MAPPING FLAT FILE TO ORACLE ERROR!! Please help

hello all
I am using OWB on Oracle9i.
Trying to map flat file (file.txt) to oracle table,
Validate: okey, some warning
Generate/Deploy: successful.
But when I check to the database sqlplus there is no rows existed. I verify that I connect to the right database.
My question is:
When doing a map from flat file to oracle table. Do I have to have some thing in the middle such as (filter, join) or I just can do a straight mapping if I don't have any condition to filter out.
Please response if you know the answer.
Your answer greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help
Regards,

If you are using an OWB version which is 9.0.3.x or earlier, to load a flat file into the database, you should generate SQL loader files and run them either manually or by using a scheduler.
The new version (9.0.4) supports external tables, so you don't have to use SQL loader. Please refer to the user manual for more details.

Igor

Map FLAT file to oracle table using 9.04 version - PLS HELP!!!!

Hello all
I am having a problem with mapping a flat file to oracle table. The validation is successful, when I go to Project/Deployment manager. Try to deploy the mapping itself and the target table. It said succesful, and the last step is another "Deploy", this one is fail. Saying could not locate the file (which is a flat file) , but it is there on the server.
I have read all the help on line and follow what they show me, but still not work
Any ideas? Please provide detail answer if you know it.
Thank in advance

Hallo,
just give a rights on connector
Variant 1
1. connect to user sys
2. grant read,write on directory <connector_name> to <target_schema>;
or
Variant 2
1. as user sys or system give CREATE_ANY_DIRECTORY to <target_schema>
2. manualy make CREATE DIRECTORY <connector_name> as '<full_path_to_directory>';
and enjoy :)
PS: <connector_name> you can take from script CREATE_TABLE wisch in Generation phase was created!

Delete data from a flat file using PL/SQL -- Please help.. urgent

Hi All,
We are writing data to a flat file using Text_IO.Put_Line command. We want to delete data / record from that file after data is written onto it.
Please let us know if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.
Vaishali

There's nothing in UTL_FILE to do this, so your options are either to write a Java stored procedure to do it or to use whatever mechanism the host operating system supports for editing files.
Alternatively, you could write a PL/SQL procedure to read each line in from the file and then write them out to a second file, discarding the line you don't want along the way.

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

Uninstalling Oracle Client 8.0.5.0 And Getting Error - Please Help

Hi Gang
I have installed the Oracle 8.0.5.0 client on a server and now I can't get it off. When I run the install program and select everything to uninstall, it starts to process and then gives me the following error.
It was not possible to find a value for the variable 'rdbms80' in '$ORACLE'. It is therefore not possible to remove Required Support Files. Please restore the binding for 'rdbms80' in '$ORACLE' in order to remove Required Support Files.
Could you PLEASE help with this?
Thanks
Andy

I guess results are unpredictable when using such an old client, that was not written to handle pipelined functions. Presumably in its communication with the server it is sending the wrong information because it doesn't know what datatype it is dealing with.
You will also hit problems dealing with object and collection types in general, timestamps, intervals and WITH clauses. I've had no problems using the 10g client against a 9.2 database. Not only do you get a better version of SQL*Plus, but it solved some similar problems within PL/SQL Developer.

Hi John,
The source is csv file. By default all columns are string type.The integration is failing at step 3 ( load Data).
I am loading the data from csv file directly to staging table( oracle ).Its one to one mapping.

Hi,
You don't say what components you are trying to import into the EUL. But it could be that you are importing a business area which has security access granted to a user that is not defined on the target system. It could also be that the user you are using to do the import does not have admin access to all the components you are importing.

OWB - Flat file to oracle table

Second message, please read.
OS- Microsoft windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2
OWB client---9.0.3.33.0
OWB Repository--9.0.3.0.1
Database--oracle 9i Enterprise Edition 9.0.1.3.1 with the partioning option Jserver Release9.0.1.3.0
OEM--9.0.1.0.0
I have created mapping between the source(flat file)and target(oracle)using Oracle Warehouse Builder. Mapping was validated, configured and it successfully generated without errors. The ‘Deploy’ button and the ‘Run’ button are disabled. How can I run/deploy this mapping ?
The above OWB copy was downloaded from the Oracle corp website. Is this version an evaluation copy? Alternatively Is this a beta copy ?
Please help.

Dear All,
I have a problem with loading flat files to oracle tables using OWB 9.2
i created a map with my flat file as a source and my oracle table as a target,and i created a connector between the target location and the flat file location.And i deployed the connector and registered the flat file location using my PC information and the path of the files on my pc.
I generated the map and saved the .ctl file and deployed the map,and hence trying to load the ctl file using the sql loader as the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\CORAL 2000>sqlldr owb_rt_rep/owb_rt_rep@ofsa
control = D:\oracle2\ofsa\owb\codegen\BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP.ctl
---where owb_rt_rep is my runtime repository user.
I got the following error:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 18.
Expecting "(", found ".".
INTO TABLE "{{TRG_LOC1.Schema}}"."BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT"
--where trg_loc1 is my target location and bm_debit_cards_dat is my target table.
I tried to grant from the target schema the privelages to the runtime user incase its the problem,but still it didn't work.
Any ideas??

Flat file to Oracle Database - Invalid Month

Hi All
I am New to XI and trying to create a simple interface between Legacy system (flat file) and Oracle database.
I have some date fields in the Oracle table.
When i run the interface it says "invalid month" with some SQL exception number.
I am using (mm/dd/yyyy) format for the date.
Is there any conversion i need to do. I am using XML SQL format for Oracle database.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Nagakishore

Hello,
Oracle is very picky with the way date is stored. Assume that you have a field datefield that you need to save. In mapping add an attribute hasqQuote and set it to "NO". When mapping the value to the node use to_date as shown below.
<DateField hasQuot="No">
TO_DATE("2004-07-20", "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss")</DateField>
cheers,
Naveen

[Flat File Destination [220]] Error: Failed to write out column name for column "Column 2"

I am using SSIS to extract fixed width data into a flat file destination and I keep getting below error. I have tried almost everything in this forum but still no solution. can anyone help me out to solve this problem.
[Flat File Destination [220]] Error: Failed to write out column name for column "Column 2".

Hi Giss68,
Could you check the Advanced tab of the Flat File Connection Manager to see whether the InputColumnWidth and the OutputColumnWidth properties of the Column2 has the same value? Please refer to the following link about the same topic:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10292091/how-do-i-fix-failed-to-write-error-while-exporting-data-to-ragged-right-flat-fil
If it doesn’t work, please post the sample data and the advanced settings of Column2 for further analysis.

Conversion of fixed length flat files to oracle table

hello friends
Please help me getting the code for conversion of fixed length flat files to oracle table
Should the tables be pre-defined ?????
In this case the de-limiters are variable length spaces and not commas.Please help me with the same
Regards,
-Mahesh

You can use SQL*Loader to load fixed-width files into Oracle. Instructions on writing appropriate control files are in the Oracle Utilities manual
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch03.htm#1004687
You can also use external tables, assuming you're using 9i or later (the syntax for external table definitions is nearly identical to the syntax for SQL*Loader control files).
You'll need to create a table definition in Oracle. You can either create a "normal" table and use SQL*Loader to populate it or you can create an external table definition.

Extracting a flat file from oracle table

I have moved the knowledge module KIM ISO SQL to FileAppend from the Metadata to my project folder.
But when I create an interface mapping the oracle table and a flat file on a different unix server, in the drop down menu , it shows only KIM SQL TO SQL and KIM Control Append.It does not show up the SQL to FileAppend knowledge module option.
What should I do to extract a flat file from oracle table?
Thanks

Overstock.com

All IKM in the Drop Down Menu are dependent of the target technology.
A question, at this interface, is your target table a file ?

Flat file to Oracle: Dynamic flat file name

Hi,
I am doing a transformation from flat file to oracle.
At one place there is requirement like flat file name is dynamic.
*eg. D:\ Flat DB\ Sample<Date>.txt
examples may be like Sample09012012,Sample08012012 *
As in physical schema we specify name of file is there any way by which we can specify dynamic file name.
as stated above.
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
Yes you can specify a variable in the file name ( the resource name filed) .
You need to refresh the variable in a package and then use the interface to pick data from the file .
Thanks,
