Regarding flat file load to DSO...

Hi Experts,
I am trying to load transaction data from flat file to DSO in BI7.0 that comprises two characteristics and one keyfigure. The characteristics type is char and keyfigure's type is int.  Till PSA, data is fine.  In transformation, I have just done one-to-one mapping with source field and target field, but while executing DTP, the error popped up as follows,
Data package 1:Errors during processing
Extraction completed, processing termination
Please help. I tried various combinations, but not able to schedule.  Valuable answers would be awarded remarkably.
Thanks,

Hi there...
Here are some ideas to Ur problem
Assuming that u defined info objects correctly, length and types... and u mapped transformations correctly
And ur data in flat file is absolutely correct...
Of course very common but suggestible is plz check the data lengths in flat file  and defined length of the info object.. If yes
Come to Data source and check the settings for the flat file ,separater and escape sign and rows to ignored..and check the data preview...
Plz compare the data in PSA and Flat file... plz do this very carefully... If yes...
Go to data source and at the FIELDS tab and check whether u assigned info objects correctly...if yes...
Check the conversion routines in the same screen of the tab FIELDS.. if for key figure u see PER16.. Remove it and try to load to PSA and do load the cube..
Hope this can give u an idea...
Regrds...KP

  • Best practise around handling time dependency for flat file loads

    Hi folks,
    This is a fairly common situation - handling time dependency for flat file loads. Please can anyone share their experience around handling this. One common approach is to handle the time validity changes within the flat file where it is easily changeable by the user but then again is prone to input errors by the user. Another would be to handle this via a DSO. Possibly, also have this data entered directly in BI using IP planning layouts. There is a IP planning function that allows for loading flat file data but then again, it only works without the time dependency factor.
    It would be great to hear thoughts or if anyone can point to a best practise document for such a scenario.
    Thanks.

  • Unit Code, Commercial Code - Flat File loading vs BPS Loading

    Hi SDN Community,
    Recently, we have moved our flat file loading to be performed by BPS interfaces.
    During flat file loads, the Commercial code of all units of measures, are verified.
    eg.DAY
    But when loaded by BPS, the UNIT code is verified.
    eg. TAG.
    In the display of the BPS upload, it displays DAY which is the commercial code.
    The only thing, is the customer is forced to use TAG in the BPS upload files.
    They wish to create another record in the transaction
    CUNI to be
    Unit code = DAY
    Commercial code = DAY.
    However, i have found that we cannot allocate the same commercial code to another unit code.
    Is this a design constraint, or a process error that i am doing.
    Thank you.

    Dear customer,
    As i do not fully understand how this works, but the base table T006A
    has 2 entries, 1 for english, 1 for German, should it not be that the
    English EN entry field be working rather that the German DE, hence DAY
    should be used? Can you please confirm my understanding on this?
    >>> If you check my attachment "SE16.xls", you can see that it's for
    language >>English<<, and the internal format is TAG while the external
    format is DAY.
    - Are there any plans to modify the BPS functionality in newer SAP BW
    versions to allow the customer to indicate the same UOM as per flat
    file laods? Or is an upgraded Support Pack that allows this?
    - If not, would it be possible to make any customer enhancements to
    allow this to take place depending on customer requirements.
    >>> There is no plan at this moment to change this BPS functionality
    in newer SAP BW versions or support packages.
    We really recommend you to use internal format TAG in the upload file
    in BPS which I think should be acceptable and feasible to you. All
    other ways trying to use external format is risky and we cannot assure
    you that it will work well as it's not SAP standard function. (I think
    it's not worth the risk as the standard function which requires
    internal format should not be too unacceptable)
    Thanks for your understanding.
    I also don't think my BC-SRV-ASF-UOM colleague would be able to help
    you a lot regarding this.

  • Transformation not generating-Flat file loading

    Hello guys, I hope you can help me with this little confusion I have on BI7 Flat file loading.
    I got a File (CSV) on my workstation. I am trying to load Master Data. Here is the example of my file and issues:
    Lets say, I have CSV file named "CarModel.CSV" on my PC.
    This excel file has 10 Records and No atributes for this Field.
    So the records should show like this and it is showing correctly in PSA level, DS level.
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    My goal is to load Flat file data to InfoObject (inserted in Infoprovider)
    I created Source system, DS, all thats stuffs.
    I am now on Display DS screen under Proposal Tab. I am putting 10 Records to show and hitting Load example data....it works fine by showing all 10 records. However in the bottom part of this screen, what should show as a Field ?In my case , First it was showing the First Record ("A")...i didnt think it was correct but i prceeded anyways. Transformation could not be generated.
    I tried by deleting "1" from the field "No. of header rows to be ignored" and its the same result ..No transformations.. I mean i know its very simple to load this data but i am not sure what i am doing wrong..My question is:
    1) What should show under Field/propasal tab in my case?am i supposed to create this Field?
    2) Should the system to propse the field which is from my flat file header ?in my case i dont have any header..should i have include header in my csv file like "car model"? i am confused please give me some info thanks
    dk

    Hi,
    In filed tab, u have to enter ur infoobject names in an order...and press enter it'll automatically give the description and its other factors...
    i guess u shuld have some header in the sense eg: customer,cust ID like this..this only u have to enter as fields...in proposal tab...try that

  • Error while creating process chain for flat file loading

    Hi All,
    I had Created a process Chain to load Transactiion data(Full load) form flat file which is in my computer.
    start>Load>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE--> Create Index
    but the system is throwing an error as "An upload from the client workstation in the background is not possible."
    I dont know why this error is coming?
    Can some one help me
    Regards
    Mamta

    Hi Mamta,
    Basically if you want to load the DS through FF using process chain, the FF has to be placed in Application server. We cant load the FF when it is located in the client local workstation(FF On your PC).
    So better you remove the Infopackage step from the PC. Load the IP manually. Once it is completed you can start the process chain with the following steps:
    start>DTP>DeleteIndex>DTP loading CUBE> Create Index
    Hope it is clear & helpful!

  • Issue with flat file loading timing out

    Hello
    I have a scenario, where I am loading a flat file with 65k records into a cube. The problem is, in the loading process, I have to look up the 0Material table which has a million records.
    I do have an internal table in the program, where I select a subset of the Material table ie around 20k to 30k records. But my extraction process takes more than 1 1/2 hrs and is failing (timed out).
    How can i address this issue? I tried building indexes on the Material table and its not helping.
    Thanks,
    Srinivas.

    Unfortunately, this is BW 3.5, so there is no END routine option here. And I tried both .csv and notepad file methods, and both are creating problems for us.
    This is the total code, do you guyz see any potential issues:
    Start Routine (main code)
    refresh i_oldmats.
    refresh ZI_MATL.
    data: wa_datapak type transfer_structure.
    loop at datapak into wa_datapak. (** I collect all the old material numbers from my flat file into an internal table i_oldmats**)
       i_oldmats-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL = wa_datapak-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL.
       collect i_oldmats.
    endloop.
    sort i_oldmats.
      SELECT /BIC/ZZOLDMATL MATERIAL (** ZI_MATL only has recs. where old materials exist, this gets about 300k records out of 1M**)
             FROM /BI0/PMATERIAL
             INTO ZI_MATL FOR ALL
             ENTRIES in i_oldmats WHERE
              /BIC/ZZOLDMATL = i_oldmats-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL .
                collect    ZI_MATL.
      Endselect.
      Sort ZI_MATL.

  • 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 ?

  • BI7 Flat file loading

    Hello
    I am trying to load flat file from my workstation to BI. I have a transaction data, in which 4 chars IO filed and 3 KFs field. I am little confusion about loading in BI7 since Infosource , TR, UR not required.
    I am creating flat file source system and DS as well. I have info obj catalog for both Chars and kfs. do i have to load master data first ?before loading transactional? i have data in excel format all master data in different file , and also Transaction data (include MD and kfs) in one file. can i just create DS for transaction data and then load or i have to create DS for each Chars IO to load master data first?
    when i tried to create DS fro trans data , for some reason under proposal tab it only populates one field, FIELD1, i assume i ll have to go to Field tabe and manuall select all fields by adding new rows..
    Could someone give me some idea on how to do the loading to infocube? i also tried to create Transformation , it gave me an error..
    when we create DS for transactional data using Flat file , wouldnt system supposed to map all the DS fields to the cube using Transformation, but its not happening to mine, please help...
    thanks
    DK

    Hi........
    Before loading transaction data you have to load Master data...
    1)  For each master data....ie IO.....you have to create one datasource.........
    You have to create datasource using tcode : RSO2.......
    The General tab is same for all datasource........
    In the Extraction tab...
    Real Time>> RDA is not supported......
    Adapter >> Load text type file from work station
    Name of the file >> select your file
    Header rows to be ignored >> 1
    Character set settings >> Default
    Data format >> Seperated with seperator...
    Data seperator>>;
    Escape sign >> #
    Number format >>Direct entry
    Thousands seperator>>.
    Decimal point seperator>>,
    SAP suggests the use of header row ,as the system can use this header information to help define fields on the file.
    The Proposal tab reads the header row and proposes field names and type..........here you have to choose load example data and take a look at the proposed list.Make sure that all fields are flagged Copy to Fieldlist......This proposed field is derived from the header line and contents of your flatfile....
    These proposed fiels and types can be changed in Fields tab........At this point you need to check if the field types and lenth are correct......In some cases proposal will not be accurate,and you will need to adjust the field types and length on the fields tab.....
    You file should be saved as .csv format.........
    2) Then you have to create an infopackage and load data till PSA......
    3) Then create transformation between the datasource(PSA) and the target(IO).........
    4)Then create DTP and load data..........
    After this in the same way you have to create datasource for transaction data...........the infopackage..........transformation ........DTP........process is same...........
