How to enforce security for flat files under a Webserver Directory?

Hello,
I have an Application where I need to show a Flat Excel File (with open/save option) from a URL from Portal.
This works fine.
But a user can view this file without login to Portal.
Though we restricted the directory, file access is uncontrolled.
What should we do?
Thanks
Madhav

According to something I read, protecting files through SSO should be available in release 2 of 9iAS (should be real soon now). It's done through an Apache module mod_sso.

I mean, how to enforce Login to Portal on flat files in the Web Server Directory(if the users are accessing directly from URL), they should be accessible as long as they logged into Oracle Portal. But right now, they can access by typing the URL for this flat file directly into browser.
Thanks for your time

SAP BO DI 3.2 How to import definition for flat files

Hi All,
I have several MS Access database with their respective tables , but Im needing now to import the tables structure/definitions of their tables as Flat Files definitions inside SAP BO DI 3.2 , is there an automatically way to do this without using the Flat File Editor?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
if you have the data in an Access database can you not just connect via ODBC to get the data? This would also allow you to get the column metadata easily.
If you are going to export the data from Access to flat files then do this first and then use the Flat File editor to create each file in turn, as long as you have access to the file then you can open it in the file editor and Designer will import the schema for you.

How to show hidden dot (".someFile") files under a specific directory

Hello!
I came across numerous ways to show hidden files and folders in Finder via a Google search, but I don't want to open the door to an accidental screwup with important files.
However, I do want to be able to view the hidden .htaccess files in Finder in order to learn to use Apache web server modules. Is it possible to tell Finder to show me the .htaccess files only in my /htdocs directory?
Thanks.

AFAIK the Finder is either on or off for displaying hidden files. However, there is a Contextual Menu item that may do what you want:
http://home.online.no/~stoedle/YLS/YLS-products/FolderGlance.html
You set it up so when you control or right click on a folder it displays all the contents, including hidden files. FolderGlance is donationware.

How IE works for flat file

Hi all:
As we all know that, when IE gets a idoc's service name from SLD, then use it with idoc's message type and Idoc type to do receiver determniation, what about flat file ? how can we know its Service name and interface name if there is only a flat file on FTP? how IE works for Flat file ?
Couldn't thank you more

Hi,
For any idoc scenarious, you would use business systems rather than business service which is stored in SLD. So the IE would fetch it from SLD at runtime.
For file based scenarious also, you can create business system as type third party and use the same.
Is that answer your question?

Delta Upload for Flat File

Hello Everyone
i am srikanth. i would like to know wheather do we have a facility for Delta Upload for flat file. If yes can u please give me the steps.
thanks in advance
srikanth

Hi Sabrina...thank you for ur help...i did load the data from cube to ods
steps.
1. i generated export data source on the cube
2. i found the name of the cube with prefix 8<infocube name> in the infosource under DM application component.
3. there are already communication structure and transfer rules activated but when i am creating update rules for the ods..i am getting the message 0recordmode missing in the infosource.
4. so i went to infosource and added 0recordmode in communication structure and activated but the transfer rules in yellow colour..there was no object assigned to 0recordmode but still i activated.
5.again i went to ods and created update rules and activated (tis time i didnt get any message about 0recordmode).
6.i created infopackage and loaded.
a)Now my question is without green signal in the transfer rule how data populated into the ods and in your answer you mentioned to create communication structure and transfer rules where in i didnt do anything.
b) will i b facing any problem if i keep loading the data into the ods from cube (in yellow signal) ..is it a correct procedure..plz correct me..thanks in advance

How to Delta Update in Flat Files

Hi all,
I would like to know is delta update is supported in flat files ? If yes how does this work ..... is there a SAP white paper or document on this
Thanks
Nathan

Hi......
Yes Delta upload is supported by Flat files..........In this case........when the delta data records are loaded by flat file......... This delta type is only used is 'F'.......for DataSources for flat file source systems. Flat files are imported to the PSA when you execute the InfoPackage. The staging process then begins.........The delta queue is not used here.
As Siggi already told in the Following thread......post your flatfile data to an ods object with update mode overwrite. The ods object will do the delta for you then.........
Delta Upload for Flat File
Also Check this.......

When we go for Flat File creatin

Hi gurus,
When we go for flat file creation.Can any one give me one Scenario with example.
Thanks in advance

Hello Srikar,
How r u ?
We go for flat file in some scenarios like,
1. The source system could not be connected to the BW System (here u could generate a FlatFile)
2. If the Customer asks for a different kind of report (in our case we do FlatFile Creation for a complex time management - Employee Working Time is 1st merged with R/3 data, then we combine both together as 1 FlatFile)
3. Sometimes the customer will give the FlatFile data generated by them
4. We also take FlatFile reports from Data Targers, using InfoSpokes
More scenarios are there,
Best Regards....

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.

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
