How to remove Header and Footer from Flat File

Hi,
In a scenario , we are going to recieve a flat file which will contains header , footer and data. We have to have to load data in Oracle tables and remove header and footer.
once the data load is complete , we have to delete flat file from source directory.
Please help me in solving this issue.
Thanks,
Kamlesh

You have a header parameter in the file datastore. You can provide any number to skip rows from top of the file. For footer you can create a filter in staging area.
Filter coould be something like this.
where source_alias.source_column not like '%FOOTER_OR_ANY_VALUE_AS_PER_YOUR_REQ'

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.

Error while loading table from flat file (.csv)

I have a flat file which i am loading into a Target Table in Oracle Warehouse Builder. It uses SQL Loader Internally to load the data from flat file, I am facing an issue. Please find the following error ( This is an extract from the error log generated)
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (D:\MY CURRENT PROJECTS\GEIP-IHSS-Santa Clara\CDI-OWB\Source_Systems\Acquisition.csv)
SQL*Loader-552: insufficient privilege to open file
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The data is invalid.
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
I believe that this is related to SQL * Loader error.
ACtually the flat file resides in my system ( D:\MY CURRENT PROJECTS\GEIP-IHSS-Santa Clara\CDI-OWB\Source_Systems\Acquisition.csv). I am connecting to a oracle server.
Please suggest
Is it required that i need to place the flat file in Oracle Server System ??
Regards,
Ashoka BL

Hi
I am getting an error as well which is similar to that described above except that I get
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (/u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
The difference is that Ashoka was getting
SQL*Loader-552: insufficient privilege to open file
and I get
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
The initial thought is that the file does not exist in the directory specified or I have spelt the filename incorrectly it but this has been checked and double checked. The unix directory also has permission to read and write.
Also in the error message is
Control File: C:\u21\oracle\owb_staging\WHITEST\source_depot\INV_LOAD_LABEL_INVENTORY.ctl
Character Set WE8MSWIN1252 specified for all input.
Data File: /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv
Bad File: C:\u21\oracle\owb_staging\WHITEST\source_depot\Durham_Inventory_Labels.bad
As can be seen from the above it seems to be trying to create the ctl and bad file on my c drive instead of on the server in the same directory as the .csv file. The location is registered to the server directory /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot
I am at a lost as this works fine in development and I have just promoted all the development work to a systest environment using OMBPlus.
The directory structure in development is the same as systest except that the data file is /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITED/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv and everything works fine - .ctl and .bad created in the same directory and the data sucessfully loads into a oracle table.
Have I missed a setting in OWB during the promotion to systest or is there something wrong in the way the repository in the systest database is setup?
The systest and development databases are on the same box.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Loading data from flat file...

Hello,
I am actually experiencing a problem where I cant load data from a flat file into a table. I have actually reverse engineered the flat file into ODI. But the thing is I don't know how to load the data that is reversed into a RDBMS table. Added, I don't know how create this RDBMS table form within ODI to be reflected on the DB. Added, don't know how to load the data from the flat file onto this table without having to add the columns in order to map between the flat file and the table.
In conclusion, I need to know how to create an RDBMS table from within ODI on the database. And how to automatically map the flat file to the DB table and load the data into the DB table.
Regards,
Hossam

Hi Hossam,
We can used ODI procedure to create table in the DB.
Make sure you keep the column name in the table name same as the column name in FLAT FILE so that it can automatically map the column.
and regarding Loading data from FLAT File i.e. our source table is FLAT FILE till ODI 10.1.3.4 we need to manually insert the datastore since the file system cannot be reversed.
Please let me know Hossam if i can assis you further.
Thanks and Regards,
Andy

I know we can use BAPI's, but dont know how. can you please send any sample ABAP program code that calls BAPI to read flat file and write to SNP order series objects.
Please let me know ASAP, how to get data from flat file into SNP order based objects, with options and I will be very grateful.

Hi, write a start routine in transfer rules like this.
DATA: l_s_datapak_line type TRANSFER_STRUCTURE,
 l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int,
 l_s_glaccount type /BI0/PGLACCOUNT,
 new_datapak type tab_transtru.
 refresh new_datapak.
 loop at datapak into l_s_datapak_line.
 select single * from /BI0/PGLACCOUNT into l_s_glaccount
 where CHRT_ACCTS eq l_s_datapak_line-field name in transfer structure/datsource for CHRT_ACCTS
and GL_ACCOUNT eq l_s_datapak_line-field name in transfer structure/datsource for GL_ACCOUNT
and OBJVERS eq 'A'.
 if sy-subrc eq 0.
 append l_s_datapak_line to new_datapak.
 endif.
 endloop.
 datapak = new_datapak.
 if datapak[] is initial.
abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
 ABORT = 4.
 else.
 ABORT = 0.
 endif.
i have already some modifications but U can slightly change it to suit your need.

Errors during Loading TD from Flat file to PSA

Hi Guys,
I got some errors while loading the flat file transaction data into PSA using infopackage.
Could you guys can help me to solve the below errors. It would be more appreciated if you guys could send some material which tells about these types of errors more detailly.
Points will be awarded.
Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ): External length specification will be ignored
Message no. RSDS101
Diagnosis
The value 23 is specified as output length in Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ). It is also specified that the data is shipped in internal format.
System Response
The length specification for output length is ignored. If the data in the source actually have the specified lengths, this results in conversion errors.
Procedure
Select the external format if required.
Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ): Amount field in internal format; check settings
Message no. RSDS099
Diagnosis
Setting made for Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ) states that the data from the source is available in the internal format.
This is not usually the case for this source system type.
System Response
If you do not change this setting, the data has to be available in the internal SAP format.
Example:
For the Japanese Yen this means: 1000 JPY has to be delivered from the source as 10.00 JPY.
Procedure
Check the data format of the source and where necessary, change the setting to External.
Field /BIC/ZIO_PRIC ( Position 4 ): Missing reference to currency field/unit field
Message no. RSDS151
Diagnosis
If an amount or quantity field is not delivered with values in internal format, an associated currency field or unit field must be specified so that the currency or units can be converted during data import.
System Response
The DataSource can not be activated.
Procedure
Specify a reference field if the data is delivered in external format.
Specify a reference field even if the currency or unit is constant. Fields with fixed values are not part of the data source; they are filled by the system when loaded.

Hi JUergen.
The order of the fields are same as datasource. I didn't make any field for amount in a flat file as it is defined as fixed currency usd when i created a key figure. i don't think so we have to create a field unless we take 0currency is a unit for price instead of fixed currency.
Though we got the above error, it still allows activates the datasource but the 10.00 usd shows as 1000 usd.
Cheers,
Shrinu

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

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

Loading a field of length( 60 and up to 2048) from flat file to BW.

Hello,
Can you please suggests ways by which we can load a field in flat file which is of length greater than 60 and up to 2048 digits to BW.
Facts:
We cannot have more than 59 length digits in an infoobject
Observations:
The idea of using multiple infoobject,ie for 2048 max length it will be 35 infoobjects is not acceptable by my client.
So, can anyone suggests other ways in BW3.5 for loading a text of length up to 2048 from flat file to BW.

Hi,
If you have source field DD/MM/YYYY format, please try this code in the field routine.
Data : lv_date(8) type C.
lv_date0(4) = <Source Field Name>6(4).
lv_date4(2) = <Source Field Name>3(2).
lv_date6(2) = <Source Field Name>0(2).
RESULT = LV_DATE.
Thanks,
Saru

How to load Material from Flat File and convert to SAP Format

Hi
I am loading 0Material values from Flat File for mapping purpose. The format of Material in Flat File is "7704132". Within the system, i need to compare the value with 0Material values from the incoming data and update corresponding 0Material in records. for this purpose, I created dummy materials taking 0Material as template and trying to load data. I am getting invalid error- Version '7704132' is not valid RSDMD No194. Can anyone please let me know how to over come this issue. Should I include any routine in the data source or rules level. I am in BI 7.0.
Thanks.

Hi,
Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to convert the value into Internal format .Use this FM in the Transformations (field mapping).
Search the forum with CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for more information on this.
