Urgent: Transport of Flat File Data Source

While transporting flat file data source is it required to transport first in a separate request or everything can go in 1 request.
Thank you,
sam

Hi,
In this case it can go in one request as no replication is needed. But for other datasources, you need to send the datasources first in a separate request and then replicate the datasource in BW before you send the BW changes.

Flat file data sources info pack executing for long time with yellow

I can see flat file all records 140 in above screen but i could not see data in PSA . when i am trying to see the PSA it show not data .
I have tries to make status to green but still request not process to Data target .

HI,
When you see message like there is no psa mean data source was not in active.
so activate your data source Thru by using SE38 - RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL(bw 7.x).
After the activation you can try to load data.before that make your yellow request to red status and delete it.
later reload the same flat file.
Thanks

Cube like aggregation behavior from a flat file data source

Is the following workflow possible in Xcelsius and if so how would your organize you logic to be able to acheive this? Any examples would greatly be appreciated
My data source is XML, therefore a flat file.
The flat file contains multiple dimensions for which the customer wants to aggregate by based on the selection and also include and "ALL" option for every dimension/selector.
Essentially, the file is structured like this:
ie: Dim1 Dim 2 Dim3   Dim 4   Dim5 Metric1    Metric2
       a        c         e          j          l          5             5
       a        c         e          j          m        3             2
       a        c         e          j          n         4             8
       a        c         e         k          o         3             4
       a        c         e         k          n         8             2
        ...etc
We need drop down selectors for Dim1-Dim4 with the "ALL" option. I would have my tables and charts etc use the Dim5, Metric1 and Metric2.
I've used the "Lookup" function to create 1 level of aggregation in a flat file structure with 1 dimension, such as the "Lookup" would call all the Dim1entries and insert into a group of referenced cells and then i would use the "Sum" function from Excel.
But is this possible with multiple dimensions and include the "ALL" option. If so, how? The workflow defined is ideal for a CUBE architecture but for many different political reasons we need to be able to address this with Xcelsius being sourced from a flat file ie XML. Any insight would be greatly appreciated..

hi there.
if you backend is SAP BW connected via OLAP Universe you could use L0 Dimensions for all aggregation in WebI Layer. (Check the Blog's of Ingo Hilgefort for details)

Working with flat file as source in owb 10.2

Hi,
I am working with flat file as source . While validating the mapping i am getting the following error like
" to specify a data file configure the mapping , add a node under ' Source data file', type in the file name
and select the file location."
Please give me the suggestion . It is very urgent.

Hi Venkat,
I tried the following stepts.
1. in Design Center select your mapping and right click and select configure
2. select sql loader data files and select create
3. On right hand side data file Name : enter your source file name (ex : source.csv)
4. click ok button.
5. open mapping and validate.
The mapping is validating. After validating I deployed the mapping. Up to this the mapping is working fine.
But when I start the mapping, It has completed with errors.
The error message is:
Status
Error Log
RPE-01013: SQL Loader reported error condition, number 1.
LRM-00112: multiple values not allowed for parameter 'control'
Job Summary
Updated : 2009-02-24 15:32:43.0 Job Final Status : Completed with errors Job Processed Count : 1 Job Error Count : 1 Job Warning Count : 0
Please give me the suggestions.

Flat File as Source in OWB Mapping.

Hi All,
Configuration Details is as follows:
Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Client: 9.2.0.2.8
Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Repository: 9.2.0.2.0
Windows XP Professional
I developed a mapping which involves a flat file as source & Oracle Table as target steps followed were as follows.
1. Created Flat File module, selected Connector & Location Details.
2. Done mapping for source file & target table.
3. Validated & Generated the mappings.
4. Deployed the mapping in Deployment Manager.
5. Following was Error Message after execution of the mapping.
Completion Status: Completed with errors.
Meesage Log: Starting Execution of VHM_MAP2. Starting Task VHM_MAP2. RPE-01013:SQL Loader reported error condition,number 4. Completing Task VHM_MAP2.
Following was Control File generated by the above mapping.
OPTIONS ( ERRORS=50, BINDSIZE=50000, ROWS=200, READSIZE=65536)
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
INFILE '{{TEXT_DATA_LOCATION.RootPath}}dept.txt'
BADFILE '{{TEXT_DATA_LOCATION.RootPath}}dept.bad'
DISCARDFILE '{{TEXT_DATA_LOCATION.RootPath}}dept.discard'
INTO TABLE "{{TARGET_LOCATION.Schema}}"."DEPT"
APPEND
REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
FIELDS
TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
"DEPTNO" POSITION (1) INTEGER EXTERNAL ,
"DNAME" CHAR ,
"LOC" CHAR
Please note that no message is displayed in Row Activity & output parameters in Deployment Manager.
I worked on lower version of the OWB & in that version there was no concept of Location, Connector, Deployment Manager.
Not sure why the above mapping is failing?
Also I would like to know where can I get more information about the mapping errors which are different from oracle error messages.
e.g. In above case error message is RPE-01013: SQL Loader reported error condition, number 4 .
Thanks in Advance.

Vidyanand

Flat file data upload to ODS failed

Hi guys,
While loading the flat file data to ODS, it gets fails immediately without loading single record. Error message shows ::
" Error when opening the data file <file name> (origin A)."
"Error in the data request"
"Error occurred in the data selection"
I am trying to load the data manually thru Infopackage and file is lying in the Application Server and full access given to it. But the important part is when we try to load the file again without doing any changes, it run fine and loads the data without any issues. This happens with every load & everyday.
Any solutions?
Regards
Sanjiv

How to specify inclusion and exclusion rules for File data sources

This is the seed URL for a file data source: file://localhost/c:/myDir/
I want to exclude indexing and searching of files under: file://localhost/c:/myDir/obsolete/
What is the exact format for the exclusion URL?
I have tried both file://localhost/c:/myDir/obsolete/ and /myDir/obsolete/
but neither of it seems to work; it still indexes everything under /myDir/
Should I just put: /obsolete/ as the exclusion URL?
Also after initial crawling, if I change the inclusion and or exclusion rules and then run the crawler again, it should update the indexes accordingly. Is that right?
The version of UltraSearch I am using is 1.0.3.
Thanks for any help on this.

Try "/c:/myDir/obsolete/"
Changing inclusion/exclusion rule does not affect files already crawled. It onyl
affects next crawling behavior.
To do any DML to existing data set, use SQL directly on wk$url table under the instance owner.

How to store the flat file data into custom table?

Hi,
Iam working on inbound interface.Can any one tell me how to store the flat file data into custom table?what is the procedure?

Hie
u can use function
F4_FILENAME
to pick the file from front-end or location.
then use function
WS_UPLOAD
to upload into
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'   "Function to pick file
    EXPORTING
      field_name = 'p_file'     "file
    IMPORTING
      file_name = p_file.     "file
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
   EXPORTING
     filename                       = p_file1
    TABLES
      data_tab                      = it_line
*then loop at it_line splitting it into the fields of your custom table.
loop at it_line.
          split itline at ',' into
          itab-name
          itab-surname.
endloop.
then u can insert the values into yo table from the itab work area.

Flat file data load - ODS - Look up data in Startroutine

Hi All,
There is a requirement that I have two ODS say 1) ABC and XYZ.
For Both ODS , We load flat file data.
First we load data to ABC for current fiscal period
During the data load to XYZ, We lookup part nos data in ABC for current fiscal period , if data there , for those part nos we load XYZ Flat file data.
My requirement is that , I need to fetch part nos data from ABC for Fiscal period < current fisacl period. Then I need to extract already loaded data for those part nos from XYZ and Mark the flag field as Non reportable .
How can we achieve this ?
Please advice
Thanks
Ajay

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done so. When I add lines of My Internal table data to DATA_PACKAGE, It gives the syntax error that both structures are not unique. We have several fields in XYZ ods but they are not in Communication structure.
Thats the problem. Also , if I write the code , will it be executed for each datapackage. I mean , for each datapacket process , my code will fetch whole data from ABC and then from XYZ. Repetion will be there?
Any other logic can i use ?
Thanks
Ajay

File Data Source: does not support any other host except LOCALHOST?

I am using US 1.0.3.
This exercpt is from the OTN iLearn Subscribed course titled "Oracle9i UltraSearch New Features" on operating system file access:
"The file protocol is used only for the machine that launches the crawler. You can not specify any other host for this kind of URL, except LOCALHOST."
Does it mean that US 1.0.3 can not be used to search other file servers on the network? For example, we have US 1.0.3 installed on a server S1 which is on a network with other servers (e.g. S2). I want to use US to search files in the folder myDir on server S2. So I tried to create a file data source with this URL:
file://\\s2\myDir\
But I got this error:
Invalid file protocol URL: file//\\s2\myDir\
Hostname of the file URL "file://\\s2\myDir\ is not "localhost".
My question:
(1) Can US 1.0.3 search files on a different server than the one US is running on?
(2) If so, how to specify the URL using the above example for it to work?
(3) If not, how about the newer version of US, 9.2 or 9.02? Can they be used to search files on other network servers/drives?
(4) If no to question (3), is there any plan to support this in the future version of US?
My comment: Not able to search other servers really limits the userfulness of US. I really hope Oracle will consider adding this capability.
Thanks!

More on my previous questions:
Since I posted my previous question, I have read on the 1.0.3 online help that we can define remote crawlers to crawl "on a remote machine other than the Oracle Ultra Search database". So I assume this is how to make US to search on other servers. In the online documentation it also includes the following paragraph on "Remote Crawler Profiles Page":
"Use this page to view and edit remote crawler profiles. A remote crawler profile consists of all parameters needed to run the Ultra Search crawler on a remote machine other than the Oracle Ultra Search database. A remote crawler profile is identified by the hostname. The profile includes the cache, log, and mail directories that the remote crawler shares with the database machine. "
The Remote Crawler Profiles Page, however, displays only remote crawlers already defined and the page seems to be used just for editing the porfiles of these defined remote crawlers.
My questions:
(1) How do I create the remote crawlers and defines the profiles in the first place?
(2) Where can I find more documentation on remote crawlers?
(3) Once the remote crawlers are set up, how do I specify the file URLs for each remote crawler?
(4) With US9.02 or 9.2, does remote crawler work the same as in 1.0.3, or are there any enhancements?
Thanks!

How to Merge Flat file data and DSO Data

I have one DSO A which has more than 20 objects (5 of them are keys), which include 0comp_code,0gl_account,. I have a Flat file which has the following fields ,COMPANY CODE, GLACCOUNT and SUPERVISOR ,EXECUTIVE,ANALYST. My requirement is to get a DSO with consolidated data from DSO A and Flat File data. That means for exapme, In my DSO A , I have US01 COMPANY CODE so when I merge the data in DSO C It should diplay the data for the supervisor exe and analyst for DSO A as well
When I added with 2 DSOs A (ECC ) and B (Flat file)..C is getting the data from B and its appending the data for Flat file at the end...So I want to merge both...DSO A should match up with DSO B flat file company code and gl account and should display the remaining fields
I think its clear..Can any one let me know the solution ASAP...
Note: We are on BI7.0 not 3.5...
Thanks in advance

I have the following key fields in DSO A :
0COMP_CODE,OGL_ACCOUNT, 0CHRT_ACCT,0FISCVARNT,0FISCPER,0AC_DOC_NUMBER,0ITEM_NUM.
Here are the total fields in Flat File:
COMPANY CODE,GL ACCOUNT,SUPERVISOR,ANALYST,EXECUTIVE.
Here am taking 0COMP_CODE and 0GL_ACCOUNT as key fileds in DSO B for Flat File...
For every month there will be 5 to 6000 records for Flat file ...
Thanks
