OWB export flat file with align to right

Hi All
I want to know if is possible to configure a metadata POSITIONAL FILE (Flat File) where every data is align to right, in a Mapping.
I don't want to use a oracle function RPAD with Paletta Expression.
Regards

Hi,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the similar issue in my environment. When we create the Flat File Connection Manager with the default settings, the data in flat file stops when goes to the Chinese characters.
To fix the issue that makes the Chinese characters to actually get written into the flat file, we should check the Unicode checkbox on the right hand side of Locale property in Flat File Connection Manager. In this way, the flat file can display Chinese
characters.
The following screenshot is for your reference:

  • Export Report to flat file with spaces

    I have a report that is several columns wide. It queries data from our SQL based accounting package to create a flat file with spaces(must be accurate). When we go export the file we don't get all of the columns. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Are you exporting to CSV or Excel File?

  • Flat File with multiple record types (OWB 10.2.0.2)

    Hi!
    I`m using OWB 10.2.0.2 and I`m trying to load a flat file with multiple record types, using SQL LOADER.
    In the flat file editor in the Record tab, I`ve set the type values and the corresponding record names like this:
    Type Value Record Name
    ======== ===========
    T TRAILER
    0 DETAILS
    1 DETAILS
    2 DETAILS
    When using this flat file in a mapping to load the data in a staging table, the generated code looks like this:
    INTO TABLE TRAILER
    TRUNCATE
    REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
    WHEN (1:1) = 'T'
    INTO TABLE DETAILS
    APPEND
    REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
    WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2'
    The above clause (WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2') is wrong as I expect one "INTO TABLE..." clause for each record type.
    Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Yorgos

    We`re using two target tables, one for the trailer record and the other for the details records.
    We are facing this problem from the moment we upgraded from OWB 10.1 to OWB 10.2.0.2, so we think it must be something with the way the sql loader code is generated in the new version.
    As our data sources are mainly flat files coming from mainframes, this is a huge problem for us. We even asked an expert in DW from Oracle to help us on this, but still haven`t found a solution.
    Is there any workaround for this or should we forget sql loader and go with an external tables + custom PL/SQL code solution?
    Your help is greatly appreciated Jean-Pierre.

  • Create a flat file with multiple characters for enclosures

    Hello,
    we use OWB 11g2 (11.2.02).
    Now we try to create a flat file with multiple characters for enclosures. The manual wrote:
    "Enclosures (Left and Right): Some delimited files contain enclosures that denote text strings within a field. If the file contains enclosures, enter an enclosure character in the text box or select one from the list. The list displays commonenclosures. However, you may enter any character. The default for both the left and right enclosure is the double quotation mark ("). You can specify multiple characters and hexadecimal characters as field enclosures."
    But it will not work. The OWB use the first character from the left enclosure definition as left enclosure and the second one as right enclosure !?!
    Did anyone know this behavior? Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thanks and regards
    Norbert

    HI Raghu,
               Use the function module 'GUI_UPLOAD'.
               In that you have to specify the field_separator value = 'X' in export section.

  • How can we load a flat file with very, very long lines into a table?

    Hello:
    We have to load a flat file with OWB. The problem is that each of the lines in the file might be up to 30.000 characters long (up to 1.000 units of information in each line, 30 characters long each)
    Of course, our mapping should insert these units of information as independent rows in a table (1.000 rows, in our example).
    We do not know how to go about it. We usually load flat files using table functions, but we am not sure that they will be able to cope with these huge lines. And how should we pivot those lines? Will the Pivot operator do the trick? Or maybe we should pivot those lines outside the database before loading them?
    We are a bit lost. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
    Regards

    Yes, well, we could define a 1.000 column external table, and then map those 1.000 columns to the Pivot operator… perhaps it would work. But we have been investigating a little bit, and we think that we have found a better solution: there is a unix utility called “fold”. This utility can split our 30.000 character lines in 1.000 lines, 30 characters long each: just what we needed. Then we can load the resulting file using an external table.
    We think this is a much better solution that handling 1.000 columns in the external table and in the Pivot operator.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Flat File with unequal spacing as delimiter

    I am trying to import multiple flat files with unequal spacing as delimiter in sql server using SSIS 2012, however when I import the file, all the data in the file is imported into only one column. None of the predefined delimiters in SSIS works with the
    way the flat file was configured. I read that I can use the script component in SSIS 2012 to create the additional columns and somehow manipulate the file using the spacing to assign a new delimiter, such as a common, but I can't find any resources on it.
    Anyone have any experience/knowledge of this situation can provide me with an example or some resources that can help me to solve this situation?
    Example of file format:
    26   SM FRIES         0      1     0       0.00        0.0
    30   PEPSI               0    22     0       0.00        0.0

    Looks like a fixed width file to me seeing the data posted
    If you can determine the width of the columns then you can use fixed width (or ragged right) option in flat file connection manager and identify the lengths of the individual fields to get values out.
    See this example

  • How to load a flat file with lot of records

    Hi,
    I am trying to load a flat file with hundreds of records into an apps table. when i create the process and deploy it onto the console it asks for an input in an html form. why does it ask for an input when i have specified the input file directory in my process? is there any way around tis where in it just reads all the records from the flat file directly??is custom queues anyway related to what I am about to do?any documents on this process will be greatly appreciated.If any one can help me on this it will be great. thank you guys....

    After deploying it, do you see if it is active and the status is on from the BPEL console BPEL Process tab? It should not come up to ask for input unless you are clicking it from the Dashboard tab. Do not click it from the Dashboard. Instead you should put some files into the input driectory. Wait few seconds you should see the instances of the BPEL process is created and start to process the files asynchrously.

  • How to handle flat file with variable delimiters in the file sender adapter

    Hi friends,
    I have some flat files in the ftp server and hope to poll them into XI, but before processing in XI, I hope to do some content conversion in the file sender adapter, according to the general solution, I just need to specify the field names, field seperator, end seperator, etc. But the questions is:
    The fileds in the test data may have different amount of delimiters (,), for example:
    ORD01,,,Z4XS,6100001746,,,,,2,1
    OBJ01,,,,,,,,,,4,3     
    Some fileds only have 1 ',' as the delimiter, but some of them have multiple ','.
    How can I handle it in the content conversion?

  • Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO:  are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
    Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces  that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
    Please fix this as soon as possible.
    thanks,
