Loading data from infopackage via application server

Question

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where i need to load data present in the internal table to a CSV file in the application server (AL11) via open data set, and then read the file from the aplication server, via infopackage ( routine ) then load it to the PSA.
Now i have created a custom program to load data to AL11 application server and i have used the below code.
DATA : BEGIN OF XX,
  NODE_ID     TYPE N LENGTH 8,
  INFOOBJECT  TYPE C LENGTH 30,
  NODENAME  TYPE C LENGTH 60,
  PARENT_ID  TYPE N LENGTH 8,
  END OF XX.
DATA : I_TAB LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF XX.
DATA: FILE_NAME TYPE RLGRAP-FILENAME.
FILE_NAME = './SIMMA2.CSV'.
OPEN DATASET FILE_NAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
XX-NODE_ID = '5'.
XX-INFOOBJECT = 'ZEMP_H'.
XX-NODENAME = '5'.
XX-PARENT_ID  = '1'.
APPEND XX TO I_TAB.
XX-NODE_ID = '6'.
XX-INFOOBJECT = 'ZEMP_H'.
XX-NODENAME = '6'.
XX-PARENT_ID  = '1'.
APPEND XX TO I_TAB.
LOOP AT I_TAB INTO XX.
  TRANSFER XX TO FILE_NAME.
ENDLOOP.
now i can see the data in the application server AL11.
Then in my infopackage i have the following code,
form compute_flat_file_filename
     using p_infopackage type rslogdpid
  changing p_filename    like rsldpsel-filename
           p_subrc       like sy-subrc.
      Insert source code to current selection field
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
  P_FILENAME = './SIMMA2.CSV'.
  DATA : BEGIN OF XX,
  NODE_ID     TYPE N LENGTH 8,
INFOOBJECT  TYPE C LENGTH 30,
  NODENAME  TYPE C LENGTH 60,
  PARENT_ID  TYPE N LENGTH 8,
  END OF XX.
  DATA : I_TAB LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF XX.
  OPEN DATASET P_FILENAME FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    DO.
      READ DATASET P_FILENAME INTO XX.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        APPEND XX TO I_TAB.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
  ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET P_FILENAME.
  P_SUBRC = 0.
i have the following doubt,
while loading the data from internal table to application server, do i need to add any "data seperator" character and "escape sign" character?
Also in the infopackage level i will select the "file type" as "CSV file", what characters do i need to give in the "data seperator" and "escape sign" boxes?  Please provide if there is any clear tutorial for the same and can we use process chain to load data for infopackage using file from application server and this is a 3.x datasource where we are loading hierarchy via flat file in the application server.

Answer 1

Hi,
Correct me if my understanding is wrong.. I think u are trying to load data to the initial ODS and from that ODS the data is going to t2 targets thru PSA(Cube and ODS)....
I think u are working on 3.x version right now.. make sure the following process in ur PC.
Start process
Load to Initia ODS
Activation of the Initial ODS
Further Update thru the PSA(which will update both ODS and Cube).
make sure that u have proper Update rules and Init for both the targets from the Lower ODS and then load the data.
Thanks
