could anyone please advice me on above error.
thanx.

First of all, is file located on (or is accessible from) database server? If not - you can't load it neither with UTL_FILE nor with external table. You need to use client side tool like SQL*Loader or write your own client side load. If file is accessible from database server, then, as sb92075 noted, external table (assuming you are not on some ancient Oracle version) is the way to go.

How to load data using two maps for the same source file in Import Manager

Hi,
I am trying to load the source data to MDM using two map files, since one map is too big (creating memory error).
However the first map data able to see after loading (SAP data) but when loading second map(nonSAP data) using the remote key to match the previously loaded SAP key ,even if MDM is processing the data it is not reflecting in data manager.
Is there any reason for this.
Appreciate your suggestion and tips on this.
regrds,
Reo

Hi Reo,
As ur requirement seems,In the second pass perform recording matching by select default import action as "update null fields only" for those data records which are matching and "create " for those data records which are not matching with previous data records from SAP system.
If you define "update null fields only", then only the key of the new record from NON SAP will get appended to the existing record. And if you select "create" then it will create new records and will apply NON SAP key on it.
Please check the remote key values using data manager.Key is applied in the records or not.
Remember that import maps are client specific. Remote key comprises of both key and client system.So be sure that you are connecting to two different client systems.
I have tried this and this is working fine on my system.
Thanks,

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

XI Sender file adapter - How to process data and control files.

Hello all,
I have the following requirement to fulfill: I am using an FTP client (XI Sender file adapter) to retrieve data from an FTP site. To make sure I am not picking up a data file that is currently being written to, 2 files are actually present on the FTP site (for each data file):
1. abc.ctrl (control file with no data in it. Indicates that the data file has been completely written).
2. abc.dat (actual data file).
I want the file/ftp connector in XI to retrieve the data file (abc.dat) only if the control file (abc.ctrl) is present. After the processing of the data file is finished, both files (.dat and .ctrl) should be deleted.
Is there an elegant and robust way to accomplish this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Yves,
in my opinion there's no problem with files currently being written in combination with a polling file adapter because the final file name should be available only when the file is transferred completely. I'm using different file sender adapters very often and never had any problems. After picking up the files I move them to the corresponding archive folders mentioned in the adapters so that a second processing cannot occur.

Problem Loading Data Using UTL File Package

Hi Friends..
My Database is Oracle 10gR2 and OS is WINDOWS.
I have one excel file which contains 10 fields.
My requirement is to Load data from 1 excel file into two tables..
tables are master and detail
Below are sample data and structure for it..
Excel file format
TEST.CSV
Srno Empno Empname City Challanno challandate Materialno materialname Materialqty Materialcost

Challanno
challandate
Detail table
empno
materialno

My question is ..While reading 1st line if its empno is new then record is entered in master table for the first time and remaining records of same empno is entered in detail table.. now when empno no changes then new entry is done in master table and associated records are entered in detail table..
So in this case for empno 232 master table would have
232,533,20/4/2010
Detail table for empno 232 would now have 2 records..
232,11,abc,34,10
232,12,aa,4,110

I've been computer programming for 28 years (jeez has it really been that long :D ), so I wouldn't be telling you that you're doing it the wrong way without knowing that there are better ways to do it and you're asking for the wrong way. Speak with your boss, tell him that you've been recommended to use External Tables instead because they're the right way to read such data and UTL_FILE is not the right approach.

Use Control File to load data in BW7.0

Hi All,
I have a requirement to load data in BW using control file. The development is done in in BW 7.0. In BW 3.5 there is an option of FILE IS ( Control File or Data File ). Please suggest how to simulate the same in BW 7.0
Regards,
Vikram

Hi Vikram,
Please have the contents of a sample control file. The file should be saved as ".TXT".
FILENAME = C:\test.csv
FILETYPE = CSV
LOCATION = C
FS = ,
ESCAPE = "
DECIMALPOINT = ,
1000SEPARATOR = .
RECCOUNT = 8
RECSIZE = 53
PACKETSIZE = 1000
Filename should contain the path of the CSV file
Filetype is CSV
location is 'C' for Workstation and 'A' for Application Server
FS contains field seperator ',' in our case
RECCOUNT contain the Rec. Count
RECSIZE is the Max DB size of the a single row ( this can be evaluated by the Total DB Size of a single Line of the Target BW Structure as well ).
The content of my sample test.csv are
1234567890,10,9999999999,,,15,01/01/2005
1234567891,20,9999999999,,,30,01/01/2005

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 create a datasource for 0COSTCENTER to load data in csv file in BI

how to create a datasource for 0COSTCENTER to load data in csv file in BI 7.0 system
can you emil me the picture of the step about how to loaded individual values of the hierarchy using CSV file
thank you very much
my emil is <Removed>
allen

Step 1: Load Required Master Data for 0CostCenter in to BI system
Step 2: Enable Characteristics to support Hierarchy for this 0Cost Center and specify the External Characteristic(In the Lowest Node or Last Node) while creation of this Characteristic InfoObject
Step 3: On Last Node of Hierarchy Structure in the InfoObject, Right Click and then Create Hierarchy MANUALLY by Inserting the Master Data Value as BI dosent Support the Hierarchy load directly you need to do it manually....
Step 4: Mapping
Create Text Node thats the first node (Root Node)
Insert Characteristic Nodes
Insert the Last Node of the Hierarchy
Then you need to create a Open hub Destination for extracting data into the .csv file...
Step1 : Create the Open Hub Destination give the Master Data table name and enter all the fields required....and create the transformations for this Open Hub connecting to the External file or excel file source...then give the location on to your local disk or path of the server in the first tab and request for the data...It should work alright let me know if you need anything else...
Thanks,
Sandhya

How to load hierrarchies using dtp using flat file in bw ineed clear ste

how to load hierrarchies using dtp using flat file in bw ineed clear steps

Hi,
If you want to load InfoObjects in the form of hierarchies, you have to activate the indicator with hierarchies for each of the relevant InfoObjects in the InfoObject maintenance. If necessary, you need to specify whether the whole hierarchy or the hierarchy structure is to be time-dependent, whether the hierarchy can contain intervals, whether additional node attributes are allowed (only when loading using a PSA), and which characteristics are allowed.
1.Defining the source system from which you want to load data:
Choose Source System Tree ® Root (Source System) ® Context menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create.
For a flat file, choose: File System, Manual Metadata; Data via File Interface.
2.Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data:
Optional: Choose InfoSource Tree ®Root (InfoSources) ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create Application Component.
Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create InfoSource ® Direct Update
Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
3.Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
Choose InfoSource tree ® Your Application Component ® One of your InfoSources ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Assign Source System. You are taken automatically to the transfer structure maintenance.
The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
      Attributes
      Texts
      Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
4.Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
Choose the DataSource to be able to upload hierarchies.
Idoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject, for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, during loading, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA, which affects performance.
PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here.
5.Maintaining the hierarchy:
Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy.
PSA Transfer Method: You have the option here to set the Remove Leaf Value and Node InfoObjects indicator. As a result, characteristic values are not transferred into the hierarchy fields NODENAME, LEAFFROM and LEAFTO as is normally the case, but in their own transfer structure fields. This option allows you to load characteristic values having a length greater than 32 characters.
Characteristic values with a length > 32 can be loaded into the PSA, but they cannot be updated in characteristics that have a length >32.
The node names for pure text nodes remain restricted to 32 characters in the hierarchy (0HIER_NODE characteristic).
The system automatically generates a table with the following hierarchy format (for sorted hierarchies without removed leaf values and node InfoObjects):
Description
Field Name
Length
Type
Node ID
NODEID
8
NUMC
InfoObject name
INFOOBJECT
30
CHAR
Node name
NODENAME
32
CHAR
Catalog ID
LINK
1
CHAR
Parent node
PARENTID
8
NUMC
First subnode
CHILDID
8
NUMC
Next adjacent node
NEXTID
8
NUMC
Language key
LANGU
1
CHAR
Description - short
TXTSH
20
CHAR
Description - medium
TXTMD
40
CHAR
Description- long
TXTLG
60
CHAR
The system transfers the settings for the intervals and for time-dependency from the InfoObject maintenance. Depending on which settings you have defined in the InfoObject maintenance, further table fields can be generated from the system.
The valid from and valid to field is filled if you select Total Hierarchy Time-dependent in the InfoObject maintenance. The time-dependent indicator is activated if you select the Hierarchy Nodes Time-dependent option in the InfoObject maintenance.
6.Save your entries.
Depending on which settings you defined in the InfoObject maintenance, additional fields can be generated from the system. Also note the detailed description for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via an IDoc and for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via a PSA.
