Space - Flat file

Hi
I am doing a flat file load which is about 2.5 GB. Loading this file using process chian in to ODS objects. There is a program which runs in the beginning of the process chain and splits the file in to two other files. We tested in Dev it worked fine with less volume of data. But when we try to load this big file, the program is running since 6 hrs. I am thinking this is may be because of space in Unix server. Any ideas!!
Thanks

Ajay
Please check the job is active or not. As you rightly said there may be some other jobs running in the same server and it makes slow down the performance. If the job is active let it run.

B1i Truncating space characters in elements from RegEx flat file SLD

Task:
I'm importing from a fixed-width file that's specifically 94 characters wide consisting of multiple columns. My only concern at this point is the number of lines and their width. I have to pad the block out to a specific number of lines, and all existing lines in my source file already fill all 94 characters. Multiple headers and footers exist in the same flat file, so defining the format explicitly based on column width in RegEx will add significant time to the project (though it's not necessarily impossible).
This file ends lines with a single LF character (no CR), which apparently is too much for TXT and CSV formats to handle (the entire file comes in as one line). So I turned to Regex, where I can split the document on arbitrary characters like LFs.
I've recorded a message and the lines look something like this:
"ABB CCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDEEEEEEFFFFGHHHIIJKKKKKK KKKK K KKKKK KKKKKK KKKK K KKKKK LLLLLLLL"
and column L is occasionally blank (just spaces). This is one of the row formats present in the file. Most of the columns use spaces as fill characters and are left justified.
Tag definition looks like this:
<tagDefinition xmlns="urn:com.sap.b1i.bizprocessor:pltdefinition" regex="\n" schemaName="" tagName="line" matchSplit="S" stackSize="10000" DOTALL="true" MULTILINE="false">
</tagDefinition>
Problems:
With a recorded test messsage, the lines build properly:
<Payload Role="S" intype="rgx_ruledoc">
<bfa:io xmlns:bfa="urn:com.sap.b1i.bizprocessor:bizatoms" pltype="rgx" schemaName="">
<line xmlns="">ABB CCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDEEEEEEFFFFGHHHIIJKKKKKK KKKK K KKKKK KKKKKK KKKK K KKKKK </line>
</bfa:io>
</Payload>
But by the time it reaches my first XSL Transformation atom, I receive the data in this form:
<Payload Role="S" intype="rgx_ruledoc">
<bfa:io xmlns:bfa="urn:com.sap.b1i.bizprocessor:bizatoms" pltype="rgx" schemaName="">
<line xmlns="">ABB CCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDEEEEEEFFFFGHHHIIJKKKKKK KKKK K KKKKK KKKKKK KKKK K KKKKK </line>
</bfa:io>
</Payload>
In other words, I'm missing 3 spaces from within the middle of K and 11 from the end of the example line. Multiple lines are affected by this. I've built the Regex import portion properly, judging by the test message. But the data I build is not the data I'm given. And the truncation seems to be happening somewhere outside my control.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to specify that all spaces are non-breaking in the input/output format descriptors?
2. Is there a way I can specify that B1i doesn't modify the data before handing it to me?
3. Is there an easier/more correct way to do this?
Also possibly 4. Can you specify line endings in TXT/CSV imports?

As far as I've found, there's no way to specify that B1i doesn't normalize spaces for you in an input Msg. I ended up splitting the incoming message line to its individual columns using the Regex format descriptor. That way, I was able to track the integrity of each component of the message.
However, when writing out to the same file format using the TXT file type, B1i is inserting commas between the columns, despite:
1. Being TXT format, which shouldn't use delimiters.
2. Having the delimiter field empty. It correctly ignores this field, even if it does insert a delimiter.
3. Specifying no delimiter explicitly using <FileOut type="file_full">/<Control><deli>.
It seems odd that the included means for writing raw text would mangle the output message so.
Has anyone successfully written data to a TXT file with no delimiter?

How to avaoid space while reading from flat file

Dear all
I am using forms 10g.
I am reading data from flat file using Text_io.
In my exception part i have written like this
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Fclose(in_file);But if in my last line from the flat file is some other characters then it is taking that also .
How can i avoid it ?
Note :- Other characters means you cannot see like this , when you press SHOW ALL CHARACTERS button in the NOTEPAD++ then it will show ...

My File is like this ABC . There is no extension like ABC.txt .
And in the file if the last line if blank space is there then it is coming to exception part , but if TAB is there then it is not coming .

Size of Infocube Export to a flat file (.CSV)

First off, I'm new to BW so I apologize if I use the wrong terminology. I was wondering if there was any way to estimate the size of a flat file infocube export. For example, if I look up all the associated DB tables for a cube, let's call it TESTCUBE, would the total size of those tables be about the size of the TESTCUBE export to a flat file. This assumes that the cube is not compressed in any way. So if the the total DB table size is 100 MB then is the flat file about 100 MB? If not, is there a way to estimate this.
Thanks!

Can't say for sure how all DBs that BW run on work, but with Oracle, space is consumed in blocks, not by rows/records.
Let's say you have a table where the average row width (record length) is 100 bytes. In a tablespace that has 8K blocks, in theory, you could fit 81 rows in the block.
However there is usually a certain amount of freespace left in a block when rows are added to accomodate subsequent inserts/updates. The BW tables I have looked at default this to 10%. So that means youe have over 800 bytes of the block that might not get filled. There are other things that can result in space being consumed, such as deletions that will leave dead space, and updates can cause a row to migrate to another block, etc. Also, space is allocated in chunks as a table grows, and you may add one row to a table that causes a 10MB chunk of storage to be allocated, but it is holding only 1 row.
So as you can begin to see. A flat export should require less space than the source table (unless you are using database table compression which could completely invalidate what I have said), but by how much depends on all the things I mentioned, and could change from day to day.
You could certainly use as a rough rule of thumb, that a flat file export will require the same space and you would be safe (except if you are using db compression).

Export data to a flat file

Hi all,
I need to export a table data to a flat file.
But the problem is that the data is huge about 200million rows occupying around 60GB of space
If I use SQL*Loader in Toad, it is taking huge time to export
After few months, I need to import the same data again into the table
So please help me which is the efficient and less time taking method to do this
I am very new to this field.
Can some one help me with this?
My oracle database version is 10.2
Thanks in advance

OK so first of all I would ask the following questions:
1. Why must you export the data and then re-import it a few months later?
2. Have you read through the documentation for SQLLDR thoroughly ? I know it is like stereo instructions but it has valuable information that will help you.
3. Does the table the data is being re-imported into have anything attached to it eg: triggers, indices or anything that the DB must do on each record? If so then re-read the the sqlldr documentation as you can turn all of that off during the import and re-index, etc. at your leisure.
I ask these questions because:
1. I would find a way for whatever happens to this data to be accomplished while it was in the DB.
2. Pumping data over the wire is going to be slow when you are talking about that kind of volume.
3. If you insist that the data must be dumped, massaged, and re-imported do it on the DB server. Disk IO is an order of magnitude faster then over the wire transfer.

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!!

How to remove the date extensions from a filename in SSIS Flat File Connection Manager dynamically at run time

Hello,
I have to load data from a csv file to SQL Database. The file is placed into a directory by another program but the file name being same, has different extensions based on time of the day that it is placed in the directory. Since I know the file name
ahead of time, so, I want to strip off the date/time extension from the file name so that I can load the file using Flat File Connection Manager. I am trying to use 'variable' and 'expression editor' so that I can specify the file name dynamically. But I
don't know how to write it correctly. I have a variable 'FileLocation' that holds the folder location where the file will be placed. The file for example: MyFileName201410231230 (MyFileName always the same, but the date/time will be different)
Thanks,
jkrish

I don't want to use ForEach Loop because the files are placed by a FTP process 3 times a day at a specific time, for ex. at 10 AM, 12 PM and 3 PM. These times are pretty much fixed. The file name is same but the extension will have this day time stamp. I
have to load each file only once for a particular reason, meaning I don't want to load the ones I already loaded. I am planning on setting up the SSIS process to load at 10:05, 12:05 and 3:05 daily. The files will be piling up in the folder. As it comes,
I load them. At some point in time, I can remove the old ones so that they won't take up space in the server. In fact, I don't have to keep the old ones at all since they are saved in a different folder anyways. I can ask the FTP process to
remove the previous one when the new one arrives. So, at any point in time, there will be one file, but that file will have different extensions every time.
I am thinking of removing the extensions before I load every time. If the file name is 'MyFileNamexxxxxxx.csv', then I want to change it to 'MyFileName.csv' and load it.
Thanks,
jkrish
You WILL need to use it eventually because you need to iterate over each file.
Renaming is unnecessary as one way or another you will need to put a processed file away.
And having the file with the original extension intact will also help you troubleshoot.

Error when exporting to flat file in ODI 11g

This works ok in ODI 10g. I'm using IKM SQL to File Append on Windows Server 2008 R2
Getting the following error when exporting to a flat file in ODI 11g: ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array
I've seen a couple of threads like this on the forum, but I've never seen an answer to the problem.

Problem is with the difference in behaviour for the IKM SQL to File Append KM between 10g and 11g.
Our 10g target file datastore had a mixture of fixed string and numeric columns. Mapping from the source to target was simple one to one column mapping. It generated the desired fixed format flat file; numerics were right adjusted with embedded decimal point and leading spaces. Each numeric column in the generated flat file occupied the exact space allocated to it in the layout. This gave the desired results, even though documentation for the 10g IKM states that all columns in the target must be string.
When we converted to 11g and tried to run this interface, it generated an error on the "numeric" columns because it was wrapping them in quotation marks. The result column was being treated as string, and it was larger than the defined target once it acquired those quotation marks.
In order to get 11g to work, I had to change all the numeric columns in the target data store to fixedstring 30. I then had to change the mapping for these numeric columns to convert them to right adjusted character strings (i.e. RIGHT(SPACE(30) + RTRIM(MyNumericColumn),30).
Now it works.

Hi,
For date column you should maintain YYYYMMDD formate Eg: 20090601, kepp cursor on date column and right click and Formate >Custome>make it 00000000 then save teh file as .CSV . First type values on column and do like this formate and save it and without opening it load it. Once you open it you losw 00000000 formate you need to give again the same formate.
Settings in Infopackage:
Data Format = CSV
Data Separator = ,
Escape Sign = ;
