Uregnt - How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser

Hello,
We have followed the 'How to Load Flat File into BW-BPS using Web Browser' guide to build BSP web front-end to upload flat file. Everything works great but we have a requirement to populate the Planning Area Variables based on BSP drop down list with values. Does anyone know how to do this? We have the BSP coded with drop down list all we need to do now is populate variables. We can populate the variables through the planning level (hardcoded) but we need to populate them through the web interface.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,
We have acheived the desired result by not too a clean method but it works for us.
What we have done is, we have the link to load file in a page where the variables can be input. The user would then have the option to choose the link to load a file for the layout in that page.
By entering the variable values in the page, we are able to read the variables for the file input directly in the load program.
Maybe this approach might help.

How to load a flat file into BW-BPS using Web Browser

Hello, i have a problem with the "How to do Paper". I want to upload a Excel CSV file , but the paper only describes a txt file Uplaod. Does anybody can help me ?Thanks !

You need to parse the line coming in from the flat file...
You can do this with generic types in your flat file structure (string).
Then you loop through the table of strings that is your flat file and parse the string so that it breaks up the line for each comma. There is an ABAP command called: SPLIT - syntax is as follows:
SPLIT dobj AT sep INTO
{ {result1 result2 ...} | {TABLE result_tab} }
[IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].

SAP Note
     The following error text was processed in the system:
     An exception with the type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL occurred, but was neither      handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause
When i run page1 url and if i file_load url, then its prompt me to see upload function, path for flat file. But when enter path of flat file and press upload function button ts giving error "Value of variable Data Slice Global ( ZFIE0ALL ) cannot be determined " and warning "Errors occurred when executing planning function TUPLOAD(EXIT FOR UPLOAD DATA)/T0000000(WEB UPLOAD".

How to load flat file into BW BPS

hi,
how to load flat file into BW BPS ?

Have a read through this;
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/biw/g-i/how%20to%20load%20a%20flat%20file%20into%20bw-bps%20using%20a%20web%20browser.pdf

Load Flat File into BW-BPS using a Web Browser....

Hallo,
I am trying to implement the titled How To with some modifications. I am trying to read the uploaded data in the extension class of the Web Interface. The details are as follows:
Modification 1) - Instead of using the standard submit button for triggering the File upload process, I used custom <htmlb:fileUpload> component coding as follows
<input type="file"
 class="urUpld1"
 id="htmlbfileUpload3b"
 ct="FileUpload"
 name="htmlbfileUpload3b"
 size="40"
 value="">

<a href="javascript:void(0);"
 onclick="if(!sapUrMapi_Button_checkClick('htmlbfileUpload3b_upload',event)){
 return true;};
htmlbSubmitLib('htmlb',this,'htmlb:button:click:null::CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD::x','htmlb_form_1','htmlbfileUpload3b_upload','HandleUpload',0); return false" onkeypress="if(!sapUrMapi_Button_checkClick('htmlbfileUpload3b_upload',event)){
 return true;};
htmlbSubmitLib('htmlb',this,'htmlb:button:click:null::CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD::x','htmlb_form_1','htmlbfileUpload3b_upload','HandleUpload',0);
 return false"
 class="urBtnStd1 urV"
 id="htmlbfileUpload3b_upload"
 ct="Button"
 style="white-space:nowrap;">
size=40</a>
I am able to identify/capture the event "Upload" in my extension class (When the user presses upload the button after choosing a file)
Observation 1) The Attribute Request of the extension class "mr_request" does not return a valid entity object from which I could query the data that was uploaded.
In other words, the method
get_multipart( 1 )
which should return a valid Entity Object fails and the entity object remains unbound (
num_multiparts( )
return 0 ).
Question 1 Has anybody tried to implement the How To with such kind of modifications?
Question 2 If yes how was the approach?
Question 3 Returning to my approach, perhaps could anybody (Marc) suggest me how to read the data (Please note that it should be done inside the extension class!

Hi RPR,
the how-to paper does not work with the new HTMLB design of BPS web interfaces. I have updated the how-to. It will be uploaded shortly.

Load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAP GUI

Hi,
We are using BW BPS 3.5 version, i implemented how to guide " How to load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAP GUI" successfully without any errors.
I inlcuded three infoobjects in the text file   costelemt, Posting period and amount. the same three infoobjects i inlcuded the file structure in the global data as specified in the how to document
The flat file format is like this

I successfully loaded above flat file in to BPS cube and it dispalyed in the layout also.
But users are requesting to load flatfile in the below format
Costelmnt        Annual(PP=#)   Jan(PP=1)   Feb(PP=2) ........................................Dec(PP=12)
XXXXX              Blank                       100           800                                                   900
Is it possible to load a flat file like this
They wants load a single row instead of 13 rows for each costelement
How to do this. Please suggest me if anybody accorss this requirment.
In the infocube we have got only one Info object 0FISCPER3(Posting period) and one 0AMOUNT(Amount)
do we need 13 Infobjects for each posting period and amount.
Is there any possiblity we can implement any user exit which we use in BEX Quer's
Please share your ideas on this.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
SS

Hi,
There are 2 ways to do this.
One is to change the structure of the cube to have 12 key figures for the 12 posting periods.
Another way is to write an ABAP Function Module to fetch the values from each record based on the posting period and store it in the cube for the corresponding characteristic. This way, you dont have to change the structure of the cube.
If this particular cube is not used anywhere else, I would suggest to change the structure itself.
Hope this helps.

Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using a Web Browser

I experienced the same. The appendizes are missing. Can anybody provide the information, which properties have to be set for the bsp application to upload data from flat file to bw-bps?
Does anybody know contact information of the author of the HowTo Marc Bernard ?

Hello Friedrich, Everyone,
the coding is included in a separate ZIP file that you can download from the how-to guide page here on SDN:
Business Intelligence How-to Guides for SAP NetWeaver 2004
There's a "Download attached system files (ZIP 13KB)" included at the end of the description. I think you can figure out the rest

How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using a Web Browser

Hello,
I'm using the upload functionality described in the how to guide.
When we want to have this functionality available for 12 different Planning levels. Do I have to create the Web Interface (as described in the how to guide) for each Planning Level separately, or can i pass a parameter in the URL (wenn calling the File Upload functionality) to determine which Planning level and Function it is.
This pice of coding i want to have a bit more flexible
*Execute planning function
CALL FUNCTION 'API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE'
 EXPORTING
 i_area = 'ZIPM0001' " <<<< ADJUST
 i_plevel = 'ZCAPB006' " <<<< ADJUST
 i_package = '0-ADHOC' " <<<< ADJUST
 i_function = 'ZEX00001' " <<<< ADJUST
 i_param = 'Z0000001' " <<<< ADJUST
 IMPORTING
 e_subrc = l_subrc
 TABLES
 etk_return = lt_bapiret.
Does someone have an idea ?
Thank you
Dieter

Hi Dieter,
you should be able to grab the variable value by the following statement (e.g. in this case 'area' is being passed along, works for whatever you want to send) is:
data: l_area type upc_y_area.
l_area = request->get_form_field( 'area' ).
in this case the calling URL looks like:
<normal URL>?area=example_area
example_area will then contain your value.
Then depending on the value execute your different SEM functions
Note that if you want to load different flatfile formats, more has to change in the functions as indicated in the white paper,
Hope it helps,
Regards,
MArc
I got it from the following document I found on SAPNet or SDN (forgot..) some time back:

BPS - How to Load Flat File ... - Transport RC 8

Hi Guys,
We tried to implement the How to solution named "How to Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using SAPGUI" and in development in works fine.
When we tried to transport in Quality we had a RC 8 (falure) because of the coding of the global data of the function group.
In fact in the global data we have to declare some Types referred to a Table Type that has the following name: /1sem/_yth_data_<sy-mandt><Planning_Area>. Since mandt is different the Table Type cannot be found ... and in STMS we get the message "The type '/1SEM/_YTH_DATA_170ZCSPAB11'" is unknown.
Did somebody of you experienced suche a problem and found a solution?
Thanks in advace to who will help

Hi Marc,
about client numbers ... I will repeat your suggestion to system administrators. I noticed the habitude to give ALWAYS different client numbers in all the installation I worked on! I know it's a non-sense but generally we start to work after the system has been installed ...
The solution to use Custom DDIC types according to e has the advantage of an easier implementation but the disadvantage usage, especially in dynamic projects!
At least I came (with some help form ABAP Forum Guys) to an ABAP "coding" solution that I would like to share in a weblog (already asked for to SDN).
Bye

Can anyone tell me how can we skip column from flat file , I can’t open flat file into excel as CSV due to large volume
Does anyone has any solution for the same.

Filler can be use when we want to skip database table column or we want to put null in database table column
but if we have 10 column in flat file and we want to load 1,2,5,7 number column from flat file
then I think filler will not work
If yes then plz let me know.

How to load flat file in BPS through Web-debugging

Hi,
We are working on flat file upload in BPS thru guide 'How to load flat file in BPS through Web'. Can some one guide on how to debug the function modules used while uploading the data.
We have set up the break point in the function modules and also in the BSP page. But when trying to debug while uploading, it is not going to the break point which was set.
Could you assist in setting up the break point.

Hi,
I have put an external break-point.
I have hard coded it in the coding of the function module itself.
The code is perfectly working. But, when I want to check for the values of the variables in the F.M during runtime, the break-point is not triggering. Any ideas??

*** Question How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0

Hi, I created an manual DTP upload to my planning infocube and it works fine. The transformation rules convert 0CALMONTH into the relevant Calendar and Fiscal characteristics. So all of my Time Characteristics are fine, both Calendar and Fiscal.
However, When using the "How to load a file into BI-Integrated Planning and use WAD 7.0" solution, only the Calendar Characteristics are populated and not the Fiscal. The upload application somehow knows to populate the 0CALMONTH2, 0CALQUART1, 0CALQUARTER, and 0CALYEAR.
How can I get the upload to populate my Fiscal Period Characteristics?
Would it be best to modify the "Upload Application, or can I write a planning function to update the fiscal characteristics, or some other way?
Thanks!

My planning data is being uploaded via the SDN Planning File Upload Solution. What I did was end up modifiying the upload class ZCL_RSPLF_FILE_UPLOAD Method EXECUTE.
I added the following code if anyone is interested.

How to load flat file containing data(separated by commas) into cube sapbi.

hi gurus,
please help me with this question?
i have some data in the flat file for example, address but with commas for ex:
h.no:123,colony,area,hyd-59.now i have even other columns in this flat file like customer name,age.....i want to know ,how to load this data into infocube. where in when it comes to address column sap bi takes it as a single column in the generated report.

Hi Amulya,
To get reports on all ur records save ur flat file in .CSV format -> to do this open ur flat file, save as "filename.csv".
-> CSV is nothing but comma seperator value, sap supports two types of formats 1).csv and 2) ASCII format.
we prefer .csv format.
check this link for step by step modelling.

Error while loading flat file into DSO

Hi
I am loading data from a flat file into a DSO. My fields in the flat file are Trans_Dt, (CHAR) Particulars (CHAR), Card_Name, (CHAR) Exps_Type, (CHAR)
Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt, (CURR)
0Currency (CHAR)
In the proposal tab apart from the above mentioned fields 3 additional fields viz, field 10, field 11, and field 12 have come. How did these 3 additional fields come when I don't have any additional fields in my flat file? I've deleted these extra 3 fields though.
When I activate the DataSource it is getting activated but then I get the message 'Data structures were changed. Start transactions before hand'. What does this message mean?
When I hit the 'Read preview data' button it doesn't show me any data and gives me the error Missing reference to currency field / unit field for the fields Debit_Amount,Credit_Amount,***._Amt,Open_Bal_Check_Acnt
How do I create a reference field to the above mentioned fields?
Earlier I didn't have the 0Currency field in the flat file. But in my DSO while creating the key figures by default the 0Currency field also got created which is quite obvious. Now while activating the transformations I was getting a message that 'No source field for the field 0Currency'. Hence I had to create a new field in my flat file called 0Currency and load it with USD in all rows.
Please help me in loading this flat file into the DSO.
Thank you.
TR.

Hi guys,
Thanks a lot for your answers. with your help I could see the data in the 'Read preview data' and schedule the load. I did use all the Info objects in the info objects column of the data source to load the flat file.
The data is in PSA successfully without any issues. but when I executed the DTP it failed with errors.
Earlier there was no mapping from Currency field in source to the all the key figure fields in the target in the transformation. The mapping was only from Currency to 0CURRENCY but still the transformation got activated. As per your advise I mapped Currency field to the remaining Key Figure fields but then I am getting the error
'Source parameter CURRENCY is not being used'
Why is that so?
list of Errors after executing the DTP:
1. 'Record filtered because records with the same key contain errors'
Message:
Diagnosis: The data record was filtered out becoz data records with the same key have already been filtered out in the current step for other reasons and the current update is non-commutative (for example, MOVE). This means that data records cannot be exchanged on the basis of the semantic key.
System Response: The data record is filtered out; further processing is performed in accordance with the settings chosen for error handling.
Procedure: Check these data records and data records with the same key for errors and then update them.
Procedure for System administration
Can you please explain this error and how should I fix this error.
2. Exception input_not_numeric; see long text - ID RSTRAN
Diagnosis: An exception input_not_numeric was raised while executing function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ.
System Response
Processing the corresponding record has been terminated.
Procedure
To analyse the cause, set a break point in the program of the transformation at the call point of function module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ. Simulate the data transfer process to investigate the cause.
Procedure for System Administration
What does this error mean? How do I set a breakpoint in the program to fix this error inorder to load the data?
What does Procedure for System Administration mean?
Please advise.
Thank you.
