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.
Also find the below blog for your reference...

How to load hierarchies using process chains

Hi ,
Can any one please explain the steps for loading hierarchies using process chain.whenever i drag the hierarchy infopcakage Save variant is also coming by default,so do we need to have different SAve variant for different hierarchy infopackages or can we have one save variant for all the hierarchy variables.
Thanks,
Vaka

Hello Veka,
How r u ?
Yes ! SAVE Variant & Attribute Change Run will add up while loading the Hierarchy InfoPackage.
Provide the InfoObject Name for which u r loading the Hierarchy in the SAVE variant and SAVE it. The same will be transferred to the Attribute Change Run also.
If u r creating the Chain with more InfoPackages then have the Save Variant & Attribute Change Run at the last.
Best Regards....

How to load and use JVM form other types of applications ?

Hello
I have a site that runs with ASP and I would like to execute some java applications to output some of the pages.
I there a way to execute java programs in the JVM without having to create a new process running java.exe ?
Like using and ActiveX component or a special .dll from Sun. How does a web browser run applets ?
I can not use .jsp directly for my pages because my client also uses some custom language (MediaBase)
they bought that works only with ASP.
Thank you,
Timothy Madden,
Romania

Yes, or something like IPC with a service process, as Michael said.
First I wanted to know if JNI has an option the create a shared VM, since my client's web server has some other processes running that also run the JVM. Now it looks like JNI will load the JVM in-process, although the documentation says little about this, but the InitArgs structure has no 'is_shared' member.
But all these are complicated for some web page, difficult to invoke from a scripting language, and there is too much effort just to use some library that happens to be written in Java, which I use to export search results into an Excel workbook (the library is Apache POI). I mean I would do it, but my client will not understand the need for this effort. Than I also want some data transferred between my web script and the java application.
So I am going to stick to java.exe and create a new process on every hit, with the standard input, output and error files redirected to some vars in my script. At least until I find out more.
Thank you,

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,

Limit on records while loading flatfile using BPS GUI.

Things done,
1. planning function of type exit
2. one FM for initialize the data and one FM for loading the data.
3. the first FM is been modified to ask for a file using select file popup
4. the data is getting loaded into the system succesfully.
5. the file type is tab separated text file with extension .txt.
Questions:
1. Do we have any limit on number of records loaded into the system using BPS ?..
2. can i load more than 20,000 records in a single step or we need to break these records into chunk of 9999 in INIT FM ?
3. If there is a limit, please share the code if somebody has already done it.
Thanks


Hi
 
I have not faced this situation before so can't say with certainty about the limit on number of records. 
However I would like to suggest you the option of loading Flat File to your Transactional Cube using Update Rules. 
Agreed that Planning won't be available when data loading is happening but if data loading is once in a bluetime affair then this should be a very good option as we know you can load a Text file containing huge number of records to an InfoCube in a controlled manner.
 Hope it helps.

How to load data using sql to an Oracle database in 9i

I just started using Hyperion Analytic Admin Services and waswondering if there is a way to load data through a sql call ratherthan a flat file. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You need to create a Rules Files: - right click at Rules Files under Database name / Create Rules File - File / Open SQL Data Source -> you need to copy and paste your SQL code - Field / Properties / Data Load Properties -> define each collumn of the result set with an especific dimension. I hope that it helps you ! Regards Andrea Crespo

How to load file using Java

Hello,
I am trying to load file into the TimesTen (csv or txt) using Java language. I tried using query "LOAD DATA INFILE ..." but I received error that there is something wrong in word "DATA", later I tried to copy solution from sample programs written in Java but I get a lot of error which i couldn't solve. I also tried to use ttBulkCp in Java like this: query = {CALL ttBulkCp ... } but it wasn't working as well. There must be a way to load data from file to the TimesTen table using script written in Java, right?
Thank you for any ideas.

If you take a look at the quickstart guide you get when you install the product you'll see a java code example called 'level3.java' which does what you want:
This program uses the TimesTen JDBC driver to perform order processing operations:
a) Connect to the database using the TimesTenDataSource interface
b) Process all orders in the input3.dat file by inserting into the ORDERS and ORDER_ITEM tables.....

How to load configuration using Cisco USB port???

on USB-flush configuration there. I try to download it gives this:
Switch#copy usbflash0: 3560-ST
Source filename [3560-st]?
Destination filename [3560-ST]?
%Error opening usbflash0:3560-st (File not found)
What is the Problem? flash formatted on most Cisco (it has decreased in numbers from 16 GB to 2.75 GB)???

Syntax is the one as Chandu poined out.
However, i see there is a space between usb0: and the filename.
"Switch#copy usbflash0: 3560-ST"
Make sure there is no space in the syntax above and also the file name is correct.

How to manage different load frequencies in OWB?

How to manage different load frequencies in OWB?
We are using OWB repository 10.2.0.1.0 and OWB client 10.2.0.1.31. The Oracle version is 10 G (10.2.0.3.0). OWB is installed on Linux.
We have situation to bring data feed into database using OWB on different load frequency. Eg. Daily, weekly and monthly.
Are there any builtin features/best approaches in OWB to implement the above?
Does runtime audit tables maintain such load frequency data?
If not, do we need to maintain our own tables (custom) to maintain such data?
How do we able to validate before starting ETL process with respect to previous load frequency for current load?
How did our forum members handled above situations?
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
RI

If you look at the OWB public function WB_RT_GET_LAST_EXECUTION_TIME you can examine the query OWB uses to return this information. It is based entirely on public views that you should already have synonyms for in your OWB user.
Now, how you want to implement logic to determine if a mapping is run is entirely up to you If you are using process flows you could embed your call to start a mapping in a custom transformation that queries the repository and starts a given mapping if it deems the correct interval to have passed. We do something similar as a means to perform a process flow restart (it will skip over any successfully completed mappings from the last run if the last COMPLETE run did not finish succesfully), so that a restart picks up where the last run failed.
The main caveat I would make to mining the runtime repository is that someone purging old data might very well purge the data you are depending on, so you might want to build a couple of tables to hold your own metadata for you. E.g. one table holding the mapping name and desired interval between loads, and another holding the mapping name and last run date. The second table could get updated by the post-mapping procedure of each mapping.
Anyway, the data IS there in the repository. How you intend to access it or how much you are willing to trust its persistence is up to you.

How to implement "delete" on a table using OWB?

Hi All,
How do I implement a simple delete using OWB?
Assumption:
(1) Table abcd (id number, age number, amt number)
(2) the_number is a variable
(3) the_id is a variable
Want to implement following transformation in OWB?
DELETE FROM ABCD WHERE AMT=0 AND number = the_number AND id = the_id ;
Rgds,
Deepak

We implemented delete mappings, and delete flows to be able to reverse a failed load. This is in my opinion a very sound and valid reason for deleting from a datawarehouse. Also if the need is there it could be used for deleting old superfluous data from the datawarehouse.
There are a few things to consider: closed records in type II should be opened up (post mapping).
Test, test, test.
It is indeed a bit tricky to realize,but certainly working and possible.
steps to take are following:
1) create new mapping
2) drop mapping table where to delete from onto mapping (2 times, 1 source, 1 target)
3) map all fields from source to their corresponding fields in target, except the ones that determine the "where" clause (Refered to as filter fields)
4) Either create a select, or a mapping input parameter which should result in generating the filter-values for your delete.
5) map above step to the filter fields.
6)define a delete mapping by altering target table properties as follows:
6a) Loading Type => Delete
6b) Match by constraint => No constraints
7) set properties each field as folows:
7a) filter fields match column when deleting => Yes
7b) other fields match column when deleting => No
Hope this helps,
