Migrating flat file in OBIEE from Windows to AIX

Hello guys
I have a rpd built in my local windows environment and now it is ready to be pushed into Dev environment.. In my rpd, I have some flat files imported and configure for reporting, and the files are located in a windows directory..
My concern is, after migrating my rpd to Dev environment, since the DEV OBIEE server is running on AIX server, it may disconnect from flatfile DB in windows and result in no being able to report against the flat file..
Have you guys ever encounter such case? and how do you go about dealing with it?
Your thoughts are much appreciated
Thank you

Mark,
You should be able to binary transfer the fmb / pll across and then recompile.
Anything windows specific would be a show stopper, otherwise I haven't had problems (also going back from Link to Windows) - but then my Forms are usually pretty simple.
The biggest pain is case sensitivity - Unix is and Windows isn't. You should standard all file names if you can and the biggest pain are the attached libraries - especially with Designer Generated Forms as one of them is InitCapped somewhere. For this I usually have to create an FMT / PLD and see what the form thinks the library is actually called in the attachment. Have fun!

  • Can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003.

    Hi,
    We want to know can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003 server; if yes, please share with us the OS migration document.
    Regards,
    R Mav

    > Our SAP 4 O B is on windows NT and oracle version is 8.0.5 and wants to do OS migration from NT to win. 2003.
    Neither Oracle 8.0 nor 8i were releases on Windows 2003, they won't work and are not released.
    So I'm afraid the only way you can go is Windows 2000.

  • Query using flat file in the FROM Statement

    I have a flat file that contains about 10k rows that I need to join to a table with 2million plus rows. My problem is I cannot load the flat file into a Oracle table or create a new table to contain the 10k rows because I lack of permissions to create table on my user account. I have tried using MS-Access to query the two tables using ODBC, but the query times were horribly slow and would time out. I was curious if there is a way of calling the flat file as a table in my SQL statement from Oracle?
    I know the following doesn't work but I was wondering if there is something out there that would allow me to do something like the following?
    example:
    SELECT a.COL1, a.COL2, ff.COLa, FF.COLb
    FROM apple a, c:\temp\flat_file.csv ff
    WHERE a.COLa=ff.COLa
    db version - 10g
    OS - Windows XP Pro
    Thanks in Advance!

    Thanks in Advance!Is there some reason you cannot get the data loaded into the local database?
    If you absolutely cannot (either through creating and loading objects, or having someone else do it for you) i would likely recommend installing your own database (Oracle XE is free and will easily handle your flat file)
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/downloads/index.html
    I would install that, load your data into a schema you create, and then create a database link to the remote database and use that in your query.
    I would highly push you to work with the administrators of the database though and get them to set you up a schema where you can create objects (with access to the objects in other schemas that you require, if only read permitted).

  • Flat file header diferent from remaining file (function module GUI_UPLOAD)

    Hello gurus,
    I need to upload a flat file but the header is the control record with the number of lines in the file, and has a diferent structure from remaining file records.
    I'm using GUI_UPLOAD in ASCII mode for the flat file and my first line with the control record does not "fit" the structure of the remaining records.
    Whats the best way I read diferent line structures in the flat file so I can have a counter from the first line and all other lines in an internal table?
    Using GUI_UPLOAD twice with diferent internal tables will have performance degraded...
    regards.

    Hi,
    Declare an itab as
    ITAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF STRING
    Variable for Tab limited
    data :gc_con_tab TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
    pass the control record to the internal table first then.
    loop at it_final into wa_final.
    concatenating gc_con_tab will add TABs in your output.
    CONCATENATE wa_final-f1 wa_final-f2
    into ITABl separated by gc_con_tab.
    append ITAB.
    endloop.
    Then use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download ITAB.

  • BPC 7.5 will extract data from flat file or directly from cube

    Hi,
        i have a doubt plz give me a solution.
    1) previously our BPC 7.0 team extracted data from BI 7.0 through flat file, but now they have upgraded to BPC 7.5 i want to know whether BPC 7.5  will extract directly from our BW infocube or not.
    2) please let me know how data extracted from BPC 7.5.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    If your import file has duplicate record in it then the Status of your DM package for import ends with warning, where all the records in your file might have got accepted but only one last data rows amoung the duplicate rows might have got submitted to the system.
    The duplicate records will be rejected and you can see the list of duplicate records as well in the DM package status report.
    Like Nilanjan said you can use Append DM Pacakge to submit all duplicate records aswell into the system. But here the problem is it appends the data in flat file with data available in the system.
    Say you have 100 for account1 in the system and you run Append DM Package having values duplicate values for account1 say 100 and 200. So after the Append Package execution you will have 100100200= 400 for account1.
    So for Append DM package to work in the same way as import, run clear package before executing the Append package.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • SAPDB migration from Windows to AIX

    Dear all:
    We are planning to do the content server migration. SAPDB7.3 to MaxDB7.6, from Windows2000 IA32 to AIX 64bit. I checked note 962019, but get confused on one point,
    Note 962019 said "You must use the same binary-compatible loader for the entire export an import", it means in my case I have to use the AIX 64bit "loadercli" tool to export the SAPDB on my Windows IA32 system, Can the AIX 64bit version "loadercli" tool run on Windows IA32 system? How can I install the AIX64 bit loadercli on the my Windows 2000 system? I checked note 649814 on how to install the SAPDB/MAXDB client software including loadercli, but they're different patch package for windows and AIX. I don't know how to install the AIX loader on the Windows platform.
    Who has done this kind of migration before? Please give some advice.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Donglin,
    I believe that I answered your question in the other thread.
    So you may close this one.

  • Process for Flat file delta load from Application server to transactional??

    I want to do a flat file extraction in delta loads from application server and that should be loaded into a transactional cubes scheduling a process chain.
    Can any one help with ABAP code and step by step process for this?
    Thank you
    Devi

    Hi Devi,
    As per your explaination, you want to load a list of files from application server using process chain.
    You can do this with below steps.
    1) Create a Event and call event to run Process chain multiple times.
    2) Put all filenames in a file say, source-File
    3) Write a rooting to read filename from Source-File and trigger InfoPackage
    4) At the end of the process chain create new customized program which will delete first line from Source-File so that it will take next file in next run as well as delete currently loaded file. Once this is done trigger event again to start process chain again.

    Is there a way to read files on mac when I work on Windows?

    Hi,
    yes there is.
    It's called MacDrive and you have to buy it: http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

  • Can i migrate my files and programs from one mac book to another

    I have 2 macbook pros 13.3  april 2010 release
    one has a 250gb drive and the other 500gb
    both are running lion - after upgrading from snow leopard
    I have al my adobe creative suite and mac office on the machine with 250gb hard drive - i want to transfer all my files and applications including adobe and mac office to the 500gb machine - can this be done via migration assistant? are there things i need to check etc before doing this
    i am assuming the 250gb will be empty afterwards- i am not expecting to have 2 copies of the files and applications
    Thanks for taking a look at my question

    You can do that through Migration Assistant without any problem. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    There are different ways to connect both Macs in order to transfer the files. As both computers have got FireWire, I recommend you to buy a FireWire cable, connect it to both computers and run Migration Assistant. Doing this, the transfer will be faster and much reliable than with Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Also, check > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html

  • Trimming HD video files for export from Windows to After Effects on a MAC

    Hi,
    I have some .MTS files created using 2 HD camcorders:
    1) Panasonic HDC-TM700 which shoots full HD @ 1920 x 1080 and
    2) JVC Everio GZ-HM550 which shoots the same HD resolution
    I am working with PP CS5 on Windows 7
    I need to trim some small pieces (5 -10 seconds) out of many of the .MTS files to send to someone using After Effects MAC and FC Pro
    In trying to keep the highest HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, the number of choices to select when creating a new sequence and then when exporting from PP is confusing.
    Note: I notice that 2 clips I have in my PP project bin at the same time have different frame rates which I believe that 1 each came from my different cameras:
    file 1) 29.97fps 48000hz compressed stereo
    file 2) 59.94fps 48000hz compressed 5.1
    Can anyone guide me here on sequence and export settings & codecs to maintain the HD resolution and least loss of quality on export?
    Will the 2 different frame rates prior to export cause any issues? I'm assuming PP will re-interpret for output.
    Thanks

    > I understand the files are not compressed.
    You misunderstand. The files are compressed. But they're compressed without losing any information. Losslessly compressed movies are a lot smaller than uncompressed movies---but they're still bigger than movies compressed with a lossy codec that would be more suitable for final delivery and distribution.
    > How long are the movies your associate sends you and approx what do file sizes look like?
    I tend to work on individual clips that are from several seconds to a few minutes long. They're usually a small number of GB each. Don't fret about large file sizes for intermediate files. Making movies small matters when you're streaming them for final delivery, not when you're handing over a hard disk or using an FTP server to exchange files for post-production work.

  • Open files in Builder from Windows Explorer

    Hi,
    As I'm browsing files with Windows Explorer (on XP SP2) I
    want to be able to double click on a file with a certain extension
    (.xml, .java, etc.) have have it open up in Builder/eclipse. Using
    the normal way of doing file associations ("Open With..."), I get a
    "workspace in use" error (and the file still doesn't open). This
    seems like it should be a slam dunk, I did this with JDeveloper all
    the time - is it not possible with Eclipse? Thanks.

    are you able to open a file from explorer when eclipse is not
    running. ie - is it loading files whileu have eclipse already open
    thats the problem?
    if so, this is because eclipse is trying to run a second
    eclipse. there is a way to tell applications that they can only
    open once. if this is whats happening, i'll have a look at it, i
    know i made a note about ths for something else last year, but just
    cant remember right now.
    i agree tho, it should be set to work in this way as
    standard.
    cheers fella.
