Read flat file into IDOC

Hello All,
I have a file in application server, now I need to convert this file into IDOC format and save the records in SAP database. Can any one provide us the steps to do this. I would like to know how to create a port for file type to read the flat file.
Thank you,

Hi,
Create a Z program in se38 and in that you will have to make use of OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET statements to read the fiel from the application server.
IDOC is just an intermediate document with some structure.
It does not have a capability to read a file by itself.
The file had to be explicitely read from the application server making use of the above statements and then pass the data to the idoc structure.
For more help do F1 on these statements.
Regards,
Ankur Parab

Unsorted Flat File into IDoc with multiple use of nodes

Hi Experts!
I am facing a little problem. I have a source flat file for a classification where some fields appear several times.
My source flat file looks like this:
item1; field1a
item2; fieldA
item3; fieldxa
item1; field1b
as you can see the item1 exists twice (further appearances are also possible).
Now i have to map the flat file into an IDoc structure
My target IDoc looks like this
Header
-- node1
attribute1
-- node2
the "field1a" and "field1b" has to be mapped into the "attribute1" in "node1". "node1" has to be duplicated for each time an "item1" appears (.. and if item2, item3 etc. appears twice, three ... four times...).
So how can i reach it that the node1 will be duplicated automatically when an item appears twice or more times? I know that it could be possible to work with "SplitByValue"... but for this i need all item1 in an straight order.... but i dont have them in a correct order.
I am looking forward to your suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

Complex sorting is not or not easy possible with the grafical mapping tool.
Use a sequence mapping. The first mapping is a simple XSLT which does the sort. The second mapping works as usual.
I have an example XSLT which I used for a different purpose:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
    <ORDERLIST>
      <xsl:for-each select="ORDERLIST/ITEM">
        <xsl:sort select="ID"/>
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </ORDERLIST>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

IDoc flat file to IDoc

I am receiving flat file in SFTP Server which need to be posted into SAP (No mapping involved)
What will be the best approach ?
1. I tried using IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor (The limitation in the format of source file. The parent and child node relationship should be explicitly mentioned in IDoc flat file which legacy system is not able to do) - Any workarounds ?
2. I moved the Idoc flat file into SAP application server. Now need to schedule job using program RSEINB00
3. File Content Conversion
Any other better solution ? Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards,
Jose Augastine

For converting Idoc Flat file to idoc xml, ABAP mapping is one of the feasible option.

Error while loading flat file into DSO

Hi
I am loading data from a flat file into a DSO. My fields in the flat file are Trans_Dt, (CHAR) Particulars (CHAR), Card_Name, (CHAR) Exps_Type, (CHAR)
Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt, (CURR)
0Currency (CHAR)
In the proposal tab apart from the above mentioned fields 3 additional fields viz, field 10, field 11, and field 12 have come. How did these 3 additional fields come when I don't have any additional fields in my flat file? I've deleted these extra 3 fields though.
When I activate the DataSource it is getting activated but then I get the message 'Data structures were changed. Start transactions before hand'. What does this message mean?
When I hit the 'Read preview data' button it doesn't show me any data and gives me the error Missing reference to currency field / unit field for the fields Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt
How do I create a reference field to the above mentioned fields?
Earlier I didn't have the 0Currency field in the flat file. But in my DSO while creating the key figures by default the 0Currency field also got created which is quite obvious. Now while activating the transformations I was getting a message that 'No source field for the field 0Currency'. Hence I had to create a new field in my flat file called 0Currency and load it with USD in all rows.
Please help me in loading this flat file into the DSO.
Thank you.
TR.

Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for your answers. with your help I could see the data in the 'Read preview data' and schedule the load. I did use all the Info objects in the info objects column of the data source to load the flat file.
The data is in PSA successfully without any issues. but when I executed the DTP it failed with errors.
Earlier there was no mapping from Currency field in source to the all the key figure fields in the target in the transformation. The mapping was only from Currency to 0CURRENCY but still the transformation got activated. As per your advise I mapped Currency field to the remaining Key Figure fields but then I am getting the error
'Source parameter CURRENCY is not being used'
Why is that so?
list of Errors after executing the DTP:
1. 'Record filtered because records with the same key contain errors'
Message:
Diagnosis: The data record was filtered out becoz data records with the same key have already been filtered out in the current step for other reasons and the current update is non-commutative (for example, MOVE). This means that data records cannot be exchanged on the basis of the semantic key.
System Response: The data record is filtered out; further processing is performed in accordance with the settings chosen for error handling.
Procedure: Check these data records and data records with the same key for errors and then update them.
Procedure for System administration
Can you please explain this error and how should I fix this error.
2. Exception input_not_numeric; see long text - ID RSTRAN
Diagnosis: An exception input_not_numeric was raised while executing function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ.

Processing the corresponding record has been terminated.
Procedure
To analyse the cause, set a break point in the program of the transformation at the call point of function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ. Simulate the data transfer process to investigate the cause.
Procedure for System Administration
What does this error mean? How do I set a breakpoint in the program to fix this error inorder to load the data?

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

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)

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.

How can I load a flat file into a ZTABLE dynamically

I need to create a program which can Load a ZTABLE from a flat file structure (delimited and fixed options required). We have many ZTables where this will be required so I was hoping to do it dynamically somehow. Otherwise I will have to create one ABAP for every ZTable we have to load.
My Inputs should be
PARAMETERS: p_ztable TYPE ddobjname,         "Z Table Name
             p_infile(132) LOWER CASE,        "File Name
             p_delim(1).                      "Delimiter
I know that I can read the file by using gui_upload
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                = c_infile
      has_field_separator     = p_delim
    TABLES
      data_tab                = indata
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
        OTHERS                  = 9.
I know that I can split the contents of this file (if a delimiter is used). However I will not know the actual field names of the table until runtime as to what to fields to split it into. In the example below I have the actual table (t_rec) and each of the fields (pernr, lgart, etc) in the code but each table I
need to load will be different – it will have a different # of fields as well.
FORM read_data_pc.
LOOP AT indata.
    PERFORM splitdata USING indata.
    APPEND t_rec.
    CLEAR t_rec.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.
FORM splitdata USING p_infile.
   SPLIT p_infile AT p_delim INTO
        t_rec-pernr                 "Employee #
        t_rec-lgart                 "Wage Type
        t_rec-begda                 "Effective date
        t_rec-endda.                 "End date
ENDFORM.
Once I split the data into the fields then I can just look and insert the record.
Does anyone have any ideas? Specific code examples would be great if you do. Thx!!

Uploading the data from a flat file into ztable

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to upload the data from 2 flat files into 2 z tables(ZRB_HDR,ZRB_ITM).From the 1st flat file only data for few fields have to be uploaded into ztable(ZRB_HRD) .Fromthe 2nd flat file data for all the fields have to me uploaded into ztable(ZRB_ITM). How can I do this?
Regards,
Hema

hi,
declare two internal table with structur of your tables.
your flat files should be .txt files.
now make use of GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload your flatfile into internal tables.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename            = 'c:\file1.txt'
      has_field_separator = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab            = itab1
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS              = 1.
use this function twice for two tables.
then loop them individually and make use of insert command.

IDOC Flat File-- XI-- IDOC

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein we have to read the IDOC flat file and post it as IDOC to SAP using XI. I understand we have to use the Flat File Sender adapter and the IDOC Receiver Adapter. On the Sender Side we have to define the Content Conversion to convert the IDOC Flat File to IDOC XML. Writing File Content Conversion for the IDOC Flat File would be very tedious because of the number of fields and fixed structure of the flat file.
I have don through the following guide Section 3.2 where it talks abt converting IDOC to IDOC XML using reportRSEINB00.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/xi-how-to-guides/how%20to%20convert%20between%20idoc%20and%20xml%20in%20xi%203.0.pdf
I am not clear how to invoke this report in the Flat File Sender adapter. Also is there any other approach.
Thanks
Rajeev Gupta

Hi Rajeev
You have a flatfile at the sender side so you dnt have any feasiable option to do other than FCC....FCC is not a tediuos one...if you can provide the strucutrre we will help you out...
Check out you have a fixedlength file or piple separated one....
In the functional design how many fields re present and buil the DT,MT MI accoprdingly.....
you have to just use some conecnt conversion parameters that's it...
item.fieldSeparator
item.endSeparator
item.fieldNames
here item is your recordset name
let us know your strucutre

IDOC to Flat file and Flat file to IDOC

Hello Experts,
I have the following requirement in my current project:
Third Party Sender sends the data in the in the below XML format via HTTP:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fxEnvelope>
<header>
    <message>
      <exchangeID></exchangeID>
      <messageID></messageID>
      <subject></subject>
      <payloadType>IDOC</payloadType>
    </message>
    <from>
      <orgID></orgID>
      <locationID></locationID>
      <messageID></messageID>
    </from>
    <to>
      <orgID></orgID>
      <locationID></locationID>
    </to>
</header>
<body>
    <Opaque>
      <DataType></DataType>
      <DataStream></DataStream>
    </Opaque>
</body>
</fxEnvelope>
In the above XML, the Tag <DataStream> is a string which contains the IDOC flat file.
Now, the scenario is HTTP to IDOC, where the sender sends the above XML payload and PI needs to convert <DataStream> to IDOC XML and pass it on to the receiver R/3.
But the challange i am facing is converting this <DataStream> tag which contains the IDOC flat file to IDOC XML using a Mapping program.Since both adapters are running on ABAP stack i can not go for Adapter Modules available(We are using PI 7.10).
Looking for some guidance on the same.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Manasa.

There are 2 options for you
In either case, you might need a java mapping to convert the DataStream into String. Use a file adpater to write this string to IDOC-File.
1) Option1: Write the content of DataStream into IDOC-Flatfile.(java mapping) Pick it from PI to convert IDOC-flat file inot IDOC-XML (using std features of PI) & send it to ECC.
2) Option2: Write the Content of DataStream to IDOC-Flatfile (accessible to ECC system). Configure WE21 to pick the file from a file port.
If the datastream was IDOC-XML, then it would have been simpler, it will be a direct communcation from PI to ECC (using java mapping & IDOC adapter).
