Problem with flat-file to oracle

Hi all,
Flat-file has 7 columns , all are varchar
SALE_2007
C1 VARCHAR2(255),
C2 VARCHAR2(255),
C3 VARCHAR2(255),
C4 VARCHAR2(255),
C5 VARCHAR2(255),
C6 VARCHAR2(255),
C7 VARCHAR2(255)
target also has 7 columns , first four column were varchar and the last 3 columns were numeric(20,2).
SALE
TIMECODE VARCHAR2(255),
CUSTCODE VARCHAR2(255),
SALECODE VARCHAR2(255),
PRODUCTCODE VARCHAR2(255),
AMOUNT NUMERIC(20,2),
COST NUMERIC(20,2),
SALEAMOUNT NUMERIC(20,2)
I have mapping the transformation on the staging with these function (ordering by order as above)
SALE_2007.C1
SALE_2007.C2
SALE_2007.C3
SALE_2007.C4
TO_NUMBER(REPLACE(SALE_2007.C5,',',''))
TO_NUMBER(REPLACE(SALE_2007.C6,',',''))
TO_NUMBER(REPLACE(SALE_2007.C7,',',''))
I have to use replace function because in the text file there is a comma in the data eg. 1,400.35
and the ODI will error in the step insert into flow table with error
+1722 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01722: invalid number+
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01722: invalid number*
Please advise
Thank you all

Hi-
It seems like there is non-numeric characters present in your C5-C7 columns. Please check your source data for these columns.
Thanks,

Problem with flat file loading/Special characters

Hi, All,
We just migrated from Version 3.0B to BI7.0, and I've a problem which I can't handle for the moment. We are in Unicode, current codepage of the server is 4103 and codepage of frontend is 4110 (from SNL1 Transaction).
I'm loading czech texts in my material, via CSV files. The CSV file is correct on my PC, I see the special characters.
The problem is on my loading, whatever Character set I choose in the Infopackage (I choose Standard or Character Set Setting User-dependant), I cannot see the good characters.
Does any one of you already encounter this kind of problem, and, if yes, how did you solve it ?
Thanks

hi,
check out with your flat file letter's type, if it's in lower case letter's change them in
upper case letter's. or otherwise change the infobject's type as-- select check box
corresponding to lower case letter's in infoobject.
if helpful provide points

Problem with Fixed File to Oracle - LKM File to Oracle (SQLLDR)

Hi all,
I have a problem when I try to load data from a fixed file to a Oracle table.
I had created my Datastore as a File and with the "Inversion" I set all the columns definition of my fixed file.
When I try to execute the interface, I have this error:
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython: Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 3, in ?
OS command has signalled errors
ecc...
I looked the file CTL, created by ODI and it looks like this:
OPTIONS (
+     SKIP=0,+
+     ERRORS=0,+
+     DIRECT=FALSE+
+     )+
LOAD DATA
INFILE "c://Dati_Gabel_ODI/SPEDITO.TXT"
BADFILE "c://SPEDITO.bad"
DISCARDFILE "c://SPEDITO.dsc"
DISCARDMAX 1

*     C1_CODCLI     POSITION(:),*
*     C2_DESMER     POSITION(:),*
*     C3_AZIEND     POSITION(:),*
It seems to me that it's missing the start and the end position of the columns in the file ...
Why it do so ? I do something wrong ?
Thanks for the help !
Umberto

Hi Umberto,
This is a known issue in ODI version 10.1.3.4.0.
Please check the mapping between the source and the target. All the mappings must be done in the Staging Area.
For that all you need to do is make sure the option button(Staging Area) is chosen.
Thanks,
Saravanan

Problem with flat file upload with ASCII file

Hi All,
I am trying to load data into an ODS object via PSA using a text file (tab delimited). I have the following settings in my InfoPackage
External Data tab: ASCII File
Seperator for thousands:
Character for decimal point:
Currency Conversion:
Number of Header rows to be ignored: 1
Processing tab: Only PSA and Update into data targets subsequently
When I do a preview the data is not showing up in the right format....the tab seperation does not work and data is garbled with extra hexadecimal characters too.
The same file contents in .csv format is loading the data in the right format and preview is fine too.
I need help trying to convert this csv file to .txt format.
Any clues are highly appreciated
Thank you

Hi,
If in the infopackage you click on a File Type ASCII-file (CR delimiter) radiobutton and then F1, youll see the help:
With an ASCII file as a data source, the data has to be available as a string in the format of the transfer structure. There are no data separators, empty characters are not ignored.
This means that:
-     you shouldnt use any delimiters among the record fields
-     all fields should have the length the system expects (length of the appropriate infoobject in transfer structure)
-     each record should be separated from the next by carriage return CR.
Since I think the program that converts file from Excel format into CR-delimited would be very useful, I created such program in VBA.
So, open your Excel file (if you have csv-file you can open it using Excel).
The program assumes that the first row of the file contain field names. Data itself begin from the 2nd row. Insert as the 1st and 2nd rows the new, blank rows.
Into A1 cell insert number of the last row with data, into B1 number of the last column. Certainly, it may be determined in the program, but I have not done it if someone wants it, s/he can try it.
Into fields of the 2nd row insert expected length of the field.
Make sure that Visual Bacis toolbar is seen. (If not tick in menu path: View/Toolbars/Visual Basic).
In this toolbar click on a Design Node icon.
Drag from the toolbar and drop into worksheet a Command button element.
Double click on the button. In the open window for Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() subroutine insert the following code:
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim J As Long, I As Long, L As Long
Dim FileName As String, Out As String, formatOut As String
Dim LenCell As Long
Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("SHEET1")
FileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Left(ThisWorkbook.Name, Len(ThisWorkbook.Name) - 3) & "txt"
Open FileName For Output As #1
For J = 4 To ws1.Cells(1, 1)
    Out = ""
    For I = 1 To ws1.Cells(1, 2)
        formatOut = (ws1.Cells(J, I))
        L = Len(formatOut)
        LenCell = Val(ws1.Cells(2, I))
        If L > LenCell Then
            formatOut = Left(formatOut, LenCell)
        Else
            Do While L < LenCell
                formatOut = formatOut & " "
                L = L + 1
            Loop
        End If
        Out = Out & formatOut
    Next
        Print #1, Out
Next
Close #1
Set ws1 = Nothing
MsgBox "File transformation finished!", vbOKOnly
Now return to Excel sheet, click again Design Node icon switching into run mode.
When you press on this button now, the ASCII program will be created. It will have the same name as an input file (and in the same directory), but with TXT extention.
Remarks:
-     The program works with the current worksheet named as SHEET1.
-     Fields that are shorter than those expected by the system are padded by spaces from the right. It should not be the problem, since in transfer structure you can check symbols only flag.
-     Longer fields are truncated to the length expected.
Best regards,
Eugene

Load flat file into oracle with SQL Loader

Hi All,
Oracle 9i
I want to load flat file into oracle with the help of sqlloader but I want to skip some columns from flat file.
Can anyone tell me how can we skip column from flat file , I can’t open flat file into excel as CSV due to large volume
Does anyone has any solution for the same.
Umesh Goel

Filler can be use when we want to skip database table column or we want to put null in database table column
but if we have 10 column in flat file and we want to load 1,2,5,7 number column from flat file
then I think filler will not work
If yes then plz let me know.
thx

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!

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??

Flat file to Oracle Database - Invalid Month

Hi All
I am New to XI and trying to create a simple interface between Legacy system (flat file) and Oracle database.
I have some date fields in the Oracle table.
When i run the interface it says "invalid month" with some SQL exception number.
I am using (mm/dd/yyyy) format for the date.
Is there any conversion i need to do. I am using XML SQL format for Oracle database.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Nagakishore

Hello,
Oracle is very picky with the way date is stored. Assume that you have a field datefield that you need to save. In mapping add an attribute hasqQuote and set it to "NO". When mapping the value to the node use to_date as shown below.
<DateField hasQuot="No">
TO_DATE("2004-07-20", "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss")</DateField>
cheers,
Naveen

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,

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.

Problem with .jnlp files

I have an iMac running 10.6.8. I'm having a problem with .jnlp files. I've downloaded two, cgoban.jnlp and gopanda.jnlp. When I double-click the file, nothing happens. If I Control-click and select Open With Java Web Start, same. Nothing happens. Software Update says my Java is up to date. Any ideas?

A few other similar threads were solved by this — I'd like to give credit where credit's due but I can't find the original posting.

How to load 2 fields out of 3 from flat file to Oracle in one interface?

Hi,
Is there any way to selectively load flat file into oracle within one interface. For example if my flat file has this structure:
test_cid
test_ind
test_data
and my table is:
test_code ( correspond to test_cid above)
test_data (correspond to test_data above)
That can be done with two interfaces ( first to load the file into oracle staging and second to load the target oracle table from staging oracle table). Is there a way to make it in one interface?
Edited by: vzaslav on Oct 21, 2009 1:26 PM

That works for small tables. For big tables you need to accomodate for extra space as you will need to have at least twice as much space for working/integration tables and that is what we are trying to avoid.
In fact I was able to modify the LKM to load the file into oracle, however my integration step fails and I cannot make it work. To make lkm work one need to change getColList in create working table/generate ctl file steps to getSrcColList. That will create the working table based on source file structure and not on target table structure.
That doesn't work for IKM however. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank You.

Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

problems with .ARW files and auto toning
let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
allow me to explain
lets say I import 100 images
i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
thanks for the help

sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
i've disabled it now
thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.
