Above is just a sample.
Thanks,

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,

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 = ;

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

Interface used in loading flat file data into bw

what is the interface used in loading flat files into the bw system.

HI Flat file load is its own interface. It leverages the S-API (Service API), the standard interface that is used to load data in the BI system.

Escape sign loading flat file

Hi all.
I am working in BW 3.5 and trying to load a flat file in to my ODS. Everything thing seems to work fine with one exception.
If I have a file such as: 05, 12345, "Masters Inc.", 98765
I can load this fine because I have set my data separator as , (comma) and my escape sign as " (quote).
So my third column shows Masters Inc.
My understanding is that the escape sign is there in case a data separator shows up legitimately as a part of the data. So I expect that the system recognizes the beginning quote and the end quote and places all the data between them in the third column.
For example: 05, 12345, "Masters, Inc.", 98765
In this case, the comma would show up in the third column as a part of the data and not as a data separator. So my third column should be Masters, Inc.
My problem is that what shows up in the third column of my ODS and in the preview is: Masters, Inc.", 98765
And my fourth column is blank...because the third column is showing everything after the first quote is hit.
Anyone have ideas on why it is doing this? Or is my understanding of the escape sign incorrect?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I have figured out the problem (thanks to some of your answers). Turns out that if there is a space after the escape sign in the flat file, then SAP does not recognize the escape sign at all. I simply deleted the space after my quote and it worked fine.
Thanks for all your help.

Time taken to upload a flat file in SAP BI

Hello Experts,
Want to know , about how much time it will generally take to upload a flat file in SAP BI having data volume near about 10 million .
OR what is standard time taken to upload the data from a flat file what ever be the size of the the flat file in terms of records ,
please provide me the detaild information regarding the time taken , plz clarify it , and thanks in advance

Hi,
there are some other points that you need to consider while trying to evaluate your question:
- how wide is your file/how many columns it has?
- what's the type of interface you using for flat file upload? is it: flat file loaded from user workstation? from application server? from web interface (like planning app)?
- how complex is login used to transform the data from flat file before data is saved in BW objects?
In general 10mil of records is not a problem is not a problem if you using upload from application server. If you using load from user workstation thsi can be an issue. Even less performant is load of that much data via web interface.

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 Subrat ,
u can upload the data either ( Master /Transaction) data with the help of lsmw. for that all u need to do is go through the lsmw and do it. in that u can go Batch input recording/ BAPI/ IDOC any of that. here i am sending the LSMW Notes go through it and do the work.
once u create the LSMW project then u can ask the data from user or u can explain the user about the program and can run the flat file to upload the data.
if u require LSMW material Just send me blank mail from u. my mail id is [email protected]

Build daily Big flat file using SAP R/3 material master data

Hi all,
I must build an interface between SAP R/3 4.7 and an external application
Daily a flat file must be generated contaning Material data in full exchange mode
(volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo)
No complex mapping, only format mapping (Ex : Price quantity...)
I don't know yet if I will use Idocs or BAPI to extract data. However, I'm sure I must use multiple inbound messages because of volume
After reading documentation, I consider the both following solutions to manage it :
1) A simple asynchronous interface with a file adapter in construction mode APPEND to build flat file progressively with arrival of SAP messages
=>
viable solution ?
Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
(idocs or bapi data will be processed ones following the others )
2) BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
(Unlimited Loop with Deadline trigger correspondint to time I must build flat file)
=>
Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Which solution do you advise ?
Is there another ?
Last question : (more general one)
In such scenario, I can't see XI-value added comparing a creation of flat file directly with R/3.
I will generate a big number of idocs, use a big part of XI memory ...
Can you give me your opinion about it ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean-Charles,
>>>volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo
You have a performance task...
>>>Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
No, the adapter framework has its own queueing, the message would be stored and executed later. If sequence is important, you can use EOIO as well.
>>>BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
BPM is not required in your case, you should avoid becoz of performance task. You can append at file adapter, no problem. Bundling and splitting is even possible at Integration Server without BPM.
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Avoid using BAD words
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
