Working with Flat files in OWB

I am getting flat files from mainframe tables and I created external tables in OWB for mapping. I get data from flat files sometimes and I dont get data even though the file exists and there is no way to debug where the problem is in the files.
When we import the file metadata do we have to specify the column attributes or we should leave it 0 so that it take default of 255.
If you have any process on how files should be created which is practised in your place without problems pl let me know.
thnks...

Hi,
Do you mean that you are not getting flat file data into the external tables ? in that case see the bad file and try to analyze the reason. Most of the lengths of the fields set up in the external table creates a problem. In that case increase the length of the external table fields to a comfortably large value and then try.

    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:

    Validation Event handlers will not work with your trusted recon. You can use the GTC Validation provider, it is nothing but the plugins which you can insert with in your source field in GTC. I think you can easily get the steps for how to create a custom GTC Providers.

    Make a Directory where the source files are located.
    You dont need the put the file into Home directory of OWB. Look at directory, if you have access right.
    Here an example of contol file
    --options (direct=true)                                   
    load data
    --INFILE 'd:\loadfine\A_20080215.DAT'
    --BADFILE 'd:\loadfile\A_20080215.BAD'                       
    -- DISCARDFILE 'd:\loadfile\A_20080215.DIS'
    TRUNCATE

  • How IE works for  flat file

    Hi all:
         As we all know that, when IE gets a idoc's service name from SLD, then use it with idoc's message type and Idoc type to do receiver determniation, what about flat file ? how can we know its Service name and interface name  if there is only a flat file on FTP?  how IE works for Flat file ?
         Couldn't thank you more

    Hi,
    For any idoc scenarious, you would use business systems rather than business service which is stored in SLD. So the IE would fetch it from SLD at runtime.
    For file based scenarious also, you can create business system as type third party and use the same.
    Is that answer your question?

  • Extracting data from flat file in OWB

    Hi,
    Does anyone know, how to run a mapping having source as flat file in OWB?
    I am facing a problem as run button becomes disabled as it is SQL Loader script.
    When I register the TCL script with OEM it doesn't pass the name of the CTL file
    as parameter and so the job fails.
    If anyone knows how to do it, please reply.

  • Has anyone not working with .dv files had synchronization problems?

    Has anyone not working with .dv files had sound synchronization problems? I'm not exactly sure what the alternatives to DV are, but I think one of them is HD.
    The reason for asking this question is to help isolate the nature and cause of a very serious flaw in iMovie '11. In the original release of iMovie '11 (version 9.0) there was a small--but serious--synchronization problem. In the 9.01 there is a large synchronization problem. We know of one person who has not experienced the problem, and he is not working with DV files (media). So we want to find out if anyone who is using something other than .dv files is experiencing a lack of synchronization between sound and picture. Knowing the answer to this will help with figuring out where the cause lies. For the initial iMovie '11 release (9.0), you probably would not notice a problem unless you had very long event-clips, e.g., two hours long. Events get this long if you are transferring from analog 8 mm tapes. Even then, it would have to be in scenes in which the connection between event and sound is obvious, e.g., close ups of people talking. It isn't until the 9.01 release that most people would notice anything. All we need to do is establish one case of a synchronization problem in which the person is using something other than DV.

    Hopefully, the 9.0.2 release will make my question moot. Zyfert must have posted the announcement of the release just as I was formulating my question. Still, if you have information on the subject, it would be interesting to hear.

  • Working with RAW files in PSE9:  Doable or better to use PSE12?

    I have PSE 9 and will soon get a camera with RAW capability.  I notice that Adobe no longer supports PSE 9.  Am I in for trouble if I don't upgrade to PSE 12 since I don't know how to work with RAW files?  It sounds as if I will need something to convert RAW files?  Where do I get it?  Is it a big deal for a beginner with no software skills?

    You can download a free DNG Converter from Adobe and then convert your RAWs to DNGs which can be used in PSE9.
    You don't need PSE12, but if you want to purchase PSE 12, you get the most current features in the Raw processor (which in my opinion is a huge improvement over what is available in PSE9), and you don't need the extra step of converting to DNG.

  • Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

    Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
    We have implemented the following configuration
    Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
    Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
    Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
    \\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
     What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
    reboot.
    Considerations until now:
    1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
    2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
    3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
    \\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
    What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
    located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
    Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
    Thanks to all who respond.

    Dear all,
    sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
    What was done:
    Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
    Carefully recreated folder targets
    Deleted and recreated  replication groups
    Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
    Created EnableTCPA registry entry
    Checked that the following Updates are installed

  • Working with RAW files in iPhoto 5.0.4 and Elements 4.0.1

    I take photos in RAW mode and download them to iPhoto. When I try to edit the photo in iPhoto, the picture is a tiny little file that is impossible to enlarge with any sort of clarity. Also, the word "RAW" does not appear anywhere on the iPhoto window like I read it is supposed to.
    When I drag the file to Photoshop Elements, I get an editing window that has none of the tools usually associated with JPEG files. I get a separate window in which I can darken or lighten the image, that's it.
    Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. No one in their right mind would ever use RAW if this is how it works.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Jack!
    If you're new working with RAW files, your right, it just doesn't make sense. RAW <imho> is a bit overrated. One thing you will need to keep in mind when shooting in RAW, is you will still need to take a well exposed image. What RAW files will allow are CHANGES in all areas of the image v. JPEG which may allow you to ADJUST a few settings in the image. My only suggestion would be to kepp playing around with PSE until you get the hang of it, it is an excellent image editing software. But realize, a well exposed JPEG and RAW file are hard to tell apart...
    Personally, I do not directly download RAW files through iPhoto but will create a folder and download to here, and simply drage folder to iPhoto to import (which are then 'converted' into JPEG files). This way I have the original RAW images safely located outside of iPhoto as well as in iPhoto. You should set Elements as your choice of application to edit files inside iPhoto.
    Good luck, Rick

  • Working with Large files in Photoshop 10

    I am taking pictures with a 4X5 large format film camera and scanning them at 3,000 DPI, which is creating extremely large files. My goal is to take them into Photoshop Elements 10 to cleanup, edit, merge photos together and so on. The cleanup tools don't seem to work that well on large files. My end result is to be able to send these pictures out to be printed at large sizes up to 40X60. How can I work in this environment and get the best print results?

    You will need to work with 8bit files to get the benefit of all the editing tools in Elements.
    I would suggest resizing at resolution of 300ppi although you can use much lower resolutions for really large prints that will be viewed from a distance e.g. hung on a gallery wall.
    That should give you an image size of 12,000 x 18,000 pixels if the original aspect ratio is 2:3
    Use the top menu:
    Image >> Resize >> Image Size

  • Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

    Hey,
    Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes.  Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor.  I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8.  Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
    Matt

    Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro.  So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment. 
    It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav? 
    I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.    
    Thank you for folowing up on this. 
    PS.  I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect.  It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore?  You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?  
    Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right? 

  • Working with Multiple Files in Workspace Layout

    If I was working with multiple files in the workspace layout, they each used to be available for selection from a tab.  Now I can either cascade the files horizontally or vertically - but not have them appear in a tab across the top of the workspace layout.
    Does anyone know how to set the workspace to present multiple files in tabs?  I have CS3.

    Tanya,
    This may not help, but the times when that happens to me is when I go too fast and some operations haven't finished. I then try to select a file that hasn't completed and the file I select is in the process of having the data updated. The worst is when it is trying to render as I am doing something.
    I hope this helps some.

  • Help: Working with .MOV files in FCP and forced to RENDER FOR EVERY EDIT

    I'm working with .MOV files from my digital camera in Final Cut Pro and every time I make a new edit, I have to render it in order to see it in the canvas.
    How do I make it so that I don't have to render every edit in order to see it?
    (I've worked with files straight from a DV camera, and editing went fine. I'm assuming it has to do with the .MOV files)

    DV Cameras are not the same thing as a Digital camera. Digital cameras offer video on a limited basis and it's usually highly compressed in a non-editing format such as MPEG-2 or similar. NLEs are made to work with video cameras, not still cameras which is why you're having trouble.
    That's not to say you can't edit video captured with a digital camera, but you need to know how to prep it for editing. Some digital cameras shoot at odd frame rates and they all use some form of compression that is not typically used in editing. This means that you'll likely need to convert your clips to an editable format first using Compressor.
