Flat File Extract - SAP BW System Directory

Hi,
I want to export a flat file using data manager so that it is saved in the SAP BW System Directory i.e. the /SAP/ directories.
How can I do this? When i use data manager it only gives me options to save in the SAP BPC directory structure.
Cheers,

Hi Leo,
Look on the chain CPMB/EXPORT_TD_TO_APPL

Build daily Big flat file using SAP R/3 material master data

Hi all,
I must build an interface between SAP R/3 4.7 and an external application
Daily a flat file must be generated contaning Material data in full exchange mode
(volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo)
No complex mapping, only format mapping (Ex : Price quantity...)
I don't know yet if I will use Idocs or BAPI to extract data. However, I'm sure I must use multiple inbound messages because of volume
After reading documentation, I consider the both following solutions to manage it :
1) A simple asynchronous interface with a file adapter in construction mode APPEND to build flat file progressively with arrival of SAP messages
=>
viable solution ?
Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
(idocs or bapi data will be processed ones following the others )
2) BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
(Unlimited Loop with Deadline trigger correspondint to time I must build flat file)
=>
Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Which solution do you advise ?
Is there another ?
Last question : (more general one)
In such scenario, I can't see XI-value added comparing a creation of flat file directly with R/3.
I will generate a big number of idocs, use a big part of XI memory ...
Can you give me your opinion about it ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean-Charles,
>>>volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo
You have a performance task...
>>>Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
No, the adapter framework has its own queueing, the message would be stored and executed later. If sequence is important, you can use EOIO as well.
>>>BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
BPM is not required in your case, you should avoid becoz of performance task. You can append at file adapter, no problem. Bundling and splitting is even possible at Integration Server without BPM.
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Avoid using BAD words
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??

Changing the file name n Flat file Extraction

Hi,
Currently i am using flat file extraction for my forecast data and i am sending the file through application server.
I have created directory successfully and now everyday morning i receive a file thru FTP server with name 20060903.csv and this name is based on one field in my flat file data. ex. /interface/asf/20060903.csv
During mid off month we have cut off date, and this cut off date varies for each month. During this time file name changes in the FTP and a file with different name i.e 20061002.csv will be existing in the application server.
Now in the infopackage i also need to set the deletion settings like if the file name is same delete the previous requests. I could achieve this if i could get the file name changed.
Lets say if i am not chnaging the file name how do i set deletion condition, like it should not delete if the field(scenario) changes. ie from 20061002 to 20061101. I should have only one file for 20061002 and one file for 20061101 etc... If the scenario is same it should delete.
Any one kindly advise. Very urgent and critical.
Tks & regards,
Bhuvana.

Hi Bhunva,
Try the following abap code in routine under External data tab in infopackage.
data: begin of i_req occurs 0,
      rnr like RSICCONT-rnr,
      end of i_req.
select * from RSICCONT UP TO 1 ROWS
                  where ICUBE = <datatargetname>
                  order by TIMESTAMP descending.
i_req-rnr = rsiccont-rnr .
append i_req.
clear i_req.
endselect.
loop at i_req.
select single * from RSSELDONE where RNR eq i_req-rnr and
                                   filename = p_filename.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_DELETE_REQUEST'
      EXPORTING
        REQUEST                    = i_req-rnr
        INFOCUBE                   = <datatargetname>
      EXCEPTIONS
        REQUEST_NOT_IN_CUBE        = 1
        INFOCUBE_NOT_FOUND         = 2
        REQUEST_ALREADY_AGGREGATED = 3
        REQUEST_ALREADY_COMDENSED = 4
        NO_ENQUEUE_POSSIBLE        = 5
        OTHERS                     = 6.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      MESSAGE ID sy-MSGID TYPE 'I' NUMBER sy-MSGNO
          WITH sy-MSGV1 sy-MSGV2 sy-MSGV3 sy-MSGV4.
    else.
      message i799(rsm1) with i_req-rnr 'deleted'.
    ENDIF.
endif.
let me know if you get any problem in this logic.

Encountering problem in Flat File Extraction

Flat file extraction: the settings which I maintain in the data source u201Cfield tabu201D are conversion routine "ALPHA", format "External". But when I load the data, the record which is maintained in lower case (in the Flat File) is not getting converted into upper case. But if I try with out ALPHA conversion, the lower case data is getting converted into the SAP format (Upper case). Could you please help me to fix the problem
When I use both ALPH & External together?

Hai did you enable the lower case enable option check box in the infoobject level .For the objects which you want lower case values .Check the help.sap site as well.
Goodday

Delta upload for flat file extraction

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to initialize delta update for a flat file extraction, If yes please explain how to do that??

Hi Norton,
For a Flat file data source, the upload will be always FULL.
Please refer to following doc:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0b3f0e2-832d-2c10-1ca9-d909ca40b54e?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&43581033152710 if you need to to extract delta records from Flat file. We can write routine at infopackage level.

Generic and Flat file extraction

Hi experts
can any body send the Real time scenario for Generic and flat file extraction with examples.
Thanks and regrds,
satya

Hi,
Generic extraction is an extraction where you create a Generic DS and based upon this you would be extracting the data from R/3, which means you would have an source system to extract the generic data from the generic data source.
Flact file extraction is an extraction where you need not have to connect to source
system, in this case you source system would be PC, here you would be designing an infosource based up on the fields/columns of your flat file and mapping the corresponding the infoojects to it.. and update rules..
and you would be loading/extracting the data from the file as a source..
These two things are different in nature and usage..
Hope this helps..
assign points if useful..
cheers,
Pattan.

once u create the LSMW project then u can ask the data from user or u can explain the user about the program and can run the flat file to upload the data.

Oracle API for Extended Analytics Flat File extract issue

I have modified the Extended Analytics SDK application as such:
HFMCONSTANTSLib.EA_EXTRACT_TYPE_FLAGS.EA_EXTRACT_TYPE_FLATFILE
instead of
HFMCONSTANTSLib.EA_EXTRACT_TYPE_FLAGS.EA_EXTRACT_TYPE_STANDARD
I am trying to figure out where the Flat file extract is placed once the Extract is complete. I have verified that I am connecting to HFM and the log file indicates all the steps in the application have completed successfully.
Where does the FLATFILE get saved/output when using the API?
Ultimate goal is to create a flat file through an automated process which can be picked up by a third party application.
thanks for your help,
Chris

Extended Analytics Flat File extract in ANSI

Hi,
Version: EPM 11.1.2.1
The Flat file extract using Extended Analytics from HFM is exported in UNICODE format. Is there any option to get the export in ANSI code format?
Thanks,
user8783298

Hi
In the latest version, Currently the data from HFM can be exported only in UNICODE format. There is a defect filed to Oracle for the same.
At present the only workaround is to change the file encoding after it has been extracted, using third party software.
For example, the extracted file can be opened using Windows Notepad and then desired encoding format can be selected when the file is saved using option Save As.
Hope this helps.
thank you
