Import csv with date into HANA

Hi,
I have a table with multiple text columns and one date column in the csv I am trying to import I have the date as YYYY-MM-DD which I thought was the format I needed. Every time I select the csv and the table to import to then press next my whole studio freezes up and I have to do a force close.
I attached the screen where I get to when it freezes. When I take this column out it loads fine.
Can someone tell me the correct format for date to enter it in CSV, or what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Connor

Importing csv with dates

Hi all,
I am importing csv files that contain (among others) two columns with dates into Numbers. The dates are all uniformly formatted by dd.mm.yyyy, which is in Germany the usual date format. However, the import changes them into numbers, e.g.
26.10.2009 becomes 38650
13.11.2009 becomes 38668
So, there seams to be some logic behind, but how can I conveniently get the correct date back?
Thanks for any help.
Best regards.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to change the cell format type to 'date' *after* importing the data, it just remained 'number'.
However, I found a way to work around the problem: Introducing a new column and using there the function EDATE gave me the original date back! The function takes two arguments, the first I let point to the cell with the strange number, the second I let point to an empty cell.
EDATE might not be meant to work that way and this feature is not documented, anyway, it worked for me.

Import CSV/Excel data into Flex Datagrid using Java/JSP

Hi,
Is there any way we can import excel/csv data into flex datagrid component.
I see that is been done using php in this site. http://code.google.com/p/as3xls/
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You can store the list of data from the Excel sheet that you have read already into an ArrayList
Then go through the JDBC tutorial, and learn how to insert a single record into the table.
After you understand how to insert a single record, you can iterate through the ArrayList of data and insert them into the table in the database.
If you know JDBC, see if you can use OR Mapping frameworks like Hibernate or iBatis, they make it very easy to manage database in Java.

Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently are their any data services provided to do this?

1. Is there a way to import large XML files into HANA efficiently?
2. Will it process it node by node or the entire file at a time?
3. Are there any data services provided to do this?
This for a project use case i also have an requirement to process bulk XML files, suggest me to accomplish this task

Hi Patrick,
I am addressing the similar issue. "Getting data from huge XMLs into Hana."
Using Odata services can we handle huge data (i.e create schema/load into Hana) On-the-fly ?
In my scenario,
I get a folder of different complex XML files which are to be loaded into Hana database.
Then I gotta transform & cleanse the data.
Can I use oData services to transform and cleanse the data ?
If so, how can I create oData services dynamically ?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Loading data into HANA DB (using hdbsql client) with Control file.

Hi,
I am working on a Project where the requirement is to load data from a csv file into HANA Database.
I am using HDBSQL, command line client on a windows machine to upload the data into HANA DB on a linux server.
I am able to successfully use the HDBSQL to export the file.
I have the following questions w.r.t to Bulk uploading data from CSV:
Where should the CSV file reside? Can this be in the windows machine or is it mandatory to have in the dropbox location.
Where should the control file reside? Can this be in the windows machine or is it mandatory to have in the dropbox location.
Where will the error file reside in case of errors?
I am new to this and any help is much appreicated.
Thanks,
Shreesha

Hi Shreesha,
Where should the CSV file reside? Can this be in the windows machine or is it mandatory to have in the dropbox location.
Where should the control file reside? Can this be in the windows machine or is it mandatory to have in the dropbox location.
Where will the error file reside in case of errors?
We need to create the DATA,CONTROL and ERROR folders on the linux server on which HANA is installed.( or a server accessible to SAP HANA server )
Hence we need to SFTP the file to HANA server to further load into Table.
Also have a look on the similar requirement on which i worked

Importing COPA data into HANA Studio

Hello-
I am currently trying to import my COPA data into my HANA Studio.
I have extracted the files and I am trying to follow the steps listed here:
https://wiki.wdf.sap.corp/wiki/display/bobjdemo/HowtoimportCOPAdata
Seems easy enough, but I can't decipher the first step: u201C1. Copy copa_export.tar.bz2 file from
idesapps\publicshare\HANA to HANA server /tmp using tools like WinSCPu201D
I downloaded, but could not gain access to WinSCP. What are other tools "like" WinSCP?
Is there an alternate way to import this data without the first step?
Thank you so much.
Truly appreciative,
John

Hi John,
That wiki link doesn't work as it is an internal SAP site.
In any case, WinSCP is a FTP/SFTP file transfer tool. You just need to get that file over to the HANA server somehow. It doesn't really matter what tool you use, as long as it works!
Cheers,
Ethan

Importing non-unicode data into unicode 10gR2 database

Hi:
I will have to import non-unicode data into unicode 10gR2 database. The systems the data is coming from are the following: CODA, Timberline, COMMS, CMS, LIMS. These are all RDBMS, sql-enabled systems. We are talking about pretty big amounts of data (a couple hundred GB combined).
Did anybody go through a similar exersize?
I know I'll have to setup nls_length_semantics to CHAR.
What other recommendations could you guys give?
TIA,
Greg

I think "nls_length_semantics" isn't mandatory at this point, and you must extract a little quantity of information from every source and do some probes injecting them into the Oracle10g database.

GetData() to insert data into HANA

Hi there,
we struggle while using the getData() function to insert data into HANA.
Here is our test coding:
    typedef [
       binary HeaderId;
    Timestamp "Timestamp";
    string SystemType;
       string SystemId;
      | ] ts_Log_Header ;
vector ( ts_Log_Header ) lt_Log_Header ;
                getData( lt_Log_Header,
                          'ServiceHDBANA',
                          'Insert into "SAP_SEC_MON"."sap.secmon.db::Log.LogHeader" values ( ?, ?, ?,? )', WithNullIDs.HeaderId, WithNullIDs."Timestamp", 'PILLE', '');
We see the following error in the console output as well as in the project log file:
Error:
2014-05-23 14:41:46.718 | 6924 | container | [SP-3-100005] (18.299) sp(18744) Error retrieving column 1 value from result set.

The according schema of the table in HANA looks like this:

"Timestamp" LONGDATE CS_LONGDATE,
"SystemType" NVARCHAR(50),
"SystemId" NVARCHAR(5000))
Any help would be appreciated.Or is there any example coding available ?
We´re using ESP SP04 on a windows machine.

Hi,
Create a procedure in HANA that handles the insert, and have it return a dummy record, something similar to this:
HANA Procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE insert_stock (symbol varchar(10), volume integer, price float)
LANGUAGE SQLSCRIPT AS
BEGIN
   INSERT INTO "SYSTEM"."stock" values(symbol, volume, price);
   SELECT ::ROWCOUNT FROM DUMMY;
END
ESP CCL:
CREATE INPUT stream StockStream SCHEMA (symbol string, volume integer, price float);
CREATE Flex stock_flex
   IN StockStream
   OUT OUTPUT STREAM stock_traded SCHEMA(symbol string, volume integer, price float)
   BEGIN
      DECLARE
         /* The typedef must be the same as the return value of the stored procedure.            */
         typedef [integer dummydata;|] datarec;
         /* dummydatarec is a vector variable to store the return value of the stored procedure */
         vector(datarec) dummydatarec;
      END;
      ON StockStream {
         if ( isnull(dummydatarec) ) {
            dummydatarec := new vector(datarec);
         getData(dummydatarec, 'HANAODBCService',
             'CALL "SYSTEM"."INSERT_STOCK" (?,?,?)',
              StockStream.symbol, StockStream.volume, StockStream.price );
         resize(dummydatarec,0);
   END;
Hope that helps!

Need a method for importing Palm III data into a Palm Centro

I just bought a Palm Centro (Verizon), with the expectation of importing data from my old Palm III. From the Palm III Desktop, I exported Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos into separate folders (this was done on a Windows XP PC) and copied the resulting folders & files onto a flash drive. But when I try to import these files into the Palm Centro desktop (on a new Mac Pro with OSX), the backup files are not in a "recognized format." Does anyone have a process for reliably getting the Palm III data into the Palm Centro? Also, is there an easy way to purge unwanted Contacts/Calendar events from the Palm Centro handheld? With all the trial and error, its accumulating a lot of garbage. Thanks...

Click on the following link for the upgrade guide on kb.palm.com

You will need to hard reset the Centro in order to clear out the Centro before sync'ing. Click on the following link for the hard reset procedure.

Replicate APO master table data into HANA db via SLT

Hi,
Can anybody help me on replicating SAP APO master table data into SAP HANA by using SLT.
What is the hardware requirement (Version & Patch) for APO system to communicate with SLT and is it the same methodology to follow while replicating ECC data via SLT to HANA or different.
Please treat it urgent and your suggestions highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ian

Hi Ian,
From replication perspective its follow the same methodology as ECC replication to HANA.
You have to install DMIS 2011 component on your APO system to communicate with SLT.
For more details you can refer SAP note: 1759156

Import CSV, Edit Data, Export CSV

Hello,
I am a powershell novice and have been given a task to complete. I need to scan through AD, find all of the servers that are supposed to be active, "ping" them and, if active, get their IP address and verify that a number of services are running.
Once all of the data is collected, I need to write all of this out to a .CSV file. So far, what I have is this:
Using Import-Module ActiveDirectory, I am able to get the full list of servers with appropriate information and export that to a CSV
I import the CSV file above back in and create new headers (columns) for more information
The full list of servers are pinged individually. If pingable, I get the IP address and service information needed
Where I am stuck is writing all of this back out to a .CSV file. Right now, I am just writing the information back out to the screen for verification. I'm sure it's something small, but being a novice I'm not sure where to go. Any help?

Here is the full code. The Write-Host statements are just for me during the testing to see if the information is correct. The last statement was what I tried to write the information out, but it came up empty and I really haven't found a way to get it to
work.

Import Non-SAP data into BW

Please help with following query on Extracting the non-sap Data into BW.Please advice the full documentation on Loading,Transforming,Reporting for NON-SAP data into BW .
Essentially, the Third party tool provides a matrix for maximizing either profit or revenue (volume) for each loan product offering depending upon the bank's goals. For example, at the car dealership, the salesman inputs the price of car, the loan term, your FICO score, income etc and the tool calculates an interest rate for your loan based upon the bank's goals at the time. The tool has a Java front end and C++ on the back
Will assign points on reply and appreciate your help

Ashley
There are different ways of doing this. One way is down load third party data into Flat file and then upload into BW using flat file extraction.
Other option is load data using DB connect. please see this link for DB connect

Import PowerPoint with animations into Captivate 4 ?

Can anyone let me know if it is possible to import a PowerPoint presentation into Captivate 4 AND keep all the PowerPoint animations exactly as created in the original PowerPoint ?
If this is not possible, what are the options ?
Thanks in advance,
Noel

Hi Noel
I think the PowerPoint to Captivate conversion is a mixed bag. Mostly, I believe folks will be disappointed with the process.
Certain animations seem to survive the conversion and others seem to fail. But the bottom line here is that we are taking a file created by a Microsoft application, sucking it into an Adobe application and expecting the result to work without a hitch. And I'm not sure how often we will see this work flawlessly. I mean, it's not unlike removing an engine from a Fiat and expecting it to seamlessly bolt up and work in a Volvo. There will be stumbling blocks.
To be honest, I'm amazed it works as well as it does.
The only way I'm aware of to create a Captivate that behaves exactly as the PowerPoint behaves is to present the PowerPoint show in a window. Then use Captivate to surround the window and record it using FMR as the PowerPoint does its thing. Any other way is likely going to result in having to fudge things here and there and tweak them to make them work as desired. Possibly even re-creating things here and there in Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

How to synchronize, link or import Outlook calender data into Primavera R8.3 Ressource Calender??

Hello together,
we are currently looking for a way to import MS Outlook calendar data into our Primavera P6 R8.3 Application. The only information I found was an Oracle Document (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17462_01/Web_Access/Help/en/Outlook/outlook_how_to.htm).
Any ideas, workaround or tool tips would be appreciated.
