Problem in upload flat file into bw-bps using web browser

Hi All,
I have follwed the steps as per the how to guide to upload flat file,its seems to be fine but when try to upload by running the URL its giving error "Value of variable Data Slice Global ( ZFIE0ALL ) cannot be determined " and warning "Errors occurred when executing planning function TUPLOAD(EXIT FOR UPLOAD DATA)/T0000000(WEB UPLOAD".
Since i am new to BW/BPS , also let me know, how test it , when i run file_upload URL directly its giving follwing error.
SAP Note
     The following error text was processed in the system:
     An exception with the type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL occurred, but was neither      handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause
When i run page1 url and if i file_load url, then its prompt me to see upload function, path for flat file. But when enter path of flat file and press upload function button ts giving error "Value of variable Data Slice Global ( ZFIE0ALL ) cannot be determined " and warning "Errors occurred when executing planning function TUPLOAD(EXIT FOR UPLOAD DATA)/T0000000(WEB UPLOAD".
FYI..i am using new design HTMLB option in how-to-doc.
Please help me to resolve this. Thanks in advance.
Also pls let me know can i debug this application?How ?

Uregnt - How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser

Hello,
We have followed the 'How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser' guide to build BSP web front-end to upload flat file. Everything works great but we have a requirement to populate the Planning Area Variables based on BSP drop down list with values. Does anyone know how to do this? We have the BSP coded with drop down list all we need to do now is populate variables. We can populate the variables through the planning level (hardcoded) but we need to populate them through the web interface.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,
We have acheived the desired result by not too a clean method but it works for us.
What we have done is, we have the link to load file in a page where the variables can be input. The user would then have the option to choose the link to load a file for the layout in that page.
By entering the variable values in the page, we are able to read the variables for the file input directly in the load program.
Maybe this approach might help.

How to load a flat file into BW-BPS using Web Browser

Hello, i have a problem with the "How to do Paper". I want to upload a Excel CSV file , but the paper only describes a txt file Uplaod. Does anybody can help me ?Thanks !

You need to parse the line coming in from the flat file...
You can do this with generic types in your flat file structure (string).
Then you loop through the table of strings that is your flat file and parse the string so that it breaks up the line for each comma. There is an ABAP command called: SPLIT - syntax is as follows:
SPLIT dobj AT sep INTO
{ {result1 result2 ...} | {TABLE result_tab} }
[IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].

Load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAP GUI

Hi,
We are using BW BPS 3.5 version, i implemented how to guide " How to load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAP GUI" successfully without any errors.
I inlcuded three infoobjects in the text file   costelemt, Posting period and amount. the same three infoobjects i inlcuded the file structure in the global data as specified in the how to document
The flat file format is like this
Costelmnt      Postingperiod         Amount

I successfully loaded above flat file in to BPS cube and it dispalyed in the layout also.
But users are requesting to load flatfile in the below format
Costelmnt        Annual(PP=#)   Jan(PP=1)   Feb(PP=2) ........................................Dec(PP=12)
XXXXX              Blank                       100           800                                                   900
Is it possible to load a flat file like this
They wants load a single row instead of 13 rows for each costelement
How to do this. Please suggest me if anybody accorss this requirment.
In the infocube we have got only one Info object 0FISCPER3(Posting period) and one 0AMOUNT(Amount)
do we need 13 Infobjects for each posting period and amount.
Is there any possiblity we can implement any user exit which we use in BEX Quer's
Please share your ideas on this.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
SS

Hi,
There are 2 ways to do this.
One is to change the structure of the cube to have 12 key figures for the 12 posting periods.
Another way is to write an ABAP Function Module to fetch the values from each record based on the posting period and store it in the cube for the corresponding characteristic. This way, you dont have to change the structure of the cube.
If this particular cube is not used anywhere else, I would suggest to change the structure itself.
Hope this helps.

Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using a Web Browser

I experienced the same. The appendizes are missing. Can anybody provide the information, which properties have to be set for the bsp application to upload data from flat file to bw-bps?
Does anybody know contact information of the author of the HowTo Marc Bernard ?

Hello Friedrich, Everyone,
the coding is included in a separate ZIP file that you can download from the how-to guide page here on SDN:
Business Intelligence How-to Guides for SAP NetWeaver 2004
There's a "Download attached system files (ZIP 13KB)" included at the end of the description. I think you can figure out the rest

Uploading & Downloading Files into DMS Server using Web Dynpro Java

Hello Friends,
 I want to Upload a file from Portal to Document Management Server and to Download a file from Document Management Server to Portal, In short, I want to give the user the facility to Upload a File into DMS Sever via Portal and also to download the file from DMS Sever via Portal.
Can anybody give me a Input for the same from Both Java Development End as well as ABAP End, more inputs are required from ABAP end, since i have a very less ABAP Experience on working with DMS. Few Questions i have in my mind?
1. How to actually access the file contents with the help of Document Number?
2. With the help of Doc-Number we can extract the file from DMS sever but to provide a option for downloading in portal, the RFC should convert the File Contents into X-String or is there some other way?
+3. While Uploading the Data should be given in Which format to RFC? Are there any limitation with respect to size or formats. Is there any Standard RFC i can use directly in WD4 Java application to upload the file into DMS Server and which will return me the Document Number? +
Please give me your valuable inputs.
Thank You.

Performance concerns in upload flat file into SEM-BPS.

Hi,
we are using HOW-TO document to upload flatfile into SEM-BPS.
in the same exit function, we have a need to derive missing characteristic values from reference data.
So, we are reading reference data using API_SEMBPS_GETDATA.
upload is taking around 10 minutes in test systems. our concern is, if taking so long for test systems with less data , what about production time with more data?
from what all I can see is, most of the time is being consumed at reading reference data.
I'm dealing around 14000 records of reference data & around the same number of uploaded records. Initially, system status is, "number of cells to be formed : 33092" and then immediately after 5 seconds, status changes to, "formed cells : 33000" and this status stays for like 8 minutes.
I'm not using any input/output layouts but just exit planning function in the planning folder. So, I anticipate that above status is while reading reference data but not due to huge amounts of uploaded records.
When I ran the same exit funciton by commenting just the "reading reference data" code, upload function execution time came out as 2 minutes.
What is the best bet in dealing this scenario?
Usually, what is the best approch to read reference data / to derive missing characteristic values?
I couldn't able to use "Char Relationship using reference data" as it might not be suitable in my case. Even if suits, am missing enough documents/info/examples to deal "Char Relationship". Documentation on help.sap.com is not enough in this case.
PS: initially, when I tried to read 14000 records at detailed level, exit funciton returned no reference data & in the debugging mode, I could see a message "too many records".
Can a given layout read only a maximum of 9999 records / excel rows?
records are at CALMONTH level. As I don't need CALMONTH for derivation of characteristic values, I have deleted CALMONTH from " READ reference data" level to avoid the above message. Does this anyway relates to peformance?
Appreciate any help

Hello Hari,
it is touch to say what exactly causes this performance problem. Since you are dealing with custom coding (the how-to + your derivation logic), I suggest to do an ABAP trace (SE30) to see where the time is really spent.
The API call to read data should not take more than a few seconds. Test it separately by putting the API call into a simple ABAP program.
As Mary pointed out already, there's a 9999 line limit for layouts and therefore the GETDATA API as well.
Note: The file upload/download how-to solution was never meant for mass data loads. This needs to be done using regular BW functionality.

How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using a Web Browser

Hello,
I'm using the upload functionality described in the how to guide.
When we want to have this functionality available for 12 different Planning levels. Do I have to create the Web Interface (as described in the how to guide) for each Planning Level separately, or can i pass a parameter in the URL (wenn calling the File Upload functionality) to determine which Planning level and Function it is.
This pice of coding i want to have a bit more flexible
*Execute planning function
CALL FUNCTION 'API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE'
 EXPORTING
 i_area = 'ZIPM0001' " <<<< ADJUST
 i_plevel = 'ZCAPB006' " <<<< ADJUST
 i_package = '0-ADHOC' " <<<< ADJUST
 i_function = 'ZEX00001' " <<<< ADJUST
 i_param = 'Z0000001' " <<<< ADJUST
 IMPORTING
 e_subrc = l_subrc
 TABLES
 etk_return = lt_bapiret.
Does someone have an idea ?
Thank you
Dieter

Hi Dieter,
you should be able to grab the variable value by the following statement (e.g. in this case 'area' is being passed along, works for whatever you want to send) is:
data: l_area type upc_y_area.
l_area = request->get_form_field( 'area' ).
in this case the calling URL looks like:
<normal URL>?area=example_area
example_area will then contain your value.
Then depending on the value execute your different SEM functions
Note that if you want to load different flatfile formats, more has to change in the functions as indicated in the white paper,
Hope it helps,
Regards,
MArc

Load Flat File into BW-BPS using a Web Browser....

Hallo,
I am trying to implement the titled How To with some modifications. I am trying to read the uploaded data in the extension class of the Web Interface. The details are as follows:
Modification 1) - Instead of using the standard submit button for triggering the File upload process, I used custom <htmlb:fileUpload> component coding as follows
<input type="file"
 class="urUpld1"
 id="htmlbfileUpload3b"
 ct="FileUpload"
 name="htmlbfileUpload3b"
 size="40"
 value="">

<a href="javascript:void(0);"
 onclick="if(!sapUrMapi_Button_checkClick('htmlbfileUpload3b_upload',event)){
 return true;};
htmlbSubmitLib('htmlb',this,'htmlb:button:click:null::CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD::x','htmlb_form_1','htmlbfileUpload3b_upload','HandleUpload',0); return false" onkeypress="if(!sapUrMapi_Button_checkClick('htmlbfileUpload3b_upload',event)){
 return true;};
htmlbSubmitLib('htmlb',this,'htmlb:button:click:null::CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD::x','htmlb_form_1','htmlbfileUpload3b_upload','HandleUpload',0);
 return false"
 class="urBtnStd1 urV"
 id="htmlbfileUpload3b_upload"
 ct="Button"
 style="white-space:nowrap;">
size=40</a>
I am able to identify/capture the event "Upload" in my extension class (When the user presses upload the button after choosing a file)
Observation 1) The Attribute Request of the extension class "mr_request" does not return a valid entity object from which I could query the data that was uploaded.
In other words, the method
get_multipart( 1 )
which should return a valid Entity Object fails and the entity object remains unbound (
num_multiparts( )
return 0 ).
Question 1 Has anybody tried to implement the How To with such kind of modifications?
Question 2 If yes how was the approach?
Question 3 Returning to my approach, perhaps could anybody (Marc) suggest me how to read the data (Please note that it should be done inside the extension class!

1. Excel File is On Users/ Client PC.
2. Application is on Remote Server(Oracle Forms D2k).
3. User Is Using Application Using Terminal Server LogIn.
4. So If User Will Use to GET_FILE_NAME() function of D2K to Get Excel File , D2k Will Try to pick File from That Remote Server(Bcs User Logind from Terminal Server Option).
5. Cannot Use Util_File Package Or Oracle Directory to Place That File on Server.
6. we are Using Oracle 8.7
So Need Some PL/SQL Package or Fuction/ Procedure to Upload Excel file on User's Pc to Oracle Table.
Please Guide me wd some Code. or with Some Pl/SQL Package, or With SOme Hint. Or any Link ....
Jus help to Sort This Issue ........
you can also write me on :
[email protected], [email protected]

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.

Issue while uploading .TIFF file into Standard text using RSTXLDMC

Hi All,
We are facing issues while uploading .TIFF file into standard text through program RSTXLDMC.
Getting the following error.
TIFF format error: No baseline TIFF 6.0 file.
The image is a colored one.
Please provide me solution if anyone has worked in this area.
Thanks in Advance,
Anand Raj Kuruba.

Hi,
Often this error occurs because the TIFF file you have has been saved with some form of compression. You need to open in a picture edit program and save as TIFF making sure options are set so there is no compression.

Problem in uploading attachment files through automation scripts using Oracle Application Testing Suite(OATS)

I am using OATS tool for writing automation scripts to test a web-based application . But I am facing problem when the requirement is to upload any file from the system to that web application .
Actually the behavior of the script or I guess of OATS is inconsistent as the attachment file is getting upload sometime and
fails to do so at the other time .
I have observed a strange case also ,i.e whenever i am executing the scripts while sharing my system screen on webex meeting
then the attachment upload results in failure . What can be the proper solution for doing file upload using automation script ??

Can you please check whether the sync has been taken care before performing the upload operation. If the sync is taken care then the upload should work always
