File record number in a Flat file

Hi Guys,
I am working on Idoc to file scenario and generating a file at the target.
at the file...for each line i have to add a line count.
i have 2 header and 5 detail records set..and details are repeating multiple times.
For Ex:
H1........001
H2....002
D1------003
D2----
004
D3----
005
D4-------006
D5----
007
Footer-----008
Could someone help me in resolving this issue?
Thanks
sahil

Hi Sahil,
You can write UDF as follow
AbstractTrace trace= (AbstractTrace)container.getTrace();
GlobalContainer globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
String str = (String) globalContainer.getParameter ("COUNTER");
if(str!=null){
     int tempRowCounter =(new Integer (str)).intValue();
     globalContainer.setParameter("COUNTER",tempRowCounter++);
    return tempRowCounter+"";
}else{
     globalContainer.setParameter("COUNTER", "1");
     return "1";

File sequence number in a Flat file

Hi,
I am working on Idoc to file scenario wherein my output file will have a sequence number assigned to each level.
there are 4 levels and hence 4 sequence number to be genearted and its values should also have the same sequence number.
i am doing this just by using Counter function.
But when i am getting a multiple detail records, for each detail record(0040) level its keep incrementing.but it should have the same value what its level has.
for ex:
ALPHAMER AS2 E5 710 20114806124829 01.00

Hi there,
Just to try out from a different view, the following case could be implemented if the pre-requiisites are satisfied:
Pre-requisites:
1) The element that carries a primary factor, let us say, '8765' from your example.
2) Functionally there is an element in your header item that relates the line items under it.
My understanding of your example:
1) Line items present for 00, 10, 40
2) Line item 30 absent in the series
Proposal:
Map source field (the one that is arelating factor, here the one that carries '8765') -> INDEX (start by 0, increment by 1) -> multiply by one.
INDEX standard function property: Donot Reset for every context;

Immediate req.

Hi Shifali,
I want to extract the records from MDM to Desktop in Excel/Flat file format,whether it is from Data Manage or Syndicator
- MDM syndicator is the tool to export data in MDM .
- Data in MDM repository can be viewed and managed in MDM Data manager.
- What ever data is present in data manager will be exported outside using MDM syndicator.using your search criteria.
How to Extract records to Desktop in flat file.
I am not able to do it from Syndicator,i tried many options.Some one can help.
- Master data in MDM rep can be syndicated using MDM syndicator using 2 main formats Flat and XML.
- For local syndication to your desktop in flat format you need to follow the bewlo steps:
1) Create destination items manually in Syndicator under destination item tab.
2) Map this destination item to the source fields whcih are your mdm rep fields.
3) Use a serach critera if you wnat to filter records.
4) Click the export button in the syndicator
5) It will ask for the output file name and format
6) Give a name and select teh format form dropdown in the window (it can be text,excel.access any thing)
7) You output file is syndiacted to your local desktop.
Follow the below link for Flat syndication:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60ebecdf-4ebe-2a10-cf9f-830906c73866 (Flat Syndication)
Follow the below link for XML syndication:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e04fbbb3-6fad-2a10-3699-fbb40e51ad79 (XML Syndication)
This will give you the clear distinction between the two.
Hope It Helped

HI FRIENDS, significance of record set name in flat file process

1)significance of record set name in flat file process

hi ganga,
recordset specifies the logical structures in a flat file. A recordset can contain multiple types of substructures identified by logical names.
We can use the recordset in Node functions

IDoc to File - IDoc number : Variable substitution in File Adapter

Hi,
I have an IDoc to File scenario. I want to use the IDoc Number as part of the target filename (using variable substitution) in the File Adapter. However, the target flat file does not have a field where I can store the IDOC number. I know the IDoc number is also stored in the message header ( under the IdocInbound tab), but is there any way I can access this in the variable substitution?
Failing this, if I have the Idoc number in the target XML, is there any way I can skip it in the flat file generated?
example...
XML looks like this...
<Root>
<Record>
 <IdocNum>99999</IdocNum>
 <HeaderRecord>
 </HeaderRecord>
 <LineRecord>
 </LineRecord>
 <LineRecord>
 </LineRecord>
</Record>
</Root>
But the flat file should be..
HeaderRecord...
LineRecord...
LineRecord...
Cheers
Manish

Hi Chandra,
Thanks for this
But this is standard stuff that is detailed in SAP help files (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm)
What I was looking for was in Sravya's blog (refer the earlier entry).
Thanks anyway

How to find out duplicate record contained in a flat file

Hi Experts,
For my project I have written a program for flat file upload.
Requirement 1
In the flat file there may be some duplicate record like:
Field1   Field2
11        test1
11        test2
12        test3
13        test4
Field1 is primary key.
Can you please let me know how I can find out the duplicate record.
Requirement 2
The flat file contains the header row as shown above
Field1   Field2
How our program can skip this record and start reading / inserting records from row no 2 ie
11        test1
onwards.
Thanks

Can you please let me know how I can find out the duplicate record.
you need to split the records from flat file structure into your internal table ans use a delete ADJACENT duplicates comparing fields
split flat_str into wa_f1 wa_f2 wa_f2 at tab_space.

CR & LF characters at the end of records when using delimited flat file (CR is missing)

Hi All,
I have a requirement where data of SQL query needs to be loaded to a CSV file.
The row delimiter of the CSV file has to be CR-LF.
In the flat file connection manager, I have mentioned Header Row delimiter as "{CR}{LF}" and under columns section, row delimiter is specified as "{CR}{LF}".
But when I open the detsnation CSV file using notepad++, I see only "LF" at the end of all rows.
Can you please let me know how can I get both CR & LF at the end of each row
Below is the screen shot of the flat file connection manager which I have used for CSV destination file:
Raksha

Hi Raksha,
Just as Vaibhav said, I’m curious why you need use “CR & LF” as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manage. Since you can use "CR" as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manager and it worked fine, you can directly specify "CR"
as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manage.
Besides, if you still want to replace “LF” with “CR & LF” in the text file, we can use Notepad++’s Find/Replace feature or Edit -> EOL Conversion to achieve the goal. Then we can specify "CR & LF" as row delimiter in Flat File
Connection Manage.
The following blog about conversion between “LF” and “CR & LF” row delimiter in Notepad++ is for your reference:

File Content Conversion i.e Flat file 2 Flat file

Hi guys,
I am new 2 SAP XI

Input File contains following data:
Name:varun
Surname:rajaraman

Output File Should contain the following data:
I am varun rajaraman staying at B-2 bearing employee no. 8204.
(name,surname) (address) (Employee No.)
i.e data should be in a single row.
So, i have a problem of reading the data from input file i.e data from each row and transfering it into output file along with which i need 2 insert "i am " ,"staying at", etc.
pls tell me the procedure in detail.
Thanks and regards

Load of hierarchies from R/3 via flat file: how to generate the flat file?

Hello,
I need to build a custom extractor for a hierarchy. The hierarchy exists in R/3, but there's no standard datasource to extract it. I know I can upload it via flat file, but I have a question related to this.
Does anyone know if there's a program (standard or custom by SAP) or function module in R/3 which allows me to generate that flat file, with the required format by BW?
I would appreciate very much any help about this topic
Thanks in advance

In CO-PA there is a way to generate Hierarchy Extractors (see Note 422175 for more details). With a Custom Program you generate a specific DataSource.
Hope it helps

Hi Patricia,
if there is, I'd love to get hold of it.
I have only ever managed this by extracting the relevant data into Excel and then doing a long series of VLOOKUPS to establish parent and child ids.
I have a sample spreadsheet I can send you if you like.

Reducing the time interval in file Adpt to write a flat file at a location

Hi All,
I hav a scenario where i hav to write a flat file (XXX.txt) to a location. b4 doing that, i hav to check whether XXX.txt already exists or not. If it doesn't exists then i hav to write the XXX.txt file there. if it already exists, then i hav to wait until that xxx.txt file gets deleted.
In the receiver file adapter v hav an option file construction mode = create which does the same thing. but the problem here is it is taking too long (more than 5 min) which is not at all acceptable in my case (it is ok if it takes 1 min).
Is there any way to reduce the time interval using the same option?
Or do we hav any work around solution for acheiving the same scenario?
any help wud b appreciated.
Thnx in Adv.

As far as my knowledge goes I think it is not possible because we are not going to do anything from our end. XI is doing processing and creating a file for you. But you might be sending a large file at a time. So you have to improve the performance in your scenario. You check this urls on how to improve performance in XI:

Rdbms table to flat file: error at creation of flat file

hi
i created a mapping in which , i want to transfer data from a rdbms table to a flat file.I created the flat file using owb and gave the location of the flat file as E:/........./folder.When i try to deploy the mapping. The flat file isnt getting created .validation and scripts are ok, but deployment is failed with the below,error.
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges.
Create failed.

With 11gR2 of OWB you will need to either grant CREATE ANY DIRECTORY privileges to the target user so that when the directory is created when the OWB connector is deployed will work. Or the other option which is more secure is to have the dba create a directory and grant read/write privs on this directory (and when creating the connector in OWB, reference this SQL directory in the database). The CREATE ANY DIRECTORY option is ok above to get up and running and understand what is going on.

Adapter Module for Sender File Adapter to access a Flat file

Hi,
We have a scenario where the source is a flat file.I want to develop an Adapter Module to make a small change to every line in the Flat file.
Now how do we read a flat file in the Adapter Module?Coz the flat file will be converted to XML file by the Standard Adapter Module of the File adapter.
Please help me out with this.
Thank you,
Anu.

Hi Anu,
If you are not using Content Conversion option Standard Adapter Module does not convert the Flat file to XML .
You can directly access the payload as it is in flat file in the Adapter Module and make changes.
Use the Standard classes ModuleData & moduleContext to fetch the Payload.
