How to load several transformation files with a single action

Hi everybody,
We are loading data from BI cube into BPC cube. We are working on SAP BPC 7.0 version and we have designed several transformation files in order to load each key figure we need.
Now, we want to load all the transformation files executing only one action. Which one is the best way to do it?
We thought that it would be possible to build a single process chain, where we would call the target cube and all the transformation files. In this way, the administrator only has to execute once a package that would execute the process chain. We don't want the administrator to execute several times a package looking for the different transformation files.
How can we do it? Is there any example or document related to it?
Any idea out there?
Kind regards
Albert Mas

How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?

Hi!
To load unicode data files with fixed records lengths (in terms of charachters and not of bytes!) using SQL*Loader manually, I found two ways:
Alternative 1: one record per row
SQL*Loader control file example (without POSITION, since POSITION always refers to bytes!)<br>
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
INFILE unicode.dat

Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
* How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
* How to suppress the POSITION definition?
* How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi Carsten
If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.

How to load a flat file with lot of records

Hi,
I am trying to load a flat file with hundreds of records into an apps table. when i create the process and deploy it onto the console it asks for an input in an html form. why does it ask for an input when i have specified the input file directory in my process? is there any way around tis where in it just reads all the records from the flat file directly??is custom queues anyway related to what I am about to do?any documents on this process will be greatly appreciated.If any one can help me on this it will be great. thank you guys....

After deploying it, do you see if it is active and the status is on from the BPEL console BPEL Process tab? It should not come up to ask for input unless you are clicking it from the Dashboard tab. Do not click it from the Dashboard. Instead you should put some files into the input driectory. Wait few seconds you should see the instances of the BPEL process is created and start to process the files asynchrously.

How to cretae two flat file with a single program

Hi All,
I am trying to creating to two files on the application server using the open data set and close data.
lets say the first file is file1 and second file is file2. but when i go to the Tcode AL11 and check the file only second file is appears there.
its may be coz i m using two times this open data and close data in my program.
can u tell help me howz these two file is appears on the application server i.e AL11.
its very urgent pls help me.
Thanks!
Vipin

Hi Do one thing,
Start ur program in debugging mode complete first open data set and close data set and then go and chekc whehter the file got created or not and also check the sy-subrc values when u r doing ur open data set.
if the first file is not done then no file will be in AL11 including ur new file name.
In this way you can find whether the file got created or not.
check that u r giving differnet file names fifferently otherwise it will be keep on overwriting the existing one.

How can we load a flat file with very, very long lines into a table?

Hello:
We have to load a flat file with OWB. The problem is that each of the lines in the file might be up to 30.000 characters long (up to 1.000 units of information in each line, 30 characters long each)
Of course, our mapping should insert these units of information as independent rows in a table (1.000 rows, in our example).
We do not know how to go about it. We usually load flat files using table functions, but we am not sure that they will be able to cope with these huge lines. And how should we pivot those lines? Will the Pivot operator do the trick? Or maybe we should pivot those lines outside the database before loading them?
We are a bit lost. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards

Yes, well, we could define a 1.000 column external table, and then map those 1.000 columns to the Pivot operator… perhaps it would work. But we have been investigating a little bit, and we think that we have found a better solution: there is a unix utility called “fold”. This utility can split our 30.000 character lines in 1.000 lines, 30 characters long each: just what we needed. Then we can load the resulting file using an external table.
We think this is a much better solution that handling 1.000 columns in the external table and in the Pivot operator.
Thanks for your help.

How to read several text files at a time

Dear all
Read and write one text file is not a problem, but what confusies me is how to read several text files at one time, in the meanwhile,
is it possible to display the name of the text file?
For example, assuming I want to load file" cha 1, cha 2 , cha 3, " at one time and show their names, how to hadle with it
I have reviewed some files and it is not helpful

Either with a 'for' loop like in the lib you have attached, or like this attached VI

Combine several XML files with same structure

Hello,
I have several XML files with the same structure and I want to combine them and create a new XML file to be bale to compare that information easily. It does not look very difficult but as I am very new in this I am not bale to get it
The structure of my actual files would be something simlar to:
Root->...-> Name->Address, Telephone
And what I would like to have si something like
Root->.... ->Address-> Name 1,Name 2....
Root -> ...->Telephone-> Name 1, Name 2....
Does anyone know how to do this.
Thanks

You could write a XSL transformation file that does this and transform your input file via
     * Transform XML file with a style sheet.
     * <p><b>Example:</b><p>
<table align="center" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" border=1 cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><pre style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">
XMLTransformer t = new XMLTransformer();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Project/result.html");
String xmlFile = "C:/Project/source.xml";
String styleSheet = "C:/Project/stylesheet.xsl";
t.transform(xmlFile, styleSheet, fos);
</pre></td></tr></table>
     * @param xmlfile The XML file to transform.
     * @param style Stylesheet to use for transformation.
     * @param outputStream OutputStream to write the transformed result to.
    public void transform(String xmlfile, String style, OutputStream outputStream) {
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        //factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
        //factory.setValidating(true);
            //todo: use inputstreams instead of file names
            try {
                File stylesheet = new File(style);
                File datafile   = new File(xmlfile);
                DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                document = builder.parse(datafile);
                // Use a Transformer for output
            TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            StreamSource stylesource = new StreamSource(stylesheet);
            Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(stylesource);
            DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
            StreamResult sr = new StreamResult(outputStream);
            transformer.transform(source, sr);
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
           // Error generated by the parser
           System.out.println ("\n**XMLTransformerr Factory error");
           System.out.println("   " + tce.getMessage() );
           // Use the contained exception, if any

           // Error generated by the parser
           System.out.println ("\n** Transformation error");
           System.out.println("   " + te.getMessage() );
           // Use the contained exception, if any
           Throwable x = te;
           if (te.getException() != null) {
               x = te.getException();
           x.printStackTrace();
         } catch (SAXException sxe) {

Load one text file with 12 periods' data into 12 different periods at once?

Hi guys,
In one swoop, can we load one .txt file with 12 periods of data into 12 different periods?
The scenario:
Budget data is required for monthly comparative reporting with actuals, so we have 12 periods in our Budget version.
From a non-SAP system we get one .txt file containing 12 periods worth of budget data,
- it is in the correct format (and we don't want to create risk by opening and editing it) so it is loaded into each period and the other 11 periods of irrelevant data are obviously ignored.
Some extra tasks (such as validation, cashflow calculations) are then performed per period.
Because this has to be repeated 12 times, this can be a time consuming process
We now have multiperiod monitor functionality (from EHP2) and I see how it works for the automatic tasks (very well).
I'm aware that the guide says that manual tasks will be ignored during the automatic run, this is true.
However, if I remember correctly EC-CS used to allow it with upoad files, so i was expecting it in BCS 6.02
- is there anyway to load a file containing 12 periods worth of data into 12 individual periods in all at once?
(NB we still have an improvement to the previous situation, the user can scroll between periods more quickly and load the file 12 times, then go back to the start and run all auto tasks at once)..
One thought was to use a file server location with a hardcoded filename but his would require work beyond my expertise.
All suggestions welcome

Hi
I wil suggest mapping the path based on a common location is the best way and then map the same logically in the Upload method
If you are using Citrix then it becomes all the more easy to have a commmon location

Loading several flat files

I want to load several flat files each week with the same rules file. The files are for instance week12.txt, week13.txt etc. The files are all in the same directory, and need to be loaded each time. Is it possible to use a wildcard with ESSCMD, or MaxL to create a simple loadscript? Or does anybody know another way to load several files?

If you are using a Win OS, you could use a VBS to write a script. Call the VBS in a DOS batch file, then execute the newly created script. Note, In this example, I didn't fully build the IMPORT command. Additionally, I would add some form of error handling and logging.Const sDataPath = "c:\Files"Dim fso, oFolder, oFiles, oFile, oScriptSet fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")Set oFolder = fso.GetFolder(sDataPath)Set oFiles = oFolder.FilesSet oScript = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\script.scr" ,2, False)oScript.WriteLine "LOGIN " & CHR(34) & "ASPEN" & CHR(34) & " " & CHR(34) & "ADMIN" & CHR(34) & " " & CHR(34) & "PASSWORD" & CHR(34) & ";"oScript.WriteLine "SELECT " & CHR(34) & "SAMPLE" & CHR(34) & " " & CHR(34) & "SAMPLE" & CHR(34) & ";"For Each oFile In oFiles oScript.WriteLine " IMPORT 3 " & CHR(34) & oFile.Name & CHR(34) & ";"NextoScript.WriteLine "LOGOUT;"oScript.WriteLine "EXIT;"oScript.CloseSet oFolder = NothingSet oFiles = NothingSet oScript = NothingSet fso = Nothing

How to load a Jar file in the class path?

How to load a Jar file which contains class files, images, etc.. in the classpath without using URLClassLoader.

You don't "load" jars. If it's on the classpath, you can obtain individual resources from it using various methods on either Class or ClassLoader. Do you mean "how to add a jar to the classpath at runtime"? Can't be done without using a classloader, typically URLClassLoader or a subclass thereof. Why you want to not use the proven method is beyond me. Presumably because you don't understand classloading. In which case, forget it.

How to Load 2 library files using System.loadLibrary in one .java file!!!

Hello,
Someone please help me. What I am trying to do is load two .DLL files in my program. Program works fine when I
do the following way i.e. I have two .java files and in each I am loading one .DLL file. But I don't want to have
two .java files I want to load both the .DLL files in one program.
**************** Example.java **********
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Example
public native int A(String in);
static
System.loadLibrary( "API2" );
public static void main( String args[])
     Ex ex = new Ex();
     int r;
     r = ex.A("TEST");
public Example()
*****************Ex.java*****************
public class exsysml
public native int A(String in);
public exsysml()
System.loadLibrary("API3");
The above way works. But I need only one .java file to load both the .DLL files. i.e.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Example
public native int A(String in);
static
System.loadLibrary( "API2" );
System.loadLibrary( "API3" );
public static void main( String args[])
     Example ex = new Example();
     int r;
     r = ex.A("TEST");
public Example()
but when I do this way it doesn't work and I get a UnSatisfiedLinkage Error at ex.A("TEST"). While doing the top way it works.
How can I fix this to just have one .java file and load both the library files as done in the bottom program but doing this program doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

what I figured out so far is that we can only load one library file in a single class and define all the native methods present in that library in the class where we are loading it. Means we can't load multiple library files in a single class. It's just my thought else if someone provides a better solution. I may be wrong so that's why I need your help.
Thanks
