RAR Uploading Textobjects fails

Former Member — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:55:49 GMT

Hi,

we have following issue:

The upload of text-objects (downloaded from the backend by program /VIRSA/ZCC_DOWNLOAD_DESC ) to RAR doesn't work for us.

We download one language only, called the file SAPtext.txt and we have chosen the appropriate menu in RAR:

Upload Objects -> Text Objects

We get following error messages:

Cannot assign an empty string to host variable 4.

com.virsa.cc.rulearchitect.bo.ObjectTextBO.insertObjectText(ObjectTextBO.java:84)

com.virsa.cc.comp.UploadTexts.onActionUploadTextObjs(UploadTexts.java:335)

com.virsa.cc.comp.wdp.InternalUploadTexts.wdInvokeEventHandler(InternalUploadTexts.java:169)

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.generation.DelegatingView.invokeEventHandler(DelegatingView.java:87)

and so on. I found OSS Note 1262325 and we still have this problem. Does anybody know how to proceed?

BTW: Uploading of Authorization Objects works fine!

We are using Access Control 5.3

Thanks!

Christian

Hi christian,

Please convert both the files in UTF-8 encoding format and then try to upload the files again. I think this resolves the issue .

Hello Christian,

Would suggest you to check the sequening of the files while uploading once again.

We also encountered such a problem and if I remember correctly - what took us out of the same was the sequencing of the files only.

Hi Hersh,

what do you mean with sequencing?

I've done the following:

File from /VIRSA/ZCC_DOWNLOAD_DESC uploaded to Upload Objects -> Text Objects

File from /VIRSA/ZCC_DOWNLOAD_SAPOBJ uploaded to Upload Objects -> Permissions

Uploading Permissions works fine, uploading text objects (tried UTF-8 as well) doesn't work. I don't know how to proceed.

P.S.

I replaced/removed all # and § !

We are not using an unicode system

Finally Got it!

There was one row containing three tabs instead of two:

PRM EN Reference table (BC220/BC230)

after removing this row, the upload is working fine!

Hi CHristian

We have a similar issue. Can you please advise how you identifed the row with 3 tabs?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Roland,

I'm using a text-editor called Notepad++ - there you have an extended search option to look for /t/t/t - three tabs in a row.

There might be other editors as well.

If this doesn't help - you have to look from row to row to find the error.

Regards,

Christian

Hi Young,

Allow me to answer. Start Excel and open the texts from Excel. Use tab as delimiter.

I've had similar issues to when creating customised rulesets for clients. As a tip, I recommend trying to get a copy of UltraEdit (a text editor which shows tabs/columns in text files) or even a MS Excel add in tool such as ASAP utilities.

kind regards

I have encountered the same issue.

In our case, removing all occurences of the "§" special character helped. Unfortunately, this prevents us from using a background job to schedule automatic updates.
