Flat File Upload from Network

Hi gurus,
i understood that there is a posibility to upload data from a flat file directly from the network. I know how to upload it from the PC, but how do I put the folder on the network?
Thanx,
Ramona

Hi Ramona,
First of all make sure, that every user has sufficiant auothraization for durectory required on application server,
Now you (or the users) are able to access it in windows after mapping to a drive represented by a caharcter ( e.g. ''R").
This is done in Windows Explorer "EXTRAS". It will appear as a new folder in explorer and can be handled like a "normal" one.
If you have any doubts contact your basis guys, they are surely familiar with this process.
Hope it helps
Joe

Flat File Upload from WebDynpro ABAP

Hi,
I am struggling to find a solution for this requirement and I hope I get some help from the Gurus here.
I have to upload a ".csv" file from the WebDynpro application, and then store the data in the flat file in a Z# table.
Can some one explain me how to go ahead with this requirement??
Regards,
Nadh

Hi Nrisimhanadh Yandamuri ,
After reading the csv file using file up load you can use the following code to tranfer the same to an itab of your required format
    DATA : loc_conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
      var_string TYPE string.
Convert XString to String
    CALL METHOD cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create
      EXPORTING
        input       = item_content
        encoding    = 'UTF-8'
        replacement = '?'
        ignore_cerr = abap_true
      RECEIVING
        conv        = loc_conv.
*Read the file contents
    TRY.
        CALL METHOD loc_conv->read
          IMPORTING
            data = var_string.
      CATCH cx_sy_conversion_codepage.
*-- Should ignore errors in code conversions
      CATCH cx_sy_codepage_converter_init.
*-- Should ignore errors in code conversions
      CATCH cx_parameter_invalid_type.
      CATCH cx_parameter_invalid_range.
    ENDTRY.
    SPLIT var_string AT crlf INTO TABLE it_string_tab.

FLAT FILE UPLOAD INTO BI

Hi,
What kind of questions are needed to be asked (from client) for requirements gathering for a flat file upload (from legacy system) to BI? Basically what are all the questions that i need to ask them to make sure I have all information for designing a flat file extractor?
Thanks

I would ask them what do they want to report on from the legacy system and is data already in R/3? I would also ask what kind of data is stored in the legacy system .... inventory, financial data, sales, etc ... Once I knew that, I would ask what do they want to report on .... stock quantities/costs, gl account data, revenue, deliveries, etc....
Then I would ask, do you want this to be seperated from the R/3 datastream? More than likely this will be yes, if not, fight to keep it seperated and possible in it's own cube/ODS and combine in a multiprovider (you need to use the same 0material, 0customer, 0vendor, 0gl_account info objects if you want to combine nicely on a multiprovider).
If the database the legacy system is on is either SQL Server or Informix or Oracle, you may want to consider DBConnect and connect directly to their tables.
In all cases, I try to avoid bringing everything in "just because we may need it". If the system is legacy and it's been a legacy for 2 years, see what people keep going back for and grab that data only. If someone claims to need data, but have not sought it out for 2 years, then the probably don't need it.
Also, check the granularity of the data. Do they need individual documents for legal reasons? Can you summarize the data? What are they going to use the data for?

BPS Flat File Upload Error Messages

Hi,
I am using the BPS flat file upload and am getting error messages. These error messages are coming from the user exit in the characteristics relationships. Unfortunately the message does not indicate which line on the upload file the error is for. In the user exit it does not pass the line no of the flat file that is being processed.
Does anyone have any ideas how the message could be enhanced to indicate the line in error or if there is another exit I could perform the validation in?
regards
Paul Cairncross

Hi Sai,
The issue is not the particular message. The message is in fact my message in the user exit in the characteristic relationships. The issue is when using the flat file upload the message does not indicate which line in the file the message apply's to. Looking at the userexit no line number is passed. This is not a problem in the web as the specific line is highlighted when the user is keying in the data.

Flat file Upload BSP page

Hi Marc,
I am following the July version of how-to. When generating the BSP page, I am told checkbrowser.htm and js.htm are not available. When I create a checkbrowser.htm and point the include to js3.htm, which is one of the page fragment available, there are a few other errors coming out. What am I missing?

Do you already know if the flat file upload is possible from a multi planning area? Because I get the error message that my multi planning area does not exist when executing the function.
Thnx.

Read-only file access from network volume

I get an read-only file access from network volume problem while sharing a drive from Snow Leopard to a Tiger install. Most of files were opening well, but *.fp7 (FileMaker) and *.xls (Excel) files won't open dealing with a read-only error.
As descibed in the last post of http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1406977 the client have the same share name of the server. Renomming it resolved the error!
Thanks!

right then, as it looks like I'm talking to myself....
I have just wiped clean the Macbook Pro.
I installed Leopard from scratch, then installed Office 2008.
Logged back onto the network share, and the read-only error came up again, ONLY in Excel.
bugger.
Did the same thing with my Macbook and all is fine.
Copy the file to the local hard drive, opens ok.
I then copied the file to another Mac on the network.
mmmm, opens fine.
what's the difference....
mmmm, the machine it opens fine from is running 10.4
the machine which hosts all the data is running 10.3.9
could this be the problem.
Just done a software update check on the 10.3 machine and there are some security updates that need doing.
Going to run that now and see what happens, otherwise I think the iMac running 10.3.9 is going to need to come up to 10.4 and fingers crossed this will solve it.

Difference b/w Loading a Flat File made from EXCEL and NOTEPAD

Hi
Is there any difference in Loading a flat file made from MS-Excel and Note Pad. Imean performance or errors etc....
GSR

S R G,
Theres no much difference only that when loading from excel we store excel in CSV format. In notepad we use seperators like comma aand write one row at a time, then next....
Rest everything is same...

"Import from Text File" & "Upload from Clipboard" icon not appearng in F110

Hi Experts,
While making the payment to the vendors through TN F110, in "PARAMETER" screen just next to 'STATUS' screen, there is a vendor field for selection in range and just ahead of this there is an icon for multiple vendor selection ( Bold arrow mark ). If I click on that multiple vender selection icon ( on bold arrow mark ), an another screen opens for multiple selection for vendors. In this screen 'Enter, Copy, Delete etc' icons are appearing at the bottom of the screen but "Import from Text File" & "Upload from Clipboard" icon are not appearing there.
Can you please let me know how to bring that icons there?
Points would be awarded.
Rgds,
Shailesh

Hi Ravi,
I have not yet created anything and have just entered the parameter. In the multiple screen for vendors there are 5 fields for individual and 5 for range selection. Even you can put more than five range selections or individual selections by clicking on the page button but there I am not finding these two icons.
Can you please check at your end and let me know if you are getting or what to do to bring those two icons in F110.
Rgds,
Shailesh

Problem in Flat File Uploading

Hi everyone
During a flat file uploading, I get a message for each record of my SKU (Stock Keeping Unit), for eg for SKU 1017023, I got a message
<b>Value '1017023 ' for characteristic PISKU is in external format RRSV 9</b>
PISKU is the field name.
The whole extraction is failing.
Kindly provide me some suggestions as soon as poosible!!
If possible mail me at
[email protected]
Regards
Gajendra Singh

Hi,
It seems there is a space in the value '1017023 '.You have to edit in PSA and then send it again else delete the request and change the flat file entry and reload the data.
Hope this helps
Assign points if useful

Create a flat-file upload for a BO XAI Inbound Service?

Hello all,
If we don't have a schema defined for a BO XAI Inbound Service, how can we create the XSL and the flat-file upload schema file for it.
Any advice?
Regards,
Kerr

I don't have problem to create the XSLT mapping.
But because it is to create a flat-file upload for a Business Object XAI Inbound Service, it doesn't have a schema on the server as to the thread Create Schema for Business Object to use for XAI Inbound Service?
And I can't create that flat-file upload without a schema on the server.
Or I can use the BO XAI Inbound Service WSDL instead to create the mapping for the flat-file upload.

Kerr

BPC delta flat file upload possible?

Hi experts,
Ive been trying to find an answer of whether or not it is possible to retain member data on manual flat file upload into a dimension. We have created a dimension (employee) and have created some dummy nodes member data and would like to determine if it is possible to then keep this manual member data while manually loading further member data through flat file load. Is this sort of manual flatfile delta load possible? If so how? What is best practice here?
Also, is it possible to load data into a dimension using two methods IE manual upload file and then another form (IE BW load) without overwriting data? Im assuming this is where the merge data option comes in to play.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Danielle

Hi Danielle,
While uploading data, if you have added dimension members manually, then, it never gets deleted untill and unless you specify for it.
In your scenario, you have created dummy members and want to upload data thru flat file. Then, the data will be uploaded only for those members for which you want to upload data, rest of the members will display the old data.
As you rightly said earlier, while running data manager package, you need to select MERGE option instead of REPLACE & CLEAR data values. This keeps the old data intact and adds the new ones as well.
Hope this clarifies further.
Rgds,
Poonam

Differentiate file uploaded from explorer view in SharePoint

Hello,
I am working on event receiver which on item adding updates few fields of document in library if those are not empty. The code is working fine in new file, drag and drop but in explorer view, I am not getting afterproperties values except two default field
values (vti_parserversion and vti_filesize). But in updating event we are getting those values.
Is there any way to differentiate file uploaded using explorer view in event receiver? So that I can work on updating in case of explorer view.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to differentiate file uploaded from explorer view in SharePoint 2013.
I made a test in my environment, both the two ways(“new document” or “Open with explorer” ) to upload document, the AfterProperties only contains two default field values(vti_parserversion and vti_filesize) in
ItemAdding method in event receiver.
There are two steps occur when uploading a file to document library, the file is uploaded in the first step, then the list item properties will be modified in the second step.
So, it is recommended to update the fields of document in ItemUpdating
method in event receiver.
Best Regards
