Loading data from a flatfile versus xml

As of now we are loading data from the AS400 by using flatfiles.
For the sake of uniformity and flexibility we want to start using xml instead of flatfiles.
But for what I have seen the loading of xml seems to be a lot slower then flatfiles.
I think I have to chose between two options
Loading infto xlmldb - XMLTYPE
or
make use of DBMS_XMLSTORE.
I think it would be best to use the pl/sql package because we will not need extra storage for the xml table and then the fastest way should be dbms_xmlstore since it is written in c.
If someone can come up with another, faster way, fine with me.
If I want to use the package I have the following problem.
I know how to tell which columns to load but my source xmlfile needs to be stored in at least 2 tables.
It was possible with wb_xml_load but I think dbms_xmlstore is the faster solution.
Can anybody tell me how to proceed?
A little performance degradation is OK but we still need to load lots of data, so the faster the better.
regards.

  • How to load data from oracle table to XML using ODI ?

    Hello Team
    I am trying to load data from an oracle table to an xml file. I have configured the physical and the logical schemas for the same. I have used SQL to SQL as LKM and SQL to SQL Append as IKM with Sunopsis Memory Engine as staging area.
    After this, when I am executing the interface, it is executed without any errors but to my surprise I am not finding the relevant data in the xml file. What could be the reason ?
    Please look into this and lemme know how to solve it.
    Thanks.

    Hello Phanikanth
    Even IKM SQL Control Append is not solving the problem. There are many " order columns" in the target xml table. I have not mapped them or specified any order. Does the problem persist because of this ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The trouble in "<default>:"  - if you set XML_PATH as C:\DATA_FILE\www.xml instead  <default>:C:\DATA_FILE\www.xml- it will work correctly.

  • Load data from XML files into BI

    Hi All,
    Can any one guide me through the steps which involve in loading data from XML files into BI?
    Thanks
    Santosh

    Hi James,
    I have followed upto step No: 12 .
    Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
    I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
    Thanks In Advance
    Regards,
    San
    1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
    2. Activate the transfer rules.
    3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
    4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
    5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
    6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
    7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
    8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
    9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
    10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
    11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
    12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
    13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

  • Loading data from flat file to infocube

    hi,can any one give me the steps invovled  in loading data from flatfile to info cube in an elegant way

    hi,
    data loading in BI 7.0 from fla file means
    fisrt create one Cube or DSO with the same structure which you have in flatfile..and activate it.. ->now comes to Datasource tab> create one Datasource here you need to select type of data for example..
    select Transactional data --> and menntion your flatfile name in extraction tab- and file type and eneter your info object names in FIELDS tab -->
    and load preview data Activate it..
    now select your datasource and create info package and schedule it..
    now your data will loded in to PSA level...----> and now comes to info provider select your cube.. and right clcik it..
    and create transformations.,. and activate it..----> and create DTP -- Activate it.. and Execute it..
    1)Create datasource. Here u can set/check the Soucre System fields.
    2)Create Transformation for that datasource. (no more update rules/transfer rules)
    2.1) While creating transformation for DS it will ask you for data target name, so just assign where u want to update ur data.
    DataSource -> Transformation -> (DTP)-->Data TargetNow if you want to load data into data target from Source System Datasource:
    1) Create infopackage for that data source. If you are creating infopackage for new datasources, it will only allow you update upto PSA, all other options u can see as disabled.
    2)Now Create DTP (Data Transfer Process) for that data source.
    3) NOw schdule the Infopackage, once the data is loaded to PSA, you can execute your DTP which will load data to data target.
    Data Transfer Process (DTP) is now used to load data using the dataflow created by the Transformation.
    Here's how the DTP data load works:
    1) Load InfoPackage
    2) Data gets loaded into PSA (hence why PSA only is selected)
    3) DTP gets "executed"
    4) Data gets loaded from PSA into the data target once the DTP has executed
    if helpful provide points

  • Unable to load data from an ODS to a Cube

    Hi all,
    I am traying to load data from an ODS to a cube, and I'm getting the following msg at the bottom of the screen monitor: <b>"No corresponding requests were found for request REQU_BZUH9ZPYNL5XLQNB7K8IQDKFS in the ODS/Cube" Message no. RSBM043.</b>
    I am unable to load the data. The QM status is yellow. When the process starts, on the left hand of the monitor it shows: "0 of 84408 records" which is ok. I load that with this package before and it works well.
    Can you help me what I have to do? I tried to wait but it was the same: no progress and no data in the cube.
    Thank you very much and kind regards,
    MM.
    May be this helps...
    When I look at the status, it says that I have a short dump at BW. It was CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR and the short text is "The function module "SUBST_TRANSFER_UPGEVAL" cannot be used for 'remote'". This short dump occurs very much before I shoot the upload.
    Thanks again.

    Hello MM,
    Can you do the following..
    make the Total status Red Delete the request from cube.
    goto ODS -> Remove the Data Mart Status -> Try loading it again.
    The error message that you get is common when we are trying to run a infopackage with the source object having no new request, (means all the requests available in the source are already moved to the targets). So please try the steps given above.
    Hope it will help!

  • To load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.

    Hi,
    Think in this way,
    To load the data fro any source we need datasource Ok. You can genare Export data source for Cube in APO,  then use that datasource for BW extraction, try like this. I think it will work, in my case I'm directly loading data from APO to BW using the DataSource sthat are genaraed on Planning Area.
    Why you need to take data from APO cube?. Is there any condition for that?. If it is not mandatory, you can use the dame datasource and load the data to BW, if they have any conditions while loading the data from APO to APO cube, they you try check wherther it is possible in BW or not. If possible then you use DataSource and do the same calculation in BW directly.
    Thanks

  • Unable to load data from DSO to Cube

    Good morning all,
    I was trying to load data from DSO to Cube for validation. Before loading the new data, I deleted all from DSO and Cube. They contain no request at all. Cube has "Delta Update". First DSO was loaded 138,300 records successfully. Then Activated the DSO. The last when I clicked Exectue (DSO --> Cube), it loaded 0 record. I was able to load the data yesterday. What might be the reasons for this situation?
    Thank you so much!

    Hi BI User,
    For loading delta upload into the data target, there should be an initialization request in the data target with same selection criteria.
    So..first do the initialization and perform delta upload into the cube.

    Subhashini.

  • DTP load data from DSO to CUBE can't debug

    Hi,all expert.
    I met a problem yestoday.
    When I load data from datasource to DSO,and debug the start routine,it was ok.But when I load data from DSO to CUBE,and debug the routine,it got an error like this:
    inconsistent input parameter(parameter:<unknow>,value <unknown>)
    message no: RS_EXCEPTION 101.
    I don't know why,PLZ help me,thank you very much.

    Hi,
    An alternative way to do this is to have a small code for infinite loop in your start routine. And when you start the load goto SM50 and debug the process which is executing the load, from there you can close the infinite loop and carry on with the debugging. Please let me know if you require further information.
    Thanks,
