You are trying to FTP a file to your application server in your process chain; is that correct?

*** Question How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0

Hi, I created an manual DTP upload to my planning infocube and it works fine. The transformation rules convert 0CALMONTH into the relevant Calendar and Fiscal characteristics. So all of my Time Characteristics are fine, both Calendar and Fiscal.
However, When using the "How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0" solution, only the Calendar Characteristics are populated and not the Fiscal. The upload application somehow knows to populate the 0CALMONTH2, 0CALQUART1, 0CALQUARTER, and 0CALYEAR.
How can I get the upload to populate my Fiscal Period Characteristics?
Would it be best to modify the "Upload Application, or can I write a planning function to update the fiscal characteristics, or some other way?
Thanks!

My planning data is being uploaded via the SDN Planning File Upload Solution. What I did was end up modifiying the upload class ZCL_RSPLF_FILE_UPLOAD Method EXECUTE.
I added the following code if anyone is interested.
*{ INSERT BWDK902323 1
THIS SECTION OF CODE POPULATES THE FISCAL PERIOD CHARACTERISTICS

Best practise around handling time dependency for flat file loads

Hi folks,
This is a fairly common situation - handling time dependency for flat file loads. Please can anyone share their experience around handling this. One common approach is to handle the time validity changes within the flat file where it is easily changeable by the user but then again is prone to input errors by the user. Another would be to handle this via a DSO. Possibly, also have this data entered directly in BI using IP planning layouts. There is a IP planning function that allows for loading flat file data but then again, it only works without the time dependency factor.
It would be great to hear thoughts or if anyone can point to a best practise document for such a scenario.
Thanks.

Unit Code, Commercial Code - Flat File loading vs BPS Loading

Hi SDN Community,
Recently, we have moved our flat file loading to be performed by BPS interfaces.
During flat file loads, the Commercial code of all units of measures, are verified.
eg.DAY
But when loaded by BPS, the UNIT code is verified.
eg. TAG.
In the display of the BPS upload, it displays DAY which is the commercial code.
The only thing, is the customer is forced to use TAG in the BPS upload files.
They wish to create another record in the transaction
CUNI to be
Unit code = DAY
Commercial code = DAY.
However, i have found that we cannot allocate the same commercial code to another unit code.
Is this a design constraint, or a process error that i am doing.
Thank you.
Simon

Dear customer,
As i do not fully understand how this works, but the base table T006A
has 2 entries, 1 for english, 1 for German, should it not be that the
English EN entry field be working rather that the German DE, hence DAY
should be used? Can you please confirm my understanding on this?
>>> If you check my attachment "SE16.xls", you can see that it's for
language >>English<<, and the internal format is TAG while the external
format is DAY.
- Are there any plans to modify the BPS functionality in newer SAP BW
versions to allow the customer to indicate the same UOM as per flat
file laods? Or is an upgraded Support Pack that allows this?
- If not, would it be possible to make any customer enhancements to
allow this to take place depending on customer requirements.
>>> There is no plan at this moment to change this BPS functionality
in newer SAP BW versions or support packages.
We really recommend you to use internal format TAG in the upload file
in BPS which I think should be acceptable and feasible to you. All
other ways trying to use external format is risky and we cannot assure
you that it will work well as it's not SAP standard function. (I think
it's not worth the risk as the standard function which requires
internal format should not be too unacceptable)
Thanks for your understanding.
I also don't think my BC-SRV-ASF-UOM colleague would be able to help
you a lot regarding this.

Transformation not generating-Flat file loading

Hello guys, I hope you can help me with this little confusion I have on BI7 Flat file loading.
I got a File (CSV) on my workstation. I am trying to load Master Data. Here is the example of my file and issues:
Lets say, I have CSV file named "CarModel.CSV" on my PC.
This excel file has 10 Records and No atributes for this Field.
So the records should show like this and it is showing correctly in PSA level, DS level.
A
B
C
D
E
F
My goal is to load Flat file data to InfoObject (inserted in Infoprovider)
I created Source system, DS, all thats stuffs.
I am now on Display DS screen under Proposal Tab. I am putting 10 Records to show and hitting Load example data....it works fine by showing all 10 records. However in the bottom part of this screen, what should show as a Field ?In my case , First it was showing the First Record ("A")...i didnt think it was correct but i prceeded anyways. Transformation could not be generated.
I tried by deleting "1" from the field "No. of header rows to be ignored" and its the same result ..No transformations.. I mean i know its very simple to load this data but i am not sure what i am doing wrong..My question is:
1) What should show under Field/propasal tab in my case?am i supposed to create this Field?
2) Should the system to propse the field which is from my flat file header ?in my case i dont have any header..should i have include header in my csv file like "car model"? i am confused please give me some info thanks
dk

Hi,
In filed tab, u have to enter ur infoobject names in an order...and press enter it'll automatically give the description and its other factors...
i guess u shuld have some header in the sense eg: customer,cust ID like this..this only u have to enter as fields...in proposal tab...try that

How to load the data from flat file ( ex excel ) to Planning area directly

Hi all ,
How can i load thedata fro m flat file directly to Planning area .
PLease help me in this.
Regards,
Chandu .

download one key figure data from planning book ( interactive damand plan) and made some changes and need to upload the data back to same planning book
But, may I know why you are thinking of downloading, changing and uploading for just changing the figures for a particular key figure. You can do it in the planning book itself.
However, not all the key-figures can be changed. But, what type of key-figure you are speaking here? Is it like 'Forecast' for which the value is based on other key-figures, or is like a key-figure where some manual adjustments are to be done--so that it can be manually edited? However, in both the cases, the data can be changed in the planning book only. In first case, you can change the values of dependant key-figures and in the second case, you can change the key-figures directly.
And please note that you can change the values of the key-figures only at the detailed level. So, after loading the data in the book, use drill-down option, maintain the data at the detailed level, change the figures, and automatically, this gets reflected at the higher level.
In case you are unable to change the values, go to the 'Design' mode of the book, right-click your key-figure, under "Selected Rows", uncheck "Output Only" option. In case you are unable to see that option, then you are not authorised to change that. See if you can change the authorisations by going to the "Data View" tab in planning book configuration (/n/sapapo/sdp8b), and change the value of Status to 3.
Hope your query is answered with different solutions offered by many of the sdn colleagues here.

Guru Charan.

Hi Marc,
Thanks for your support and great help for the problems we are facing in IP. Now we are able to get the browser screen for selecting the file, but we are facing new issue, When we are uploading file, the system is giving dump saying "THE ASSERT CONDITION was violated" in the below source code:
LOOP AT n_t_charsel INTO l_s_charsel WHERE sign = 'I' AND opt = 'EQ'.
ASSIGN COMPONENT l_s_charsel-iobjnm OF STRUCTURE <l_s_data> TO <f>.
ASSERT sy-subrc = 0.
IF <f> IS INITIAL.

Flat file upload through BPS webinterface

Hi ,
I want to load a flat file ( format in CSV) through web upload into a master data infoobject.
that is i want to upload through BPS webinterface . (3.5 version)
Is it possible to write everything in a BSP application without the help of Planning level or layout or functions.
but only through webinterface and a BSP application and can abap coding be included in directly in .htm page.
kindly help me out.

Hi,
I don't think so you 'll be able to write the abap code directly in htm page.Web interfaces are used for the purpose of creating and using user interface .It is no where linked to the logic or the activity that has to be performed using abap code directly.
You have to use the planning level and planning function for uploading the data through flat file.You can check the How to guide in forum's.
You can also create Transaction code for uploading the master data,through abap code you can provide buttons to upload it.

Indu

Error while creating process chain for flat file loading

Hi All,
I had Created a process Chain to load Transactiion data(Full load) form flat file which is in my computer.
start>Load>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE--> Create Index
but the system is throwing an error as "An upload from the client workstation in the background is not possible."
I dont know why this error is coming?
Can some one help me
Regards
Mamta

Hi Mamta,
Basically if you want to load the DS through FF using process chain, the FF has to be placed in Application server. We cant load the FF when it is located in the client local workstation(FF On your PC).
So better you remove the Infopackage step from the PC. Load the IP manually. Once it is completed you can start the process chain with the following steps:
start>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE> Create Index
Hope it is clear & helpful!

Urgent: Flat file load issue

Hi Guru's,
Doing loading in data target ODS via flat file, problem is that flat files shows date field values correct of 8 characters but when we do preview it shows 7 characters and loading is not going through.
Anyone knows where the problem is why in the preview screen it shows 7 characters of date when flat file has 8 characters.
Thanks
MK

Hi Bhanu,
How do i check if conversion is specified or not and another thing is it is not just one field we have 6 date fields and all of them are showing 7 characters in PSA after loading where as flat file have 8 characters in all of the 6 date fields.
In PSA I checked the error message it shows 2 error messages:
First Error message:
The value '1# ' from field /BIC/ZACTDAYS is not convertible into the
DDIC data type QUAN of the InfoObject in data record 7 . The field
content could not be transferred into the communication structure
format.
em Response
The data to be loaded has a data error or field /BIC/ZACTDAYS in the
transfer structure is not mapped to a suitable InfoObject.
The conversion of the transfer structure to the communication structure
was terminated. The processing of data records with errors was continued
in accordance with the settings in error handling for the InfoPackage
(tab page: Update Parameters).
Check the data conformity of your data source in the source system.
On the 'Assignment IOBJ - Field' tab page in the transfer rules, check
the InfoObject-field assignment for transfer-structure field
/BIC/ZACTDAYS .
If the data was temporarily saved in the PSA, you can also check the
received data for consistency in the PSA.
If the data is available and is correct in the source system and in the
PSA, you can activate debugging in the transfer rules by using update
simulation on the Detail   tab page in the monitor. This enables you to
perform an error analysis for the transfer rules. You need experience of
ABAP to do this.
2nd Error Message:
Diagnosis
The transfer program attempted to execute an invalid arithmetic
    operation.
System Response
Processing was terminated, and indicated as incorrect. You can carry out
    the update again any time you choose.
Procedure
1. Check that the data is accurate.
-   In particular, check that the data types, and lengths of the
            transferred data, agree with the definitions of the InfoSource,
            and that fixed values and routines defined in the transfer rules
-   The error may have arisen because you didn't specify the
         existing headers.
2. If necessary, correct the data error and start processing again.
Thanks
