Infopackage Flat File load is failing to hierarchy after upgrade to 7.4

Hi Experts,
   My system got upgraded to 7.4 and SP level 0007. After Up-gradation my hierarchy load through Flat file is failing with short dump. Please find the dump details below.
Information on where terminated
    The termination occurred in ABAP program "SAPLRSSM", in
     "RSSM_CALL_RSAR_DATA_REQUEST_1". The main program
    was "RSAWBN_START".
    In the source code, the termination point is in line 5713 of (Include)
    program "LRSSMU17".
Did any one faced the same issue.Could any one givesome light on this.
Thanks in advance,
Sony.

Hello Sony,
I faced the same problem. I found out that in table RSLDPIO the entry for my Info Package had no entry for the field "source". In there must be the Info Object name the hierarchie belongs to. It can be entered using se80. After I typed it in, loading succeded.

Transformation not generating-Flat file loading

Hello guys, I hope you can help me with this little confusion I have on BI7 Flat file loading.
I got a File (CSV) on my workstation. I am trying to load Master Data. Here is the example of my file and issues:
Lets say, I have CSV file named "CarModel.CSV" on my PC.
This excel file has 10 Records and No atributes for this Field.
So the records should show like this and it is showing correctly in PSA level, DS level.
A
B
C
D
E
F
My goal is to load Flat file data to InfoObject (inserted in Infoprovider)
I created Source system, DS, all thats stuffs.
I am now on Display DS screen under Proposal Tab. I am putting 10 Records to show and hitting Load example data....it works fine by showing all 10 records. However in the bottom part of this screen, what should show as a Field ?In my case , First it was showing the First Record ("A")...i didnt think it was correct but i prceeded anyways. Transformation could not be generated.
I tried by deleting "1" from the field "No. of header rows to be ignored" and its the same result ..No transformations.. I mean i know its very simple to load this data but i am not sure what i am doing wrong..My question is:
1) What should show under Field/propasal tab in my case?am i supposed to create this Field?
2) Should the system to propse the field which is from my flat file header ?in my case i dont have any header..should i have include header in my csv file like "car model"? i am confused please give me some info thanks
dk

Hi,
In filed tab, u have to enter ur infoobject names in an order...and press enter it'll automatically give the description and its other factors...
i guess u shuld have some header in the sense eg: customer,cust ID like this..this only u have to enter as fields...in proposal tab...try that
rgds,

Best practise around handling time dependency for flat file loads

Hi folks,
This is a fairly common situation - handling time dependency for flat file loads. Please can anyone share their experience around handling this. One common approach is to handle the time validity changes within the flat file where it is easily changeable by the user but then again is prone to input errors by the user. Another would be to handle this via a DSO. Possibly, also have this data entered directly in BI using IP planning layouts. There is a IP planning function that allows for loading flat file data but then again, it only works without the time dependency factor.
It would be great to hear thoughts or if anyone can point to a best practise document for such a scenario.
Thanks.

Unit Code, Commercial Code - Flat File loading vs BPS Loading

Hi SDN Community,
Recently, we have moved our flat file loading to be performed by BPS interfaces.
During flat file loads, the Commercial code of all units of measures, are verified.
eg.DAY
But when loaded by BPS, the UNIT code is verified.
eg. TAG.
In the display of the BPS upload, it displays DAY which is the commercial code.
The only thing, is the customer is forced to use TAG in the BPS upload files.
They wish to create another record in the transaction
CUNI to be
Unit code = DAY
Commercial code = DAY.
However, i have found that we cannot allocate the same commercial code to another unit code.
Is this a design constraint, or a process error that i am doing.
Thank you.
Simon

Dear customer,
As i do not fully understand how this works, but the base table T006A
has 2 entries, 1 for english, 1 for German, should it not be that the
English EN entry field be working rather that the German DE, hence DAY
should be used? Can you please confirm my understanding on this?
>>> If you check my attachment "SE16.xls", you can see that it's for
language >>English<<, and the internal format is TAG while the external
format is DAY.
- Are there any plans to modify the BPS functionality in newer SAP BW
versions to allow the customer to indicate the same UOM as per flat
file laods? Or is an upgraded Support Pack that allows this?
- If not, would it be possible to make any customer enhancements to
allow this to take place depending on customer requirements.
>>> There is no plan at this moment to change this BPS functionality
in newer SAP BW versions or support packages.
We really recommend you to use internal format TAG in the upload file
in BPS which I think should be acceptable and feasible to you. All
other ways trying to use external format is risky and we cannot assure
you that it will work well as it's not SAP standard function. (I think
it's not worth the risk as the standard function which requires
internal format should not be too unacceptable)
Thanks for your understanding.
I also don't think my BC-SRV-ASF-UOM colleague would be able to help
you a lot regarding this.

Hierarchy from flat file loading with errors - duplicate node names

Hello experts,
I am loading a product hierarchy from a flat file into a custom hierarchy
object. The issue is that it errors out saying I am loading
duplicates within nodes, however all node IDs within a level are unique.
It seems to be looking at the node name to determine uniqueness and I know
we have some duplication within the text there especially when you factor
in the 32 character limitation for the node name. Does anyone have an idea
as to whether it is possible to have it only consider the node ID instead
of the node name to determine uniqueness?
A colleague suggested using the link ID to fix this problem but I don't know how that field works or how to populate it.
I'm working in a BI 7.0 environment (I don't know if that makes a difference since you still have to use the 3.x objects to extract the hierarchy).
Any help would be appreciated.
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
You may wish to check this OSS Note 1026749 - Hierarchies: Consistency check for duplicate nodes and 912115 (old one)
Symptom -
When you load or activate a hierarchy it terminates with error message RH 109 or RH 211. The hierarchy contains duplicate nodes and this is not allowed. The long texts of messages RH 109 or RH 211 do not describe the reason for the problem sufficiently or they are partially incorrect.
There is uncertainty about in which cases duplicate nodes exist in a hierarchy and in which cases duplicate nodes are allowed.
Hope this helps,
Bye...

Flat File loading into Hierarchy

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to load a hierarchy from a flat file. I am not able to do it successfully.
I have a small doubt. Do we need to load the master data into the master data table before loading the hierarchy?
Explanation:
I have an info object zcountry and i had added zzone and zstate as external characteristics in hierarchy. the hierarchy structure should be country with 2 nodes zone1,zone2 and zone one should have 2 states under it as nodes. In this case do I need to maintain the master data in the infoobjects before loading the hierarchies with flat file.?
<b>Node ID     InfoObject     Node Name     Link     Parent ID     Language     Short-Txt     Medium-Txt     Long-Txt</b>
1;     zcountry;     CountryNode;          0;     en;     CountryNode;     CountryNode;     CountryNode;
2;     zzone1;     SouthZone;          1;     en;     SouthZoneNode;     SouthZoneNode;     SouthZoneNode;
3;     zstate;     AndhraPradesh;          2;     en;     AndhraPradesh;     AndhraPradesh;     AndhraPradesh;
4     zstate     Karnataka          2     en     Karnataka     Karnataka     Karnataka
5     zzone1     NorthZone          1     en     NorthZoneNode     NorthZoneNode     NorthZoneNode
6     zstate     Haryana          5     en     Haryana     Haryana     Haryana
7     zstate     Rajastan          5     en     Rajastan     Rajastan     Rajastan
This is how the flat file looks like.
Kindly give me a solution.

Data loading mechanism for flat file loads for hierrarchy

Hi all,
We have a custom hierarchy which is getting data from a flat file that is stored in the central server and that gets data from MDM through XI. Now if we delete few records in MDM, the data picked in BI will not consist of the records which are deleted. Does it mean that the hierarchy itself deletes the data it consists of already and does a full load or does it mean every time we load the data to the BI, do weu delete the records from the tables in BI and reload?
Also we have some Web Service(gets loaded from XI) text data sources.
Is the logic about updating the hierrarchy records different as compared to the existing web service interfaces?
Can anyone please tell me the mechanism behind these data loads and differentiate the same for above mentioned data loads?

create the ODS with the correct keys. And load full loads from the flat files. You can have a cube pulling data from the ODS.
Load data in ODS
Create the cube.
Generate export datasource ( rsa1 > rt clk the ods > generate export Datasource )
Replicate the export ds ( rsa1 > source system > ds overview > search the ds starting with 8 + the ODS name
press the '+' button activate the transfer rules and comm str
create the update rules for the cube with the above infource ( same as '8ODSNAME' Datasource )
create infopackage with intial load (in the update tab)
Now load data to cube
Now load new full loads to ODS
create a new infopackage for delta (in the update tab)
run in infopackage. (any changes / new records will be loaded to cube)
Regards,

Error while creating process chain for flat file loading

Hi All,
I had Created a process Chain to load Transactiion data(Full load) form flat file which is in my computer.
start>Load>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE--> Create Index
but the system is throwing an error as "An upload from the client workstation in the background is not possible."
I dont know why this error is coming?
Can some one help me
Regards
Mamta

Hi Mamta,
Basically if you want to load the DS through FF using process chain, the FF has to be placed in Application server. We cant load the FF when it is located in the client local workstation(FF On your PC).
So better you remove the Infopackage step from the PC. Load the IP manually. Once it is completed you can start the process chain with the following steps:
start>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE> Create Index
Hope it is clear & helpful!

Issue with flat file loading timing out

Hello
I have a scenario, where I am loading a flat file with 65k records into a cube. The problem is, in the loading process, I have to look up the 0Material table which has a million records.
I do have an internal table in the program, where I select a subset of the Material table ie around 20k to 30k records. But my extraction process takes more than 1 1/2 hrs and is failing (timed out).
How can i address this issue? I tried building indexes on the Material table and its not helping.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Unfortunately, this is BW 3.5, so there is no END routine option here. And I tried both .csv and notepad file methods, and both are creating problems for us.
This is the total code, do you guyz see any potential issues:
Start Routine (main code)
refresh i_oldmats.
refresh ZI_MATL.
data: wa_datapak type transfer_structure.
loop at datapak into wa_datapak. (** I collect all the old material numbers from my flat file into an internal table i_oldmats**)
   i_oldmats-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL = wa_datapak-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL.
   collect i_oldmats.
endloop.
sort i_oldmats.
SELECT /BIC/ZZOLDMATL MATERIAL (** ZI_MATL only has recs. where old materials exist, this gets about 300k records out of 1M**)
         FROM /BI0/PMATERIAL
         INTO ZI_MATL FOR ALL
         ENTRIES in i_oldmats WHERE
          /BIC/ZZOLDMATL = i_oldmats-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL .
            collect    ZI_MATL.
Endselect.
Sort ZI_MATL.
Transfer rule routine (main code)
IF TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATERIAL = 'NA'.
    READ TABLE ZI_MATL INTO ZW_MATL
    WITH KEY /BIC/ZZOLDMATL = TRAN_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL
    BINARY SEARCH.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      RESULT = ZW_MATL-MATERIAL.
    ENDIF.
ELSE.
    RESULT = TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATERIAL.
ENDIF.

Urgent: Flat file load issue

Hi Guru's,
Doing loading in data target ODS via flat file, problem is that flat files shows date field values correct of 8 characters but when we do preview it shows 7 characters and loading is not going through.
Anyone knows where the problem is why in the preview screen it shows 7 characters of date when flat file has 8 characters.
Thanks
MK

Hi Bhanu,
How do i check if conversion is specified or not and another thing is it is not just one field we have 6 date fields and all of them are showing 7 characters in PSA after loading where as flat file have 8 characters in all of the 6 date fields.
In PSA I checked the error message it shows 2 error messages:
First Error message:
The value '1# ' from field /BIC/ZACTDAYS is not convertible into the
DDIC data type QUAN of the InfoObject in data record 7 . The field
content could not be transferred into the communication structure
format.
em Response
The data to be loaded has a data error or field /BIC/ZACTDAYS in the
transfer structure is not mapped to a suitable InfoObject.
The conversion of the transfer structure to the communication structure
was terminated. The processing of data records with errors was continued
in accordance with the settings in error handling for the InfoPackage
(tab page: Update Parameters).
Check the data conformity of your data source in the source system.
On the 'Assignment IOBJ - Field' tab page in the transfer rules, check
the InfoObject-field assignment for transfer-structure field
/BIC/ZACTDAYS .
If the data was temporarily saved in the PSA, you can also check the
received data for consistency in the PSA.
If the data is available and is correct in the source system and in the
PSA, you can activate debugging in the transfer rules by using update
simulation on the Detail   tab page in the monitor. This enables you to
perform an error analysis for the transfer rules. You need experience of
ABAP to do this.
2nd Error Message:
Diagnosis
The transfer program attempted to execute an invalid arithmetic
    operation.
System Response
Processing was terminated, and indicated as incorrect. You can carry out
    the update again any time you choose.
Procedure
1. Check that the data is accurate.
-   In particular, check that the data types, and lengths of the
            transferred data, agree with the definitions of the InfoSource,
            and that fixed values and routines defined in the transfer rules
-   The error may have arisen because you didn't specify the
         existing headers.
2. If necessary, correct the data error and start processing again.
Thanks
