SM 35 Session log with data in flat file.

I have created a session from a flat file using LSMW, after running the session through SM35 is there a way by which I can get the details of data loaded in the log of SM35.
Example I am loading SAP HR data to infotypes but the SM35 log gives index value in the flat file rather than actual employee number (PERNR) uploaded on printing the log.

No That is not possible.

Need a script to import the data from flat file

Hi Friends,
Any one have any scripts to import the data from flat files into oracle database(Linux OS). I have to automate the script for every 30min to check any flat files in Incoming directory process them with out user interaction.
Thanks.

# Example INIT.ORA file
# This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize
# your RDBMS installation for your site. Important system parameters
# are discussed, and example settings given.
# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
# For parameters that require different values in different size
# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
# according to installation size.
# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
# three scenarious provided in this file:
# -------Installation/Database Size------
# SMALL MEDIUM LARGE
# Block 2K 4500K 6800K 17000K
# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
# This way, when you change a public
# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
# parameters. For example, if you choose to use private rollback segments,
# these must be specified in different files, but since all gc_*
# parameters must be the same on all instances, they should be in one file.
# INSTRUCTIONS: Edit this file and the other INIT files it calls for
# your site, either by using the values provided here or by providing
# your own. Then place an IFILE= line into each instance-specific
# INIT file that points at this file.
# NOTE: Parameter values suggested in this file are based on conservative

Data Source creation for Master Data from Flat File to BW

Hi,
I need to upload Master Data from Flat File. Can anybody tell step by step right from begining of creation of DataSource up to Loading into Master Data InfoObject.
can any body have Document.
Regards,
Chakri.

Hi,
This is the procedure.
1. Create m-data with or without attributes.
2. Create infosource .
    a) with flexible update
         or
    b) with direct update
3. Create transfer rules and assign tyhe names of m-data and attribute in "Transfer rules" tab and transfer them to communication structure.
4. Create the flat-file with same stucture as communication structure.
5. if chosen direct update then create infopackage and assign the name of flat-file and schedule it.
6. if chosen flexible update the create update rule with assigning name of the infosource and the schedule it by creating infopackage.
Hope this helps. If still have prob then let me know.
Follow this link also.

How to create the Export Data and Import Data using flat file interface

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.
1.f) Include APO Planning Version, Date of Planning Run, APO Location, Calendar Year/Month, Material and BW Plant as selection criteria.
2) Import Data:
2.a) Create a flat file source system InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to import ASCII fixed length flat files from the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
2.b) All fields for each InfoProvider should be mapped and imported from the flat file.
2.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
2.d) The file should be archived in the
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Archive directory. Each file name should have the date appended in YYYYMMDD format. Each file should be deleted from the \Out directory after it is archived.
Thanks in advance.

Here's some info on working with plists:

They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

Reading data from flat file Using TEXT_IO

How can i do ?

I have to check the file :-
Validation are 1st line should start from 0 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
The for 2nd line also same thing ..it should start from 9 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
Then the 3rd line should start from 1 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
After that i have to do a validation like i will read the 1st line 2nd column .. It should be like this BP-V1 else raise an error and insert that error to a table . Then i will check the 3rd column which is 20100928 , it should be YYYYMMDD format else same thing ERROR.
Then like this for all columns i have different validation .......
Then it will check for the 2nd line 3rd column . this is an account no .1st i will check it should be 12 char else ERROR .Then I will check that what user has imputed in the form.Like for example User putted 111111111 then i will check with this 000111111111 which is there in the 2nd line . I have to add 000 before that Account no which user imputed .
Then the lines which is starting from 1 , i have to take all the 2nd column for all the lines which is starting from 1 and i have to do a sum . After that i have to compare that sum with the value in the 1st lines ( Starting from 0) 6th column . It should be same else ERROR ...
Then same way i have to count all the lines which is starting from 1 . Then i have to compare with the 7th column of 1st line . It should be same . Here in this file it should be 9.

Loading transaction data from flat file to SNP order series objects

Hi,
I am an BW developer and i need to provide data to my SNP team.
Can you please let me know more about <b>loading transaction data (sales order, purchase order, etc.,) from external systems into order based SNP objects/structure</b>. there is a 3rd party tool called webconnect that gets data from external systems and can give data in flat file or in database tables what ever required format we want.
I know we can use BAPI's, but dont know how. can you please send any <b>sample ABAP program code that calls BAPI to read flat file and write to SNP order series objects</b>.
Please let me know ASAP, how to get data from flat file into SNP order based objects, with options and I will be very grateful.
thanks in advance

While creating the data sources for transaction data through flat file, I am getting the following error "Error 'The argument '1519,05' cannot be interpreted as anumber' while assigning character to application structure" Message no. RSDS016
If any one come across this issue, please provide me the solution.
Thanks in Advance.

Hallo,
just for information.
I had the same problem.
Have changed the field type from CURR to DEC and have set external instead of internal.
Then, the import with flatfile worked fine.
Thank you.

Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level?

Hi,
I have some data that I want to cleanse and transform. I don't want to cleanse it after i populate the external table, I want to get done with it at flat file level or while populating the external table. Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level through Oracle or OWB 11.2? Is it possible to run a conditional load (i.e. having a where clause or if-else-then) for an external table? Can we call oracle functions for an external table at the time of creation?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ann.

Hi Oleg,
Thanks a lot for the clarification. :)
So is there a way that I can clease the data within the text file through Oracle or OWB? I have datatype mismatches in the data and most of my data is getting rejected because of that. The way I can think of, for solving this problem, is to create the external table with all fields with datatype varchar and then cleansing the data. But it doesn't seem very effecient plus it will get very complicated because I have almost 80-90 fields.
Any help?
Thanks and regards,
Ann.

Wrong century for the dates from flat file

I am in the process of uploading the data from flat file ( aka CSV) into oracle via external table .
All the dates have the year of 20xx. My understanding was 51-99 will be prefixed with 19 ( such as 1951 - 1999) and 00-50
will be prefixed with 20 ( such as 2004 ... )
The column below ( startdate ) is of timestamp .
Is my understanding wrong ?
SQL> select startdate , to_date(startdate , 'dd/mm/yyyy' ) newdate from tab;
NEW_DATE STARTDATE

Offense . None taken ...
I literally typed the sql ( as I did not copy & paste SQL / resultsets ) . I did use to_char in my original sql . I don't want to expose the real table . thats why I was giving the made up test case. If you carefully the SQL and the equivalent result sets ... you would have noticed .
Here is the SQL used ( of course , I have changed the table name ) ...
select to_char(startdate , 'mm/dd/yyyy') sdate, startdate from t

The flatfile had the value of 091890 as the data .

BPC 7.5 will extract data from flat file or directly from cube

Hi,
i have a doubt plz give me a solution.
1) previously our BPC 7.0 team extracted data from BI 7.0 through flat file, but now they have upgraded to BPC 7.5 i want to know whether BPC 7.5 will extract directly from our BW infocube or not.
2) please let me know how data extracted from BPC 7.5.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
If your import file has duplicate record in it then the Status of your DM package for import ends with warning, where all the records in your file might have got accepted but only one last data rows amoung the duplicate rows might have got submitted to the system.
The duplicate records will be rejected and you can see the list of duplicate records as well in the DM package status report.
Like Nilanjan said you can use Append DM Pacakge to submit all duplicate records aswell into the system. But here the problem is it appends the data in flat file with data available in the system.
Say you have 100 for account1 in the system and you run Append DM Package having values duplicate values for account1 say 100 and 200. So after the Append Package execution you will have 100100200= 400 for account1.
So for Append DM package to work in the same way as import, run clear package before executing the Append package.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Error in loading data from flat file....

Hi,
While loading the data from flat file , only one column is getting populated in the ODS and after that the sixth column is getting populated with the null values. Also when I save the changes in CSV file .. its not getting saved.
Could you please tell me what could be the probable reason for this.
Also what are the points we should keep in mind while loading from flat files.
Regards,
Jeetu

Hi,
You need to take care of -
1. you flat file structure ( left to right columns) should match with the datasource ( top to down) column to column. if you don't wish to laod some column, leave it as blank column in flat file.
2. your file should not be open when loading data
3. make sure your transfer rules & update rules are defined properly.
4. do the simulation in infopakage first & that will give you fair idea.
5. to start with load data first in PSA Only, check & then take it forward.
hope it helps
