Loading Flat files with into multiple tables using OWB

Hi,
How to implement the following logic in OWB.
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'myfile.txt'
BADFILE 'myfile.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'myfile.dsc'
APPEND
Into TABLE_Awhen (1:1) = 'A'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:5) CHAR)
Into TABLE_Bwhen (1:1) = 'B'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:20) EXTERNAL INTEGER)
Into TABLE_C
when (1:1) = 'C'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:20) EXTERNAL INTEGER)
I am using 10g version of OWB.I tried using the splitter operator.
I am getting the following error when i use the splitter.
An invalid combination of operators prevents the generation of code in a single implementation language (PL/SQL code, or SQL*Loader code, or ABAP code). For example, you may have included a SQL*Loader only operator such as the Data Generator in a mapping with a PL/SQL implementation type. If you designed the mapping to generate PL/SQL code, an invalid combination or sequence of operators prevents the generation of PL/SQL code in any of the operating modes(set based, row based, row based target only). If the mapping contains an operator that generates only PL/SQL output, all downstream dataflow operators must also be implementable by PL/SQL. You can use SQL operators in such a mapping only after loading the PL/SQL output to a target. Detail is as follows:
PL/SQL set based operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL generation.
PL/SQL row based operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
PL/SQL row based (target only) operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
Both SQL and PL/SQL handlers are not supported by trailer_source_txt as output
SQL*Loader: Operator SPLIT does not support SQL*Loader generation.
ABAP: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support ABAP generation.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
Splitter can be used ib PL/SQL mappings, but if you use a flat file in a mapping, than it will be an SQLLoader mapping. So I suggest to you to create a mapping which load your flat file into a table, and from this table you load the data into the three table with the spillet in a PL/SQL mapping. Create two mappings.
Or you can use an external table in a mapping with a splitter.

How to store the flat file data into custom table?

Hi,
Iam working on inbound interface.Can any one tell me how to store the flat file data into custom table?what is the procedure?
Regards,

Hie
u can use function
F4_FILENAME
to pick the file from front-end or location.
then use function
WS_UPLOAD
to upload into
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'   "Function to pick file
    EXPORTING
      field_name = 'p_file'     "file
    IMPORTING
      file_name = p_file.     "file

    TABLES
      data_tab                      = it_line
*then loop at it_line splitting it into the fields of your custom table.
loop at it_line.
          split itline at ',' into
          itab-name
          itab-surname.

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.

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.

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

Loading data into multiple tables using sqlloader

Hi,
I am using sql loader to load the data from flat file into the data base
my file structure is as below
====================
101,john,mobile@@fax@@home@@office@@email,1234@@3425@@1232@@2345@@[email protected],1234.40

in file first columns are empno,ename,comm_mode(multiple values terminated by '@@'),comm_no_txt(multiple values terminated by '@@'), sal
the comm_mode and comm_no_text needs to be inserted into the separate table (emp_comm) like below
emp
empno ename sal
101 john 1234.40
102 smith 123.40
103 adams 2345.40

like this needs to insert the data using sql loader
my table structures
===============
emp
empno number(5)
ename varchar2(15)
sal number(10,2)
emp_comm
empno number(5) reference the empno of the emp table
comm_mode varchar2(10)
Comm_no_text varchar2(35)
now i want insert the file data into the specified structues
please help me out to achieve this using sql loader
(we are not using external tables for this)
Thanks & Regards.

Pl post OS and database details
You will need to split up the datafile in order to load into separate tables. The process is documented

How to upload the flat file records into internal table by position?

Hi
I have a flat file which has 7 records in each row and they are NOT provided with CSV or Tab demilited...
They are continous text without spaces....
but i know the fixed length of each field Eg : 1st field 7 char and seconc field 3 char and so on...
How can i upload this file into internal table by reading positions of each field...I know we can use GUI_UPLOAD and Read dataset and Open dataset...
But please let me know to read the file with the fixed postions and load into internal table...
Thanks in advance
MM

Hi
As per my knowledge i dont think thr is some function module or so to read with a fixed positions.
You can use the below method if you think this is the best way.
Suppose your file has
types : begin of ty_itab,
            field1 type char7,
            field2 type char3,
            field3 type chat3,
            field4 type char3,
            end of ty_itab.
types : begin of ty_upload,
             str type string,
            end of ty_upload.
data : it_itab type standatd table of ty_itab,
          it_upload type standard table ot ty_upload,
          wa_itab type ty_itab,
          wa_upload type ty_upload.
use gui_upload.get the data in it_upload.
here you know that u have first 16 charcters makes a first row n then next 16 charcters next row
Loop at it_upload into wa_upload.
   v_len = strlen ( wa_upload ).
   v_len = v_len / 16.
    You get number of rows per record ,if it is decimal value make it final value if 3.9 make to 4.
    do v_len times.
      wa_itab = wa_upload.
      By this only first 16 characters are moved and respective fields will get a value.or else u can use offset
       wa_upload+0(16).
      append wa_itab to it_itab.
      Now shift 16 characters using shift command in wa_upload.
    enddo.
endloop.
Hope this syntax help you to resolve your issue.May be something i have missed .Right now i don't have sap system to send you the full correct syntax code.
Cheers

More than one flat files with same external table

Is it possible to create external table in owb associated with more than one file ie to generate code like LOCATION ( FILE1,FILE2) in create table ddl.

Hi,
Yes, you can add multiple files by using the configuration of the external table, and create many instances of 'files'. Every 'file' you specify requires you to specify a location and a file name.
For more details, please review chapter 5 of the user's guide (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/warehouse.html), page 5-15.
Hope this helps.

How do you insert new records into multiple tables using the same unique primary key?

I’ve created a PHP site and MySQL server using a free app called XAMPP. I have successfully created a form in Dreamweaver that will write data to a (name) table in the SQL database. Here’s my question: How do you write to two (or more) tables in the same database and pass the same primary key to both tables? In the SQL database, I defined the first field as ID and set it as the primary key with auto update. So, when you insert a new record, it creates a unique primary key for that record. In my form, I’m capturing info that needs to be stored to two tables at the same time; a Name table and Address table. Since the Name and Address tables use the ID field as the primary key, I believe I will need to pass the ID value from the Name table to the insert of the Address table to insure they both have the same primary key, right?

No. You probably need the primary key from one table to be a foreign key in the other tables. In any case, I believe you can use two methods to obtain the auto generated key. First with SQL:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/getting-unique-id.html
And the other using a PHP function:

Insert into multiple tables using a page variable

Hi Guys,
I was going to trawl the PL/SQL forum for this but as I need to use a page variable I thought I would try here first.
I have 4 tables 2 live and 2 archive, company_table, company_table_arch, product, product_arch the tables are set up with a company Id as the join.
you can have multiple products to a company.
what I want to do is have an archive button on a form that will select the current record on the company table, and insert it into archive then select all records with that id in the product table and insert them into the product_arch table.
I was thinking about doing this as a couple of page proccess, sound about right?
the other option was using a package,
is it possible to use page variables in a package? If so what is the sintax
cheers
Bjorn

OK, I have got the basis of this working I press the archive button and the records update as per the code.
I have one problem however.
The button is on a form. and if the user updates the form then presses the archive button it copies the data before the table is updated (the table is updated using a save button).
One way round this would be to jump to an "are you sure?" page
Does anyone know a better way of doing this?
cheers

Insert data into multiple tables

Hi all,
I've a requirement where i need to insert data into multiple tables using PL/SQL procedure
Procedure should have two parameters
1. Table Name (parameter1)
2. Data (parameter2)
Based on these two parameters i need to insert data into table (parameter1) using data (parameter2)
ex:
Procedure insert_data (p_table IN VARCHAR2
,p_data IN -- what should be the datatype?
IS
l_statement VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
-- insert data into tables
INSERT INTO p_table
values (....);
END insert_data;Thanks in advance!!

BEDE wrote:
Amen to that!
So, I believe a better approach would be the following...
Suppose you have N datafiles with the same structure, and you wish to insert into the database the data from all those files.
For that, you should have a single table, named, say incoming_file_data, which should be structured more or less like below:
create table incoming_file_data (
filename varchar2(250) not null -- name of the file inserted from
,file_time timestamp -- timestamp when the data was inserted
,... -- the columns of meaningful data contained in the lines of those files
);And you will insert the data from all those files in this table, having normally one transaction for each file processed, for otherwise, when shit happens, some file may only get to be partially inserted into the table...
Maybe one good approach would be to create dynamically an external table for the file to be loaded, and then execute dynamically insert select into the table I said, so that you will have only one insert select for one file instead of using utl_file... RTM on that.If the file structures are the same, and it's just the filename that's changing, I would have a single external table definition, and use the alter table ... location ... statement (through execute immediate) to change the filename(s) as appropriate before querying the data. Of course that's not scalable if there are multiple users intenting to use this, but generally when we talk about importing multiple files, it's a one-user/one-off/once-a-day type of scenario, so multi-user isn't a consideration.

How can we load a flat file with very, very long lines into a table?

Hello:
We have to load a flat file with OWB. The problem is that each of the lines in the file might be up to 30.000 characters long (up to 1.000 units of information in each line, 30 characters long each)
Of course, our mapping should insert these units of information as independent rows in a table (1.000 rows, in our example).
We do not know how to go about it. We usually load flat files using table functions, but we am not sure that they will be able to cope with these huge lines. And how should we pivot those lines? Will the Pivot operator do the trick? Or maybe we should pivot those lines outside the database before loading them?
We are a bit lost. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards

Edited by: [email protected] on Oct 29, 2008 8:44 AM

Yes, well, we could define a 1.000 column external table, and then map those 1.000 columns to the Pivot operator… perhaps it would work. But we have been investigating a little bit, and we think that we have found a better solution: there is a unix utility called “fold”. This utility can split our 30.000 character lines in 1.000 lines, 30 characters long each: just what we needed. Then we can load the resulting file using an external table.
We think this is a much better solution that handling 1.000 columns in the external table and in the Pivot operator.
Thanks for your help.

Loading multiple .csv files into a table using SSIS

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have 200+ csv files to be loaded into Netezza table using SSIS.
Issue I am facing is all columns have different number of columns, for ex, file 1 has columns A,B,C and file 2 has columns C,D,E. My target table has all columns from A to E in it.
But, when I am using for each loop container, only the file for which I have specified filepath+filename in loop variable, that is getting loaded. Rest all files, no data is getting loaded from them and package is executing successfully.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
VT

if you want to iterate through files then all files should be in same folder and you should use file enumerator type within ForEach loop. Then inside loop you might need a script task to generate the data flow on the fly based on the avialble input columns
from the file and do the mapping in the destination. So I assume you put NULLs (or some default value) for missing columns from the file

Load flat file into oracle with SQL Loader

Hi All,
Oracle 9i
I want to load flat file into oracle with the help of sqlloader but I want to skip some columns from flat file.
Can anyone tell me how can we skip column from flat file , I can’t open flat file into excel as CSV due to large volume
Does anyone has any solution for the same.
Umesh Goel

Filler can be use when we want to skip database table column or we want to put null in database table column
but if we have 10 column in flat file and we want to load 1,2,5,7 number column from flat file
then I think filler will not work
If yes then plz let me know.
thx
