Question about Creating DataSources for FlatFile Data Acquisition

Hello eveyone,
I am trying to create flatfile datasources.  I've been checking out the existing ds in my dev system and there are some infrastructure here that have loaded data in them, all via their won flatfile DS.  I've been looking at the DS and am trying to figure out logic in which they are defined. I saw that most of the fields are defined in CHAR even if they pertain to fields like quantity, Amount and so on...  They are also in the Internal format.  Yet they have been successfully loaded...
My question is:  what are the rules of thumb in defining the DS?  How do i go about in mapping the fields to objects in the system?  Can anyone please give me the step-by-step scenario as to how to do this please?
Many thanks,
Philips

Hi Philip,
Pls. try the following steps ..may be helpful.
1. when ever you want to create a flat file structure..keep in mind that, what are
    fields data available in your file. second thing is you need to know the IO of
    the info provider in which you are uploading.
2. simply create your own DS with PC File, and other hand open up your infprovider, and keep on check with your flat file what is the sequence of the data
fields and what are they corresponds to in the cube/ODS
3. As your flat file sequence, keep on identify the related IO of your provider and
copy it individual and paste it in your infosouce one by one as sequence of your
flat file..
4. No need to think of what type of data it is and how it is..
5. simply copy all your correponding IO (what ever of their type) even including
    some of the ref. IO.
6. And finally save and activate your DS creation.
I hope it would help in creating your own Flat File DS.
Need further info revert...
Cheers,
Thanks=Points.

  • Question about key mapping for bank data in SP3 standard Vendor Repository

    Hello Colleagues:
    The situation is the following:
    1) MDM Standard vendor repository does not use Key Mapping for the qualified table data "Bank Details". This makes sense because normally you would pay a vendor in the same account and bank regardless of the company or R/3 system you are paying him from.
    2) However, here in my project customer don't have the same bank data for all of the 3 R/3 Systems. Furthermore, they would like to pay a vendor in a diferent bank and account number; depending on where the payment is generated (Company or R/3 system).
    Because of this, I though about creating a lookup table for the banks which would use key mapping. I did this and I had no trouble importing bank data in to it.
    Now I have this tables:
    1) Banks: Lookup Flat:
    Country and Bank Key as display fields.
    2) Bank Details: Qualified Flat:
    2.a) Field "Bank" as a non-qualifier display lookup field which points to a record on "Banks" table (Described in number 1).
    2.b) The rest of the fields (Account number, Account holder, Reference, etc.) as qualifier non-display fields.
    This aproach works well in data manager.
    However, when I try to import vendors from R/3, I'm not being able to map the bank details, not even with "compound field" functionality, because I cannot map the display fields in the "Banks" lookup table (Described in number 1); in the "Map Fields/Values" tab in the Destination fields pane, it won't show any fields from this table.
    Also, I'm not very sure if I will be able to syndicate this data back to the R/3 systems correctly, this is; replicate only the banks which exist on each R/3 client system.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Please help.
    Best Regards,
    Jorge.

    ... Where
    did Terminal's default keystrokes (e.g., Esc,[5C for
    ctrl-right-arrow) come from? They just produce
    annoying beeps in bash. Are they standard sequences
    for some shell that I don't know about? I
    Somewhere deep in the bowels of computer history....for example

    that is to say, these codes date back to early hardware terminals such as the VT100. I believe. And that is why Terminal is a member of a class of software called "terminal emulators".

  • GridBagLayout - Question about Creating Borders for Cells

    Hello Everyone,
    I am implementing a table-like design using a Grid Bag Layout and I do not wish to use a J Table. Since a grid bag layout utilizes cells (rows and columns) to create its' design, I was wondering if any of you knew of a way to create borders for the cells inside of a Grid Bag Layout.
    The reason I ask is because, lets say for instance cell (1, 0) may occupy a single J Label. I can easily create a border for this particular cell or label, by calling label.setBorder(). However, what if a single cell occupied two JLabels and they were sort of strangely aligned. I wouldn't be able to call setBorder on the labels anymore because that will just create two separate sets of borders. What I want to do is create a border for that particular cell.
    The final result that I want it to look like is almost identical to a J Table where all the rows and columns have separating lines between all the cells. Something similar to this...
    http://www.wwffinc.com/other-images/table1-693771.jpg
    Thanks in advance!
    Brian

    However, what if a single cell occupied two JLabels and they were sort of strangely aligned. I wouldn't be able to call setBorder on the labels anymore because that will just create two separate sets of bordersThen create a panel and add the two labels to the panel. Then add the border to the panel.
    If you need further help then you need to create a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html], that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
    Don't forget to use the [Code Formatting Tags|http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting], so the posted code retains its original formatting.

  • Question about creating Certificates for Out of Band management

    I would like to use out of band management for supporting clients in remote offices.  I am following the instructions at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/230dfec0-bddb-4429-a5db-30020e881f1e#BKMK_AMT2008_cm2012 in the "Deploying Certificates
    for AMT" section.  It says:
    If you cannot complete steps 18 or 19, check that you are using the Enterprise Edition of Windows Server 2008. Although you can configure templates with Windows Server Standard Edition and Certificate Services, you cannot deploy certificates using modified
    certificate templates unless you are using the Enterprise Edition of Windows Server 2008.
    My Certificate Authority server is Server 2008R2 Standard.  When I right click on Certificate Templates -> New -> Certificate Template to Issue, I do not see the ConfigMgr AMT Provisioning and ConfigMgr AMT Web Server Certificates.  I know
    the box says 2008 Standard isn't supported, but I am using 2008R2 Standard, not 2008.  Why am I not able to see either certificate.  If it is because I am using the Standard Edition, than how can I create the certificates needed?  Upgrading
    to Enterprise is not an available solution (cost reasons).  Does this mean that OOB management certificate creation is not supported on Server 2008R2 Standard, and so I will not be able to use ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 for out of band management because I am
    unable to generate the required certificates?

    Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
    In order to use the cert template, you must use an Enterprise version of Windows. Only the Enterprise (or datacenter) version have the right version of the Certificate server.

  • A question about creating packages as local objects in ABAP

    Hi,
    I have a question about creating packages with SE80. Whenever I create a new package it is assigned a new transport request. After that, I can create new programs inside this package, and each time I can choose whether to assign the new program to a transport request or just save it as a local object (I often do this for test programs that I don't transport and I remove them once my tests have been done).
    What I would like to ask is that, is it possible to create a package (and not just programs inside a given package) as a local object? so that every new object created in this package will be considered as a local object?
    Thanks in advane,
    Kind Regards,

    Please also check the F1 help for the package field e.g. in SE80, SAP standard is in range A-S and U-X, namespaces start with "/", so you should be save. I am using the T namespace for temporary stuff since a long time and did not have a problem so far.

    Thank you very much for this remark, I checked F1 help for the package field and in fact as you mentioned these ranges are for local objects.

  • Questions about Feature Licenses for 1800, 2800, 3800, 2900, 3900 series ISRs

    Hey all,
    I have a question about feature licensing for Cisco ISR 1800, 2800, 3800, 2900 series. I know there are differences between all of the series. My main question which applies for all the Cisco ISR series is this:
    "If I want to upgrade the IOS to a newer version and upgrade from the basic feature set, do I need to get a license from Cisco? "
    If yes:
    And if so, how do I go about purchasing a license? Is a support contract needed?
    Again, I need to know for each Cisco ISR series. I'd appreciate any help on this. 
    Thanks,
    John

    You probably want to reach your SE/AM about this so they can explain you exactly how this works, maybe some sales material, or you can also reach pre-sales.

  • Datasource for master data attributes : QUAN fields ?

    Hi,
    In the datasources for master data attributes (in R3), fields type QUAN are in the extraction structure but not in the datasource (for example field LFMNG is in extraction structure BIW_MVKE_S but is not in the datasource 0MAT_SALES_ATTR).
    Is there a standard way to have these fields type QUAN in master data attributes ?
    Otherwise I think to this solution :
    => add a field ZZLFMNG type DEC (DEC fields are in the datasource for master data attributes) in a structure append of BIW_MVKE_S
    => in the user-exit for master data attributes : move the value of LFMNG to ZZLFMNG
    => in the infosource in BW  : assign an infoobject type QUAN to the field ZZLFMNG
    What do you think of it ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
        I'm adding this field LFMNG too, but after I update the roosfield table an error occurs in RSA6.
        This error said that the MEINS field is hide in the DataSource. But we there isn't this field there. Someone knows what should I do?
    Thanks!

  • Creation of DataSource for FlatFile Interface in BI 7

    Hi Y'all!
    Can anyone please give me urgent assistance in creating/defining a DataSource for the FlatFile Scenario in BI 7.0.  I've been trying to no avail.  I certain I am doing this incorrectly, as such I seek your assistance.  Can anyone please be so kind as to give me a step-by-step walkthrough of the specific individual steps (in sequence) in creating/defining DataSources...  Also can this be accepted as a character (08-MAY-07)?
    Much thanks!
    Philips

    Hi,
    The following step can help you..
    1. create a info source and assign the data source -
    2. select data source as PC File ( give any name tech & desc)
    3. create a info source structure by include all individual info objects / har. keyfig
        those are available in your file
    4. you can always take the reference of the info objects from the cube/ODS as to
        make info source staructure easy
    5. map the corresponding info objects in the trasfer structure
    6. save and activate the info source
    7. go to your info provider cube/ODS and right click - select - create update rules
        select the name of the file data source name as given above
    8. map them as defult one-to-one mapping until other wise you have some require
        ment in data manipulation through update rules.
    9. save and activate.
    10. come to the info source - create a info package - select source as .CSV file
         and preview it before you actually load.
    11. as far as date is concern in your falt file..select the entire column of the date
         then goto-format column-select 'customize' then put format as 000000 (six
         zeros ) for 0calmonth.
    12. when you lookat the date at infoprovider it shows like 20070508 but
          when you execute in a query it displays its text as 08-May-2007
    I hope it would help you to understand and get your purpose solve.

  • Question about creating Stack!!

    Can someone please help me....I need help on creating a stack..I don't understand the whole point of stack..I help on how to this question...please show me how to start this question..
    You are to implement a class called Stack using arrays as internal storage mechanisms . Note well, you cannot use the java Stack class. You are to implement the following instance methods (interfaces are provided below)....etc

    It sounds to me as if you need to understand the nature of a stack before you go about implementing it. Use http://www.google.com and search for "stack data structure java". There are a number of good references available there.

  • Problems importing a datasource for a Data Merge? It might be one word...

    For the life of me, I could not figure out why this one CSV file was not importing correctly into InDesign CS6. I could see the datasource in the Links panel but nothing showed up in the Data Merge panel.
    Through trial and error, I figured it out.
    In the CSV file, one of the column headers used the word table. It's what the client gave me, so I never thought much about it. Once I changed the word table to seating, the CSV imported properly into my InDesign file and all was right with the world.
    One word, I couldn't believe it...
    Hopefully this will save you from all the trouble I went through.
