Flatfile loading-info packager settings

hi guys,
Im trying to load one flatfile into infocube.
when Im doing settings in infopackage,I came across a tabstrip with name EXTERNAL DATA....in that I didnot understand
1.
the two options they gave where I have to choose one.Can u explain the meaning of it.
File is..Data file or Control file......
what does these to options mean and where do we use them in real time...
2.
Currency conversion for external system ....what will happen if i choose this option...in which scenarios do we use this in real time....
3.In DATA TARGETS tabstrip,there are some options to choose...
                     a.Update in all targets for which active rules exist
                      b.delete entire content of datatarget..
     what will happen if i choose these options.....where do we use them in real time....
thanks and rgds

1.File is..Data file or Control file......
In this we have to choose Data File
Please refer
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a6567e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
2.
Currency conversion for external system ....what will happen if i choose this option...in which scenarios do we use this in real time....
This is important when we do flat file and there are Amounts with Currency.There are many currency related settings calculations that need to performed like determining the No of Decimal places for a Currency.
For Eg.
Whenever the amount 123 KRW is loaded in BW, it checks the TCURX table for the KRW currency. After finding the entry in TCURX table, it stores the amount value in target as 123 / {10** (2 u2013 (0))} that is 1.23 KRW. (The amount is divided by 100)
For this to happen, we have to make a specific setting in the InfoPackage thru which we schedule the loads. The checkbox for u201CCurrency Conversion for External Systsu201D should be ticked as shown below

Data Load (Info package and DTP) performance

Hi,
We are planning to perform initialisation expecting 30 million records.
To improve the data load performance i am planning to increase data package size from default value to double the default value
Will that improve the performance

Adjusting the info package size would be helpful...
But don't go with INCREASING the numbers, It's all depends on the your extract structure size, source system memory settings.
I would suggest to do some trail in DEV/QUALITY systems with enough data.
I remember playing in production itself for CRM - 0BPARTNER extractor - we actually reduced the number of records to be extracted per package to improve the performance - we did see the impacts.
First calculate how much is your current package size by number of records extracted per package now with your extract structure size..and then play around..sure it will help unless you DON'T have any excessive ABAP code user exits.
Let us know if you need further help on this

Info package Settings

Hi Dear All,
I request some one to through some knowledge on info package setting for data loading from Source system.
I had gone to Info package-> Scheduler->DataS. Default Data Transfer
Now here I See some settings as below
Maximum size of a data packet in kByte                            20000       (Non edit)
Maximum number of dialog processes for sending data               2    (Non edit)
Number of data packets per Info-IDoc                              10               (Non edit)
Max number of data packet in K bytes = some value that can be edited (Please explain how this works and how to use)
Number of info packets for data records = some value that can be edited (Please explain how this works and how to use)
Here I have a case below for better understanding.
1. I had created a Generic data source by function module.
2. replicated in Bi
3. I had created a info package.
Note: I know that I have only 80000 records to be extracted from source system.
4. Case: a) Max number of data packet in K bytes = 20000
                   Number of info packets for data records = 10
     Result: Found that in the manage of the request no single record is added (0 From 0 Records) after 2hr also.
    Case: b) Max number of data packet in K bytes = 300
                   Number of info packets for data records = 10
    Result: it brings in 3 minutes 517(517 From 0 Records) records and after ten sets it added to records as (5170 From 5170 Records)
Does making changes to "Max number of data packet in K bytes ' will make any changes terms of TIME.
Thanks in advance ......
It is really appreciated.......

Is it necessary to create info package for hierarchy for loading flatfile

is it necessary to create info package for hierarchy for loading flatfile or mantain hierarchy is sufficient for that please suggest

Hi,
there is two ways you can maintain hierarchy data in an master data.
you can manually maintain the data in an infoobject for hierarchy by selecting that particular infoobject and maintain master data option. here u won't need any infopackage creation.
but if you are loading through flat file means you have to create and maintain the path for flat file in infopackage maintenance.
hope this help you

Info Package load 'Time Lag'

Hi Experts,
Is there a table which holds information about time lag of a info package run.
If yes which field of dat table gives this information ?
If there is no direct method, is there a indirect method to derive it from any table.
I badly need to get it from a table, coz I need to document this for lot of info packages, and if I do it manually it takes lot of efforts (going to "details" tab of every info package run and all dat stuff..)
Points would be awarded for sure.
Thanks,
Mihir

Hi Mihir,
Check table: RSMONICTAB -- Monitor, Data Targets(Infocube/ODS) Table, request related info and
RSMONIPTAB -- InfoPackage for the monitor
and also you will get load details from statistics.

How to control data load in Info-Package using ABAP?

Hello Gurus:
I am trying to resolve couple of issues.
1. I need to load data DAILY Full Load into a Planning cube. I have the 0NETDUEDATE   for selection in the
     Info-package. I am getting data from anothe base A/R cube. I want to Load Daily ONLY those records
     for which the "0NETDUEDATE" is Greater than "System Date". I think the logic would be IF 0NETDUEDAT
     .GT. SYS-DATUM, bruing the record. What should be the statement in 'Result' for keeping the record?
     (I don't know ABAP, so need help here...!)
2. Similalry, before loading the data above, I want to delete all the existing records from Planning cube where
     0NETDUEDATE is GT System date (records loaded the previosu day need to be deleted as the amounts may
     have changed). How can I achieve this selective deletion automatically in PC??
Appreciate your feedback very much.
Thanks... SMaa

Hi Shruti,
1) If i understand your requirement correctly you need to load only data which has 0NETDATE greater then sydatum.
So you can do this in infopackage .Infopackage>Data selection->0NETDATE(field)-->type(colum).here you can selecy ABAP type(6).Now you create ABAP code in this.
Here in ABAP code you need to specify high and low range ,Also the relation character like GT or BT(between).
i guess some how ur code will look like this
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -
TABLES: ...
DATA:   ...
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line   -
    InfoObject      = 0NETDUEDATE
    Fieldname       = NETDUEDATE
    data type       = NUMC
    length          = 0000010
    convexit        = PERI6
form compute_NETDUEDATE
tables l_t_range structure rssdlrange
changing p_subrc like sy-subrc.
      Insert source code to current selection field
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.
          l_idx = sy-tabix.
          l_t_range-low = sy-datum.
          l_t_range-option = 'GT'.
          modify l_t_range index l_idx.
          p_subrc = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line         -
endform.
i am not sure about coding but you can surely do it it is like specifying the ranges dynamically(you need to try it out)
(also as mentioned by others you can do this in traansformation routines)but infopackage routine you can directly write in PROD system.
2) And regarding the Selective deletion you donu2019t have nay process type in Process chain which does this
But there is function module u201C rsdri_infoprov_delete " which can be used to develop a program( I guess you must be having a existing ZProgram in ur system already available because this is used commonly.
Other wise you need to develop a ZProgram for this.
Thanks and Regards

Initialize Delta Load in Info Package

Hi,
I want to create 2 info packages for my load from datasource.
One with setting " Initialize Delta load with data transfer " in info package for my first load.
Second info package should be with " Delta Lad " which i am not finding in the second info package i am creating. Can you please tell me how can i get this setting as i am getting only Full or Intialize delta load only.
Regards
Syed

Make sure the following:
1) DataSource is Delta Enabled
2) An Init (or an Early Init) has already been done successfully. You should see the entry in RSA7 of the Source ERP
You should then be able to get the Delta option in the InfoPackage

DO we need to run Info Package every time before DTP Process to load the da

Hi friends,
IN BW 7.0 do we need to run every time the Info Package before DTP process to load the data into target or only one time we need to run the Info package then from that point onwards we need to run DTP process, Please let me know. basically I am planning to create the process chains so I should put Info package before DTP to load the deltas or full load??
Thanks a lot,
Harshan

Hi,
When you are loading from source system i.e. datasource to target, you will always have to use an infopackage to load to PSA and a subsequent DTP.
When loading for instance from DS to Cube, you only need to schedule a DTP.
I hope this helps you.
Best regards,

Error while transporting PCs and Info packages frm dev to qa

Hello Guyz
First of all, I am new to this forum. Heard a lot about it, and I hope I can learn a lot by the exchange of information in this forum. I ve already gone through so many threads, and have gained a lot of insight in BW.
I have an issue, where I am transporting process chains and info packages from dev to qa. But the transports have thrown errors, saying that the 'Source System XXXCLNTXXX does not exist and info package has been deleted'.
My question: How can I transport these objects in such a way that the loads which were going from ECCDEV to BWDEV, now go from ECCQA to BWQA? Are there any settings in SE09 or SE10 or somewhere in BW where I can do this?
Thanks in advance.
Atul.

Hi Atul........
There is no such settings........check this.......
How to transport BW object
Anyways.....I think there is some problem in the Client name.......Just check the Source system name in RSA1...........if it has been changed somehow........then run transaction BDLS and change the source system assignment........

Error Handling in info-package strangely doesn't work

Dear All,
I'm trying to load master-data from R3 containing time-dependent attributes which, I know, are sometimes overlapping. As I still want to load the correct part of data, i've set Processing - via PSA and Error Handling - "Updating valid records, reporting possible" with number of errors more than the dataset itself. However, the load still fails and what is more interesting, all records in PSA are marked as "green" whereas the errors are reported in a log.
And what makes me wonder even more is that the same info-package from the same DS is loaded in a test system OK - with errors handled and "trashed" in PSA and remaining updated in Info-Object MD.
Does anybody can help to resolve this strange problem as i can't honestly see the difference in global settings of test and productive systems that could allow this...
Thank you in advance

Hi,
Here you are extracting data for master data with one of the attribute as time dependent . So there are two more fileds are neccessary in extraction ,i.e, 'from date' and 'to date'.
And it seems there is overlapping of this range for two records. Make sure it in PSA with record numbers. And make sure there will be no overlapping.
With rgds,

Failed info package, failed request turns from red to green after 1 hour so

hi,
There is a failed info package and if u go to monitor screen, the request status will be red in colour but then the same request after 1 hour or so turn from red to green automatically, why is this, what could be the possible reason??????????

Hi Lieu.
The system automatically sets the status for the load to incorrect if the waiting time is exceeded. The load will still be running even though it might look incorrect, and that is why it turns green when it is complete (and everything is correct).
You can set the waiting time if you go to the monitor -> choose a request -> settings -> waiting time up to status incorrect (ctrl + F9).
Hope it helps (assign points if helpfull!).

Setting in info package

Hi,
When we create info package on 3.x data source, we can find the setting like Separator for Thousands and 'Character Used for Decimal Point' in info package but where can I find these setting in info package when it is created on 7.0 data source?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You will never get such option in Infopackage level for any datasource be it 3.X or 7.0 except for Extraction tab of Flat File data source.
The option for decimal character and separator comes in the EXTRACTION tab of the Flat File data source IP only and no where else. I think you are getting confused with this
In the flatfile data source you require these settings to be done before hand so that while extraction system can recognize the correct field values and field sequence.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.

Delta update in Info package

Hai all
what is the us of delta update in info package
I had intially loaded data from R/3 to psa using
(INFO PACKAGE->UPDATE-->Initilize delta process)
Then I had created to more records in r/3 side .
this time I scheduled using DELTA UPDATE I am getting 0 records
then what is the use of delta update
How can I get only delta records with out use of selection condition in DATA SELECTION of INFO PACKAGE
thanks
chaithanya

Hi,
You must specify "1" (day) in the lower limit of the delta maintenance.
I could not post my previous reply so here a new try :
Hi Chaithanya,
Let me explain how the generic delta mechanism with "date"-field works on the R/3 side:
When doing a delta extraction, the current date is stored in table ROOSGENDLT or ROOSGENDLM (anyway not so important).
This date will serve as a "from" date for the next delta extraction, though excluding the current value.
This in order to prevent duplicate records to be extracted during a second delta run on the same day.
Without extra settings, it will thus not be possible to extract two different delta's on date the same day.
Solution :
1. If you do not care about duplicate data (e.g. only field assignments with overwrite functionality in the transformation) goto RSO2 in change mode for your extractor and go into the generic delta maintenance screen. In the settings, enter "1" as safety interval lower limit. Like this, the delta processing mechanism will always subtract 1 day from the day stored as 'low-value'.
In your example this means that the initialisation will transfer 4 records, the delta will transfer 6 (although only 2 were added).
2. Use timestamps to determine delta (timestamp should be updated on savetime of record)
I hope this helps.
regards,
Olav
