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,
Nishant Tatkar.

How to extract data from multiple flat files to load into corresponding tables in SQL Server 2008 R2 ?

Hi,
          I have to implement the following scenario in SSIS but don't know how to do since I never worked with SSIS before. Please help me.
          I have 20 different text files in a single folder and 20 different tables corresponding to each text file in SQL Server 2008 R2 Database. I need to extract the data from each text file and
load the data into corresponding table in Sql Server Database. Please guide me in how many ways I can do this and which is the best way to implement this job. Actually I have to automate this job. Few files are in same format(with same column names
and datatypes) where others are not.
1. Do I need to create 20 different projects ?
               or
    Can I implement this in only one project by having 20 packages?
             or
    Can I do this in one project with only one package?
Thanks in advance.

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:

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

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:

Loading data from remote flat file

I want to load data from flat file present on Solaris Sparc into Oracle table present on AIX platform. Both machines are on the network.
According to my research, i can use the following methods.
1-SQL Loader
2-Mount drive on Oracle Machine and then use External table.
Is there any other way of loading table from flat file which is suitable in this scenario.

While I'm sure we could come up with alternatives, SQL*Loader and external tables would certainly tend to be the most appropriate/ conventional approaches. Is there something about these approaches that does not meet your requirements?

How to to load data from a flat file in selection screen in portal .

Dear All,
I have a question to share : In BEX analyzer i know how i can upload multiple data in selection screen through a flat file , for example if i have to load 200 materials at one go in the selection screen, i can do that in BEX Analyzer . But if i run the same report through portal i am not able to find the upload option through flat file ..... Am i missing some option here ?
Thanks & Regards,

You will not be able to load through the portal directly. it is possible to load if you can create Visual composer model. that also you will not be able to upload in bulk.

Loading data from two flat files into one table

Hi All,
I want to load few fields from one file and few fields from another file and load the data into one table in the database.
For Ex: I have two flat files file1.csv and file2.csv and file1.csv containes 25 columns and file2.csv containes 12 columns, i want to load 20 columns from file1.csv and 7 columns from file2.csv into the table
how to combine the columns from both the files and load them into one table at a time?
Any help is appriciated
Thanks
R.G

Use external tables.
If using Oracle9 or higher connect both your csv with database as separate external tables and load the requited fields in new/requited table.

How to load a comma seprated text file which contain address in to sql server table using ssis package

Hi,
I want to load a file which is comma separated and contain address .Problem is that address its self comma seprated so how do I differenciate whether comma used for column seprator or it used in address.
for eg.
One person having address like
"c/o AB corp,156 cross lane,USA"
Thanks.....

Hi SR_MCTS,
Based on your description, you want to distinguish a comma is used for column separator or used in address column in a text file, then load the data from the text file to SQL Server table.
As per my understanding, if you can replace the comma column separator to another delimiter like semicolon (;), just do it. Then we can select Semicolon {;} as Column delimiter for the Flat File Connection Manager. Or ensure all columns are enclosed in double
quotes ("). Then we can set the double quotes (") as Text qualifier for the Flat File Connection Manager, and the commas will be loaded as part of the string fields.
If you can't have that done, because computers don't know the context of the data, you would have to come up with some kind of rules that decides when a comma represents a delimiter, and when it is just part of the text. I think a custom script component
would be necessary to pre-process the data, identify where a comma is part of an address, and then treat that as one field.

Error while uploading data from a flat file

Hi All,
I am trying to load data from a flat file to an ODS. The flat file contains a field, say FLAT01, of numerical type(Type Decimal, Length 18, Decimals 2). I have created an infoobject, say ZIO10, with type CURR and currency field, 0CURRENCY. In the transfer rules, I have assigned a constant for 0CURRENCY as the flat file doesn't have any currecy field.
The problem is the flat file doesn't have any value in that field, FLAT01, for some records, infact most of the records. When I try to load it to BW,from applicatin server, it is throwing an error "Contents from field ZIO10 cannot be converted in type CURR ->longtext".
I have debugged the transfer rules and find that the empty value is being represented as '#' and when it is trying to copy it into the CURR type field, it is throwing the error.
Can someone please let me know how to solve it? why is it taking '#' for enpty value? Can't we change that?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
James.

Hi SS,
I am sorry that I was not clear with my explanation. I have created ZIO10 as a keyfigure with type AMOUNT and the currency as 0CURRENCY.
There is no currency coming in from the flat file so I used a constant in transfer rules to fill 0CURRENCY.
The field which is coming as '#' is FLAT01 which is assigned to ZIO10.
Best Regards,
James.

What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

Hi,
I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far!
I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
Alternative 1
I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
Alternative 2
The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
Thanks,
Carsten.

How to load data from one Infocube to another request by request using DTP

Hi All,
I have a scenario where we are maintaining backup Infocube B for Infocube A. User loads data from a flat file many times a day in different requests. We need to maintain backup of the Infocube A on weekly basis. i.e data to be refreshed with delta update from cube A to cube B. There are some situations where user deletes some of the requests in Infocube A randomly after use. Will this change effect in back up cube B when performed data refresh from cube A to cube B. i.e. this functionality is similar to reconstruct in BW 3.5. Now we are running on BI 7.0 SP 9.
Can anyone answer this ASAP.
Many Thanks,
Ravi

You cannot load request by request, " Get Data By Request " DTP loads request by request on " First In First Out " basis. You can run some Pseudo/Fake DTP's if you dont want to load data from a particular request.
If the user deletes a request from Cube A, it wont be loaded to Cube B but if it is already loaded in Cube B and later the user deletes the request from Cube A you have to delete the request frm Cube B. Inorder to monitor request by request run DTP with " Get Data By Request set.
