Load of hierarchies from R/3 via flat file: how to generate that flat file?

Hello,
I need to build a custom extractor for a hierarchy. The hierarchy exists in R/3, but there's no standard datasource to extract it. I know I can upload it via flat file, but I have a question related to this.
Does anyone know if there's a program (standard or custom by SAP) or function module in R/3 which allows me to generate that flat file, with the required format by BW?
I would appreciate very much any help about this topic
Thanks in advance
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
if there is, I'd love to get hold of it.
I have only ever managed this by extracting the relevant data into Excel and then doing a long series of VLOOKUPS to establish parent and child ids.
I have a sample spreadsheet I can send you if you like.
Regards,
Mike

In CO-PA there is a way to generate Hierarchy Extractors (see Note 422175 for more details). With a Custom Program you generate a specific DataSource.
Hope it helps

Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC. Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later" Have tried that but get the same result. Can anyone assist?

Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC.
Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later"
Have tried that but get the same result.
Remedies I've tried are:
wait and try again
reboot
reload iTunes
NB hp is a relatively new machine and has previously backed up quite happily.
Can anyone assist?

RHoodnkt-
Try rebooting the iPad. Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. It takes a minute or two to restart.
Also be sure your iPad battery is not completely discharged.

HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

SSIS creates empty flat fie, how to avoid that?

I have a simple SSIS data export package - Data Flow task which takes data from db table and puts it in a flat file.
SQL Agent is used to run this SSIS data export package every 2 minutes.
Sometimes table is empty, does not have new rows that's why
1 - empty file is being created
2 - SQL Agent gave an error: The step did not generate any output. The return value was unknown. The process exit code was -1073741819. The step failed.,00:00:02,0,0,,,,0
I placed a "Execute SQL Task" step to count rows in the source table and
disable Data Flow task
if user::count==0 - this still creates an empty file.
Is there a proven workaround to use count variable and actually
disable Data Flow task and avoid creating empty flat file???
Are there any specific rules in setting up "result name" in "SQL Task" "result set" where you map Result Name and Variable Name?
Should it be column name, like "count" for select count(abc) as
count from TABLE
Thank you in advance!

Question about Precedence Constraint - should this work?
In control flow:
1st task
"Execute SQL Task" step to count rows in the source table
Next - Precedence Constraints - Expression - @[User::count]==0 (what should happen
with 2nd task if expression condition is met?)
2nd task: Data Flow which actually exports data from db and puts it into flat file.
In this scenario empty file is still being created...is there something wrong with my Precedence
Constraints - Expression - @[User::count]==0?
Brba,
Yes, there are 2 methods:
method1
Have the sql inside a execute sql task and obtain the rowcount into a variable. if the rowcount is greater than 0 then proceed to data flow task which will then execute sql
again and push data into flat file.
So you may set the precedence of the flow from Execute Sql task to Data flow task as an expression as :
@[User::Count]>0
i.e., only if its greater than zero, will the control even reach the DFT.
MEthod2
Similar method using @count variable. Have a data flow task followed by a file system task.
Inside the DFT, have the Rowcount transformation between the source and destination that would obtin rowcount into @count variable.
Now similar to above method, set precedence of the path (connnecting DFT and File System task) as expression such that @[User::Count] <=0 . So if rowcount IS zero, will reach FST - wherein you may program as DELETE FILE and select connection as flatfile
conenction manager itself.

Jay

You can fetch all the relevant data from variuos tables and then use GUI_Download into a text file.

How to generate an XML file from SSIS (based on an XSD)?

I have an XSD that describes an XML format. I also have a sample XML file as well from the XSD. I am trying to understand SSIS's capability to generate the XML file in an ETL process. I would need to create the XML file based on the XSD that
I have. It is safe to assume that all the data elements are in the DB that I am incorporating in the ETL and it is also safe to assume that the data in the XML may be from multiple different tables (so massaging is probably necessary).
Would this be a job for C#/VB or can I do this through an SSIS process/task? Please help me understand my options. Thanks.

Dear All,
Indeed the post by RamJaddu did not answer the question. I am having the same issue: I have been provided an .xsd file which contains a data schema, and I have all of the necessary
data in a .mdf file in order to create the required .xml file. Having queried SQL Server and received my data in "myDataSet" I can use C# to create the .xml ignoring the schema using
string strSchemaFile = @"F:\Documents\UserCost\VictorianDataCollection\VCDCSchema_v2.xsd";
string strXmlFile = "testXmlExport.xml";
myDataSet.WriteXmlSchema(strSchemaFile);
myDataSet.WriteXml(strXmlFile, XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema);
but how do I export the .xml file so that is conforms with the .xsd format?
If any of you have worked this out the answer would be most appreciated.
All the best,
Nick

How to generate individual HTML files from linked help?

Hi folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to generate individual web pages - based on heading types - from a help project this is linked to a FrameMaker book.
I'm linking to the FM book, rather than importing, because the import process ruins my graphics. So, I know how to create individual web help pages using the import process; but that's not an option for me. (The graphics issue is a whole other discussion, which I've since given up on.)
So, I'm using TCS 3.5 (RH9 and FM10). I've successfully linked to the FM book. Each topic represents a complete chapter and includes a single Heading 1 for the title and several Heading 2's. Again, these are all in the same help topic because I'm linked to the FM book.
What I want to do is generate the web help so that new web pages (files) are created. In other words, I want breaks before each Heading 2. I want the resulting web pages to be named based on the Heading 2.
Is this possible?
Thanks for reading,
Tom

I’m not sure I understand the problem (I’m using FM 10, RH9, TCS3): You can adjust .isf and all Conversion/CSS mapping, etc settings for an existing project (Linked or Imported) at:
File > Project Settings > FrameMaker Document > Edit Conversion settings for FrameMaker documents: (click Edit button).
Then, Go to FrameMaker Settings > Paragraph > Heading 1 etc. and click the box for Pagination.
What I don’t know is if you have to re-do your linking process from scratch to do your pagination settings right the first time (like create a new project with your Frame docs, which shouldn’t be hard to test if you have saved your CSS, Master Pages etc), or already have an .isf file with proper settings that you can specify at time of first import/linking. I already had these in place when I set up my linked project of a Frame book with 13 chapters – 350 pages – resulting in over 300 separate HTML files/topics (set H1, H2, and H3 levels to paginate). I don’t know if you can change these things post-linking, but it can definitely be done!
There is definitely no reason to have to have an entire FM chapter as one topic in RH. You may have to create a new project to achieve your desired results, I am not sure.
I hope this is helpful. Regarding RH ruining your images, I know what you mean. Through a painstaking process of research, trial, and error, I found that these Image options in the Conversion Settings produced the best results for me, though not as good as “ideal:”
·         Check the box for “Use Distiller to Generate Image”
·         Leave the “Do Not Regenerate Images” and “Preserve 3D Images” boxes unchecked
·         Under Preferred Dimensions: Check “Maintain Aspect Ratio” and check Width and Height – Set both to 0pt. (*This one was a key tip.) Leave “Scale” unchecked. (Scaling seems to do terrible things in RH.)
·         I left the Max Dimensions settings unchecked.
·         Set my personal preferences for margins (2pt all sides) and borders (solid, gray, 1 pt)
·         Under Advanced, Default format of PNG with color bit depth of 24. My graphics are all screenshots, so this is the reason for this in my instance.
