Problem in loading of flat file transaction data into BI7

Hi Experts,
I am new to BI7, got in problem in creation of Data source.
I have fields in flat file are:
CUSTID,SREPID,MATID,PRICE PER UNIT,UNIT,QUANTITY,TRANS.DATE
one of the row under the above fields is
C100,SR100,MAT01, 50,CS,5,19991005
Created infoobjects are:
IO_CUSID
IO_SRID
IO_MATID
IO_PRC
IO_QTY
IO_REV
0CALDAY
IO_QTY was created with Unit/currency '0UNIT'
In creation of Data source, under field tab system shown extra CS field, I did confuse that which infoobject should be map to this field. At the same time i created IO_QTY with 0UNIT so when i entered IO_QTY under infoobjects column, system automatically created 0UNIT infoobject. I didn't completly understand why one of the unit (CS) sat under the fields column. could you clarify me please.
And also could you please tell me the procedure of creating transfer routine for sales revenue as we didn't have this object in flat file (SS). In earlier version of BW(Addison Wesley Step by Step book) i did this at infosource level. Here i am loading the data without infosource so just i would like to know is it possible to create transfer routine at DS level or do i need to create Infosource in this case. If it is the case also could you please make me understand with procedure to create transfer routine for sales revenue.
Your solutions will be more appreciated with points.
Thank you,
Shri

Hi,
1.Open Administrator Workbench: Modeling, from the menu or using the transaction RSA1
2.Go to Source Systems (File)and Create a new System.
3. Double click on the datasources, create data source
4.Entitle the Datasource, choose Transaction Data as Data Type Datasource
5. In next screen, Go to Extraction , Activate the data source
6.Go to Preview. Press Read Preview Data.
7.Data will be loaded: Save and activate the datasource
8.Go to InfoProvider, go to Info area and create Infocube
9.Entitle the infocube, press create
10.Display all info objects: . Choose your info objects , Move the characteristics and key figure to the infocube by drag and drop adn activate

Flat file transactional data load error

I am trying to load a flat into a BPC model. I am using a DM " Import transational data load from flat file" to load the data. The transformation file and data file are validated correctly.
However,when i am running the DM package, i am hitting the below message.
Task Name : Load
Cannot perform Read.
Model : Package Status : Error.
We have two secure dimension in the model. I have tried different combinations even with PRimary admin role and i am still getting the same error message.
Is this a secirity related error ? The model has been transported from DEV . In DEV, i am not facing any errors.
Any advise/ help?

Hi King,
I think in the back end you need check the option real time load behavior, Is it in planning mode or loading mode. If possible share your error message screen.
Goto RSA1 ---> select your cube--> Right click---> change real time load behavior--> Change it in to planning mode

Problem in Flat file transaction data loading to BI7

Hi Experts,
I am new to BI7, got problem in activating data source for transaction data and create transfer routine to calculate sales revenue which is not there in flat file but flat file has got price per unit and quantity sold.
Flat file fields are:
Cust id SrepID Mat ID Price per unit Unit measure Quantity TR. Date
cu100 dr01 mat01 50 CS 5 19991001
created info objects are
IO_CUID
IO_SRID
IO_MATID
IO_PRC
IO_QTY
IO_REV
0CALDAY
When i created IO_QTY, unit/curency was given as 0UNIT. In creation of DS, under fields tab, extra field CS was shown I did confuse to which object should i map it. and at the same time when i enter IO_QTY its prompting one dailogbox with 0UNIT, so i said ok. Now i can't map CS to unit as system created automatic ally 0UNIT when i enter IO_QTY. Could you please give me solution for this and procedure to enter formulae for calculating Sales revenue at this level instead of query level. Your solutions will be more appreciated with points.
Await for ur solutions
Thanks

Data load fron flat file through data synchronization

Hi,
Can anyone please help me out with a problem. I am doing a data load in my planning application through a flat file and using data synhronization for it. How can i specify during my data synchronization mapping to add values from the load file that are at the same intersection instead of overriding it.
For e:g the load files have the following data
Entity Period Year Version Scenario Account Value
HO_ATR Jan FY09 Current CurrentScenario PAT 1000
HO_ATR Jan FY09 Current CurrentScenario PAT 2000
the value at the intersection HO_ATR->Jan->FY09->Current->CurrentScenario->PAT should be 3000.
Is there any possibility? I dont want to give users rights to Admin Console for loading data.

Hi Manmit,
First let us know if you are in BW 3.5 or 7.0
In either of the cases, just try including the fields X,Y,Date, Qty etc in the datasource with their respective length specifications.
While loading the data using Infopackage, just make the setting for file format as Fixed length in your infopackage
This will populate the values to the respective fields.

Put this code in ur script component. Before that add 5 columns to the script component output and name them as ID, col1, co2..,col4. ID is of data type int. Create a flat file destination and name it as connection and point it to the flat file as the source.
Im not sure whats the delimiter in ur flat file between the 2 columns. I have use a comma change it accordingly.
This is the output I get:
ID Col1
Col2 Col3
Col4
1 john
Greg David
Sam
2 tom

Loading of flat file (csv) into PSA – no data loaded

Hi BW-gurus,
We have an issue regarding loading a flat file (csv) into PSA using an infopackage u2013 (BI 7.0)
The infopackage has been used for a while. Prior the consultants with SAP_ALL-profile have run the infopackage. Now we want a few super users to run the infopackage.
We have created a role for the super users, including authorization objects:
Data Warehousing objects: S_RS_ADMWB
Activity: 03, 16, 23, 63, 66
Data Warehousing Workbench obj: INFOAREA, INFOOBJECT, INFOPACKAG, MONITOR, SOURCESYS, WORKBENCH
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 datasource (version > BW 3.x): S_RS_DS
Activity: All
Datasource: All
Subobject for New DataSource: All
Sourcesystem: FILE
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 infosource (flex update): S_RS_ISOUR
Activity: Display, Maintain, Request
Application Component: All
InfoSource: All
InfoSource Subobject: All values
As mentioned, the infopackage in question, has been used by consultants with SAP_ALL-profile for some time, and been working just fine. When the super users with the new role are executing the infopackage, the records are found, but not loaded into PSA. The load seems to be stuck, but no error message occurs. The file we are trying to load contains only 15 records.
Details monitor:
Overall status: Missing messages or warnings (yellow)
Requests (messages): Everything ok (green)
-> Data request arranged (green)
-> Confirmed with: OK (green)
Extraction (messages): Errors occurred (yellow)
-> Data request received (green)
-> Data selection scheduled (green)

     -> Inbound processing (0 records): Missing messages (yellow)

     -> Processing end: Missing messages (yellow)
Have we forgotten something? Any assistance will be highly appreciated!

Hi,
Try to use the transaction ST01 to trace the authorization of the upload with the SAP_ALL.
And the enhance your Profile for the super user.

Can someone provide me with a solution for this problem?
With rgds
Oktay Demir

Hi Oktay,
in addition to A.H.P.'s marks, check if
- Data is posted not only into PSA but also into datatarget,
- updaterules are active.
- Check Monitor-Status in Cube-Administration
- Check availabilitiy for reporting of the request wthin Cube-Administration.

Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5

Hi Experts,
                   Kindly give me the detailed steps with screens about Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5
       ...............Please

Hi ,
Procedure
You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the DataSource tree.
       1.      Select the application components in which you want to create the DataSource and choose Create DataSource.
       2.      On the next screen, enter a technical name for the DataSource, select the type of DataSource and choose Copy.
The DataSource maintenance screen appears.
       3.      Go to the General tab page.
                            a.      Enter descriptions for the DataSource (short, medium, long).
                            b.      As required, specify whether the DataSource builds an initial non-cumulative and can return duplicate data records within a request.
                            c.      Specify whether you want to generate the PSA for the DataSource in the character format. If the PSA is not typed it is not generated in a typed structure but is generated with character-like fields of type CHAR only.
Use this option if conversion during loading causes problems, for example, because there is no appropriate conversion routine, or if the source cannot guarantee that data is loaded with the correct data type.
In this case, after you have activated the DataSource you can load data into the PSA and correct it there.
       4.      Go to the Extraction tab page.
                            a.      Define the delta process for the DataSource.
                            b.      Specify whether you want the DataSource to support direct access to data.
                            c.      Real-time data acquisition is not supported for data transfer from files.
                            d.      Select the adapter for the data transfer. You can load text files or binary files from your local work station or from the application server.
Text-type files only contain characters that can be displayed and read as text. CSV and ASCII files are examples of text files. For CSV files you have to specify a character that separates the individual field values. In BI, you have to specify this separator character and an escape character which specifies this character as a component of the value if required. After specifying these characters, you have to use them in the file. ASCII files contain data in a specified length. The defined field length in the file must be the same as the assigned field in BI.
Binary files contain data in the form of Bytes. A file of this type can contain any type of Byte value, including Bytes that cannot be displayed or read as text. In this case, the field values in the file have to be the same as the internal format of the assigned field in BI.
Choose Properties if you want to display the general adapter properties.
                            e.      Select the path to the file that you want to load or enter the name of the file directly, for example C:/Daten/US/Kosten97.csv.
You can also create a routine that determines the name of your file. If you do not create a routine to determine the name of the file, the system reads the file name directly from the File Name field.
                              f.      Depending on the adapter and the file to be loaded, make further settings.
■       For binary files:
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
■       Text-type files:
Specify how many rows in your file are header rows and can therefore be ignored when the data is transferred.
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
For ASCII files:
If you are loading data from an ASCII file, the data is requested with a fixed data record length.
For CSV files:
If you are loading data from an Excel CSV file, specify the data separator and the escape character.
Specify the separator that your file uses to divide the fields in the Data Separator field.
If the data separator character is a part of the value, the file indicates this by enclosing the value in particular start and end characters. Enter these start and end characters in the Escape Charactersfield.
You chose the; character as the data separator. However, your file contains the value 12;45 for a field. If you set u201C as the escape character, the value in the file must be u201C12;45u201D so that 12;45 is loaded into BI. The complete value that you want to transfer has to be enclosed by the escape characters.
If the escape characters do not enclose the value but are used within the value, the system interprets the escape characters as a normal part of the value. If you have specified u201C as the escape character, the value 12u201D45 is transferred as 12u201D45 and 12u201D45u201D is transferred as 12u201D45u201D.
In a text editor (for example, Notepad) check the data separator and the escape character currently being used in the file. These depend on the country version of the file you used.
Note that if you do not specify an escape character, the space character is interpreted as the escape character. We recommend that you use a different character as the escape character.
If you select the Hex indicator, you can specify the data separator and the escape character in hexadecimal format. When you enter a character for the data separator and the escape character, these are displayed as hexadecimal code after the entries have been checked. A two character entry for a data separator or an escape sign is always interpreted as a hexadecimal entry.
                            g.      Make the settings for the number format (thousand separator and character used to represent a decimal point), as required.
                            h.      Make the settings for currency conversion, as required.
                              i.      Make any further settings that are dependent on your selection, as required.
       5.      Go to the Proposal tab page.
This tab page is only relevant for CSV files. For files in different formats, define the field list on the Fields tab page.
Here you create a proposal for the field list of the DataSource based on the sample data from your CSV file.
                            a.      Specify the number of data records that you want to load and choose Upload Sample Data.
The data is displayed in the upper area of the tab page in the format of your file.
The system displays the proposal for the field list in the lower area of the tab page.
                            b.      In the table of proposed fields, use Copy to Field List to select the fields you want to copy to the field list of the DataSource. All fields are selected by default.
       6.      Go to the Fields tab page.
Here you edit the fields that you transferred to the field list of the DataSource from the Proposal tab page. If you did not transfer the field list from a proposal, you can define the fields of the DataSource here.
                            a.      To define a field, choose Insert Row and specify a field name.
                            b.      Under Transfer, specify the decision-relevant DataSource fields that you want to be available for extraction and transferred to BI.
                            c.      Instead of generating a proposal for the field list, you can enter InfoObjects to define the fields of the DataSource. Under Template InfoObject, specify InfoObjects for the fields in BI. This allows you to transfer the technical properties of the InfoObjects into the DataSource field.
Entering InfoObjects here does not equate to assigning them to DataSource fields. Assignments are made in the transformation. When you define the transformation, the system proposes the InfoObjects you entered here as InfoObjects that you might want to assign to a field.
                            d.      Change the data type of the field if required.
                            e.      Specify the key fields of the DataSource.
These fields are generated as a secondary index in the PSA. This is important in ensuring good performance for data transfer process selections, in particular with semantic grouping.
                              f.      Specify whether lowercase is supported.
                            g.      Specify whether the source provides the data in the internal or external format.
                            h.      If you choose the external format, ensure that the output length of the field (external length) is correct. Change the entries, as required.
                              i.      If required, specify a conversion routine that converts data from an external format into an internal format.
                              j.      Select the fields that you want to be able to set selection criteria for when scheduling a data request using an InfoPackage. Data for this type of field is transferred in accordance with the selection criteria specified in the InfoPackage.
                            k.      Choose the selection options (such as EQ, BT) that you want to be available for selection in the InfoPackage.
                              l.      Under Field Type, specify whether the data to be selected is language-dependent or time-dependent, as required.
       7.      Check, save and activate the DataSource.
       8.      Go to the Preview tab page.
If you select Read Preview Data, the number of data records you specified in your field selection is displayed in a preview.
This function allows you to check whether the data formats and data are correct.

CUNIT error in data loading from flat file after r/3 extraction

Hi all
After R/3 business content extraction, if i load data from flat file to info cube, I am getting Conversion exit CUNIT error, what might be the reason, the data in the flat file 0unit column is accurate, and mapping rules are also correct, but still i am getting error with CUNIT.?

check your unit if you are loading amount or quantities what mapping you have and what you are loading from flat files.

Problem with extraction of flat file to infocube

Hi there,
We are workin on SAP SCM APO release 7 that has the componente BW release 7. and we're trying to load data from a flat file to infocube like we used to do in release 5.
The problem is that we get the message that no data is available everytime we run the DTP. The transfer structure is:
1. source system: flat file
2. data source: a flat file according with our CSV file
3. transformation between the data source and the infocube
4. infocube
do i need to create an infosource even i'm loading from a flat file? With the release 5 of SAP SCM APO i don't need to create an infosource. It works fine from the data source to the infocube.
We don't fine any notes related so I'm asking if you have experienced this before with the release 7.0 and how do you solve it.
Regards

Hi,
In BI DTP loads data directly from datasource to infocube. No need to create an infosource. But make sure that you have loaded data till your datasource i.e. upto PSA. For that you need an infopackage to load data from flatfile to PSA. Then from PSA, you can load data to cube by your DTP.
You have to create a flatfile datasource and give path to the CSV file. I guess you have already done this. Now right click on your datasource and click on create infopackage to create an infopackage. here also check the path and start the infopackage. It will load data till your PSA. If this loading is successful you have data in your PSA. Right click on your datasource and click on manage. Thus you can check your data in PSA. Now you need transformation between your datasource and cube which you already have. Now run your DTP and your data will be loaded from PSA.

Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization

Extraction, Flat File, Generic Data Source, Delta Initialization
I have couple of questions regarding data extraction.
1.     If you have Data Source a Flat File e.g. Excel file I know that you have to create Data Source at BW side. How do you upload updates, by selecting Delta Update when executing next Data Load? Do you ever u201Cconvertu201D this Excel file into Application Tables to become SAP Source 
2.     Can you please give me example of situation where you had to create Generic Data Source? What is difference between Time Stamp, Calend. Day and Numeric Pointer. Which one is most common to select?
3.     I read somewhere that Generic Data Source does not have Setup Table. I thought that you have to have Setup Table in order to load transaction Data otherwise you will lock the Application Tables. Where am I going wrong im my thinking please?
4.     What are steps in terms of IP before, under and after Delta Initialization. I belive that you can do two ways:
Full Update - Initialize Delta Process (without Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update or
Initialize Delta Process (with Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update
Am I right? What is most common method and why?
5.     If you want to add a filed in Data Source after 6 month using it, you want to do it without re-init Delta Queue. You add field in RSA6, then provide info for ABAP to populate new filed (info u2013 name of Data Source, Extract Structure, field added, name of Application Table which contains the field). How does it work now as there is no SetUp table it has been deleted after Initialisation? How does Delta Queue know that it is going to receive data which has been expanded by one field or it may does not need to know at all?
THANKSSSSSSSSSs

Once you create Datasource for A flat file extraction then it is file source system specific hence you cont change to Application table source Data source
In info package you can change the source as application server instead of desktop no need to change the DS
2. Can you please give me example of situation where you had to create Generic Data Source? What is difference between Time Stamp, Calend. Day and Numeric Pointer. Which one is most common to select?
When we don't find any standard extractor then we can go for Generic(if i want information sales along with finance information in a data source then generally we dont get standard one hence we can go for generic DS)
Check the below link for More about generic DS .
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Generic+Extraction
for Delta capturing you can use
Timestamp(if the table has time stamp filed so it can stamp the last changed record in that table hence it is easy to get delta based on the time stamp)
Calday- (If the table doesn't have the Timestamp filed then search for Calday where you can stamp the delta based on the date when documents are changed )
Numericpointer : If the table doesn't above both then we go for this option where you can the numeric value change stamp )
3. I read somewhere that Generic Data Source does not have Setup Table. I thought that you have to have Setup Table in order to load transaction Data otherwise you will lock the Application Tables. Where am I going wrong im my thinking please?
Generic datasource nothing but we extracting data directly from the database table without any interface between the application/systems
4. What are steps in terms of IP before, under and after Delta Initialization. I belive that you can do two ways:
Full Update - Initialize Delta Process (without Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update or
Initialize Delta Process (with Data Transfer) u2013 Delta Update
Am I right? What is most common method and why?
Correct
5. If you want to add a filed in Data Source after 6 month using it, you want to do it without re-init Delta Queue. You add field in RSA6, then provide info for ABAP to populate new filed (info u2013 name of Data Source, Extract Structure, field added, name of Application Table which contains the field). How does it work now as there is no SetUp table it has been deleted after Initialisation? How does Delta Queue know that it is going to receive data which has been expanded by one field or it may does not need to know at all?
Once you add the new field to structure(DS) you will get the data as on date onwards not historical data hence what is the concept of setup table ( delta records come from the Delta Que not from the setup table )
If you want histaric data to new field then you need to setp table deletion ...etc...
Hope it is clear..

ABAP Code for loading the flat files kept at FTP locations

Hi all,
I need to automate the process of data loading via flat files with the help of process chains , with respect to which I require following help:
1. what steps should I follow to load the data with respect that whenever the new file comes in the directory of the ftp location start that process chain for data load.(Note : there is no fix time that when the new file will be coming)
2. Every time the new file will be having differnt name , then in that case how we will be fetching the new file which is require for data loading?
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi Neha,
I have not worked on this or made this code.
Recently my onsite did it.
Try to find more gyan on this functiona module...'DX_GET_PHYSICAL_FILENAME'
Code is... write it in infopackge start routine.
DATA: v_filename LIKE dxfile-filename.
Below function module generates the filename with the complete path
based on the app server attached to the Central Instance
The logical mapping Z_INBOUND_EBIZ_PAYMENTS is maintained in the
transaction - "FILE"
CALL FUNCTION 'DX_GET_PHYSICAL_FILENAME'
    EXPORTING
      i_filename             = 'Z_INBOUND_EBIZ_PAYMENTS'
    IMPORTING
      o_filename             = v_filename
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_registered         = 1
      logical_filename_error = 2
      OTHERS                 = 3.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    p_filename = v_filename.
    p_subrc = 0.
ELSE.
    p_subrc = 4.
ENDIF.

San!
