InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

BW Experts,
I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

Hi Nagesh,
Thanks for helping out.
If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
(red icon) Request No.147515
0 Data Records
Runtime 1 sec.
(red icon)Run No. 1
0 Data Records

Request 147515 was terminated before extraction RSBO 326

If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.
Please help.

InfoSpoke Flat File Extract to Logical Filename

I'm trying to extract data from an ODS to a flat file. So far, I've found that the InfoSpoke must write to the application server for large data volume. Also, in order for the InfoSpoke to transport properly, I must use logical filenames. I've attempted to implement the custom class and append structure as defined in the SAP document "How To... Extract Data with OPEN HUB to a Customer Defined Logical Filename". I'm getting an error when attempting to import the included transports (custom class code). It appears to be a syntax error. Has anyone encountered this, and, if so, how did you fix it?

Hello.
I'm getting a syntax error also. I did not import the transport, but applied the notes thru the appendix. When I modified the method "GET_OBJECT_REF_INT" in class CL_RSB_DEST as below, I get a syntax error on the "create object" statement.
    when rsbo_c_desttype_int-file_applsrv.
*{   REPLACE        &$&$&$&$                                          1
*\      data: l_r_file_applsrv type ref to cl_rsb_file_applsrv.
      data: l_r_file_applsrv type ref to zcl_rsb_file_logical.
*}   REPLACE
      create object l_r_file_applsrv
        exporting i_dest    = n_dest
                  i_objvers = i_objvers
Class CL_RSB_DEST,Method GET_OBJECT_REF_INT
The obligatory parameter "I_S_VDEST" had no value assigned to it.

Infospoke - How to single Logical Filename for all infospokes

Hello all,
I want to only have one logical path and logical filename for all of my infospokes.
For example if I have infospokes ZAAA, ZBBB, ZCCC, I want to have only one common setting in the destination properties of TC:RSBO but three different distinguishable files on my OS.
I think with the standard settings, I have to make one logical file for every infospoke I have.
I am aware that I can put <DATE> or <TIME> etc in the logical file settings but that will not distinguish which infospoke the file came from.
I want my file to look more like <INFOSPOKE>_<DATE><TIME>.csv
I've already seen the document "How to Extract Data with OPEN HUB to a Logical Filename" and this is not it because I have BW3.5 and 3.5 already does what this article says.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just in case, I am on BW3.5 SP17 on Windows/SQL.

Jasprit,
Thanks for your input.
The functionality of the FM you said is similar to the InfoSpoke functionality...
Is it the same thing?
I wonder if I use this it means it is not part of the InfoSpoke license...
I will have our programer look at it and see what he thinks but in the mean time any other information is greatly appreciated. Especially if I can stick with using the standard InfoSpoke functionality...
Isn't this kind of functionality something that everyone wants?
I wonder why SAP didn't make it like this?

Fields missing in Oracles tables created by Infospokes

Hi S.A.P Gurus!
My problem is as follows:
We have created Infopokes with Oracle table as destination.
Even though, the transport to other systems is correct, and the infospoke have all the fields, when we execute it, some fields are missing in the destination (oracle table), and they should appear.
Does anyone know what we could do to avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards.

Hi Raul,
Was just going through your thread ..and found that you were able to transfer the data to the oracle table.
I am aslo working on infospoke where I have to transfer the data from my Infoobject to a table in Oracle.
For that i have created a infospoke and executed it to get the data in the another tabel in sap.
The problem is that I dnt know how to move the data from this table in SAP to oracle table . Did u used any interface for this or any kind of ABAP programming that you have done.
Please suggest how this can be implemented.
I have open up a thread for this InfoSpokes InfoSpokes

Error while extracting data from ODS using Infospokes - URGENT

Hi all,
I am extracting data from an ODS using infospokes and nothing fancy, no selection criteria but I am getting an error message saying
Syntax error in row3(-> long text) Msg id = "RG" and msgno is 102
Any ideas on how I can see what is the exact error and how to debug this?
thanks
Sabrina.

Hi Sabrina
service.sap.com can help you getting the details of your mesg.
I found one OSS note suitable to your mesg. So just check out OSS note # 671097. I hope this note will be some help to you. If not go and chk in the OSS you can find some more.
Here is the note details also
<i>Symptom
Error message RG102: 'Syntax error in &1, row &2 (-> long text)' appears in the request log of an InfoSpoke.
Reason and Prerequisites
The data source is an ODS object and the extraction mode is 'delta'. The cause of the error message is that the ODS extractor is unable to select the request ID (InfoObject 0REQUID) from the change log of the ODS object. However, the request ID is mistakenly provided in the field list of the ODS object on the InfoSpoke maintenance screen. --
Solution
Delete the 0REQUID InfoObject from the field list of the InfoSpoke and activate the InfoSpoke. As of the patch mentioned below, the request ID in the template tab is no longer provided.
BW 3.0B
Import Support Package 16 for 3.0B (BW3.0B Patch 17 or SAPKW30B16) into your BW system. The Support Package will be available once note 571699 with the short text "SAPBWNews BW 3.0B Support Package 16", which describes this Support Package in more detail, has been released for customers.

Hi,
Check in metadata repository for that infoObject.
If you are still not able to identify, goto RSBO tx and press F4.
You will get the list of Infospokes available.
Go in each and chk from the General Tab, if the infoObject is available in the source system.

Error while extracting ODS data using Infospoke

Hello Gurus,
I am not able to extract any ODS data using Infospoke. Let me describe the step by step process:
I have created one infospoke for ODS data and i am selecting a 'File' option in the destination tab of infospoke. We are trying to land this file over to BW Server (on the default directory DIR_HOME). When I start executing the Infospoke in a dialog mode, I am getting the following error in the monitor screen:
- Editing or Reading of data packet cancelled
- System Error: RSDRC/FORM AUTHORITY_CHECK
- Extraction Cube: Error in DataManager API
- Cancelled.
I can see two files created on BW Server in the Transaction screen AL 11. But the data file is empty.
Does anyone know, why is doing this?
Is there any authorization restriction, for extracting this transaction data? (I checked my profile and I have all the authorization granted)
Is there any directory size related restriction, which prevents to extract and land this data over to default DIR?
I am able to extract the Master Data files but not ODS data. Why is that?
any idea or step by step procedure will be highly appreciated.
Points will be assign to helpful answer(s).
thanks in advance.

BI 7.0 infospoke - how to change standard destination path on appl. server

Hello,
I have the following problem:
I need to extract large amounts of data from infocubes to flatfiles. I have created an infospoke to do this. However, in this infospoke, the destination path, when I choose application server, is fixed.
In BW 3.x, there is a document "BW 3.1 Open Hub Extraction Enhancement Using Literal Filename and Path.pdf" that describes how to change the destination path for the application server.
This solution does not work for BI 7.0, I get short dumps, probably due to ABAP OO.
I need to extract the data to flat files on the application server, not on my local machine, nor into a table in SAP itself, so I need to change the destination path, because the amount of free storage is limited in the standard destination path.
Has anyone encountered this problem in BI 7.0 and solved it?
best regards
Ting

Sorry, wrong subforum, will close this

Hi Ting.
I never had a simmilar problem but, if you go to your InfoSpoke, right click --> "Change" you can see (and change... ) the following values:
Destination Type: FILE (the one you have choosen)
Application Server: Check Box (I think this is your setting)
Server name: (BW server)
Type of File Name: (Here you can choose Between "File Name" or "Logical File Name")
Appl.Server File N: "MY_FILE.CSV" (for example)
Directory: (The directory you want - take a look at the end of this post )
Separator: (The field separator)
Note : If you are working with Linux or Unix you have to look if the BW system user has the corresponding rigths to write in the FileSystem.
.          In the beginning I advice you to use something like this /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<XX>/work
Hope it helps.

How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

Logical path creation for an InfoSpoke

Hi,
I have an InfoSpoke for which I need to create a Logical Path. All I know is it involves some commands in MSDOS may be. Could anyone please let me know the procedure for the same?
Thanks.

Hi Bobs,
         Go to File trnx -> drill down the Logical File Path Definition -> Clcik on "Create a logical file path" in middle of the screen ->
Then it will prompt for details of logical path you want to create
EX: you can specify in the same lines as give below
Logical path        ZXXXXXXXXXX
Name                 Description of ZXXXXXXXXX
Syntax group      UNIX     Unix compatible
Physical path     /ABC/XYZ/<FILENAME>
ZXXXXXXXXX is the logical path you want to create
/ABC/XYZ/<FILENAME> -> /ABC/XYZ/ is the physical path in your server where your files will stored. dont forget to give filename within <> as shown above.
Just save after that
Regards
Sunil

In InfoSpoke logical path made generic across landscapes

Hi all,
I am creating an InfoSpoke in 3.5, wherein I am using logical file/Path to store the file generated on application server.
My path is something like this
/interface/CCD/BWD/outbound.. (Where BWD is development server)
When I will transport this to quality (Say BWQ), i want my path to be
/interface/CCQ/BWQ/outbound..
I am using <SYSID> variable to replace BWD part of the path. When it will be transported in Quality variable <SYSID> will contain BWQ.
My question is what system variable i can use to replace CCD in the path? Or how can I create a new variable to replace CCD in path so that in Quality it will be CCQ?

I never used profile parameters.
I looked at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/c4/3a6247505211d189550000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
It explains that no server should have to be restarted (as you also expect), so i don't get the problem.
Maybe a question for the technical guys?
