Using Web Upload for Flat File in BW-BPS 3.5 Stack 13

Hi,
I am attempting to implement the "How To Guide Load a Flat File into BW-BPS Using a Web Browser" (the 7/2005 version). However, certain BSP files named in the How to Guide, such as "JS.htm" and "checkbrowser.htm" do not exist in my generated BSP application. We are on BW-BPS version 3.5 Stack 13. Is this guide compatible with this BW version?
Thanks,
Cynara
(Note: I have already attempted to correct the incompatibilities by changing the statement <%@include file="js.htm" %> to <%@include file="JS3.htm" %> and eliminating the code <%@include file="checkbrowser.htm" %>. However, I still get the JS3.htm error "field R_PAGE is unknown".)

Hi Cynara,
I try to do the same.
I left out those both lines and also the line concerning the style.
<link type="text/css" href="<%= cstyle %>" rel="stylesheet">
The upload worked then so far except that no data was written into the cube. Even if I press save button nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Juergen

Delta upload for flat file extraction

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to initialize delta update for a flat file extraction, If yes please explain how to do that??

Hi Norton,
For a Flat file data source, the upload will be always FULL.
Please refer to following doc:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0b3f0e2-832d-2c10-1ca9-d909ca40b54e?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&43581033152710 if you need to to extract delta records from Flat file. We can write routine at infopackage level.

Web Dynpro component - Flat file upload

Hi,
We have a requirement to upload a flat file to Planning cube (real time cube) through Web Dynpro component.
Web Dynpro component which we have developed is able to read the records from the flat file.
Now, the issue is u201CHow can we save the records read from the flat file to planning cubeu201D?
If anyone has worked on the similar requirement, pls reply. Thanks in advance.
Note : We have a planning sequence which will be executed on the click of UPLOAD button.
This planning sequence has a filter on Infoprovider (cube which we are using for planning) and a planning function of type u201CFile uploadu201D in which we have defined the flat file format.
Aggregation level is made on Multiprovider which has 2 underlying cubes (One is realtime and other one is standard).
Is there any function module in which we can pass the name of the flat file so that it will be uploaded in planing cube?
Regards,
Ankur

You can deploy solution provided by Marc Bernard within following SDN's contribution:

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.

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

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.

Upload a flat file to BPS layout with hierarchy: is it possible?

Hello, BPS people!
I used a known "HowTo...using SAPGUI" to load a flat file to BPS layout. Finally I need to use a predefined layout with several variables and hierarchical representation of characteristic values in the key field ( I can't use a special layout for file uploading!). The procedure works fine if I use a flat structure of characteristic in the key field (no hierarchy). But once I choose a hierarchical representation of key characteristic in the level (but nonhierarchical model in the first screen of layout builder!) the layout data after uploading is absolutely wrong!
1) whether is it possible to perform that without ABAP coding?
2) If not, how can I change the function modules to use hierarchy?
Thank you!
Yurij

Sorry again!
I have solved it.
Probably nobody understood my question. First, I have tried to attach file upload function (see "How To..load a flat file into BW-BPS using SAPGUI") to the same planning level where original planning layout with hierarchical structure in the key field already existed. But now I realized that it's impossible!
SOLUTION: It is necessary to build the file upload function at the separated planning level with the same structure as that in the uploaded file. No hierarchies allowed in the "Selection" tab of planning level !!
Such upload function operates perfectly in the planning folder where original layout with the hierarchical structure of key characteristic is presented. After the file upload you can perform all further activities in the planning folder (including that with uploaded data).
Thanks,
Yurij
