OWB - Flat file to oracle table

Second message, please read.
OS- Microsoft windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 2
OWB client---9.0.3.33.0
OWB Repository--9.0.3.0.1
Database--oracle 9i Enterprise Edition 9.0.1.3.1 with the partioning option Jserver Release9.0.1.3.0
OEM--9.0.1.0.0
I have created mapping between the source(flat file)and target(oracle)using Oracle Warehouse Builder. Mapping was validated, configured and it successfully generated without errors. The ‘Deploy’ button and the ‘Run’ button are disabled. How can I run/deploy this mapping ?
The above OWB copy was downloaded from the Oracle corp website. Is this version an evaluation copy? Alternatively Is this a beta copy ?
Please help.

Dear All,
I have a problem with loading flat files to oracle tables using OWB 9.2
i created a map with my flat file as a source and my oracle table as a target,and i created a connector between the target location and the flat file location.And i deployed the connector and registered the flat file location using my PC information and the path of the files on my pc.
I generated the map and saved the .ctl file and deployed the map,and hence trying to load the ctl file using the sql loader as the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\CORAL 2000>sqlldr owb_rt_rep/owb_rt_rep@ofsa
control = D:\oracle2\ofsa\owb\codegen\BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT_MAP.ctl
---where owb_rt_rep is my runtime repository user.
I got the following error:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 18.
Expecting "(", found ".".
INTO TABLE "{{TRG_LOC1.Schema}}"."BM_DEBIT_CARDS_DAT"
--where trg_loc1 is my target location and bm_debit_cards_dat is my target table.
I tried to grant from the target schema the privelages to the runtime user incase its the problem,but still it didn't work.
Any ideas??

Extracting a flat file from oracle table

I have moved the knowledge module KIM ISO SQL to FileAppend from the Metadata to my project folder.
But when I create an interface mapping the oracle table and a flat file on a different unix server, in the drop down menu , it shows only KIM SQL TO SQL and KIM Control Append.It does not show up the SQL to FileAppend knowledge module option.
What should I do to extract a flat file from oracle table?
Thanks

All IKM in the Drop Down Menu are dependent of the target technology.
A question, at this interface, is your target table a file ?

Map FLAT file to oracle table using 9.04 version - PLS HELP!!!!

Hello all
I am having a problem with mapping a flat file to oracle table. The validation is successful, when I go to Project/Deployment manager. Try to deploy the mapping itself and the target table. It said succesful, and the last step is another "Deploy", this one is fail. Saying could not locate the file (which is a flat file) , but it is there on the server.
I have read all the help on line and follow what they show me, but still not work
Any ideas? Please provide detail answer if you know it.
Thank in advance

Hallo,
just give a rights on connector
Variant 1
1. connect to user sys
2. grant read,write on directory <connector_name> to <target_schema>;
or
Variant 2
1. as user sys or system give CREATE_ANY_DIRECTORY to <target_schema>
2. manualy make CREATE DIRECTORY <connector_name> as '<full_path_to_directory>';
and enjoy :)
PS: <connector_name> you can take from script CREATE_TABLE wisch in Generation phase was created!

Conversion of fixed length flat files to oracle table

hello friends
Please help me getting the code for conversion of fixed length flat files to oracle table
Should the tables be pre-defined ?????
In this case the de-limiters are variable length spaces and not commas.Please help me with the same
Regards,
-Mahesh

You can use SQL*Loader to load fixed-width files into Oracle. Instructions on writing appropriate control files are in the Oracle Utilities manual
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch03.htm#1004687
You can also use external tables, assuming you're using 9i or later (the syntax for external table definitions is nearly identical to the syntax for SQL*Loader control files).
You'll need to create a table definition in Oracle. You can either create a "normal" table and use SQL*Loader to populate it or you can create an external table definition.

SSIS - Exporting Data into flat files from Oracle Table as batchwise process

Hi All,
Thanks in advance.
I have a Large Table in Oracle Database with some 3 Lakhs record. I need to fetch the 10,000 records for every iteration and export it into the flat file. This process should occur recursively until the table becomes empty.
Hence, For every iteration on flat file to be generated with 10,000 records.
Please help how to proceed further in SSIS.
Thanks
Pyarajan.S

Yes, it always helps if your question doesn't specify the actual requirements...
Use the FOR loop container to control the iterations of the data flow. For each run you read 10,000 rows from the table and dump them in a flat file. Either move the flat file, or use an expression on the flat file connection manager to give them dynamic
file names.
30 million rows is also not a problem by the way, it just takes a bit longer.

I assume you're using the "LKM file to Oracle SQL Loader".
For test purpose, can you just try with "LKM file to SQL" (slower) ?
We could check if the problem comes from the SQL Loader.
Your unix server has access to the oracle database ?

Sending data from flat file or oracle table view to a IBM MQ

Hi,
We need a help in developing solution.
We have a scenario, where data(multiple records) in source (table/file) needs to populated into a queue(JMS IBM MQ) as a single message. To achieve this we are trying a two step process.
1)     We created a temp table to store multiple records from file, this temp table is having one column of *‘clob’* data-type which will store data from file into a single row. We are facing issue while loading data from file to staging area using LKM FILE TO ORACLE (SQLLDR)
When we are executing interface, while creating C$ table it is going error out . Instead of taking clob (target write data type) it is taking varchar with +5000+ size whereas varchar supports only *4000*.
create table SNPM.C$_0SINGLERECORD
C1_C1 VARCHAR2(5000) NULL
NOLOGGING
Error message:
910 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype
Need help in sending data into destination table.
2) After populating this data into destination(temp table) as a single record we need to send each row as a single message to JMS MQ. currently we are using LKM FILE to SQL to load into Staging area and IKM SQL TO JMS APPEND to put message in JMS MQ. We are succeeding in putting message of length < 4000 as these KMs are converting the data using varchar2, but we have data of large size+(>4K)+.
Pointer/ solution will be of great help.
Please let me know in case you need more description.

The error message that is showing while using clob as datatype(which we created as user data type in data types section of respective technology)
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "4294967295"
     at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
while using varchar2 in creating C$ table following is the error:
910 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype

Loading Date fields from flat file to Oracle tables

Hi,
I have a flat file with a few date columns. I have given the format for the date field while creating the data store for the flat file. The format I used is 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
But I get an error when I execute it after associating the module with LKM & IKM.
The error message is as follows:
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython: Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 3, in ?
OS command has signalled errors
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks

At the time of DataStore creation. You take that date field as string.
After this, in interface, when you map this date field with table field. You should use CONVERT(<field name>,DATE) in expression editor.

Conversion of white spaced flat file to oracle table format

hello friends
I have found out that SQL*Loader can load data from .txt format into table format in oracle.
Please if anynone can provide me with the syntax for conversion of white spaced data in text format would be of great help
Regards,
-Mahesh

The utilities guide provides some sample cases.
Just change the field terminator and adjust the field definitions

MAPPING FLAT FILE TO ORACLE ERROR!! Please help

hello all
I am using OWB on Oracle9i.
Trying to map flat file (file.txt) to oracle table,
Validate: okey, some warning
Generate/Deploy: successful.
But when I check to the database sqlplus there is no rows existed. I verify that I connect to the right database.
My question is:
When doing a map from flat file to oracle table. Do I have to have some thing in the middle such as (filter, join) or I just can do a straight mapping if I don't have any condition to filter out.
Please response if you know the answer.
Your answer greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help
Regards,

If you are using an OWB version which is 9.0.3.x or earlier, to load a flat file into the database, you should generate SQL loader files and run them either manually or by using a scheduler.
The new version (9.0.4) supports external tables, so you don't have to use SQL loader. Please refer to the user manual for more details.

Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level?

Hi,
I have some data that I want to cleanse and transform. I don't want to cleanse it after i populate the external table, I want to get done with it at flat file level or while populating the external table. Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level through Oracle or OWB 11.2? Is it possible to run a conditional load (i.e. having a where clause or if-else-then) for an external table? Can we call oracle functions for an external table at the time of creation?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ann.

Hi Oleg,
Thanks a lot for the clarification. :)
So is there a way that I can clease the data within the text file through Oracle or OWB? I have datatype mismatches in the data and most of my data is getting rejected because of that. The way I can think of, for solving this problem, is to create the external table with all fields with datatype varchar and then cleansing the data. But it doesn't seem very effecient plus it will get very complicated because I have almost 80-90 fields.
Any help?
Thanks and regards,
Ann.

How to define mapping from multiple files to Oracle Tables in 9i

Around 100-200 Flat files are created every 30 minutes and each filename is different - Filename has datetime Stamp as part of the file name apart from the product code as first 12 characters.
Can anyone guide me in How to define mappings to these files using OWB ?
What I can do is consolidate all files into one known single file name and map the files to Oracle tables which I don't want to do because I need to reject errorneous files.
Can anyone provide me some tips on this ?
Thanks in Advance.
Sohan.

As you know, in OWB you need to define the flat file source in a 'static' way (name, location, etc. have to be defined previously), so you cannot deal directly with dinamically generated file names. One solution would be to consolidate them into a single file (which you can define statically in OWB), but prefix every record with the filename. In this way it is easy to understand from which file the rejected records came from. If you are using unix, it is very easy to write a script to do this. Something like this will do:
awk '{printf "%s,%s\n",FILENAME,$1}' yourfilename >> onefile
where yourfile is the name of the file you are currently processing, while onefile is the name of the consolidated file. You can run this for all files in your directory by substituting yourfilename with * .
You can then disregard the file name field in OWB, while processing the rejected records based on the file name prefix by using unix utilities like grep and similar.

Igor
