Special character '#' ODS data upload

Hi experts!!
I have to load R/3 data from PSA to ODS. I have found problems during data load with 0postxt field (description field) because in several FI documents there is '#' inside the text field, for example: "COMPANY X FOR # SALES".
The PSA is upload fine but when the system tries to activate ODS data, it gives me an error in this register.
I have checked RSKC transaction and it is defined '#' character as a permited character:
ÇÉÀÇÊÈÏÌÅÉÒÙÁÍÓÚÑÑÈÍÌÓÒÚÙÉÈÍÌÓÒÚÙ·.'#
What else can I check?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind regards,
GP

Hi,
It may not be because of that.
SID error comes during activation of ODS because the related MD is not available for assigning SIDs.
Whenever Master Data is loaded SID's are generated for those Master Data records.
Now when you load Transaction Data these SID's will be used (for the records which use above master data values). This results in performance gain.
If Transaction Data is loaded first than the system checks for SID's. If they are not available system generate SID's. This results in a loss of performance.
Now in the case if you don't have the setting selected (Further Processing Without Master Data/Always update data, even if no master data exists for the data) system will throw error No Sids found and load will terminate.
So as a first step ensure that the related master data is loaded and Attribute change run has been triggered.
OR
Load the MD and Activate the MD (Modeling > InfoObject > Search the Infoobject > Right click > Activate Master Data)
Once you perform this you can retrigger the activation. It should work fine.
Else as a workaround you can blank out these particular values and activate.
There is also one more workaround wherein you can create the Master data entries directly in BW itself. But both the above step should be done after consulting Business and considering data volume that needs to be edited/created.
In most case once you perform the loading and activation of MD your activation should work fine when repeated.
OR
In the infopackage goto Update Tab and make the setting Update the records even if no master data exist and reload
This may work.
Try Searching in SDN for this Topic and you will find much detailed info as this is discussed very frequently.
Thanks,

Generate XML - Special Character in data causing error

Hello,
I have a procedure written using DBMS_XMLGEN to create xml output. A problem that I am running into is some of my data has an eacute in it. How can I code the XML to account for this and any other weird characters that may exist?
(ie - i need to be able to specify the encoding part of ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1?)
Here is an excerpt of what i have so far...the results are fine until I run to include the data with the eacute. Then nothing is generated at all. I tried .convert, but I don't know if that's what I need, or if I am calling it correctly.
Thanks!
Janel
ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext(rc_data);
-- set name of root element --
dbms_xmlgen.setRowsetTag(ctx, 'XXFA10022');
-- set name of element separating all rows --
-- default is ROW --
dbms_xmlgen.setRowTag(ctx, 'G_DATA');
-- generate XML document --
xml := dbms_xmlgen.getXml(Ctx);
xml := dbms_xmlgen.convert(xml, dbms_xmlgen.ENTITY_ENCODE);
i := dbms_xmlgen.getNumRowsProcessed(ctx);
dbms_xmlgen.closeContext(Ctx);
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log, 'rows processed -' || i);
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log, 'close');
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.log, xml);
apps.fnd_file.put_line(apps.fnd_file.output, xml);
-- free clob content --
dbms_lob.freetemporary(xml);

No. There are no XML components that will clean up malformed XML. Your options are to go to whoever sent you that document and tell them that their XML is malformed and that in future they should not do that, or to write your own component to clean up the malformed XML. Since that would involve more work than writing a full XML parser, I don't recommend the second option.

Upload file with special character in ECC 6.0?

Dear All,
Does anyone know that in ECC6.0 unicode environment, can we upload special character like
eg ¢, ©, É. It's ok in 4.6c version but not in ECC 6.0. Any idea ?
Thanks

HI,
Try using
open dataset <DSN> for output in legacy text mode.
and also in transfer statement pass the actual structure rather than a flat structure, while executing transfer statement for legacy mode the field lengths are taken into consideration and there is no spill over of spaces to the next field
say if you have a structure:
data: begin of wa_output,
name(20),
email(30),
end of wa_output.
and a flat structure
data: w_out(50).
then in transfer statement use wa_output rather then w_out.

Data upload problem in delta update from 1st ODS to 2nd ODS

Dear Friends,
I am loading data from one ODS to another. The update mode was full upload. Sometime back an error occurred in activation of the first ODS. The error was: Full updates already available in ODS ,Cannot update init./delta. So currently daily records are pulled but not added i.e. transferred recs = 4000 but added recs = 0.
When I looked for a solution in SDN I found that using program RSSM_SET_REPAIR_FULL_FLAG for 2nd ODS will reset all full uploads to Repair Full Request which I have already done for 2nd ODS. Then initialize once and pull delta.
But problem is that I cannot set update mode to delta as I am pulling some 80,000 records in 2nd ODS from 1st ODS with around 14 lacs records daily based on some data-selection filters in infopkg. But do not see any parameters for data-selction in delta mode.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Amit Srivastava

Dear Sirs,
Due to this error in activation in 2nd ODS daily data upload is failing in 1st ODS.
To correct this I converted all full upload requests in 2nd ODS to Repair full requests.
But now when I scheduled the infopkg today with full upload again data was transferred but not added.
I know I cannot have init./ delta so what possibly can now be done in this scenario. Please help.

How to eliminate the column data which just has a special character

Hello All,
I working on a query which will query the table and returns only the meaningful data. In the table, I have the data like this
ID                SearchWord
1                   20A-1
2                   Mainline
3                   %
4                   -
5                   Little Rock, AR
When I select the data from this table, In the result set, I don't want to see '%' record, '-' record. If a SearchWord contains the special character along with other alpha numeric characters its fine. But if a record contains only special characters,
I wanted to eliminate them. How can I achieve this?
Thanks so much for all your help.

SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE SearchWord NOT LIKE '%[^0-9A-Za-z]%'
AND SearchWord LIKE @Yourparameter

Dtw gives special character while importing the data

Hi all
I m trying to update business partner and my template file is tab delimited but I don't know why my all business partner updated with special character " like this "" even I tried to update from CSV also ??
Can anybody help me to remove or update this special character from business partner name as well as bill to address , block, building, city by query or any other way ??
Thanks
Ricky

Hi ricky 1,
Before you upload the CSV/TXT file, open it up in a Notepad.
You will see the "hidden" quotation marks that don't appear in Excel.
Use the replace function to remove them, save it, then upload again.

Special character issue while loading data from SAP HR through VDS

Hello,
We have a special character issue, while loading data from SAP HR to IdM, using a VDS and following the standard documentation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e09fa547-f7c9-2b10-3d9e-da93fd15dca1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
French accent like (é,à,è,ù), are correctly loaded but Turkish special ones (like : Ş, İ, ł ) are transformed into u201C#u201D in Idm.
The question is : does someone know any special setting to do in the VDS or in IdM for special characters to solve this issue??
Our SAP HR version is ECC6.0 (ABA/BASIS7.0 SP21, SAP_HR6.0 SP54) and we are using a VDS 7.1 SP5 and SAP NW IdM 7.1 SP5 Patch1 on oracle 10.2.
Thanks

We are importing directly to the HR staging area, using the transactions/programs "HRLDAP_MAP", "LDAP" and "/RPLDAP_EXTRACT", then we have a job which extract data from the staging area to a CSV file.
So before the import, the character appears correctly in SAP HR, but by the time it comes through the VDS to the IDM's temporary table, it becomes "#".
Yes, our data is coming from a Unicode system.
So, could it be a java parameter to change / add in the VDS??
Regards.

Special Character error in IDOC

All,
I am trying to upload PO data using IDOC type "PORDCR1" from LSMW. All is well till I convert data. We have some speical characters in short text field at item level and even when I convert the data and display it from LSMW it looks fine, but when I processing idoc it's erroring out meaning if I have special character "Á" in IDOC during processing it's getting converted to "Á#" and it's screwing up the positions.
What I am not able to understand is when I am displaying the converted data in segment mode in LSMW it's getting displayed perfectly without extra "#", but when I am checking errored idoc from WE05 it has this new #. Did anyone come across this issue?
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Ok, the issue was with LSMW port (which was not marked as UNICODE) and because of which it's not translating special characters....

LSMW: Convertion of special character turn into #

Hi all,
Ich am Ulpoading a file in the step 'READ DATA' in LSMW and when I check the result in the next step 'DISPLAY READ DATA' I see that the upload (i do not know if LSMW make an WS_UPLAOD or GUI_UPLOAD or another function) converts a special character that we use in Portugal
in the file:           Fabricação
in LSMW after Upload: Fabrica##o
The file was an Excel which I saved as txt (tab delimited)
Who can help??????
Thanks
Picasso

Hi Picasso,
LSMW is having 'GUI_UPLOAD' function module to upload data.
GUI_UPLOAD FM is having import parameter CODEPAGE.Whose functinality is to take care of such special character.
Include which is called for READ DATA step, you can very wel find out that the codepage is not suitable for your Portuguese language.
Do one thing write an BDC...Call GUI_UPLOAD FM and then Pass CODEPAGE number.
codepage number you will get from tcp00 table.
here is example to take care of special Japanese character:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                = l_ws_path
      filetype                = 'ASC'

      codepage                = '6300'
    TABLES
      data_tab                = i_aenr

      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
