Loading data for heirarchies from flat file.

Hi,
I am trying to load heirarchies from a flat file. I am getting the error "Error during the calculation at the node level".
I am not able to get the reason.I am also scpetical about this
1.Is it necessary that the external characterics whic are used in heirarchy should already contain data?
2.Should we create a root node before loading the data? Or will it create everything itself during the loading.
3. Should this heirarchies be created directly on the productive system.
regards
Mandha

200            2           20080520 30
I inserted the Customer in Key Fields and Material & Calday & Price in Data Fields. First records were loaded successfully to ODS. Second time I changed the first record to below
Customer    Material   Calday     Price
100             1 20080519             40
But it is not loaded to ODS. It is giving the following error msg.
Error while inserting data records for data package 1 (see long text)
Data records already saved in the active table
Technical key: 00005069 / 00000001 / 00000001
Process 000001 returned with errors
So plz give me solution how to load data ODS.

Hi,
If you haven't set the delta mode, then initialize the IP and then run a Delta load from next.
Hope this solve the issue.

Load to ODS failed from flat file

Hi Gurus,
We have 4 flat files to be loaded in the ODS.And this ODS is giving the data as an delta to upper ODS. 3 got loaded correctly.But the 4th load was taking too much time.In RSMO request was Yellow for a long time.After some time Request became Red giving an error as follows.
Processing in Warehouse timed out; processing steps mising
Diagnosis
Processing the request in the BW system is taking a long time and the processing step Update rules has still not been executed.
System response
<DS:DE.RSCALLER>Caller is still missing.
Procedure
Check in the process overview in the BW system whether processes are running in the BW system under the background user.
If this is not the case, check the short dump overview in the BW system.
Can anyone explain me what is the meaning of this error ?
As a corrective action., I tried to reconstruct the request from PSA, but reconstruction also failed.But the PC turned to GREEN and got completed.i.e. Data Mart Status set for these 3 requests.
Now this request is showing status as RED in the Manage Tab And it has 3 successfully loaded requests above it.
I want to have this 4th request to get updated in lower ODS and also delta to be pushed in to upper ODS.
Kindly tell me what should I do?

Hi,
Go to Details tab in monitoring.
Just check for any packages are in yellow.
If any package i yellow then right click and take the Update manually option for that package only.
Or else you have to delete the request from the target and make the request in to red in monitor under Status tab.
Now you can try to load the data.
This is because of IDocs not processed successfully.

Venkat

Help Required regding: Validation on Data Loading from Flat File

Hi Experts,
I need u r help in the following issue.
I need to validated the transactional data loading to the GL Cube from Flat file,
1) The transactional data to the Cube to be loaded only if master data record exists for the 0GL_ACCOUNT info object.
2) If the master data record does not exits then the record need to be skipped from the loading and after the loading the system should throw a message saying that these many records have been skipped (if there are any skipped records.).
I would really appriciate u r help and suggestions on solving this issue.
Regds

Hi, write a start routine in transfer rules like this.
DATA: l_s_datapak_line type TRANSFER_STRUCTURE,
 l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int,
 l_s_glaccount type /BI0/PGLACCOUNT,
 new_datapak type tab_transtru.
 refresh new_datapak.
 loop at datapak into l_s_datapak_line.
 select single * from /BI0/PGLACCOUNT into l_s_glaccount
 where CHRT_ACCTS eq l_s_datapak_line-field name in transfer structure/datsource for CHRT_ACCTS
and GL_ACCOUNT eq l_s_datapak_line-field name in transfer structure/datsource for GL_ACCOUNT
and OBJVERS eq 'A'.
 if sy-subrc eq 0.
 append l_s_datapak_line to new_datapak.
 endif.
 endloop.
 datapak = new_datapak.
 if datapak[] is initial.
abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
 ABORT = 4.
 else.
 ABORT = 0.
 endif.
i have already some modifications but U can slightly change it to suit your need.

Error in loading data from flat file....

Hi,
While loading the data from flat file , only one column is getting populated in the ODS and after that the sixth column is getting populated with the null values. Also when I save the changes in CSV file .. its not getting saved.
Could you please tell me what could be the probable reason for this.
Also what are the points we should keep in mind while loading from flat files.
Regards,
Jeetu

Hi,
You need to take care of -
1. you flat file structure ( left to right columns) should match with the datasource ( top to down) column to column. if you don't wish to laod some column, leave it as blank column in flat file.
2. your file should not be open when loading data
3. make sure your transfer rules & update rules are defined properly.
4. do the simulation in infopakage first & that will give you fair idea.
5. to start with load data first in PSA Only, check & then take it forward.
hope it helps

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 data into infocube in bi 7.0 from flat file.

Hello All,
I need the complete procedure for loading data into the infocube from flat file in bi 7.0 i.e.using transformation,DTP etc.
Please help me with some gud documents.

Hi Pratighya,
Step by step procedure for loading data from flat file.
1. Create the infoobjects you might need in BI
2. Create your target infoprovider
3. . Create a source system
4. Create a datasource
5. Create and configure an Infopackage that will bring your records to the PSA
6. Create a transformation from the datasource to the Infoprovider
7. Create a Data Transfer Process (DTP) from the datasource to the Infoprovider
8. Schedule the infopackage
9. Once succesful, run the DTP

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.

Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5

Hi Experts,
                   Kindly give me the detailed steps with screens about Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5
       ...............Please

Hi ,
Procedure
You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the DataSource tree.
       1.      Select the application components in which you want to create the DataSource and choose Create DataSource.
       2.      On the next screen, enter a technical name for the DataSource, select the type of DataSource and choose Copy.
The DataSource maintenance screen appears.
       3.      Go to the General tab page.
                            a.      Enter descriptions for the DataSource (short, medium, long).
                            b.      As required, specify whether the DataSource builds an initial non-cumulative and can return duplicate data records within a request.
                            c.      Specify whether you want to generate the PSA for the DataSource in the character format. If the PSA is not typed it is not generated in a typed structure but is generated with character-like fields of type CHAR only.
Use this option if conversion during loading causes problems, for example, because there is no appropriate conversion routine, or if the source cannot guarantee that data is loaded with the correct data type.
In this case, after you have activated the DataSource you can load data into the PSA and correct it there.
       4.      Go to the Extraction tab page.
                            a.      Define the delta process for the DataSource.
                            b.      Specify whether you want the DataSource to support direct access to data.
                            c.      Real-time data acquisition is not supported for data transfer from files.
                            d.      Select the adapter for the data transfer. You can load text files or binary files from your local work station or from the application server.
Text-type files only contain characters that can be displayed and read as text. CSV and ASCII files are examples of text files. For CSV files you have to specify a character that separates the individual field values. In BI, you have to specify this separator character and an escape character which specifies this character as a component of the value if required. After specifying these characters, you have to use them in the file. ASCII files contain data in a specified length. The defined field length in the file must be the same as the assigned field in BI.
Binary files contain data in the form of Bytes. A file of this type can contain any type of Byte value, including Bytes that cannot be displayed or read as text. In this case, the field values in the file have to be the same as the internal format of the assigned field in BI.
Choose Properties if you want to display the general adapter properties.
                            e.      Select the path to the file that you want to load or enter the name of the file directly, for example C:/Daten/US/Kosten97.csv.
You can also create a routine that determines the name of your file. If you do not create a routine to determine the name of the file, the system reads the file name directly from the File Name field.
                              f.      Depending on the adapter and the file to be loaded, make further settings.
■       For binary files:
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
■       Text-type files:
Specify how many rows in your file are header rows and can therefore be ignored when the data is transferred.
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
For ASCII files:
If you are loading data from an ASCII file, the data is requested with a fixed data record length.
For CSV files:
If you are loading data from an Excel CSV file, specify the data separator and the escape character.
Specify the separator that your file uses to divide the fields in the Data Separator field.
If the data separator character is a part of the value, the file indicates this by enclosing the value in particular start and end characters. Enter these start and end characters in the Escape Charactersfield.
You chose the; character as the data separator. However, your file contains the value 12;45 for a field. If you set u201C as the escape character, the value in the file must be u201C12;45u201D so that 12;45 is loaded into BI. The complete value that you want to transfer has to be enclosed by the escape characters.
If the escape characters do not enclose the value but are used within the value, the system interprets the escape characters as a normal part of the value. If you have specified u201C as the escape character, the value 12u201D45 is transferred as 12u201D45 and 12u201D45u201D is transferred as 12u201D45u201D.
In a text editor (for example, Notepad) check the data separator and the escape character currently being used in the file. These depend on the country version of the file you used.
Note that if you do not specify an escape character, the space character is interpreted as the escape character. We recommend that you use a different character as the escape character.
If you select the Hex indicator, you can specify the data separator and the escape character in hexadecimal format. When you enter a character for the data separator and the escape character, these are displayed as hexadecimal code after the entries have been checked. A two character entry for a data separator or an escape sign is always interpreted as a hexadecimal entry.
                            g.      Make the settings for the number format (thousand separator and character used to represent a decimal point), as required.
                            h.      Make the settings for currency conversion, as required.
                              i.      Make any further settings that are dependent on your selection, as required.
       5.      Go to the Proposal tab page.
This tab page is only relevant for CSV files. For files in different formats, define the field list on the Fields tab page.
Here you create a proposal for the field list of the DataSource based on the sample data from your CSV file.
                            a.      Specify the number of data records that you want to load and choose Upload Sample Data.
The data is displayed in the upper area of the tab page in the format of your file.
The system displays the proposal for the field list in the lower area of the tab page.
                            b.      In the table of proposed fields, use Copy to Field List to select the fields you want to copy to the field list of the DataSource. All fields are selected by default.
       6.      Go to the Fields tab page.
Here you edit the fields that you transferred to the field list of the DataSource from the Proposal tab page. If you did not transfer the field list from a proposal, you can define the fields of the DataSource here.
                            a.      To define a field, choose Insert Row and specify a field name.
                            b.      Under Transfer, specify the decision-relevant DataSource fields that you want to be available for extraction and transferred to BI.
                            c.      Instead of generating a proposal for the field list, you can enter InfoObjects to define the fields of the DataSource. Under Template InfoObject, specify InfoObjects for the fields in BI. This allows you to transfer the technical properties of the InfoObjects into the DataSource field.
Entering InfoObjects here does not equate to assigning them to DataSource fields. Assignments are made in the transformation. When you define the transformation, the system proposes the InfoObjects you entered here as InfoObjects that you might want to assign to a field.
                            d.      Change the data type of the field if required.
                            e.      Specify the key fields of the DataSource.
These fields are generated as a secondary index in the PSA. This is important in ensuring good performance for data transfer process selections, in particular with semantic grouping.
                              f.      Specify whether lowercase is supported.
                            g.      Specify whether the source provides the data in the internal or external format.
                            h.      If you choose the external format, ensure that the output length of the field (external length) is correct. Change the entries, as required.
                              i.      If required, specify a conversion routine that converts data from an external format into an internal format.
                              j.      Select the fields that you want to be able to set selection criteria for when scheduling a data request using an InfoPackage. Data for this type of field is transferred in accordance with the selection criteria specified in the InfoPackage.
                            k.      Choose the selection options (such as EQ, BT) that you want to be available for selection in the InfoPackage.
                              l.      Under Field Type, specify whether the data to be selected is language-dependent or time-dependent, as required.
       7.      Check, save and activate the DataSource.
       8.      Go to the Preview tab page.
If you select Read Preview Data, the number of data records you specified in your field selection is displayed in a preview.
This function allows you to check whether the data formats and data are correct.
