Flat file as a source table in my mapping

Hi all..
I am using owb 10gR2. when i debug with flat file and one target table,it is throwing error as it doesn't support flat file,you must access it through exteral table.
But i dont want to use the external table. i want the flat file to be my source file.
pls help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Bharath.

hi sutirtha. you have already solved one my of issue. hope you will solve this too :)
yes,it doesn't support flat files,but i am getting the following error,
"DBG1047 :Mapping flat file operators are not supported as sources when running mappings in debug mode. To access flat files use external table operators"
but i want to run or debug it without using external table operators.

Store Header and/or footer from flat file to an oracle table by customizing LKM.

I like to customize my LKM by adding extra option in LKM and extra step in LKM, so that I can store Header and Footer of the source File (Header : normally at beginning of the line Footer At the end of the line) in a separate oracle table.
File format would be
Header row
data
data
data
data
footer row
I like to store header row and footer row inside a table.
Please suggest how the LKM can be customized to do so.

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.
Sérgio.

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.

Validate Technical Information from Flat File header record

Hi Experts,
I would like to know the best way to validate data from a flat file where the layout has a header containing the number of records sent and the total amount distributed along the file content.
Please, notice we have a commom layout where the first 3 fields are only used by header record (record type = 00)
For example:
RECORD TYPE     NUMBER OF RECORDS     TOTAL AMOUNT     COST CENTER     AMOUNT
          00                              3                                  250,00
          01                                                                                1000000             100,00
          01                                                                                2000000             100,00
          01                                                                                1000000               50,00
So, let´s suppose I received the file content above and I have recorded all 4 records in a first DSO. The next step I would like to load to a different DSO the records where RECORD TYPE = 01 (business) data. That´s OK.
The header record where RECORD TYPE = 00 (technical data) has to be uploded to a log DSO validating the total amount (250,00) and number of records (3) sent in the file. This line will be further exported as a validation information.
Well, any suggestions how to validate the data as described above?
Any information will be fully appreciated.
Thanks.

Edited by: Fabio Chaves on Jan 30, 2010 9:30 PM

Hi Fabio,
You seem to compare the first record of file or header record with the collated values of rest of the records in the flat file.
Simple way would be to do validation separate and load the file...
create a function module to read a file...
compare the first record with the collated values in the rest of file.
If the file seems to be okay,then loading is your choice...

How to upload the flat file records into internal table by position?

Hi
I have a flat file which has 7 records in each row and they are NOT provided with CSV or Tab demilited...
They are continous text without spaces....
but i know the fixed length of each field Eg : 1st field 7 char and seconc field 3 char and so on...
How can i upload this file into internal table by reading positions of each field...I know we can use GUI_UPLOAD and Read dataset and Open dataset...
But please let me know to read the file with the fixed postions and load into internal table...
Thanks in advance
MM

Hi
As per my knowledge i dont think thr is some function module or so to read with a fixed positions.
You can use the below method if you think this is the best way.
Suppose your file has
types : begin of ty_itab,
            field1 type char7,
            field2 type char3,
            field3 type chat3,
            field4 type char3,
            end of ty_itab.
types : begin of ty_upload,
             str type string,
            end of ty_upload.
data : it_itab type standatd table of ty_itab,
          it_upload type standard table ot ty_upload,
          wa_itab type ty_itab,
          wa_upload type ty_upload.
use gui_upload.get the data in it_upload.
here you know that u have first 16 charcters makes a first row n then next 16 charcters next row
Loop at it_upload into wa_upload.
   v_len = strlen ( wa_upload ).
   v_len = v_len / 16.
    You get number of rows per record ,if it is decimal value make it final value if 3.9 make to 4.
    do v_len times.
      wa_itab = wa_upload.
      By this only first 16 characters are moved and respective fields will get a value.or else u can use offset
       wa_upload+0(16).
      append wa_itab to it_itab.
      Now shift 16 characters using shift command in wa_upload.
    enddo.
endloop.
Hope this syntax help you to resolve your issue.May be something i have missed .Right now i don't have sap system to send you the full correct syntax code.
Cheers

Loading Flat files with into multiple tables using OWB

Hi,
How to implement the following logic in OWB.
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'myfile.txt'
BADFILE 'myfile.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'myfile.dsc'
APPEND
Into TABLE_Awhen (1:1) = 'A'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:5) CHAR)
Into TABLE_Bwhen (1:1) = 'B'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:20) EXTERNAL INTEGER)
Into TABLE_C
when (1:1) = 'C'
(Col1 Position(1:1) CHAR,
Col2 Position(2:20) EXTERNAL INTEGER)
I am using 10g version of OWB.I tried using the splitter operator.
I am getting the following error when i use the splitter.
An invalid combination of operators prevents the generation of code in a single implementation language (PL/SQL code, or SQL*Loader code, or ABAP code). For example, you may have included a SQL*Loader only operator such as the Data Generator in a mapping with a PL/SQL implementation type. If you designed the mapping to generate PL/SQL code, an invalid combination or sequence of operators prevents the generation of PL/SQL code in any of the operating modes(set based, row based, row based target only). If the mapping contains an operator that generates only PL/SQL output, all downstream dataflow operators must also be implementable by PL/SQL. You can use SQL operators in such a mapping only after loading the PL/SQL output to a target. Detail is as follows:
PL/SQL set based operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL generation.
PL/SQL row based operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
PL/SQL row based (target only) operating mode: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support SQL and PL/SQL generation.
Both SQL and PL/SQL handlers are not supported by trailer_source_txt as output
SQL*Loader: Operator SPLIT does not support SQL*Loader generation.
ABAP: Operator trailer_source_txt does not support ABAP generation.
Thanks in advance,
VInay

Hi
Splitter can be used ib PL/SQL mappings, but if you use a flat file in a mapping, than it will be an SQLLoader mapping. So I suggest to you to create a mapping which load your flat file into a table, and from this table you load the data into the three table with the spillet in a PL/SQL mapping. Create two mappings.
Or you can use an external table in a mapping with a splitter.

More than one flat files with same external table

Is it possible to create external table in owb associated with more than one file ie to generate code like LOCATION ( FILE1,FILE2) in create table ddl.

Hi,
Yes, you can add multiple files by using the configuration of the external table, and create many instances of 'files'. Every 'file' you specify requires you to specify a location and a file name.
For more details, please review chapter 5 of the user's guide (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/warehouse.html), page 5-15.
Hope this helps.

kindly help me on this issue.
Thanks and regards,
M.S.Amirtharajvijay.

Hi Amirthraj,
If the flat file is static (if the content within it is same for all) then use the offset concept. First get the contents of the flat file into an internal table and later find the field that has to be in final internal table within the line, calculate the offset for the line and get the value into an workarea. Finally modify/append the work area into an internal table. Also wait for other experts answers for any other hassle free way to achieve the requirement.

Updating Table using the data from a flat file

Hi,
I have a table called emp;
Name,
empno,
accountno,
amount.
This table is filled with values of name and empno.
The columns accountno and amount are empty.
I have a flat file created in some folder.
Contents of the flat file can be like this:
mani | 23 | 123 | 1000
spr | 22 | 342 | 2133
asjf | 54 | 432 | 2345
I need to access the file in the specified location, read all the records one after the other in the flat file and update the table "emp" with the values in the flat file.
Row after row all the records in the file should be updated to the table.
I found out some way to do this - its sqlloader - But it loads the data from a file to the table - i dont need that - i need to update the table.
Let me know how this can be solved ?????????
Thanks in advance.......

Just to clarify Andrew's point, you can use external tables as the source table for an UPDATE statement. You cannot use them as a target for an UPDATE statement (i.e. you can't update the text file from an Oracle table).
