Flat file upload has zero as dash -

Hi,
I have a .csv that I upload in a datasource. It has a "-" character for zero values.
Is there a conversion routine to convert  a - to a 0?
Or another way to handle this easily?
thanks,
Max

Hi Max,
Change the '-' to '0' in the CSV fle itself, save the file, close it & then load the data.
You can press Ctrl+F to replace all the '-' by '0' in CSV at oneshot.
Goto Replace tab after pressing Ctrl+F, enter the following
Find what= -
Replace with= 0.
Then clcik on replace all
Hope it helps!

Pavan

  • Flat file upload: constans in TRs?

    Hi,
    I am having a flat file, which has only limited fields, where as the requirement is to upload all the fields which are relevant!
    However,  for the remaing fields which are relevant are all constants!
    In a case such as the above said, can we have some of the fields from flat file and some as a constans in transfer rules?
    or in other words, can we have constants in flat file info source with out being physically present in the falt file?
    will the uplaod successful with these transfer rules?
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi,
    OK now i got understood the problem!
    problem is with the 0CALMONTH field! some times it has values like 062007 072007. but as we know in excel all leading zeroes will disappear when you save it! and those fields are appearing as 62007 and 72007.
    now i have a note pad which has correct format of date field values as follows!
    210010      112006     -1663000
    210010     122006     4544
    210010     042007     4544
    210010     052007     11360
    second column is the date field.
    what should i declare in data separator and escape signs in scheduler?
    it is not allowing me to have blank values in data seperator.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

  • 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

  • ALBPM 6.0 : The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.

    Hi,
    I use AquaLogic BPM Entreprise server to deploy my Process. When I try to publish a process on my server I get the following error:
    An unexpected error ocurred.
    The error's technical description is:
    "javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: null"
    Possible causes are:
    The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.
    If you are trying to publish an exported project you should publish it using the remote project option.
    If you are trying to upload the participant's photo you should choose a smaller one.
    An internal error has ocurred, please contact support attaching this page's source code.
    Has someone resolve it?
    Thank's.

    Hi,
    Sure you've figured this out by now, but when you get the "Maximum size for file uploads" error during publish consider:
    1. if your export project file is over 10mb, use "Remote Project" (instead of "Exported Project") as the publication source. That way when you select the remote project, you will point to ".fpr" directory of the project you are trying to publish.
    Most times your project is not on a network drive that the server has access to. If this is the case, upload the .exp file to the machine where the Process Administrator is running, then expand it in any directory (just unzip the file). Then, from the Process Administrator, use the option to publish a Remote Project by entering the path to the .fpr directory you just created when unzipping the project.
    2. Check to see if you have cataloged any jars and marked them as non-versionable. Most of the times the project size is big just because of the external jar files. So as a best practice, when you do a project export select the option "include only-versionable jars", that will get reduce the project size considerably (usually to Kb's). Of course you have to manually copy the Jar files to your Ext folder.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Kerr

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Web Dynpro component - Flat file upload

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to upload a flat file to Planning cube (real time cube) through Web Dynpro component.
    Web Dynpro component which we have developed is able to read the records from the flat file.
    Now, the issue is u201CHow can we save the records read from the flat file to planning cubeu201D?
    If anyone has worked on the similar requirement, pls reply. Thanks in advance.
    Note : We have a planning sequence which will be executed on the click of UPLOAD button.
                  This planning sequence has a filter on Infoprovider (cube which we are using for planning) and a planning function of type u201CFile uploadu201D in which we have defined the flat file format.
                  Aggregation level is made on Multiprovider which has 2 underlying cubes (One is realtime and other one is standard).
    Is there any function module in which we can pass the name of the flat file so that it will be uploaded in planing cube?
    Regards,
    Ankur
