How to change destination of flat file?

Hi,
I'm using OWB 10g R2. I need to change the destination of my flat file output.
This is what I did:
1) Unregistered location from the control center
2) Changed the path
3) Re-registered the location in the control center.
This didn't seem to work. Still all my files are going to the old destination. Does anyone have any ideas to get them to go to the new destination?
Thank you.

You will have to re-deploy the location.
The location in the database points to a directory. This is done through a connector.
This has to be altered.
There are two ways of achieving this:
1) Drop the location (connector) and recreate pointing to the new file-location
2) ask the DBA to change the directory (will not be reflected in OWB though)
You can see the location by issuing the following query
select * from all_directories
One will have your location name (or part of the name is the location name)

  • How to change the default "Safe" files in Safari?

    I would really appreciate if anybody could teach me how to change the default "Safe" files using AppleScripts, Folder Actions or .plist files. I really would like to have some files to open automatically after download, specially .pps files, and safari doesn't recognize such files as "safe". I tried to find out reading the help files but got lost.

  • How to convert IDOC to flat file in XI

    Hello SDNers
    I have a scenario IDOC --> XI  --> Flat file. My question is how to conver IDOC to flat file. At least there are two ways to do that:
    1) Define a flat structure in PI that reflects the IDOC structure, then using content conversion to convert the flat structure to flat file in hte receiver communication channel.
    2) There is a [document |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/46759682-0401-0010-1791-bd1972bc0b8a] talking about using a generic ABAP mapping to map any IDOC to flat file.
    For the option 1, I don't want that way, because I would need to define a flat structure in PI for each IDOC which is too much effort. (I would have dozens of IDOC scenarios)
    The second one is very attractive. However the document is not complete to follow. Basically it does not explain how the inbound flat structure looks like. I guess the generic ABAP mapping is used to map any IDOC_XML structure to a flat structure, then in the file receiver communication channel to convert the flat structure to flat file format. But the document does not mention how the flat structure looks like. Has somebody tried this scenario? If yes, can you please let me know the steps to do in ESR (IR) and ID? Basically what structure the IDOC_XML should be mapped to using the generic ABAP mapping class?
    Or somebody has other ideas on how to convert IDOC to flat file?
    Thank you so much
    Eric

    > 1) You are saying that for Java mapping and abap mapping, the target data type (messag type) is just a dummy one, the real (XML) message the receiver will recieve is the one (stream) produced by the java or abap mapping. Is that correct?
    Definitely yes!
    >
    > 2) For the abap mapping option, I would define a dummy target data type. Do I need to do any content conversion in the receiver adapter (communication channel)?
    None wat so ever.The output of your Java Mapping will be the Native Idoc Format.
    >
    > 3) I tried with a dummy target data type as mentioned in my second post, can you see any clue in the error message what is wrong?
    Dats one thing I cant help much. Just make sure that the ABAP report is valid and take the help of a ABAP'er to debug what is going wrong. Not much of a ABAP guy, can read ABAP code, but cant write one myself
    Try to test the program standalone to see how it works. Maybe take some Idoc XML file as input and then dump the output to a .txt file and so on.
    Regards
    Bhavesh
    PS : All this is from what I have read of this guide. I have not convert Idoc XML to Native Idoc but have used this guide to convert Native Idoc to Idoc XML .

  • How To Convert IDOC to FLAT File ?

    Dear Expert,
            My requirement is to convert the IDOC to FLAT File using XI. How can i do this. I have gone thru the Guide How to convert IDOC to Flat file using ABAP mapping but it does not talk about what are all the stpes i need to do in IR & ID.
    I am ready to use ABAP mapping since i am an ABAPER.
             Is it recommended to use ABAP mapping since we expect daily 500 IDOCs to be converted to a flat file & transfer this flat file to some FTP location.
             Can anybody tell me the stpes how to do this in XI. The steps i am expecting like how to define the Data Type / Message type / Mapping etc & how to configure the channel ?
             The Flat file i want to convert should look like the way IDOC file gets created in FILE FTP port in SAP.
    Regards,
    Umesh

    I think there is some confusion... Let me explian my problem once again.
    I want to convert the Shipment IDOC as it is the moment the shipment documents gets created in R/3. I dont want to collect many IDOCs & make as single file. For each IDOC it should create a Flat File.
    Secondly if i have to MAP the whole IDOC the graphical mapping is too difficult.
    So instead of that can i use ABAP/XSLT/JAVA whichever is easy. ?
    Since i am ABAPER i can use ABAP mapping.
    The Output file should look like as below.

  • How to load a long flat file field into BW

    Hi all,
    I have a field from flat file with 256 characters to be loaded into BW. As we all know the max length an info object can take is only 60. How can I split the flat file field so that I can load that data into BW and how can I then concatenate them in the BEx.
    Can anyone suggest a way?
    Thanks in advance.
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay,
    we already had this discussion in this forum. In short:
    1. create a number range object
    2. create a table with a number field a key and a text field
    3. while loading the data check your text against the table. If the text already exist, get the number out of the table. If the text doesn't exist, get a new number out of your number range object and post this number + the text into your table.
    4. in your loaded data always work with the number you assigned to the text
    5. create a infoobject for the number-field
    6. create a variable that takes it's value out of the table.
    regards
    Siggi

  • Is there a way to change fixed width Flat file connection manager to delimited without losing all the column names ?

    Is there a way to change fixed width Flat file connection manager to delimited without losing all the column names ?

    Unfortunately not as it is a quite dramatic change causing the metadata being refreshed. I would try to open though the package file in a text editor and find them before doing the change, then after you made the change to the FF connector try to reconstitute
    / replace the autimatically generated columns with the old names.

  • How to change destination table dynamically in configuration file in ssis?

    hello,
            i have a package i am having one data flow task.in data flow task i have one source and one destination.source and destination are different.i have created xml configuration file by configuring source and destination connection
    strings.
    now i want to change destination in the same server to different database with out opening the package.i want to directly change in the config file.we can change it by modifying configured value proerty and intial catalogue value.but if the table is not
    existed in the changed database.how we can create it dynamically.

    HI jiri Neoral,
                       thanks for reply,as you said above process by this we can do change only databasename.if in my destination database,the table which i used in package is not existed,can we create it dynamically
    using config file.later changing table name is possible?
    For that you need to have a step in SSIS package prior to data flow task to check if table exists and if not create it
    You can use  execute sql task with query like below
    IF OBJECT_ID('TableName') IS NULL
    CREATE TABLE TableName

  • How to create Fixed Length Flat File from Open Hub in BI 7.0

    My requirement is to produce a Fixed length Flat file by Open Hub destination. My Open Hub has four fields. Now the requirement is to create another extra field in Open Hub which will contain all of the four fields value. In addition to that the fields should be fixed length that means if for any field no value is there and the field length/type is CHAR4 then 4 spaces should be there as the field value. SO, basically the Open Hub output will be single field which will contain information of four fields.
    How to get this using End Routine of Transformation (from DSO to Open Hub) ?

    Hi,
    You can map the four input fields to the new field in the Open Hub, and change rule type to "Routine".
    For example, if your source fields are called "first", "second", "third" and "forth", the ABAP routine could be similar to:
    DATA: l_t_1  TYPE C LENGTH 4,
          l_t_2  TYPE C LENGTH 4,
          l_t_3  TYPE C LENGTH 4,
          l_t_4  TYPE C LENGTH 4.
    IF source_fields-first IS INITIAL.
      l_t_1 = '    '.
    else.
      MOVE source_fields-first TO l_t_1.
    endif.
    IF source_fields-second IS INITIAL.
      l_t_2 = '    '.
    else.
      MOVE source_fields-second TO l_t_2.
    endif.
    IF source_fields-third IS INITIAL.
      l_t_3 = '    '.
    else.
      MOVE source_fields-third TO l_t_3.
    endif.
    IF source_fields-forth IS INITIAL.
      l_t_4 = '    '.
    else.
      MOVE source_fields-forth TO l_t_4.
    endif.
    CONCATENATE l_t_1 l_t_2 l_t_3 l_t_4 into result.
    In the example, the program uses four blank spaces if any of the fields has no value. 
    Additionally, if non-initial values in input fields could be shorter than 4 characters (if the input fields have no fixed length), you could use STRLEN to evaluate if it is necessary to add blank spaces to complete the fixed length of 4.
    I hope this helps you.

  • Mapping with both source and destination as flat files???

    hi I have two two flat files(large data) for example A and B.
    let us say
    A has records of format( characteres of size(5) , numbers of size(6) , characteres of size(5) )
    B has records of format( characteres of size(5) , numbers of size(6) )
    i have to map these flat files so that rocords with numbers in both files should be added where the records of characters in both files are same) and output a flat file C .
    i.e
    A(aaaaa111111bbbbb222222ccccc111111
    bbbbb111111fffff666666ddddd333333)
    B (aaaaa222222)
    output should be(aaaaa333333)
    i have created the flat file module and could able to sample A and B .
    I have also created an external table based on A and B.but the data is not been showed ih the external table.How to map this.
    Pls guide me.
    srry for being long here.
    Thanks 4 ur time.

    Sounds like your datatypes/settings are incorrect.
    To process a file (let's call it stuff.txt) with fixed length records such as the following...
    aaaaa111111bbbbb222222ccccc111111bbbbb111111fffff666666ddddd
    Here is an example tcl script. There are some variables you have to setup for the flat file module, the oracle module, the File location and project name all of which should exist before running. It will create the flat file, external table, a simple mapping from external table to flat file defined by tcl variable target_file (in same directory as the LOC_SRC_FILES, you can change this..its just for demo purposes and will write a comma separated file). Hopefully this will get you up and going with your problem...

  • How to remove CR from flat file in Windows

    One of the columns in my table is varchar2(2000) and contains multi-line data.
    New lines are identified by the linefeed terminator (chr(10)) in the table.
    I am writing all records from this table to a flat file. My machine is running Win XP.
    I am using UTL_FILE.PUT procedure to write to the file.
    Problem is, for multi-line data each line gets appended with a <CR> in addition to the linefeed.
    So each line in the file ends with <CR><LF> as opposed to only <LF> in the table.
    So my question is, how do I get rid of this extra <CR> or chr(13) in the file ?
    Is there anything I can set in the UTL_FILE package or alternatively is there any
    DOS utility which can strip the file of the chr(13) ?
    I understand this is Oracle default behaviour while writing to file on Win platform, i.e.
    using a <CR><LF> as a line terminator. How can I change this behaviour.
    Please help, very urgent !!
    Regards,
    Azhar.

    Hi Kishore,
    Thanx for the response.
    What am trying to do is dump the table in a flat file.
    Then create an External table (exactly same as original table) pointing to the flat file.
    Due to occurence of the extra <CR> column length increases. For eg. multi-line column data of varchar2(2000) in original table having say 43 lines becomes 2042 characters now. As a result I will have to make external table with column length varchar2(2042) to read the column !! that's the problem.
    I want external table definition to be exactly the same as original table.
    This is part of a generic utility which am developing.
    The only option I have right now is to use unix2dos utility and strip the <CR> characters, but I am looking for something which can eliminate <CR> at file creation itself.

Maybe you are looking for
