Generate target/out file with header record as Record Count ?

Hi Kareem, Please try the below approach. Pipeline 1: Load actual data(without header with record count) from source to target. Let say your file name is intermediate1.dat Pipeline 2: Take the target from pipeline 1 as source and create the header with count of source file using an aggregator. The filename of target for pipeline 2 will be your final file(header and detail data). Pipeline 3: Take the target of pipeline 1 again and do 1-to-1 load to the target file of second pipeline. In session properties, dont forget to tick the check box append if exists for the third pipeline target. There may be other simple approaches also. If you have no time in hand try the above approach. Let me know if you find any issues. Thanks,Deeshan.

Flat File with multiple record types (OWB 10.2.0.2)

Hi!
I`m using OWB 10.2.0.2 and I`m trying to load a flat file with multiple record types, using SQL LOADER.
In the flat file editor in the Record tab, I`ve set the type values and the corresponding record names like this:
Type Value Record Name
======== ===========
T TRAILER
0 DETAILS
1 DETAILS
2 DETAILS
When using this flat file in a mapping to load the data in a staging table, the generated code looks like this:
INTO TABLE TRAILER
TRUNCATE
REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
WHEN (1:1) = 'T'
INTO TABLE DETAILS
APPEND
REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2'
The above clause (WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2') is wrong as I expect one "INTO TABLE..." clause for each record type.
Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Yorgos

We`re using two target tables, one for the trailer record and the other for the details records.
We are facing this problem from the moment we upgraded from OWB 10.1 to OWB 10.2.0.2, so we think it must be something with the way the sql loader code is generated in the new version.
As our data sources are mainly flat files coming from mainframes, this is a huge problem for us. We even asked an expert in DW from Oracle to help us on this, but still haven`t found a solution.
Is there any workaround for this or should we forget sql loader and go with an external tables + custom PL/SQL code solution?
Your help is greatly appreciated Jean-Pierre.

How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?

Hi!
To load unicode data files with fixed records lengths (in terms of charachters and not of bytes!) using SQL*Loader manually, I found two ways:
Alternative 1: one record per row
SQL*Loader control file example (without POSITION, since POSITION always refers to bytes!)<br>
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
INFILE unicode.dat
INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
TRUNCATE
A CHAR(2) ,
B CHAR(6) ,
C CHAR(2) ,
D CHAR(1) ,
E CHAR(4)
) Datafile:
001111112234444
01NormalDExZWEI
02ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
03ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
04üüüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Alternative2: variable length records
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
INFILE unicode_var.dat "VAR 4"
INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
TRUNCATE
A CHAR(2) ,
B CHAR(6) ,

E CHAR(4)
) Datafile:
001501NormalDExZWEI002702ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö002604üuüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Problems
Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
* How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
* How to suppress the POSITION definition?
* How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi Carsten
If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.

Reading fixed length file with different record types

Hi,
I need to read a fixed-length file with different record types, but the record identifier is in 31st position and not in 1st position.
But if I give 31 as position in File adpater wizard, BPEL takes whole 1-31 as identifier.
How we need to read such files.

1 xml file to multiple xml files with 200 records in each

Hello Experts,
I have below scenario.
Please suggest me which might be the best approch to work on.
1) XML file to XML file
I will have 1 pretty huge XML file which i need to break in multiple XML files with 200 records each.
1) first approch i can have bpm in which i can split the file according to my requirement.
2) Second approch i can create 2 scenarios in which 1st scenario will pick up XML file and create multiple flat files with File content conversion. Second scenario will pick up all these flat files and create XML files.
2) XML file to XML file
Or i can have multiple files with 1 record per file and i need to merge in multiple XML files with 200 records in each.
So its kind of 1:N or M:N scenarios.
Please tell me which is might be better performance and design wise.
Or if you have any idea in any other way i can do this, then please reply as soon as possbile.
Please tell me if you have OS command for the same or some script to run or anything which i can implement.
Thanks,
Hetal

what is your senario? is it File to File?
You can use multi mapping concept without BPM. You can handle the 200 records per message logic in the multimapping.

Please, I need help - How can I generate a text file with Word format?

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
is it possible for me to create a text file - that is, with TEXT_IO.fopen, and so on - that's already formatted as a Word document?
We have a Forms program here, where it's needed to generate a text file with .RTF format, 8 centimeters margin, Times New Roman font, with size 7.
Best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Hello Shay,
sincere thanks for your answer. And, to answer your last question, I'm using client-server model.
Since I couldn't create this .RTF file by using built-ins like TEXT_IO, I tried to generate an .RTF file using Reports, passing the parameters DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT, as shown below.
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter, 'FILE');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESNAME', text_parameter, 'c:\franklin.rtf');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESFORMAT', text_parameter, 'RTF');
However, the just generated .RTF file is uncomprehensible. After opening the file at Microsoft Word, I can see the following message at the top of file:
This file was created by Oracle Reports. Please view this document in Page Layout mode.
... and informations doesn't appear as desired.
If I can't generate such text format by using TEXT_IO, and if generating an .RTF file through Reports shows me an incomprehensible result, how can I export the selected result to an .RTF file?
When Reports is opened, choosing Generate to file -> RTF doesn't export anything.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

VSAM file with multiple record layouts (COBOL REDEFINES)

Hi. We're using Tuxedo 12c to migrate a COBOL/CICS/VSAM application from MVS to Solaris/Oracle 11gR2.
We have a few VSAM files with record layouts that start with a record-type field, and based on that, the remainder of the record layout varies based on COBOL copybooks using REDEFINES. We can't be the first to have this issue, and am wondering if there's a best-practice solution. Our initial thought is that each record type should become a separate database table, but if we need to do this manually, we'll also need to modify the post-converted code manually. I'm hoping there's a better way.
Thanks.

You are correct; you are not the first person to do this. There are a number of different strategies depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. First, is your objective to leave the COBOL/CICS/VSAM as is? If so, which COBOL compiler do you intend to use? Are you using Tuxedo ART Workbench? Are you aware that you have the option of leaving the VSAM datasets as VSAM on the target platform? If you want to convert VSAM to Oracle DB tables, you can create a separate table for each record type as you suggested or you can treat the entire record as a blob and let the copyfile sort it out once the data is returned to the program. Of course with this approach you will not realize the benefits Oracle DB as an RDBMS. Please provide me some additional context and I will make some best practices suggestions.
You can get some insight on Tuxedo ART Workbench at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18050_01/artwb/docs11gr1/wbuser/FileToOracle.html

Need to generate multiple error files with rule file names during parallel data load

Hi,
Is there a way that MAXL could generate multiple error files during parallel data load?
import database AsoSamp.Sample data
connect as TBC identified by 'password'
using multiple rules_file 'rule1' , 'rule2'
to load_buffer_block starting with buffer_id 100
on error write to "error.txt";
I want to get error files as this - rule1.err, rule2.err (Error files with rule file name included). Is this possible in MAXL?
I even faced a situation , If i hard code the error file name like above, its giving me error file names as error1.err and error2.err. Is there any solution for this?
Thanks,
DS

Are you saying that if you specify the error file as "error.txt" Essbase actually produces multiple error files and appends a number?
Tim.
Yes its appending the way i said.
Out of interest, though - why do you want to do this? The load rules must be set up to select different 'chunks' of input data; is it impossible to tell which rule an error record came from if they are all in the same file?
I have like 6 - 7 rule files using which the data will be pulled from SQL and loaded into Essbase. I dont say its impossible to track the error record.
Regardless, the only way I can think of to have total control of the error file name is to use the 'manual' parallel load approach. Set up a script to call multiple instances of MaxL, each performing a single load to a different buffer. Then commit them all together. This gives you most of the parallel load benefit, albeit with more complex scripting.
Even i had the same thought of calling multiple instances of a Maxl using a shell script. Could you please elaborate on this process? What sort of complexity is involved in this approach.? Did anyone tried it before?
Thanks,
DS

How do I import binary data files (with header info) into DIAdem?

We have lots of data acquired by nCode datagate. Files are binary data with header info. How do I import this into DIAdem? Typical (short) file attached. Also of interest, can I stream data from Sony PC208/SIR1000 recorders?
Attachments:
Propshft.dac ‏4 KB

I have successfully imported your file into DIAdem using the nCode file filter included with DIAdem. You might have to make that file filter known to DIAdem by following these steps (this assumes you have version 8 of DIAdem):
1. Go to the 'Window' menu in DIAdem and select 'Close all'
2. Go to the 'Settings' menu and select 'GPI-DLL Registration'
3. Click the 'Add' button in the window and select the 'GfSnCode' DLL in the 'DIAdem/AddInfo' directory
4. The program will prompt you to restart.
5. After you have restarted DIAdem, go to the DATA icon, select 'File - Open' from the DATA menu and in the dialog that appears, choose 'nSoft Data File Format' in the 'Files of type:' field.
6. Select your data file and load
That's it.
With regards to your Sony reco
rder data, I would need to get my hands on an actual data file to try it out. In general, DIAdem can import ANY binary file format by creating a header in the 'File - Import via header' section in DATA. If you have lots of data files from the SONY recorder, a DLL can be created for that specific file format with the free DLL toolkit included with DIAdem.
Leave me a message here if you have any additional questions.

Load data from a file with multiple record types to a single table-sqlldr

We are using two datastores which refer to the same file. The file has 2 types of records header and detail.
h011234tyre
d01rey5679jkj5679
h011235tyrr
d01rel5678jul5688

Can someone help in loading these lines from one file with only two data stores(not 2 separate files) using File to Oracle(SQLLDR) Knowledge Module.

Hi,
Unfortunately the IKM SQLDR doesn't have the "when" condition to be wrote at ctl file.
If you wish a simple solution, just add an option (drop me a email if you want a LKM with this)
The point is:
With a single option, you will control the when ctl clause and, for instance, can define:
1) create 2 datastores (1 for each file)
2) the first position will be a column at each datastore
3) write the when condition to this first column at the LKM in the interface.
Does it help you?

Loading Hex Files with multiple records with each line starting with : record marker, how do I load this hex file into a front panel table ? thanks in advance, Jeff.

I have written a routine that loads a Hex file, checks for record marker,length,address etc then loads the data into a table on front panel. However, my routine only loads single record hex files. I need to be able to load multiple record files, I need to identify the ':' colon record marker start for each record in the hex file, I just can't see how to loop my routine so that all records with ':' prefix marker are loaded.

Jeff,
I'm not exactly sure of what you are trying to do. Is it possible you could post your code, or a screen shot of the diagram in question, so that I can get a better understanding, and possibly offer some assistance?
I am familiar with hex files, but not with the : marker separating records. This may be able to be solved with simple text parsing, and as I am not familiar with how you are retrieving and/or displaying the files, I require more information.
Thanks

How to handle text files with Header lines

Hi,
Eventhough the number of header lines is specified, when I do Reverse to get columns, its considering only header line.
I have file format like
ffserver started.

first line is header line and there are spaces within a field value, and the field separator also is space.

in this scenario of urs ,ur file has multiple delimiters like -- and spaces.
in this case u need to convert the file in a file with single delimiter .
this can be done by writing a code in java in ODI procedures.
once you have the same delimiter all over the file.
u can extract multiple headers using typical Procedure

File Adapter creates file with old record.

Hi,
I am working on Oracle Soa suite and trying to find out the the ways to Write file with the help of File Adaptor. But I find a problem with the file Adaptor that whenever I try to write updated rows to the file, it provides the earlier values in the rows and the new values are not written to the file.

Hi Anton,
As Sudhir mentioned, there could be a problem of correct data. The best solution is :
Inside your RFC code just validate the code for empty values. e.g
IF NOT ITAB_RFC[] IS INITIAL.
**ITAB_RFC internal table data.
ENDIF.
and after validating this, if still you are getting some file with "0" length, then check File Content Conv in your CC.
