Oracle API for Extended Analytics Flat File extract issue

I have modified the Extended Analytics SDK application as such:
HFMCONSTANTSLib.EA_EXTRACT_TYPE_FLAGS.EA_EXTRACT_TYPE_FLATFILE
instead of
HFMCONSTANTSLib.EA_EXTRACT_TYPE_FLAGS.EA_EXTRACT_TYPE_STANDARD
I am trying to figure out where the Flat file extract is placed once the Extract is complete. I have verified that I am connecting to HFM and the log file indicates all the steps in the application have completed successfully.
Where does the FLATFILE get saved/output when using the API?
Ultimate goal is to create a flat file through an automated process which can be picked up by a third party application.
thanks for your help,
Chris

Never mind. I found the location on the server.

Extended Analytics Flat File extract in ANSI

Hi,
Version: EPM 11.1.2.1
The Flat file extract using Extended Analytics from HFM is exported in UNICODE format. Is there any option to get the export in ANSI code format?
Thanks,
user8783298

Hi
In the latest version, Currently the data from HFM can be exported only in UNICODE format. There is a defect filed to Oracle for the same.
At present the only workaround is to change the file encoding after it has been extracted, using third party software.
For example, the extracted file can be opened using Windows Notepad and then desired encoding format can be selected when the file is saved using option Save As.
Hope this helps.
thank you

Generic and Flat file extraction

Hi experts
can any body send the Real time scenario for Generic and flat file extraction with examples.
Thanks and regrds,
satya

Hi,
Generic extraction is an extraction where you create a Generic DS and based upon this you would be extracting the data from R/3, which means you would have an source system to extract the generic data from the generic data source.
Flact file extraction is an extraction where you need not have to connect to source
system, in this case you source system would be PC, here you would be designing an infosource based up on the fields/columns of your flat file and mapping the corresponding the infoojects to it.. and update rules..
and you would be loading/extracting the data from the file as a source..
These two things are different in nature and usage..
Hope this helps..
assign points if useful..

Java API for running entire ".sql" files on a remote DB ( mySQL or Oracle)?

Hi,
Would anyone happen to know if there's a java API for executing entire ".sql" files (containing several different SQL commands), on a remote database server ?
It's enough if the API works with MySQL and/or Oracle.
Just to demonstrate what i'm looking for:
Suppose you've created sql file "c:/test.sql" with several script lines:
-- test.sql:
insert into TABLE1 values(3,3);
insert into TABLE1 values(5,5);
create table TABLE2 (name VARCHER) ENGINE innoDB; -- MYSQL specific
Then the java API should look something like:
// Dummy java code:
String driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String url= "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myDb";
SomeAPI.executeScriptFile( "c:/test.sql", driver, url);
Thanks.

No such a API, but it's easy to parse all sqls in a file, then run those command:
For instance:
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Properties;
/* A demo show how to load some sql statements. */
public class testSQL {
private final static Object[] getSQLStatements(java.util.Vector v) {
Object[] statements = new Object[v.size()];

Delta upload for flat file extraction

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to initialize delta update for a flat file extraction, If yes please explain how to do that??

Hi Norton,
For a Flat file data source, the upload will be always FULL.
Please refer to following doc:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0b3f0e2-832d-2c10-1ca9-d909ca40b54e?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&43581033152710 if you need to to extract delta records from Flat file. We can write routine at infopackage level.

Omit the Open Hub control file 'S_*' for flat file extracts

Hi Folks,
a quick question is it somehow possible to omit the control file generation for flat file extracts.
We got some unix scripts running that get confused by the S_* files and we where wondering if we can switch the creation of those files off.
Thanks and best regards,
Axel

Hi,
However, the S_ (structure) file does not reflect the proper structure. The S_ file lists all fields sorted in alphabetical order based on the field name, instead of listing all fields in the correct order that they appear in the output file.
As I know and checked this is not the case. The S_ file has the fields in the order of infospoke object sequence ( and in transformation tab, source structure).
I would suggest you to control it again.

Changing the file name n Flat file Extraction

Hi,
Currently i am using flat file extraction for my forecast data and i am sending the file through application server.
I have created directory successfully and now everyday morning i receive a file thru FTP server with name 20060903.csv and this name is based on one field in my flat file data. ex. /interface/asf/20060903.csv
During mid off month we have cut off date, and this cut off date varies for each month. During this time file name changes in the FTP and a file with different name i.e 20061002.csv will be existing in the application server.
Now in the infopackage i also need to set the deletion settings like if the file name is same delete the previous requests. I could achieve this if i could get the file name changed.
Lets say if i am not chnaging the file name how do i set deletion condition, like it should not delete if the field(scenario) changes. ie from 20061002 to 20061101. I should have only one file for 20061002 and one file for 20061101 etc... If the scenario is same it should delete.
Any one kindly advise. Very urgent and critical.
Tks & regards,
Bhuvana.

Hi Bhunva,
Try the following abap code in routine under External data tab in infopackage.
data: begin of i_req occurs 0,
      rnr like RSICCONT-rnr,
      end of i_req.
select * from RSICCONT UP TO 1 ROWS
                  where ICUBE = <datatargetname>
                  order by TIMESTAMP descending.
i_req-rnr = rsiccont-rnr .
append i_req.
clear i_req.
endselect.
loop at i_req.
select single * from RSSELDONE where RNR eq i_req-rnr and
                                   filename = p_filename.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_DELETE_REQUEST'
      EXPORTING
        REQUEST                    = i_req-rnr
        INFOCUBE                   = <datatargetname>
      EXCEPTIONS
        REQUEST_NOT_IN_CUBE        = 1
        INFOCUBE_NOT_FOUND         = 2
        REQUEST_ALREADY_AGGREGATED = 3
        REQUEST_ALREADY_COMDENSED = 4
        NO_ENQUEUE_POSSIBLE        = 5
        OTHERS                     = 6.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      MESSAGE ID sy-MSGID TYPE 'I' NUMBER sy-MSGNO
          WITH sy-MSGV1 sy-MSGV2 sy-MSGV3 sy-MSGV4.
    else.
      message i799(rsm1) with i_req-rnr 'deleted'.
    ENDIF.
endif.
let me know if you get any problem in this logic.

Encountering problem in Flat File Extraction

Flat file extraction: the settings which I maintain in the data source u201Cfield tabu201D are conversion routine "ALPHA", format "External". But when I load the data, the record which is maintained in lower case (in the Flat File) is not getting converted into upper case. But if I try with out ALPHA conversion, the lower case data is getting converted into the SAP format (Upper case). Could you please help me to fix the problem
When I use both ALPH & External together?

Hai did you enable the lower case enable option check box in the infoobject level .For the objects which you want lower case values .Check the help.sap site as well.
Goodday

Hierarchy flat file extraction

Hi experts--
Can anyone could guide me in Flat file Hierchy extraction.Step by step.
if possible with screen shots.
can send it to [email protected]
regards,
Rambo.

Hi,
Flat file hierarchy extraction is similar to the normal flat file extraction procedures. But the file structure itself can be complex and is different than normal flat files.
Take a look at the threads below for more details :

Logical path for getting a Flat file from application server

Hi All,
We have loaded some .csv files to application server, what is the logical path we have to mention in the infopackage scheduler screen? please guide me how to give the path for getting a flat file from application server.
Thanks,
Sairam.

Hi Sairam,
I hope you know which location you have saved in the Application server.
Now if you go to the Infopackage and click on the "External Data" tab, there you will see Radio Buttons for
1) Client Workstation
2) Application Server
Choose the second radio button, then in the Field "Name of the File" you will be able to use the F4 help and browse AL11 transaction through this option. You can then choose the File.
Hope this helps
Regards,
Praveen.

Can i able to put filter for my source flat file?

Hi all,
Please help me with the best practise of ODI.
My source is flat file and i want to put filter.
can i able to put filter for my source flat file? If yes, please help me with the best practise of applying filter.
Regards
Suresh

Hi ,
If you are trying to create at the Model -->Datastore ---> Filter ---> Insert condition
then it will not work for File technology . You will get " Invalid Format Description "
But you can specify a filter in the interface .
Just drop the column(s) from your flat file data store into the canvas and then specify the filter condition .
Thanks,

InfoSpoke Flat File Extract to Logical Filename

I'm trying to extract data from an ODS to a flat file. So far, I've found that the InfoSpoke must write to the application server for large data volume. Also, in order for the InfoSpoke to transport properly, I must use logical filenames. I've attempted to implement the custom class and append structure as defined in the SAP document "How To... Extract Data with OPEN HUB to a Customer Defined Logical Filename". I'm getting an error when attempting to import the included transports (custom class code). It appears to be a syntax error. Has anyone encountered this, and, if so, how did you fix it?

Hello.
I'm getting a syntax error also. I did not import the transport, but applied the notes thru the appendix. When I modified the method "GET_OBJECT_REF_INT" in class CL_RSB_DEST as below, I get a syntax error on the "create object" statement.
    when rsbo_c_desttype_int-file_applsrv.
*{   REPLACE        &$&$&$&$                                          1
*\      data: l_r_file_applsrv type ref to cl_rsb_file_applsrv.
      data: l_r_file_applsrv type ref to zcl_rsb_file_logical.
*}   REPLACE
      create object l_r_file_applsrv
        exporting i_dest    = n_dest
                  i_objvers = i_objvers
Class CL_RSB_DEST,Method GET_OBJECT_REF_INT
The obligatory parameter "I_S_VDEST" had no value assigned to it.

Flat file extraction

hi
i know the procedure to extract from flat file but my question is how to extract date from flat file every month without entering path every time, i mean how to extract different files ex: september file, october file.. and can any one explain how we have to program for getting all the files without entering file path every time.

Hi,
If you want to automate your flat file data loads you must keep those files in application server and write an ABAP code at info pack level to extract the file.
For example you are getting files every day and those files are ended with current date. like xxxx0311208.csv you can read system date and store in the ABAP object and search for the same in the application server by giving the server path, so once the program finds the specified file in the server your program will execute and your info pack will trigger and load that file.
in the similar way you can write your code for your requirment for month.

Charan

Flat file extraction with FILE

Hi BWers,
I want to extract a flat file to BW with an infopackage.
This flat file is located in a physical path changing according to the system :
- in the developpment server, path is :
...\dev\file.csv
- in the quality server, path is :
...\qual\file.csv
- in the production server, path is :
...\prod\file.csv
In the Name of the File into the infopackage extraction tab, i have to put the physical path or the logical file or routine.
I don't want to put directly the physical path, because i would have to change this path in qual and prod servers.
I don't want too to use a routine.
So I created a logical file with FILE T-code. But in physical path i put :
...\dev\<FILENAME>
How to put a directory variable like that : $(director)<filename> which says : if we are in Dev, so $directory =
...\dev\file, else qual...
Thanks for help.
Cheers,

Hi,
Here is the answer i found:
Use in FILE\Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path the variable like that:
<V=Z_INT_SRV>
Declare this variables in Definition of Variables.
Z_INT_SRV
