Source multi file mapping to one target

Hi Experts,
I have File to JDBC scenario.
Source would send 3 different text files ( Need FCC). I need to combine these three files to map to a single target structure.
SAP program will generate all 3 files at same time and loads on the server.
Let me know how to proceed.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I understand your concern on using BPM.
There are 2 possibilities from your question.
1. If you want to club/merge all the three input files and then send it to DB you have to make sure all the files are collected and then transformed according to the target interface. In this case BPM is compulsory.
2. If you dont want to club/merge the the three inputs files and then send it to DB then no need of BPM.
The above inputs i have provided is based on my knowledge.

Merge multiple source table dates and to one target table

The requirement is to merge multiple source tables (each table has a set of start and end date) to one target table with one set of start and end date and contain the date relevant column values from each source table.

Thanks, Lei

Thanks Karen,
that was exactly what i was hoping for.
Maybe it could be made easier/less confusing if the Mapping Workbench just made you choose a target table. But maybe this is not usefull if the table contains two foreign keys to the same table. Or maybe this should just be put somewhere in the documentation.
Regards,
Robert
Hi Donald,
fortunately i'm my own DBA so i don't have any problems ;-). However i'm certainly interested in the reasons for not having such a conditional foreign key.
However actually the foreign key isn't conditional, the condition is that either the field (using the FK) must be filled, or a free-format field. The reasoning for this is that we have a list of known towns and if the addres is local a town from that list must be chosen. If the addres is outside the country a town can just be typed in (no list).
Concerning the agrregate, all fields are always used. There are no neediness flags anywhere. The aggregate contains three fields which are mapping as direct (two fields) or a One-to-one (the FK). All 'parents' all contains these three fields.

Robert

Help with multi-table mapping for one-to-many object inheritance

Hi,
I have posted on here before regarding this (Toplink mapping for one-to-many object inheritance but I am still having problems mapping my object model to my schema.
Object model
The Person and Organisation objects contain base information and have the primary keys person_id and organisation_id. It is important that there is no duplication of person and organisation records, no matter how many times they are saved in different roles.
There are two types of licenceholder in the problem domain, and the ILicenceHolder interface defines information and methods that are common to both. The PersonalLicenceHolder object represents one of these types of licenceholder, and is always a person, so this class extends Person and implements ILicenceHolder.
The additional information and methods that are required by the second type of licenceholder are defined in the interface IPremisesLicenceHolder, which extends ILicenceHolder. Premises licence holders can either be people or organisations, so I have two objects to represent these - PremisesLicenceHolderPerson which implements IPremisesLicenceHolder and extends Person, and PremisesLicenceHolderOrganisation which implements IPremisesLicenceHolder and extends Organisation.
The model is further complicated by the fact that any single Person may be both a PersonalLicenceHolder and a PremisesLicenceHolderPerson, and may be so several times over. In this case, the same basic Person information needs to be linked to several different sets of licenceholder information. In the same way, any single Organisation may be a PremisesLicenceHolderOrganisation several times over.
Sorry this is complicated!
Schema
I have Person and Organisation tables containing the basic information with the primary keys person_id and organisation_id.
I have tried to follow Donald Smith's advice and have created a Role table to record the specialised information for the different types of licence holder. I want the foreign keys in this table to be licenceholder_id and licence_id. Licenceholder_id will reference either organisation_id or person_id, and licence_id will reference the primary key of the Licence table to link the licenceholder to the licence. Because I am struggling with the mapping, I have changed licenceholder_id to person_id in an attempt to get it working with the Person object before I try the Organisation.
Then, when a new licenceholder is added, if the person/organisation is already in the database, a new record is created in the Role table linking the existing person/organisation to the existing licence rather than duplicating the person/organisation information.
Mapping
I am trying to use the toplink mapping workbench to map my PremisesLicenceHolderPerson object to my schema. I have mapped all inherited attributes to superclass (Person). The primary table that the attributes are mapped to is Person, and I have used the multi-table info tab to add Roles as an additional table and map the remaining attributes to that.
I have created the references PERSON_ROLES which maps person.person_id to roles.person_id, ROLES_PERSON which maps roles.person_id to person.person_id and ROLES_LICENCE which maps roles.licence_id to licence.licence_id.
I think I have put in all the relationships, but I cannot get rid of the error message "The following primary key fields are unmapped: PERSON_ID".
Please can somebody tell me how to map this properly?
Thank you.

I'm not positive about your mappings, but it looks like the Person object should really have a 1:M or M:M mapping to the Licenceholder table. This then means that your object model should be similar, in that Person object could have many Licenses, instead of being LicenceHolders. From the looks of it, you have it set up from the LicenceHolder perspective. What could be done instead if a LicenceHolder could have a 1:1 reference to a person data object, rather than actually be a Person. This would allow the person data to be easily shared among licences.
LicenceHolder1 has an entry in the LicenceHolder table and Person table. LicenceHolder2 also has entries in these tables, but uses the same entry in the Person table- essentially it is the same person/person_ID. If both are new objects, TopLink would try to insert the same person object into the Person table twice. I'm not sure how you have gotten around or are planning to get around this problem.
Since you are using inheritance, it means that LicenceHolder needs a writable mapping to the person.person_id field- most commonly done through a direct to field mapping. From the description, it looks like roles.person_id is a foreign key in the multiple table mapping, meaning it would be set based on the value in the person.person_id field, but the person.person_id isn't actually mapped in the object. Check to make sure that the ID attribute LicenceHolder is inheriting from person hasn't been remapped in the LicenceHolder descriptor to a different field.

SAP-HR data to multi-file mapping.

Hi,
I have to generate SAP-HR data into 5 text files. There are some separate fields that would be required in these files.
So, what could be the mapping scenario that i can choose. I think it's feasible with IDoc & proxy both. What scenario i can choose considering that data is in bulk. Is there any other good possibility?
Regards,
Arpil Gupta

Hi,
Selecting the Adapter.........this is depending on data which ur sending.
option IDOC u can select if u have standard IDOC and the datsa is more then 25 feilds i suggest its an best one.
if u have less feilds like 20 or 25 then go for PROXY dont go for IDOC becasue performance issue will be there.
Configure a RFC Adapter and call the BAPI / RFC. However the potential problem that I could see is that the RFC adapter existing on the Java stack communciating with the BAPI existing on the SAP application system

How do I map the source file name to a target table?

I am mapping a source fixed length flat file to oracle target tables. One of the tables is a parent transaction table that stores the date, record number, status, etc. and the file name of the source flat file. The file name will change daily because the date is part of the naming convention. Is there an easy way to determine the source file name and map it?
One option a co-worker is working on is writing a pre-mapping stored procedure. It would insert the file name into a table prior to the mapping. But I was hoping for a cleaner solution.
Thanks!

Hi
Use extarnel table to load the data from the file into the table.
Create a procedure which changes the external table definition as the filename chnages.
Use this proceudre in the mapping as a premapping process.

One target table is loading from two different source but same columns but one source is in a database and other is in a flat file.

Hope you all are doing good.
I have a business issue to be implemented in ODI 11G. Here it is. I am trying to load a target table from two sources having same coulmn names. But one source is in file format and other is in Oracle Database.
This is what i think i will create two mappings in the same interface using Union between the sources. But i am not sure how the interface would connect to different logical architecture to connect to two different sources.
Thanks,
SM

You are on the right track, this can all be done in a single interface. Do the following
1) Pull your file data model into the source designer and and your target table model to the target pane.
2) Map all the relevant columns
3) In the source designer create a new dataset and choose the UNION join type (this will create a separate tab in the source designer pane)
4) Select the new dataset tab in the source designer pane and pull your source oracle table data model into the source designer. Map all the relevant columns to the target
5) Make sure that your staging location is defined on a relational technology i.e. in this case the target would be an ideal candidate as that is where ODI will stage the data from both file and oracle source and perform the UNION before loading to the target

Mapping multiple source value to one target value in value mapping

Hello experts,
In my scenario, i need to map more than one source value to one target value in value mapping. Like:
1 TenderPickup
2 TenderLoan
7 TenderPickup
101 TenderPickup
102 TenderLoan
107 TenderPickup
But when I enter the same target value for the second time and try to save it, it gives me an error saying value mapping already exists.
But this should logically be allowed. How can this be done. Please provide a solution.
Thanks,
Yash

Hi Prabhu,
When i right click on the target field, it gives me only 3 options:
1) Insert Row
2) Delete Value Mapping
3) Value Mapping in all agencies
I dont see nay option for duplicating rows.
What I hae done is in ID i clicked on TOOLS and then VALUE MAPPING. I checked the option "Value Mapping Agencies" and gave my source and target agencies detials. Then i clicked on DISPLY and in the next page I have 3 columns - Value for <source agency>, Value for <target agency> and Group name.
When I give duplicate values in the column Vlaue for <target agency>, it doesnt allow me to and if i right click in this column, i get the above mentioend options.
Please point out where i m going wrong.
Thanks,
Yash

Message mapping - Map 2 source contexts into one target context

Hi,
I have an issue as follows:
Source context 1 (defined as 1.....unbounded)
Source context 2 (defined as 1.....unbounded)
Target context 1 (defined as 1.....unbounded)
I need to map both source contexts into the single target contexts.
For example....
Source context 1 has 3 entries
Source context 2 has 2 entries
Target context would have 5 entries in total (Source context 1 and Source context 2)
I have only limited knowledge of working with multiple contexts so need a bit of advice.
Can someone provide an easy way to do this ? I'm sure there is.
Cheers
Colin.

The answer is quite simple.
Right-click on the target node in the mapping editor and select the option "duplicate subtree".
You will then have two destination nodes.
Now you can map source1 to target1 and source2 to target2

Getting the Source File name Info into Target Message

Hi all,
I want to get the Source file name Info into Target message of one of the fields.
i followed Michal BLOG /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Requirement :
1) I am able to get the Target file name as same as the source file name when i check the ASMA in Sender & Receiver Adapter , with out any UDF...............this thing is OK
2) I took One field extra in the target structure Like "FileName" & I mapped it Like
Constant(" " )--UDF-----FileName
I Checked the Option ASMA in Both Sender & Receiver Adapters
Here iam getting the Target File name as same as Source file name + Source File name Info in the Target Field " FileName".
I Dont want to get the Target File name as same as Source file name. I want like Out.xml as Target file name.
If i de-select the Option ASMA in Adapters means it is showing " null" value in the target field "FileName".
Please Provide the Solution for this
Regards
Bopanna

Hi All,
Iam able to do this by checking the Option ASMA in only sender adapter itself

How to send file content (whole) and map it to target field?

Hi guys!
I need to send whole file content in a one xml tag -
so xml would look like this:
<MesType>
<Recordset>
 <filecontent>jksdhfkjsdhfkjsdhfkjhsdf</filecontent>
</Recordset>
</MesType>
How to set up file sender adapter conversion params? I suppose there will be only one fieldSeparator, which's value will be eof. But how to write this eof?
Thanx for help,
Olian

Hi Olian,
you can use below mentioned parameters in your Sender CC under Content Conversion.
Recordset Structure Recordset,*
Recordset.endSeparator 'nl'
Recordset.fieldNames Comp,DocType,RefDocNo etc.
Recordset.fieldFixedLengths 2,2,8 (give the length of fields values)
Now in your message mapping your source message type should have one field as per your requirement, now as other mentioned use concat function to concat all source fields. The delimiter of cocat function will be as empty, so that after concatination there will be no spaces in your target file as per your requirement.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Sarvesh

UDF to capture the source file name or the source folder for mapping

Hi All,
i have 2 files - File1 from File2 from 2 different folders- single comm channel FTP (FCC). i have to pass a constant A and B respectively to a field in target structure.
my options are -
either create a new field in source str populating different constants and then map to the target str
or a udf to get the source file name or the source folder so that i can map the constant using the value mapping/FixValue mapping.
please suggest. thanks.
rajib

Hi,
please use the UDF to determine the file name. Then based on file name either pass A or B to your target field.
The code is as given below. Just tweak the code to pass either A or B as per your requirement.
public String G_GetFileName(Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;

How to create empty text file on target system for empty source text file

Hi All,
I have an issue in handling empty file in the Text (FCC) to Text (FCC) file scenario. Interface picks text file and delivers on target system as text file. I have used FCC in both sender and receiver CCs.
Interface is working fine if the source file is not empty. If the source text file is empty (zero Bytes), interface has to delivery an empty text file on target system. I have setup empty file handling options correctly on both CCs.
But when I tried with an empty file I am getting the error message 'Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!'.
Could you please suggest me what I need to do to create an empty text file on target system from empty source text file?
Thanks in Advance....

the problem is that when there is an empty file there is no XML for parsing available. Hence in case you are using a mapping it will fail.
What ideally you should do is to have a module that will check if the file is empty and if so write out an XML as you want with no values in the content/fields.
Or the next choice would be to have a java mapping to handle this requirement. I guess that on an empty file the java mapping will go to an exception which you can handle to write out your logic/processing

I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one. Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.

Mapping all one vendor Payments to that Vendor in DME file.... ???

Hi Gurus
I am not able to Map all one vendor Payments to that Vendor in DME file. The DME file takes each individual line item (invoice) but incorrectly with the total amount of vendor payment - not amount of each invoice. We want to pay a total for each supplier and not per individual invoice.
Please let me know.. How to set up these settings in payment method ?
Thanks
Meenakshi.N

Hi,
You can influence if open positions to one vendor are paid together or separately are controlled by this:
- FD02: vendor master
box: Individual pmnt -> please read F1-Help
box: Grouping key that can be entered in the document -> F1-Help
- FBZP: Payment method / comp code
Single payment for marked item: marked?
- FBZP: All Company Codes
Separate payment per business area: marked?
Beside that please read note 305414. Please be aware that positions can be only regulated together if there is no difference in the entries of the important fields that are contained in the structure ZHLG1.
Hope that helps to understand to logic how the payment run groups the positions for posting.
Best regards,
Jeno
