Issue in How-To document "Load flat file using SAPGUI"?

Hi,
I'm having an issue with following lines in the How-To document.
I've a characteristic "CHAR1" which is restricted with multuple values in the planning level.
after the upload using this document, CHAR1 is being loaded incorrect & during my debugging I've noticed that program is changing CHAR1 values while executing following lines of code.
It works fine, if i don't have a restriction for CHAR1 at planning level.
It also works fine, if i restricted CHAR1 with a single value in level.
It's not working as expected, if i restrict CHAR1 with multiple single values.
incase of multiple single values restriction, following is happening.
let's say i load following file & i restricted CHAR1 with values "aaaaa,fffff" in level.
CHAR1 CHAR2 value
aaaaa bbbbb 1000
fffff eeeee 2000
it's being loaded as follows. Program is changing all values of CHAR1 with 1st value of the restricted multiple values and in this case, it is "aaaaa".
CHAR1 CHAR2 value
aaaaa bbbbb 1000
aaaaa eeeee 2000
Has any one encountered the same problem?
Marc,
Could you please comment on this.
>>> INSERT
Set fixed fields
LOOP AT ito_chasel INTO ls_chasel.
READ TABLE ls_chasel-t_charng INTO ls_charng INDEX 1.
IF sy-subrc = 0 AND ls_charng-option = 'EQ'.
ASSIGN COMPONENT ls_chasel-chanm OF STRUCTURE ls_data-s_chas TO <f>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
<f> = ls_charng-low.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
<<< INSERT
Appreciate any help.

Marc,
I still need to keep the lines of coding as I've few characteristics restrictied to single values & one characteristic restricted to multiple single values.
when the coding is commented out, single value restricted characteristics are not getting populated with any value.
I'm counting the table entries "ls_chasel-t_charng" and if entries are 1, then am activating the code. this seems to be working fine. Do you see any problems/issues with this?

Issue in calling webdynpro for loading flat file in IP

Hello,
We have implemented the How-To load flat files in IP paper and we are facing an issue in that. The generated webdynpro runs on ABAP Application server but we need to call this from a Web template which runs on portal server.
These two servers are different and we don't want to hardcode the url in webtemplate as the server names will change in Q & P for webdynpro. Can anyone advise how we can read the ABAP Application server details in WAD may be using javascript and then generate the URL for webdynpro dynamically.
Regards,
Deepti

Can any body help me out on this..

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

Urgent: Problem to load Flat file using DTP.

Hi Experts,
I try to load a flat file PSA->DSO->INFOCUBE using DTP.
I my flatfile in the application server in csv format.
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
If I check the preview: I cant find any data and get the message: Inbound processing of data package 000001 finished
when I try to Load the data thorough PC the load was successfull but only 0 records are transfered and added to PSA:; DSO and Info Cube.
The test file contains around 20 records.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sailekha..
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
Note: As per ur info:
In the Flat file Data source :
1. You have to maintain the Adapter as:
Load Text -Type file from Application Server
Data Format : Separated with Separator
Then Use the "Proposal" Tab to generate the field proposals.
(Only in BI 7.0 this option is available).
After that check the Preview in "Preview" Tab.
Hope it works...

How to load flat file in BPS through Web-debugging

Hi,
We are working on flat file upload in BPS thru guide 'How to load flat file in BPS through Web'. Can some one guide on how to debug the function modules used while uploading the data.
We have set up the break point in the function modules and also in the BSP page. But when trying to debug while uploading, it is not going to the break point which was set.
Could you assist in setting up the break point.
Regards,
Sreenath

Hi,
I have put an external break-point.
I have hard coded it in the coding of the function module itself.
The code is perfectly working. But, when I want to check for the values of the variables in the F.M during runtime, the break-point is not triggering. Any ideas??

Uregnt - How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser

Hello,
We have followed the 'How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser' guide to build BSP web front-end to upload flat file. Everything works great but we have a requirement to populate the Planning Area Variables based on BSP drop down list with values. Does anyone know how to do this? We have the BSP coded with drop down list all we need to do now is populate variables. We can populate the variables through the planning level (hardcoded) but we need to populate them through the web interface.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,
We have acheived the desired result by not too a clean method but it works for us.
What we have done is, we have the link to load file in a page where the variables can be input. The user would then have the option to choose the link to load a file for the layout in that page.
By entering the variable values in the page, we are able to read the variables for the file input directly in the load program.
Maybe this approach might help.

How to load flat file into BW BPS

hi,
how to load flat file into BW BPS ?

How can I load a flat file using a different Work Station

Hi Gurus,
I'm having problems with loading Flat file in our Production Server when it comes to loading a file from another work station. The scenario is all the Info Packages needed are created in oour Dev Server. So the location of the flatfile is already define which is the developer's workstation. Now when the package is transported to the production server any changes to the package is not allowed inlcuding the location of the flatfile needed to be uploaded. Now my question is. is there a way that the location be changed in the production server without adding the package Z_BI because that will mean we can do changes in the production server. Thanks in Advance
- Kit

Directly you can not change the info package settings. You need do change the status of Info package to changeable mode and then do necessary changes.
RSA1 => Click on truck symbol (Object changeability) => select info package => right click => click on Switch changeability.
Now do the changes to your Info Package.
With Regards,
Kishore.

Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

Loading flat files from a server with OWB
I am successful loading files with OWB, as long as they resided on my workstation in the C:\ drive. I copied the files to a Linux server into directories owned by Oracle/oinstall, permissions on the directories containing the files are 777. I ran the OWB client from the server with the following results:

Hi
This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Hi,
For date column you should maintain YYYYMMDD formate Eg: 20090601, kepp cursor on date column and right click and Formate >Custome>make it 00000000 then save teh file as .CSV . First type values on column and do like this formate and save it and without opening it load it. Once you open it you losw 00000000 formate you need to give again the same formate.
Settings in Infopackage:
Data Format = CSV
Data Separator = ,
Escape Sign = ;

Hi Araj,
you can do this 2ways.......
1. Try to create your provider with keyfigure modal(create key figure for period1, kyf period2, ......) & load it.
2. Changes your flatfile to char modal(here you will have one kyf)   .
hope this will help you.
Thanks,
