Hi Anitha,
You should use File content conversion to convert flat file into XML file.
Please check the below link, which help you to know how to do it.

Flat File Into DW

Hi All,
I have many flat files in xls, access, csv format to be brought into the OBIDW. I have a EBS Financials, OM and SCM modules which also has some flat file data as sources.
1. whats is the general approach to bring in the flat file data to the OBIDW (I have DAC 7.9.5 and INFA 8.1.1).
---is the approach like - just build a fully customized INFA mappings with flat file as source?
OR
--first bring in the flat file data into a local staging DB without any business logic (just Data migration) and then use them as additional
tables in the pre-built INFA mappings? how are the relations between new OLTP tables built?
OR
--what is the best practice? (ppl having experience of having done this pls answer, its very critical!)
2.what is the industry standard. PLs let me know ASAP!
3. In OOTB DAC 7.9.5 I see some execution plans/ subject areas called 'Flat File' what are they used for? Any relation to the above question.??
4. any documents/ links are appreciated.
5. How is the Change Capture Mechanism realized for BI Apps as EBS as source. In Siebel I am used to Image tables. But i do not see any image table concept here in EBS. Pls help me in this regard also.
Thanks You Very much.

Unsorted Flat File into IDoc with multiple use of nodes

Hi Experts!
I am facing a little problem. I have a source flat file for a classification where some fields appear several times.
My source flat file looks like this:
item1; field1a
item2; fieldA
item3; fieldxa
item1; field1b
as you can see the item1 exists twice (further appearances are also possible).
Now i have to map the flat file into an IDoc structure
My target IDoc looks like this
Header
-- node1
attribute1
-- node2
the "field1a" and "field1b" has to be mapped into the "attribute1" in "node1". "node1" has to be duplicated for each time an "item1" appears (.. and if item2, item3 etc. appears twice, three ... four times...).
So how can i reach it that the node1 will be duplicated automatically when an item appears twice or more times? I know that it could be possible to work with "SplitByValue"... but for this i need all item1 in an straight order.... but i dont have them in a correct order.
I am looking forward to your suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
Udo

Complex sorting is not or not easy possible with the grafical mapping tool.
Use a sequence mapping. The first mapping is a simple XSLT which does the sort. The second mapping works as usual.
I have an example XSLT which I used for a different purpose:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <ORDERLIST>
      <xsl:for-each select="ORDERLIST/ITEM">
        <xsl:sort select="ID"/>
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </ORDERLIST>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

URGENT : Program to convert flat file to XML file.

Hello,
       Good Morning. I want an urgent program to convert a flat file seperated by '/' to an XML file format and store that in the the application server. If any one has done such a developement, could you please send me the code.
The flat file format is as below :
72/070414/114147/11973//100-//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////353825001511172/72/070414/123620/11973//1000//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////354762008125236/72/070414/125411/13814//1000//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////90000000002697/72/070414/140820/11973//1000//EA/00000000///04198//RRT0/RC23///////353057002479718/72/070414/145438/13814//1000//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////90000000002739/72/070414/145438/11973//1000-//EA/00000000///04198//INV/ID06///////353057002479718/72/070414/150008/13814//1000
It needs to be filtered by removing the '/' and also grouped based on two fields namely store number and transaction number. The sample XML output required is as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Error while loading flat file into DSO

Hi
I am loading data from a flat file into a DSO. My fields in the flat file are Trans_Dt, (CHAR) Particulars (CHAR), Card_Name, (CHAR) Exps_Type, (CHAR)
Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt, (CURR)
0Currency (CHAR)
In the proposal tab apart from the above mentioned fields 3 additional fields viz, field 10, field 11, and field 12 have come. How did these 3 additional fields come when I don't have any additional fields in my flat file? I've deleted these extra 3 fields though.
When I activate the DataSource it is getting activated but then I get the message 'Data structures were changed. Start transactions before hand'. What does this message mean?
When I hit the 'Read preview data' button it doesn't show me any data and gives me the error Missing reference to currency field / unit field for the fields Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt
How do I create a reference field to the above mentioned fields?
Earlier I didn't have the 0Currency field in the flat file. But in my DSO while creating the key figures by default the 0Currency field also got created which is quite obvious. Now while activating the transformations I was getting a message that 'No source field for the field 0Currency'. Hence I had to create a new field in my flat file called 0Currency and load it with USD in all rows.
Please help me in loading this flat file into the DSO.
Thank you.
TR.

Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for your answers. with your help I could see the data in the 'Read preview data' and schedule the load. I did use all the Info objects in the info objects column of the data source to load the flat file.
The data is in PSA successfully without any issues. but when I executed the DTP it failed with errors.
Earlier there was no mapping from Currency field in source to the all the key figure fields in the target in the transformation. The mapping was only from Currency to 0CURRENCY but still the transformation got activated. As per your advise I mapped Currency field to the remaining Key Figure fields but then I am getting the error
'Source parameter CURRENCY is not being used'
Why is that so?
list of Errors after executing the DTP:
1. 'Record filtered because records with the same key contain errors'
Message:
Diagnosis: The data record was filtered out becoz data records with the same key have already been filtered out in the current step for other reasons and the current update is non-commutative (for example, MOVE). This means that data records cannot be exchanged on the basis of the semantic key.
System Response: The data record is filtered out; further processing is performed in accordance with the settings chosen for error handling.
Procedure: Check these data records and data records with the same key for errors and then update them.
Procedure for System administration
Can you please explain this error and how should I fix this error.
2. Exception input_not_numeric; see long text - ID RSTRAN
Diagnosis: An exception input_not_numeric was raised while executing function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ.
System Response
Processing the corresponding record has been terminated.
Procedure
To analyse the cause, set a break point in the program of the transformation at the call point of function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ. Simulate the data transfer process to investigate the cause.
Procedure for System Administration
What does this error mean? How do I set a breakpoint in the program to fix this error inorder to load the data?

Reading String (Name-Value) from text file into XML

Hi,
I have a requirement for reading a text file and converting each entry of that text file into XML format. I have not came across such thing yet so looking for some ideas. I am using SQL Server 2005 and here is a sample entry from my source text file,
Jun 4 14:31:00 zzzz64x02 fff:

I will get multiple entries like this in my source text file which I have to convert into XML (using TSQL).
Any help will be useful.

'In Persuit of Happiness' and ..... learning SQL.

And I'm telling you that this is a bad option. You would use the vaccum cleaner to wash the dishes, would you?
If you for some reason would do this task in SQL Server, you would implement it as a CLR stored procedure, but from what you have said I don't understand why you would do this server-side at all.
What's wrong with the current C# solution?
Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, [email protected]
Got it. I was just looking for the available options, nothing wrong with my C# solution. And yes, I don't use vacuum cleaner to wash dishes.

Loading data from flat file into 0EMPLOYEE

Dear,
I want to see the <b>'monthly change of numbers of employees'</b> of my company in a BW report.
i want to do this by loading data from a dummy flat file into 0EMPLOYEE and afterwards into cube 0PAPA_C02.
i've searched the whole 'help and service sap' websites but nowhere, i could find a usefull user guide.
Could you explain me how this job needs to be done, are there certain steps that need to be taken?
here are a few of my questions:
1: what fields and data do i have to fill in my flat file?
2: how does the time-dependency of master data of employee work?
3: why do you only have to map 0calday and 0employee from infosource 0HR_PA_PA_1 to the corresponding fields of cube 0PAPA_C02?
4: how is the key figure 0HDCNT_VC filled automathically?
(the activation of cube 0PAPA_C02 and its flow is already done.)
or maybe you know a user guide which explains the whole picture and could you send me its link?
thanks a lot in advance,
Julie de Meyer

Hi,
Employee is master data : You need to extarct data every month.Once the extraction is done , you need rto activate to see the results. Otherwise it will display old result.
You can extract data for 0HR_PA_0 and 0HR_PA_1 cubes also. After that you can do the reporting based on this.
You can try some sap standard BI reports .
Headcount is calculated based on employement percentage which is maintained in infotype 0007 (Planned Working Time). If it is 100 then it is considerd as headcount 1.
you can check .

I successfully loaded above flat file in to BPS cube and it dispalyed in the layout also.
But users are requesting to load flatfile in the below format

Is it possible to load a flat file like this
They wants load a single row instead of 13 rows for each costelement
How to do this. Please suggest me if anybody accorss this requirment.
In the infocube we have got only one Info object 0FISCPER3(Posting period) and one 0AMOUNT(Amount)
do we need 13 Infobjects for each posting period and amount.
Is there any possiblity we can implement any user exit which we use in BEX Quer's
Please share your ideas on this.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
SS

Hi,
There are 2 ways to do this.
One is to change the structure of the cube to have 12 key figures for the 12 posting periods.
Another way is to write an ABAP Function Module to fetch the values from each record based on the posting period and store it in the cube for the corresponding characteristic. This way, you dont have to change the structure of the cube.
If this particular cube is not used anywhere else, I would suggest to change the structure itself.
Hope this helps.

How can I load a flat file into a ZTABLE dynamically

I need to create a program which can Load a ZTABLE from a flat file structure (delimited and fixed options required). We have many ZTables where this will be required so I was hoping to do it dynamically somehow. Otherwise I will have to create one ABAP for every ZTable we have to load.
My Inputs should be
PARAMETERS: p_ztable TYPE ddobjname,         "Z Table Name
             p_infile(132) LOWER CASE,        "File Name
             p_delim(1).                      "Delimiter
I know that I can read the file by using gui_upload
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                = c_infile
      has_field_separator     = p_delim
    TABLES
      data_tab                = indata
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
        OTHERS                  = 9.
I know that I can split the contents of this file (if a delimiter is used). However I will not know the actual field names of the table until runtime as to what to fields to split it into. In the example below I have the actual table (t_rec) and each of the fields (pernr, lgart, etc) in the code but each table I
need to load will be different – it will have a different # of fields as well.
FORM read_data_pc.
LOOP AT indata.
    PERFORM splitdata USING indata.
    APPEND t_rec.
    CLEAR t_rec.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.
FORM splitdata USING p_infile.
   SPLIT p_infile AT p_delim INTO
        t_rec-pernr                 "Employee #
        t_rec-lgart                 "Wage Type
        t_rec-begda                 "Effective date
        t_rec-endda.                 "End date
ENDFORM.
Once I split the data into the fields then I can just look and insert the record.
Does anyone have any ideas? Specific code examples would be great if you do. Thx!!

Uploading the data from a flat file into ztable

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to upload the data from 2 flat files into 2 z tables(ZRB_HDR,ZRB_ITM).From the 1st flat file only data for few fields have to be uploaded into ztable(ZRB_HRD) .Fromthe 2nd flat file data for all the fields have to me uploaded into ztable(ZRB_ITM). How can I do this?
Regards,
Hema

hi,
declare two internal table with structur of your tables.
your flat files should be .txt files.
now make use of GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload your flatfile into internal tables.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename            = 'c:\file1.txt'
      has_field_separator = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab            = itab1
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS              = 1.
use this function twice for two tables.
then loop them individually and make use of insert command.

XSLT Mapping to convert u201C.CSVu201D file into XML Structure.

Hi All,
I wanted to know can we use XSLT Mapping to convert u201C.CSVu201D file into XML Structure.
I am communicating between two XI Systems. First XI system is going to give u201C.CSVu201D file as main document. I need to post IDOC Corresponding to this. So what I want to do is read this u201C.CSVu201D file (Main document in payload) and first convet it into XML and then use second mapping which will convert XML to IDOC.
I know this is possible with JAVA Mapping but just wanted to confirm can we do this with XSLT mapping as well?

Gouri
