Please can any one help me i have shared and given full permission to access the .CSV file.Move the file to the database server.
Or use your client application (whatever it is) to read in the file.

Translating Excel query into flat file(.CSV)

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need the Excel Queries to be displayed in Flat file(.CSV) format.
To be more clear i have an excel query but my client requires this query to be displayed in a Flat file format. Can someone explain me how i can acheive this.
Thanks

Hi All,
Thanks for all the information provided by i missed mentioning one point, actually thse queries are to be automatically schedule. the requirement is like this i need to bring to extract data and build queries export it as a .CSV file these queries are not end user queries so they have to be automatically scheduled and will be picked up by an interface so they do some mapping with the .CSV file we provide.
So we decided to do it in Reporting Agent in Excel format and automate it and send the file to a specific location from where the Interface team can pick it. which doesnt need an user to run the query.
so can someone tell me if i can automate a query and as well as have the query in .CSV format?? I hope i was clear
Thanks.

Loading of flat file (csv) into PSA – no data loaded

Hi BW-gurus,
We have an issue regarding loading a flat file (csv) into PSA using an infopackage u2013 (BI 7.0)
The infopackage has been used for a while. Prior the consultants with SAP_ALL-profile have run the infopackage. Now we want a few super users to run the infopackage.
We have created a role for the super users, including authorization objects:
Data Warehousing objects: S_RS_ADMWB
Activity: 03, 16, 23, 63, 66
Data Warehousing Workbench obj: INFOAREA, INFOOBJECT, INFOPACKAG, MONITOR, SOURCESYS, WORKBENCH
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 datasource (version > BW 3.x): S_RS_DS
Activity: All
Datasource: All
Subobject for New DataSource: All
Sourcesystem: FILE
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 infosource (flex update): S_RS_ISOUR
Activity: Display, Maintain, Request
Application Component: All
InfoSource: All
InfoSource Subobject: All values
As mentioned, the infopackage in question, has been used by consultants with SAP_ALL-profile for some time, and been working just fine. When the super users with the new role are executing the infopackage, the records are found, but not loaded into PSA. The load seems to be stuck, but no error message occurs. The file we are trying to load contains only 15 records.
Details monitor:
Overall status: Missing messages or warnings (yellow)
Requests (messages): Everything ok (green)
-> Data request arranged (green)
-> Confirmed with: OK (green)
Extraction (messages): Errors occurred (yellow)
-> Data request received (green)
-> Data selection scheduled (green)
-> 15 Records sent (0 Records received) (yellow)
-> Data selection ended (green)
Transfer (IDocs and TRFC): Missing messages (yellow)
Processing (data packet): Warnings received (yellow)

     -> Inbound processing (0 records): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Update PSA (0 Records posted): Missing messages (yellow)
     -> Processing end: Missing messages (yellow)
Have we forgotten something? Any assistance will be highly appreciated!

Hi,
Try to use the transaction ST01 to trace the authorization of the upload with the SAP_ALL.
And the enhance your Profile for the super user.

Extract work order data from r/3 system in flat file(csv)and export to BI

Hi,
I am new in interface.
I need to extract data regarding actual cost and quantities of work assigned to Service Providers from SAP system and send it to BI for reporting purposes.
This interface will extract Master data as well as transactional data. Extraction of Master data will be a full extract and that of transactional data will be Delta Extraction.
Custom development will extract the data from different fields and will export it to flat files (CSV format). This program will amalgamate all the flat files created into one big file and export it to BI system.
Export of data to BI system will be done by schedule program Control M, which will export the data from SAP system to BI system in batches. Control M is expected to run daily at night.
Please provide the step-by-step proces to do this.
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
you've got to set up the message type MDMRECEIPT for the Idoc distribution from R/3 to XI. Check chapter 5.2 in the IT configuration guide available on <a href="http://service.sap.com/installmdm">MDM Documentation Center</a>. It describes the necessary steps.

Is it possible to read archive files outside of SAP?

Hi Experts,
I would like to read SAP archived data (*.ARCHIVE.ARCHIVING) with non-SAP application. I already know, that data is automatically compressed (and maybe encrypted?).
My question: Is there some possibility to read archive files outside of SAP? I suppose that would be needed to do some decompress first.
Your help is appreciated. Thank you!
Jan

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. I found some points with your hint. Some summary for others:
460620 - Migrating archive files:
"Archived data may have to be migrated. One solution is to perform an SLO service archive migration. You can also perform an archive migration for archive files using the Archive Development Kit (ADK)."
153433 - Access to archived data from other logical systems
"For data security reasons, the ADK checks whether an archive file was created in the same system and client where it is to be read. If the client, system or file key do no longer correspond to the meta data that were valid at the time of archiving, you can no longer always access the archive file, particularly for reloading. If only the system ID changes when a new installation due to a system copy is carried out, read accesses are still possible. No solution is provided in the standard system. The access to archive files from other logical systems must be taken into account and carried out in a migration project."
Unfortunately, I still do not know if it is possible to read archived data outside of SAP.
Best Regards,
Jan

Is it possible to read the file using File Adapter which is in client machi

Is it possible to read the file using file Adapter which is in client machine(on the same network).Then what is thee need of FTP Adapter?

You can achieve that by exposing your client machine as a drive, then you can go using file adapter.
FTP adapter will help you to communicate with different machine which is in different network.
It is considered good etiquette to reward answerers with points (as "helpful" - 5 pts - or "correct" - 10pts).

Creating flat files (.csv) in user defined directory using PL/SQL

I need to extract data into a flat file (.csv) and store the flat file directly into a directory on local drive as specified by the user at runtime. I do not intend to use the UTL_FILE package. Is there a way put to do this?
Thanks
Amit.

Hi Amit,
Your users have any shared drive which every one can access? If so follow these steps.
1> Allow users to select their destination location to an APEX item.
2> On submit, save the user IP, destination location and user name to a database table.
3> On submit, using JS, open XLS file template (+kept this template file in shared location+) The template should contain all the macros that will do the needful. I mean they should connect to database and should fill it with data and saving it to user specified location etc.
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Hari

Error while loading table from flat file (.csv)

I have a flat file which i am loading into a Target Table in Oracle Warehouse Builder. It uses SQL Loader Internally to load the data from flat file, I am facing an issue. Please find the following error ( This is an extract from the error log generated)
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (D:\MY CURRENT PROJECTS\GEIP-IHSS-Santa Clara\CDI-OWB\Source_Systems\Acquisition.csv)
SQL*Loader-552: insufficient privilege to open file
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The data is invalid.
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
I believe that this is related to SQL * Loader error.
ACtually the flat file resides in my system ( D:\MY CURRENT PROJECTS\GEIP-IHSS-Santa Clara\CDI-OWB\Source_Systems\Acquisition.csv). I am connecting to a oracle server.
Please suggest
Is it required that i need to place the flat file in Oracle Server System ??
Regards,
Ashoka BL

Hi
I am getting an error as well which is similar to that described above except that I get
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (/u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
The difference is that Ashoka was getting
SQL*Loader-552: insufficient privilege to open file
and I get
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
The initial thought is that the file does not exist in the directory specified or I have spelt the filename incorrectly it but this has been checked and double checked. The unix directory also has permission to read and write.
Also in the error message is
Control File: C:\u21\oracle\owb_staging\WHITEST\source_depot\INV_LOAD_LABEL_INVENTORY.ctl
Character Set WE8MSWIN1252 specified for all input.
Data File: /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv
Bad File: C:\u21\oracle\owb_staging\WHITEST\source_depot\Durham_Inventory_Labels.bad
As can be seen from the above it seems to be trying to create the ctl and bad file on my c drive instead of on the server in the same directory as the .csv file. The location is registered to the server directory /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot
I am at a lost as this works fine in development and I have just promoted all the development work to a systest environment using OMBPlus.
The directory structure in development is the same as systest except that the data file is /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITED/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv and everything works fine - .ctl and .bad created in the same directory and the data sucessfully loads into a oracle table.
Have I missed a setting in OWB during the promotion to systest or is there something wrong in the way the repository in the systest database is setup?
The systest and development databases are on the same box.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Edwin

Flat file (csv) to oracle database - get dictionary data from oracle table

Hello,
I need to develop following scenario. I have flat csv file with some data, for example:
City;Address;Name
In oracle schema, there is table where data from imported csv should be written. Also, in the same schema, there is table named CityDictrionary. After ODI loads each row from csv, it should translate text representation of City to numerric ID got from CityDictionary table. And this numeric value should be placed to destination table, instead of direct text value from csv.
What is the simplest way to accomplish this task? Can you provide any tips?

You can achieve this easily with a single ODI interface. The flat file and the CityDictionary tables are your sources. Identify the field on the CityDictionary table and the corresponding field on the flat file that will be used to join the data sets (e.g. the city name). Create a join between the sources using these fields. Because you're using a flat file as one of your sources, the join logic will have to be performed on either the staging or the target.
The target is your destination table, and you should map the ID from the CityDictionary table to the appropriate field in the target, as well as any other required fields from the flat file.
This type of interface is a fairly typical method of populating a normalized table.
Alternatively, you can use a lookup - see the following blog for an example. In your case, the flat file will be your source and the CityDictionary table will be used for the lookup.
