Using Proposed Fields  - Flat File to DataSource rather than InfoObjects

Hi Experts,
We are doing one test project in which our source data is Flat Files. We want to load into DSO and InfoCube. Then our next step will be MultiProvider and produce reports on MultiProvider. Can you please clarify?
From Flat File to DataSource(PSA) we are using Proposed Fields rather than InfoObjects to Transfer Data.
From DataSource to InfoProvider we are using InfoObjects to Transfer Data.
My question to you is, is it correct to use Proposed Fields rather than InfoObjects from Flat File to DataSource Transfer?
Thank you,
Srini.

Hi, check in Proposal tab, you need to check if the field
types and lengths are correct (If they match the file you have or will receive).In some cases, the proposal will not be accurate, and you will need to adjustthe fields type and length on the fields tab. This is the case with the field length and type.
Thanks
Reddy

  • Flat File Hierarchy Datasources

    We are creating several flat file hierarchy datasources. The datasources will be maintained in an external database.
    I am familiar with the creation of flat file datasources for master and transactional data, but don't have good documentation for how the external flat file hierarchy is to be formatted.
    We have reviewed the 2004 Netweaver Document "How to Download Hierarchies in BW" and have used the program referenced there, Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD, to download our hierarchies to then test the upload.
    However, this has not worked.
    Does anyone have the record layout that the flat file must be in to upload a simple 2-level hierarchy (for example groupings of 0vendor)?
    Thanks, Doug

    I think the URL you mention is http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fa/e92637c2cbf357e10000009b38f936/content.htm.
    This contains the record layout instructions as follows.
      5.      Maintaining the hierarchy:
    Choose Hierarchy Maintenance, and specify a technical name and a description of the hierarchy.
    PSA Transfer Method: You have the option here to set the Remove Leaf Value and Node InfoObjects indicator. As a result, characteristic values are not transferred into the hierarchy fields NODENAME, LEAFFROM and LEAFTO as is normally the case, but in their own transfer structure fields.  This option allows you to load characteristic values having a length greater than 32 characters.
    Characteristic values with a length > 32 can be loaded into the PSA, but they cannot be updated in characteristics that have a length >32.
    The node names for pure text nodes remain restricted to 32 characters in the hierarchy (0HIER_NODE characteristic).
    The system automatically generates a table with the following hierarchy format (for sorted hierarchies without removed leaf values and node InfoObjects):
    Description
    Field Name
    Length

  • Interface used in loading flat file data into bw

    what is the interface used in loading flat files into the bw system.

    HI Flat file load is its own interface.  It leverages the S-API (Service API), the standard interface that is used to load data in the BI system.

  • I have a file where I store my download music. When I click on "add music" to my ipod my music file opens, but rather than have to drag one song at a time to my ipod, how do I copy the entire file at once to my ipod. - steve

    Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

    I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes.  I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format.  However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there.  I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC.  I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.

    hi,
        the sid are used instead of the data in order to avoid the redunduncy of data.

  • SSIS : How to create Column Header dynamically using expression in Flat File Source

    Hi Team,
    I need to keep configured Header Names for columns, Is there is any way to set each column name from expression? or is there is any other way?

    Nope
    But you could add a dummy row to your source to include column headers and then use options column headers in first row in flat file connection manager.
    So suppose you've three columns column0,coulmn1,column2 and you want to make it as ID,Name,Datethen make source query as
    SELECT 'ID' AS Col1,'Name' AS Col2,'Date' AS Col3, 0 AS ord
    UNION ALL
    SELECT Column1,Column2,Column3,1
    FROM YourTable
    ORDER BY Ord
    then choose  column headers in first row option

  • Any way to link to a file in Catalyst, rather than a URL or state?

    Given the 20 page limitation, I'm having to build my prototype in chunks, but so far have been unable to find a way to link up the various prototypes.  Does anyone know of a way to add a link to a local file rather than a live URL or simply another state within the same prototype?  Even in code view it seems I'm unable to delete the "http://" that it adds automatically to links...

    Many people can solve their problems with the 20 page limit using custom components. You should check out this thread
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2500263#2500263
    It is possible to use the onClick -> go to State and set states on a custom component or any of its subcomponents.
    Catalyst does not currently support linking to a local files.

  • Using WRE to send a wireless signal rather than expand a signal

    Hi all, I'm hoping you might be able to help me out on this. I have a Linksys router and a WRE. The router does not have wireless, but i was curious if it's possible to trunk the router to the WRE, and have it send out a wireless signal, rather than pick up on and expand an existing signal. If so, what would i have to do to achieve this.
    Thanks!

    If the router does not have Wireless then you cannot use your Range Expander...In other word's, what you want to establish is not possible with the Range Expander...
    However, this is possible with a Wireless Access Point(WAP54G)...You can connect an Access Point(WAP54G) to your router to send a Wireless Signal...

  • Dock uses icon of first item in folder rather than folder's own icon. Fix??

    I have a folder with its own custom icon.  When I drag that folder to the right hand end of the dock (mine is set horizontally), Mavericks insists on setting the dock icon for that folder to the icon of the first item (alphabetically) in the folder, rather than the icon for the folder itself.  How do I fix this??
    Thanks!
    DM

    Hi William,
    Thanks for your reply. It's already displayed as a folder, but this has nothing to do with how the contents are displayed when I click the icon in the Dock. I'm talking about the icon that the Dock shows for my folder. Changing the display options has no effect on that.
    If I drag a new, empty folder from the Finder to the Dock, it has the standard OS X folder icon in the dock.  But as soon as I drag things into that folder (in the Finder), the dock icon changes to the icon for the first item in the folder. Even if I paste a custom icon into the folder's Get Info window in the Finder, the Dock ignores this and uses the icon for the first item in the folder.

  • Using PDF files for items rather than .png.

    Hi there
    We have been looking into improving iBook production. We have a few books that feature elements that are comprise of a background image with text over the top. As the text isn't in an iPad-friendly font (I.e. not in iOS) and it doesn't have to be searchable. Previously, the items have been produced individually either in Illustrator or Photoshop. The main 'problem' with this is the plethora of file it creates, and the huge amount to time taken to apply style changes across all the separate items, save, re-import into iBA, and re-apply all the iBA-specific attributes.
    In an effort to speed up production somewhat, we have been trying to create these items in InDesign, using style sheets etc to give standardised appearance across all the items, and then drag and drop into iBA. The advantage is that all the separate items are in one document, and all style changes can be instantly applied to all items instantaneously, saving time, space, and effort.
    It places them as PDFs, and after unzipping the .iba file, the PDFs look fine, with pin-sharp text (as you'd expect, as PDF text would be vector data. Similarly, when you zoom in to the items in iBA, the text is still pin-sharp.
    However, once the iBA is previewed on a iPad, the text goes a little blurry. As one of the fonts is a dot-matrix-type font, the effect is noticeable - all the dots blur together into a line.
    Does anyone have any idea as to what is happening to the PDF between iBA and the iPad? Does it rasterise it at some point?

    Hi Ken
    'What leads me think it would?', well the fact that it worked, and looks ok. The iBook previews fine and works fine on the iPad.
    We initially came up with the idea when we 'unzipped' an .iba file (you know, changing the .iba extension to .zip, then unarchiving the contents), and found that iBA itself had created .pdf files for the full-screen photos which appeared rotated and shadowed on the iPad page, but were viewed as straight, unshadowed, images. (the rotated version was the iBA-created PDF file, the full-screen was the original .jpg we pulled into iBA). Naturally, we were surprised. So we started mucking about, and found that drag/drop from ID worked, and looked OK.
    As an update to my original post, it appears that the difference in quality was due to the fonts used. Once we opened the .PDFs within the .iba file, we converted the text to outlines, resaved the .pdfs, changed the unzipped folder back to an .iba file, and the font now looks great.
    BTW, Is it me, or were you being snippy?

  • How do you open and save PNG files as images rather than a document (which my MacBook is doing automatically)?

    Hi,
    Basically I'm doing a course in which i need to import images on a document for evidence (in particular Cirque Du Soleil, yes it's a weird course!) I am using the develop menu tab and using the Inspect Element menu. Here i have found loads of images that are perfect for my evidence, but the images are all showing as PNG files. Whenever I try to save these they will only save as Documents and not images. How can I change this so I can save them as images and import them imto Pages.
    Many Thanks
    Mason

    Hi @Shootist007
    I knew PNG files were image files, that why i was confused when I saved them onto my Mac they were showing as Documents under file type. But i managed to do via Preview (opened it up in Preview then click and dragged to my document).
    Thanks for your help

  • How do I publish calendars imported into iCal from a .ics file to iCloud rather than MobileMe?

    Having upgraded my iPhone4 & iPad to iOS5 and my iMac to OSX 10.7.2, I have been having trouble with duplicate calendar entries. Unfortunately, having deleted all but one calendar from the iCloud web interface, I heeded the mistaken advice to disable Calendars in the iCloud preference pane on the iMac and it deleted the calendars that had been removed from iCould from the iMac as well.
    A few false starts later, I was able, after disconnecting all my devices from the net, to restore my iCal calendars with TimeMachine from before the chaos started then exported them as .ics files. After rebooting and re-enabling the network to the iMac, iCloud sync purged the restored calendars from iCal again, so I imported the .ics files into iCal and published them again, but the publish options only include MobileMe or a private server, so I chose MobileMe. iCal now happily shows all my calendars on the iMac again, but the iCloud web Calendar app can't see them.
    How can I get iCloud to see the published iCal calendars again?

    Solved, I think! What you need to do is log on to your icloud account at www.icloud.com, go to the calendar screen, click the gearwheel and choose New Calendar. Create a calendar here (ie up on the iCloud) with the name you want for your imported calendar data. Then switch to iCal - you may have to quit and relaunch for the new iCloud calendar to appear (or it will probably do so automatically if you wait long enough) then import the data using File->Import->Import... When you get to the step where it asks which calendar you want to import the data into, choose the new iCloud calendar you've just created. Job done!
    To be complete in my answer, I don't think you can exactly do what you want to do, at least not at present. There doesn't seem to be any way to publish a calendar to iCloud after the first time you set up iCloud on your Mac when it exports any calendar data that is on the Mac at that time. I suppose that Apple feel that the way I have described works by exporting from one calendar and importing into another, so no need to provide a way of doing it directly.

  • Using JSP based PCR forms in ERP2005 rather than Adobe interactive forms

    We are currently upgrading from EP5.0 business package 50 to EP7.0 with ERP2005 (ECC 6.0) and are trying to configure our existing custom personal change request forms with our scenarios.
    Originally our custom PCR scenarios where JSP iView and we are hoping to use these again as part of ERP2005. The customisation seems to support this – transaction QISESCENARIO for each scenario you have the option ‘Entry Type in Web’ and you can set it to ‘Entry Using JSP iView’. We can configure the internet link and the portal component also for our JSP view.
    When we try to run this however we get the exception ‘No Adobe Form Is Assigned to the Scenario’. After a quick debug it seems that you always need the Adobe form to be configured.
    None of the documentation for ERP2005 suggests that you can use anything other than Adobe forms, which contradicts the configuration in QISESCENARIO.
    The ISR cookbook (written July 2004) details the creation and configuration of JSP request forms but not what versions they are compatible with.
    Developing you own PCRs for ERP2004 (Can’t find an ERP 2005 version) does not mention JSP iViews at all.
    The release notes for ERP2005 don’t give this a specific mention.
    So, my question is are the use of JSP based request forms permitted with ERP2005 ?

    Hi Phil,
       Interesting - I have a similar issue.  We want to use the Request for Transfer scenario in ERP 2005, but it has not been developed in Adobe forms by SAP yet (it isn't available in 2004 either)!  So, we have decided to use the old JSP PCRs instead.
    Your issue is probably because you're using the same 2005 iviews to create your PCRs.  The 2005 PCR iviews are written in WebDynpro, and appear to assume that each one will be an Adobe form!  If you assign the old PCR iviews to your manager (give them the old MSS role under Migrated Content->EP5.0... in the pcd if you have it installed), you will be able to create a PCR with the JSP forms (regardless of the "Entry in Web" setting in QISRSCENARIO).
    The next issue is the approval.  In 2005, transaction SWFVISU has task TS50000075 configured as Java Webdynpro.  You'll need to change that to iView, and specify ID = com.sap.pct.hcm.isrdispatcher.default.  I'm following the UWL item type guide for this at:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b1/cc1357eead454bb144face4a66be7d/content.htm
    Having said this, my approval is not working!  The item type has clearly changed, because the workitem name is no longer a hyperlink (rather annoying), but when I hit the "Launch Task Page" button (default name I think) I get the error:
    "Unable to perform action because the system returned an invalid URL"
    I can't see this "invalid url" anywhere in the logs, so I can't see where it is getting it from, or what path, etc I'm meant to put!  In your old system, what did you have as the "Server for ISR call" under "Additional Data for Scenario" in QISRSCENARIO?  Also, what did you have in the "URL" box that appears under the Additional Data for Scenario button when you change the Entry Type to JSP?
    Many thanks,
    Russell.
