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

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 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.

Does any one know how to resolve the error while flat file upload

Hey guys, I am so struck with this problem, please do let me know if anyone has any suggestions and ideas.
1. I created three InfoObjects, Material Number, Name and Price,which is a keyfigure and has data type DEC and fixed currency USD.
Material Number is "With Master Data ", "With Text" and i added Name and Price as attributes to that.
2.
After that i created an Application component, and therafter a data source for Master data Attibutes.
Now i select my flat file which is .csv file, in this data source. When I click "Load Example Data", i get all the fields from flat file, but the data type for PRICE changes to FLTP with length 16 instead of remaining DEC.
Does anyone have any idea why on earth is this change of Data type taking place ?
Please do me a favour by answering if you know about this problem. Thanks, appreciate it . Byee. And yeah, m just starting off in SAP so I am a total amateur unlike most of the people here.

Am workin on BI 7.0.
Let me put it in another way :
Created Infoobjects: 1) Material No , 2) Material Name 3 ) Price which is the Key Figure
Material No -
has attributes Material Name and Price and " WIth Master Data", With ' Text"
Price: -
data type DEC, fixed currency - USD
After doing things.
Created Application Component:
then, Right Click - Create Data Source,
Selected -- Master Data Attributes
After that from "EXTRACTIO' tab , selected the flat file, which is *.csv
and then in DATA FORMAT - " SEPERATED WITH SEPERATOR"
Then from "PROPOSAL" tab, when i click Load example data, the data from flat file shows up here, but the field PRICE now has Data Type -- " FLTP" and lenght "16"
I hope i was clear enough. thanks

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

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.

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.

Beginner - Flat file upload error Help Please

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to upload a flat file [.csv] for the first time.
I created Info objects Material Id, Material Name , Price as keyfigure.
Material Id holds Material Name and Price as attributes and is With Text and With Master Data.
For the Keyfigure, Price, I have selected Amount and defined as USD.
In the flat file, i have Material id, Material Name, Price, Description for Text, its something like this
Mid         M-Name   Price      DESCRIPTION
10001     A              99.99     AA
When I create an Application Component and thereafter create a data source for master data attributes for Material
and select the flat file and upload it, then the data types for Keyfigure PRICE changes to FLTP Length 16, its no longer as DEC and i get some werid data for Price field, something like
"99.990000000001E+02" instead of 99.99.   Why am I having this problem and how could this be resolved ?
I thought i would start off with my best foot forward but it didnt work. Any kind of help would be highly appreciated. Thanks guys..Byee

Flat file upload in BW

Hi expert,
I'm using BI7 and I have got to upload a flat-file inside an ODS. The problem is that the file is for some fields Textual and for other fields Hexadecimal (Packed format).
For example for this file structure:
Field1 NUM 2
Filed2 PAKED 5
The first row can be:
in textual:
45
in Hexadecimal:
34 35 02 00 F8 20 1F
In what way can I read this file? Binary mode? Textal mode?
In what way do I need to set my datasource?
Thanks

Flat-File Upload - Large File Size

Hello,
i have to upload a very large flat-file with a size of 200 to 300 MB. The upload from the presentation server (local win xp client) fails after exceeding the time limit, because the upload performs in online-mode. I have to approaches to fix the problem.
1. Upload the file to the application server and start upload in batch-mode.
2. Upload the file to the application server and access/read the with "open dataset & read read dataset" line-by-line and write with a function-module into an transactional ODS-Object.
Please provide me with informations/hints about your experience in dealing with large flat files.
Thanks & best regards

Hello Markus
I would suggest you to place the file in the app server and upload in background mode.
This is from SAP Help,
If you want to upload a large amount of transaction data from a flat file, and you are able to specify the file type of the flat file, you should create the flat file as an ASCII file. From a performance point of view, uploading the data from an ASCII file is the most cost-effective method.
In certain circumstances, generating an ASCII file might involve a larger workload.
Hope it helps
Thanks
Chandran
