SAP BW Flatfile Upload via Process Chain

[Former Member]

Hi!

I've got a problem with my FlatFile Upload and I'm searching for some ideas about this Problem.

I want to load several Flatfiles (.csv) into InfoObjects via a Process Chain.

Each Flatfile will be loaded with an InfoPackage to the PSA and then with a DTP to the IO.

First all Attribute Files will be loaded then all Text Files.

In the Process Chain all Loading Steps are in row one by one no parallel processes.

The FlatFiles are on the local PC C:\FF\Example.csv.

Due to the fact that the Files aren't on the AppSever I have to start the Chain Synchronously.

The First File is loaded without any problem. But then it stops at the IP of the next File.

No Error occurse but it is not loaded (Status Yellow).

Only way out -> Set it on "Red" manually".

If I repeat the chain at this step it will start and load this file but will stop at the next file.

Has anyone an idea what could be the problem or any solutions?

Thx

Hi,

As we all know,Loading flat file from workstation using pc is not possible. Hence either you manually load your file to IP and shedule pc ahead or load the files to application server n then select application server while loading data . Use function module ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER for the same

Or Fill the data in sap customer table n use an appropriate extractor to load it to the target.
