Time taken to upload a flat file in SAP BI

Hello Experts,
Want to know , about how much time it will generally take to upload a flat file in SAP BI having data volume near about 10 million .
OR what is standard time taken to upload the data from a flat file what ever be the size of the the flat file in terms of records ,
please provide me the detaild information regarding the time taken , plz clarify it , and thanks in advance

Hi,
there are some other points that you need to consider while trying to evaluate your question:
- how wide is your file/how many columns it has?
- what's the type of interface you using for flat file upload? is it: flat file loaded from user workstation? from application server? from web interface (like planning app)?
- how complex is login used to transform the data from flat file before data is saved in BW objects?
In general 10mil of records is not a problem is not a problem if you using upload from application server. If you using load from user workstation thsi can be an issue. Even less performant is load of that much data via web interface.

How to allow users to upload a flat file to BW

Hi All,
For a planning application I would like to permit our users to upload a flat file on their local desktop to the infopackage and execute the load.
We would like to empower the users to prepare and upload their flat files into BW from their desktop without asking for BW support.
Please let me know if any of you have followed this approach.
Thanks
Karen

Hi,
The possible steps..
1. Create a small program and then give
Selection Screen:
FIle name : -
Note: Ask users give always same file name i.e. xyz.csv
Once user will give file name and execute it then file will save in Application Server (You fix the path like /usr/sap/BI1/DVEBMGS00/work, you create seperate folder in Application server)
2. Create a small Program with is using Events..
REPORT ZTEST_EV.
DATA: EVENTID LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTID.
DATA: EVENTPARM LIKE TBTCJOB-EVENTPARM.
      EVENTID = 'ZEVENT1'.
      EVENTPARM = 'ZEVENTPARAM'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSSM_EVENT_RAISE'
          EXPORTING
            I_EVENTID                         = EVENTID
            I_EVENTPARM                  = EVENTPARM
          EXCEPTIONS
           BAD_EVENTID                            = 1
           EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST       = 2
           EVENTID_MISSING                     = 3
           RAISE_FAILED                           = 4
           OTHERS                                    = 5
        IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
                 MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
                 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
        ENDIF.
3. Once user will upload the file in Step 1, then he need to run this Program,.
4. You craetea Process Chain using this Event, then once User will run this program then the Data Loads will happen through Process Chain.
Note: Eventhough this is lengthy process, it is protected 100%, because we are not giving any access to User, we just given reports/programs to execute.

How to import a logo from flat file to SAP in SMARTFORM.

how to import a logo from flat file to SAP in SMARTFORM. i need to know whether TIFF format is used and also the full steps.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can not directly use a logo from a file into a Smart form. First you will have to upload it to SAP. This has to be done only once. Once it is imported into SAP then you can use it in smart form. To import a logo to SAP, goto SE78. Open the tree under GRAPHICS. Select the file type and click on the Import (first button on the toolbar, just before delete button). Select the logo file and give it some appropriate name along with description. Select appropriate type of the image and click Continue. Your logo will be uploaded into SAP from a file. Now in your smartform, Create a Graphic Node, give the name of the logo along with other properties. In this way you can import a logo from a flat file into SAP and consequently in a smart form.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

Build daily Big flat file using SAP R/3 material master data

Hi all,
I must build an interface between SAP R/3 4.7 and an external application
Daily a flat file must be generated contaning Material data in full exchange mode
(volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo)
No complex mapping, only format mapping (Ex : Price quantity...)
I don't know yet if I will use Idocs or BAPI to extract data. However, I'm sure I must use multiple inbound messages because of volume
After reading documentation, I consider the both following solutions to manage it :
1) A simple asynchronous interface with a file adapter in construction mode APPEND to build flat file progressively with arrival of SAP messages
=>
viable solution ?
Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
(idocs or bapi data will be processed ones following the others )
2) BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
(Unlimited Loop with Deadline trigger correspondint to time I must build flat file)
=>
Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Which solution do you advise ?
Is there another ?
Last question : (more general one)
In such scenario, I can't see XI-value added comparing a creation of flat file directly with R/3.
I will generate a big number of idocs, use a big part of XI memory ...
Can you give me your opinion about it ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean-Charles,
>>>volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo
You have a performance task...
>>>Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
No, the adapter framework has its own queueing, the message would be stored and executed later. If sequence is important, you can use EOIO as well.
>>>BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
BPM is not required in your case, you should avoid becoz of performance task. You can append at file adapter, no problem. Bundling and splitting is even possible at Integration Server without BPM.
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
Avoid using BAD words
>>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??

Uploading an XML file from SAP into third party URL

Hi,
I need to Upload an XML file from sap into Third party URL. Can any body tell me the possible ways in SAP to achieve this task. Also explain me the proceedure.
Thanks in advance.
-Namdev

Sorry. If they only said HTTP/HTTPS and didn't say explicitly web service, it means they don't want it.
One thing I'm not sure is, do you have an URL at the third-party system that you need to contact, or should you provide one at your SAP system that they will contact?
If it is the first one, to send an HTTP request to a given URL using ABAP, you'll find an example here: [SAP Library: Example Program: Executing an HTTP Request|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/1f/93163f9959a808e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
