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.

How to load Material from Flat File and convert to SAP Format

Hi
I am loading 0Material values from Flat File for mapping purpose. The format of Material in Flat File is "7704132". Within the system, i need to compare the value with 0Material values from the incoming data and update corresponding 0Material in records. for this purpose, I created dummy materials taking 0Material as template and trying to load data. I am getting invalid error- Version '7704132' is not valid RSDMD No194. Can anyone please let me know how to over come this issue. Should I include any routine in the data source or rules level. I am in BI 7.0.
Thanks.

Hi,
Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to convert the value into Internal format .Use this FM in the Transformations (field mapping).
Search the forum with CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for more information on this.

How to load data thru flat file in demantra?

Hi,
I am using seeded data model for loading data for DM module in demantra.
As per data model there is 3 staging tables for item, location and sales_data i.e. t_src_item_tmpl,t_src_loc_tmpl,t_src_sales_tmpl respectively.
I have seen the final table for sales data i.e. sales_data table. ther is only one item_id and location_id column against which sales_date and quantity is loaded.
I have same sales_data and quantity to be loaded for different location hierarchy and item hierarchy .
How the data file is created ? if you have any sample data files , can you please share with me ? If any changes needs to be done in data model for loading datardsa in custom hierarchies ?
Regards

Welcome user10979220 to the wonderful forum.
"How many rows will be there in item flat file ?
How many rows will be there in location flat file ?
How many rows will be there in sales data flat file ?"
Answer to these questions are based on the number of sales that has occured as well as the item hierarchy and the product hierarchy.
From the example
Item_name | organization | ship to site | Sales date | quantity
item 1 org1 site1 19-Jan-2008 80
item1 org1 site2 20-Jan-2008 100
I can say that the number of rows in sales data is 2 while that in item file is 1 and location file is 2.
The answer to how the flat file will look is
Item file can have
Item_Id|Item_Name
01     Item1
Location file can have
Org_Id|Org_Name|Site_Id|Site_name
O_01     Organization 1     S_01     Site 1
O_01     Organization 1     S_02     Site 2
Sales file can have
Item_Id|Item_Name|Org_Id|Org_Name|Site_Id|Site_name|sales_date|Quantity
01     Item1     O_01     Organization 1     S_01     Site 1     19-Jan-2008 80
01     Item1     O_01     Organization 1     S_02     Site 2     20-Jan-2008 100
Once you define the data model and load the data it is advisable not to change the data model since the next time when you load the incremental data it will error out due to the mismatching columns. So its better that you define the data model first and then create the files accordingly.
Hence after loading data if you want to view sales data at the product_category1 level then you should already have the product_category1 level defined in the data model.Else You have to create the product_category1 level and associate it in the item hierarchy.Also the sales file should have columns for product_category1.
Then the item file will look like
Item_Id|Item_Name|Product_category1_Id|Product_category1_desc
01     Item1     PC_01     Product_category 1
and the sales file will look like
Item_Id|Item_Name|Org_Id|Org_Name|Site_Id|Site_name|sales_date|Quantity
01     Item1     O_01     Organization 1     S_01     Site 1     19-Jan-2008 80
01     Item1     O_01     Organization 1     S_02     Site 2     20-Jan-2008 100
This is just a basic overview about loading the data into the staging tables.In short the item table should have the item hierarchy in it, the location file should have the location hierarchy in it and the sales file must contain the details about the sales at the lowest item-location level.
Hope I answered your query.
Thanks and Regards,
Shekhar

How to load properties from csv file directly into a .dll parameter in a test step

Hi,
I would like to take values from a property file and plug them directly into parameter used to invoke dll calls.
I have looked at examples on how to use the property loader to input test limits, but I cannot figure out how to pipe into the params.
I have tried. <step name>.Module.<param name>
step.propertieslist[0].
Any ideas?
Thanks,
m
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I agree that it would be nice. The difference between limits and parameters though is that parameters are set dynamically. What I mean by that is you never know how many parameters a step will have until you define the module. Whereas the Limits are always set in stone. The only difference is the MultiNumeric Limit Test which is just an array that get's appended too with the same datatype. And the only acess to a parameters value is through the API unless it is a variable.
The other hard part is that you don't know the datatype of parameters. Any step can have any number of parameters as well as any datatype being passed to each individual parameter.
I think if you are set on NOT creating Locals or FileGlobals then you would need to create custom step types with subproperties that get assigned to the parameters. This could be even more painful though because now you have to maintain and support the custom step types.
The other option would be to create your own property loader step that could call in and set things in the API. HMMM now that would be an interesting project...

Loading Hierarchies using flat file

Hi experts,
I have requirement to load hierarchies using flat file.
I have to create hier on Person Responsible, sub nodes are Sales Office, Project Definition, Project Type and Project Definition Description. I have file, i need to load into BW.
I dont know much about hier loading, can you tell me what are the Attributes to be inserted and how to prepare the hier loading file which contains HIENM, VERSION, HCLASS, DATEFROM and DATETO.
I dont know these fields are enough to load my hier.
I have created one hier, when i try to activate it's giving error like ' no data exists'.
Can anyone tell me how to prepare file to load into hierarchy?
Thanks in advance,
Venky

Hi Venkatesh,
There are several formats to load a hierarchy via file. The following two are the commonly used formats.
1) Default
Node ID                     NODEID
InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
Node Name     NODENAME
Link Name     LINK
HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
Language Key     LANGU
Description - Short     TXTSH
Description - Medium     TXTMD
Description - Long     TXTLG
2) Sorted
Node ID                     NODEID
InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
Node Name     NODENAME
Link Name     LINK
HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
First Subnode     CHILDID
Next Node Along     NEXTID
Language Key     LANGU
Description - Short     TXTSH
Description - Medium     TXTMD
Description - Long     TXTLG
If Default format is used, the sequence of node IDs appeared in the flat file determines the structure of the hierarchy. Whereas the sorted hierarchy format defines the structure via PARENTID, CHILDID, NEXTID relationship.
You make the selection in DataSource/Tran.Structure tab of InfoSource Page by clicking on the "Hier. Structure button.
Good luck!

How to create 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

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

Load data from flat file to target table with scheduling in loader

Hi All,
I have requirement as follows.
I need to load the data to the target table on every Saturday. My source file consists of dataof several sates.For every week i have to load one particular state data to target table.
If first week I loaded AP data, then second week on Saturday karnatak, etc.
can u plz provide code also how can i schedule the data load with every saturday with different state column values automatically.
Thanks & Regards,
Sekhar

The best solution would be:
get the flat file to the Database server
define an External Table pointing to that flat file
insert into destination table(s) as select * from external_table
Loading only single state data each Saturday might mean troubles, but assuming there are valid reasons to do so, you could:
create a job with a p_state parameter executing insert into destination table(s) as select * from external_table where state = p_state
create a Scheduler chain where each member runs on next Saturday executing the same job with a different p_stateparameter

Loading data from flat file...

Hello,
I am actually experiencing a problem where I cant load data from a flat file into a table. I have actually reverse engineered the flat file into ODI. But the thing is I don't know how to load the data that is reversed into a RDBMS table. Added, I don't know how create this RDBMS table form within ODI to be reflected on the DB. Added, don't know how to load the data from the flat file onto this table without having to add the columns in order to map between the flat file and the table.
In conclusion, I need to know how to create an RDBMS table from within ODI on the database. And how to automatically map the flat file to the DB table and load the data into the DB table.
Regards,
Hossam

Hi Hossam,
We can used ODI procedure to create table in the DB.
Make sure you keep the column name in the table name same as the column name in FLAT FILE so that it can automatically map the column.
and regarding Loading data from FLAT File i.e. our source table is FLAT FILE till ODI 10.1.3.4 we need to manually insert the datastore since the file system cannot be reversed.
Please let me know Hossam if i can assis you further.
Thanks and Regards,
Andy

hi guys,
my heirarchy is different from the one in the blog. should i mark all the infoobjects in all nodes as hierarchy relavant or only the bottom one? i also brought the 0hier_node from the business content. i dont know what other valid infoobject is missing ......plz help........
the following are more details about the dump

Loading Pipe delmiter flat file with ',' (comma)

Hi Guys,
I have a field which contains ',' as its value. The value is 0315A Mgr, Cust Service for a infoobject called ZJOB_TIT.
Also, I have wrote the following code in field routine since previously this field was throwing hexadecimal errors and the load is through flat file.
DATA: v_gpurqtrnr TYPE /BIC/OIZJOB_TIT.
MOVE SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZJOB_TIT TO v_gpurqtrnr.
TRANSLATE v_gpurqtrnr TO UPPER CASE.
IF v_gpurqtrnr CN
',<>?/{}[]\|;:"''ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!@#$%^&*()_-+=123456789~` .'
RESULT = space.
ELSE.
RESULT = v_gpurqtrnr.
ENDIF.
After loading the data, in preview of PSA - everything looks fine. Field ZJOB_TIT shows to have the value 0315A Mgr, Cust Service. But when I load to the cube - I get blank for the same field.
I am not sure what more i can do to eradicate this problem.

Hi
PSA is the data before under going your tranformation or field routine. so you are able to see the data in that field . Now as per the code which you have written above it will surely be deleting all the characteristics which you have given under '.......' . Modify your code to eliminate only the comma and not the alpha numberic values.

Loading of flat file (csv) into PSA – no data loaded

Hi BW-gurus,
We have an issue regarding loading a flat file (csv) into PSA using an infopackage u2013 (BI 7.0)
The infopackage has been used for a while. Prior the consultants with SAP_ALL-profile have run the infopackage. Now we want a few super users to run the infopackage.
We have created a role for the super users, including authorization objects:
Data Warehousing objects: S_RS_ADMWB
Activity: 03, 16, 23, 63, 66
Data Warehousing Workbench obj: INFOAREA, INFOOBJECT, INFOPACKAG, MONITOR, SOURCESYS, WORKBENCH
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 datasource (version > BW 3.x): S_RS_DS
Activity: All
Datasource: All
Subobject for New DataSource: All
Sourcesystem: FILE
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 infosource (flex update): S_RS_ISOUR
Activity: Display, Maintain, Request
Application Component: All
InfoSource: All
InfoSource Subobject: All values
As mentioned, the infopackage in question, has been used by consultants with SAP_ALL-profile for some time, and been working just fine. When the super users with the new role are executing the infopackage, the records are found, but not loaded into PSA. The load seems to be stuck, but no error message occurs. The file we are trying to load contains only 15 records.
Details monitor:
Overall status: Missing messages or warnings (yellow)
Requests (messages): Everything ok (green)
-> Data request arranged (green)
-> Confirmed with: OK (green)
Extraction (messages): Errors occurred (yellow)
-> Data request received (green)
-> Data selection scheduled (green)
-> 15 Records sent (0 Records received) (yellow)
-> Data selection ended (green)

Processing (data packet): Warnings received (yellow)
-> Data package 1 (? Records): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Inbound processing (0 records): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Update PSA (0 Records posted): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Processing end: Missing messages (yellow)
Have we forgotten something? Any assistance will be highly appreciated!
Cheers,
Anne Therese S. Johannessen

Hi,
Try to use the transaction ST01 to trace the authorization of the upload with the SAP_ALL.
And the enhance your Profile for the super user.

What is the proper way to load images from css in Java 8?
Ref
How to load images from css file in JavaFX 8 - Stack Overflow

There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement. The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
When loading from a file on a client computer:
READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.
