Finding a text in a flat file

Hello experts,
I have a file that contains lots of data for particular retailers

My question is as follows: Is it possible to identy a word in a text file and then take the number after that word ( eg i need to retreive the retailer number and save it in a retailer number column in my table)
Any help or guide will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Copying TEXT column from flat file into SQL results in empty fields....

I'm copying TEXT column from SQL to Flat file (ragged right fixed width) - DT_TEXT. It copies fine and I''ve checked the output file. Now, while trying to copy the flat file to sql server in another system. I find all the fields are empty.
When I preview the source from flatfile, I see all the entries there. But it copies other fields but the field with DT_TEXT is empty.
This is when I preview
SQL Table output
Any help will be helpful!!!

Hi, I'm not sure If I'm understanding what you're saying. The data got copied from SQL to Flat file. I've double checked the flat file and I see the DT_TEXT data there. The size of file also gives an indication that there's existence of TEXT Data
But, when I copy that data back to sql again (which I can also preview before the load), The DT_TEXT values goes missing. Same when I copy to Excel as CSV or as a Flat file. I don't see text data.
The TEXT data resides on the first output. But when I try to extract to other format from that output, it doesn't come out.

How to to load data from a flat file in selection screen in portal .

Dear All,
I have a question to share : In BEX analyzer i know how i can upload multiple data in selection screen through a flat file , for example if i have to load 200 materials at one go in the selection screen, i can do that in BEX Analyzer . But if i run the same report through portal i am not able to find the upload option through flat file ..... Am i missing some option here ?
Thanks & Regards,
Ashutosh Singh

You will not be able to load through the portal directly. it is possible to load if you can create Visual composer model. that also you will not be able to upload in bulk.

Full text search of .pdf files in a file table.

I have installed the Adobe iFilter 11 64 bit and set the path to the bin folder. I still cannot find any text from the pdf files. I suspect I am missing something trivial because I don't find much when I Bing for this so it must not be a common problem.
Here is the code.

Hello,
We believe we have figured this out. It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me. See if this resolves it for you all as well.
Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
Go
--you might also need to run: sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0 --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
--go
2. Stop SQL Server. (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
3.
Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
4.
Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
6. Start SQL Server
7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname') --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
Give this a try and see if this fixes yours.
Sincerely,
Rob Beene, MSFT

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.

SRC Folder Flat files

Hi
I am looking for a column named Commodity Code from the EBS data base. After a lot of investigation, and in one stage we decided to do some customization for the column. But we find that column in the flat file named 'FILE_UNSPSC' in the src files folder. Now If at all I want some column name 'xyz' from EBS, If at all that column is in FLAT FILES format in SRC folder, Is there any process that we can check directly in what flat file this column is in, And I think Data Lineage is not 100 % accurate , Is there any other process.
Thanks in Advance

Now If at all I want some column name 'xyz' from EBS.If the column is source from eBS table then pull it from table no need to look at the src folder, make sure you are not using Universal folder.
And I think Data Lineage is not 100 % accurate 100% agree with you, to make 100% development suppose to be more accurate as per Informatica standards
Is there any other process.Not clear with Q but Manual process is the best (in general)

Loading MD from Flat File.

Hi all:
I am in NW2004s. I am trying to load MD from a flat file DS. The problem is that I can't see data in "Maintain Master Data" under the InfoObject in InfoProviders.
The InfoObject is SalDiv which was created with texts. The flat file has two fields: SalesDivID, SalesDivName. Example: "1; Mall Center"
My question is: Should a create 2 Transformations? (one for texts and one for attributes?) or one is enough....in that case, which one?
Thanks.

Hi
Do yo see any record picked by DTP?
was attributes pertaining to IO loaded?
i hope..you have done following steps
create the flat file sourcesytem
then creaet datasource for text
create IP(check preview before loading)
once all the records have come to PSA(by scheduling IP)
create a transformation (map the fileds)
create DTP
check the data in corresponding text table
cheers,

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.

Find out duplicate rows in a flat file before using sqlldr

Hello i want to import via sqlldr from a flat file to a table inside my data base. My flat file has unfortunately some duplicate copies inside. So, i defined my upload table with two primary keys- date and time(and sometimes there are more than one row with the same time and date inside the flat file). These primaries are important to me because i want to use them for later tables and i can't use the direct path and parallel method by using primaries.
Is there any tool which can find duplicate copies before i use sqlldr. But, the special case here is, that the rows not really duplicated but date and time rows twice. And for my interest it isn't necessary whether there are different values in the second row of the same date and time. The file contains data which is monitored every second and that's enough.
It would be nice if someone could help me
cheers

I simply upload from sqlldr to staging tables first.
The staging tables allow duplicates then I do what I need to do in regards to duplicates or missing data during the transfer from the staging tables to the real tables.
The staging tables are also global temporary tables so I don't have to worry about cleaning them up or multiple sessions trampling each other.
I have also used an external table on the datafile instead of sqlldr, this allows me to get rid of the staging table. But that is only good for very small datasets in the file being loaded.

Hi,
You can use something like this:
switch(cell.getCellType()) {
case Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING:
    System.out.println(cell.getRichStringCellValue().getString());
    break;
case Cell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC:
    if(DateUtil.isCellDateFormatted(cell)) {
      System.out.println(cell.getDateCellValue());
    else {
      System.out.println(cell.getNumericCellValue());
    break;
    case Cell.CELL_TYPE_BOOLEAN:
      System.out.println(cell.getBooleanCellValue());
      break;
    case Cell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA:
      System.out.println(cell.getCellFormula());
      break;
    default:
      System.out.println();
Hope it helps,
Daniel

How to load Cell Text (~8000 bytes) in HFM from a Flat File using FDMEE?

Hi,
There are numerous posts on OTN describing how to load cell text using the Create Memo API. However, we are struggling to know how do we use FDMEE to load Cell text which is about 8000 bytes from a flat file?
Basically HFM gives us the flexibility to enter a Free-Form Cell Text with default size of 8000 bytes (which may be increased). However, when we try to manupilate FDMEE and load this to HFM, there is no place-holder/column in FDMEE Staging tables that has sufficient size to place such a long text. All the ATTR are not more than 20 bytes and UDx columns are only 75 bytes.
Has anyone faced a similar issue and built a workaround for this problem?
Thanks!

Could not find the fields in Flat file, But able to see the fields in receiver Communcication channel

Hi All,
My scenario is Proxy to file, After testing my scenario the flatfile is getting generated without any errors.
I can able to see all the fields in receiver communication channel payload. But some fields are missing in flatfile which is generated after conversion.
This is my structure below
Record
---Header
      a
      b
      e
      g
---Trailer
      c
      d
---Details
      e
      f
And here is my content conversion below
Header.fieldFixedLengths   2,4,6,7
Header.endSeparator         'nl'
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths     3,5
Trailer.endSeparator           'nl'
Details.fieldFixedLengths    6,7
Details.endSeparator          'nl'
Actually in header there are nearly 34 fields, I can able to see all the 34 fields in reciever CC, But in generated flat file I can able to see only first 30 fields remaing 4 are missing in flat file.
it is like in the above structure In Header there are a,b,e,g fields.I am getting a, b fields e and f are missing in flatfile.
Thanks in advance.
Please suggest me the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Satish

Hi Satish
As you said 4 fields values are missing out of 34. Are those fields values are coming as blank in the file or not at all coming.
Ex:
you have 4 fields a,b,e,g and in channels you have defined length as 2,4,6,7
If values for fields a,b,e,g are coming as 1,22,33,44444 respectively then the flat file is generated as
1-22--33----4444--- (Consider - as space here)
Now if you say e and g value then is the flat file generated as
1-22---------------
or
1-22--

Osman
