Flat file and encoding of euro sign

Hello,
I have a problem with a flat file which contain the euro sign. The file is encoding in ISO-8859-15.
I try to send the contain of the flat file in a DB2 database and it works fine. All characters are well encoding (é,è,û, ...) except for the euro sign.
When I execute the following request :
SELECT HEX(SUBSTR(FIELD,1,1)) FROM TABLE
where the first character of FIELD is the euro sign which is malformed, I get '80'.
In the topology, I tried with this :
jdbc:snps:dbfile&ENCODING=ISO8859_15
and this : jdbc:snps:dbfile&ENCODING=Cp1252
but the result is the same... :-(
Could you say me how to solve this problem please?

Sorry I did a mistake. I didn't considered the good topology...

Flat-file and the pass-through pipeline

Hi there,
I have a technical questions about the inner workings of BizTalk.
The MSDN says that BizTalk is XML-centric and enything that is going through it and is posted to the MsgBox is converted to XML format.
The question: Is this also true in a scenario including flat-file and a pass-through pipeline ?
Lets say the flat file needs not to be translated, the external organisation will except the flat-file format we are receiving on the receive port. So we use the receive location with the pass-thrugh pipeline (a pipilene without any components in it) and
a send port with a simple filter pointed to the ReceivePort name. No need to convert the file to XML whatsoever, and it would be a waist of time and resources IMHO.
So the question is, will BizTalk (being XML-centric) do the translation anyway ? In what format is the received file being posted and stored in the MsgBoxDb ?
Thanks in advance.
Peter

In a pass-through scenario (with pass-through pipelines) BizTalk will not process the message payload.
More information here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561008.aspx
The pass-through receive pipeline has no components. It is used for simple pass-through scenarios when no message payload processing is necessary. This pipeline is generally used when the source and the destination of the message are known, and the message
requires no validation, encoding, or disassembling. This pipeline is commonly used in conjunction with the pass-through send pipeline.

What is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?

Hi everyone,
when v say v r working on scenario FILE to FILE? which format of file r v usually working on? and what is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?
thanx

Hi,
<i>when v say v r working on scenario FILE to FILE? which format of file r v usually working on?</i>
>>>Many a times it will be a Flat file with CSV format,Tab delimited format, fixedlength fields.
<i>what is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?</i>
>>>We can not differeniate like this..
Flat file may come from any systems, it may be live system or legacy system.
Legacy system- is something like old, or past one. If you talk about SAP , then older versions of SAP can be called as a legacy system.
So it may be a file system, or any system which is old version but it doesnot mean it is not in use,

Export Table to flat file and upload to FTP server for external vendor

I have done some extensive searches on the forums and I think I have an idea but really need some help. Basically have a table that needs to be exported to a flat file and uploaded to a FTP server so that our vendor can get the data Monday-Saturday and automated by sysdate. This data is used to produce daily letters that go out to customers.
After doing some searching I came across the UTL_FILE package and reading more into this right now but I am not sure if it is what I should be using to create the file.
I am using TOAD right now and can see how to do it manually however really need the file to create itself and send automatically at 6 am Monday - Saturday with the date at the end of the file name making it a unique file for each day.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

As Justin and others have mentioned I wrote [XUTL_FTP|http://www.chrispoole.co.uk/apps/xutlftp.htm] so you wont find it in the Oracle documentation. It's pure PL/SQL and uses UTL_TCP and implements an integrated PL/SQL FTP client / API. One of it's many overloaded procedures FTP's the contents of a refcursor straight to a FTP server of your choice, meaning no intervening file is required. Since it is pure PL/SQL, it is trivial to schedule using DBMS_JOB/DBMS_SCHEDULER.
Any questions just ask.

Flat File and IDoc

Hi,
Is it possible to read a flat file and create the sale order through IDoc. Can i do this by DOC_INBOUND_FROM_FILE without XI?? What file format should i pass??
Regards,
Kit

Hi ,
you can create Sales order through IDoc. IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS
At a high level, the IDOC processing executes in the following manner:
1.     Interpret IDOC header segments and captures organizational, customer master and purchase
               order header details. Performs user exits for each segment to process customizations to data
                 processing.
2.     Interprets item level segments and captures item level details like material information. Again,
               it performs user exits for each segment.
3.     Sums up the order data and determines the posting criterion viz. creating order with reference
                  etc.
4.     Builds up batch data communication sequence (BDC) with respect to the required screen
              sequence of posting a sales order.
5.     While building up the BDC data, system performs user exit to process customizations to BDC
                data.
6.     Calls transactions VA01 using the BDC data.
7.     If the processing fails, an appropriate workitem is generated for workflow processing.
if you give me brief i can help you out more.
if helpful REWARD points
Thank you .

IDOC to flat file and vice versa

Dear community,
we should send IDOCs to flat files and read plain files and map them to IDOCs.
Is there any comfortable way to do this without doing a huge content conversion for
IDOCs? Exist a SAP standard for such process?
We receive the IDOC as normal IDOC. Would it be more easy to save the IDOCs
directly as flat file on ERP file system??
System PI 7.11
IDOCS: WHSCON, WHSORD and WMMBXY

Chris

Hey folks!
We have a PI 7.31 SPS5 Java-only installation here and are using the module IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor. For single IDocs with one line for the EDC_DC40 header and the others for the IDoc payload the conversion works. But when we want to process multiple IDocs from the same type within one file, we see this error in the log:
Module Exception 'com.sap.aii.af.idoc.exception.IDOCModuleException: No data segments for DOCNUM = ' found, cause: <null>
Are there any requirements how the multiple IDocs have to be structured within the file?
Best regards
Heinrich
Update:
I found out that the module wants each record to contain the corresponding DOCNUM to find the matching records. The non-SAP sender system normally does not set this value. Is there a way to "convince" the module to convert the IDocs nevertheless?

IDOC to Flat File and XML ( Need both the Output)

Hi ,
My Scenario is IDOC to File .
I need o/p in 2 format . ie, 1) Flat File 2 ) XML file
I have a plan to go with Interface determination , 2 IM and what shd be the condition ?
or Else 2 Receiver detmination but condition ?
How to slove this ?
Need the Output from Idoc in 2 format ( Flat file and XML file )
Any Blog , Thread ...Tips...etc
Regards,
Jude

Hi Jude,
Do like this:
1. Create two inbound Service Interface (with the same target Message Type)
2. Create separate Operation mapping with the above service interfaces as target (with the same source service interface)
3. Create Interface Determination and include these two operation mapping (without any condition)
4. Create 2 receiver agreement (with two separate communication channel) for each of the target service Inetrface. In one channel use content conversion and the other one will give you normal XML output

Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
1.
" ...youd better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data youll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
2.
"If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
3.
I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
4.
"Consider carefully the ODS key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you dont need."
I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
Thanks in advance

Hallo
I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
I hope eveyrhting is clear

Reading special characters from a flat file and inserting into DB

I'm reading data with special characters like . etc from a flat file , assigning the data to variable in my anonymous block and inserting into my DB. But the show up as inverted ? s. Any clues about how to do this?
If i try to do the insert directly it works. It seems like the error occurs when reading this data into a variable
thanks for the help
Lalit Bhatia

lalit, this is probably an character set problem, the default on Database creation tends to be 7bit Ascii which does not support special characters, it's been a while since I set up a db in this way, but you need to change settings in oracle.ini. The db will need to be restarted for this. Also, to check current settings try:
select * from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
You want an 8bit, unicode or multibyte character set. Sorry I cannot remember moer off the top of my head, try searching on NLS or character set

Loading Flat File and Temporary Table question

I am new to ODI. Is there a method to load a flat file directly in to the target table and not have ODI create a temporary file? I am asking this in trying to find out how efficient ODI is in bulk loading a very large set of data.

You can always modify the KM to skip the loading of the temporary table and load the target table directly. Another option would be to use the SUNOPSIS MEMORY ENGINE as your staging database. But, this option has some drawbacks, as it relies on available memory for the JVM and is not suitable for large datasets (which you mention you have).

Convert IDOC XML structure to flat file - and now?

Hi,
we are working with input message ORDERS05 and want to convert it to flat file.
So we used the implementation description from "how to convert an IDOC-XML structure to a flat file....".
Looks like this is a standard procedure described here fitting for all IDOCs.
We followed the guide, making XI ready for Abap-Mapping, implemented the Abap class like described, added an interface mapping with source ORDERS05 to a mess.type dummy destination, added with type Abap-class the class implemented from the guide and completed the Int.Dir. implementation.
For comparism purpose we have two systems as receiver, one with a standard flat file with regular graph.mapping in XI, one with the Abap mapping.
Result:
Error description in SXMB_MONI:
Didn´t expect something like that! The IDOC was delivered successfully to the other simple flat file receiver.
Any idea what we made wrong (we are on SP17) or if there is a standard mistake you can do when following the guide?
Best regards
Dirk

Hi,
I've got the same problem. He the solution in my case:
The problem is:
My IDOC has no element <STDMES>, but the method IF_MAPPING~EXECUTE from the 'HOW-TO Guide' does not check this situation:
el_element = idocument->find_from_name('STDMES').
ls_edidc-stdmes = el_element->get_value().
thows the exception.
Solution:
make shure that the field STDMESis set or change the method to:
el_element = idocument->find_from_name('STDMES').
if not el_element is initial.
ls_edidc-stdmes = el_element->get_value().
endif.
Best regards
