Uregnt - How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser

Hello,
We have followed the 'How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser' guide to build BSP web front-end to upload flat file. Everything works great but we have a requirement to populate the Planning Area Variables based on BSP drop down list with values. Does anyone know how to do this? We have the BSP coded with drop down list all we need to do now is populate variables. We can populate the variables through the planning level (hardcoded) but we need to populate them through the web interface.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,
We have acheived the desired result by not too a clean method but it works for us.
What we have done is, we have the link to load file in a page where the variables can be input. The user would then have the option to choose the link to load a file for the layout in that page.
By entering the variable values in the page, we are able to read the variables for the file input directly in the load program.
Maybe this approach might help.

How to load flat file in BPS through Web-debugging

Hi,
We are working on flat file upload in BPS thru guide 'How to load flat file in BPS through Web'. Can some one guide on how to debug the function modules used while uploading the data.
We have set up the break point in the function modules and also in the BSP page. But when trying to debug while uploading, it is not going to the break point which was set.
Could you assist in setting up the break point.
Regards,
Sreenath

Hi,
I have put an external break-point.
I have hard coded it in the coding of the function module itself.
The code is perfectly working. But, when I want to check for the values of the variables in the F.M during runtime, the break-point is not triggering. Any ideas??

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!

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

Issue in How-To document "Load flat file using SAPGUI"?

Hi,
I'm having an issue with following lines in the How-To document.
I've a characteristic "CHAR1" which is restricted with multuple values in the planning level.
after the upload using this document, CHAR1 is being loaded incorrect & during my debugging I've noticed that program is changing CHAR1 values while executing following lines of code.
It works fine, if i don't have a restriction for CHAR1 at planning level.
It also works fine, if i restricted CHAR1 with a single value in level.
It's not working as expected, if i restrict CHAR1 with multiple single values.
incase of multiple single values restriction, following is happening.
let's say i load following file & i restricted CHAR1 with values "aaaaa,fffff" in level.
CHAR1 CHAR2 value
aaaaa bbbbb 1000
fffff eeeee 2000
it's being loaded as follows. Program is changing all values of CHAR1 with 1st value of the restricted multiple values and in this case, it is "aaaaa".
CHAR1 CHAR2 value
aaaaa bbbbb 1000
aaaaa eeeee 2000
Has any one encountered the same problem?
Marc,
Could you please comment on this.
>>> INSERT
Set fixed fields
LOOP AT ito_chasel INTO ls_chasel.
READ TABLE ls_chasel-t_charng INTO ls_charng INDEX 1.
IF sy-subrc = 0 AND ls_charng-option = 'EQ'.
ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_chasel-chanm OF STRUCTURE ls_data-s_chas TO <f>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
<f> = ls_charng-low.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
<<< INSERT
Appreciate any help.

Marc,
I still need to keep the lines of coding as I've few characteristics restrictied to single values & one characteristic restricted to multiple single values.
when the coding is commented out, single value restricted characteristics are not getting populated with any value.
I'm counting the table entries "ls_chasel-t_charng" and if entries are 1, then am activating the code. this seems to be working fine. Do you see any problems/issues with this?

BPS - How to Load Flat File ... - Transport RC 8

Hi Guys,
We tried to implement the How to solution named "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI" and in development in works fine.
When we tried to transport in Quality we had a RC 8 (falure) because of the coding of the global data of the function group.
In fact in the global data we have to declare some Types referred to a Table Type that has the following name: /1sem/_yth_data_<sy-mandt><Planning_Area>. Since mandt is different the Table Type cannot be found ... and in STMS we get the message "The type '/1SEM/_YTH_DATA_170ZCSPAB11'" is unknown.
Did somebody of you experienced suche a problem and found a solution?
Thanks in advace to who will help
GFV

Hi Marc,
about client numbers ... I will repeat your suggestion to system administrators. I noticed the habitude to give <i><b>ALWAYS</b></i> different client numbers in all the installation I worked on! I know it's a non-sense but generally we start to work after the system has been installed ...
The solution to use Custom DDIC types according to e has the advantage of an easier implementation but the disadvantage usage, especially in dynamic projects!
At least I came (with some help form ABAP Forum Guys) to an ABAP "coding" solution that I would like to share in a weblog (already asked for to SDN).
Bye

Urgent: Problem to load Flat file using DTP.

Hi Experts,
I try to load a flat file PSA->DSO->INFOCUBE using DTP.
I my flatfile in the application server in csv format.
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
If I check the preview: I cant find any data and get the message: Inbound processing of data package 000001 finished
when I try to Load the data thorough PC the load was successfull but only 0 records are transfered and added to PSA:; DSO and Info Cube.
The test file contains around 20 records.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sailekha..
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
Note: As per ur info:
In the Flat file Data source :
1. You have to maintain the Adapter as:
Load Text -Type file from Application Server
Data Format : Separated with Separator
Then Use the "Proposal" Tab to generate the field proposals.
(Only in BI 7.0 this option is available).
After that check the Preview in "Preview" Tab.
Hope it works...
Cheers,...

How to load flat file containing data(separated by commas) into cube sapbi.

hi gurus,
please help me with this question?
i have some data in the flat file for example, address but with commas for ex:
h.no:123,colony,area,hyd-59.now i have even other columns in this flat file like customer name,age.....i want to know ,how to load this data into infocube. where in when it comes to address column sap bi takes it as a single column in the generated report.

Hi Amulya,
To get reports on all ur records save ur flat file in .CSV format -> to do this open ur flat file, save as "filename.csv".
-> CSV is nothing but comma seperator value, sap supports two types of formats 1).csv and 2) ASCII format.
we prefer .csv format.
check this link for step by step modelling.

Issue in calling webdynpro for loading flat file in IP

Hello,
We have implemented the How-To load flat files in IP paper and we are facing an issue in that. The generated webdynpro runs on ABAP Application server but we need to call this from a Web template which runs on portal server.
These two servers are different and we don't want to hardcode the url in webtemplate as the server names will change in Q & P for webdynpro. Can anyone advise how we can read the ABAP Application server details in WAD may be using javascript and then generate the URL for webdynpro dynamically.
Regards,
Deepti

Hi Deepti,
We have also facing the same challenge. Could you please post the solution in which URL path change dynamically.
I have created the ABAP function module based on the below link.

But not sure how to call the function module using custom web item & java script. Coould you please explain the steps on the same ?
