ODS to ASCI File

I have data coming to ODS. And data is staged in ODS. How to extract the ODS Data to ASCI file. Can we to do this using ABAP. If any of your Gurus did this before please help me here.
Thanx

Hi Pradeep,
so if you want to use abap, just create a report with select-options as you like and do a
select * into table itab from /BI0/<ODSNAME>00 "or /BIC/<ODSNAME>00
where select-options.
After that, download itab using method
cl_gui_frontend_services->gui_download
in case you want to have the file on your workstation or using
open dataset
transfer dataset
close dataset
in case you want to have the file on a server.
Hope this is of some help
regards

Non-character-type structure need to be written in ASCI File in Unicode sys

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to write a structure into a ASCI file iapplication server.
My code is as follows.
data : ls_header type BBP_PDS_CTR_HEADER_D ,
       lv_filename TYPE rlgrap-filename VALUE '/interface/AEE/IN/kalandi'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
   I_OBJECT_ID               = '4000000196'
IMPORTING
   E_HEADER                  = ls_header.
open dataset lv_filename for output in text mode encoding default .
if sy-subrc = 0.
transfer ls_header to lv_filename.
close dataset lv_filename.
endif.
but it ives a dump .
Error is :
    "TRANSFER f TO ..."
only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position
"f".
In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type
"BBP_PDS_CTR_HEADER_D". The
current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
regarded as non-character-type.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Points will be awared for appropriate Answers.

kalandi

Hi,
I think here ls_header and lv_filename are not compatible to transfer the data.

Convert Large Binary File to Large ASCI File

Hello, I need some suggestions on how to convert a large binary file > 200MB to an ASCI File. I have a program that streams data to disk in binary format and now I would like to either add to my application or create a new app if necessary. Here is what I want to do:
Open the Binary File
Read a portion of the File into an array
Convert the array to ASCI
Save the array to a file
Go back and read more binary data
Convert the array to ASCI
Append the array to the ASCI file
Keep converting until the end of the binary file.
I should say that the binary data is 32-bits and I do need to parse the data; bits 0-11, bits 12-23, and bits 31-28, but I can figure that out later. The problem I see is that the file will be very large, perhaps even greater than 1GB and I don't have a clue how to read a portion of the file and come back and read another portion and then stop at the end of the file. I hope to save the data in a spreadsheet. If anyone has some experience with a similiar situation I'd appreciate any input or example code.
Thanks,
joe

sle,
In the future, please create a new thread for unrelated questions. To answer your question, you can use "Split Number" from the Data Manipulation palette.

Convert Binary File to ASCI File

Hello, I'm having a little trouble writing a labview program to read a binary file and save it to an ASCI file. The binary file may be large so I've tried to read the file in chunks. I will appreciate any help you could offer. I've attached my .vi below
thanks,
joe

I don't really understand what you mean by "the data from the binary file are really huge numbers and don't match what is expected". Are you specifying the correct datatype to the Read function?
As far as your VI is concerned: Your initial statements indicated that you wanted to read this in chunks since you're dealing with very large files. However, while your VI reads in one number at a time, it writes out the whole thing in one big chunk. This is going to be a huge memory draw. You need to write the data to the ASCII file at the same time as when you read it, not after you've read it all. Given this, it makes no sense to only read one number at a time as you're doing. You're going to be performing a disk I/O operation for each number! This is going to take forever, not to mention take a nice bite out of the life expectancy of your hard drive. I don't say this often, but you need to restructure your VI to something like this:
1. Provide dialog to ask for the file to read.
2. Provide dialog to ask for the file to write to.
3. Write out your header to the output file.
4. Start a loop where the number of iterations is based on the number of times you have to read the file using a max chunk size. This is based on the file size and the size of the chunk that you're comfortable in reading. The chunk size is dependent on your machine - i.e., speed and amount of RAM.
5. Read that many numbers and write out the converted numbers.
6. Repeat until done.
7. Close both files.
See attached file as a starting point. The error handling is not that great, so keep that in mind.

Webutil_file_transfer.Client_To_AS_with_progress to transfer asci files

Hi,
I am using webutil_file_transfer.Client_To_AS_with_progress to transfer the file from local
directory to the application servers. But I found that it transfers with binary mode.
How can I transfer with asci mode since what I upload are sql scripts.
Thanks.
Ivan

Hello,
What is the problem with the binary mode?
You could loose information by transfering a binary file in ASCII mode, but you would loose nothing by transfering an ASCII file in binary mode.
Anyway, there is no option to set the mode transfert.

Hi,
If you haven't set the delta mode, then initialize the IP and then run a Delta load from next.

How to load delta, changing the name of file for every day with open hub?

Hi gurus,
I load daily delta data from ODS to flat file, using open hub.
The file is located on server. Now, if I do delta load from ODS to flat file, every day the file is overwritten, because it has the same name.
I want to load delta data everyday to different file name, for example BW_20060101 , BW_20060102, BW_2006_01_03 ....
How do I do that?
Best regards,

Error handling when loading flate files

Hi
We have a Process Chain loading flate files from a server into a ODS. We want to create a routine to avoid errors in the ODS when no files is found.
The error we want to handle is
Error 1 when loading external data
Message no. RSAR234
We want to handle this error message as OK to avoid red request in the ODS
Please help
Kind regards
Ola Einar Langen

Hi, and thanks for your hints.
We ended up with the following codes. It's will mark the prosess chain red (but this is as wanted) but we have implemented that the prosess chain will proceed even with error in the loading process
The code for the routine implemented in the infopackage in "External data" tab.
p_filename = 'filename.txt.
OPEN DATASET p_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
If file could not be open
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
p_subrc = SY-SUBRC.
delete the current request
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_DELETE_REQUEST'.
ENDIF.
close the file if OK
CLOSE DATASET p_filename.
p_subrc = 0.
The solution is no OK for us
Kind regards

Urgent: Flat file load issue

Hi Guru's,
Doing loading in data target ODS via flat file, problem is that flat files shows date field values correct of 8 characters but when we do preview it shows 7 characters and loading is not going through.
Anyone knows where the problem is why in the preview screen it shows 7 characters of date when flat file has 8 characters.
Thanks
MK

Hi Bhanu,
How do i check if conversion is specified or not and another thing is it is not just one field we have 6 date fields and all of them are showing 7 characters in PSA after loading where as flat file have 8 characters in all of the 6 date fields.
In PSA I checked the error message it shows 2 error messages:
First Error message:
The value '1# ' from field /BIC/ZACTDAYS is not convertible into the
DDIC data type QUAN of the InfoObject in data record 7 . The field
content could not be transferred into the communication structure
format.
em Response
The data to be loaded has a data error or field /BIC/ZACTDAYS in the
transfer structure is not mapped to a suitable InfoObject.
The conversion of the transfer structure to the communication structure
was terminated. The processing of data records with errors was continued
in accordance with the settings in error handling for the InfoPackage
(tab page: Update Parameters).
Check the data conformity of your data source in the source system.
On the 'Assignment IOBJ - Field' tab page in the transfer rules, check
the InfoObject-field assignment for transfer-structure field
/BIC/ZACTDAYS .
If the data was temporarily saved in the PSA, you can also check the
received data for consistency in the PSA.
If the data is available and is correct in the source system and in the
PSA, you can activate debugging in the transfer rules by using update
simulation on the Detail   tab page in the monitor. This enables you to
perform an error analysis for the transfer rules. You need experience of
ABAP to do this.
2nd Error Message:
Diagnosis
The transfer program attempted to execute an invalid arithmetic
    operation.
System Response
Processing was terminated, and indicated as incorrect. You can carry out
    the update again any time you choose.
Procedure
1. Check that the data is accurate.
-   In particular, check that the data types, and lengths of the
            transferred data, agree with the definitions of the InfoSource,
            and that fixed values and routines defined in the transfer rules
-   The error may have arisen because you didn't specify the
         existing headers.
2. If necessary, correct the data error and start processing again.
Thanks

Error in ODS data load

Hi,
I am trying to load data to ODS from CSV file but one of the field is not getting updated.
Although, that field has data in PSA. Why is it happening???

Hi,
Is the request loaded without errors to the ODS? Check the mapping for the field in the update rules, if you are doing it in 3.x or check the Tranformations.
Hope it helps.

Deactivate delta update before deleting the request from ODS

Hi all,
Happy New Year wishes to all.
I have a scenario, where I am feeding the data to ODS from flat file and from ODS to Cube. Here ODS is a Data mart. Flat file to ODS full update and ODS to Cube First Initialization and Delta.
I deleted the latest request from ODS, at the I got the message dialog box and it is saying that
Request 98888 already retrieved by data target BWVCLNT
Delta update in data target BWVCLNT must be deactivate before deleting the request
Do you want to deactivate the delta update in data target BWVCLNT?
So I pressed Execute changes, then after I loaded the data in to ODS and when I am trying to load the data into Cube, once I pressed execute button it is displaying the message dialog box like
Delta request is incorrect REQXXXXXXX in the monitor
A repeat needs to be requested
Data target still include delta request REQXXXXX
If the repeat is now loaded, then after the load
There could be duplicate data in the data targets
Request the repeat?
After execute changes it is showing only zero Records only.
What is that mean and why zero records it is displaying instead of delta records.
Anybody faces this type of problem please let me know. This is somewhat urgent to me
Thanks and Regards
Satish Chowdary

<i>Hi Satish,
First Switch off the ODS ( automatic Update of Datatarget ) , though not really necessary. delete the Req from the Infocube, then delete from the ODS . Now delete the Init Req from the Infopackage for datamart infopackage.then Do an Init without datatransfer into Infocube. Later load data into ODS and then go for delta update to Infocube.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Krish

Tracking history while loading from flat file

Dear Experts
I have a scenario where in have to load data from flat file in regular intervals and also want to track the changes made to the data.
the data will be like this and it keep on changes and the key is P1,A1,C1.
DAY 1---P1,A1,C1,100,120,100
DAY 2-- P1,A1,C1,125,123,190
DAY 3-- P1, A1, C1, 134,111,135
DAY 4-- P1,A1,C1,888,234,129
I am planing to load data into an ODS and then to infocube for reporting what will be the result and how to track history like if i want to see what was the data on Day1 and also current data for P1,A1,C1.
Just to mention as i am loading from flat file i am not mapping RECORDMODE in ODS from flat file..
Thanks and regards
Neel

Hi
You don't mention your BI release level, so I will assume you are on the current release, SAP NetWeaver BI 2004s.
Consider loading to a write-optimized DataStore object, to strore the data. That way, you automatically will have a unqiue technical key for each record and it will be kept for historical purposes. In addition, load to a standard DataStore object which will track the changes in the change log. Then, load the cube from the change log (will avoid your summarization concern), as the changes will be updates (after images) in the standard DataStore Object.
Thanks for any points you choose to assign

System exec - Not finding a file

Hi,
I am using the system exec vi to call a patch file that prints a .txt. or .prn file depending on the request of the user. I was ahving some issues with it not being able to find the batch file however I have solved that but now i get this error from the standard output string:
Error: could not open print_test.txt for reading
print_test.txt is the file it is trying to print. I am not sure what is causing this
any ideas would be appreciated
Thank you

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the post and I hope your well today.
There are maximum limits, imposed by Windows , on how long you can have an ASCI file name and the full path as follows:
MAX_FILE_NAME is 256
MAX_PATH is 260
I beleive this is correct ... however does seem to be some confusiong. You can make your own mind from a very resources...
