dual:SPOOL foo.txt
SELECT ' empno ename job mgr ...'
FROM dual;
SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr ...

UDF - Removing Header Record from File

Hi Team,
In my file(File Content Conversion) to ABAP server proxy scenario...
The source File structure is like this...
KUNNR|Matnr|Description----->(This is Hearder Record.Each File contains this header record.)
1001|0077321|Special Materials
1002|0077323|Raw Material
File adapter will picks the file , In Message Mapping The first record is the Header Record from the above file structure.So I need to remove the Header Record.
Can we handle this requirement with any FCC parameter ;I think we can do it with the help of UDF in MessageMapping?
Can anybody ghelp me the sample code for this.
Thanks.
Drumi

Hi,
You can use Document Offset in FCC to specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.

Content Conversion issue for header record

Hi,
We have a very urgent question on an issue here with one of our XI objects.
This is an inbound interface from an external system into R/3 & BW. The inbound file has a header record (with about 8 fields) and detail records (about 900 fields per detail record). Data going into R/3 & BW don't have header records and everything goes in as detail records. One field from the header of this source file should be passed to the target structure at the detail level. Also, we are NOT using BPM.
Can someone help us how we could define the file content conversion parameters for File adapter.
Thanks in advance ......
Prashant

I'm so sorry, I wasn't subscribed to this thread and I didn't realize there were responses.
If you have a message type made up of a Header with 1 occurence and Detail with 1 to unbounded occurunces, you'd want to do the following in content conversion:
Document Name - your message type
Document Namespac - your message type namespace
Recordset Structure - Header,1,Detail,*
Recordset Structure - Ascending
Then you'll need to set some of the parameters, depending on the layout of your incoming file.
As for the problem of having hundreds of fields, I'm less sure about that.
Would it be possible to break your detail data type down into smaller data types. Each with fewer fields. You'd still have to maintain every field in content conversion, but at least they'd be in seperate parameters, instead of all 900 in one tiny box.
Here's a very rough example of what I mean:
If you have 900 fields, instead of making 1 data type of detail, you could make 9 data types, Detail1, Detail2, Detail3, Detail4, Detail5, Detail6, Detail7,Detail8, Detail 9, each with 100 fields in them (or more with even less fields).
Setting things up the file content conversion would be more complex in this scenario, so it might be a toss up if it's worth it to break it up this way or not if it meant configuring quite a few more parameters.
For example,
You'd have to declare your recordset structure like Header,1,Detail1,,Detail2,,Detail3,* etc, and you'd have to make sure to set the .endSeparator to '0' for all of the first 8 details, so it would recognize that they were all on one line.
I hope this helps a little bit.

Flat file export with a Constant header record???

I have a mapping that export the records of a table in a Flat File.
But I need to agreggate a constant in the first line of the export file (Header Record)
For example AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFFGGG
How Can I put a Constant Header record?

Marcelo,
When you use flat file as a target you can set the header to be your field names. Now... it looks like this is not exactly what you are looking for.
Alternative is to use a pre mapping procedure to create your file with the one line in it, and have the mapping produce additional records that are appended to the first line. Whether you create a new file or append to an existing file is a property on the target file, if I am not mistaken (it would be a configuration property otherwise).
Thanks,
Mark.

Header Record not repeated when detail records span to more than a page

In RTF template,
1. I have a for-each with code of
<?for-each@section:G_HEADER?>
2. Under 'for-each', I have the header record is defined in a 1 table row.
The row property for this table is set to 'Repeat as header row at the top of each page'
3. Under this I have another table with fields for LINES data with its own 'for-each' code <?for-each:G_LINES?>
4. Followed by end for the above two 'for-each'
However, when I generate the PDF output from Preview, when the lines data spans to more than one page, the header record is not repeating on the subsequent pages. Anyone has any ideas how to fix this
My XML Publisher version is 10.1.3.4.1 Build 130. I have a sample data and the template, but not sure if I can upload here.

user6098416 ,
I am also facing the same Problem as yours.
My Template layout is as follows:
<?for-each:G_HEADER?>
Header table
<?for-each:G_DTL1?>
detail table --> (<?for-each:G_DTL2?> Detail Fields <?end for-each?> )
<?end for-each?>   --> End for each for G_DTL1
<?end for-each?>   --> End for each for G_HEADERMy problem is Header Table is not repeating on each page when detail Table data goes beyound one page.
I tried the following but its not working:
<?template:header?>
Header table
<?end template?>
<?for-each:G_HEADER?>
<?call@inlines:header?>
<?for-each:G_DTL1?>
detail table --> (<?for-each:G_DTL2?> Detail Fields <?end for-each?> )
<?end for-each?>   --> End for each for G_DTL1
<?end for-each?>   --> End for each for G_HEADERI am not sure whats wrong here.
Thanks

IDOC Header Record

Our scenario is File(s) ---> XI -
> IDOC
We are receiving 3 Different Files, with Employee information from 3 different Countries and using XI , the records will be posted into R/3. Each record from the file will be treated as an IDoc.
The File is going to contain the Header Record, followed by the Detail records.
The header record will determine from whom this file was sent and we need to map the header info with the Control record.
How can I achieve the above task of separating the Header Record and the other detail records in the Message Mapping.
I would Greatly appreciate the Help.

hi Karen,
if you target XML fill contain
one header and many details (which have to be transformed into many idocs) then you can do it in
1:N mapping
1 file N idocs
just map the header so that it occures many times
(as many as the details section)
if I understand your issue correctly

Validate Technical Information from Flat File header record

Hi Experts,
I would like to know the best way to validate data from a flat file where the layout has a header containing the number of records sent and the total amount distributed along the file content.
Please, notice we have a commom layout where the first 3 fields are only used by header record (record type = 00)
For example:
RECORD TYPE     NUMBER OF RECORDS     TOTAL AMOUNT     COST CENTER     AMOUNT
          00                              3                                  250,00
          01                                                                                1000000             100,00
          01                                                                                2000000             100,00
          01                                                                                1000000               50,00
So, let´s suppose I received the file content above and I have recorded all 4 records in a first DSO. The next step I would like to load to a different DSO the records where RECORD TYPE = 01 (business) data. That´s OK.
The header record where RECORD TYPE = 00 (technical data) has to be uploded to a log DSO validating the total amount (250,00) and number of records (3) sent in the file. This line will be further exported as a validation information.
Well, any suggestions how to validate the data as described above?
Any information will be fully appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Fabio,
You seem to compare the first record of file or header record with the collated values of rest of the records in the flat file.
Simple way would be to do validation separate and load the file...
create a function module to read a file...
compare the first record with the collated values in the rest of file.
If the file seems to be okay,then loading is your choice...

Associating a header record to its detail record in SQL Loader

I've a SQL loader script that loads data into 2 separate tables, one table containing header and one having details. Once the load is done there is no way to find out which item is associated to its header.
Is there a way to associate a header record to its corresponding detail level?

Rcv_transactions_interface - No header record can be found from RHI

We had a receiving transaction fail because of a deadlock. I have tried setting the status of both the interface record and the interface header record to PENDING and re-submitting the interface manager however it still fails with the error:
No header record can be found from RHI. A header is required for this transaction (transaction_type = RECEIVE)
Anybody maybe shed some light on how you can re-submit a failed job through the interface?
I confess I haven't been on Metalink (sorry, My Oracle Support) because... it isn't working.
