Load and Delete Flat file

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to delete a Flat file after loading using any program? The flat file is in application server.
thanks,
DV

DV -
There are two ways to delete files in application server.
1) To use Os Commands in process chain you should know some unix commands, I am not good in UNIX.
2)You can use ABAP programs also to delete files in Application server. Please go through the following links.

Using a server side package to copy and delete flat files.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to copy or delete flat files using comands issued from within a PL/SQL program unit on the server. I know of the package UTL_FILE for the reading and writing of flat files.

Malcolm,
if you use 8i, you can create a Java class to do that for you, and call one of it's metohds from PL/SQL, see http://www.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/00-Mar/o20java.html

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)

Loading Pipe delmiter flat file with ',' (comma)

Hi Guys,
I have a field which contains ',' as its value. The value is 0315A Mgr, Cust Service for a infoobject called ZJOB_TIT.
Also, I have wrote the following code in field routine since previously this field was throwing hexadecimal errors and the load is through flat file.
DATA: v_gpurqtrnr TYPE /BIC/OIZJOB_TIT.
MOVE SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZJOB_TIT TO v_gpurqtrnr.
TRANSLATE v_gpurqtrnr TO UPPER CASE.
IF v_gpurqtrnr CN
',<>?/{}[]\|;:"''ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!@#$%^&*()_-+=123456789~` .'
RESULT = space.
ELSE.
RESULT = v_gpurqtrnr.
ENDIF.
After loading the data, in preview of PSA - everything looks fine. Field ZJOB_TIT shows to have the value 0315A Mgr, Cust Service. But when I load to the cube - I get blank for the same field.
I am not sure what more i can do to eradicate this problem.

Hi
PSA is the data before under going your tranformation or field routine. so you are able to see the data in that field . Now as per the code which you have written above it will surely be deleting all the characteristics which you have given under '.......' . Modify your code to eliminate only the comma and not the alpha numberic values.

Loading data from flat file...

Hello,
I am actually experiencing a problem where I cant load data from a flat file into a table. I have actually reverse engineered the flat file into ODI. But the thing is I don't know how to load the data that is reversed into a RDBMS table. Added, I don't know how create this RDBMS table form within ODI to be reflected on the DB. Added, don't know how to load the data from the flat file onto this table without having to add the columns in order to map between the flat file and the table.
In conclusion, I need to know how to create an RDBMS table from within ODI on the database. And how to automatically map the flat file to the DB table and load the data into the DB table.
Regards,
Hossam

Hi Hossam,
We can used ODI procedure to create table in the DB.
Make sure you keep the column name in the table name same as the column name in FLAT FILE so that it can automatically map the column.
and regarding Loading data from FLAT File i.e. our source table is FLAT FILE till ODI 10.1.3.4 we need to manually insert the datastore since the file system cannot be reversed.
Please let me know Hossam if i can assis you further.
Thanks and Regards,
Andy

Help with loading infocube from flat file

Hi:
I am using SCM 5.1 and the BI 7.0 component that comes with it. I am trying to create an infocube and load it with flat file data but getting errors.
1. First I created the infoobjects and the infocube.
2.a I first tried to create only the data source and activate the datasource. This was not successful.
2.b I then tried to create the application component, infosource etc. (like one does in BW 3.0) but was still not successful.
If you have any pointers, could you please let me know? Thanks.

I am loading hierarachy through flat file but facing problem

i am loading hierarachy through flat file but facing problem when creating infopackage still error coming please suggest details what are steps followed

Hi,
Follow the steps:
     Hierachy through flat file
     First create a flat file save as in .CSV format. Then close the file.
       Create info area in info object then info object catalog opens then create it then info object screen opens then another screen opens were you will give data type, length then select option hierarchy tab, then select it simply select the check box with hierarchies.
        Select attribute tab in that name, age, address, phone then activate it then come back to the main screen then select characters right click a small screen open then select info object then a small screen opens then create sales region and activate it.
     Then return back to the main screen then click characters right click on it then a small window opens then select info object option & create sales office and activate it.
     Then return to the main screen then select characters then the ID then the double click on it then the other screen opens select hierarchy tab then select external chars in hierarchies then click on it then other screen opens then select find tab then give the sales region info object name and click continue then it finds the name.
     The name would be scroll on the other screen then the office should be find the same way as region then office would be scroll on the other screen then continue and activate it.
     Then come back to the main screen then go to info source option then it opens then create application component then it opens other screen then click continue it
     Then create info source for master data then select direct update option there give the name of the info object of as ex; YID_AS2 then click continue.
     Then the YID_AS@ could be seen in the main screen then right click on it. Then a small option opens then click assign data source option then other screen opens there it gives the empty space double click on it then PC file then click continue then another window opens click continue then again screen opens click continue again a pop up screen opens click continue.
     Then another screen opens there the attribute data source then activate it then select hierarchy activate it then the left side data structure/ hierarchy then click on it then it opens another screen then click hire maintenance button .
     Then give the hierarchy name (your wish) then go with continue then yes then save then go back to the main screen.
     Then maintain the flat file as node id, info object, node name, link name, parent no.
     Then info package creation then click on the flat file right clicks on it then a other screen opens then select attribute data source and then continue.
        Then other screen opens then select external data tab in .CSV then click 1 the enter preview then another screen opens then click then it shows the preview then schedule then start then monitor click on it then it opens other screen then click on the master data then we can see the data then go back to the main screen.
     Then select the flat file right click on it then it gives other screen then select hierarchy in that then click continue then it opens other screen then select hierarchy selection tab there you can see the file name then select the button of hierarchy.
     Then select External data then the file name in CSV then processing tab only psa option with update subsequently in data targets then the update it schedule start then the monitor then go to the main screen.
     Then go to info object then select the file id which you have given then double click on it then select hierarchy or text file then the contents then execute it.
     Create a transaction table , cube in a normal way. We can see the result in reports we have to give the hierarchy name in the properties of rows where we drag the characteristics id then we can see the records which we have entered man usally after executing the report.

Loading data from flat file to ODS

Hi Experts,
I have a developed a report, in which Flat file is the datasource and data target as DSO.
Here I have one requriment to Increatment the counter value in TVARVC table after every load compleate.
Can this be done thru Process chain? I belive this can be done thru process chain by creating variable.
If this can be done thru Process chains can any experts send me sample examples code.
Thanks In Advance.
Sreedhar.M

Hi sridhar,
     We have a similar scenario in which we will load data from flat file to datasource the file name (x_20081010.dat) of such format being fetched from the low value of the TVARVC table ... once successfully executed we had program to increment the value of low which increments by one day adn the next day the file with that will be placed in the application server...
    U can create a abap program varaint and attribute for that and u can achieve that.... this is sample code which searches for the string and after some coding i.e once ur file has been loaded successful code u can write similar code to increment or counter values which u are asking for...
search s_tvarvc-low for '20'.
        if sy-subrc ne 0.
          sy-msgty = 'E'.
          sy-msgid = 'ZWM1'.
          sy-msgno = '000'.
          sy-msgv1 = 'Unable to find DATE to increment'.
          raise unable_increment.
        else.
          w_date = s_tvarvc-low+sy-fdpos(08).
          w_nextdate = w_date + 1.
          replace w_date with w_nextdate into s_tvarvc-low.
          modify tvarvc from s_tvarvc.
        endif.

Loading Hierarchies using flat file

Hi experts,
I have requirement to load hierarchies using flat file.
I have to create hier on Person Responsible, sub nodes are Sales Office, Project Definition, Project Type and Project Definition Description. I have file, i need to load into BW.
I dont know much about hier loading, can you tell me what are the Attributes to be inserted and how to prepare the hier loading file which contains HIENM, VERSION, HCLASS, DATEFROM and DATETO.
I dont know these fields are enough to load my hier.
I have created one hier, when i try to activate it's giving error like ' no data exists'.
Can anyone tell me how to prepare file to load into hierarchy?
Thanks in advance,
Venky

Hi Venkatesh,
There are several formats to load a hierarchy via file. The following two are the commonly used formats.
1) Default
Node ID                     NODEID
InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
Node Name     NODENAME
Link Name     LINK
HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
Language Key     LANGU
Description - Short     TXTSH
Description - Medium     TXTMD
Description - Long     TXTLG
2) Sorted
Node ID                     NODEID
InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
Node Name     NODENAME
Link Name     LINK
HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
First Subnode     CHILDID
Next Node Along     NEXTID
Language Key     LANGU
Description - Short     TXTSH
Description - Medium     TXTMD
Description - Long     TXTLG
If Default format is used, the sequence of node IDs appeared in the flat file determines the structure of the hierarchy. Whereas the sorted hierarchy format defines the structure via PARENTID, CHILDID, NEXTID relationship.
You make the selection in DataSource/Tran.Structure tab of InfoSource Page by clicking on the "Hier. Structure button.
Good luck!

Loading data from flat file to table

Hi,
I am using OWB 10g R2. I have to develop a map which loads data from flat file to table.
1. I have created a .csv file.
2. Import that into OWB by Module Wizard.
3. I have created one external table, which use the .csv file.
After that what I have to do for successfully loading the data into table.
Regards,
Sanjoy

Hi Sanjoy
You can building a mapping to move the data from somewhere to somewhere else. More specifically;
1. create a mapping
2. add external table to mapping
3. add table to mapping for target (it can be unbound)
4. map from external table ingroup to target table ingroup (all columns will be mapped)
5. if target table was unbound right click on target table and click create and bind
This is a basic mapping you can have for this scenario. There is a post here which does something like this, but it will create a File to Table mapping which will use SQLLoader.

My hard driver is apparently full - but it is full of "other" files. I have cleared downloads and removed my music and pictures, but it still thinks it is full - how do I access and delete the files?

I am having real trouble with the mac book air and i dont know what to do. It thinks it is full, i get warning messages every day, but when i check how the storage is being used it is 45.79 GB of "other" and I can't work out where to locate and delete these files. I have removed all my music and pictures, there are nearly no documents on the bloody thing, i have cleared the downloads, I have run a cc cleaner programme but nothing seems to touch this "other" amount. Its so annoying as it is getting to a point where i can't use the computer properly anymore. Do you have any clue what it could be or how i can deal with it?
It did this last year but not as bad, i never solved it then i just removed all my own files but now "other" is taking that space too. On a windows computer you would be able to click through and view what was taking up the space but you can't seem to do that on a mac. could it be a virus that makes the hard driver think it is full?
Any ideas what I can do?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Can we load and unload the files in the run time?

Can we load and unload the files in the run time?
For example there are four files named "test1.h & test1.c" and another set "test2.h & test2.c" (I attached them as attachment to this post).
test1.h contains code:
int variable; //variable declared as integer
test1.c contains code:
variable = 1; //variable assigned a value
test1.h contains code:
char *variable; //variable declared as string
test1.c contains code:
variable = "EXAMPLE"; //variable assigned a string
So here, in this case can I dynamically load / unload the first & second group of files so that the same variable name "variable" can be used both as integer and string? And if yes, how is that to be done?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What do you mean by "dynamically"?
If you want to have a variable that either is an int or a char in the same program run, I'm afraid your only option is to define it as a variant and assign from time to time the proper data type in the variant according to some condition. Next, every time you access the variable you must firstly check which data type is stored in it, next access it in the proper way.
If on the other hand your option or to have a run in which the variable is an int, next you stop the program and in a following run it is a char, you may have it by using some appropriade preprocessor clause:
#ifdef CHAR_TYPE
#include "test1.h"; // variable defined as a char
#else
#include "test2.h"; // variable defined as int
#endif
Next, every time you want to access the variable you must proceed in the same vay:
#ifdef CHAR_TYPE
variable = "string";
#else
variable = 1;
#endif
Does it worth the effort?
Additionally, keep in mind that this "dynamical" approach can work only in the IDE, where you can properly #define your CHAR_TYPE or not depending on your wishes: when you compile the program, it will have only one #include depending on the definition of the macro.
