How to display output of SQL Loader in a readable format

Hi All,
We have an inbound interface wherein we are uploading data from a flat file to Oracle Applications.
The entire process is happening in a request set -
1. Loading from flat file to staging tables via SQL Loader
2. Validating Data in staging tables
3. Uploading in Oracle standard tables
User says that the log file which shows the output of SQL Loader (step 1) is not readable and they want the data in some particular format which is understandable/readable for them.
Firstly, help me understand is it possible.
Also I have heard about BAD file, can anyone tell me where is it created and by what name and can we fetch that file created ?
Any pointers would be really helpful.
Regards,
Shruti

Hi
DATA :
w_i TYPE i VALUE 1,
w_temp TYPE i VALUE 1..
WHILE w_temp LE 10.
w_i = 1.
WHILE w_i LE w_temp.
    WRITE :
      w_i.
    ADD 1 TO w_i.
ENDWHILE.
SKIP.
ADD 1 TO w_temp.
ENDWHILE.

How Can I Run a SQL Loader Job from Schedular

How Can I Run a SQL Loader Job from Schedular , So that It Runs every Day.

Depends on a couple of factors.
If you are on a UNIX platform, you can create a shell script and schedule it with cron.
If you are on a Windows platform, you can create a batch file and schedule it with the Windows scheduler.
Or, if you are on Oracle 9i or 10g, you could use the external table feature instead of SQL*Loader. Then you could write a stored procedure to process the external table and schedule it using the Oracle scheduler (DBMS_JOB). This would probably be my preference.

How to use SQL loader with DBF fixed format record

Hi everybody!
My situation is that: I want to use SQL loader with Foxpro DBF format, it similar to case 2 study (Fixed format record) but DBF file has header, how can I tell SQL loader skip header.
Thank you in advance

Another option is to apply SQL operators to fields
LOAD DATA
   INFILE *
   APPEND
INTO TABLE emp

I create a sql*loader concurrent program to load the data. the data can be loaded into the table successfully(The chinese customer name is correct). Only for the aborted lines, it will be listed in the outtput of the concurrent request, but out of my expect, the chinese characters in the output are displayed as '?'.
How to solve the issue? Thanks.

You can find that any chinese characters are became '?'. The loaded line(Line 4th) is not listed in the output.

SPOOL - how to display output list of more then 255 characters?

Hi,
First of all, I would like to say hi to all of you here, as a new member :)!
I've just discovered this forum - I'm very new and let's say unexperienced in SAP, unlike you :)!
Didn't know where to put my subject (in what folder) so I apologize in advance if I'm mistaken... I work as an ABAP programmer in SAP Core and SAP IS-T and currently I'm worried about this problem:(!
We have these huge reports in IS-T that have to be run in background, because of lot of data. Most of reports are very wide and don't fit in those 255 characters that is SAP standard for spool display. Now I'm dealing with this RFC that has to provide spool display with 800 characters, and this has to be on production by tomorrow:)!!!!!
First I created new format type (ZX_65_800) in transaction SPAD and assigned it to my local printer. I thought this would be enough, but I was wrong. Because when I try to run my programe in background, the system doesn't offer me my format at all :(!
Is there anything else I must do in order to get it.... (I work in Release 620)
If anyone had the same problem, please contact me!
Thanks,
BR,
Sanja

Hi All,
We have been looking for a solution for what I believe is the same problem, for more than 2 years now. I would just like to verify with you, if your requirement are similar to ours.
Problem:
1.     Requirement is to run large HR reports either standard or with Ad Hoc Query in background mode in a company with more than 50,000 employees.
2.     Nobody wants printed reports these days. We want to save the forests. Customers prefer to be emailed an Excel file so they can do further data analysis, filtering, pivot tables etc.
3.     Reports are running OK in foreground for smaller sections of the organisation, where you send the output to Excel from ALV, or save as a local file in spreadsheet format.
4.     But large reports for entire company are awkward, tie up your PCs resources, and complex reports accessing many tables can timeout before completion.
5.     So scheduling these reports to run in background would be the ideal solution.
6.     However when we access the report output from SP02, we find that most reports (say with more than 13 or so fields) have an output wider than 255 characters and the output of the spool file wraps to the next line in Excel. It is very tricky to then parse the data back into one row for each employee. And you have a problem if you output is for 50,000 or so employees, because then you file is 100,000 rows and will not load completely into Excel limit problem of 65,536 characters.
7.     We simply want a spool file that does not wrap the data to the next line after 255 characters.
8.     But how to explain this simple requirement to some technical people. It seems a lot of posts on SDN think we always want to print a spool file. NO remember the forests!
Possible Solutions:
I see a lot of posts here that refer to OSS note 186603, but they dont mention the target for the output of the spool is to import into an Excel File (i.e. spreadsheet format). Just search for 186603 or Spool request with more than 255 columns. There is also a reference to OSS note 313566. I am not sure if these will work?
I have also seen the suggestions that you need to define a customer printer format that does not wrap the output after 255 characters (create a new format type in transaction SPAD).
Did you find a solution yet to this problem, do the solutions above work, or can anyone else help us!

How can we tell if SQL*Loader is working on a TABLE?

We have a process that requires comparing batches with LDAP information. Instead of using an LDAP lookup tool, we get a nightly directory file, and import the two COLUMNs we want via SQL*Loader (REPLACE) into an IOT. Out of three cases, two just check the first COLUMN, and the third needs the second COLUMN as well.
We did not think of using External TABLEs, because we cannot store files on the DB server itself.
The question arises, what to do while the file is being imported. The file is just under 300M, so it takes a minute or so to replace all the data. We found SQL*Loader waits until a transaction is finished before starting, but a query against the TABLE only waits while it is actually importing the data. At the beginning of SQL*Loader's process, however, a query against the TABLE returns no rows.
The solution we are trying right now is, to have the process that starts SQL*Loader flip a flag in another TABLE denoting that it is unavailable. When it is done, it flips it back, and notes the date. Then, the process that queries the information, exits if the flag is currently 'N'.
The problem, is, what if SQL*Loader starts inbetween the check of the flag, and the query against the TABLE. How do we guarantee that it is still not being imported.
I can think of three solutions:
1) LOCK the ldap information TABLE before checking the flag.
2) LOCK the record that the process starting SQL*Loader flips.
3) Add a clause to the query against the TABLE checks that there are records in the TABLE (AND EXISTS(SELECT * FROM ldap_information).
The problem with 3) is that the process has already tagged the batches (via a COLUMN). It could, technically reset them afterwards, but that seems a bit backwards.

Just out of curiosity, are you aware that Oracle supplies a DBMS_LDAP package for pulling information from LDAP sources? It would obviously be relatively easy to have a single transaction that deletes the existing data, loads the new data via DBMS_LDAP, and commits, which would get around the problem you're having with SQL*Loader truncating the table.
You could also have SQL*Loader load the data into a staging table and then have a second process either MERGE the changes from the staging table into the real table (again in a transactionally consistent manner) or just delete and insert the data.

How to do it with SQL Loader

All,
I have two tables HEADER_TABLE and LINE_TABLE. Each header record can have multiple line records. I have to load data from a flat file to these tables.Flat file can have two types of records. H-Header, L-Line. It looks as follows.. Each H record can have multiple corresponding L records
H..........
L.......
L......
L......
H.........
L.......
L......
L......
I have HEADER_ID column in HEADER_TABLE and HEADER_ID, LINE_ID columns in the LINE_TABLE.
While loading data using SQL Loader, I need to generate HEADER_ID and LINE_ID values as follows and load them.
H..........<HEADER_ID = 1>
L....... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 1>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 2>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 3>
H......... <HEADER_ID = 2>
L....... <HEADER_ID = 2><LINE_ID = 4>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 2><LINE_ID = 5>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 2><LINE_ID = 6>
Is it possible to do this with SQL LODER?
I tried to do this with sequences. But it loaded the tables as follows.
H..........<HEADER_ID = 1>
L....... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 1>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 2>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 3>
H......... <HEADER_ID = 2>
L....... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 4>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 5>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 6>
Thanks
Ketha

Morgan,
Examples given in the link are quite generic and I have tried them. But my requirement is focused on generating header_id and line_id values as i have described. It seems that SQLLDR scans all records for a particular WHEN clause and insert them into the specified table. I think that if SQLLDR is made to read recod in the data file sequentially, this can be done.
ANy idea of how to make SQLLDR read the records from the file sequentially?
Thanks

How to display output parameters in storedprocedures in front end?

hi all ,thank you for all the support.
Now i want your help .Here below i have given the general format of stored procedure we are using in our application . In procedure we are catching the exception and assigning to an output variable P_STATUS .
If any exception occurs ,How we display this caught exception from front end that means how we display the exception in front end .We are using VB.NET and VS 2005 and Oracle 9i for development.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SELECTINTERVALS
P_MINVAL INTEGER,
P_MAXVAL INTEGER,
P_INTERVAL     INTEGER,
P_USERID VARCHAR2,
P_STATUS OUT VARCHAR2
AS
BEGIN
          SELECT STATEMENT or INSERT STATEMENT
EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS THEN
          ROLLBACK;
          P_STATUS:=SQLERRM;
END;
If anybody knows, please help me
thanks & regards

Both methods are wrong. Returning error/exit codes for the reasons I've stated above.
As for handling the exception... If you want to propagate the exception, then DO NOT CHANGE IT INTO A MEANINGLESS USER EXCEPTION!
This is useless:
WHEN OTHERS THEN
ROLLBACK;
P_STATUS:=SQLERRM;
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20011, SQLERRM);
Why it is meaningless? Because the caller now has to parse the error message to determine just what the actual root exception was... as the root exception number has been replaced with a meaningless number.
This is meaningful and (almost) correct:
[pre]
when OTHERS then
rollback;
raise; -- re-raise the exception
PS. It makes better sense to trap the actual exception like no data found, duplicate PK violations, etc... it seldom makes sense to trap all other exceptions and then do something like a rollback.

How to Import data via SQL Loader with characterset UTF16 little endian?

Hello,
I'm importing data from text file into one of my table which contains blob column.
I've specified following in my control file.
-----Control file-------
LOAD DATA

BYTEORDER LITTLE
INFILE './DataFiles/Data.txt'
BADFILE './Logs/Data.bad'
INTO TABLE temp_blob truncate
FIELDS TERMINATED BY " "
TRAILING NULLCOLS

Problem:
SQL Loader always importing data via big endian. Is there any method available using which we can convert these data to little endian?
Thanks

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

How can I invoke a sql loader from oracle form?

I'm got a problem on invoking sql loader command from oracle form where the sql loader product has been installed in Window NT.
Thanks for your help!

U can use HOST procedure with NO_SCREEN option.
this will go like
Host('d:\orant\bin\SQLLDR80 USERID=username/password@connect CONTROL=contril_file.CTL LOG=log_file.LOG discard=discard_file.dis bad=bad_file.bad', NO_SCREEN);
Hope this will Work

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(
