Flat file data upload error

Hello,
I am trying to load a flat file into a datasource. When I execute the infopackage, i am getting a lot of errors for diff fields in the datasource like this:
Error 'An exception with the type CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUM' at conversion exit RSDS_CONVERT_NUMBER (field DATE_OF_BIRTH record 1, value 12/)
What does this mean and what do I have to do to load the data properly into the PSA?
Thanks.

Hi,
This may be due to following,
1. I guess you are using some Date data in your file. First check whether in your Datasource u have defined that field with correct data type( either Calday, calmonth...).
2. If you have declared correctly, check whther you are giving the data for Date in your file in correct format: Ex: 012007, 022008....
3. Check the sequence of the fields in your file and datasource, whether its correct or not.

Flat file data upload to ODS failed

Hi guys,
While loading the flat file data to ODS, it gets fails immediately without loading single record. Error message shows ::
" Error when opening the data file <file name> (origin A)."
"Error in the data request"
"Error occurred in the data selection"
I am trying to load the data manually thru Infopackage and file is lying in the Application Server and full access given to it. But the important part is when we try to load the file again without doing any changes, it run fine and loads the data without any issues. This happens with every load & everyday.
Any solutions?

Sanjiv

Flat file data loading error using process chain

Hi SAP Experts,
I am having a problem loading the flat file data to the cube using process chain. The issue is that when i run the process chain it fails giving the message " Date format error, please enter the date in the format _.yyyy" . I am using " 0calmonth in the datasource" . Strange is that when i manually execute the infopackage, i dont get any errors and am able to load the same file successfully to the dso and the cube. Is there any special setting for the process chain that i am missing?
The date format in the flat file is mm/yyyy. I have tried all the options i could including recreating the datasource and invain dont see any success so far. please help me solving this problem as we r in the middle of testing cycle.
Thanking you all for your quick response and support all the time.
Kind Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,
I believe you are opening the .csv file again after saving it. In this case the initial 0 in single digit month (say 02/2010) is getting changed to 2/2010 and the resulting file is not readable to the system. Just do not open the file after you have entered data in the .csv file and saved and closed it. If required, open the file in notepad, but not in excel in case you want to re-check the data.
Hope this helps.

Best Practice for Flat File Data Uploaded by Users

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
1.     Users would like to upload data from flat file and subsequently view their reports.
2.     SAP BW support team would not be involved in data upload process.
3.     Users would not go to RSA1 and use InfoPackages & DTPs. Hence, another mechanism for data upload is required.
4.     Users consists of two group, external and internal users. External users would not have access to SAP system. However, access via a portal is acceptable.
What are the best practice we should adopt for this scenario?
Thanks!

Hi,
I can share what we do in our project.
We get the files from the WEB to the Application Server in path which is for this process.The file placed in the server has a naming convention based on ur project,u can name it.Everyday the same name file is placed in the server with different data.The path in the infopackage is fixed to that location in the server.After this the process chain trigers and loads the data from that particular path which is fixed in the application server.After the load completes,a copy of file is taken as back up and deleted from that path.
So this happens everyday.

Flat file data loading error

Hi All,
I am loading data from flat file. It is given error .File is avilable in selected directory and not opend but it showing return code 01.
That error message is like this.
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the source system.
System Response
Caller 09 contains an error message.
Further analysis:
The error occurred in Extractor .
Refer to the error message.
Procedure
How you remove the error depends on the error message.
Note
If the source system is a Client Workstation, then it is possible that the file that you wanted to load was being edited at the time of the data request. Make sure that the file is in the specified directory, that it is not being processed at the moment, and restart the request.

Hi,
While loading data from a flatfile, it is always better to first check the 'Preview' which is basically simulating the dataload from the file to check if the format is correct. You can do this by clicking on the 'Preview' button in the External Data tab within the infopackage. When you click on the 'Preview' button, it asks you for the number of header rows to be ignored and the number of records you want check from the file. If there is an issue with a particular field or the file, it will give an error message. You can correct the same and them do the actual dataload.
Commom errors during dataload from a file are:
1. You keep the file open and try to load the data. Please close the file before you start the dataload.
2. Data seperator and the number of header rows not specified correctly. Kindly double check.
3. Sequence of fields in the file and the infosource do not match .
Check the above points and see if it is useful.

Shilpa

Flat file data upload - happens for only 1 column

Dear Experts,
Goal: To upload data from flat file (with 3 columns-char3,language,text) to characteristic (texts).
Problem: I am doing through CSV File but when i click on preview i am able to see data only in first column, the other two columns are empty.
More details:
I have created this data source in data source tab.
Adapter - Load text type file from Workstation.
data format -Seperated with seperator (CSV).
Data Separator     - ,
Escape Sign     - "
File name      - C:\Documents and Settings\hans\Desktop\mtype.txt
Fields
/BIC/TSMOVTYPE           CHAR     3
LANGU               CHAR     2
TXTSH               CHAR     20
Can anyone give me idea?
regards
BI Learner

Hi,
You can try this:
1. After ESCAPE SIGN, there will be an option " Number of rows to be left". Put 1 there.
2. In your flat file, leave the 1st row blank or add anything in the first row for all the three columns.Save as CSV file. Note that the file must have the same sequence as in the data source.
3. Check your transformations. Data source fields should be mapped correctly to the right side.
try to load now. Hope it'll help.

Flat File Data Load Error

I have a text file (with fields comma separated) coming from the legacy system which is to be loaded into BW.
Values in the fields sometimes have comma in them due to which it disturbs the file structure and hence the data load fails. Ex:
ColA     ColB     ColC
10     A     $100
10     B, Inc     $50
In the above case record 2 comes as
ColA     ColB     ColC     ColD
10     B     Inc     $50
I am having this problem for 3 fields. Any suggestions on how fix this issue other then cleaning the file manually.
Thank you,
sam

Option1: Try to use a different separator like ;
Option2: For these three records note down where the , is...delete the comma from the records, load the data into PSA only, re-insert the comma into these records now and finally update into the data targets from the PSA.
Hope this helps.

Errors when loading flat file data

We just test to load a very simple flat file data with only two lines and the two lines of data in preview of InfoSource is correct. But when run InfoPackage to load data, the monitor of the InfoPackage shows the following errors (see in between two dashed lines below):

In the flat file (excel sheet saved as a CSV file), for each row of the data, there are two fields which are start_date and end_date and the date format is MM/DD/YYYY and in the Transfer Rule, we transfer the date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYYMMDD which is required by DATS InfoObject type in BW. If you need the excel sheet of data in order to answer our questions about the above errors, you can give us your e-mail address and we can send the simple two rows of data excel sheet file to you.
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
1.You can use lowercase letters in the values for your characteristics provided you have checked the lowercase checkbox in the general tab page of Create characteristic screen.But when you do so no masterdata tables,text tables, or another level of attributes underneath are allowed.
OR
Use only upper case letters in your characteristic unchecking the above mentioned box.
2.The date format in the CSV file should be yyyymmdd.It should have 8 characters . I guess there is something strange in your "calendardays" since I could not find 8 characters irrespective of the order.Do not forget to use zeroes.
Hope this works.
Reward if it is helpful.

Flat file data load failed with the below error

hi guys,
when the scheduling load(info package) from the flat file ,got below error..
Error 'The argument 'INR' cannot be interpreted as a number ' on assignment field /BI
thanks

Hi,
It seems that the flat file and data source are not in sync.... check your flat file format and prepare it in sync with your data source.
I guess you have an amount field followed by currency in your flat file, but in your data source currency field is not next to the amount KF or vice versa. It could also be that the KF you have defined is not of Amount type, and hence it doesn't expect the currency field.
Hope this helps

Hi Yaron,
Does the file stored in local file system or a share folder on remote server? If you can load data from a file in local computer, but cannot load data from a file in a remote computer, the issue may be caused by the Kerberos authentication. In this condition,
check the following points:
Enable SQL Server for Kerberos
Check delegation settings for SQL Server service account and Computer
Add Host SPNs for FileShare Server and SQL Server

Hi Giss68,
Could you check the Advanced tab of the Flat File Connection Manager to see whether the InputColumnWidth and the OutputColumnWidth properties of the Column2 has the same value? Please refer to the following link about the same topic:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10292091/how-do-i-fix-failed-to-write-error-while-exporting-data-to-ragged-right-flat-fil

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.

Hie
u can use function

then use function
WS_UPLOAD
to upload into

*then loop at it_line splitting it into the fields of your custom table.
loop at it_line.
          split itline at ',' into
          itab-name
          itab-surname.

Flat file data load - ODS - Look up data in Startroutine

Hi All,
There is a requirement that I have two ODS say 1) ABC and XYZ.
For Both ODS , We load flat file data.
First we load data to ABC for current fiscal period
During the data load to XYZ, We lookup part nos data in ABC for current fiscal period , if data there , for those part nos we load XYZ Flat file data.
My requirement is that , I need to fetch part nos data from ABC for Fiscal period < current fisacl period. Then I need to extract already loaded data for those part nos from XYZ and Mark the flag field as Non reportable .
How can we achieve this ?
Please advice
Thanks
Ajay

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done so. When I add lines of My Internal table data to DATA_PACKAGE, It gives the syntax error that both structures are not unique. We have several fields in XYZ ods but they are not in Communication structure.
Thats the problem. Also , if I write the code , will it be executed for each datapackage. I mean , for each datapacket process , my code will fetch whole data from ABC and then from XYZ. Repetion will be there?
Any other logic can i use ?
Thanks
Ajay
