Flat File DataSource doesn't load properly.

Hi all,
we have a data file, which is tab delimited, saved as CSV and text versions. i have created a flat file datasource, mapped all fields.
I can load CSV version fine, but when use it on text version, it doesn't like it and can only return column one with the rest of the column blanked in the preview tab.
Setting:
In the "General" tab, everything is unchecked.
In Extraction tab, Adapter - "Load Text-Type File from Local Workstation"
                         Character settings - "Default setting"
                         Data format - "Separated with Separator"
                         Data separator - tab (00BB Hex)
                         Escape Sign - CR (00B6 Hex)
                         Number format - Direct entry
                                                 Thousand Separator - ","
                                                 Decimal point - "."
i have tried different setting, change number format to "User Master Records".
With the text version, the result in Preview can only display first column and Proposal preview can only shows one column. There is no error returned from the text version.
The CSV version can display all data and they are aligned as well.
what do i miss? is the text file not saved correctly? i can see all tabs and CR in the text version. it seems to be the tab is not detected properly or something.
Regards

Infopackage Routine in flat file datasource

Hi,
There is a requirements to load the data from multiple flat files in folder into BI which source data is coming from other system. Each flat file has it own naming convention.
There are around more the 200 flat file (CSV.file) in folder,data source is flat file datasource.
Could any one help me in above issue.
Regards
RAM

I assume they'll be using FTP to send the files... You have the layout defined and naming convention as well...
One option would be to create a user and folder in the BW server for the FTP to use it and put all files in the same place... From here you can define different Infopackages to read those files at specific times during the day or whatever schedule you guys agree...
A thing with the naming convention... Try to avoid using timestamps on the names and keep the names to be always the same... That way you just overwrite the existing files, the space usage won't grow much and you can make the loads automatic with the same file names...
Just some ideas...

Mapping Quantity keyfigure in BI 7- Flat file datasource

Hi Guys,
I have a problem in creating transformations for Quantity key figure for flat file datasource. In my csv file quantity is just a number. i created a datasource and Infopackage and loaded data into PSA without any problem.
In cube i have quantity key figure of QUAN type with 0UNIT unit of measure. So when I try to map Quantity in datasource with quantity InfoObject, 0UNIT is empty. So I am unable to activate transformations.
Can somebody suggest me how to proceed with htis problem? Should I define Quantity key figure as just number?
Thank you in advance

Hi Sneralla,
you can take one more field on you flatfile.. as units(ex: KG or CM.. like that) beside of the quanity filed.. and now load it into PSA and now create transformations... and now map this units filed to newly added field...
you can try this option.. becasue.. when you are loading Quantity field data from flat file means we need to mention the units also..

In Home Agent doesn't load properly

I have two nearly identical desktops and a laptop. The IHA doesn't load properly on one of the desktops. All have Win XP SP3 with all the security updates. All use Firefox as the default browser, but do have IE8 installed and working.
On the one that IHA doesn't load properly, when attempting to load, I wind up with two icons in the system tray. One is labeled MSI1F.tmp; the second, MSI18.tmp. Both tool tips show "Script paused" checked. If I restart the computer, the icons disappear.
If I attempt to execute the IHA, it starts up, and looks like it wants to work, but when I get to the page with the toolbar at the top and I click on "Internet," the body of the page goes blank and does not display anything.
Going to the feedback portion on the laptop (so I can be next to the desktop), I contacted support, and they were able to use remote control of my computer, but couldn't do any good and gave up.
Everything else seems to work. I can connect to the internet, but downloading a large file, such as Flash Player, is excruciatingly slow (that's what started all of this); the working units just fly. Using the laptop, I have been able to isolate the problem down to something inside the desktop, eliminating connection, router, and wiring issues. I have also tried using a wired and a wireless connection with the same basic results, making me think that it is just not one of the hardware interfaces (The wired connection is 1.0 Gbps and the wireless is "n.")
Any ideas short of just reloading XP and all of the other software?
Thanks.

Not sure if reloading will help In-Home Agent start working. I'm not sure what the fix would be for this but the software is known to be a bit glitchy. A lot of us just prefer removing it from the machine if all works well, unless you need a specific feature/repair option within the software.

FLAT FILE Datasource SERIOUS Problem

Hi
I want to read a header information in csv file to fill the FLAT FILE DATASOURCE structure.
I cannot read it by default as I have to IGNORE THE HEADER ROW otherwise it wont come up correctly along with otherdetail data that is below header row during extraction of CSV file.
How can i do that or How can I CALL A Function module or any other to fetch that header row ?
PLEASE HELP URGENTLY.
Thanks

you cannot read the header row only. But you can do a start routine within the transfer rules. There you can do whatever you like.
Perhaps you might have some troubles getting your data that far. Your header row must comply to the rules defined in your datasource like size or data type. So you might need to change some definitions of your datasource.

Field in Flat File DataSource

I created a Flat File DataSource.
In the DataSource, I enetered InfoObject 0OUTAGTARGT in the Fields tab ->InfoObject Template column. I want this InfoObject to be mapped
into field KTWRT (Target Value) in R/3 table EKKO.
However, when I enter the the InfoObject 0OUTAGTARGT and hit Enter key, system prompts me to copy the properties. I choose Copy.
And then it says:
Reference field 0DER_CURR was added automatically.
Now I have ORDER_CURR entered in the Field column, with InfoObject Template 0ORDER_CURR.
In the Field column, I replaced the field ORDER_CURR with WAERS (Currency field from R/3).
When I save it, I hit the following:
Missing currency field / unit field ORDER_CURR
System expect the field ORDER_CURR to be entered in the Field column. But in my source file, there is no field call
ORDER_CURR. It is actually WAERS.
How can I overcome this?

Maintain 0ORDER_CURR as it is needed by 0OUTAGTARGT.
Next, simply map WAERS to the ORDER_CURR field.
But it doesnt allow me to change. In DataSource ->Fields tab, I try to replaced the field ORDER_CURR with WAERS. When I click on Activate, I
hit the following:
Missing currency field / unit field ORDER_CURR
Please help.

Website doesn't load properly in Firefox and IR.

Does anybody know why my website:
www.clicktoneproductions.com doesn't load properly in firefox and
Internet explorer but seems to load okay in safari? This is my
first ever website so I'm not too familiar with CSS although I've
used Div Tags to contain all the links and used CSS for the
background image.
In firefox/IR the background image either doesn't load at all
or loads sometimes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Start by adding a valid doctype and validating the page.
Also, why do you have a splash page that does nothing other than
open a popup? Many people will not disable their popup blocker just
to enter your site and the splash page adds nothing of
value.

Error in DTP creation for a flat file datasource

Hi SDN friends,
Please if somebody can give me a help with this, it will be very appreciate.
I have a DTP to load attributes master data into an infoobject. The master data comes from a flat file (data source flat file) .
The extraction mode is full, when I try to modify any selection in the "Update" tab, a message "Enter valid value" shows, but it doesn't give me any hint about which is the wrong value that must be checked.
The message ID is 00 002 and the and the text is the following
Enter a valid value
Message no. 00002
Procedure
Display the allowed values with F4 and correct your entry.
I think it may be something related to the flatfile datasource. Are there any special considerations to create a DTP to upload master data from a flat file?
Thanks so much for your attention and best regards,
Karim

Hi Karim,
I suspect that you might be entering values that are not in correct format as defined in BI DTP. Eg: date it could be DD.MM.YYYY in BI you might be giving MM.DD.YYYY similary you may be entering the wrong format for master data you are giving it in selections.
Hope it helps...
Best Regards,
Madhu
