MAPPING USING FLAT FILE SOURCE MODULE

I created a mapping using a flat file as source and a dimension as target, I've already configure both modules and their locations.
When I try to deploy this mapping in the deploy manager, it generates the script for the control file and when I hit the deploy button it says that the deploy was succesfull, but I really don�t know what it did.
Does it put the file in my target schema?, what do I suposs to do next?

Hi,
So,i don't have to manually run the sql loader from the command prompt???
All i have to do is Execute the map normally from the deployment manager and it will load the .ctl file itself.Ok great,i did so but i got the following error:
Starting Execution BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP
Starting Task BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP
C:\Documents and Settings\CORAL 2000\Desktop\Flat filesBM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP.ctl (The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.)
RPE-01008: Recovery of this request is in progress.
RPE-01009: Completion of this task could not be completed due to an earlier system failure.
Completing Task BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP
Completing Execution BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP
So are there any permissions i should grant or what?

  • How to create the Export Data and Import Data using flat file interface

    Hi,
    Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
    Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
    BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data. 
    For each SNP InfoProvider,
    create:
    1) Export Data:
    1.a)  Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
    ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider. 
    1.b)  All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file. 
    1.c)  A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event. 
    1.d)  If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten. 
    1.e)  The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
    1.f)  Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
    2) Import Data:
    2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
    ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
    2.b)  All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
    2.c)  A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event. 
    2.d)  The file should be archived in the
    ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory.  Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format.  Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived. 
    Thanks in advance.

    Here's some info on working with plists:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/Introduc tion/chapter1_section1.html
    They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

  • Object reference not set to an instance of an object error when generating a schema using flat file schema wizard.

    I have a csv file that I need to generate a schema for. I am trying to generate a schema using flat file schema wizard but I keep getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error when I am clicking on the Next button after
    specifying properties of the child elements on the wizard. At the end I get schema file generated but it contains an empty root record with no child elements.
    I thought may be this is because I didn't have my project checked out from the Visual SourceSafe db first but I tried again with the project checked out and got the same error.
    I also tried creating a brand new project and generating a schema for it but got the same error.
    I am not sure what is causing Null Reference exception to be thrown and there is nothing in the Windows event log that would tell me more about the problem.
    I am using Visual Studio 2008 for my BizTalk development.
    I would appreciate if some has any insides on this issue.

    Hi,
    To test your environment, create a new BizTalk project outside of source control.
    Create a simple csv file on the file system.
    Name,City,State
    Bob,New York,NY
    Use the Flat file schema Wizard to create the flat file schema from your simple csv instance.
    Validate the schema.
    Test the schema using your csv instance.
    This will help you determine if everything is ok with you environment.
    Thanks,

  • How to load hierrarchies using dtp  using flat file  in bw  ineed clear ste

    how to load hierrarchies using dtp  using flat file  in bw  ineed clear steps

    Hi,
    If you want to load InfoObjects in the form of hierarchies, you have to activate the indicator with hierarchies for each of the relevant InfoObjects in the InfoObject maintenance. If necessary, you need to specify whether the whole hierarchy or the hierarchy structure is to be time-dependent, whether the hierarchy can contain intervals, whether additional node attributes are allowed (only when loading using a PSA), and which characteristics are allowed.
    1.Defining the source system from which you want to load data:
    Choose Source System Tree ® Root (Source System) ® Context menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create.
    For a flat file, choose: File System, Manual Metadata; Data via File Interface.
    2.Defining the InfoSource for which you want to load data:
    Optional: Choose InfoSource Tree ®Root (InfoSources) ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create Application Component.
    Choose InfoSource Tree ® Your Application Component ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Create InfoSource ® Direct Update
    Choose an InfoObject from the proposal list, and specify a name and a description.
    3.Assigning the source system to the InfoSource
    Choose InfoSource tree ® Your Application Component ® One of your InfoSources ® Context Menu (Right Mouse Button) ® Assign Source System. You are taken automatically to the transfer structure maintenance.
    The system automatically generates DataSources for the three different data types to which you can load data.
          Attributes
          Texts
          Hierarchies (if the InfoObject has access to hierarchies)
    The system automatically generates the transfer structure, the transfer rules, and the communication structure (for attributes and texts).
    4.Maintaining the transfer structure / transfer rules
    Choose the DataSource to be able to upload hierarchies.
    Idoc transfer method: The system automatically generates a proposal for the DataSource and the transfer structure. This consists of an entry for the InfoObject, for which hierarchies are loaded. With this transfer method, during loading, the structure is converted to the structure of the PSA, which affects performance.
    PSA transfer method: The transfer methods and the communication structure are also generated here. 
    5.Maintaining the hierarchy:
    Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy.
    PSA Transfer Method: You have the option here to set the Remove Leaf Value and Node InfoObjects indicator. As a result, characteristic values are not transferred into the hierarchy fields NODENAME, LEAFFROM and LEAFTO as is normally the case, but in their own transfer structure fields.  This option allows you to load characteristic values having a length greater than 32 characters.
    Characteristic values with a length > 32 can be loaded into the PSA, but they cannot be updated in characteristics that have a length >32.
    The node names for pure text nodes remain restricted to 32 characters in the hierarchy (0HIER_NODE characteristic).
    The system automatically generates a table with the following hierarchy format (for sorted hierarchies without removed leaf values and node InfoObjects):
    Description
    Field Name
    Length
    Type
    Node ID
    NODEID
    8
    NUMC
    InfoObject name
    INFOOBJECT
    30
    CHAR
    Node name
    NODENAME
    32
    CHAR
    Catalog ID
    LINK
    1
    CHAR
    Parent node
    PARENTID
    8
    NUMC
    First subnode
    CHILDID
    8
    NUMC
    Next adjacent node
    NEXTID
    8
    NUMC
    Language key
    LANGU
    1
    CHAR
    Description - short
    TXTSH
    20
    CHAR
    Description - medium
    TXTMD
    40
    CHAR
    Description- long
    TXTLG
    60
    CHAR
    The system transfers the settings for the intervals and for time-dependency from the InfoObject maintenance. Depending on which settings you have defined in the InfoObject maintenance, further table fields can be generated from the system.
    The valid from and valid to field is filled if you select Total Hierarchy Time-dependent in the InfoObject maintenance. The time-dependent indicator is activated if you select the Hierarchy Nodes Time-dependent option in the InfoObject maintenance.
    6.Save your entries.
    Depending on which settings you defined in the InfoObject maintenance, additional fields can be generated from the system. Also note the detailed description for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via an IDoc and for Structure of a Flat Hierarchy File for Loading via a PSA.

    Hi Yaron,
    Does the file stored in local file system or a share folder on remote server? If you can load data from a file in local computer, but cannot load data from a file in a remote computer, the issue may be caused by the Kerberos authentication. In this condition,
    check the following points:
    Enable SQL Server for Kerberos
    Check delegation settings for SQL Server service account and Computer
    Add Host SPNs for FileShare Server and SQL Server

  • SSIS Flat File Source not populating varchar column

    I have SSIS package that imports flat files with column separator | from "Flat File Source" into the database trough "OLE DB Destination".
    For one of the columns (file contains UIDs in curly brackets) destination column is varchar(250) null-able, when "Retain nulls" is set to true complete data have been imported, but when "Retain nulls" is set to false beside fact that in
    the file data is not null and it is not empty string it is not imported and in the destination column is empty string.
    I know that this "Retain nulls" applies to the columns that contains NULLs but this is not the case.
    If someone have experience with such issue please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    From your statement it looks like when you have curly brackets it skips the value and inserts nulls instead. And that may be the reason why its working fine when you change retain null value. 
    I would suggest 
    Make your setting "retain null" to true and load the flat file, then check what happens to the values having curly braces (is there any value or null) , if there is value we need to check for that(please share a sample file). And if it having null
    instead of "{value}", I would suggest to put a script task to remove { from your flat file and then try load the data.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to use 'flat file extraction' option in Infospoke

    Hello Gurus,
    We are trying to extract the BW data using Infospoke to a 3rd party ETL tool (Datastage). Now in the current BW 3.5 release, the customer is on SP11 and we are not able to extract any data using a 3rd party system option in Infospoke. Due to the fact, we found out from SAP, that since we are getting an error (3rd party system is not set)in infospoke, we have to upgrade the SP level from 11 to either 16 or 17. The customer that we are dealing with is not going to do that until July - 2007.
    So now we have a second option to load the 'flat file' in BW App. server and FTP to Datastage. Is this something workable option?
    When using that option within Infospoke destination Tab, we can see two options. One is to use File option and load the data within the standard DIR HOME. I tried that but I can't see the file and the entire data within the standard directory. Can anyone explain why and what will be the procedure to follow?
    The second option is to use Logical file. I never done that before. Can anyone explain step by step process or provide the detail document and/or link?
    Since we are at the critical timeframe stage, I would appreciate if I can get the faster response from the Gurus.
    I will make sure to give 'reward points' to each and every helpful answer(s).
    thanks in advance,
    Maulesh

    Hi shashi,
    first, let me clarify one thing here! I am not saying '3rd party tool' as an option in infospoke. I know Infospoke provides only two options (DB table, and file). But when you use DB table option, you check mark on 3rd party destination and that's where you define an RFC destination for 3rd party tool. So when you execute an infospoke, it will start extracting data and load into the defined destination. Since we are on SP11 on BW 3.5 release, we are getting an error while executing an Infospoke using 'DB table option'. The error is like '3rd party destination is not set'. When I went to Marketplace and found an OSS note, I found out that we need an upgrade on SP level (upto 17).
       As I mentioned earlier, the client doesn't want to upgrade until next year, and we are at the critical timeframe stage, where we have to make a decision whether we hold this project until the SP upgrade happens or found alternate approach where we can extract the data from BW (somehow) and load into Teradata database via Datastage - BW Pack (3rd party ETL).
       So we might be able to use the second option in Infospoke destination, which is to use 'Flat file' load.
       Now when I use File option with App. server checked, the data loads into default Server and directory on BW. Which is DIR_HOME. I can see those file extracted and loaded into that directory under the transaction AL11. But I can't see any data. Do you think I have to request for an increase in size limit? If I see all the data, how can I FTP from the BW server? Do I have to work with SAP Basis or create a UNIX script?
       When I use Logical file name, I guess I have to follow what you have described on your response, correct? Can i use an existing Logical path and file name? Do you have a 'How to' document on creating YEAR and PER FM? Is it possible that Basis can do this work for us? What happens after we assign a logical Path and logical file name into the destination tab on Infospoke? What is the use of logical file versus file? Overall, I am looking for a process from extracting the data from Infospoke using either file or logical file, all the way to load into 3rd party database.
      looking forward for your response!
    thanks,
    Maulesh

    Hi
    Try RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL (SE38).
    You may also check SAP Note 861890 - ODS tables disappear during the upgrade -
    and activate all ODS Objects before the upgrade and run the program RSDG_ODSO_ACTIVATE.
    also that with Stack 14 an extended version of this program is available together with the
    Program RSUPGRCHECK. If errors occurs, consult also SAP Note 518426 and run transaction
    RSSGPCLA for the regeneration of the RSDRO_* Objects.
    Recheck whether you have Exported with correct parameters or not -- Try to Re Export the Same with all necessary objects .
    Try Note 524554 and 325525 also

  • Loading Hierarchies using flat file

    Hi experts,
    I have requirement to load hierarchies using flat file.
    I have to create hier on Person Responsible, sub nodes are Sales Office, Project Definition, Project Type and Project Definition Description. I have file, i need to load into BW.
    I dont know much about hier loading, can you tell me what are the Attributes to be inserted and how to prepare the hier loading file which contains HIENM, VERSION, HCLASS, DATEFROM and DATETO.
    I dont know these fields are enough to load my hier.
    I have created one hier, when i try to activate it's giving error like ' no data exists'.
    Can anyone tell me how to prepare file to load into hierarchy?
    Thanks in advance,
    Venky

    Hi Venkatesh,
    There are several formats to load a hierarchy via file. The following two are the commonly used formats.
    1) Default
    Node ID                     NODEID
    InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
    Node Name     NODENAME
    Link Name     LINK
    HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
    Language Key     LANGU
    Description - Short     TXTSH
    Description - Medium     TXTMD
    Description - Long     TXTLG
    2) Sorted
    Node ID                     NODEID
    InfoObject Name     INFOOBJECT
    Node Name     NODENAME
    Link Name     LINK
    HghrLvlNode     PARENTID
    First Subnode     CHILDID
    Next Node Along     NEXTID
    Language Key     LANGU
    Description - Short     TXTSH
    Description - Medium     TXTMD
    Description - Long     TXTLG
    If Default format is used, the sequence of node IDs appeared in the flat file determines the structure of the hierarchy. Whereas the sorted hierarchy format defines the structure via PARENTID, CHILDID, NEXTID relationship.
    You make the selection in DataSource/Tran.Structure tab of InfoSource Page by clicking on the "Hier. Structure button.
    Good luck!
