Wrong century for the dates from flat file

I am in the process of uploading the data from flat file ( aka CSV) into oracle via external table .
All the dates have the year of 20xx. My understanding was 51-99 will be prefixed with 19 ( such as 1951 - 1999) and 00-50
will be prefixed with 20 ( such as 2004 ... )
The column below ( startdate ) is of timestamp .
Is my understanding wrong ?
SQL> select startdate , to_date(startdate , 'dd/mm/yyyy' ) newdate from tab;
NEW_DATE STARTDATE
09/18/2090 18-SEP-90 12.00.00.000000000 AM

Offense . None taken ...
I literally typed the sql ( as I did not copy & paste SQL / resultsets ) . I did use to_char in my original sql . I don't want to expose the real table . thats why I was giving the made up test case. If you carefully the SQL and the equivalent result sets ... you would have noticed .
Here is the SQL used ( of course , I have changed the table name ) ...
select to_char(startdate , 'mm/dd/yyyy') sdate, startdate from t
SDATE STARTDATE
09/18/2090 18-SEP-90 12.00.00.000000 AM
The flatfile had the value of 091890 as the data .

# Example INIT.ORA file
# This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize
# your RDBMS installation for your site. Important system parameters
# are discussed, and example settings given.
# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
# For parameters that require different values in different size
# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
# according to installation size.
# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
# three scenarious provided in this file:
# -------Installation/Database Size------
# SMALL MEDIUM LARGE
# Block 2K 4500K 6800K 17000K
# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
# This way, when you change a public
# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
# parameters. For example, if you choose to use private rollback segments,
# these must be specified in different files, but since all gc_*
# parameters must be the same on all instances, they should be in one file.
# INSTRUCTIONS: Edit this file and the other INIT files it calls for
# your site, either by using the values provided here or by providing
# your own. Then place an IFILE= line into each instance-specific

Data Source creation for Master Data from Flat File to BW

Hi,
I need to upload Master Data from Flat File. Can anybody tell step by step right from begining of creation of DataSource up to Loading into Master Data InfoObject.
can any body have Document.
Regards,
Chakri.

Hi,
This is the procedure.
1. Create m-data with or without attributes.
2. Create infosource .
    a) with flexible update
         or
    b) with direct update
3. Create transfer rules and assign tyhe names of m-data and attribute in "Transfer rules" tab and transfer them to communication structure.
4. Create the flat-file with same stucture as communication structure.
5. if chosen direct update then create infopackage and assign the name of flat-file and schedule it.
6. if chosen flexible update the create update rule with assigning name of the infosource and the schedule it by creating infopackage.
Hope this helps. If still have prob then let me know.
Follow this link also.

How to load the data from flat file ( ex excel ) to Planning area directly

Hi all ,
How can i load thedata fro m flat file directly to Planning area .
PLease help me in this.
Regards,
Chandu .

download one key figure data from planning book ( interactive damand plan) and made some changes and need to upload the data back to same planning book
But, may I know why you are thinking of downloading, changing and uploading for just changing the figures for a particular key figure. You can do it in the planning book itself.
However, not all the key-figures can be changed. But, what type of key-figure you are speaking here? Is it like 'Forecast' for which the value is based on other key-figures, or is like a key-figure where some manual adjustments are to be done--so that it can be manually edited? However, in both the cases, the data can be changed in the planning book only. In first case, you can change the values of dependant key-figures and in the second case, you can change the key-figures directly.
And please note that you can change the values of the key-figures only at the detailed level. So, after loading the data in the book, use drill-down option, maintain the data at the detailed level, change the figures, and automatically, this gets reflected at the higher level.
In case you are unable to change the values, go to the 'Design' mode of the book, right-click your key-figure, under "Selected Rows", uncheck "Output Only" option. In case you are unable to see that option, then you are not authorised to change that. See if you can change the authorisations by going to the "Data View" tab in planning book configuration (/n/sapapo/sdp8b), and change the value of Status to 3.
Hope your query is answered with different solutions offered by many of the sdn colleagues here.

Guru Charan.

Scheduling Problem for uploading Data from Flat file to SAP

Hi guys,
I am facing a weared problem in uploading some leave records in z table. The code is working fine if we run it through se38 after selecting the file from a shared location from production server which has all the access rights.
This folder lies in the \usr folder of SAP Production.
I have kept all the Flat files in the shared path "
Tis-mum-iz-s1\migration\SAP-INT\leave\" ...
To give u exact directory structure..
Tis-mum-iz-s1 is the Server Name
usr is the SAP System folder used for uploads and downloads
usr |
...-> Migration |
 -> SAP-INT |
 -> leave -> (Flat Files)
Migration folder is shared with all rights.
Obviously, we cannot give shared drive as the variant in the scheduler.
So i use the system path i.e. \usr\sap\tmp\migration\sap-int\leave\ as the variant.
All my other download programs are working fine with this path as a variant...
But my this particular upload program does not work with this path....
I am giving u my code...

Help for loading data from flat file it is an imp for me!!

Hi All,

How to pass parameters to the Control file while loading the data from flat file to staging table

Thanks in advance

Hi ,
LOADDATA statement is required at the beginning of the control file.
INFILE: INFILE keyword is used to specify location of the datafile or datafiles.
INFILE* specifies that the data is found in the control file and not in an external file. INFILE ‘$FILE’, can be used to send the filepath and filename as a parameter when registered as a concurrent program.
INFILE ‘/home/vision/kap/import2.csv’ specifies the filepath and the filename.
Hope this will help you......

I have to check the file :-
Validation are 1st line should start from 0 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
The for 2nd line also same thing ..it should start from 9 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
Then the 3rd line should start from 1 else it should raise an error and insert that error into one table .
After that i have to do a validation like i will read the 1st line 2nd column .. It should be like this BP-V1 else raise an error and insert that error to a table . Then i will check the 3rd column which is 20100928 , it should be YYYYMMDD format else same thing ERROR.
Then like this for all columns i have different validation .......
Then it will check for the 2nd line 3rd column . this is an account no .1st i will check it should be 12 char else ERROR .Then I will check that what user has imputed in the form.Like for example User putted 111111111 then i will check with this 000111111111 which is there in the 2nd line . I have to add 000 before that Account no which user imputed .
Then the lines which is starting from 1 , i have to take all the 2nd column for all the lines which is starting from 1 and i have to do a sum . After that i have to compare that sum with the value in the 1st lines ( Starting from 0) 6th column . It should be same else ERROR ...
Then same way i have to count all the lines which is starting from 1 . Then i have to compare with the 7th column of 1st line . It should be same . Here in this file it should be 9.

Error in loading data from flat file....

Hi,
While loading the data from flat file , only one column is getting populated in the ODS and after that the sixth column is getting populated with the null values. Also when I save the changes in CSV file .. its not getting saved.
Could you please tell me what could be the probable reason for this.
Also what are the points we should keep in mind while loading from flat files.
Regards,
Jeetu

Hi,
You need to take care of -
1. you flat file structure ( left to right columns) should match with the datasource ( top to down) column to column. if you don't wish to laod some column, leave it as blank column in flat file.
2. your file should not be open when loading data
3. make sure your transfer rules & update rules are defined properly.
4. do the simulation in infopakage first & that will give you fair idea.
5. to start with load data first in PSA Only, check & then take it forward.
hope it helps

Ssis - import data from flat file to table (sql server 2012)

i have create a ssis for importing data from flat file to table in sql server 2012.
but i got the below error for some column in data flow task.
error: cannot processed because than one code page (950 and 1252)
anyone helps~

Hi,
The issue occurs because the source flat file uses ANSI/OEM – Tranditional Chinese Big5 encoding. When processing the source file, the flat file connection manager uses code page 950 for the columns. Because SQL Server uses code page to perform conversions
between non-Unicode data and Unicode data, the data in the code page 950 based input columns cannot be loaded to code page 1252 based destination columns. To resolve the issue, you need to load the data into a SQL Server destination table that includes Unicode
columns (nchar or nvarchar), and convert the input columns to Unicode columns via Data Conversion or the Advanced Editor for the Flat File Source at the same time.
Another option that may not be that practical is to create a new database based on the Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_BIN collation, and load the data to non-Unicode columns directly.

Thank you very much for the helpful info.

Hi,
As per the inputs given by you guys i started loading data from flat file.

Use LINQ to extract the data from a file...

Hi,
I have created a Subprocedure CreateEventList
which populates an EventsComboBox
with a current day's events (if any).
I need to store the events in a generic List communityEvents
which is a collection of
communityEvent
objects. This List needs to be created and assigned to the instance variable
communityEvents.
This method should call helper method ExtractData
which will use LINQ to extract the data from my file.
The specified day is the date selected on the calendar control. This method will be called from the CreateEventList.
This method should clear all data from List communityEvents.
A LINQ
query that creates CommunityEvent
objects should select the events scheduled for selected
day from the file. The selected events should be added to List
communityEvents.
See code below.
Thanks,
public class CommunityEvent
private int day;
public int Day
get
return day;
set
day = value;
private string time;
public string Time
get
return time;
set
time = value;
private decimal price;
public decimal Price
get
return price;
set
price = value;
private string name;
public string Name
get
return name;
set
name = value;
private string description;
public string Description
get
return description;
set
description = value;
private void eventComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 0)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "2.30PM. Price 12.50. Take part in creating various types of Arts & Crafts at this fair.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 1)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "4.30PM. Price 00.00. Take part in cleaning the local Park.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 2)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "1.30PM. Price 10.00. Take part in selling goods.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 3)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "12.30PM. Price 10.00. Take part in a game of rounders in the local Park.";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 4)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "11.30PM. Price 15.00. Take part in an Egg & Spoon Race in the local Park";
if (eventComboBox.SelectedIndex == 5)
descriptionTextBox.Text = "No Events today.";

Any help here would be great.
Look, you have to make the file a XML file type -- Somefilename.xml.
http://www.xmlfiles.com/xml/xml_intro.asp
You can use NotePad XML to make the XML and save the text file.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296560
Or you can just use Notepad (standard), if you know the basics of how to create XML, which is just text data that can created and saved in a text file, which, represents data.
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/522456/Reading-XML-using-LINQ
You can do a (select new CommunityEvent) just like the example is doing a
select new FileToWatch and load the XML data into the CommunityEvent properties.
So you need to learn how to make a manual XML textfile with XML data in it, and you need to learn how to use LINQ to read the XML. Linq is not going to work against some flat text file you created. There are plenty of examples out on Bing and Google
on how to use Linq-2-XML.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query
<copied>
LINQ extends the language by the addition of query
expressions, which are akin to
SQL statements, and can be used to conveniently extract and process data from
arrays, enumerable
classes, XML documents,
relational databases, and third-party data sources. Other uses, which utilize query expressions as a general framework for readably composing arbitrary computations, include the construction of event handlers[2]
or
monadic parsers.[3]
