How to load .DAT file

Hi,
I want to load .DAT file from Al11 to one of my ODS.
Can anyone tel me how to load (directly to ODS from Al11), what all things i need to use in infopackage.
Thanks.

Hi,
Loading .DAT file from AL11 is nothing but loading from Application server, You need to keep the follwing settings while loading the file:
In the Infopackage under extraction TAB:
Adapter  :Load Text Type file from Application Server.
Header rows to be ignored : Blank (Nill)
data format :Seperated with Seperator (CSV)
Data Seprator : ,
Escape Sign  : "
Give the path of the application server where you are keeping the file
Thanks

  • How to load data from a  flat file which is there in the application server

    HI All,
              how to load data from a  flat file which is there in the application server..

    Hi,
    Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
    If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
    Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How to load data from MS Excel file

    Hello All,
    Please help me regarding:
    how to load data/ insert records from MS Excel spreadsheet into Oracle table without converting that MS Excel file into CSV.
    Thank You in advance.

    Vivek More wrote:
    how to load data/ insert records from MS Excel spreadsheet into Oracle table without converting that MS Excel file into CSV.Setup HS connectivity:
    1. Create ODBC SYSTEM DSN using Microsift Excel driver(xls) and select your excel file as workbook.
    2. Create file initXLS.ora in %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin directory contailing the following line:
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = XLS3. Modify listener.ora file in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin directory and add the following lines to SID_LIST under SID_LIST_LISTENER
        (SID_DESC =
          (SID_NAME = XLS)
          (ORACLE_HOME = your-oracle-home)
          (PROGRAM = hsodbc)

    XLS =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SID = XLS)
        (HS=OK)
      )5. Restart listener.
    6. Create database link (public or private depending on your needs):
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK XLS USING 'XLS';7. Now you are all set. For example my file has:
    NAME
    SAM
    JOEDefault sheet name "Sheet1$" is treated as table name (Since excel is case sensitive you need to use quoted name). First row is treated as column name. And select:
    SQL> select * from "Sheet1$"@xls;
    NAME
    SAM
    JOE
    SQL> Now if you do not know excel sheet names you can issue (I renamed excel sheet Sheet1$ to Names$):
    SQL> select table_name from all_tables@xls;
    TABLE_NAME
    Names$
    Sheet2$
    Sheet3$
    SQL> select column_name from all_tab_columns@xls where table_name = 'Names$';

  • How to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

    By using Oracle Forms, how to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

    Metalink note 33247.1 explains how to use text_io as suggested by Robin to read the file into a Multi-Row block. However, that article was written for forms 4.5 and uses CREATE_RECORD in a loop. There was another article, 91513.1 describing the more elegant method of 'querying' the file into the block by transactional triggers. Unfortunately this more recent article has disappeared without trace and Oracle deny its existence. I know it existed as I have a printed copy in front of me, and very useful it is too.

  • How to load xml file data

    hi ,
    I know how to load data from csv file...
    Anyone can guide me for how to load data from xml file
    i need step by step guidence
    from
    naman

    hi naman shah,
    you can used XML DOM in SAP in order to read data from xml file
    first step to do that, you need to read the xml file using OPEN DATASET
    after that you convert the content of the file to XML DOM class in SAP using function modul SDIXML_XML_TO_DOM
    after that you can read / manipulate the data from xml.
    for the XML DOM class documentation in SAP, please refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/bb/576637dca511d4990b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm

  • How to load flat file in existing Architecture.

    Hi everyone!
    There is an existing architecture that I have to upload data into.  There is a cube on top, followed below by an ODS and its update rules to the cube, followed below by an Infosource and its corresponding update rule to the ODS above it, followed below by a datasource (it says PC FILES(PC_FILE)) and its accompanying transfer rules to the infosource....
    There is nothing in the ODS...  No data.  The Datasource says emmulated 3.x Datasource...  (What does this mean?)
    What I want to do is upload data via a flat file...  Good BI Masters, how do I do this?  How do I create a "dummy file" for upload?  What are the specific sequence of steps that I need to do to load this flat file data?
    Thank thank you so much!
    Philips

    emulated DS:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/8c/131e3b9f10b904e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    I'm not sure what you are asking - is it how to load a file all the way to cube in 7.0?
    From the architecture desc you have given, you havent migrated ur dataflow to new 7.0 dataflow, as you still have the update rules and transfer rules. So though ur system is 7.0, ur backend is still on 3.x, so the way you load a file is the same when your system was 3.x(before upgrade)
    Or - are you asking the steps to load the file to a cube - no matter which environment you are in  (3.x or 7.0)? if so, let us know .. and do a search on the forum for steps to load flatfile

  • How to load data with carriage return through DRM action script ?

    Hello,
    We are using DRM to manage Essbase metadata. These metadata contain a field for member formula.
    Currently it's a string data type property in DRM so we can't use carriage return and our formula are really hard to read.

    Hi,
    You need to create a transformation file and a conversion file if required. First upload the excel (csv) file into BPC using Manage Data and Upload File option.
    Create the transformation file (refer to the sap help  on how to define a transformation file). You need to specify the mapping correctly and include all your application dimensions and map them to appropriate columns of the flat file.
    Before running the import package, do validate the data in the flat file you uploaded into BPC with the transformation file you created.
    Thanks,
    Sreeni

  • *** Question How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0

    Hi, I created an manual DTP upload to my planning infocube and it works fine.  The transformation rules convert 0CALMONTH into the relevant Calendar and Fiscal characteristics.   So all of my Time Characteristics are fine, both Calendar and Fiscal.
    However, When using the "How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0" solution, only the Calendar Characteristics are populated and not the Fiscal.   The upload application somehow knows to populate the 0CALMONTH2, 0CALQUART1, 0CALQUARTER, and 0CALYEAR.  
    How can I get the upload to populate my Fiscal Period Characteristics?
    Would it be best to modify the "Upload Application, or can I write a planning function to update the fiscal characteristics, or some other way?
    Thanks!

    My planning data is being uploaded via the SDN Planning File Upload Solution. What I did was end up modifiying the upload class ZCL_RSPLF_FILE_UPLOAD Method EXECUTE.
    I added the following code if anyone is interested.
