Logical file datasource/Infopackage

Hi experts,
I have an infopackage loading file from AL11 server to a DSO. Sometimes the loading fails.
All those steps are automated in a process chain. What i would like to do, if the loading fails is to send an email to the person that uploaded the file in the server.
The header of the file uploaded contains informations about the person : Fisrt name, last name.
So i have to dynamically constitute his email by reading the header of the file.
Is that possible?
Thanks.
Amine

hi,
Right click on the load step variant and click create a message on condition failure on process type loading (load step). Save the mail id id of the person (here the person who is loading the file). If the load step fails it will send a message to the person mail id.
You have another option of creating an alert using the tcode alrtcatdef
double click on process chains on left window
click display/ change then click BWAC_PROCESS_CHAIN_ERROR
and also maintain the parameters in the lower panel
Alert description and so on..
For more information please check this PDF document

Hope it helps.

Infopackage Routine in flat file datasource

Hi,
There is a requirements to load the data from multiple flat files in folder into BI which source data is coming from other system. Each flat file has it own naming convention.
There are around more the 200 flat file (CSV.file) in folder,data source is flat file datasource.
Could any one help me in above issue.
Regards
RAM

I assume they'll be using FTP to send the files... You have the layout defined and naming convention as well...
One option would be to create a user and folder in the BW server for the FTP to use it and put all files in the same place... From here you can define different Infopackages to read those files at specific times during the day or whatever schedule you guys agree...
A thing with the naming convention... Try to avoid using timestamps on the names and keep the names to be always the same... That way you just overwrite the existing files, the space usage won't grow much and you can make the loads automatic with the same file names...
Just some ideas...

Passing parameter to process chain - logical file name

Hi,
Is there a way to pass a parameter to a process chain? Iu2019m trying to define logical file name (via transaction FILE) allowing to point on physical files name containing a parameter to be defined at run time. Is it possible?
Example, consider receiving file ending by a number representing its source system origin:
Filename_1 (file coming from syst 1)
Filename_2 (file coming from syst 2)
As both file have the same structure I would like to specify a single datasource Filename_n and a single process chain in which I would set the parameter n at run time. Is there a way to implement that?
I first thought about an Abap routine reading parameter in a table but than Filename_n canu2019t be treated in parallel u2026 Any other idea?
Cheers,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,
yes, it is possible to call the file paths with routine at infopackage.
if you have only 2 file and file names are constant, then you can create 2 infopackages and keep thse two in process chain.
Start
I
infopackage 1
I
Infopackage 2
and from applcation sever, these files will be loaded.
if upi have more files, you can write a routine at the selection of file path, in infopackage.

Mapping Quantity keyfigure in BI 7- Flat file datasource

Hi Guys,
I have a problem in creating transformations for Quantity key figure for flat file datasource. In my csv file quantity is just a number. i created a datasource and Infopackage and loaded data into PSA without any problem.
In cube i have quantity key figure of QUAN type with 0UNIT unit of measure. So when I try to map Quantity in datasource with quantity InfoObject, 0UNIT is empty. So I am unable to activate transformations.
Can somebody suggest me how to proceed with htis problem? Should I define Quantity key figure as just number?
Thank you in advance

Hi Sneralla,
you can take one more field on you flatfile.. as units(ex: KG or CM.. like that) beside of the quanity filed.. and now load it into PSA and now create transformations... and now map this units filed to newly added field...
you can try this option.. becasue.. when you are loading Quantity field data from flat file means we need to mention the units also..

Infpackage with logical file name having current year and month

Hello all,
I am using the FILE transaction to maintain the logical file name for infopackage loads in BW.This logicalfile name is to be assigned to physical csv file in AL11 directory.
This csv file would be having the current month and date at the end of the name for e.g for the month of April 2008,the file name would be say xx_200804.csv.I wanted to know if by using the palceholder <YEAR><MONTH> in the physical file name ,would the current month date and month be automatically concatenated at the end of file name ?Has anyone used this option before?

yes it does work,i tried out finally and the system picks current month and year

Using a Logical File definition in LSMW

Hi all,
is there any way that we can use a Logical File (defined in transaction FILE) as an application server file in the "specify files" step, instead of having to enter the physical path/file?
Thanks in advance,
Justin

Hello,
Check pages 46 and 47 of the following document :
[http://sapabap.iespana.es/manuales/pdf/lsmw.pdf|http://sapabap.iespana.es/manuales/pdf/lsmw.pdf]
You can only use a logical filename for subsequent programs (example direct input programs) not for the actual input file of your LSMW.

Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

Hi all,
We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded.
I understand we could use logical file for this purpose. However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename". However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given.
Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
Many thanks and best regards,
Victoria

Hi,
After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths' then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
hope this helps u to some extent.
Regards

File system error: The record ID is incorrect. Physical file: . Logical file:

Hi,
I face this error message when I try to 'process update' a dimention, sometime it works but sometime it failed with the error below:
Description: File system error: The record ID is incorrect. Physical file: . Logical file: .
My environment: Window Server 2008 R2+SQL Server 2008 R2.
Note: this issue can be resolved by full cube process, but I can't to that every time if it failed, just want to know what happen at backend of SSAS, It block me neary 2 week without any finding, really appreciate that someone can help on this.
I have do some research with google, I think the root cause here is not TopCount function(It may be a problem with SQL Server2005), also not the size limitation of 4GB size of .astore file.(I check the size of my cube under 'Data\XXX.db\' folder, which only
have few MB size).
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Here is a microsoft fix
FIX: "File system error" occurs when you try to run a process update operation on a dimension in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services and in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services
In your acenario, in order to fix this issue, please apply the latest Cumulative update and Service Pack according to your SQL Server version. Besides, there are two workarounds in that fix, plese try it and check if it works or not.

Error while creating logical file using transaction FILE

Hello there,
I am facing an error while creating Logical File name definition using transaction FILE
This is the input which I'm trying to give
Logical file name: ZTEST
Name : ZTEST
Physical file : ZTEST_1<DATE><TIME>.csv
Data format: ASC
Application area: BW
Logical path:ZTEST_1_DATAOUT
when I tried to save it throws me an error like ASSIGN_SUBSTRING_NOT_ALLOWED
Please help.

Hi,
Please check the OSS Notes :

SAP Note 1297989 - Short dump ASSIGN_SUBSTRING_NOT_ALLOWED
Hope this solves the problem.

LSMW - Logical File Path not pointing to Physical Path

Hi All,
I'm trying to upload some MIGO goods movement transactions through LSMW. I'm to step 7, specifying files, and am getting the error "No logical file path has been specified. I saw another thread which helped me, but I am still stuck after reading it.
Re: Error in Creation of Purchase Requisition through LSMW
I have gone into transaction FILE and created the logical file name MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT, and set the physical file as the .lsmw.conv converted data file as the above thread says. I also tried using the logical path LOCAL_TEMPORARY_FILES for the converted data, but I get the error telling me that the path does not point to a physical directory. I then tried creating my own file path, and setting the path to my desktop where the source file is, and the same error occurred.
Does anyone know why it is not recognizing the physical path maintained in the logical path?
Thanks,
J

Thanks for both replies,
I have full authorization across all transactions in the sandbox system I am working in, so that is not an issue. I filled the logical path field in the MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT logical file with LOCAL_TEMPORARY_FILES, as well as trying my own created file path, and I recieved the same error for each. Here is how the config is currently:
Logical File Path Definition: MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT
Syntax Group: WINDOWS NT
Physical path: C:\Documents and Settings\jchanski\Desktop\<FILENAME>
or,
Logical File Path Definition: LOCAL_TEMPORARY_FILES
Syntax Group: WINDOWS NT
Physical path: C:\temp\<FILENAME>
Logical File Name Definition: MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT
Physical file: MM_MM_MIGO_INVUPLOAD.lsmw.conv
Data format: ASC
Applicat.area: MM
Logical path: LOCAL_TEMPORARY_FILES or MM_GOODS_MOVEMENT
Do you see any error with this Brajvir? Thanks!

Creation of logical file while creating APD

Hello,
I am creating an APD in which Multiprovider as source and flat file as the target with some filter in between.
While defining the target as flat file, I have selected application server and logical file name.
Can any one please let me know how to create this file which should be selected from the list of files.
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
In order to create a file in the directory, you would need to write a ABAP program from your side.. like OPEN DATASET. or else Basis would help you to create this fro you.
Hope I understood your question...
