Can someone tell me the best way to read a flat file into Oracle8i?

You can use SQL*Loader

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

Here is a web page with easy to follow instructions regarding external files: http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/misc/ext_table.html.
Now I understand what all the excitement is over external tables.
"External tables can read flat files (that follow some rules) as though they were ordinary (although read-only) Oracle tables. Therefore, it is convenient to use external tables to load flat files into the DB." -from the above link.

Uploading Data from a Flat file into Oracle Database

Hi,
I am a novice to Java . SO, please bear with me. I have a reqiurement where I have a flat file or excel file from which I need to read the data and insert into Oracle Database. The falt file will exist on the client machine. I have been reading and I see this can be done through I/O Streams. Correct me if I am wrong. I am looking for a sample code to get started. Any Java expert has an answer for it, I will appreciate it.
Thanks

Uploading a flat file into Oracle

Hello guys
Can somebody please help me. I've got a flat file that i want to read into oracle via UTL Package. I can read the file successfully if I manually replace the dots with underscores. But when I receive the file, before I upload it into Oracle, it comes in with dots on the file name. eg. The file looks like this: 'IS.DIM16.EFTS.GG24.INTAUD.TEST_20090219105728' then I have to manually replace the dots with underscores to make the file look like this: 'IS_DIM16_EFTS_GG24_INTAUD.TEST_20090219105728'.
I don't want to change it manually. Is there a way to replace the dots with underscores before I read the file? Or is the a way to make Oracle read the dots? I've tried uploading the file with the dots but it gives me this error:
ORA-29283: invalid file operation.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

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.

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.

Ankur Parab

OWB - Flat file to oracle table

Second message, please read.

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??

Conversion of csv in flat file to oracle table format

hi friends
I have written a C code for conversion of flat file data to Comma seperated values
Now i have to put this .csv file into oracle tables.
Please suggest me a solution to this so that i can put this values into oracle tables

You can use Sql*Loader (sqlldr) :

Table created.

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.
System Response
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?
What does Procedure for System Administration mean?
Please advise.

Hi
Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

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
XXXXX             #
XXXXX             1                          100

XXXXX            12                           900
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.

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!!
