Error while loading data into External table from the flat files

HI ,
We have a data load in our project which feeds the oracle external tables with the data from the Flat Files(.bcp files) in unix.
While loading the data, we are encountering the following error.
Error occured (Error Code : -29913 and Error Message : ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04063: un) while loading data into table_ext
Please let us know what needs to be done in this case to solve this problem.
Thanks,

Hello
Is it possible to run process chain from the certain process?
How?
Thanks

Hello,
yes it possible! use the following steps.
1. Goto the process which you want the chain to start from.Goto display messages>> Chain tab. In the generated instance note the variant and instance.
2. Goto table RSPROCESSLOG and give variant and instance and get logid details.
3. t codese37>> run FM RSPROCESSFINISH.
4. give the deatils u have got in RSPROCESSLOG table here and say execute.
This will solve ur problem.

Is there any way to execute process chain from the portal?

Hello,
Is there any way to execute process chain from the portal? I dont want to link process chain with any of report. I want to have a button in some of portal folders. User presses the button and it executes the process chain.
I was thinking about to create a fake planning cube, aggregation level and planning function. I call FM within the Fox planning function that runs the process chain. But it should be done within the report.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi.
I want to have a button in some of portal folders
You mean that you want to use some link in EP ?

Need to create sale order from the flat file & mail has to be sent

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to create a sale order from a flat file and once the oder is created, mail has to be sent to customer as well as to internal user with the order details. I want to know how this process can be implemented and what adapters are needed to execute this.
it would be very helpful, if i get an step-by-step procedure.
Points assured for any helpful answers.
Thanks in Advance
Jai

HI Jai,
You need to create two interfaces as file will be sending the Sales oreder details that you need to capture in IDOC or RFC and then have to trigger to create the sales order. For this Standard BAPIs are also available.
These RFC or BAPIs will response with Sales order details that you need to divert to Mail adapter with the use of BPM and also have to go for Async to Sync bridge.
File -
>XI (BPM) ---> BAPI/RFC (Request)
MailAdapter <- XI (BPM) <--- BAPI/RFC (Response)
For this refer below links for step by step

If you will use IDOC then In IDOC inbound processing you need to trigger for Sales order creation and then have to send the Sales Order generated IDOC as an Outbound to Mail Adapter
Flat file -
> XI ---> IDOC
IDOC -
> XI ---> Mail
This will be bit easy scenario to develope as compare to using BAPI with BPM

BAPI_PO_CREATE1 not able to create PO's for multiple rows from the flat fil

Hi
i am uploading PO's from a flat file into SAP using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1. Everything works fine if the flat file hast only one record.
if the flat file has more than one record then while loading the second record the BAPI returns a error message. I am calling the BAPI in a loop.
The strange thing is that if i load the second record individually the program is able to create the PO. So only when i have multiple records in the flat file i am unable to load the PO into SAP. I debugged and checked all the internal tables passed to the BAPI. All seems to have the data correctly but still the BAPI fails.
any idea where i am going wrong?
the code looks something like this.
LOOP AT HEADER_ITAB.
   PERFORM FILL_HEADER_RECORDS.
LOOP AT ITEM_ITAB WHERE EBELN eq HEADER_ITAB-EBELN.
     PERFORM FILL_ITEM_RECORDS.
ENDLOOP.
PERFORM CERATE_PO_VIA_BAPI.
ENDLOOP.

What is the error message. Are you trying something like this:
    LOOP AT T_DATA1.
      AT NEW LIFNR.
        READ TABLE T_DATA1 INDEX SY-TABIX.
        PERFORM INIT_TABLES.

Restarting Process chain from the middle

Hi all, I have a question about process chain in BW7.0.
When the error has occured in the process chain, is there any way to restart the process chain from where the error has occured?
One of the way I came up with was to set the process type into Repairable from Repeatable,but when I try to change the status,the warning message shows up and I can't change it.
Is this the right idea,or is there any other way to do it?
Can any one tell me?
Thanks in Advance,
Hiroshi Iwanaga

First of all, find out the rootcause of the failure of the process step that failed and finish it manually. Then, go to the process chain...
Open the messages of a failed step by right clicking on it and selecting 'display messages'.
In the opened popup click on the tab 'Chain'.
In a parallel session goto transaction se16 for table rspcprocesslog and display the entries with the following selections:
1. copy the variant from the popup to the variante of table rspcprocesslog
2. copy the instance from the popup to the instance of table rspcprocesslog
3. copy the start date from the popup to the batchdate of table rspcprocesslog
Press F8 to display the entries of table rspcprocesslog.
Now open another session and goto transaction se37. Enter RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH as the name of the function module and run the fm in test mode.
Now copy the entries of table rspcprocesslog to the input parameters of the function module like described as follows:
1. rspcprocesslog-log_id -> i_logid
2. rspcprocesslog-type -> i_type
3. rspcprocesslog-variante -> i_variant
4. rspcprocesslog-instance -> i_instance
5. enter 'G' for parameter i_state (sets the status to green).
Now press F8 to run the fm.
Now the actual process will be set to green and the following process in the chain will be started and the chain can run to the end.
Of course you can also set the state of a specific step in the chain to any other possible value like 'R' = ended with errors, 'F' = finished, 'X' = cancelled ....
Check out the value help on field rspcprocesslog-state in transaction se16 for the possible values.
Assigning points is the way of saying thanks in SDN.

How to execute a process chain from the Manage option of a Cube

Hi,
I have created a planning Cube in BI 7.0 to which I am pushing the data through a workbook. However, the request does not turn into green by itself. For this I am using a FM .I have included this program in a Process Chain. I want this process chain to get trigger itself, the moment the data comes into the cube. This can be done either from the Cube or from the Workbook. Can anyone help me out with this.
Best Regards,
Debashree.

Its not a problem thats how real time cube works,
For a real time cube rquest wont be turned green untill the record volume is >10,000.
If the request is not closed(not GREEN status) and you still need to see the data use the specific 0REQUID technical characteristic.
OR
You can close these request using the functional module RSAPO_CLOSE_TRANS_REQUEST
Tips- 3 Variables do exist for these charecteristic as listed below
0S_RQMRC:
You should use this variable if you want a query to also return data that was yet not rolled up into the aggregates. However, only requests up to the first request with an incorrect status are displayed, transactional InfoCubes are therefore read in full.
0S_RQTRA:
Unlike the 0S_RQMRC variable, this only affects transactional InfoCubes. As during normal reading, only the data that is also in the aggregates is read from the other InfoCubes. You can use the variable in queries on a MulitProvider that consists of a transactional InfoCube for planned data and a second InfoCube for the actual data. In this case, the planned dates entered are immediately visible, but the actual data only becomes visible after the usual release procedure.
0S_RQALL:
This variable affects all InfoCubes. If a query contains this variable, all of the data in this InfoCube is read, regardless of whether or not it belongs to a request with an incorrect status.

Query on creating "Lead" from the Flat file

Hi Group,
I was trying to use the BAPI "BAPI_LEAD_CREATEMULTI" to create the lead.
I have a requirement for creating the Lead... and I have a few questions on creating the Lead like:
1)Does this Lead creation happen with the Business Partners or it has no
in no way connection with the Business Partners?
2)My requirement is that, I need to create leads for the records of the input file
which I get from the User and this looks like this with the fields as:
Sales prospect; Lead group; status; Qualification level; Origin; Priority; contact person; Lead group; status; Qualification level; Origin; and Priority.
(ie., 12 different input fields starting with Sales Prospect to Priority ).
In Sales Prospect, I will give the Business Partner # and also in the Contact Person.
Could you pls let me know how my requriement can be fulfilled( probably with some other code ).
Please give me your valuable suggestions on this to move further. And also, please give me some sample code to build this requirement.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Check the return structure in the BAPI if it contains only success message, then try giving <b>CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'</b> passing essential parameters immediately after the create bapi call.

What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

Hi,
I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far!
I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
Alternative 1
I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
Alternative 2
The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
Thanks,
Carsten.

Function module used to restart the process chain in the middle?

Hi all,
can anyone pls let me know the function module to restart the process chain in the middle of the process chain?
I need to run the process chain from the middle which can be done through a function module can anyone pls let me know!!
Thanks
pooja

what exactly your requirement is?
You can't trigger the process in the middle either it should be trigger by start variant or it's predessor.
If your chain failed in the middle - you can fix the prob and can do 'Repeat' option or you can also use FM 'RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH . (this FM will work only if the chain fails)

Creating reconciliation events from a flat file--a design question

Hello,
I am currently evaluating an existing OIM implementation to rebuild it using OIM 11g and have a question regarding the ideal method to create reconciliation events from a flat file.
The current implementation is using a web service call to process a flat file and creates the reconciliation events. This runs every hour.
Although this looks cool but I thought there was no need to go to the extent.
If OIM cannot consume the flat file directly, meaning if it needs some data massage, I can always load the data from the flat file into an external table, write a pl/sql procedure to transform the data and put it into a temporary global table and create reconciliation events like that.
What would be the ideal method to load data from a flat file into OIM?
THanks
Khanh

If it's a flat file, then have you looked at GTC option? And why any staging in between? OIM can read flat files just fine either through GTC or write up your own recon code.
