Loading data from a remote machine

Hi,
I would like to know the process to load data from a file in remote machine to an oracle table. The load file is dumped to a folder in a remote machine and it is a pipe delimited one. I am using oracle 11g.
Can I create a directory in oracle, which maps to the remote location, and create an external table?
Thanks in advance
Arun

The best method would depend on the requirements. Are files regularly created on that server? What are the file sizes? Are files to be kept after loading for history or auditing purposes? Etc.
You can run SQL*Loader on the remote platform and load the data, across the network, into the database.
However, if the data set is large, it may be faster to zip that data, scp it across to the Oracle server, and then unzip and load it there.
If the remote platform is a user platform and the user needs to load data - then that can be done via a web interface. User uploads the file to Oracle (via http). The file is received as a CLOB by the database. PL/SQL code can then process that file - either by parsing it directly, or unloading the CLOB to a local file and then loading that file via an external table.
You'll need to look at what the requirements are, before looking for a solution.

Loading data from remote flat file

I want to load data from flat file present on Solaris Sparc into Oracle table present on AIX platform. Both machines are on the network.
According to my research, i can use the following methods.
1-SQL Loader
2-Mount drive on Oracle Machine and then use External table.
Is there any other way of loading table from flat file which is suitable in this scenario.

While I'm sure we could come up with alternatives, SQL*Loader and external tables would certainly tend to be the most appropriate/ conventional approaches. Is there something about these approaches that does not meet your requirements?

Error while loading data from a text file to a datastore

Hi all,
i am a starter in ODI. I am trying to load data from a text file into a datastore. I have put the file on a unix server whose location is defined in the topology manager. when i am trying to "view data" it is giving me error file does not exist at <location where i have put the file>. Please help me

Hi,
1. If your files are on a remote File System, you will need to copy one of your files to the machine ODI Designer is running on to allow ODI to retrieve the metadata information of the file.
2. In Topology create a Physical Schema, the directory you enter for Data and Work Schema should point at this local file.
3. Then define the File Datastore in ODI Designer. Enter a name, browse and select the file and fill in each filed of the Files tab.
* If its a Fixed file, click on the grid icon on the Columns tab to enter the columns and have Automatic Adjustment checked.
* If its a Delimited file, use the Reverse button on the Columns tab to reverse the columns.
* Right click on the File Datastore select View Data, if you can view data, that means the File Datastore has been defined correctly.
* If not, check each tab of the File Datastore to make sure everything is defined correctly and retry.
4. Once View Data is successful, you now change the directories (Data and Work Schema in Topology) to point at the remote File System. These directories must be accessible to the ODI Agent that will be used to run the transformations. The directory can be an absolute path (m:/public/data/files) or relative to the ODI Agent startup directory (../demo/files). It is strongly advised to use a UNC (independent from the execution location) for the path. When running the transformations with "no agent", the directory is relative to the directory where Oracle Data Integrator has been installed.
You need to have a agent process running at the system where your source file resides .
Then while running the odi interface choose that agent .

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!

How to load data from a virtual cube with services

Hello all,
we have set up a virtual cube with service and create a BEx report to get the data from an external database. That works fine. The question is now:
Is it some how possible to "load" the data from this virtual cube with service (I know that there are not really data...) into an other InfoCube?
If that is possible, can you please give my some guidance how to set up this scenario.
Thanks in advance
Jürgen

Hi:
I don't have system before me, so try this.
I know it works for Remote Cube.
Right Click on the Cube and Select Generate Export Data Source.
If you can do this successfully, then go to Source Systems tab and select the BW. Here, Right CLick on select Replicate DataSources.
Next, go to InfoSOurces, click on Refresh. Copy the name of Virtual Cube and add 8 as a prefix and search for the infosource.
If you can see it, that means, you can load data from this cube to anywhere you want, just like you do to ODS.
ELSE.
Try and see if you can create an InfoSpoke in Virtual Cube. Tran - RSBO.
Here, you can load to a database table and then, from this table, you can create datasource, etc.
ELSE.
Create query and save it as CSV file and load it anywhere you want. This is more difficult.
Good luck

You can try an OLEDB provider in that case

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

Experts,
Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.If so explain the steps to perform.
Thanks,
Meera

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

ERROR : "Exceptions in Substep: Rules" while loading data from DSO to CUBE

Hi All,
I have a scenario like this.
I was loading data from ODS to cube daily. everything was working fine till 2 days before. i added some characteristic fields in my cube while i didn't do any change in my key figures. now i started reloading of data from ODS to cubes. i got the following error "Exceptions in Substep: Rules" after some package of data loaded successfully.
I deleted the added fields from the infocube and then i tried toreload data again but i am facing the same error again "Exceptions in Substep: Rules".
Can any one tell me how to come out from this situation ?

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,

Dump when loading Data from DSO to Cube

Hi,
i get a short dump DBIF_REPO_PART_NOT_FOUND when trying to load data from a dso to a cube. From DSO to DSO it works fine.
any idea`s?
thx!
Dominik

the Dump occurs in the last step of the last data pakage in the DTP Monitor.
I checked the OSS note, but i don´t know how to check the kernel version.
Now i used another DSO for testing and i got another Dump with a different name.
After that i logged in again and it works with my test DSO data...
But still not working with the original one...
@Kazmi: What detaisl u mean exactly?

How to load data from one Infocube to another request by request using DTP

Hi All,
I have a scenario where we are maintaining backup Infocube B for Infocube A. User loads data from a flat file many times a day in different requests. We need to maintain backup of the Infocube A on weekly basis. i.e data to be refreshed with delta update from cube A to cube B. There are some situations where user deletes some of the requests in Infocube A randomly after use. Will this change effect in back up cube B when performed data refresh from cube A to cube B. i.e. this functionality is similar to reconstruct in BW 3.5. Now we are running on BI 7.0 SP 9.
Can anyone answer this ASAP.
Many Thanks,
Ravi

You cannot load request by request, " Get Data By Request " DTP loads request by request on " First In First Out " basis. You can run some Pseudo/Fake DTP's if you dont want to load data from a particular request.
If the user deletes a request from Cube A, it wont be loaded to Cube B but if it is already loaded in Cube B and later the user deletes the request from Cube A you have to delete the request frm Cube B. Inorder to monitor request by request run DTP with " Get Data By Request set.

Automatically trigger the event to load data from Planning cube to Standard Cube

Hello,
We have a below set up in our system..
1. A Planning BEx query using which user makes certain entries and writes back data to the planning cube.
2. An actual reporting cube which gets data from the planning cube above.
Now, what we want to do is to automate the data load from Planning cube to Reporting cube.
This involves 2 things..
1. Change the setting " Change real time load behaviour " of the planing cube to Planning.
2. Trigger the DTP which loads data from Planning cube to reporting cube.
We want to automate the above two steps...
I have tried few things to achieve the same..
1. Created an event in SM64,
2. In the Planning cube "Manage" Screen, clicked on "Subsequent Processing" and provided the event details. ( Not sure if its the correct place to provide the event detail ).
3. Wrote a ABAP program which changes the setting of the planning cube ( " Change real time load behaviour " to Loading )
4. Created a process chain, where we have used the event as a start variant, used the ABAP program as a next step, DTP run as the last step..
This i hoped, would trigger the event as soon as a new request comes and sits in planning cube, which in turn would trigger the process chain which would load the data from Planning cube to reporting cube..
This is not working. I dont think the event is triggering, and even if does i am not sure whether it will start the process chain automatically. Any ideas please ?

hi,
try to do the transformation directly in the input cube by using CR of type exit, more details :
