HI FRIENDS, significance of record set name in flat file process

1)significance of record set name in flat file process

hi ganga,
recordset specifies the logical structures in a flat file. A recordset can contain multiple types of substructures identified by logical names.
We can use the recordset in Node functions

Does IXOS record the name of the file uploaded in a R3 table?

Does IXOS record the name of the file uploaded in a R3 table?

Hi Christiana,
When you perform a file upload to IXOS, the filename is not being record. The archivelink table (toa*) will keep track the document type of the file only.
Hope this help.

How to Extract records to Desktop in flat file.
I am not able to do it from Syndicator,i tried many options.Some one can help.
- Master data in MDM rep can be syndicated using MDM syndicator using 2 main formats Flat and XML.
- For local syndication to your desktop in flat format you need to follow the bewlo steps:
1) Create destination items manually in Syndicator under destination item tab.
2) Map this destination item to the source fields whcih are your mdm rep fields.
3) Use a serach critera if you wnat to filter records.
4) Click the export button in the syndicator
5) It will ask for the output file name and format
6) Give a name and select teh format form dropdown in the window (it can be text,excel.access any thing)
7) You output file is syndiacted to your local desktop.
Follow the below link for Flat syndication:

Hi Guys,
I am working on Idoc to file scenario and generating a file at the target.
at the file...for each line i have to add a line count.

Hi Sahil,
You can write UDF as follow
AbstractTrace trace= (AbstractTrace)container.getTrace();
GlobalContainer globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
String str = (String) globalContainer.getParameter ("COUNTER");
if(str!=null){
     int tempRowCounter =(new Integer (str)).intValue();
     globalContainer.setParameter("COUNTER",tempRowCounter++);
    return tempRowCounter+"";
}else{
     globalContainer.setParameter("COUNTER", "1");
     return "1";

Changing the file name n Flat file Extraction

Hi,
Currently i am using flat file extraction for my forecast data and i am sending the file through application server.
I have created directory successfully and now everyday morning i receive a file thru FTP server with name 20060903.csv and this name is based on one field in my flat file data. ex. /interface/asf/20060903.csv
During mid off month we have cut off date, and this cut off date varies for each month. During this time file name changes in the FTP and a file with different name i.e 20061002.csv will be existing in the application server.
Now in the infopackage i also need to set the deletion settings like if the file name is same delete the previous requests. I could achieve this if i could get the file name changed.
Lets say if i am not chnaging the file name how do i set deletion condition, like it should not delete if the field(scenario) changes. ie from 20061002 to 20061101. I should have only one file for 20061002 and one file for 20061101 etc... If the scenario is same it should delete.
Any one kindly advise. Very urgent and critical.
Tks & regards,
Bhuvana.

Hi Bhunva,

How to find out duplicate record contained in a flat file

Hi Experts,
For my project I have written a program for flat file upload.
Requirement 1
In the flat file there may be some duplicate record like:
Field1   Field2
11        test1
11        test2
12        test3
13        test4
Field1 is primary key.
Can you please let me know how I can find out the duplicate record.
Requirement 2
The flat file contains the header row as shown above
Field1   Field2
How our program can skip this record and start reading / inserting records from row no 2 ie
11        test1
onwards.
Thanks

Can you please let me know how I can find out the duplicate record.
you need to split the records from flat file structure into your internal table ans use a delete ADJACENT duplicates comparing fields
split flat_str into wa_f1 wa_f2 wa_f2 at tab_space.

Dynamic Column Names in Flat File Destination

Hello,
Inside a Data Flow Task, I have an ADO.Net data source which executes a stored procedure that provides results in 5 columns.
The requirement is to have it connect to a flat file destination, such that the column names is dependent on what data was pulled by the data source. There is a variable indicator which identifies the data that was pulled. For example:
If the indicator is 0, then the columns names will be A,B,C,D,E. Otherwise, if the indicator is 1, then column names will be V,W,X,Y,Z.
Any suggestions will be of great help.
AJ

If you only have two variations then use a branched execution (based on precedence constraints) and direct it to one DFT or another based on the result returned by the stored procedure.
Otherwise use .net
code to create one package or another dynamically.
PS: I suggest not to bother using SSIS for such a simplistic scenario.

Issue with characterset setting in OWB flat file target

an OWB mapping reads from the database source and writes to flat file target in unix os but junk characters are displayed for non english characters in the target file . The database table contains french,spanish,german,arabic characters.The nls db parameter setting is AL32UTF8. The same setting has been applied to OWB target also but still junk values are appearing for non english characterset.different charactersets like al32utf8,utf8,utf18,us7ascii have been tried at owb target setting but nothing is wroking out to remove junk characters. Please suggest

Changing the setting name in the file name

How do I change en masse the file name in a compressor batch?. Say, instead of having the default codec name, IE "Apple Pro Res," I could choose something unique for myself.
Or how do I just get rid of it the setting tag without using a custom destination?
Studio X wrote:
"You can permanently solve the issue by making a simple change in the Preset.
Click on your preset to load it into the Inspector in Compressor
Click on the "actions" icon underneath the Names & Descriptions fields.
Go down to Default Destinations and set it to " Source w:o additional names"
Save the preset.
Now every time you apply the preset you'll get the file placed back into the source folder without the additional info in the file name.
One caveat - make sure that your new file name does not exactly match (including the suffix) the original file. If it does, you'll overwrite the original.
x"
However I did not find this "w:o additional names" option.
I am running Compressor V 3.5.3 - is that the reason?
Cheers,
Edwin

Could be a version thing.
In 3.5.3 it works like this:
You first need to create a new Destination:
In compressor select the Destination Tab (1), then press the PLUS sign (2).
Select Local (if it's going to be on your computer) or Remote (if it's on a network)
Compressor will ask you which folder. In this example I created a new folder, called 'testingfolder' (3).
In the Inspector then you can choose the naming options. Which is now right by default (4). So you don't have to alter that.
Now do all steps as Studio X described, but a slightly different:
"You can permanently solve the issue by making a simple change in the Preset.
Click on your preset to load it into the Inspector in Compressor
Click on the "actions" icon underneath the Names & Descriptions fields.
Go down to Default Destinations and set it to " Source w:o additional names"
...set it to 'testingfolder'
Save the preset.
Now every time you apply the preset you'll get the file placed back into the source folder without the additional info in the file name.
One caveat - make sure that your new file name does not exactly match (including the suffix) the original file. If it does, you'll overwrite the original.
[The latter is only true if the destination folder is the same as the source folder, which I'd strongly advise not to do.]

CR & LF characters at the end of records when using delimited flat file (CR is missing)

Hi All,
I have a requirement where data of SQL query needs to be loaded to a CSV file.
The row delimiter of the CSV file has to be CR-LF.
In the flat file connection manager, I have mentioned Header Row delimiter as "{CR}{LF}" and under columns section, row delimiter is specified as "{CR}{LF}".
But when I open the detsnation CSV file using notepad++, I see only "LF" at the end of all rows.
Can you please let me know how can I get both CR & LF at the end of each row
Below is the screen shot of the flat file connection manager which I have used for CSV destination file:
Raksha

Hi Raksha,
Just as Vaibhav said, I’m curious why you need use “CR & LF” as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manage. Since you can use "CR" as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manager and it worked fine, you can directly specify "CR"
as row delimiter in Flat File Connection Manage.
Besides, if you still want to replace “LF” with “CR & LF” in the text file, we can use Notepad++’s Find/Replace feature or Edit -> EOL Conversion to achieve the goal. Then we can specify "CR & LF" as row delimiter in Flat File
Connection Manage.
The following blog about conversion between “LF” and “CR & LF” row delimiter in Notepad++ is for your reference:

Trying to change the name of 1 file

I have searched the topic and have not found a solution that works for me,
I am trying to write an AppleScript that will change the name of a single file from path:old.txt to path:new.txt
I have tried
tell application "Finder"
set name of file "work.txt" to PartA & PartG & ticker & ".txt"
end tell
among others and always either receive an error message, access denied or unable to set old file name to new file name

You're missing the point.
set name of file "work.txt" to PartA & PartG & ticker & ".txt"
When you set the name of the file, the Finder needs two things - the original file that you're trying to rename, and the new name you want it to take.
In your revised script you're specifying the existing name (not path) of the file you want to change, and specifying its path along with the new name. That's the wrong way around.
Think of this command in the following manner:
set name of (original file specification) to (new file name)
Now, in the case of the 'original file specification' you need to provide enough information for the Finder to identify the file. You're just saying 'work.txt', but that is not enough (and that's why it's complaining). There could be a hundred 'work.txt' files spread around in different directories on your disk. How is the Finder supposed to know which one you want to change?
A better format would be:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "work.txt" of path to desktop) to "ABC.txt"
end tell
In this way the Finder can absolutely identify which file you want to change (the file 'work.txt' that's on your desktop) and the new name you want it to take.
Now, if the file is not on your desktop you can amend the script to include the relevant path, e.g.:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "work.txt" of folder "blah" of disk "disk name") to "ABC.txt"
end tell
This tells the Finder to look in the folder 'blah' on the specified disk.
You can also do this by including the path to the file in the form:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "disk name:blah:work.txt) to "ABC.txt"
end tell
where you use : to delimit each folder in the path.
Hope that helps.

Errors in flat file records? how can i handle them?

Hi All,
I am new for BDC. I am uploading customer(XD01) records using BDC caltransaction method.my problem is when i am running the program, some times my program is not updating the records because of my flat file errors. after i correcting the error records and if i run the same program already updated records not processing. my program not running. what i need to do? how can i handle the flat file for reprocessing the error records?
i have around 50,000 records in my flat file.

your program accepts a flat file say the structure of it is structure_load and you create another structure similar to structure_load and name it structure_error.
loop at itab_load.
call transactions...
if success..
commit work and wait X sec.
else.
move-corresponding field to structure_error
append structure_error.
endif.
endloop.
write the file stru_error to PC or app server and make the changes to the data and use the str_error as input to your code again..

Flat file name from Sender Side Dynamically into subject of Receiver Mail

Hi All,
         I am Using a file to Mail Scenario, My requirement is to get dynamically the file name from flat file of the Sender Side into Subject of Receiver Mail Adapter and attachment of file from the Sender Side. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance

Hi....
          You can write udf in the message mapping to get the Dynamic file name and map that to the subject of the receiver mail.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(
          StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey KEY_FILENAME = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
      // read value
      String Filename = conf.get(KEY_FILENAME);
