Flexible Upload

Hi,
I have done the configuration for Flexible upload and able to bring the data into the BCS cube. This upload brings the content data from the file, but we need to have the details like file name also to be brought into the cube.
Request to provide inputs on the same.
Thanks in advance,
Abdul

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for your reply,
By saying brought to the infocube means, the data is coming in the totals records cube.
I need to bring the file name into the same totals record cube, for eg:
the file uploaded through flexible upload is like :C:// Test folder/Test1
Now this Test1 name should get displayed into the infocube. As per the last log we can see the details of the file location etc; but the need is to bring the same file name into the cube.
Appreciate your advice.
Thanks in advance,
Abdul

Short Dump - GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED - Flexible upload of RFD

Hi,
SEM 6.0 / BI 7.0
When i try to do a Flexible upload for a sample RFD, i get the following dump:
Runtime Errors         GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED

What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "CL_UC_TASK_EXECUTION==========CP" had to be

Error analysis
    You attempted to access an unassigned field symbol
    (data segment 32776).
    This error may occur if
    - You address a typed field symbol before it has been set with
      ASSIGN
    - You address a field symbol that pointed to the line of an
      internal table that was deleted
    - You address a field symbol that was previously reset using
      UNASSIGN or that pointed to a local field that no
      longer exists
    - You address a global function interface, although the

Flexible upload - Delete all / Cumulative
Has anyone encountered this type of dump before?
My Observation
(Data Rows contain the following columns - Item / Company / Trading partner / PV LC)
When i give a trading partner which is not defined in the system, the system is interpreting the header row & data rows. Also, it gives an error message for each row.
But,
When i give a trading partner which is defined in the system, or when i remove the trading partner column in total, it throws the above short dump.
The breakdown category defined in the system are Trading partner & Movement type.
Both, have the breakdown type 1. (optional breakdown, initialized value allowed).
Pls note that after several permutations & combinations - to trace the error, i have removed all the columns & kept the minimum required (Item / Company / Trading partner / PV LC).
Appreciate your comments / inputs.
Thanks!
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
The note refers to FINBASIS 300 release.
In the present system we have, it is FINBASIS 600.
I raised an OSS message.
Anyway, implementation of the note helped me with all releases.
But, first of all, I mentioned another remedy that you may see here:
SPRO: SEM/Business Analytics -> Fin. Basis -> Master Data Framework -> System Settings -> Profile Parameter Setting.
It's about setting parameter for ABAP shared memory on the server. If you do not set this parameter to 200-300 MB, you constantly will have the errors like I mentioned while trying to save master data. Did you read my previous message carefully and look at this hint?
In case of breakdown type 1 - the upload should happen - if we dont specify any values for the breakdown category. Pls confirm.
- Confirmation. The system will accept any value, including null.
Is it true that we cannot load RFD data (with both movement type & trading partner information), in one go? If yes, what is the reason behind it.
- No confirmation. Where is it from? I always do such a load.

Upload FS Items master using flexible upload-SEM-BCS

I want to upload FS Items master using flexible upload in SEM BCS. I was wondering if i could have a sample upload format of the file. Kindly help.

Hi Ramanathan and welcome to SDN!
Everything depends on your settings in a flexible upload method.
You may use a comment character (like an asterisk) to show fields names and choose a fields delimiter (say, ';').
In this case you may have a file for upload something like the following.
These are fields in a header
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4 etc.
Field1Val;Field2Val;Field3Val;Field4Val
These are fields in rows
Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8 etc.
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val
Best regards,

External field catalog & Info object catalogs - Role - in Flexible upload

1) What is the role of Info Object catalogs maintained in the Data Basis & the Source Data Basis?
Please be kind enough to mention a scenario u2013 underlining their utility in the consolidation process.
Like u2026.
Are they used for loading master data from source system to the BCS system?
Can they be used in the flexible upload u2013 data collection function?
Are they used for as a source of AFD data?
I came across the below documentation on flexible upload - in an SAP material.
*When uploading from a field catalog, you also have the option of using mapping. In this case, the file structure no longer has to correspond with the structure of the data basis.*
Understood the above 2 points.
*Rather, you can assign a BW InfoObjectCatalog that acts as the data structure description for the file here. You specify this InfoObjectCatalog in Customizing for the data basis.*
2)Does the above statement implies that we need not do any setting in the field catalog tab of the flexible upload? If yes, what do we do?
In the flexible upload u2013 field catalog tab u2013 we define the data structure for the file we upload (correct me if Iu2019m wrong).
If you use an external field catalog, you have to specify how you want to map the data structure for the file to the structure for the data basis.
3)Pls give an example of an external field catalog.
4)Can we use an external field catalog in the upload of RFD?
Many Thanks
Kind Regards,
Kumar

There are two possibilities of using Infoobject catalog in SEM-BCS (it is true for both catalogs, characteristics and key figures):
u2022 In a data basis. The system adds these chars and KFs that are sitting in the defined in the Data Basis catalogs to u201CAdditional Fieldsu201D of each data stream (the tab strip u201CData Stream Fieldsu201D in data basis. If you check some of these fields and generate data basis, these additional infoobjects will be placed into appropriate ODS/DSO objects and you will be able to use them for uploading of some extra information.
Without indicating the Infoobject Catalog for Chars youu2019ll not be able to configure a new functionality of "assets/liabilities" at all.
u2022 In a source data basis.
After including source data basis to your data basis youu2019ll be able to use external infoobjects catalog in a method of the category Flexible Upload. Tick the flag of using the external catalog and choose the SDB. In the mapping tab youu2019ll have a possibility to choose from those chars and KFs that are located in the catalogs.
This might be used for upload of ANY data, RFD, AFD or master data.
The scenarios, I guess, are rather obvious.
Hope this helps.

I/U profit and loss in Inventory : Flexible upload of Inventory Data

Hello people! gurus!!
In Data Collection, I have defined flexible upload to Inventory Data as Data Type;
then I tried to connect this in Method, however in the options belong to Data Stream, u201Ctotal recordsu201D and u201Cdocumentsu201D are my only options.
Should it appear options to relate as Inventory Data and Supplier ?

Flexible upload of profitcenter nodes from CSV is restructured after succes

Hi;
I'm having a problem with using flexible upload loading data center nodes into an existing structure. The result is that Inside that profit center hierarchy a node 1000 is created in which the nodes specified in the CSV file are created. It is found that the hierarchy structure is not maintained as the newly created nodes are created under earchother.
Based on the idea that a hierarchy has been created as a profit center group with exactly the same structure it is not understoud why it is not possible to do this for the profit center. Additionally it demonstrates that the flexible upload function is understoud and is configured correctly. As well the file is properly setup.
This website was used http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/62/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
I'm looking to understand why it is that the nodes are created differently for a profit center group then a profit center, It is suggested that the problem lies in the fact that the profit center was created and is under a specific configuration that does not allow me to add nodes to it.
THis is the structure:
H
--N1
   --N2
      -- The node that is added here and one level below is placed under "N3 1000"
--N3 1000
   --The node is added here
   --The child is added as a sibling
It was noticed that N3 is labeled as 1000 which is the controlled area. When refering to the log it has been found that the CO area was automatically populated with 1000 dispite this not having been done in the CSV file. Therefore it is assumed that there is a relationship between the nodes being added to the 1000 node and the controlled area.
Any suggestions are welcome. Would it be required to provide more detail with regards to the problem then please state this.

Hi,
IMHO, the culprit is a CO area set as an external attrbute int the hierarchy of PC and PCG.
AFAIR, CO area might/must be a linked attribute to PC (see the last tabstrip in PC infoobject screen) and that's why it should be fixed in the ConsArea settings (and populated aotomatically durung the data load).
If I were you I would try the following:
- ask the basis guys make a backup copy of the system
- delete CO Area from the external char of PC & PCG hierarchies
- set CO Area as a linked attribute to PC & PCG (if it is really needed - very often it's not needed if CO area has just the only value (which is fixed in the ConsArea settings)). => NB => These changes are very significant for BW and it's not always possible to done without data deletion.
- regenerate the BCS data basis (and probably the ConsArea).
The 1st step is needed because SEM-BCS very often does not regenerate properly the data basis (it simply doesn't see the changes). In the forum topics I several times explained how to force the system to see these changes (just drag and drop any role in the definiton of the BCS data basis and the save it).
This is (significant change in underlying properties of BW infoobjects) the main painpoint in changes BW for SEM-BCS. In my practice, unfortunately, it required not less than several attempts (even with dumps). And unfortunately it may require the full data deletion in the cubes which play role in the data basis. It might be the main charge for the bad desifn of the BW structures for SEM-BCS.
Hopefully, you'll avoid it.
Good luck!
Linked attribute = compound attribute.

Flexible Upload of Data for several periods/years

Hey Colleagues,
my client wants me to develop a new functionality to upload data for several periods/years. The function they are using right now and correctly is the flexible upload.
As we have already developed several custom tasks and enhancements/modifications we try to not modificate further SAP standard or to post directly (back-door solution)
But:
It is no problem to start the flexible upload for different selecitons and to provide the values in an excel sheet. But I have problems to avoid a popup for selecting the excel file. It would be no problem if for example Batch-Input would work here, or if we would post directly using standard functionality (posting method with data change) but in this case we try to use the flex upload.
Has anyone experienced a similiar problem? Can we use the flex upload with suppressing the popup to select the file WITHOUT an enhancement?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Yavuz

Hi Yavuz,
Yes this can work for every period in one year - use the multiperiod processing option, available since EHP2 (BCS 6.02).
The multiperiod processing requires you to define the consolidation cycle and start period, so you could define it to start with p1 and include all 12+ periods of the year.
NB the multiperiod processing is initiated by running with selection screen - right click and selec "run for remaining periods of the year"
You can run either a task or a task group for the rest of the consoliation cycle, but data collection with flexible upload MUST have the presentation server settings (already mentioned above) or the data collection task will not work.
So you make the configuration settings
You then save your multi-period file on the presentatin server
You then go to data collection (flexible upload) task in p1 and "run for remaining periods"

Flexible upload of Reported Financial Data with Dr/Cr Sign

Hi! All.
I want to upload the reported financial data of Cons. Unit with Dr./Cr. Signhowever, there is no field in
Flexible upload that Dr/Cr Sign can be mapped to. If I map Dr/Cr Sign to Free Field , the system does not recognize that (Dr/Cr Sign) field..Please advise.
Secondly, Does the Reptd. Financial data has to have signs for FS Items.why does not the system pick up the signs of the FS Items of Cons. Units from the FS Items defined in BCS??
Thanks for your input.
Victor

Hi Victor,
Do you know the concept of master and transaction data? -- As usually, you populate master data (attributes, like DR/Cr sign as in your case) first, and only then - the transaction data.
Load attributes of FS items through flexible upload or enter them manually.
After that the system will interpet incoming totals records according to the signs of the item and data.
Pay attention to the fact that not only item sign, but also a movement type sign might be interpreted by the system during a load.
Check if in your flexible upload method you checked the appropriate flags: take into account signs of item or MovType.
The interpretation is occurred as follows:
For example, your item has a negative sign and want to see in the totals negative amount. In this case the data record for this item should have a positive sign.
If the load method also takes into account a movement type sign, then loading data with 140 MoveType will result in + amount:
''(in data) * '-'(in item) * '-'(in MoveType) = ''.
However, with MoveType 120 you'll bring into the system the negative amnt:
''(in data) * '-'(in item) * ''(in MoveType) = '-'.
I'm assuming here that you set the appropriate (standard) signs for a MovType.
Best regards,
Eugene

Flexible Upload of master data including attributes - error at new attrib.

Dear all,
trying to use the flexible upload for loading master data with attributes the system aborts if there new values have to be created for attributes, e.g. New Business Unit has region FR, Region FR actually does not exist as key. Therefore at first the value for Region has to be created within BCS and after that the load of the new Business Unit will be successful.
Does anybody know if it possible or which seeting within the upload customizing must be chosen that the new attribut value automatically could be created during upload of the main characteristic?
Kind regards
Dieter

Hello Dieter,
your first way was the right way - befor you can upload Business Units with attribut FR you have to create the attribute in BCS.
It is not possible to create master data for two different characteristics in one flexible upload method.
In the definition of the upload method you have to choose which characteristic you try to upload...
best regards
Thomas

Simple question on uploading reported Fin. data with Flexible upload

Hi.
I am trying to upload Rep. Fin. Data with Flexible upload. I found that the all CR item should have the number with - sign. Firstly I think that Dr/Cr sign field in FS item will work for deciding the sign of all number but it doesn't seem to be. Is my finding right?
or do I missed something?.
I just followed the help as below
Data Entry
Debit/Credit Sign
You define a fixed debit/credit sign so that item values can be entered without the need for specifying the debit/credit sign (for example, in manual data entry or in flexible upload).
● You enter a debit (plus/) sign for asset items and expense items.+
● You enter a credit (minus/-) sign for equity and liability items and revenue items.
When you enter item values, you only enter absolute amounts or quantities. When the values are written to the database, the system multiplies each entered value by the debit/credit sign of the item (and when applicable, by the debit/credit sign of the item's subassignment).
If I missed anything, please advise me.
If my finding is right, please let me know what is the use of DR/CR sign in FS item.

Hi,
Your findings are correct.
Your may have (and may use) the sign of FS item and sign of MovementType. They may work during data load, in order to place data into database with the proper sign. That's all.

Master Data Flexible Upload from Application Server?

Hi Group,
Anyone know if it's possible to do a flexible upload of master data from a flat file on the application server?
I'd like to upload FS items and hierarchies from the BCS app server into our development environment, then transport to QA & PROD. We would obviously need some way to "save" after the upload was complete.
In the workbench, I can right click--> execute on the flex upload method and get a pop-up for a workstation file. In a data collection method, I can specify a logical file & filename, but I cannot choose master data (which might have allowed me to run a data collection method via the workbench).
Anyone accomplished this before? Or have any ideas if/how this is possible?
Thanks,
- Chris

Hi Christopher,
It is not possible to assign Flexible Upload Method with Master Data to be assigned to Data Collection Method.
Flexible Upload with Master Data should be executed independently from Workbench. This is system design.

Uploading Master Data using Flexible upload.

Hi All,
I am trying to post my current project scenario, in simple terms. Please guide me with inputs or pointers....
I have two flat files
File1, has - Emp Number, Emp Name, Emp Salary.
FIle2, has - Emp Number, Emp SSN, Emp ph #, Short text, Medium text, Long Text.
Now I need to upload these two flat files into an InfoObject(EmployeeNumber ). Such that Emp Number, Emp Name, Emp Salary, Emp SSN, Emp ph # - fields get into the EmployeeNumber InfoObject - Attributes table.
And Short text, Medium text, Long Text gets into the Text table of the EmployeeNumber InfoObject.
I think, this is an ideal scenario for flexible upload of master data. But I donno wat steps I need to follow to accomplish this. I would appreciate if someone can help me with a detailed solution or any pointers.
Thanks
-kiran
ps : All useful replies will be awarded points.

Hi Kiran,
Welcome to SDN !!
I believe you have already created the master data info-objects and assigned the attributes to the master data. Select short, medium and long text in the info-object definition.
Next step would be to insert the master data (attributes and texts) as info-providers in the info-provider section of AWB. Go to the info-area -> right click -> insert characteristics as data target (select the info-object from the list) (you should switch on the text and master data in the definition itself).
Next step, create two flat file info-sources for the two files. Create the update rules for the two info-sources and create the info-package to extract the master data.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Soumya

SEM-BCS: Problems in Flexible Upload

Good morning to you all!
In SEM-BCS, for the equity and investments data we use to processes: the users can do it the Manual Entry or upload from a TXT file using the Flexible Upload Method.
In the Flexible Upload Setting I had already try the three options available: Deleted Changed Ones; Overwrite, Do Not Modify (Delete All is not a option because it will erase the manual entries data) and they will accumulate the data entries in the file (same file, executed twice).
Can anyone help me?
