Flat file upload with error

Dear all,
We are using BI7.00 and in one of our data load, which is running automatically, the flat file will be generated in the common location and then load takes place automatically based on event.
My problem is in one of our file, the field named "customer location" has a long address seperated with commas like for example "Chakan-Talegaon,Mahaalunge,CHAKAN,P," -> this value should be accomadated in one field only but since the seperator is "," system assumes it as seperate field and pushes the other value to the next field. The next field is a qty field and hence when this character is moved to the qty field , data load fails due to mismatch.
My requirement is since it is automatic generation of the file and load is also automatically carried out, manual change to the file cannot be carried out.Is there any way of making system understand that for this particular field if the value is with commas seperated between values, system should not consider it as seperate field value.
Expert suggestion required.
Regards,
M.M

Thank you all for the reply.
Dear Godhuli,
Thank you for your reply. I tried the same as per your information, i.e., the data seperator as "^" and the escape sign as " . Sorry this doesn't work for me , in the sence , the data load takes place without error but in the PSA all the fields are without values.
I could not percieve the correction method that has to be adopted to solve my problem. Experts solution is expected.
Kindly provide help to solve my problem.
Regards,
M.M

Hierarchy from flat file loading with errors - duplicate node names

Hello experts,
I am loading a product hierarchy from a flat file into a custom hierarchy
object. The issue is that it errors out saying I am loading
duplicates within nodes, however all node IDs within a level are unique.
It seems to be looking at the node name to determine uniqueness and I know
we have some duplication within the text there especially when you factor
in the 32 character limitation for the node name. Does anyone have an idea
as to whether it is possible to have it only consider the node ID instead
of the node name to determine uniqueness?
A colleague suggested using the link ID to fix this problem but I don't know how that field works or how to populate it.
I'm working in a BI 7.0 environment (I don't know if that makes a difference since you still have to use the 3.x objects to extract the hierarchy).
Any help would be appreciated.
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
You may wish to check this OSS Note 1026749 - Hierarchies: Consistency check for duplicate nodes and 912115 (old one)
Symptom -
When you load or activate a hierarchy it terminates with error message RH 109 or RH 211. The hierarchy contains duplicate nodes and this is not allowed. The long texts of messages RH 109 or RH 211 do not describe the reason for the problem sufficiently or they are partially incorrect.
There is uncertainty about in which cases duplicate nodes exist in a hierarchy and in which cases duplicate nodes are allowed.
Hope this helps,
Bye...

Problem with flat file upload with ASCII file

Hi All,
I am trying to load data into an ODS object via PSA using a text file (tab delimited). I have the following settings in my InfoPackage
External Data tab: ASCII File
Seperator for thousands:
Character for decimal point:
Currency Conversion:
Number of Header rows to be ignored: 1
Processing tab: Only PSA and Update into data targets subsequently
When I do a preview the data is not showing up in the right format....the tab seperation does not work and data is garbled with extra hexadecimal characters too.
The same file contents in .csv format is loading the data in the right format and preview is fine too.
I need help trying to convert this csv file to .txt format.
Any clues are highly appreciated
Thank you

Hi,
If in the infopackage you click on a File Type ASCII-file (CR delimiter) radiobutton and then F1, youll see the help:
With an ASCII file as a data source, the data has to be available as a string in the format of the transfer structure. There are no data separators, empty characters are not ignored.
This means that:
-     you shouldnt use any delimiters among the record fields
-     all fields should have the length the system expects (length of the appropriate infoobject in transfer structure)
-     each record should be separated from the next by carriage return CR.
Since I think the program that converts file from Excel format into CR-delimited would be very useful, I created such program in VBA.
So, open your Excel file (if you have csv-file you can open it using Excel).
The program assumes that the first row of the file contain field names. Data itself begin from the 2nd row. Insert as the 1st and 2nd rows the new, blank rows.
Into A1 cell insert number of the last row with data, into B1 number of the last column. Certainly, it may be determined in the program, but I have not done it if someone wants it, s/he can try it.
Into fields of the 2nd row insert expected length of the field.
Make sure that Visual Bacis toolbar is seen. (If not tick in menu path: View/Toolbars/Visual Basic).
In this toolbar click on a Design Node icon.
Drag from the toolbar and drop into worksheet a Command button element.
Double click on the button. In the open window for Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() subroutine insert the following code:
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim J As Long, I As Long, L As Long
Dim FileName As String, Out As String, formatOut As String
Dim LenCell As Long
Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("SHEET1")
FileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Left(ThisWorkbook.Name, Len(ThisWorkbook.Name) - 3) & "txt"
Open FileName For Output As #1
For J = 4 To ws1.Cells(1, 1)
    Out = ""
    For I = 1 To ws1.Cells(1, 2)
        formatOut = (ws1.Cells(J, I))
        L = Len(formatOut)
        LenCell = Val(ws1.Cells(2, I))
        If L > LenCell Then
            formatOut = Left(formatOut, LenCell)
        Else
            Do While L < LenCell
                formatOut = formatOut & " "
                L = L + 1
            Loop
        End If
        Out = Out & formatOut
    Next
        Print #1, Out
Next
Close #1
Set ws1 = Nothing
MsgBox "File transformation finished!", vbOKOnly
Now return to Excel sheet, click again Design Node icon switching into run mode.
When you press on this button now, the ASCII program will be created. It will have the same name as an input file (and in the same directory), but with TXT extention.
Remarks:
-     The program works with the current worksheet named as SHEET1.
-     Fields that are shorter than those expected by the system are padded by spaces from the right. It should not be the problem, since in transfer structure you can check symbols only flag.
-     Longer fields are truncated to the length expected.
Best regards,
Eugene

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 Source [2]] Error: Cannot open the datafile "VendorPurchases20050512.txt".

hi
I'm trying to use foreachloop container in order to read the data that i have in several txt files and upload it into MRR table.
when i'm trying to run the package, i'm getting the following error:
[Flat File Source [2]] Warning: The system cannot find the file specified.
[Flat File Source [2]] Error: Cannot open the datafile "VendorPurchases20050512.txt".
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: Flat File Source failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
I don't know what's the problem since it was working before.In the flat file connection manager i defined all the path including the name of the file.
I'll be happy for assistance
thanks
Yaron

Hi Yaron,
Does the file stored in local file system or a share folder on remote server? If you can load data from a file in local computer, but cannot load data from a file in a remote computer, the issue may be caused by the Kerberos authentication. In this condition,
check the following points:
Enable SQL Server for Kerberos
Check delegation settings for SQL Server service account and Computer
Add Host SPNs for FileShare Server and SQL Server

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.

File Uploading with two command button

Hi all,
After a long I return back.
I am having a JSP page with some mandatory fields and one attach document field.
I am using JSF framework so for file upload i used the tag <t:inputfileupload>, for compulsion fields I used the attribute required = true.
My problem is,
If i attach the file and click attach button before filling mandatory fields the action method is not called. Only after filling the mandatory fields the action method is called. What may be the reason for this?
Is there any example for file uploading with in form and it has two separate command buttons?

If you check your log files it will most likely be mentioned there.

[Flat File Destination [220]] Error: Failed to write out column name for column "Column 2"

I am using SSIS to extract fixed width data into a flat file destination and I keep getting below error. I have tried almost everything in this forum but still no solution. can anyone help me out to solve this problem.

Hi Giss68,
Could you check the Advanced tab of the Flat File Connection Manager to see whether the InputColumnWidth and the OutputColumnWidth properties of the Column2 has the same value? Please refer to the following link about the same topic:

File upload with 'asp vb' backend

Hello,
I am trying to get file uploading with flex (flash buider) working. There are plenty of examples with a php backend, but i need the script for a 'asp vb' backend.
I' ve tried lots of different approaches but can't get it right. Someone out there with a solution?
Thanx!!

Believe it or not I have to do this also.
I have legacy ASP code that uses ASPUpload that I'd like to get working with my Flash CS5 and FlashBuilder Burrito front-ends.
it's just multipart encoded.
So, if you first test it with ASPUpload and a simple form, trying just FILE1 first, and it works with ASP backend then tackle the FlashBuilder side with some debugging.
ASPUpload is still an extremely embedded component on tens of thousands if not more sites, and it was just updated, but I think the previous version just before this update, the one that's out there in code on so many sites, that is what Flash needs to work with.
ASPUpload is doing its part, as it follows all the multipart encoded RFC rules and has worked for years.
I'd love to join you in finding out what's going on here.
This is a long-standing issue.
I've done PHP also. But again, enhancing an interface with FlashBuilder4 or Burrito, to integrate with working legacy code makes it hard when something is not working on the Flash side (it appears anyway) as ASPUpload form posts are extremely easy.

Encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43

Hi!
I've tried everything but still, after about 20 hours of encoding DVD Studio Pro just stoppes, saying "encoding failed in "file name" with error: -43". The movie is in DV PAL format and made in Final Cut Pro version 5. I'm using DVD Studio Pro 4.0. The movie is about 1 hour and 30 minutes long and I'm trying to put it on a double layer DVD. I've tried to shorten it (it was nearly 2 hours before), but that didn't help. I also tried to shorten it even more and put it on a single layer DVD, but still the same message.
So if somebody has any idea of how I can solve this problem, please let me know as soon as possible!
Thank you!

Error -43 means "File not found." If you are compressing from a reference movie, make sure that all referenced movie clips are present on the disk and that permission settings are not preventing DVD Studio Pro from accessing them.
Error -1309 means "Out of bounds." This means that the source file is pretending to be bigger than it actually is.
So it sounds like there are issues with your source movie.
P.S. Compressor has a much better MPEG-2 encoder and I would recommend using that instead.

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

Multiple File Upload With Metadata Using REST

hi all
I want to upload multiple files with metadata to document library using REST API. I am using this msdn article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn769086(v=office.15).aspx for uploading file. I am able to upload single file to document library but it is not working for multiple file. when I select multiple file it is uploading last selected file. can
anyone help with this. I am using office 365 environment.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use the REST to upload multiple files.
Per my knowledge, the REST API is not supported for uploading multiple files via a single call.
You can write your own loop to upload multiple files via an individual call.

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.
