Extract data to flat file

extract data when button pressed in forms 9i to a flat file

Dear Satya,
1) You can simply write an ABAP to access the P table ( /BIC/PInfobobject )
2) Using infospokes
rsbo->ZDOWNLOAD->Create->Choose Data Source as Infopbject with attributes..
and select your fields and selections and specify the flat file destination and thatsts it..

BPC 7.5 will extract data from flat file or directly from cube

Hi,
i have a doubt plz give me a solution.
1) previously our BPC 7.0 team extracted data from BI 7.0 through flat file, but now they have upgraded to BPC 7.5 i want to know whether BPC 7.5 will extract directly from our BW infocube or not.
2) please let me know how data extracted from BPC 7.5.

Hi,
If your import file has duplicate record in it then the Status of your DM package for import ends with warning, where all the records in your file might have got accepted but only one last data rows amoung the duplicate rows might have got submitted to the system.
The duplicate records will be rejected and you can see the list of duplicate records as well in the DM package status report.
Like Nilanjan said you can use Append DM Pacakge to submit all duplicate records aswell into the system. But here the problem is it appends the data in flat file with data available in the system.
Say you have 100 for account1 in the system and you run Append DM Package having values duplicate values for account1 say 100 and 200. So after the Append Package execution you will have 100100200= 400 for account1.
So for Append DM package to work in the same way as import, run clear package before executing the Append package.
Hope this helps,

Extract data from Flat file CSV to SQL Server 2008 using SSIS 2008 (Data gets corrupted when extraction)

Hi,
I am trying to extract data from multiple CSV files to SQL into a single table. The data type of all the columns in SQL table is nvarchar(MAX). I am able to extract the data from the flat files but some of the data(on extraction) is
corrupt including question marks(?) and other invalid special characters. Also I tried selecting the UTF-8, 65001(Unicode) format but the problem still persists. Also I tried using data converter but no use.
I checked with the data in the flat file but there is no data with question mark(?) or any other special characters.
The separator in the flat file is Comma(,)
Please help.
Thanks in advace.

The source system and application determines the code page and encoding. Is it Windows, Unix, Mainframe or some other type?
Unicode files sometimes begin with a byte order mark (2 bytes) to indicate little or big endian. If you open the file in notepad and then select save as, the encoding in the dialog will show the encoding notepad detected based on the BOM. If
that is ANSI instead of Unicode or UTF-8, you will need to know the code page the source system used when the file was created.

Extract data from Flat File in a remote machine

Hi All,
Can we extract the data from a flat file present in the Linux server ( same server having ODI installed ) and load it into the database. In most of the forms in the internet shows that the file is to be placed in the local client ( Eg:- C:/Flat_files/ ) .
Any thoughts on this is possible. Please provide me some information on the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Krishna Prasad

Many ways to do this. For example you could use sqlloader or a simple File to SQL and load from an agent used on the same machine of your file.
If your agent is not on the same box as the flat file, you will need a shared drive. Or you can first move the file using FTP or something like that.
Shared drive is quite easy but they are the evil. You'll need an everyone-read permission.

Extract data from flat file

Hi,
I'm trying to extract data from a non-SAP datasource (flat file) to BW, I need to first convert the source file (txt) into the appropriate format to load to BW (CSV or ASCII). Currently, the txt file is not in a either format but more in a report kind of format. Is there any functionality in BW that I could utilize to convert the source file esaily in the format that BW can understand? Can I do this using transfer rules?
Thanks.

Thanks. But on the text file, there's some other information that I don't need such as the header information and the data currently is in group level. Can I utilize BW without changing the format on the original source file?
Thanks.

How can I get data in flat file from Pool table and cluster table ?

Hi,
I am working in one Achiving project. My requirement is to get data into flat file from Cluster table and pool table.
Is there any tool avilable to download data into flat file from pool table and cluster table ?
if table name given in the selection screen then data will be downloaded into flat file.
waiting for quick response.
Best Regards,
Bansidhar

Data cannot be retrived directly form the cluster table
as the Cluster results are stored in Cluster Key say for example PCLkey
and form that Key we need to fetch the data
these clustes are not the part of PNP or PNPCE tables

can any body have Document.
Regards,
Chakri.

Hi,
This is the procedure.
1. Create m-data with or without attributes.
2. Create infosource .
    a) with flexible update
         or
    b) with direct update
3. Create transfer rules and assign tyhe names of m-data and attribute in "Transfer rules" tab and transfer them to communication structure.
4. Create the flat-file with same stucture as communication structure.
5. if chosen direct update then create infopackage and assign the name of flat-file and schedule it.
6. if chosen flexible update the create update rule with assigning name of the infosource and the schedule it by creating infopackage.
Hope this helps. If still have prob then let me know.
Follow this link also.

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

Here's some info on working with plists:

They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

Reading data from flat file Using TEXT_IO

Dear Gurus
I already posted this question but this time i need some other changes .....Sorry for that ..
I am using 10G forms and using TEXT_IO for reading data from flat file ..
My data is like this :-
0|BP-V1|20100928|01|1|2430962.89|27|2430962.89|MUR|20100928120106

How can i do ?
Initially my requirement was to read only 2 or 3 columns so i did like this ...

I have to check the file :-
Validation are 1st line should start from 0 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
The for 2nd line also same thing ..it should start from 9 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
Then the 3rd line should start from 1 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
After that i have to do a validation like i will read the 1st line 2nd column .. It should be like this BP-V1 else raise an error and insert that error to a table . Then i will check the 3rd column which is 20100928 , it should be YYYYMMDD format else same thing ERROR.
Then like this for all columns i have different validation .......
Then it will check for the 2nd line 3rd column . this is an account no .1st i will check it should be 12 char else ERROR .Then I will check that what user has imputed in the form.Like for example User putted 111111111 then i will check with this 000111111111 which is there in the 2nd line . I have to add 000 before that Account no which user imputed .
Then the lines which is starting from 1 , i have to take all the 2nd column for all the lines which is starting from 1 and i have to do a sum . After that i have to compare that sum with the value in the 1st lines ( Starting from 0) 6th column . It should be same else ERROR ...
Then same way i have to count all the lines which is starting from 1 . Then i have to compare with the 7th column of 1st line . It should be same . Here in this file it should be 9.

Idoc data in flat file structure

Dear Experts,
We have idoc data in flat file structure. We need to fetch it using ftp and map it to an idoc.
please tell me how to proceed .
Thanks,
Aju

Hi,
For flat file you need to use the File content conversion parameters.
Refer the blog,
SAP Network Blog: How to process flat files with multiple documents like POs, SOs etc. in a File to IDoc scenario

Loading data from flat file...

Hello,
I am actually experiencing a problem where I cant load data from a flat file into a table. I have actually reverse engineered the flat file into ODI. But the thing is I don't know how to load the data that is reversed into a RDBMS table. Added, I don't know how create this RDBMS table form within ODI to be reflected on the DB. Added, don't know how to load the data from the flat file onto this table without having to add the columns in order to map between the flat file and the table.
In conclusion, I need to know how to create an RDBMS table from within ODI on the database. And how to automatically map the flat file to the DB table and load the data into the DB table.
Regards,
Hossam

Hi Hossam,
We can used ODI procedure to create table in the DB.
Make sure you keep the column name in the table name same as the column name in FLAT FILE so that it can automatically map the column.
and regarding Loading data from FLAT File i.e. our source table is FLAT FILE till ODI 10.1.3.4 we need to manually insert the datastore since the file system cannot be reversed.
Please let me know Hossam if i can assis you further.
Thanks and Regards,
Andy
