Loading FLat file data using FDMEE having 1 to many mapping

Hi All,
I need to load a data from Flat file to hyperion planning applcation using FDMEE having one to many mapping
For e.g Data file has 2 records
Acc Actual Version1 Scene1 1000
Acc Actual Version1 Scene2 2000
now target application has 5 dimension and data need to be load as
acc Actual Version1 entity1 Prod2 1000
Acc Actual Version1 Entity2 Prod2 2000
Please suggest
Regards
Anubhav

From your exmple I don't see the one too many mapping requirement. You have one source data line that maps to a single target intersection. Where is the one to many mapping requirement in your example?

Interface used in loading flat file data into bw

what is the interface used in loading flat files into the bw system.

HI Flat file load is its own interface. It leverages the S-API (Service API), the standard interface that is used to load data in the BI system.

Errors when loading flat file data

We just test to load a very simple flat file data with only two lines and the two lines of data in preview of InfoSource is correct. But when run InfoPackage to load data, the monitor of the InfoPackage shows the following errors (see in between two dashed lines below):

In the flat file (excel sheet saved as a CSV file), for each row of the data, there are two fields which are start_date and end_date and the date format is MM/DD/YYYY and in the Transfer Rule, we transfer the date format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYYMMDD which is required by DATS InfoObject type in BW. If you need the excel sheet of data in order to answer our questions about the above errors, you can give us your e-mail address and we can send the simple two rows of data excel sheet file to you.
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
1.You can use lowercase letters in the values for your characteristics provided you have checked the lowercase checkbox in the general tab page of Create characteristic screen.But when you do so no masterdata tables,text tables, or another level of attributes underneath are allowed.
OR
Use only upper case letters in your characteristic unchecking the above mentioned box.
2.The date format in the CSV file should be yyyymmdd.It should have 8 characters . I guess there is something strange in your "calendardays" since I could not find 8 characters irrespective of the order.Do not forget to use zeroes.
Hope this works.
Reward if it is helpful.

Is it possible to load flat file data residing on a local machine via BODS 4.2 or flat file should reside on BODS server?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to load data from flatfiles stored on particular location, on a machine on which BODS client istallation is there.
I am able to create a flat file format by browsing the file location and giving file name.I can view the file data also.
But when I execute the job, job failswith the error "Cannot open file <D:/BODS_flatfiles/result.txt>. Check its path and permissions".
Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from flat file on a local machine, which has BODS4.2 client installated on it or the flat file should reside in a path in BODS job server ?
Thanks,

Flat file data load - ODS - Look up data in Startroutine

Hi All,
There is a requirement that I have two ODS say 1) ABC and XYZ.
For Both ODS , We load flat file data.
First we load data to ABC for current fiscal period
During the data load to XYZ, We lookup part nos data in ABC for current fiscal period , if data there , for those part nos we load XYZ Flat file data.
My requirement is that , I need to fetch part nos data from ABC for Fiscal period < current fisacl period. Then I need to extract already loaded data for those part nos from XYZ and Mark the flag field as Non reportable .
How can we achieve this ?
Please advice
Thanks
Ajay

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done so. When I add lines of My Internal table data to DATA_PACKAGE, It gives the syntax error that both structures are not unique. We have several fields in XYZ ods but they are not in Communication structure.
Thats the problem. Also , if I write the code , will it be executed for each datapackage. I mean , for each datapacket process , my code will fetch whole data from ABC and then from XYZ. Repetion will be there?
Any other logic can i use ?
Thanks
Ajay

Hi Sunil
Hope you can check whether you are loadig the flat file data from application server or Client workstation.
May be if you are loading from Client work station you will face problem of this type.
Try to check if any change in format in the file.
at the end of the file delete the spaces.

Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

Can someone pls help me to remove escape character \r from the data?

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

Loading Flat File

Hi Gurus, I have this scenario, where a ODS A (Auditing) has export datasource that feeds data to another ODS C (Auditing and Posting). ODS B (Posting) is independent and is not physically in the data flow.
ODS C has update routines that does lookup for some some fields in ODS B. and eventually ODS C has update rules that feed data to CUBE A.
So ODS C has fields from both ODS A and ODS B.
I wanted to see if I can load a flat file into directly ODS C, it has a export datasource. I tried, I always get that famous 'InfoSource' error msg. Please guide.
Please let me know if you need more explanations.
Thanks.

hi,
it's possible to load flat file data directly to cube C. before loading the data to ods c. you have to decline the infoobject's in to ods. mention the flat file infoobjects in to ods. then do the loading. when you r creating the update rules from ods to infosource it's give some keyfigure has no update. ignore the error and activate the update rule.
one thing i forget to say. when u r updating data from ods c to cube it will cause error, because of the addition of new object 's in to cube. it its show the error, delete the old export data source and recreate it newly.
hope this help you

Flat file data loading error using process chain

Hi SAP Experts,
I am having a problem loading the flat file data to the cube using process chain. The issue is that when i run the process chain it fails giving the message " Date format error, please enter the date in the format _.yyyy" . I am using " 0calmonth in the datasource" . Strange is that when i manually execute the infopackage, i dont get any errors and am able to load the same file successfully to the dso and the cube. Is there any special setting for the process chain that i am missing?
The date format in the flat file is mm/yyyy. I have tried all the options i could including recreating the datasource and invain dont see any success so far. please help me solving this problem as we r in the middle of testing cycle.
Thanking you all for your quick response and support all the time.
Kind Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,
I believe you are opening the .csv file again after saving it. In this case the initial 0 in single digit month (say 02/2010) is getting changed to 2/2010 and the resulting file is not readable to the system. Just do not open the file after you have entered data in the .csv file and saved and closed it. If required, open the file in notepad, but not in excel in case you want to re-check the data.
Hope this helps.

Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

Loading flat files from a server with OWB
I am successful loading files with OWB, as long as they resided on my workstation in the C:\ drive. I copied the files to a Linux server into directories owned by Oracle/oinstall, permissions on the directories containing the files are 777. I ran the OWB client from the server with the following results:

Hi
This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Urgent: Problem to load Flat file using DTP.

Hi Experts,
I try to load a flat file PSA->DSO->INFOCUBE using DTP.
I my flatfile in the application server in csv format.
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
If I check the preview: I cant find any data and get the message: Inbound processing of data package 000001 finished
when I try to Load the data thorough PC the load was successfull but only 0 records are transfered and added to PSA:; DSO and Info Cube.
The test file contains around 20 records.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sailekha..
in the My data source I opted Adapter as Load Text -Type file from Application Server.
Data Format : I test with both the potions : Fixed length & Separated with Separator( For example CSV) .
Note: As per ur info:
In the Flat file Data source :
1. You have to maintain the Adapter as:
Load Text -Type file from Application Server
Data Format : Separated with Separator
Then Use the "Proposal" Tab to generate the field proposals.
(Only in BI 7.0 this option is available).
After that check the Preview in "Preview" Tab.
Hope it works...
Cheers,...

Flat File Data Loads to BI 7.0

Hi Experts,
Please update me what is the best approach i have to follow for the below scenario of Flat File Data Loads
I will get data in Excel ....with Two worksheets....from the user
My requirment is to place the file in Central location avaliable to the user and BW to update if any changes necessary and want to load data(full0 to bw from file if there are any changes
Please update me how to deal with this scenarion of Two work sheets,In a central location...
Thanks

Easiest thing would be to use a DSO with change log to handle the changes to pass onto to any cubes and load a full every night
Then let the change log worry about any changes to the workbook
You have to be careful about the DSO keys though for this to work properly
Now to automate the loads - just how are you planning to create the infopackage as it will only read a csv and not the binary xls
Well it will read the binary xls if you maybe use a dbconnect with a jdbc driver to read the xls (that's on my next thing to do - but if you are as your user id suggests a "bw learner" then that may be a bit complicated)
The only other thign to do is to write a macro that automatically creates the csv file on the app server when the user quits the xls
Or off course you can just dump the csv each night - but then that is a manual task and in systems I design I hate manual tasks as staff go on holiday and peopel change jobs and it's not really very SoX compliant

Load .csv file data with OWb Process flow using Web

Hi,
I Have a file in my local machine( Machines on multiple user's), need to load data through Web user interface.
Let's say have a web page with multiple radio buttons respective to different sources, by clicking on each button will pass the path of .csv file to through Application, (API or Java programming interface) execute owb Process flow as a accepting file path as a input parameter to execute for loading purpose.
Should facilitate view data, Update data through web based on user requests.
Need your guidence how can i implement this with OWb 11g R2.
Assuming with Web browser functionality. Please confirm it and if yes, please throw some light how could be the steps to implement.
Thanks

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply.
Undersatnd your proposed solution.But my requirement should be as follows.
1. Currently under consideration using web page likely to be implement with Java, allowing users to load .csv file data into staging area.(Loading flat file into Data abse table)
Case 1, Assuming OWB software is not installed on user machine. I think no.
Is it possible through web page (this case Java page) to trigger java procedure/Pl/SQl procedure or integration of both to laod data into staging area.If yes, how it could effect performance of data load with 1 GB file.
Case 2, OWb client software installed on User machine, while runtime passing parameters means passing manually?
In case it is automated, how should i pass machine name & Path to owb runtime web browser.
Could you please show me guidence how should I acheive this functionality with APEX customization part?
Thanks agin for your support.
