How can I include loops in positional flat files?

Hi,
I got a simple record structure flat file working in B2B, but my data file is more complex and I want to know how I can define the ecs file for the same.
My data has orders, lines underneath and finally a trailer with the total number of lines in the file. So when this goes to my target system, I would like to create order and lines underneath so I am expecting my schema as a result of the ecs to represent that loop structure.
In the document editor, when I right click on the message I see Insert Child Node --> Record, but under the record I see both Insert Node and Insert Child Node again, and I am lost as I don't find any document on what these options mean.
Can someone please throw some light on this?
Thanks
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
You may find Min Use and Max Use record properties at right side when you click on a record. Set min use as 0 (or 1 if it is not optional) and max use to 999999 or any other high value and you are good to go.
Inside record, you can insert Fields which will eventually hold the line data.

Anuj

  • How can i duplicate records from a flat file to a cube

    Hi all,
    i got the next problem, i m loading a flat file, fur example:
    Material KF1 KF2
    A 10 12
    B 25 30
    01 02
    I Need duplicate the records for material A and B but with the values of Not assign, in other words the result in the cube would be like this:
    Material KF1 KF2
    A 10 12
    B 25 30
    01 02
    A 01 02
    B 01 02
    How can i do this, i know this must be a rutine, but where in the star? final? expert rutine? and how would be the code to do it, help guys and thanks!

    you can use end routine to accomplish that...
    hope the below code helps...
    DATA : IT_RESULT_PACKAGE LIKE TABLE OF RESULT_PACKAGE.
    DATA : WA_RESULT_PACKAGE LIKE RESULT_PACKAGE.
    SORT RESULT_PACKAGE BY MATERIAL.
    IT_RESULT_PACKAGE[] = RESULT_PACKAGE[].
    LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <RESULT_FIELDS>.
    READ TABLE RESULT_PACKAGE INTO WA_RESULT_PACKAGE WITH KEY MATERIAL IS INITIAL BINARY SEARCH.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    WA_RESULT_PACKAGE-MATERIAL = <RESULT_FIELDS>-MATERIAL.
    APPEND WA_RESULT_PACKAGE INTO IT_RESULT_PACKAGE.
    CLEAR WA_RESULT_PACKAGE.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    CLEAR RESULT_PACKAGE[].
    RESULT_PACKAGE[] = IT_RESULT_PACKAGE[].
    this code will be suitable only if the material as unique entry with initial value...
    else you would require to use a loop statement instead of the read statement which has been used...

  • How can I change from JDBC to flat files

    I have an application setup that runs on MySQL using JDBC. But, I'm having problem with the database(ConnectorJ to be exact). I just want check the functionality of this application. Can I use a flat file as opposed to the DB? How can I possibly do this?

    The text driver supports a very simple SQL. Inserts, deletes are allowed. Not sure about updates. Joins on tables are not.
    Of course it will still require a connection string.

  • How can I include results of a subsequenc​e, which runs in a new thread, in the main sequence test report

    Hi!
    I', m working with TestStand Version 4.2.1. I have a main sequence, which calkls different subsequences. All these steps are properly reported. One of subsequences runs as "new thread". How can I include its results in common test report of the main sequence?
    I have markes variables of the subsequence as it is requred for test report (it works OK if it is not a new thread). If the the numerical test, which is executed in this subsequence is correct, I get no results at all. If the numeric test failed I get somewhere in the main sequence report a "red message", that test failed whithout any reference to the step or values of vaiables which were not correct.
    I tried an option "On the fly" in the Report Configuration , but haven' got any useful results. What shall I do?
    Best regards
    Solved!

    Hi,
    I tried it but without success:
    1) I got a reference to the Thread as "Locals.Step1=RunState.Thread" for every of 2 steps which start a thread
    2) I put both "Waits" after steps with (and without) threads, at the same place, where they were before
    3) The sequence run OK, but when it came to Wait for Thread 1 it waited for ever, I had to terminate sequence
    Does it mean, that I got a false reference (suppose No - please, have a look at attached pic)?
    Or does it mean, that Waits are badly placed in the sequence (threads are already terminated)? Here is a pic of sequeces calls with Wait after them.

    How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

    I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.

  • How can I include merged projects in the printed documentation?

    I have a master project with several merged projects. This works splendid with online documentation, but when I am asked to provide a printed version, it seems I have to create separate documents for each merged project.
    Is there any setting or fix that enables print also of merged projects and topics when I create printed documentation?
    Pretty please with sugar on top :-)

    Hm - there is a contract with the customer, saying that he wants documentation both as word and pdf, and as we now aim at only writing online documentation, these tasks create extra work, as we are delivering updates each month
    But yes - two beasts, where only chm is actually needed we think.

    Hi there
    I'm a bit curious as to the reasoning behind your "persuation process for using chm-files only".
    CHM files and printed documentation are two entirely different beasts.

  • How can I include a portal component look and feel in a java servlet

    Does any body know how can i include a portal component look and feel (tables, buttons, etc) in a java servlet?

    Hi José,
    I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel. The tables and other controls used in EP are totally different and are done through complex JavaScript coding instead of simple HTML tags. If you want exact lok and feel then i thin you must go for a Webdynpro based application rather then a J2EE application with JSPs.
