File extract from AL11

There are files which are sitting on production R3 directories - they can be accessed on R3 via transaction AL11
How can I extract these to BW production?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes normally it should be avaialble in SAP BW AL11,but you can also check couple of points
1. If basis can give you folder in R/3 that can be accessed via BW ,your and business life will be eaier.
2. Once files are placed in one folder you need to give path of same in Infopacakge and you have to also write file name next to the path.
3. Execute Infopacakge to get data to PSA
4. Execute DTP to get data from IP to data target.
I hope it is clear.
need vto select correct option not from local workstation in Infopacakage.
Thanks and regards
Kiran

Hi Anusha,
Please give as below.
I forget to say you cannot open the PDF in AL11 and for that you need some configuration, i think it can be done using content server,not sure completely please wait for some more suggestions.

Create Big XML files ( extract ) from Relational Tables

Experts: I need to create a big XML extract more than 5Gb , from relations tables using SQLX. I read the excellent FAQ given by MDrake in the following thread.
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/418001
Question
1) Is it better to use XML schema, My XML output format is pretty much going to be static, so I can register an XML schema .
2) Does Registering the XMLschema help with better memory management. I recall I used to get out of memory exception when I generated xml documents on oracle 10g using DBMS_XMLGEN.
3) Can I generate this 5 Gb of XML file using oracle's default DOM parser?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
1) Is it better to use XML schema, My XML output format is pretty much going to be static, so I can register an XML schema .
2) Does Registering the XMLschema help with better memory management. I recall I used to get out of memory exception when I generated xml documents on oracle 10g using DBMS_XMLGEN.
No, an XML schema won't help for the generation.
It is useful though if you're looking for the opposite task, i.e. loading an XML file into database tables.
3) Can I generate this 5 Gb of XML file using oracle's default DOM parser?
What is the default DOM parser ? Do you mean DBMS_XMLDOM APIs?
Since you want to generate XML, there's not much to parse.
Generally, using SQL/XML functions is the way to go.
You may still hit some performance/memory issues while reaching such a size, especially with large XMLAgg aggregation context.
If you do, you may switch to chunk generation instead. I've got some pretty good result with this approach and the parallel query feature.

Regrdin file transer from al11 to archive directory URGENT

HI ,
my actual require ment is
in BDC inbound interface i have to read data from applcation server .i did that.
but now i have to send that file to archive directory after succefully reading that.
can anybody help on this
wt is archive directory?
how to send that application server file to archive directary after succesfull reading it? .......
is there any function module for this....
wt is archive directory?

Hi,
An archive directory is just a concept where one directory on the operating system holds files that have been processed. You don't need to do anything special, either take the internal table you already have and write it to a file in this directory or call an operating system command to move the file.
You just need to find out for your system which directory is the archive directory.

Nick

Recorded Files extracted from UCCX 8.5 using sftp is only 1Kb

Hi All,
I have configured CCX agent recording using Cisco Desktop Workflow Administrator. When I am making calls to the agent I can see the files getting created on the server. I am also able to view these files on the Supervisor Record Viewer.
The downloaded files are in RAW format and are of 1Kb in size. When I try to convert these RAW files to WAV, it gives an error that the recording file is empty. I have also tried to save these files in WAV using the Supervisor Record viewer. The files can be opened using a media player but I am not able to hear anything. The WAV shows the right audio duration as well.
Please reply with your valuable suggestions.
Thank you.
Joseph Chirayath.

OK - I don't see any packets except broadcast/mcast in that capture that aren't too or from your PC.
What vendor/model NIC is this? It may not be enabled for promiscuous monitoring.
Also do you definately have the PC plugged into the PC port of the phone for network access? You said 'I spanned the ports and ran wireshark.', but you don't need to SPAN anything for this; the phone should send copies of it's packets out the PC port and your PC should see them in the capture.
And have you reset the phone since span/voice vlan access were enabled (if this was done recently)

Working with m2v files extracted from m2t

Hey everyone. Here's a question...
First, the background: I'm working with LumiereHD and a JVC GY-100U HDV camera recording in 24p. In the past, I have captured the m2t files into Lumiere, extracted the m2v and aif files, then created mov files for import and editing into FinalCut. This works perfectly..
Now the other day, I accidentally imported the wrong set of files into Final Cut, those being the m2v files... what I found is that the m2v files will play in the viewer perfectly (and if the aif files of the same name are in the same folder will play with sync sound).
My question is, since final cut can PLAY the m2v files, is there a timeline codec I can use so that I can edit with these m2v files and save the step of transcoding them to mov files?
The problem here is that I'm working with ProHD 24p HDV files rather than the standard 30 frame HDV. I know Apple is supposed to be releasing support for 24p in it's next "technical update" but that news was released months ago and there still no sign of it on the horizon... (too bad you couldn't 'modify' one of the existing HDV templates to work in 24 frames).
There may not be a work around here, but I figured if anyone knew if it would work, someone here would.
Thanks!

Almost forgot to mention... I was looking to gain real-time benefit. I can drop the m2v files on the timeline and RENDER them, but that defeats the purpose of working with the native m2v files...

Reg: File Extraction from SAP Queries via background job

Hi ,
Is it possible to Extract a file to the presentation Server by running the ABAP Query's through SQ01 as a back ground job to generate a file automatically without running it manually.
I have tried recording the query's thru SQ01 with the File store Option to download it to Excel on the Presentation server.I have used CAll Transaction for SQ01 in the Zprg and submitted that Query to be able to download that Query in the mentioned path .The Zprg was executed via Background job.The file is extracted to the presentation server when the Zprg was executed via Foreground,but its not getting Downloaded to Excel Via Back ground job.
Please provide me the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Prem

Hi
u cannot get file in presentation server.. in background..
if you are scheduling any background jobs it should be out of any gui interface.. like gui_dowload , gui_upload// ur need to replace then with cl_gui_fronend_services Class
or u have a option of writing file to application server in background using open dataset syntax.

Allow direct file extraction from SAP queries and YTRAN report

To feed transportation planning macro, we use 2 SAP queries under user group
YUGKO0001SIG,YQRYLO00002SIG,YQRYSD055SIG
--User created variants for each query to extract with file store option to automatically transfer the extract file to the network.
--User would like to set up a batch job via SM36 to extract the files and make them available in back ground, which is not possible in todays process
--Also user need similar functionality for YTRAN report, being able to run it in background and generate a file on the net work

Hierarchy update from AL11

Hi SDNs
We have a Date hierarchy updated from a flat file data source and the path of the file was from AL11. Now we cant see that file in AL11 directory any more and we want to update the Date history for our Fiscal Year 2011. As we do not have the file available , we are looking for alternate approach of loading these date hierarchies using a flat creation. But before doing that , can we retrieve the files deleted from AL11? If so please explain how...also we already have the Hierarchies loaded till 2010, so can we get the format of Flat file using RSH1 ? Please let me know how to create Hierarchy flat file...
Thanks
Sam

Hi Ravi
I downloaded the heirarchy using Z program and now I'm trying to update the Fisc Year 2011 data by manually entering the data. But when I downloaded the heirarchy in to flat file, Fisc weeks are not coming in the same format as it existed in Heirarchy. Eg: Our hierarchy has SO/01.2010 as descr amd 201001 as the fisc week node . But when I down loaded it appears like this: SO/20/1001 as the descirption and node name as SO100120. Is there any setting I have to do (may be in SU01) to download this in same format as it existed in heirarchy ?
Please advice...

File extract critical

Hello,
I have datafile extract from DB2 AS/400, which has a text field. And the AS/400 guy is making a file extract which is very big in size
like the structure is
col1 length 6
col2 length 10
col3 length 2000
And when he done with the extract from DB2 AS/400 the file becomes over 20GB in size, because the col3 length 2000 is not always 2000 95% of the records are having just 10-20 length.
But the file is storing all these length 2000 for each records .
Is there any better way or options or method to generate a file extract from DB2 AS/400, like comma delimited or any method, would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,

The guy who implemented the data extraction on DB2 AS/400 should do a TRIM( col3 ) when selecting the data. Maybe it's not just a SELECT-Statement he needs to do the work, but a small RPG Program which writes the data to the file.
If that's not enough I could ask our DB2 developers on monday how they did it.
We get our data from a DB2 on AS/400 too. And each field is delimited and has only the necessary length.

Delete the file from AL11

hi all,
how to delete file from application server(al11)?
apart from using EPS_DELETE_FILE
and writing a code any other go to acheive it
regards
venkat

Hi,
AL11 is a tool to view files that exist on the operating system of the SAP instance (which I think is Rainer's point).
The only way to delete this files is either programatically (with the function module you mention or other ways) or to log onto the operating system directly and delete the file. In either case you are not deleting them from AL11, you are deleting them from the operating system.

Nick
